As soon as they invite me, they will take out the blood clot in m e.” He made many such explicit and implicit statements in Medina, in Mecca, and on the way to Kufa, statements that you will read in this book in their entirety. They all testify that he (‘a.s), was fully aware of his being killed on the day with which he was familiar and in the land of Karbala’. So, can anyone doubt this fact if he reads his sermon in Mecca when he wanted to travel from there to Iraq?

In that sermon, he said, “ I can see my limbs being cut to pieces by wild beasts in an area between al-Nawawees and Karbala’, so they will fill with my body empty stomachs and starved pouches; there is no way to avert an event already decreed .” All these answers to those who asked al-Husain (‘a.s) to wait or to go somewhere else prove that the Master of Martyrs was knowledgeable of what was going to happen to him, and that he knew the intentions of the people of Kufa.

But, it is a divine mystery that concerned only him, and so that his cries for help and support on the Day of Taff , before and after the war, would be an argument against that unlucky multitude of people. Yet he did not inform each and every person who objected to his march to Kufa of all what he knew due to his knowledge that the facts were not to be revealed just to anyone. People vary in their capacity to absorb, and their goals vary, too.

It is for this reason that the Imam (‘a.s) responded to each person according to his level of absorption, to his conditions, and to what his knowledge and mentality could bear. The knowledge of (‘a.s) is laborious and inaccessible; it cannot be tolerated except by a messenger prophet, an angel near to Allah, or a believer whose heart Allah tested with conviction.
