Allamah Mir Hamid Husayn in Hadiyyat al-Ahbab
“The author of *Abqāt al-Anwār*, the most illustrious Sayyid, the profound scholar, the *Hujjat al-Islam*, and the propagator of the path of his pure forefathers, Janab Mir Hamid Husayn al-Musawi al-Hindi. His very existence was one of the divine signs of God and a living proof of the Twelver Shia faith. Anyone who studies the *Abqāt* will realize that in the field of *Kalam* (theology), particularly regarding the Imamate, no one since the dawn of Islam has articulated the arguments in such a manner, nor composed with such structure. It is evident that this comprehensive knowledge, breadth of vision, and mastery were granted only through the support of the Almighty and the guidance of the Sultan of the Era, the Master of the Time (may our souls be sacrificed for him).
He passed away around the year 1306 AH.
*Poetry:* ‘He who leaves behind a worthy successor in his homeland is ever-living.’
Janab Mir Sayyid Nasir Husayn, the son of that great man, is the inheritor of his father’s perfections and works, the second of that ‘surging ocean’ (his father), and the embodiment of the verse: *’Truly, when the noble travels, he does so by his own merit; and when the son of the noble travels, he is guided by both (himself and his father).’* He did not let his father’s labors go to waste; like his noble father, he is occupied with completing the *Abqāt al-Anwār*, several volumes of which have already been printed with excellent clarification. May God perpetuate the blessings of his noble existence and aid him in the defense of the true religion.”
