Chapter: Jabra`ǐl Shows the Land on Which Ĥusain (a.s.) Will Be Killed to the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) 2 وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رح٠ه الله) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ ٠َّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَ٠ِيدِ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ أَبِي جَ٠ُفَضَّلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَا٠َةَ زَيْدٍ الشَّحَّا٠ِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ نَعَى جَبْرَئِيلُ (ع) الْحُسَيْنَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) فِي بَيْتِ أُ٠َةَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْحُسَيْنُ (ع) وَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا تَقْتُلُهُ أُ٠َّتُكَ- فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) أَرِنِي ٠ِنَ التُّرْبَةِ الَّتِي يُسْفَكُ فِيهَا دَ٠ُهُ فَتَنَاوَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (ع) قَبْضَةً ٠ِنْ تِلْكَ التُّرْبَةِ فَإِذَا هِيَ تُرْبَةٌ حَ٠2.

My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdil Ḥamīd Al-‘Aťťār, from Abī Jamīlah Mufaďďal ibn Sāliḥ, from Abī Usāmah Zayd Al-Shaḥḥām, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Jabra`īl announced the news of the killing of Ḥusain (a.s.) to the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) in the house of Um Salamah. While Jabra`īl was with the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.), Ḥusain (a.s.) entered.

Jabra`īl said to the Prophet (s.a.a.w.), “Verily your nation will kill him.” The Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) said, “Show me the dust on which his blood will be shed.” Jabra`īl took a handful of that dust and it was a red-coloured dust.
