"Hussain is of myself
and I am of Hussain. O' Allah be pleased with those who please Hussain and
hate those who hate Hussain."
These holy words were uttered by the Holy Prophet
(SAWAW), the one who never speaks of his own desire but only as inspired to
him by the one Mighty in power.
The muslims feeling gratitude towards the Prophet (SAWAW) for his efforts in
guiding them offered to reward him with gold. The Prophet (SAWAW) answered
them with a verse that was revealed to him, "
Say, No reward do I ask of you for this except being kind to those of
kin" (verse 23/sura 42). Al- Kashaf ( an authoritative
interpretation of the Holy Quran) narrates that when this was revealed,
people asked the Prophet "O, Prophet of God, who are the ones whose
respect is made obligatory upon us in this verse?" The
Prophet (SAWAW) answered "They are Ali, Fatema and
their two sons."
"Hassan
and Hussain are masters of youth in Paradise."
One day, when the Holy Prophet was in prostaration (sajda) during a prayer,
Imam Hussain (a.s) then climbed on his back. The Holy Prophet remained in
prostration untill Imam Hussain (a.s) came down himself.
Ibn Saad (an eighth century historian) narrates from Ash-Shabi that Imam Ali (a.s)
while on his way to Siffin passed through the desert of Karbala. He stopped
and wept bitterly. When asked regarding the cause of his weeping, he commented
that one day he visited the Holy Prophet and found him weeping. When he asked
the cause, the Apostle of Allah replied, " O'
Ali, Jibrael has just been with me and informed me that my son Hussain would
be martyred in Karbala, a place near the bank of the river Euphrates.
This moved me so much
that I could not help weeping."
Anas bin Harith narrates that : One day the Holy Prophet(SAWAW)
ascended the pulpit to deliver a sermon to his associates while Imam Hussain
and Imam Hasan were sitting before him. When the sermon concluded, he put his
left hand on Imam Hussain and raising his head towards Heaven, said: "O
my Lord! I am Muhammad Thy slave and Thy Prophet, and these two are the
distinguished and pious members of my family who would fortify my cause after
me. O my Lord! Gabriel has informed me that my son Hussain will be killed.O my
Lord, bless my cause in Hussain's martyrdom, make him the leader of the
martyrs, be Thou his helper and guardian and do not bless assassins.'
Of the attributes of the Prophet, the perceiver was
Hussain,
Of the Holiness of the Prophet, the inheritor was Hussain,
Of the secrets of Nature, an evidence was Hussain,
Of Providence, the best creature, in existence was Hussain,
For shaping out the universe, in the best of mould,
With the point of his eye-lash he measured life's gold
