طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Feed people food and speak kind words."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَطْعِمُوا الطَّعَامَ وَأَطْيِبُوا الْكَلَامَ»  

[Machine] "Lift your garment so that I may kiss the place where I saw the Prophet ﷺ kiss." So, he lifted his shirt and placed his hand on his navel.  

«ارْفَعْ ثَوْبَكَ حَتَّى أُقَبِّلَ حَيْثُ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُ» فَرَفَعَ عَنْ بَطْنِهِ وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى سُرَّتِهِ  

[Machine] "There was nothing but purity between Al-Hasan and Al-Hussein."  

«لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ الْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ إِلَّا طُهْرٌ»  

[Machine] O Abu Abdullah, indeed I saw you in the hands of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, your hands dyed with blood when he brought you after you were born. He was pleased with you and wrapped you in a cloth. And indeed he kissed you and spoke with words that I do not know what they were. And indeed Fatimah preceded him by cutting the umbilical cord of Hasan, so he said, "Do not precede me with it."  

يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ عَلَى يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ خَضَّبْتَهَا دَمًا حِينَ أَتَى بِكَ حِينَ وُلِدْتَ فَسَررَّكَ ولَفَّكَ فِي خِرْقَةٍ وَلَقَدْ تَفَلَ فِي فِيكَ وَتَكَلَّمَ بِكَلَامٍ مَا أَدْرِي مَا هَوَ وَلَقَدْ كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ؓ سَبَقَتْهُ بِقَطْعِ سُرَّةِ الْحَسَنِ ؓ فَقَالَ «لَا تَسْبِقِينِي بِهَا»  

[Machine] "If someone wants to look at the person who is most similar to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in terms of physical appearance, they should look at Al-Hasan ibn Ali. And if someone wants to look at the person who is most similar to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in terms of physical appearance from head to toe, they should look at Al-Hussein ibn Ali."  

أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى أَشْبَهِ النَّاسِ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا بَيْنَ عُنُقِهِ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَمَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى أَشْبَهِ النَّاسِ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا بَيْنَ عُنُقِهِ إِلَى كَعْبِهِ خَلْقًا ولَوْنًا فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ»  

[Machine] "If someone wishes to look at the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from his head to his neck, then they should look at al-Hasan. And if someone wants to look at what is beyond his neck, then they should look at al-Husayn. They both inherited it."  

أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ رَأْسَهِ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى الْحَسَنِ وَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى مَا لَدُنْ عُنُقِهِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ اقْتَسَمَاهُ»  

[Machine] "Al-Hasan resembled the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more than anyone else, as if he was moving gracefully like a deer."  

«كَانَ الْحَسَنُ أَشْبَهَ النَّاسِ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ النَّحْرِ فَصَاعِدًا» فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ  

[Machine] "Among the people closest in resemblance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from head to neck is Al-Hasan."  

«أَشْبَهُ النَّاسِ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا بَيْنَ رَأْسِهِ إِلَى نَحْرِهِ الْحَسَنُ»  

[Machine] "Al-Hasan resembles the Prophet ﷺ the most out of all people, from the head to the neck."  

«الْحَسَنُ أَشْبَهُ النَّاسِ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا بَيْنَ الرَّأْسِ إِلَى النَّحْرِ»  

When al-Hasan was born, I named him Harb [which means war], then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said: ʿShow me my son; what did you name him?ʿ We said: Harb. He said: ʿRather he is Hasan.” When al-Husain was born, I named him Harb, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said: “Show me my son; what did you name him?” We said; Harb. He said: “Rather he is Husain.” When the third one was born, I named him Harb. The Prophet ﷺ came and said: “Show me my son, what did you name him?” I said. Harb. He said: ʿRather, he is Muhassin.ʿ Then he said: ʿI have named them after the fashion of the sons of Haroon, Shabbar and Shabeer and Mushabbir.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 769)   

لَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحَسَنُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَرُونِي ابْنِي مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ؟» فَقُلْتُ حَرْبًا فَقَالَ «بَلْ هُوَ حَسَنٌ» فَلَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحُسَيْنُ سَمَّيْناهُ حَرْبًا فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «ائْتُونِي ابْنِي مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ؟» فَقُلْتُ حَرْبًا فَقَالَ «بَلْ هُوَ حُسَيْنٌ» فَلَمَّا وُلِدَ الثَّالِثُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَرُونِي ابْنِي مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ؟» فَقُلْتُ حَرْبًا فَقَالَ «بَلْ هُوَ مُحَسِّنٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنِّي سَمَّيْتُهُمْ بِأَسْمَاءِ وَلَدِ هَارُونَ شَبَرَ وَشُبَيْرَ وَمُشَبِّرَ»  

When al-Hasan was born, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said: “Show me my son; what did you name him?ʿ I said: I named him Harb [which means ʿwarʿ]. He said: ʿRather he is Hasan.” When al-Husain was born, he said: ʿShow me my son; what did you name him?ʿ I said: I named him Harb, He said: ʿRather he is Husain.” When the third one was born, the Prophet ﷺ said: ʿShow me my son; what did you name him?ʿ I said: Harb, He said: “Rather. he is Muhassin.” Then he said: “I have named them after the fashion of the sons of Haroon, Shabbar and Shabeer and Mushabbir.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 953)   

لَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عنْهُ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَرُونِي ابْنِي مَا سَمَّيْتُمُوهُ؟» قُلْتُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا قَالَ «بَلْ هُوَ حَسَنٌ» فَلَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ؓ جَاءَ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ فَقُلْتُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا فَقَالَ «بَلْ هُوَ حُسَيْنٌ» فَلَمَّا وَلَدَتِ الثَّالِثَ جَاءَ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ فَقُلْتُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا فَقَالَ «بَلْ هُوَ مُحَسِّنٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «سَمَّيْتُهُمْ بِوَلَدِ هَارُونَ شَبَرَ وَشُبَيْرَ وَمُشَبِّرَ»  

[Machine] "To name after my father Harb, when Al-Hasan was born, I named him Harb. Then the Prophet ﷺ came and asked, "What did you name him?" I said, "I named him Harb." He said, "His name is Al-Hasan."  

أَنْ أَكْتَنِيَ بِأَبِي حَرْبٍ فَلَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحَسَنُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا سَمَّيْتُمْ؟» فَقُلْتُ سَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا فَقَالَ «هُوَ الْحَسَنُ»  

[Machine] To the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , I said, "Why did you name him that?" He said, "No, but name him good." Then Al-Hussein was born, so I named him Harb (war). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "What did you name him?" I said, "Harb." He said, "Rather, name him Husayn." Then another child was born, so I named him Harb. He said, "What did you name him?" I said, "Harb." He said, "Name him Muhsin."  

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «بِمَ سَمَّيْتَهُ؟» فَقُلْتُ حَرْبًا فَقَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنْ سَمِّهِ حَسَنًا» ثُمَّ وُلِدَ الْحُسَيْنُ فَسَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا سَمَّيْتَهُ؟» فَقُلْتُ حَرْبًا قَالَ «بَلْ سَمِّهِ حُسَيْنًا» ثُمَّ وُلِدَ آخَرُ فَسَمَّيْتُهُ حَرْبًا فَقَالَ ﷺ «مَا سَمَّيْتَهُ؟» قُلْتُ حَرْبًا قَالَ «سَمِّهِ مُحَسِّنًا»  

[Machine] Ali said, "I used to be a man who loved war. When Hassan was born, I intended to name him Harb (war), but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ named him Hassan. When Hussein was born, I intended to name him Harb, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ named him Hussein. He said, 'I have named my two sons after the names of the sons of Harun, Shabar and Shubayr.'"  

