[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in my house one day and he said, "No one should enter upon me." So, I waited and then Hussain entered. I heard the sobbing of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so I looked and saw Hussain in his chamber or by his side, wiping his head and crying. I said, "By Allah, I did not know about him when he entered." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Jibril was in the house and he said to me, 'Do you love him?' I said, 'In this world, yes.' He said, 'Indeed, your Ummah will kill him in a land called Karbala.' So Jibril handed him the soil of that place and I see him now." When Hussain was surrounded and killed, he (the Messenger) asked, "What is the name of this land?" They said, "Karbala." He (the Messenger) said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke the truth. It is the land of grief and calamity."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in my house one day and said, "No one should enter upon me." So, I waited and then Husain entered. I heard the weeping of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so I looked and saw Husain in his lap and the Prophet ﷺ wiping his forehead while crying. I said, "By Allah, I did not know the reason when he entered." He said, "Indeed, Jibril (Gabriel) was with us in the house and he asked me, 'Do you love him?' I said, 'Yes, as for this world, then yes.' He said, 'Your nation will kill him in a land called Karbala.' Then Jibril ﷺ handed me some of its soil and showed it to me. So when Husain was surrounded and killed, he asked, 'What is the name of this land?' They said, 'Karbala.' He said, 'Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth. Karbala is a land of grief and affliction.'"
