Minhal cried out in anguish, "Master, what is the reason for this weeping? Martyrdom is your inheritance." The Master replied, "Undoubtedly, yes, but Alas, you have not been fair. Martyrdom is indeed the inheritance, It is the nature of the Prophet's family, But the unveiled heads of my mother and sisters, Was this also a part of my inheritance?"