عَلِيٌّ ؓ كُنْتُ رَجُلًا أُحِبُّ الْحَرْبَ فَلَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحَسَنُ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أُسَمِّيَهُ حَرْبًا فَسَمَّاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْحَسَنَ فَلَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحُسَيْنُ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أُسَمِّيَهُ حَرْبًا فَسَمَّاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْحُسَيْنَ وَقَالَ ﷺ «إِنِّي سَمَّيْتُ ابْنَيَّ هَذَيْنِ بِاسْمِ ابْنَيْ هَارُونَ شَبَرَ وَشُبَيْرَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have named them, meaning Hassan and Hussain, with the names of the sons of Haroon, Shabar and Shubeir."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «سَمَّيْتُهُمَا يَعْنِي الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ بِاسْمِ ابْنَيْ هَارُونَ شَبَرَ وَشُبَيْرَ»  

[Machine] "That Husayn ibn Ali used to dye his beard with henna."  

«أَنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ كَانَ يَخْضِبُ بِالْوَسْمَةِ»  

[Machine] That he named his eldest son Hamza and named Husayn Jafar after his uncle, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ named them Hasan and Husayn.  

أَنَّهُ «سَمَّى ابْنَهُ الْأَكْبَرَ حَمْزَةَ وَسَمَّى حُسَيْنًا جَعْفَرًا بِاسْمِ عَمِّهِ فَسَمَّاهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا»  

[Machine] "I saw Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn dyeing their hands with Henna and Katam."  

«رَأَيْتُ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ ؓ يَخْضِبانِ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ»  

[Machine] I saw Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein -may Allah be pleased with them- dyeing themselves with black.  

«رَأَيْتُ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ ؓ يَخْضِبَانِ بِالسَّوَادِ»  

[Machine] Al-Hussein ibn Ali was killed on the day of Ashura in the year sixty-one at the age of fifty-eight. He used to dye his hair with henna and katam.  

«قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ فِي سَنَةِ إِحْدَى وَسِتِّينَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً وَكَانَ يَخْضِبُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ»  

[Machine] "Ali was killed at the age of fifty-two, and Husayn ibn Ali was also killed. Ali ibn Husayn died, and Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Husayn also died."  

«قُتِلَ عَلِيٌّ وَهُوَ ابْنُ اثْنَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ وَلَهَا قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَمَاتَ لَهَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ وَمَاتَ لَهَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ»  

[Machine] I heard Al-Mahdi asking Ja'far, "How old was Ali when he was killed?" He replied, "Fifty-eight, and it was then that Husayn ibn Ali was also killed."  

سَمِعْتُ الْمَهْدِيَّ سَأَلَ جَعْفَرًا كَمْ كَانَ لِعَلِيٍّ حِينَ قُتِلَ؟ قَالَ «ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسُونَ وَلَهَا قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ»  

[Machine] "I saw Hussein bin Ali dyeing himself with black."  

«رَأَيْتُ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ يَخْضِبُ بِالسَّوَادِ»  

[Machine] I saw Hassan and Hussein, the sons of Fatima, dyeing themselves with black, and Hussain was leaving behind the Anfaqah.  

«رَأَيْتُ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ ؓ ابْنَيْ فَاطِمَةَ ؓ يَخْضِبَانِ بِالسَّوَادِ وَكَانَ الْحُسَيْنُ يَدَعُ الْعَنْفَقَةَ»  

[Machine] I entered upon Al-Husayn ibn Ali, and he had dyed himself with black.  

«دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ وَقَدْ خَضَبَ بِالسَّوَادِ»  

[Machine] That Husayn ibn Ali used to dye with black dye.  

«أَنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ كَانَ يَخْضِبُ بِالسَّوَادِ»  

[Machine] I saw Al-Hussein ibn Ali dyeing with black.  

«رَأَيْتُ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ يَخْضِبُ بِالسَّوَادِ»  

[Machine] That Hussein bin Ali used to dye himself with black dye.  

«أَنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ كَانَ يَخْضِبُ بِالسَّوَادِ»  

[Machine] "Umar ibn Ataa ibn Abi al-Khuwar and Ubaidullah ibn Abi Yazid said, 'We saw Husayn ibn Ali dyeing with henna.'"  

عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخُوَارِ وَعُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ قَالَا «رَأَيْنَا الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ يَخْضِبُ بِالْوَسْمَةِ»  

[Machine] "I said 'no,' so should I make it lower than the ankles?" He said, "Nothing lower than the ankles is in the Fire."  

