1 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازُ الْقُرَشِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي خَالِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَيَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ السَّبُعِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجَدَلِيِّ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ (ع) إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى كَتِفِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا يُقْتَلُ وَ لَا يَنْصُرُهُ أَحَدٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ تِلْكَ لَحَيَاةُ سَوْءٍ قَالَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَكَائِنٌ وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ

1. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz Al-Qurashi narrated to me from his uncle Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from ‘Ali ibn Nu’mān, from ‘Abdil Raḥmān ibn Sayābah, from Abī Dāwūd Al-Sabī’i, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Jadali, who said: I went to the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) (one day) and found Ḥusain (a.s.) (sitting) beside him. He tapped the shoulder of Ḥusain (a.s.) and said, “He will be killed and no one will help him.” “O Commander of the Believers! I swear to Allāh that life would become miserable (if that happened),” I said. “Verily it will happen,” the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) replied. The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: My father, from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari, and Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā Al-‘Aťťār, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain (ibn Abil Khaťťāb), from ‘Ali ibn Nu’mān, from ‘Abdil Raḥmān ibn Sayābah, from Abī Dāwūd Al-Sabī’i, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Jadali, from the Commander of the Believers (a.s.).

2. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz narrated to me from his uncle Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Nasr ibn Muzāḥim, from ‘Amr ibn Sa’īd, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥammād, from ‘Amr ibn Shimr, from Jābir (Al-Ju’fi), who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: ‘Ali, (the Commander of the Believers (a.s.)), said to Ḥusain (a.s.), “O Abā ‘Abdillāh! It has been previously established that you will be the (leading) example.” “May I sacrifice myself for you. What is my status?” Ḥusain (a.s.) asked. “You have the knowledge of that which others do not, and those who are knowledgeable shall benefit from their knowledge,” the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) replied. Then the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) continued: O my son! Listen and envision this before it happens to you. I swear to He who has my life in His Hand, that the Banī Umayyah will spill your blood but they will not be able to deviate you from your religion nor will they be able to make you forget extolling your Lord. Ḥusain (a.s.) replied, “I swear to He who has my life in His Hand that this is sufficient for me. I submit to that which Allāh has revealed, I believe the words of the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.), and I do not belie the words of my father.” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: My father, and a group (of my scholars), from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, and from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Nasr ibn Muzāḥim, from ‘Amr ibn Sa’īd, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥammād, from ‘Amr ibn Shimr, from Jābir (Al-Ju’fi), from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.).

My father and ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain both narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn Abil Sahbān, from ‘Abdil Raḥmān ibn Abī Najrān, from ‘Āasim ibn Ḥumayd, from Fuďayl Al-Rassān, from Abī Sa’īd ‘Aqīsā, who said: (One day) ‘Abdullāh ibn Zubayr met with Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) alone and spoke with him privately for a long time. Thereafter, Ḥusain (a.s.) came out to the people and said: He (‘Abdullāh ibn Zubayr) is telling me to be like one of the pigeons of the Ḥaram (Masjidul Ḥarām). Verily I would love more to be killed while I am as far as the span of two outstretched arms from the Ḥaram than to be killed while I am as close as the span of an outstretched palm from the Ḥaram. Verily I would love to be killed in Ťaf more than to be killed in the Ḥaram.

5 وَ عَنْهُمَا عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ لِلْحُسَيْنِ (ع) وَ لَوْ جِئْتَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَكُنْتَ بِالْحَرَمِ فَقَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ (ع) لَا نَسْتَحِلُّهَا وَ لَا تُسْتَحَلُّ بِنَا وَ لَأَنْ أُقْتَلَ عَلَى تَلِّ أَعْفَرَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُقْتَلَ بِهَا

5. My father and ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain (ibn Bābawayh) both narrated to me from Sa’d (ibn ‘Abdillāh), from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Safwān ibn Yaḥyā, from Dāwūd ibn Farqad, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: ‘Abdullāh ibn Zubayr told Ḥusain (a.s.) to come to Makkah and (seek refuge) in the Ḥaram but Ḥusain (a.s.) said, “We will not breach its sanctity (by remaining in the Ḥaram) and we will not allow its sanctity to be breached (by) being killed in it. Verily I prefer to be killed on a mound with red dust than being killed in the Ḥaram.”

6 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ إِنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) خَرَجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ قَبْلَ التَّرْوِيَةِ بِيَوْمٍ 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 مِنْ 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.”

7 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) أَنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ (ع) قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ يَوْمَ أُصِيبُوا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أُذِنَ فِي قَتْلِكُمْ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ اصْبِرُوا حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازُ عَنْ خَالِهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ مِثْلَهُ

7. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from ‘Ali ibn Ismā’īl ibn ‘Isā, from Safwān ibn Yaḥyā, from Ḥusain ibn Abil ‘Alā, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) said to his companions on the day on which they were assaulted, “I testify that permission has been granted for you to be killed, so fear Allāh and remain patient.” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz, from his uncle Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from ‘Ali ibn Nu’mān, from Ḥusain ibn Abil ‘Alā, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.).

8 وَ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ الْغَدَاةَ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ- إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَذِنَ فِي قَتْلِكُمْ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالصَّبْرِ

8. Ḥasan ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā narrated to me from his father, from Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb, from ‘Ali ibn Ri`āb, from Al-Ḥalabi, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: Ḥusain (a.s.) led the Fajr prayer (on the Day of ‘Āshūrā) for his companions and then turned back toward them and said, “Verily Allāh has granted permission for you to be killed, so remain patient.”

