about His Martyrdom11 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 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 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 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 , 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 will pass (after he will be killed). They will all stand up (for him) while their joints will be shaking (in awe of Ḥusain ) until the Day of Judgment. Every cloud that passes, each (roar of) thunder, and every (strike of) lightning curses the killers of Ḥusain . Every day the soul of Ḥusain is presented to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and they meet one another.