«لَا» قُلْتُ فَأَجْعَلُهُ أَسْفَلَ مِنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ؟ فَقَالَ «مَا أَسْفَلَ مِنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ فِي النَّارِ»  

[Machine] I saw Hassan and Hussein wearing striped socks, and I saw them riding commercial bicycles.  

«رَأَيْتُ عَلَى الْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ ؓ جَوَارِبَ خَزٍّ مَنْصُوبٍ ورَأَيْتُهُمَا يَرْكَبَانِ الْبَرَاذِينَ التِّجَارِيَّةَ»  

[Machine] "I saw Al-Hussein Ibn Ali wearing a red cloak."  

«رَأَيْتُ عَلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ كِسَاءَ خَزٍّ أَحْمَرَ»  

[Machine] "I saw Husayn ibn Ali wearing a worn-out turban, with his hair coming out from under it."  

«رَأَيْتُ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ وَعَلَيْهِ عِمَامَةُ خَزٍّ قَدْ خَرَجَ شَعْرُهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعِمَامَةِ»  

[Machine] "I entered upon Husayn bin Ali, and he was wearing a garment of wool."  

«دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ وَعَلَيْهِ ثَوْبُ خَزٍّ»  

[Machine] That Hussein ibn Ali used to wear his signet ring on his left hand.  

«أَنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ كَانَ يَتَخَتَّمُ فِي الْيَسَارِ»  

[Machine] I saw on Al-Hussein on the day he was killed wearing a garment made of silk.  

«رَأَيْتُ عَلَى الْحُسَيْنِ يَوْمَ قُتِلَ يَلْمَقَ سُنْدُسٍ»  

[Machine] "A man said, 'O Abu Firās, who is this?' So Faraḍaq replied."  

رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا فِرَاسٍ مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ الْفَرَزْدَقُ  

[Machine] Ali said, "Shall I not tell you about the special qualities of myself and my family?" We said, "Yes." He said, "As for Hasan, he is a companion of generosity and goodness. And as for Abdullah bin Ja'far, he is a companion of amusement and falsehood. Do not be deceived by the sons of Abbas. As for me and Husain, we are from you and you are from us. By Allah, I feared that these people would divert you with their righteousness in their land and your corruption in your land, with their fulfillment of trusts and your betrayal, with their obedience to their leader and your disobedience to him, with their unity on falsehood and your division on truth, until their power becomes long-lasting, and they do not prohibit anything that Allah has forbidden, and nothing remains of honor and virtue unless their oppression enters into it. And until one of you becomes a follower of theirs, and until the support of one of you from them is like the support of a slave from his master, when he witnesses his obedience to him, and when he is absent from him, he slanders him. And until the richest among you is the most impoverished in terms of his reliance on Allah, and the best among you in Allah's eyes is the one who has the best opinion of Allah. So if Allah brings you ease, accept it. And if you are afflicted, be patient, for indeed, the final outcome is for the righteous."  