9 حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ قَالَ وَ الَّذِي رُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ الْعَرْشُ لَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُوكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْحُسَيْنِ لَا يَنْقُصُونَ رَجُلًا وَ لَا يَزِيدُونَ رَجُلًا تَعْتَدِي بِهِمْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ كَمَا اعْتَدَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ وَ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ

This nation will assault the companions of Ḥusain (a.s.) just like the Banī Israel transgressed (the limits) on the Sabbath (the day of Saturday). The Day of ‘Āshūrā when Ḥusain (a.s.) was killed was (also) a Saturday.

10 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) وَ جَمَاعَةُ مَشَايِخِي عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ إِنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ (ص) صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ يَوْمَ أُصِيبُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أُذِنَ فِي قَتْلِكُمْ يَا قَوْمِ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ اصْبِرُوا

I testify that permission has been granted for you to be killed, so fear Allāh and remain patient.”

11 حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ النَّاقِدُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَ هُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَدْ أَخْرَجَهُ عُثْمَانُ إِلَى الرَّبَذَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّاسُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَبْشِرْ فَهَذَا قَلِيلٌ فِي اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَقَالَ مَا أَيْسَرَ هَذَا وَ لَكِنْ كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (ع) قَتْلًا أَوْ قَالَ ذُبِحَ ذَبْحاً وَ اللَّهِ لَا يَكُونُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ بَعْدَ قَتْلِ الْخَلِيفَةِ أَعْظَمُ قَتْلًا مِنْهُ [بَعْدَ قَتْلِ الْحُسَيْنِ أَعْظَمُ قَتِيلًا مِنْهُ]- وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيَسُلُّ سَيْفَهُ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ لَا يَغْمِدُهُ أَبَداً وَ يَبْعَثُ نَاقِماً [قَائِماً] مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ فَيَنْتَقِمُ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ إِنَّكُمْ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبِحَارِ وَ سُكَّانِ الْجِبَالِ فِي الْغِيَاضِ وَ الْآكَامِ وَ أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ قَتْلِهِ لَبَكَيْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ حَتَّى تَزْهَقَ أَنْفُسُكُمْ وَ مَا مِنْ سَمَاءٍ يَمُرُّ بِهِ رُوحُ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) إِلَّا فَزِعَ لَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَقُومُونَ قِيَامَا تُرْعِدُ مَفَاصِلُهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ مَا مِنْ سَحَابَةٍ تَمُرُّ وَ تُرْعِدُ وَ تُبْرِقُ إِلَّا لَعَنَتْ قَاتِلَهُ وَ مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ إِلَّا وَ تُعْرَضُ رُوحُهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) فَيَلْتَقِيَانِ

11. Abul Ḥusain Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Ali Al-Nāqid narrated to me from ‘Abdil Raḥmān Al-Aslami, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ḥusain, from ‘Urwah ibn Zubayr, who said: On the day when ‘Uthmān expelled Abā Dhar to Rabadhah, people said to him, “O Abā Dhar! Rejoice, for verily this (suffering) is little in the way of Allāh, the Exalted.” Abū Dhar replied: How insignificant this (suffering) is (in the way of Allāh)! But how will you feel when Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) is killed – or he said slaughtered – in such a terrible way?! I swear to Allāh that no killing will be greater than the killing of Ḥusain (a.s.) in (the history of) Islam. Verily Allāh will unsheathe His sword against this nation and He will never sheathe it again. Verily Allāh will send an avenger from the progeny of Ḥusain (a.s.) who will seek revenge against the people. I swear to Allāh that If you knew about (the grief) which will overcome the inhabitants of the seas, the mountains, the hills, the trees, and the heavens as a result of the killing of Ḥusain (a.s.), you would cry so (intensely) that your soul would leave (your bodies). Seventy thousand angels will be alarmed in every sky through which the soul of Ḥusain (a.s.) will pass (after he will be killed). They will all stand up (for him) while their joints will be shaking (in awe of Ḥusain (a.s.)) until the Day of Judgment. Every cloud that passes, each (roar of) thunder, and every (strike of) lightning curses the killers of Ḥusain (a.s.). Every day the soul of Ḥusain (a.s.) is presented to the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) and they meet one another.

12. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdil Jabbār, from ‘Abdil Raḥmān ibn Abī Najrān, from Ja’far ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥukaym, from ‘Abd Al-Samīn, who narrated that: (One day) while the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) was delivering a sermon to the people he said, “Ask me before you lose me! I swear to Allāh that I will answer (your questions about) anything you might ask that has happened in the past or will happen in the future.” So Sa’d ibn Abī Waqqās got up and asked, “O Commander of the Believers! Tell me about the number of hairs that I have on my head and in my beard?” The Commander of the Believers (a.s.) replied, “I swear to Allāh that my love, the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.), informed me that you would be asking me this question. There is a Shayťān rooted in every strand of hair on your head and in your beard and there is a baby sheep in your house who will kill my son, Ḥusain (a.s.).” (‘Abd Al-Samīn/Asbagh added), “’Umar ibn Sa’d (the killer of Imam Ḥusain (a.s.)) was a child then and he was playing in front of his father (Sa’d ibn Abī Waqqās).”

Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā Al-Khath’ami, from Ťalḥah ibn Zayd, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)), from his father (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)), from his grandfather (Imam Sajjād (a.s.)), who said: Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) said: I swear to He who has the life of Ḥusain in His Hand, that the Banī Umayyah will kill me and they will not be satisfied with their government until they kill me. Verily if they kill me, the people will never be able to pray in congregation nor will they ever be able to spend ZAKĀT (charity) in the way of Allāh again. Verily my family and I are the first ones killed by this nation. I swear to He who has the life of Ḥusain in His Hand that the Day of Judgment will not come as long as there is even one man from the Banī Hāshim who is enjoying his life.
