1 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) تَعَالَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ خَارِجَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ (ع) أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (ص) وَ الْحُسَيْنُ (ع) يَلْعَبُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أُمَّتَهُ سَتَقْتُلُهُ قَالَ فَجَزِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) فَقَالَ أَ لَا أُرِيكَ التُّرْبَةَ الَّتِي يُقْتَلُ فِيهَا قَالَ فَخَسَفَ مَا بَيْنَ مَجْلِسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي قُتِلَ فِيهِ الْحُسَيْنُ (ع) حَتَّى الْتَقَتَا الْقِطْعَتَانِ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهَا وَ دُحِيَتْ فِي أَسْرَعَ مِنْ طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ فَخَرَجَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ طُوبَى لَكِ مِنْ تُرْبَةٍ وَ طُوبَى لِمَنْ يُقْتَلُ حَوْلَكِ قَالَ وَ كَذَلِكَ صَنَعَ صَاحِبُ سُلَيْمَانَ تَكَلَّمَ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ فَخُسِفَ مَا بَيْنَ سَرِيرِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَ بَيْنَ الْعَرْشِ مِنْ سُهُولَةِ الْأَرْضِ وَ حُزُونَتِهَا- حَتَّى الْتَقَتِ الْقِطْعَتَانِ فاجْتَرَّ الْعَرْشَ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ يُخَيَّلَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مِنْ تَحْتِ سَرِيرِي- قَالَ وَ دُحِيَتْ فِي أَسْرَعَ مِنْ طَرْفَةِ الْعَيْنِ


1. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Abī Khalaf, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Ḥusain ibn Sa’īd, from Naďr ibn Suwayd, from Yaḥyā Al-Ḥalabi, from Hārūn ibn Khārijah, from Abī Basīr, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s)) said: (One day) Jabra`īl came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ while Ḥusain (a.s) was playing in front of him. Jabra`īl informed him that his nation would kill Ḥusain (a.s), so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ became restless. Jabra`īl said, “Should I not show you the land on which he will be killed?” Then the land (between Karbalā and Madīnah) sunk within the ground and the place where the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was sitting (in Madīnah) and the land on which Ḥusain (a.s) was killed became attached to one another. Then Jabra`īl took some of the dust (of Karbalā). Thereafter, the earth returned to the way it (originally) was in less than a blink of an eye. The Prophet ﷺ left while saying, “Bliss for you, O dust! And bliss for those who will be killed on you!” Imam (a.s) continued: The companion of Sulaymān (a.s) (Āsaf ibn Barkhiyā) also did the same thing. He mentioned the Great Name of Allāh and the earth between Sulaymān’s bed and the throne (of Bilqīs) sank within the ground. The earth and all of its flexible and inflexible parts sank within the ground, and Āsif lifted the throne (of Bilqīs) before the two pieces of land were attached. So Sulaymān (a.s) said, “It looks like it (the throne of Bilqīs) came out from under my bed.” Imam (a.s) added: Thereafter, the earth returned to the way it (originally) was in less than a blink of an eye.
