Hadith 217

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And it is reported by the sheykh Ja’far Bin Nama in (the book) ‘Museyr Al Ahzaan’ by his chain, from a wife of Al Abbas son of Abdul Muttalib-as, and she is mother of Al Fazl, Lubabat Bint Al Haris. She said, ‘I saw in the dream, before the arrival of Al-Husayn, as if a piece from the flesh of Rasool-Allah-saww had been cut off and placed in my lap. So, I narrated the dream to Rasool-Allah-saww. He-saww said: ‘Your dream is true. (Syeda) Fatima-asws will be blessed with a boy-asws and he-asws would be handed to you-asws to look after him-asws’. The matter flowed upon that. One day I was brought him-asws and he-asws was placed in my lap. He-asws urinated, and a drop from it dropped upon his-saww clothes. I pinched him-asws, so he-asws cried. He-saww said like the angered: ‘No, O Umm Al Fazl! This cloth of mine-saww can be washed, and you have pained my-saww son-asws! ’
She said, ‘I left him-asws and went to fetch him-saww some water. I came to him-saww and found him-saww crying. I said, ‘What are you-saww crying from, O Rasool-Allah-saww? ’ He-saww said: ‘Jibraeel-as came to me-saww and informed me-saww that my-saww community will be killing this son-asws of mine-asws! ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘And the companions of Ahadeeth said, ‘When a whole year had come upon Al-Husayn-asws, twelve Angels came down to the Prophet-saww being upon different images, one of them was upon an image of a son of Adam-as, to console him-saww, and he said, ‘There shall befall with your-saww son-asws Al-Husayn-asws son-asws of Fatima-asws, what had befalled with Habeel-la from Qabeel-la, and he-asws would be Given the Recompense similar to Habeel-as, and burden would be loaded upon his-asws killer like the burden of Qabeel-la’. And there did not remain any Angel except he descended to the Prophet-saww, consoling him-saww, and the Prophet-saww kept saying: ‘O Allah-azwj! Abandon his-asws abandoner, and Kill his-asws killer, and do not let him enjoy with what he had sought’’. [245] (This is not a Hadith and is against the Isma – Infallibility of Ahl Al-Bayt-asws)
And from Ash’as Bin Usman, from his father, from Anas Bin Abu Suheym who said, ‘I heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘This son-asws of mine-saww will be killed in a land of Al-Iraq. So, the one who comes across him-asws, let him help him-asws’. Anas was present with Al-Husayn-asws and was killed with him-asws’’. [246]
And it is reported from Abdul Samad Bin Ahmad Bin Abu Al Jaysh, from his elder Abu Al Faraj Abdul Rahman Bin Al Jowzy, from his men, from Ayesha (well-known fabricator) who said, ‘Al-Husayn-asws entered to see the Prophet-saww, and he-asws was a boy, crawling. He-saww said: ‘Yes, Ayesha (later it is to Umm Salamara )! Shall I make you wonder? An Angel has entered to see me-saww just now, not having entered to see me-saww (before) at all! He said, ‘This son-asws of yours-saww would be killed, and if you-saww so desire, I can show you-saww from its soil at which he-asws would be killed’. He gave me-saww some red soil, and I-saww gave it to Umm Salamara, and shera treasured it in a glass. Shera extracted it on the he-asws was killed, and it was blood’’. [247]
And from Abdullah Bin Yahya who said, ‘We entered along with Ali-asws to Siffeen. When he-asws was on the border of Naynawa, there was a call: ‘Patience, O servant of Allah-azwj! ’ He-asws said: ‘I-asws had entered to see Rasool-Allah-saww and his-saww eyes were overflowing (with tears). I-asws said: ‘May my-asws father-as and my-asws mother-as be (sacrificed) for you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww! What is the matter your-saww eyes are overflowing? Has anyone angered you-saww? ’
He-saww said: ‘No, but Jibraeel-as was with me-saww. He-as informed me-saww that Al-Husayn-asws would be killed at the banks of the Euphrates, and he-saww: ‘Is it for you-saww that I-as make you-saww smell from its soil? ’ I-saww said: ‘Yes’. He-as extended his-as hand and grabbed a handful of soil and gave it to me-saww. So, I-saww could not control my-saww eyes from overflowing, and the name of the land is Karbala’. When two years had come to him-asws (Al-Husayn-asws), the Prophet-saww went out on a journey. He-saww stood in one of the roads and said: ‘We are for Allah-azwj and are returning to Him-azwj’, and his-saww eyes filled up. He-saww was asked about that. He-saww said: ‘This Jibraeel-as has informed me-saww about a land by the banks of the Euphrates called Karbala. My-saww son-asws Al-Husayn-asws would be killed in it. And it is as if I-saww am looking at him-asws and at his-asws slaying place and him-asws being buried at it, and it is as if I-saww am looking at the captives upon