He walked out carrying Imam Hasan on one side and Imam Husayn on the other.

Seeing these five pure individuals, they said: “If he prays to God with these people, we fear the mountain will collapse upon us.” Out of fear that divine punishment would fall on them if they lied, they backed out, choosing instead to negotiate a peaceful agreement.
