Imam Ali (ع) said that when the Messenger of Allah (ص) died, Fatima (ع) went to his gravesite, took a handful of its dust, put it on her eyes, wept and composed these verses of poetry: “My soul is confined with every sigh, How I wish it departed as sighs depart. No good is there in life after you so I For fear my life will prolong do I cry.
