Fear Allah -azwj , O Abu Abdul Rahman, and do not leave helping me -asws !
Fear Allah -azwj , O Abu Abdul Rahman, and do not leave helping me -asws !’’ ثم قَالَ الْمُفِيدُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ الْفَرَزْدَقِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ حَجَجْتُ بِأُمِّي فِي سَنَةِ سِتِّينَ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَسُوقُ بَعِيرَهَا حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ الْحَرَمَ إِذْ لَقِيتُ الْحُسَيْنَ ع خَارِجاً مِنْ مَكَّةَ مَعَهُ أَسْيَافُهُ وَ تُرَاسُهُ فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقِطَارُ فَقِيلَ لِلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع Then Al-Mufeed, may Allah -azwj have Mercy on him, said, ‘And it is reported from Al-Farazdaq having said, ‘I went to Hajj with my mother during the year sixty.
I was ushering her camel until I entered the Harram (Sanctuary), when I met Al-Hussain -asws going out from Makkah. With him -asws were his -asws swords and his -asws shields. I said, ‘For whom is this line (of camels)?’ It was said, ‘For Al-Hussain -asws Bin Ali -asws ’.
فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ سُؤْلَكَ وَ أَمَلَكَ فِيمَا تُحِبُّ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَا أَعْجَلَكَ عَنِ الْحَجِّ I went to him -asws and greeted unto him -asws and said to him -asws , ‘May Allah -azwj Grant you -asws your -asws request and your -asws hopes in what you -asws live. May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for you -asws , O son -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww !
What is your -asws haste (going) away from the Hajj ?’ قَالَ لَوْ لَمْ أُعَجِّلْ لَأُخِذْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي مَنْ أَنْتَ قُلْتُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ وَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا فَتَّشَنِي عَنْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ He -asws said: ‘If I -asws don’t make haste, I -asws will be seized (killed here)’. Then he -asws said to me: ‘Who are you?’ I said, ‘A man from the Arabs’, and no, by Allah -azwj he -asws did not inquire any more than that .
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ النَّاسِ خَلْفَكَ فَقُلْتُ الْخَبِيرَ سَأَلْتَ قُلُوبُ النَّاسِ مَعَكَ وَ أَسْيَافُهُمْ عَلَيْكَ وَ الْقَضَاءُ يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ اللَّهُ يَفْعَلُ ما يَشاءُ Then he -asws said to me: ‘Inform me -asws about the people behind you’. I said, ‘You -asws have asked the informed one. The hearts of the people are with you -asws but their swords are against you -asws , and the Decree will descend from the sky, and Allah -azwj Does whatever He -azwj so Desires’.
