Chapter: Words of the Commander of the Believers and Imam Ĥusain (a.s.) about His Martyrdom 6 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رح٠َّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْ٠َّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَ٠ِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ إِنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) خَرَجَ ٠َكَّةَ قَبْلَ التَّرْوِيَةِ بِيَوْ٠ٍ فَشَيَّعَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ حَضَرَ الْحَجُّ وَ تَدَعُهُ وَ تَأْتِي الْعِرَاقَ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ لَأَنْ أُدْفَنَ بِشَاطِئِ الْفُرَاتِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ ٠ِنْ أَنْ أُدْفَنَ بِفِنَاءِ الْكَعْبَةِ 6. My father and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan (ibn Aḥmad ibn Walīd) both narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad (Al-Ash’ari), from ‘Ali ibn Ḥakam, from his father, from Abil Jārūd, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) said: Ḥusain (a.s.) left Makkah one day before the day of Tarwiyah (Eighth of Dhil Ḥijjah). As he was leaving, ‘Abdullāh ibn Zubayr accompanied him and said, “O Abā ‘Abdillāh! The season of Hajj has come and you are leaving Makkah to go to Iraq?!” Ḥusain (a.s.) replied, “O son of Zubayr! Verily I prefer to be buried by the shore of the Euphrates (River) than to be buried inside the Ka’bah.”
