\n My father told me...

\n My father told me, on the authority of Ali bin Ibrahim bin Hashim, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Muhammad bin Ali. It was narrated that Safwan Al-Jamal said: I heard: \n Abu Abd Allah -asws said: Indeed Allah -azwj has Elevated some lands and water streams above others. Some of them boasted to others and some transgressed and they were punished for not being humble to Allah -azwj .

So, Allah -azwj Empowered the polytheists over (the land of) Kabah and made Zamzam water salty, which ruined its taste. Indeed the land of Karbala and Euphrates water were the first land and flowing water which glorified Allah -azwj , the blessed and exalted.

So Allah -azwj Blessed them and said to the Land of Karbala, \u201cSpeak of that with which the Almighty Allah -azwj has Honoured you (with), for indeed the lands and the waters have boasted to one another.\u201d \n The Land of Karbala said: I am the sacred and blessed land of Allah \u2011azwj . Cure has been placed in my dust and water said I am not arrogant. Rather, I am humble and humiliated before He \u2011azwj (the One Lord) who has Blessed me.

I do not boast to those who are lower to me in rank. On the contrary, I am thankful to Allah -azwj . \n So Allah -azwj Honoured it, Increased His -azwj blessing on it for its humility and rewarded it with (the nearby burial of) Imam Husain -asws and his -asws companions.
