about His Martyrdom14 حَدَّثَنِي جَمَاعَةُ مَشَايِخِي مِنْهُمْ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ شِهَابِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمَّا صَعِدَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (ع) عَقَبَةَ الْبَطْنِ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ مَا أَرَانِي إِلَّا مَقْتُولًا قَالُوا وَ مَا ذَاكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ رُؤْيًا رَأَيْتُهَا فِي الْمَنَامِ قَالُوا وَ مَا هِيَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ كِلَاباً تَنْهَشُنِي أَشَدُّهَا عَلَيَّ كَلْبٌ أَبْقَعُ
14. A group of my scholars including ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan narrated to me from Sa’d (ibn ‘Abdillāh), from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad, Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, and Ibrāhīm ibn Hāshim, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl, from Abī Jamīlah Mufaďďal ibn Sāliḥ, from Shihāb ibn ‘Abd Rabbih, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq ) said: After Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali passed ‘Aqabah Al-Baťn he said to his companions, “I do not foresee anything for myself but being killed.” “Why do you say this, O Abā ‘Abdillāh?” the companions asked. “Because of a dream I had,” Ḥusain replied. “What did you see?” they asked. “I saw (many) dogs biting me and the harshest one on me was a spotted dog,” Ḥusain replied.
