The Holy Prophet
(S.A.W.S.) said to the Lady of Paradise:
“On the Day of
Judgment, you shall intercede for the ladies, and I shall intercede for the
men; every person who has wept over the tragedy of Husayn (A.S.), we shall take
him by the hand and lead him into the Paradise ”. He
further said, “Surely, there exists in the hearts of the Momineen, with respect
to the martyrdom of Husayn (A.S.) a heat that never subsides.”
Commander of the
faithful(A.S.) said:
“Surely, Allah has
chosen for us followers who assist us and are happy at our happiness and are
sad in our sadness.” He said to Ibne Abbas, “(Once, when he happened to passed
by Karbala ), Isa (A.S.) sat down
and began to weep. His disciples were observing him, followed suit and began
weeping too, but not knowing the reason for this behavior, they asked him: “O”
spirit of God! What is it that makes you weep? Isa (A.S.) said, “Do you know
what land this is? The disciples replied: “No” He then said: “This is the land,
on which the son of Prophet Ahmad (S.A.W.S) shall be killed.”
Imam Zain-ul-Abedin(A.S.)
used to say:
“Every Momin, whose
eyes shed tears upon the killing of Husayn (A.S.) and his companions, such that
tears roll down his cheeks, Allah shall accommodate him in the elevated rooms
of Paradise .”
Imam Mohammad Baqir(A.S.)
said:
“Those who cannot go
for Ziarat of Imam Husayn (A.S.) on the day of Ashura, should mourn over Husayn
(A.S.), weep for him and also instruct his family members to do so, the people
should meet one another and offer condolences and consolations to each other.”
He further said, “Commander of the Faithful, along with two of his companions,
happened to pass by Karbala , tears
filled his eyes. He said to them, “This is the resting place of their animals;
and this is where their luggage will be laid down; and it is here that their
blood shall be shed. Blessed are you O’ earth, that the blood of the beloved
shall be spilled upon you.” He further added, “He who remembers us, or in whose
presence, we are remembered, and tears flow from his eyes, even though they may
be in the measure of a mosquito wing, Allah shall construct for him a house in
Paradise and make the tears a barrier between him and the Hell Fire”
Imam Jaffer al-Sadiq
(A.S.) said:
“There is none who recites poetry about Husayn (A.S.) and
weeps and makes others weep by means of it, except that Allah makes Paradise
incumbent upon him and forgives his sins”
“All praise is for Allah, who has placed amongst the people,
those who arrive in our presence, eulogizing us and reciting elegies about us.”
“As for Ali Ibn al-Husayn (A.S.), he cried over Husayn (A.S.)
for twenty years never would any food placed before him except that he would
begin to weep.”
“He in whose presence we (and our miseries) are mentioned
and, as a result, his eyes pour out tears, Allah shall make his face forbidden
upon the Fire of Hell.”
“May Allah have mercy upon your tears! Do know that you are
regarded as being of those who are deeply concerned about us and of those who
are happy at our happiness and aggrieved at our sorrow. Do know that you shall
witness the presence of my fathers near you at the time of your death.”
“O’ Lord, have mercy upon those eyes, which have shed tears
in compassion for us; and upon those hearts which have been restless and
blistered for us; and upon those wailings, which have been for us.”
“He whose eyes shed tears for our blood which has been shed,
or for our rights which have been usurped, or for the humiliation meted out to
us or to one of our Shiites, Allah shall accommodate him in Paradise for a long
time.”
“O’Zurarah! The sky had cried for forty days over the
martyrdom of Husayn (A.S.)”
“The breath of one who is aggrieved upon the injustice and
oppression subjected to us, is ‘tasbeeh’ (glorification of Allah), and his
grief for us is ‘ibadah’ (worship of Allah) and his concealing our secrets, is ‘jihad’
in the path of Allah. The Imam (A.S.) then added: This tradition ought to be
written in gold.”
“Allah has appointed to the grave of Imam Husayn (A.S.),
four thousand anguished and grief-stricken angels, who weep over him (and shall
continue to do so) up to the Day of Judgment”
“The zaair (pilgrim) of Imam Husayn (A.S.) turns back (from
his pilgrimage) such that not a single sin remains upon him.”
(Regarding the zaair of Imam Husayn (A.S.) he said, “One who
weeps for Imam Husayn, surely, the Imam (A.S.) observes him and seeks
forgiveness for him and requests his Holy Fathers to (also) seek forgiveness
for him”
“He (Imam Husayn) sees those who come to his shrine, and he
knows them by their names, their father’s name and their ranks in the eyes of
Allah, The Mighty, The Glorious, better than you know your children”
Imam Ali al-Raza
(A.S.) said:
“The one for whom the day of
Ashura is a day of tragedy, grief and weeping, Allah the Mighty, the Glorious,
shall make the day of Judgment, a day of joy and happiness for him”
“With the advent of the month of
Muharram, my father Imam Kazim (A.S.) would never be seen laughing; gloom and
sadness would overcome him for the first ten days of the month, and when the
tenth day would dawn, it would be a day of tragedy, grief and weeping.”
“If you desire that for you to get
the reward equivalent to that of those martyred along with (Imam) Husayn
(A.S.), then whenever you remember him say: O! Would that I have been with
them! A great achievement would I have achieved!”
“O’ Son of Shabib, If you have
to cry over something, then do so over Husayn Ibne Ali (A.S.) for surely, he
was slaughtered in the manner a ram is slaughtered.”
“He who sits in a gathering in
which our affairs (and our path and aims) are discussed and revived, his heart
shall not die on the day (Day of Judgment) when hearts shall die of fear”
“O’ Son of Shabib! If it makes
you happy (and you desire) to be with us in the elevated ranks of Paradise ,
then be sad in our grief and happy at our happiness”
“One who refrains from seeking
his worldly desires on the Day of Ashura, Allah shall grant him his desires of
the world and hereafter.”
