Mourning of Imam Husain (a.s) Hadith: 26

Tradition 26 Through my successive chain of authorities reaching Shaikhut Taifa (Toosi), who through his chain of narrators relates from Zainab binte Jahash, the wife of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s), that she says: One day the Prophet (s.a.w.s) was sleeping in my house when Imam Husain (a.s) entered there‌in. I tried to keep him busy so that he would not wake up the Prophet from his sleep. Then I became engrossed in some work and Husain entered the room wherein the Prophet was sleeping. I followed him and saw that he was lying on top of the Holy Prophet and urinated on his stomach. I tried to lift him up, but the Prophet said, "O Zainab! Leave him alone until he finishes." When he finished, the Prophet arose and purified himself and started recit‌ing the Prayers (Salat). As soon as he went into prostration (Sajdah) Husain sat on his back. The Prophet remained in prostration until Husain himself got off from his back. Then when he arose Husain returned and the Prophet lifted him [1] Surah al Maryam: 54.

up. When he finished his Prayers he stretched his hands forward and said, "Come near, come near O Jibra'eel." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Today I found you doing something which you have never done before." To which the Prophet replied, "Yes, Jibra'eel came to offer condolences and told me that my people would kill my Husain, and he brought alongwith him red sand for me."
