1 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ الرَّزَّازُ الْكُوفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي خَالِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ سَعْدَانَ الْحَنَّاطُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ الْمِيثَمِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ (ع) لَمَّا وُلِدَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ (ع) أَنْ يَهْبِطَ فِي أَلْفٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَيُهَنِّئَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (ص) مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ مِنْ جَبْرَئِيلَ (ع) قَالَ وَ كَانَ مَهْبِطُ جَبْرَئِيلَ (ع) عَلَى جَزِيرَةٍ فِي الْبَحْرِ فِيهَا مَلَكٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ فُطْرُسُ كَانَ مِنَ الْحَمَلَةِ فَبُعِثَ فِي شَيْءٍ فَأَبْطَأَ فِيهِ فَكُسِرَ جَنَاحُهُ وَ أُلْقِيَ فِي تِلْكَ الْجَزِيرَةِ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ فِيهَا سِتَّمِائَةِ عَامٍ حَتَّى وُلِدَ الْحُسَيْنُ (ع) فَقَالَ الْمَلَكُ لِجَبْرَئِيلَ (ع) أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ- قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْعَمَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ (ص) بِنِعْمَةٍ فَبُعِثْتُ أُهَنِّئُهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ مِنِّي فَقَالَ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ احْمِلْنِي مَعَكَ لَعَلَّ مُحَمَّداً (ص) يَدْعُو اللَّهَ لِي قَالَ فَحَمَلَهُ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ (ص) وَ هَنَّأَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ هَنَّأَهُ مِنْهُ وَ أَخْبَرَهُ بِحَالِ فُطْرُسَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ أَدْخِلْهُ فَلَمَّا أَدْخَلَهُ أَخْبَرَ فُطْرُسُ النَّبِيَّ (ص) بِحَالِهِ فَدَعَا لَهُ النَّبِيُّ (ص) وَ قَالَ لَهُ تَمَسَّحْ بِهَذَا الْمَوْلُودِ وَ عُدْ إِلَى مَكَانِكَ قَالَ فَتَمَسَّحَ فُطْرُسُ بِالْحُسَيْنِ (ع) وَ ارْتَفَعَ وَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (ص) أَمَا إِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ سَتَقْتُلُهُ- وَ لَهُ عَلَيَّ مُكَافَاةُ أَنْ لَا يَزُورَهُ زَائِرٌ إِلَّا بَلَّغْتُهُ عَنْهُ وَ لَا يُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْهِ مُسَلِّمٌ إِلَّا بَلَّغْتُهُ سَلَامَهُ وَ لَا يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ مُصَلٍّ إِلَّا بَلَّغْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَ

1. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Qurashi Al-Razzāz Al-Kūfi narrated to me from his uncle Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Mūsā ibn Sa’dān Al-Ḥannāť, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Qāsim Al-Ḥaďrami, from Ibrāhīm ibn Shu’ayb Al-Maythami, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: When Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) was born, Allāh ordered Jabra`īl to descend (to the earth) with one thousand angels to congratulate the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) on behalf of Allāh and himself. (On his way to the Prophet (s.a.a.w.)) Jabra`īl descended on an island in the sea where an angel named Fuťrus lived. Fuťrus was one of the carriers (of the Throne). At one point, he had procrastinated about carrying out an order of Allāh. Therefore, his wings were broken and he was thrown onto this island. He continued worshipping Allāh on that island for six hundred years, after which Ḥusain (a.s.) was born. Fuťrus asked him, “Where are you going?” “Allāh has blessed Muḥammad (s.a.a.w.) with a blessing (child), and I have been sent to congratulate him on behalf of Allāh and myself,” Jabra`īl replied. “O Jabra`īl! Take me with you. Perhaps Muḥammad (s.a.a.w.) will intercede for me,” Fuťrus said. So Jabra`īl carried Fuťrus. When they arrived, Jabra`īl congratulated the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) on behalf of Allāh and himself, and then informed him of Fuťrus. The Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) told Jabra`īl to bring Fuťrus inside. After Fuťrus was brought inside, he informed the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) of his situation. The Prophet (s.a.a.w.) prayed for him and said to him, “Rub (your wings) on this newborn child (Ḥusain (a.s.)) and (you will) return to your (original) position.” Fuťrus rubbed his wings on Ḥusain (a.s.) and started ascending (to the heavens). As he was ascending, he said, “O Messenger of Allāh! Verily your nation will kill him. Verily, as my repayment to him (Ḥusain (a.s.)), no one will come to his Ziyārah, say Salām to him, or send blessing(s) on him without me informing him of it.” Then Fuťrus ascended (to the heavens).

1. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā ibn ‘Ubayd Al-Yaqťīni, from Muḥammad ibn Sinān, from Abī Sa’īd Al-Qammāť, from Ibn Abī Ya’fūr, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: One day the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) was in the house of Fāťimah (s.a.) and Ḥusain (a.s.) was sitting on his lap. Suddenly, the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) started to cry and fell in Sujūd. (After raising his head) he said: O Fāťimah, daughter of Muḥammad! (Allāh) the Most High, the Most Exalted just appeared to me in your house in the most beautiful form and appearance and asked me, “O Muḥammad! Do you love Ḥusain (a.s.)?” I replied, “Yes, he is the light of my eyes, the fruit of my heart, my flower (in this life), and the skin between my two eyes.” Allāh said: O Muḥammad! – and He placed His Hand on the head of Ḥusain (a.s.) – Blessed is this newborn baby upon whom I have sent My prosperity, blessings, mercy, and pleasure. My curse, wrath, chastisement, disgrace, and punishment are upon those who antagonize him, fight him, incite (the people) against him, and kill him. Verily he is the Master of Martyrs from the first to the last, in this life and in the Hereafter.

2 وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ النَّاقِدُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هَارُونَ الْعِيسِيُّ [الْعَبْسِيُّ] عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْهَبِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ حَنَانٍ [حَيَّانَ] عَنْ خَالِدٍ الرَّبَعِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ كَعْباً يَقُولُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ لَعَنَ قَاتِلَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) إِبْرَاهِيمُ خَلِيلُ الرَّحْمَنِ لَعَنَهُ وَ أَمَرَ وُلْدَهُ بِذَلِكَ وَ أَخَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعَهْدَ وَ الْمِيثَاقَ ثُمَّ لَعَنَهُ مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ وَ أَمَرَ أُمَّتَهُ بِذَلِكَ ثُمَّ لَعَنَهُ دَاوُدُ وَ أَمَرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِذَلِكَ ثُمَّ لَعَنَهُ عِيسَى وَ أَكْثَرَ أَنْ قَالَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْعَنُوا قَاتِلَهُ وَ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُمْ أَيَّامَهُ فَلَا تَجْلِسُوا عَنْهُ فَإِنَّ الشَّهِيدَ مَعَهُ كَالشَّهِيدِ مَعَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مُقْبِلٍ غَيْرِ مُدْبِرٍ [مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ وَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بُقْعَتِهِ وَ مَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ زَارَ كَرْبَلَاءَ وَ وَقَفَ عَلَيْهَا وَ قَالَ إِنَّكِ لَبُقْعَةٌ كَثِيرَةُ الْخَيْرِ فِيكِ يُدْفَنُ الْقَمَرُ الْأَزْهَرُ

2. Abul Ḥusain Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Ali Al-Nāqid narrated to me from Abī Hārūn Al-‘Abasi, from Abil Ash-hab Ja’far ibn Ḥayyān, from Khālid Al-Rab’i, from someone who heard Ka’b say: The first person who cursed the killer(s) of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) was Ibrāhīm (a.s.), the Friend of Allāh. He ordered his children to curse them and took a covenant from his children (in this regard). After Ibrāhīm (a.s.), Mūsā ibn ‘Imrān (a.s.) cursed the killers of Ḥusain (a.s.) and he ordered his nation to do so. Dāwūd (a.s.) also cursed them and ordered the Banī Israel to do this. Then ‘Isā (a.s.) cursed them and he used to repeatedly say, “O Banī Israel! Curse the killers of Ḥusain (a.s.), and if (any of) you meet Ḥusain (a.s.), then support him. Those who are martyred with Ḥusain (a.s.) are like those who have been martyred with all of the prophets who faced (their enemies) and did not run away (from them).” It is as if I can see his place (of burial). Every prophet has visited Karbalā. They have all stood on that land and said, “Verily you are a land filled with blessings. Verily the shining moon will be buried within you.”

