Verily...

Verily, I -asws prefer to be buried by the shore of the Euphrates (River) than to be buried inside the Ka’bah.\u201d\u2019 [17] \n The Words of Abu Dharr Ghafari on the Shahadat of Imam Hussain -asws : \n The narrator of the Hadith says: \n On the day when ‘Uthman expelled Abu Dhar to Rabadhah, people said to him, “O Aba Dhar!

Rejoice, for verily this (suffering) is little in the way of Allah -zawj , the Exalted.” \n Abu Dharra replied: \n How insignificant this (suffering) is (in the way of Allah -zawj )! But how will you feel when Hussain -asws Ibn ‘Ali -asws is slaughtered – in such a terrible way?! \n I swear to Allah -zawj that no killing will be greater than the killing of Hussain -asws in (the history of) Islam.

Verily, Allah -zawj will Unsheathe His -zawj sword against this nation and Allah -zawj will never sheathe it again. Verily, Allah -zawj will Send an avenger from the progeny of Hussain -asws who will \n seek revenge against the people.

\n I swear to Allah -zawj that If you knew about (the grief) which will overcome the inhabitants of the seas, the mountains, the hills, the trees, and the heavens as a result of the killing of Hussain -asws you would cry so (intensely) that your soul would leave (your bodies). \n Seventy thousand angels will be alarmed in every sky through which the soul of Hussain -asws will pass (after he -asws will be martyred).

They will all stand up (for him -asws ) while their joints will be shaking (in awe of Hussain -asws ) until the Day of Judgement. \n Every cloud that passes, each (roar of) thunder, and every (strike of) lightning curses the killers of Hussain -asws . \n Every day the soul of Hussain -asws is presented to the Messenger of Allah -saww and they meet one another.

[18] \n Imam Ali -asws Named of the Killers of Hussain -asws Before Time: \n The narrator of the Hadith says: \n (One day) while Amir-ul-Momineen -asws was delivering a sermon to the people he said, “Ask me before you lose me! I swear to Allah -zawj that I will answer (your questions about) anything you might ask that has happened in the past or will happen in the future. \n So Sa\u2019d ibn Abi waqqas'” got up and asked, “O Amir-ul-Momineen -asws !

Tell me about the number of hairs that I have on my head and in my beard?” \n Amir-ul-Momineen -asws replied, “I say it by Allah -zawj that my -asws dear, the Rasool Allah -saww , informed me -asws that you would be asking me this question.
