By Allah that he will be in the Paradise...

By Allah that he will be in the Paradise, along with his friends and the friends of his friends.’ He then continued, ‘Hasan and Husayn are the best people on the earth, after their father and I, and their mother is the best woman in the world.’”[^10] (S) said, “Hasan and Husayn are my two flowers on the earth.”[^11] The Prophet (S) stated, “Hasan and Husayn are masters of the youth of the Paradise and their father is more virtuous than them.”[^12] Worship Imam Husayn (a.s.) was asked, “Why do you fear Allah so much?” Imam Husayn (a.s.) answered, “No one is safe from hardships of the Hereafter except that he fears Allah in this world.”[^13] Abdullah Ibn ‘Ubayd says, “Imam Husayn (a.s.) went to Hajj pilgrimage on foot twenty times, while he had a horse to ride.”[^14] Imam Sajjad (a.s.) was asked, “Why are your father’s children so few?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “I am even wondered of my birth; my father performed a thousand rak’ahs of prayer a day.”[^15] It is narrated that Hasan (a.s.) and Husayn (a.s.) were going to Hajj pilgrimage on foot.

Everyone who passed them on horseback landed and continued the way on foot. Walking was difficult for some of the pilgrims. They told Sa’d Ibn Abi Waqqas, “Walking is hard for us, but we cannot ride while these two honorable persons walk.” Sa’d Ibn Abi Waqqas related their speech to Imam Hasan (a.s.) and added, “I wish you rode your horses for the comfort of these weak pilgrims.” Imam Husayn (a.s.) said, “We do not ride, since we are obliged to walk to Hajj pilgrimage.

However, we run away from this path for the sake of other pilgrims.” Then Imam Hasan (a.s.) and Imam Husayn (a.s.) did so.[^16] Almsgiving Imam Husayn (a.s.) went to visit Usamat Ibn Ziyad who was sick and told Imam Husayn (a.s.), “Woe! I am sad!” Imam Husayn (a.s.) told him, “Why are you sad my brother?” Usamah said, “O son of Messenger of Allah (S)! I am in debt to the tune of sixty thousand dirhams. I am fearful of dying with this debt.” Imam Husayn (a.s.) said, “Do not be sad!

I will pay your debt before your demise.” And he did so.[^17] Shu’ayb Ibn Abdur Rahman says, “After Imam Husayn (a.s.) was martyred, a mark was seen on his holy shoulder.
