The Reward for Those Who Drink Water, Remembering Ĥusain and Cursing His Killers — Hadith 1

1. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz Al-Kūfi narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Al-Khashāb, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥassān, from ‘Abdil Raḥmān ibn Kuthayr, from Dāwūd Al-Raqqi, who said: (One day) when I was with Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a. s. )) he asked for some water. After he drank it, his eyes were filled with tears and he started to cry. Then he (the Imam (a. s. )) said to me: O Dāwūd! May Allāh’s curse be upon the killers of Ḥusain (a. s. ). Verily if a slave (of Allāh) drinks water, remembering Ḥusain (a. s. ) and cursing his killers, Allāh will register one hundred thousand good deeds for him. He will wipe one hundred thousand bad deeds from his (book of) deeds and will add one hundred thousand ranks to his status; and it will be as if he has freed one hundred thousand slaves. On the Day of Judgment, Allāh will resurrect him with his heart filled with peace. The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: Muḥammad ibn Ya’qūb (Al-Kulayni), from ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad, from Sahl ibn Ziyād, from Ja’far ibn Ibrāhīm Al-Ḥaďrami, from Sa’d ibn Sa’d.
