Is it the Keepers who ask (the angels of Ha’ir) or is it the angels of Ha’ir who ask (the Keepers)?” \n Imam -asws replied, “The angels of Ha’ir ask the Keepers because the angels of Ha’ir do not move from their place.
However, the Keepers descend from the Heavens and ascend back to them.” \n I asked, “What do the angels of Ha’ir ask the Keepers?” \n Imam -asws replied: \n The Keepers pass by lsma’il, the Angel of Air, in their ascent (to the Heavens) and sometimes they reach him at the same time when the Prophet -saww , Syed Fatimah -asws , Hassan -asws and Hussain -asws , and the (other) Imams -asws , who have passed away, are there (with Isma’il).
They (the Ahlul Bayt -asws ) ask the Keepers about some matters and about those of you (Zuwwar) who are present in Ha’ir. \n They (the Ahlul Bayt -asws ) say to the Keepers, “Give them (those who have gone to the Ziyarah of Hussain -asws ) glad tidings with your prayers.” \n The Keepers ask, “How should we give them glad tidings when they cannot hear us?” \n The Ahlul Bayt -asws will reply, “Congratulate them and pray for them on our -asws behalf. Verily, these are our -asws glad tidings to them.
When they want to leave, surround them and rub your wings on them so that they can feel your presence. Verily, we entrust them to He -zawj whose Trust will never be lost.” \n Imam -asws continued: \n If the Zuwwar of Hussain -asws and the people knew the blessings of the Ziyarah of Hussain -asws , they would have fought one another with swords and they would have sold their belongings to go to his -asws Ziyarah .
\n Verily, when Syeda Fatimah -asws who is accompanied by one thousand Prophets, one thousand Siddiq (truthful), one thousand martyrs, and one million from among the KARUBIYYIN 41 who all support her -asws by joining her -asws in crying (over Hussain -asws ) – looks at those who go to the Ziyarah of Hussain -asws , Syeda -asws cires out in such a way that no angel remains in the Heavens who does not cry, sympathising with her cry.
\n However, Syeda -asws is not calmed until the Prophet -saww goes to her -asws and says, “O my -saww daughter -asws ! (please note) the inhabitants of the Heavens are crying and have been distracted from glorifying and sanctifying (Allah -zawj ). Please stop crying so that they can glorify (Allah).
