Rasool Allah -saww said to Imam Hussain -asws ...

Rasool Allah -saww said to Imam Hussain -asws , “Allah -zawj ‘s Curse be upon those who (will) kill you. Allah -zawj ‘s Curse be upon those who (will) loot you. May Allah -zawj Destroy those who (will) help one another against you -asws . May Allah -zawj Judge between me and those who (will) support others against you -asws .” Syeda -asws asked, “O father -saww ! What are you -saww saying?\u201d \n \u2018The Prophet -saww replied: \u201cO My -saww daughter -asws !

I -saww remembered the tragedies that will befall him -asws after me -saww and you -asws , and how he -asws will be hurt, oppressed, betrayed, and violated. When this happens, he -asws will be accompanied by a group (of people) who are like the stars of the sky, and (they) will be led toward death. It is as if I can see their camp, the place where they will dismount from their sumpters, and the dust (of Karbala).\u201d Syeda Fatimah -asws asked, “O father -saww !

Where is this place you -saww are describing?” \n \u2018The Prophet -saww replied: \u201cIt is a land called Karbala. It is the land of \u2018KARB\u2019 (agony) and \u2018BALA\u2019 (affliction) for us -asws and for the nation. The most evil ones from my nation will rise against them -asws (Hussain and his companions).

Even if all of the inhabitants of the Heavens and the earths intercede for one of those who rise against Hussain -asws , their intercession will not be accepted, and they will abide in Hell eternally.\u201d Syeda -asws asked, “O father -saww ! So he (Hussain -asws ) will be killed?” The Prophet -saww replied: \u201cYes, O my daughter -asws . (Verily) a group of people who love us -asws will go to him -asws (his Ziyarah). (Verily) no one is more committed to our -asws rights than they are.

(Verily) no one on earth other than them will pay attention to Hussain -asws . (Verily) they are those who will join me -saww by my Pool tomorrow (on the Day of Judgement). I -saww will recognise them by their marks when I see them (on the Day of Judgement).

(On that day) the followers of every religion will look for their leaders and they (those who go to the Ziyarah of Hussain -asws ) will look for no one other than us -asws .\u201d\u2019 [14] \n Abu Ja’far (Imam Baqir -asws ) said: \u2018The Rasool AlIah -saww would draw Hussain -asws to himself -saww whenever Imam Hussain -asws would enter and would cry. So (once) Hussain -asws asked, “O father -saww !
