Um Ayman had given us some milk, butter, and dates, so we offered it to Rasool Allah -saww . After he -saww ate, he -saww went to a corner of the house and started praying. However, at the end of his -saww last Sujud (postration), Rasool Allah -saww began to cry profusely. Because of our respect and reverence for him -saww , we did not ask him -saww why he -saww was crying. However, Al-Hussain -asws went and sat on his -asws lap and said, “O Father!
When you entered our house (today), we felt a happiness that we had never felt before. But then you started to cry and your crying has grieved us -asws . What made you cry?” The Prophet -saww replied, “O my son! Jabrail -as came to me -saww just now and informed me -saww that you will all be killed and the places of your martyrdom will be far from one another.” Hussain -asws asked, “O Father!
What is the reward for those who come to the Ziyarah of our -asws graves although they are far from one another?” The Prophet -saww replied: “O my son! Verily, there will be some groups from my nation who will come to your -asws Ziyarah seeking blessings. By doing so, they will deserve to be visited by me -saww on the Day of Judgment. I will save them from the terrors of the Hour (Day of Judgement) and from their sins.
Verily, Allah -zawj will Make them dwell in Paradise.”’ [6] The Dust of Karbala: Abu Abd Allah -asws said that once, when Imam Hussain -asws Ibn ‘Ali -asws was with the Messenger of Allah -saww , Jabrail -as came to him -saww and told the Prophet that his nation will kill the Imam -asws , so Rasool Allah -saww was extremely grieved. Jabrail -as then gave some dust from Karbala to Rasool Allah -saww . Rasool Allah -saww (while holding the dust of Karbala in his -saww hand) said to it, ‘O dust!
You are blissful, and blissful is he -asws who will be killed on you!’ [7] The narrator of the Hadith says: ‘Rasool Allah -saww used to say, “Our Allah -zawj ! Abandon those who abandon Husain -asws , kill those who kill him -asws , slaughter those who slaughter him -asws , and do not fulfill their requests.”’ The narrator said that the cursed Yazid -la was soon taken (by Allah -zawj for punishment) and he did not enjoy any pleasure after killing Hussain -asws . He died suddenly with a crisis.
He spent the night while he was drunk and he was found dead and deformed in the morning as if he was coated with tar.
