Mourning of Imam Husain (a.s) Hadith: 30

Tradition 30

Through my successive chain of authorities reaching Shaikh Mufeed, who relates in his Irshadthat, one day the Holy Prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.s) was seated and Imam Ali (a.s), Hazrat Fatemah (a.s), Imam Hasan (a.s), and Imam Husain (a.s) were sitting around him. The Prophet addressed them and said,

"What will be your state when all of you will be killed and your graves will lie scattered"?

Imam Husain (a.s) said,

"Will we die a natural death or will we be martyred"?

The Prophet replied,

"O my dear son! You will be killed with oppression and cruelty, and your brother (Hasan) too will be killed with tyranny and cruelty, and your offspring will be scat‌tered over the land."

Husain asked,

"Who will kill us, O Prophet of Allah"?

He replied,

"The worst among men",

then Imam Husain inquired,

"Then will anyone come to visit us (our graves) after our death"?

The Prophet an‌swered,

"Yes my dear son! A group of people from among my community will come to visit your graves seeking my pleasure. Then on the day of Qiyamah, near the station of accounting, I will go to them and catching hold of their hands will save them from it's terrors and sorrows."
