وَ رَوَى جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الثِّقَاتِ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا أَمَرَ...
وَ رَوَى جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الثِّقَاتِ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا أَمَرَ الْمُتَوَكِّلُ بِحَرْثِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ أَنْ يُجْرَى الْمَاءُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعَلْقَمِيِّ أَتَى زَيْدٌ الْمَجْنُونُ وَ بُهْلُولٌ الْمَجْنُونُ إِلَى كَرْبَلَاءَ فَنَظَرَا إِلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ إِذَا هُوَ مُعَلَّقٌ بِالْقُدْرَةِ فِي الْهَوَاءِ And it is reported by a group from the trusted ones, ‘When Al-Mutawakkil-la ordered farming upon the grave of Al-Husayn-asws and flowed the water upon it from (river) Al-qamah, Zayd ‘the insane’ and Bahlool ‘the insane’ came to Karbala.
They looked at the grave, and there, it was suspended in the air by the Power. فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِؤُا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْواهِهِمْ- وَ يَأْبَى اللَّهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْكافِرُونَ Zayd said, ‘They are intending to extinguish the Light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah Refused except that He would Complete His Light, and even though the Kafirs dislike it [9:32].’ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْحَرَّاثَ حَرَثَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً وَ الْقَبْرُ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى حَالِهِ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ الْحَرَّاثُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ حَلَّ الْبَقَرَ فَأُخْبِرَ الْمُتَوَكِّلَ فَأَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِ.
And that is because the farmer had farmed for twenty years and the grave kept returning to its (former) state. When the farmer looked at that, he believed in Allah-azwj, and released the cows and informed Al-Mutawakkil-la. He ordered with killing him.’’ Finally, one may ask, why did Allah-azwj Protect the Kabah when King Abraha attacked it with the elephants and did not Save the Holy Lands from the armies of Yazeed-la and Al-Hajjaj-la?
Well, it’s the ‘Mashiya’ (Wish) and Wisdom of Allah-azwj as sometimes Allah-azwj Gives Respite but, at other occasions, His-azwj Retribution was Harsh and Swift. The era we are living in has a very long respite for the enemies of Allah-azwj, but it will come to an end as the Promise of Allah azwj is True.