عَلِيٌّ ؓ «أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَنْ خَاصَّةِ نَفْسِي وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِي؟» قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ «أَمَّا حَسَنٌ فَصَاحِبُ جَفْنَةٍ وَخُوَانٍ وفَتًى مِنَ الْفِتْيَانِ وَلَوْ قَدِ الْتَقَتْ حَلْقَتَا الْبِطَانِ لَمْ يُغْنِ عَنكُمْ فِي الْحَرْبِ حِبَالَةَ عُصْفُورٍ وَأَمَّا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ فَصَاحِبُ لَهْوٍ وَظِلٍّ وَبَاطِلٍ وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُمُ ابْنَا عَبَّاسٍ وَأَمَّا أَنَا وَحُسَيْنٌ فَأَنَا وَحُسَيْنٌ فَإِنَّا مِنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ مِنَّا وَاللهِ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يُدَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِصَلَاحِهِمْ فِي أَرْضِهِمْ وَفَسادِكِمْ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ وَبِأَدَائِهِمُ الْأَمَانَةَ وخِيانِتِكُمْ وبِطَوَاعِيَتِهِمْ إِمَامَهُمْ ومَعْصِيَتِكُمْ لَهُ وَاجْتِمَاعِهِمْ عَلَى بَاطِلِهِمْ وتَفَرُّقِكُمْ عَلَى حَقِّكُمْ حَتَّى تَطُولَ دَوْلَتُهُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَدَعُوا لِلَّهِ مُحَرَّمًا إِلَّا اسْتَحَلُّوهُ وَلَا يَبْقَى مَدَرٌ وَلَا وَبَرٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَهُ ظُلْمُهُمْ وَحَتَّى يَكُونَ أَحَدُكُمْ تَابِعًا لَهُمْ وَحَتَّى يَكُونَ نُصْرَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْهُمْ كَنُصْرَةِ الْعَبْدِ مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ إِذَا شَهِدَ أَطَاعَهُ وَإِذَا غَابَ عَنْهُ سَبَّهُ وَحَتَّى يَكُونَ أَعْظَمُكُمْ فِيهَا غِنًى أَحْسَنَكُمْ بِاللهِ ظَنًّا فَإِنْ أَتَاكُمُ اللهُ بِعافِيَةٍ فَاقْبَلُوا فَإِنِ ابْتُلِيتُمْ فَاصْبِرُوا فَإِنَّ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ»  

[Machine] We were sitting with Ali, and they mentioned his family, so Ali said, "As for Hasan, his presence alone will not be enough for you in battle, he is as weak as the thread of a sparrow, and as for Abdullah ibn Jafar, he is just a shadow and a betrayer. But as for Hussain, he is one of you, and you are from him."  

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ فَذَكَرُوا أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ «أَمَّا الْحَسَنُ فَلَا يُغْنِي عَنْكُمْ فِي الْحَرْبِ حِبَالَةَ عُصْفُورٍ وَأَمَّا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ فَصَاحِبُ ظِلٍّ وَخُوَانٍ وَأَمَّا حُسَيْنٌ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ مِنْهُ»  

[Machine] Muawiyah died in the month of Rajab, after four nights had passed. Yazid was appointed as his successor for two years. In the year 61, Husayn ibn Ali and his companions were killed, for ten nights, starting from the first day of Muharram, until the day of Ashura.

«تُوُفِّيَ مُعَاوِيَةُ ؓ فِي رَجَبٍ لِأَرْبَعِ لَيَالٍ خَلَتْ مِنْهُ وَاسْتُخْلِفَ يَزِيدُ سَنَتَيْنِ وَفِي سَنَةِ إِحْدَى وَسِتِّينَ قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَأَصْحَابُهُ ؓ لِعَشْرِ لَيَالٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَقُتِلَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأُمُّهُ أُمُّ الْبَنِينَ عَامِرِيَّةٌ وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأُمُّهُ لَيْلَى بِنْتُ مَسْعُودٍ نَهْشَلِيَّةٌ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ الْأَكْبَرُ وَأُمُّهُ لَيْلَى ثَقَفِيَّةٌ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ وَأُمُّهُ الرَّبَابُ بِنْتُ امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ كَلْبِيَّةٌ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ لِأُمِّ وَلَدٍ وَالْقَاسِمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ لِأُمِّ وَلَدٍ وَعَوْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَمُسْلِمُ بْنُ عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَسُلَيْمَانُ مَوْلَى الْحُسَيْنِ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ رَضِيعُ الْحُسَيْنِ ؓ وَقُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ ؓ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسِينَ»  

[Machine] Hussein bin Ali was killed when he was fifty-eight years old.  

«قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ؓ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسِينَ»  

[Machine] Indeed, he was killed along with seventeen of those who sought refuge in the sanctuary of Fatimah.  