3 حَدَّثَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ بِالرَّيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ النَّصِيبِيُّ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الْمَشِيخَةُ أَنَّ الْمَلَكَ الَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) وَ أَخْبَرَهُ بِقَتْلِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) كَانَ مَلَكَ الْبِحَارِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ مَلَكاً مِنْ مَلَائِكَةِ الْفِرْدَوْسِ نَزَلَ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ فَنَشَرَ أَجْنِحَتَهُ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ صَاحَ صَيْحَةً وَ قَالَ يَا أَهْلَ الْبِحَارِ الْبَسُوا أَثْوَابَ الْحُزْنِ فَإِنَّ فَرْخَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) مَذْبُوحٌ ثُمَّ حَمَلَ مِنْ تُرْبَتِهِ فِي أَجْنِحَتِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مَلَكٌ فِيهَا إِلَّا شَمَّهَا وَ صَارَ عِنْدَهُ لَهَا أَثَرٌ وَ لَعَنَ قَتَلَتَهُ وَ أَشْيَاعَهُمْ وَ أَتْبَاعَهُمْ

3. Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali Al-Za’farāni narrated to me in the city of Ray from Muḥammad ibn ‘Umar Al-Nasībi, from Hishām ibn Sa’d, who said: Some scholars narrated to me that the angel who came to the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) and informed him of the killing of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) was the angel of the seas. An angel from Firdaws flew down to an ocean, with his wings spread out over the (entire) ocean. He cried out, “O inhabitants of the seas! Attire yourselves in garments of grief, for the son of the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) will be slaughtered.” Then he carried some of the dust of Ḥusain (a.s.) with his wings to the heavens. There was no angel that remained who did not smell it and who was not thereby agitated. They all cursed the killers of Ḥusain (a.s.), their supporters, and their followers.

1. My father and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan (ibn Aḥmad) ibn Walīd both narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā ibn ‘Ubayd, from Safwān ibn Yaḥyā, and from Ja’far ibn ‘Isā ibn ‘Ubaydillāh, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Ḥusain ibn Abī Ghundar, from someone who narrated to him, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: One day Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) was sitting on the Prophet’s lap. The Prophet (s.a.a.w.) was playing with him and making him laugh when ‘Āyishah said, “O Messenger of Allāh! How intense is your admiration of this boy!” The Prophet (s.a.a.w.) replied, “Woe onto you! How can I not love him and admire him when he is the fruit of my heart and the light of my eyes?! Verily my nation will kill him. Allāh will register the reward of one of my Hajj for those who go to his Ziyārah after his death.” “O Messenger of Allāh! One of your Hajj?” ‘Āyishah asked. “Yes, even two of my Hajj,” the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) replied. “O Messenger of Allāh! Two of your Hajj?” ‘Āyishah asked. “Yes, even four (of my Hajj),” the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) replied. ‘Āyishah kept on asking and the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) kept on increasing the rewards until the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) counted (the reward of the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) equal) to ninety of his Hajj as well as ninety of his ‘Umrah.

2. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from his father, from ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad ibn Sālim, from Muḥammad ibn Khālid, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ḥammād Al-Basri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān Al-Asam, from Misma’ ibn ‘Abdil Malik, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Fāťimah (s.a.) was carrying Ḥusain (a.s.) one day when the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) took him from her. He said (to Ḥusain (a.s.)), “Allāh’s curse be upon those who (will) kill you. Allāh’s curse be upon those who (will) loot you. May Allāh destroy those who (will) help one another against you. May Allāh judge between me and those who (will) support others against you.” Fāťimah (s.a.) asked, “O father! What are you saying?!” The Prophet (s.a.a.w.) replied: O My daughter! I remembered the tragedies that will befall him after me and you, and how he will be hurt, oppressed, betrayed, and violated. When this happens, he will be accompanied by a group (of people) who are like the stars of the sky, and (they) will be led toward death. The Prophet (s.a.a.w.) continued, “It is as if I can see their camp, the place where they will dismount from their sumpters, and their dust.” Fāťimah (s.a.) asked, “O father! Where is this place you are describing?” The Prophet (s.a.a.w.) replied: It is a land called Karbalā. It is the land of (KARB) agony and (BALĀ) affliction for us and for the nation. The most wicked ones from my nation will rise against them (Ḥusain (a.s.) and his companions). Even if all of the inhabitants of the heavens and the earths intercede for one of those who rise against Ḥusain (a.s.), their intercession will not be accepted, and they will abide in Hell eternally. Fāťimah (s.a.) asked, “O father! So he (Ḥusain (a.s.)) will be killed?” The Prophet (s.a.) replied: Yes, O my daughter. No one has ever been killed (or will be killed) other than Ḥusain (a.s.) on whom the heavens, the earths, the mountains, the angels, the beasts, and the whales in the oceans (will) cry. And if these created beings had been given permission (to destroy everything to avenge Ḥusain (a.s.)), no living object would have survived (after the killing of Ḥusain (a.s.)). (Verily) a group of people who love us will go to him (his Ziyārah). (Verily) no one on earth knows Allāh better than they do and no one is more committed to our rights than they are. (Verily) no one on earth other than them will pay attention to Ḥusain (a.s.). (Verily) they are the lights in the darkness of oppression. They are the intercessors and they are those who will join me by my Pool tomorrow (on the Day of Judgment). I will recognize them by their marks when I see them (on the Day of Judgment). (On that day) the followers of every religion will look for their leaders and they (those who go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.)) will look for no one other than us. They are the pillars of the earth, and the rains shower down through them.

3. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan (ibn Aḥmad) ibn Walīed narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā ibn ‘Ubayd, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Zakariyyā Al-Mu`min, from Ayyūb ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān, Abil Ḥasan Zayd ibn Ḥasan, and ‘Abbād, from Sa’d (ibn Ťarīf) Al-Iskāf, from Abī Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)), who said: The Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) said: Those who want to live like me, die like me, enter the forever green Paradise, and hold on to the tree that my Lord has planted with His own hands, should follow ‘Ali (a.s.) and the successors after him and should submit to (believing in) their virtues. Verily they are the guides with whom Allāh is pleased. He has given them my knowledge and my understanding. They are my descendants who are from my flesh and blood. I complain to Allāh about their enemies from my nation, about those who deny their virtues, and about those who abandon me by (oppressing) them. I swear to Allāh that they will kill my son. May Allāh exclude them from my intercession.

4. Ḥasan ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā narrated to me from his father, from Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb, from ‘Ali ibn Shajarah, from Salām Al-Ju’fi, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Muḥammad Al-San’āni, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) said: The Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) would draw Ḥusain (a.s.) to himself whenever Ḥusain (a.s.) would enter (a place where the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) happened to be). Then he would tell the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) to hold Ḥusain (a.s.), after which he would fall on Ḥusain (a.s.), kissing him and crying. So (once) Ḥusain (a.s.) asked, “O father! Why are you crying?” “I am kissing parts of your body which will be struck with swords,” the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) replied. “O father! Will I be killed?” Ḥusain (a.s.) asked. “Yes. I swear to Allāh that you, your father, and your brother will be killed,” the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) replied. “Will the places of our martyrdom be far from each other?” Ḥusain (a.s.) asked. “Yes. O my son,” the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) replied. “So who from your nation will come to our Ziyārah?” Ḥusain (a.s.) asked. “No one but the truthful ones from my nation will come to my Ziyārah, to the Ziyārah of your father, to the Ziyārah of your brother, or to your Ziyārah,” the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) replied.

5. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from Abī Sa’īd Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Zakariyyā Al-‘Adwi Al-Basri, from ‘Amr ibn Mukhtār, from Isḥāq ibn Bishr, from Qawwām servant of Quraysh, from his master ‘Umar ibn Hubayrah, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) while Ḥasan and Ḥusain (a.s.) were sitting on his lap. He kept kissing Ḥasan (a.s.) and then kissing Ḥusain (a.s.) and saying to him, “Woe unto those who (will) kill you.”

6 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْقَمَّاطِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) فِي مَنْزِلِ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ فِي حَجْرِهِ إِذْ بَكَى وَ خَرَّ سَاجِداً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا فَاطِمَةُ يَا بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ الْعَلِيَّ الْأَعْلَى تَرَاءَى لِي فِي بَيْتِكَ هَذَا فِي سَاعَتِي هَذِهِ فِي أَحْسَنِ صُورَةٍ وَ أَهْيَإِ هَيْئَةٍ فَقَالَ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَ تُحِبُّ الْحُسَيْنَ قُلْتُ يَا رَبِّ قُرَّةُ عَيْنِي وَ رَيْحَانَتِي وَ ثَمَرَةُ فُؤَادِي وَ جِلْدَةُ مَا بَيْنَ عَيْنَيَّ فَقَالَ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) بُورِكَ مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ عَلَيْهِ بَرَكَاتِي وَ صَلَوَاتِي وَ رَحْمَتِي وَ رِضْوَانِي وَ نَقِمَتِي وَ لَعْنَتِي وَ سَخَطِي وَ عَذَابِي وَ خِزْيِي وَ نَكَالِي عَلَى مَنْ قَتَلَهُ وَ نَاصَبَهُ وَ نَاوَاهُ وَ نَازَعَهُ أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيِّدُ الشُّهَدَاءِ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ سَيِّدُ شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ أَبُوهُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ وَ خَيْرٌ فَأَقْرِئْهُ السَّلَامَ وَ بَشِّرْهُ بِأَنَّهُ رَايَةُ الْهُدَى وَ مَنَارُ أَوْلِيَائِي وَ حَفِيظِي وَ شَهِيدِي عَلَى خَلْقِي وَ خَازِنُ عِلْمِي- وَ حُجَّتِي عَلَى أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ أَهْلِ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ الثَّقَلَيْنِ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ

6. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Muḥammad ibn Sinān, from Abī Sa’īd Al-Qammāť, from Ibn Abī Ya’fūr, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: One day when the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) was in the house of Fāťimah (s.a.), Ḥusain (a.s.) was sitting on his lap. Suddenly the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) started to cry and fell in Sujūd. (After raising his head) he said: O Fāťimah, daughter of Muḥammad! (Allāh) the Most High, the Most Exalted just appeared to me in your house in the most beautiful form and appearance and asked me, “O Muḥammad! Do you love Ḥusain (a.s.)?” I replied, “He is the light of my eyes, the fruit of my heart, my flower (in this life), and the skin between my two eyes.” Allāh said: O Muḥammad! – and He placed His hand on the head of Ḥusain (a.s.) – Blessed is this newborn baby upon whom I have sent My prosperity, blessings, mercy, and pleasure. And My blame, curse, wrath, chastisement, disgrace, and punishment are upon those who antagonize him, fight him, incite (the people) against him, and kill him. Verily he is the Master of Martyrs from the first to the last in this life and in the Hereafter. Verily he is the Master of the Youth of Paradise from among all of the creation and his father is more graceful and higher (in rank) than he is. (O Muḥammad!) Convey My Salām to him and give him glad tidings that he is the flag of My guidance, the lighthouse for My friends, My trustee and witness over My creation, the keeper of My knowledge, and My Decisive Proof on the inhabitants of the heavens and the earths, and on all of mankind and Jinn.
