Hadith 255

Even if I were to be cut into pieces and pieces by the sword, and the fire is ignited for me and I am thrown in it, I would still prefer that over the disavowing from you-asws! ’
He-asws said: ‘You have harmonised to all goodness, O Hujr! May Allah-azwj Recompense you goodly on behalf of the People-asws of the Household of your Prophet-saww’. Then he-asws said: ‘Is there any drink of milk? ’ They brought him-asws milk in a cup. He-asws took it and drank all of it. He-asws remembered the accursed Ibn Muljim-la, and that nothing had been left for him-la. He-asws said: ‘and the Command of Allah was a Decree Ordained [33: 38]. Know that I-asws have drunk it all and there does not remain anything from this for your prisoner, and it is the last of my-asws sustenance from the world. So, by Allah-azwj, O my-asws son-asws! Quench him-la similar to what I-asws have drunk’. So, that was carried to him-la, and he-la drunk it’. Muhammad Bin Al-Hanafiya said, ‘When it was the night of the twenty first, and the night darkened, and it was the second night from the event, he-asws gathered his-asws children and his-asws family members, and bade them farewell, then said to them: ‘Allah-azwj is my-asws Caliph (replacement) upon you all, and He-azwj Suffices me-asws and is the best Protector! ’
And he-asws bequeathed to all of them with adhering with the Eman, and the religion, and the Ordinances which Rasool-Allah-saww had bequeathed with. From that is what is transmitted from him-asws what he-asws had bequeathed to Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws with, when the accursed Ibn Muljim-la had struck him-asws, and it is this: –
‘I-asws bequeath to you-asws both with fearing Allah-azwj’ – and continued it up to the end of what has passed in the report of Seyyid Al-Razy. He said, ‘Then the penetration of the poison increased into his-asws noble body, to the extent that we looked at his-asws feet, and they had reddened, wholly. That was grievous upon us and we despaired from him-asws (lost hope of recovery). Then in the morning he-asws felt heavy, and the people entered to see him-asws. He-asws instructed them, and forbade them, and bequeathed them. Then we presented the food and the drink to him-asws, but he-asws refused to drink. We looked at his-asws lips, and they were both trembling with the Zikr of Allah-azwj the Exalted, and his-asws forehead went on to sweat, and he-asws was wiping it by his-asws hand. I said, ‘O father-asws! I see you-asws wiping your-asws forehead’. He-asws said: ‘O my-asws son! I-asws heard your grandfather-saww Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘The Momin, when the death befalls with him, and his expiry draws near, his forehead sweats becomes like the wet pearls (upon it), and his sighing settles’. Then he-asws said: ‘O Abu Abdullah-asws, and O Awn! ’ Then he-asws called his-asws children all of them by their names, young and old, one after another, and went on bidding them farewell and saying: ‘Allah-azwj is my Caliph (replacement) upon you all. I-asws am entrusting you all to Allah-azwj! ’ And they were crying. Al-Hassan-asws said to him-asws: ‘O father-asws! What called you-asws to this? ’
He-asws said to him-asws: ‘O my-asws son-asws! I-asws had seen your-asws grandfather-saww Rasool-Allah-saww in my-asws dream before this event, by a night. I-asws had complained to him-saww of what (predicament) I-asws was in, from the humiliation and the harm from this community. He-saww said to me-asws: ‘Supplicate against them! ’ So, I-asws said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Replace me-asws for them with one eviler than me-asws and replace for me-asws with ones better than them’. He-saww said to me-asws: ‘Allah-azwj has Answered your-asws supplication. He-azwj will be Transferring you-asws to us-asws after three days’, and three days have passed. O Abu M