the humps of the mounts (camels), and the head of my-saww son-asws Al-Husayn-asws is being taken to Yazeed-la, may Allah-azwj Curse him-la. By Allah-azwj! No one shall look at the head of Al-Husayn-asws and rejoice except Allah-azwj would Cause differing between his heart and his tongue, and Allah-azwj would Punish him with a painful Punishment’. Then the Prophet-saww returned from his-saww journey saddened, worried, bleak, grief-stricken. He-saww ascended the pulpit, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws ascended with him-saww, and he-saww addressed and preached to the people. When he-saww was free from his-saww sermon, he-saww placed his-saww right hand upon the head of Al-Husayn-asws, and his-saww left hand upon the head of Al-Husayn-asws and said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Muhammad-saww is Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and these two are the pleasures of my-saww family, and best of my-saww aromas, and the most superior of my-saww offspring and the ones I-saww am leaving being among my-saww community. And Jibraeel-as has informed me that this son-asws of mine-saww would be killed by the poison, and the other would be martyred reddened with blood! O Allah-azwj! Bless for him-asws in his-asws killing and Make him-asws from the chiefs of the martyrs. O Allah-azwj! And do not Bless in his-asws killer and his-asws abandoner and Make him arrive to the heat of Your-azwj Fire, and Resurrect him in the lowest level of Hell! ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘The people clamoured with the crying and the wailing. The Prophet-saww said to them: ‘O you people! Are you crying for him-asws will not be helping him-asws? O Allah-azwj! You-azwj become a Guardian for him-asws, and a Helper! ’
Then he-saww said: ‘O people! I-asws am leaving behind among you all, the two weighty things – Book of Allah-azwj and my-saww family-asws, and my-saww aromas, and my-saww nature, and fruits of my-saww heart, and my-saww flesh. These two will never separate until they return to me-saww at the Fountain! Indeed! And I-saww am no asking you all (for anything) regarding that except what my-saww Lord-azwj has Commanded me to ask you all about. I-saww ask you for the cordiality in my-saww kindred and be cautioned from meeting me-saww tomorrow at the Fountain and you have hurt my-saww family, and killed People-asws of my-saww Household, and oppressed them! Indeed! Three flags from this community will be returning to me-saww on the Day of Qiyamah – the first flag is black, dark. The Angels would be alarmed from it. It would pause to me-saww. I-saww shall say to them: ‘Who are you? ’ They will have forgotten my-saww reminder, and they would say, ‘We are the people of Tawheed, from the Arabs’. I-saww shall say to them: ‘I-saww am Ahmad-saww, Prophet-saww of the Arabs and the non-Arabs’. They would say, ‘We are your-saww community’. I-saww shall say: ‘How did you replace me-saww from after me-saww, regarding People-asws of my-saww Household, and my-saww family, and Book of my-saww Lord-azwj? ’ They would say, ‘As for the Book, we wasted it, and as for the family, we made sure that we eradicated them from every new land’. When I-saww hear that from them, I-saww will turn my-saww face away from them, and they would be sent away thirsty, darkened of faces. Then another flag would return to me-saww, being more intensely black than the first one. I-saww shall say to them: ‘How did you replace me-saww from after me-saww regarding the two weighty things – Book of Allah-azwj and my-saww family? ’ They would say, ‘As for the greater (Book of Allah-azwj), we opposed it, and as for the smaller (Family), we tore them-asws apart with every tearing’. I-saww shall say to them: ‘Away from me-saww! ’ So, they would be sent away thirsty, darkened of faces. Then a flag would return to me-saww, their faces would be radiant. I-saww shall say to them: ‘Who are you? ’ They would say, ‘We are people of the word of Tawheed, and the piety, from the community of Muhammad Al-Mustafa-saww, and we are the remainder of the people of truth. We carried the Book of our Lord-azwj, and permitted its Permissibles, and we prohibited its Prohibitions, and we loved the offspring of our Prophet-saww Muhammad-saww and helped them-asws from all what we could help them-asws with from ourselves, and we fought alongside them-asws against the ones who fought them! ’
I-saww shall be saying to them: ‘Receive glad tidings, for I-saww am your Prophet-saww Muhammad-saww, and you have been in the world like what you have said! ’ Then I-saww shall quench them from my-saww Fountain. So, they will be sent saturated, joyful. Then they would enter the Paradise, living eternally therein, for ever and ever! ’’[248]