«لَقَدْ قُتِلَ مَعَهُ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ مِمَّنِ ارْتَكَضَ فِي رَحِمِ فَاطِمَةَ ؓ»  

[Machine] "He was captured, so they fought him and killed him, as well as his sons and his companions who fought with him in a place called Taff. Then Ali ibn Husayn, Fatimah bint Husayn, and Sukaynah bint Husayn were taken to Ubaidullah ibn Ziyad. Ali at that time was a young boy who had reached maturity, so he sent them to Yazid ibn Muawiyah. He ordered Sukaynah to be placed behind his bed so that she would not see the heads of her father and relatives. Ali ibn Husayn was in shackles, so he rested his head and struck it on the thighs of Husayn."  

أَنْ يُسْتَأْسَرَ فَقاتَلُوهُ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَقَتَلُوا ابْنَيْهِ وَأَصْحَابَهُ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوا مِنْهُ بِمَكَانٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ الطَّفُّ وَانْطُلِقَ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ وَفَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ حُسَيْنٍ وَسُكَيْنَةَ بِنْتِ حُسَيْنٍ إِلَى عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَعَلِيٌّ يَوْمَئِذٍ غُلَامٌ قَدْ بَلَغَ فَبَعَثَ بِهِمْ إِلَى يَزِيدَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَأَمَرَ بِسُكَيْنَةَ فَجَعَلَهَا خَلْفَ سَرِيرِهِ لِئَلَّا تَرَى رَأْسَ أَبِيهَا وَذَوِي قَرابَتِهَا وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ؓ فِي غُلٍّ فَوَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَضَرَبَ عَلَى ثَنِيَّتَيِ الْحُسَيْنِ ؓ فَقَالَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Hussein ibn Ali will be killed at the head of sixty of my followers who migrated."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يُقْتَلُ حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ؓ عَلَى رَأْسِ سِتِّينَ مِنْ مُهَاجَرَتِي»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Al-Hussein will be killed when the tawny one rises." Abu Al-Qasim said, "The tawny one is the gray-haired man."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يُقْتَلُ الْحُسَيْنُ حِينَ يَعْلُوهُ الْقَتِيرُ» قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الْقَتِيرُ الشَّيْبُ  

[Machine] Ali was killed when he was fifty-eight years old, Hussein was killed when he was fifty-eight years old, and Ali ibn Hussein died when he was fifty-eight years old.  

«أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ؓ قُتِلَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسِينَ وَقُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ ؓ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسِينَ وَتُوُفِّيَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسِينَ»  

[Machine] He traveled with Ali, and when he reached Nineveh, he said, "Be patient, O Abu Abdullah, be patient at the banks of the Euphrates." I asked, "And what is that?" He said, "I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day and his eyes were overflowing. So I said, 'Has anyone angered you, O Messenger of Allah? Why do I see your eyes overflowing?' He stood up and Gabriel ﷺ came to me and informed me that my nation will kill my son Husayn. Then he said, 'Would you like me to show you his burial place?' I said, 'Yes.' So he extended his hand and grabbed [some soil], and when I saw it, my eyes couldn't hold back their tears."  

أَنَّهُ سَافَرَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ فَلَمَّا حَاذَى نِينَوَى قَالَ صَبْرًا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ صَبْرًا بِشَطِّ الْفُرَاتِ قُلْتُ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَفِيضَانِ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ أَغْضَبَكَ أَحَدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ مَالِي أَرَى عَيْنَيْكَ مُفِيضَتَيْنِ؟ قَالَ قَامَ مِنْ عِنْدِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ أُمَّتِي تَقْتُلُ الْحُسَيْنَ ابْنِي ثُمَّ قَالَ هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ أُرِيَكَ مِنْ تُرْبَتِهِ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ فَقَبَضَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهَا لَمْ أَمْلِكْ عَيْنَيَّ أَنْ فَاضَتَا  

[Machine] "What is the name of this land?" It was said, "Karbala." So the Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, it is the land of grief and affliction."  

