So Al-Sadiq -asws said to him: ‘And not like our -asws day of our -asws hard work at Karbala, and if it was like our day of Al-Saqeefa, and burning of the door upon Amir Al-Momineen -asws , and Fatima -asws , and Al-Hassan -asws , and Al-Hussain -asws , and (Syeda) Zaynab -asws , and (Syeda) Umm Kulsoom -asws , and (Bibi) Fizza –ra , and murder of (Syed) Mohsin -asws by the kicking, is more grievous and more bitter, because it is the origin of the day of the foundation (of injustice and atrocity leading to Karbala)’.
قَالَ الْمُفَضَّلُ: يَا مَوْلَايَ أَسْأَلُ قَالَ: اسْأَلْ قَالَ: يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ إِذَا الْمَوْؤُدَةُ سُئِلَتْ بِأَيِّ ذَنْبٍ قُتِلَتْ Al-Mufazzal said, ‘O my Master -asws ! Can I ask?’ He -asws said: ‘Ask’. He said, ‘O my Master -asws ! And when the cordiality is Questioned about [81:8] For what sin was it killed [81:9] ’.
قَالَ: يَا مُفَضَّلُ تَقُولُ الْعَامَّةُ إِنَّهَا فِي كُل جَنِينٍ مِنْ أَوْلَادِ النَّاسِ يُقْتَلُ مَظْلُوماً قَالَ الْمُفَضَّلُ: نَعَمْ، يَا مَوْلَايَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ He -asws said: ‘O Mufazzal! The general Muslims are saying it is regarding every unborn from the children of the people killed unjustly’. Al-Mufazzal said, ‘Yes, my Master -asws ! That is what most of them are saying’.
From where is this Verse for them? It is for us -asws in particular in the Book, and it is Mohsin -asws , because he -asws is from us -asws , and Allah –azwj the Exalted Said: ‘ ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives’ [42:23] , and rather it is from the names of the cordiality (Mawaddat).
