Hadith 380

asws. Not an hour had passed except and Al-Husayn-asws came and saw the fawn with his-asws brother-asws playing with it. He-asws said: ‘O my-asws brother-asws! From where is this fawn for you-asws? ’ Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘My-asws grandfather-saww Rasool-Allah-saww gave it to me-asws’. Al-Husayn-asws came quickly to his-asws grandfather-saww and said: ‘O grandfather-saww! You-saww gave a fawn to my-asws brother, he-asws is playing with it, and you-saww did not give me-asws like it’. And he-asws went on repeating the words to his-asws grandfather-saww, and he-saww was silent. But, his-saww mind was entertaining with something he-saww could be nice with from the speech, until it led to the matter of Al-Husayn-asws, until he-asws thought of crying. While he-saww was like that when we saw squealing to have been raised by the door of the Masjid. We looked and there was a gazelle and with it was its fawn, and behind her was a wolf ushering it to Rasool-Allah-saww and hitting it with one of its sides until it came with it to the Prophet-saww. Then the gazelle spoke with an eloquent tongue and it said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! There were two fawns for me. One of them was hunted by the hunter, and he came with it to you-saww, and there remains this other one for me, and I am joyful with it, and I was feeding it now when I heard a speaker saying: ‘Quick! Quick, O gazelle, with your fawn to the Prophet-saww Muhammad-saww, and arrive to him-saww quickly, because Al-Husayn-asws is standing in front of his-asws grandfather-saww, and he-asws has thought of crying, and the Angels in their entirety have raised their heads from their cloisters of the worship, and if Al-Husayn-asws were to cry, the Angels of Proximity would cry for his-asws crying! ’
And I heard a speaker as well saying: ‘Quick, O gazelle, before the tears flow upon the cheeks of Al-Husayn-asws, for if you do not do so, I shall cause this wolf to overcome upon you and it will devour you along with your fawn! ’ So, I have come with my fawn to you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww, and cut across a far distance, but the ground was folded for me until I came to you-saww quickly, and I praise Allah-azwj, my Lord-azwj, upon having come to you-saww before the tears of Al-Husayn-asws had flowed upon his-asws cheeks’. The extollations of Oneness, and the exclamations of Takbeer rose from the companions, and the Prophet-saww supplicated for the gazelle with the goodness and the Blessings, and Al-Husayn-asws took the fawn and came with it to his-asws mother-asws Al-Zahra-asws. She-asws was joyful with that with mighty joy’’. [206]
And in a report from Salman Al-Farsi-ra having said, ‘A bunch of grapes was gifted to the Prophet-saww in other than its season. He-saww said to me-ra: ‘O Salman-ra! Bring my-saww to sons-asws Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws for them