مَا اسْمُ هَذِهِ الْأَرْضِ؟ قِيلَ كَرْبَلَاءُ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّهَا أَرْضُ كَرْبٍ وَبَلَاءٍ»  

[Machine] The King of Qatar sought permission from his Lord to visit the Prophet ﷺ , so he granted him permission. The King came to him while he was in the house of Umm Salamah and said, "O Umm Salamah, keep the door closed so that no one enters." While they were at the door, Al-Hussein came and opened the door. He began jumping on the back of the Prophet ﷺ , and the Prophet ﷺ embraced him and kissed him. The King asked him, "Do you love him, O Muhammad?" He said, "Yes." The king then said, "Your nation will kill him, and if you wish, I can show you some soil from the place he will be killed." The Prophet ﷺ agreed, so the king took a handful of soil from the place where he would be killed. He brought it to him, and Umm Salamah took it and placed it in her lap. Thabit said, "We used to say that it was Karbala."  

اسْتَأْذَنَ مَلَكُ الْقَطْرِ رَبَّهُ ﷻ أَنْ يَزُورَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَجَاءَهُ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ «يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ‍ احْفَظِي عَلَيْنَا الْبَابَ لَا يَدْخُلْ عَلَيْنَا أَحَدٌ» فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ عَلَى الْبَابِ إِذْ جَاءَ الْحُسَيْنُ فَفَتَحَ الْبَابَ فَجَعَلَ يَتَقَفَّزُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَلْتَئِمُهُ وَيُقَبِّلُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ تُحِبُّهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ سَتَقْتُلُهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ أُرِيَكَ مِنْ تُرْبَةِ الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يُقْتَلُ فِيهَا قَالَ فَقَبَضَ قَبْضَةً مِنَ الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يُقْتَلُ فِيهِ فَأَتَاهُ بِسَهْلَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ فَأَخَذَتْهُ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ فَجَعَلَتْهُ فِي ثَوْبِهَا قَالَ ثَابِتٌ «كُنَّا نَقُولُ إِنَّهَا كَرْبَلَاءُ»  

[Machine] Hussein bin Ali entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was being inspired, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled at him while he was on his shoulders and playing on his back. Gabriel said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "Do you love him, O Muhammad?" He said, "O Gabriel, why should I not love my son?" He said, "Indeed, your Ummah will kill him after you." So Gabriel extended his hand towards the Prophet ﷺ with a white soil, saying, "In this land, your son will be killed, O Muhammad, and its name is Taff." When Gabriel left, the Prophet ﷺ went out holding the soil in his hand and crying. He said, "O Aisha, Gabriel informed me that my son Husayn will be killed in the land of Taff, and that my Ummah will be fragmented after me." Then he went out to his companions, among them were Ali, Abu Bakr, Umar, Hudhayfah, Ammar, and Abu Dharr, and he was crying. They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what makes you cry?" He said, "Gabriel informed me that my son Husayn will be killed after me in the land of Taff, and he brought me this soil also and informed me that it is his resting place."  

دَخَلَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ؓ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ فَنَزَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُنْكَبٌّ وَلَعِبَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَقَالَ جِبْرِيلُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَتُحِبُّهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ؟ قَالَ «يَا جِبْرِيلُ وَمَا لِي لَا أُحِبُّ ابْنِي» قَالَ فَإِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ سَتَقْتُلُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فَمَدَّ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَدَهُ فَأَتَاهُ بِتُرْبَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فَقَالَ فِي هَذِهِ الْأَرْضِ يُقْتَلُ ابْنُكَ هَذَا يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَاسْمُهَا الطَّفُّ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالتُّرْبَةُ فِي يَدِهِ يَبْكِي فَقَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ ابْنِي مَقْتُولٌ فِي أَرْضِ الطَّفِّ وَأَنَّ أُمَّتِي سَتُفْتَتَنُ بَعْدِي» ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فِيهِمْ عَلِيٌّ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَحُذَيْفَةُ وَعَمَّارٌ وَأَبُو ذَرٍّ ؓ وَهُوَ يَبْكِي فَقَالُوا مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ «أَخْبَرَنِي جِبْرِيلُ أَنَّ ابْنِي الْحُسَيْنَ يُقْتَلُ بَعْدِي بِأَرْضِ الطَّفِّ وَجَاءَنِي بِهَذِهِ التُّرْبَةِ وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ فِيهَا مَضْجَعَهُ»
