Jabra`ǐl Shows the Land on Which Ĥusain Will Be Killed to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ — Hadith 7

7. My father narrated to me from Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali Al-Za’farāni, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Amr Al-Aslami, from ‘Amr ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Anbasah, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Amr, from his father, from Ibn ‘Abbās, who said: The angel who came to Muḥammad (s. a. a. w. ) informing him of the killing of Ḥusain (a. s. ) was the Guardian Spirit, Jabra`īl. He came to the Prophet (s. a. a. w. ) with his wings spread out, crying and screaming. He was carrying some of the dust of Ḥusain (a. s. ) from which a fragrance emanated just as it does from musk. The Messenger of Allāh (s. a. a. w. ) asked him, “Will a nation who kills my son – or the son of my daughter – achieve salvation? ” Jabra`īl replied, “Allāh will afflict them with disagreements so their hearts will disagree with one another. ” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: ‘Ubaydullāh ibn Faďl ibn Muḥammad ibn Hilāl, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Amīrah Al-Aslami, from ‘Amr ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Anbasah, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Amr, from his father, from Ibn ‘Abbās.
