[Machine] "Al-Husayn was killed on the day of Ashura, on Friday."
Hakim said, "We will explain this news in the Book of the Killing of Al-Husayn, and it is sufficient for those who hear it."
Hakim said, "This is the last that has been reached through diligence concerning mentioning the virtues of the family of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with authentic chains of narration that have not been compiled by the two esteemed Imams (Bukhari and Muslim). I have dictated what my diligence has led to regarding the virtues of the four caliphs and the family of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, authenticated by chains of narration. Then I saw that it was better to organize this book chronologically after them for all the companions, from the beginning of Islam to the last one who died among them, and Allah is the one who aids in that with His mercy."
«قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ»
قَالَ الْحَاكِمُ «هَذِهِ الْأَخْبَارُ نَشْرَحُهَا فِي كِتَابِ مَقْتَلِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَفِيهِ كِفَايَةٌ لِمَنْ سَمِعَهُ»
قَالَ الْحَاكِمُ «هَذَا آخِرُ مَا أَدَّى إِلَيْهِ الِاجْتِهَادُ مِنْ ذِكْرِ مَنَاقِبِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْأَسَانِيدِ الصَّحِيحَةِ مِمَّا لَمْ يُخَرَّجْهُ الشَّيْخَانِ الْإِمَامَانِ وَقَدْ أَمْلَيْتُ مَا أَدَّى إِلَيْهِ اجْتَهَادِي مِنْ فَضَائِلِ الْخُلَفَاءِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا يَصِحُّ مِنْهَا بِالْأَسَانِيدِ ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ الْأَوْلَى لِنَظْمِ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ التَّرْتِيبُ بَعْدَهُمْ عَلَى التَّوَارِيخِ لِلصَّحَابَةِ أَجْمَعِينَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَى آخِرِ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْهُمْ وَاللَّهُ الْمُعِينُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ بِرَحْمَتِهِ»
