6 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْقَمَّاطِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) فِي مَنْزِلِ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ فِي حَجْرِهِ إِذْ بَكَى وَ خَرَّ سَاجِداً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا فَاطِمَةُ يَا بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ الْعَلِيَّ الْأَعْلَى تَرَاءَى لِي فِي بَيْتِكَ هَذَا فِي سَاعَتِي هَذِهِ فِي أَحْسَنِ صُورَةٍ وَ أَهْيَإِ هَيْئَةٍ فَقَالَ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَ تُحِبُّ الْحُسَيْنَ قُلْتُ يَا رَبِّ قُرَّةُ عَيْنِي وَ رَيْحَانَتِي وَ ثَمَرَةُ فُؤَادِي وَ جِلْدَةُ مَا بَيْنَ عَيْنَيَّ فَقَالَ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) بُورِكَ مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ عَلَيْهِ بَرَكَاتِي وَ صَلَوَاتِي وَ رَحْمَتِي وَ رِضْوَانِي وَ نَقِمَتِي وَ لَعْنَتِي وَ سَخَطِي وَ عَذَابِي وَ خِزْيِي وَ نَكَالِي عَلَى مَنْ قَتَلَهُ وَ نَاصَبَهُ وَ نَاوَاهُ وَ نَازَعَهُ أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيِّدُ الشُّهَدَاءِ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ سَيِّدُ شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ أَبُوهُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ وَ خَيْرٌ فَأَقْرِئْهُ السَّلَامَ وَ بَشِّرْهُ بِأَنَّهُ رَايَةُ الْهُدَى وَ مَنَارُ أَوْلِيَائِي وَ حَفِيظِي وَ شَهِيدِي عَلَى خَلْقِي وَ خَازِنُ عِلْمِي- وَ حُجَّتِي عَلَى أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ أَهْلِ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ الثَّقَلَيْنِ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ

6. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Muḥammad ibn Sinān, from Abī Sa’īd Al-Qammāť, from Ibn Abī Ya’fūr, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq ) said: One day when the Messenger of Allāh was in the house of Fāťimah , Ḥusain was sitting on his lap. Suddenly the Prophet started to cry and fell in Sujūd. (After raising his head) he said: O Fāťimah, daughter of Muḥammad! (Allāh) the Most High, the Most Exalted just appeared to me in your house in the most beautiful form and appearance and asked me, “O Muḥammad! Do you love Ḥusain ?” I replied, “He is the light of my eyes, the fruit of my heart, my flower (in this life), and the skin between my two eyes.” Allāh said: O Muḥammad! – and He placed His hand on the head of Ḥusain – Blessed is this newborn baby upon whom I have sent My prosperity, blessings, mercy, and pleasure. And My blame, curse, wrath, chastisement, disgrace, and punishment are upon those who antagonize him, fight him, incite (the people) against him, and kill him. Verily he is the Master of Martyrs from the first to the last in this life and in the Hereafter. Verily he is the Master of the Youth of Paradise from among all of the creation and his father is more graceful and higher (in rank) than he is. (O Muḥammad!) Convey My Salām to him and give him glad tidings that he is the flag of My guidance, the lighthouse for My friends, My trustee and witness over My creation, the keeper of My knowledge, and My Decisive Proof on the inhabitants of the heavens and the earths, and on all of mankind and Jinn.
