They told me that Abdu'l- Hamid had ordered my everlasting imprisonment, and I said, `This is impossible! I shall not always be a prisoner. If Abdu'l- Hamid were immortal, such a sentence might possibly be carried out. It is certain that one day I shall be free. My body may be captive for a time, but Abdu'l- Hamid has no power over my spirit-- free it must remain-- that can no man imprison'.
(40:3)
