Hadith 89

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub –
‘And it is told that When Al-Hassan-asws overlooked upon the death, Al-Husayn-asws said to him-asws: ‘I-asws want to know your-asws state, O my-asws brother-asws! ’ Al-Hassan-asws said to him-asws: ‘I-asws heard the Prophet-saww saying: ‘The intellect will not separate from us-asws, People-asws of the Household, for as long as the soul is withing us-asws’. So, place your-asws hand in my-asws hand until I-asws witness the Angel of death, I-asws shall grip your-asws hand’. He-asws placed his-asws hand in his-asws hand. When it was after a while, he-asws gripped his-asws hand with a light pressing. Al-Husayn-asws drew his-asws ear closer to his-asws mouth. He-asws said: ‘The Angel of death said to me-asws: ‘Receive glad tidings, for Allah-azwj is Pleased with you-asws, and your-asws grandfather-saww is an intercessor’. And Al-Husayn-asws said when he-asws placed Al-Hassan-asws in his-asws grave: ‘Shall I-asws oil my-asws head or perfume my-asws gatherings, and your-asws head is Pardoned and you-asws were offended against or shall I-asws listen to the world for something I-asws like, to all what is near you-asws is beloved. I-asws will not cease to cry so long as the doves are singing upon you, and for as long as the wind blows north and south. And for as long as my-asws eyes carry a drop of tears, and for as long as there is a stick in Al-Hijaz still green. My-asws crying is prolonged, and the tears are abundant, and you-asws are remote and the shrine is nearby. (Like) a stranger, and the edges of the houses are surrounding him. Indeed! Every one under the soil is a stranger. And the remaining ones do not rejoice other than the ones who had gone, and for the death there is a share in every youth. He is not warred against, the one who is hit with his wealth, but the one warred against is one who is left behind his brother. Your lineage is the one who whispered to you yesterday, and there is no lineage for the one under the soil’’. [60]
