116, h 4 Muhammad ibnyh has narrated from Ali ibn 'Isma'il from Muhammad ibn 'Amr al-Zayyat from a man from our people from abu 'Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following. "Once Jibril came to Muhammad (s.a) and said tohim, "O Muhammad, Allah gives you the glad news of the birth of a son from Fatima. Your 'Umma (followers0 will kill this child after you will die." He said, "O Jibril peace is from my Lord.

I do not need a child from Fatima who will be killed by my 'Umma after I will die." Jibril ascended and then descended back and said to him the same thing. He said, "O Jibril peace is from my Lord.

I do not need a child who will be killed by my 'Umma after I will die." Jibril ascended to the heavens and then descended back and said, "O Muhammad (s.a), your Lord sends you greetings and gives you the glad news of His placing Imamat (Leadership with Divine Authority), the guardianship and the executor-ship of the will in the descendants of this child." Then he said, "I agree and accept the deal." He then sent the message of the glad news of the birth of a child from her who will be killed by his 'Umma.

She returned the answer that she would not need a child who will be killed by your 'Umma after you will die. He then sent the message to her that Allah will place Imamat (Leadership with Divine Authority), Guardian-ship and the executorship of the will in the descendants of this child. She then sent back with the answer that she has agreed to the deal. ". . . his mother bore him with hardship and delivered him while suffering a great deal of pain.

The period in which his mother bore and weaned him lasted for thirty months. When he grew-up to manhood and became forty years old, he then said, "Lord, inspire me to give You thanks for the bounties you have granted to me and my parents, and to act righteously to please You. Lord, make (people of) my offspring virtuous.. . ." (46:15). The Imam (a.s.) said, "Had he not said, '. . . Lord, make (people of) my offspring virtuous. . .

´(46:15) all of his offspring would have been Imams." Al-Husayn (a.s.) did not have any milk from Fatima (a.s.) nor from other females. They would bring him to the Holy Prophet (s.a) and he would place his thumb in his mouth and he would suck from it that much that would suffice him for three days. The flesh of al-Husayn (a.s.) grew from that of the Holy Prophet (s. a) and his blood from his blood.
