Mourning of Imam Husain (a.s) Hadith: 1

Tradition 5

Through successive chain of narrators, Shaikh Abul Qasim Ja'far bin Qawla‌wayh Qummi, through his chain of authorities, relates from Abdullah bin Bakr, who narrates in the contents of a lenghty tradition that, I performed the Haj Pilgrimage alongwith Imam Ja'far as Sadiq (a.s) and then said, "O Son of the Prophet of Allah! If the grave of Imam Husain bin Ali (a.s) is exhumed what will be found therein"? Imam replied,

"O son of Bakr! What a great question you have asked. Verily Imam Husain bin Ali (a.s), together with his father, mother and brother is in the presence of the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.s). And he eats (of the bounties) with all of them, and is on the right side of the Empyrean (Arsh) and is bonded with them and says: O Allah, fulfill what You had promised me. Then he looks at the pilgrims who have come to his grave with their names and the names of their fathers, and he knows what they have brought in their luggage more better than they know their sons. And he looks at those who weeps over his afflictions and prays to Allah for their contentment and self-sufficiency. Then he says: O one who weeps over me! If you are informed about the rewards and bounties which Allah has reserved for you (because of your mourning), then you would be more delighted than the grief. Then he seeks pardon for all their sins and faults."
