وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ - آل عمران 169

 

And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ‏:‏ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَدُعِينَا إِلَى طَعَامٍ فَإِذَا حُسَيْنٌ يَلْعَبُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، فَأَسْرَعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَامَ الْقَوْمِ، ثُمَّ بَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ، فَجَعَلَ يَمُرُّ مَرَّةً هَا هُنَا وَمَرَّةً هَا هُنَا، يُضَاحِكُهُ حَتَّى أَخَذَهُ، فَجَعَلَ إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ فِي ذَقْنِهِ وَالأُخْرَى فِي رَأْسِهِ، ثُمَّ اعْتَنَقَهُ فَقَبَّلَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ حُسَيْنٌ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ، أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ مَنْ أَحَبَّ الْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ، سَبِطَانِ مِنَ الأَسْبَاطِ‏.‏

 

Ya'la ibn Murra said, "We went out with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and we were invited to eat. Husayn was playing in the road and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, raced the people and then spread out his arms. The boy began to run this way and that and the Prophet made him laugh until he caught hold of him. He put one of his hands under his chin and the other on his head and then embraced him. Then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn. Allah loves anyone who loves al-Hasan and al-Husayn. They are two of my distinguished descendants.'" - Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 364 and also Sunan ibn Majah, Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 144

الا ترون الى الحق لا يعمل به والى الباطل لا يتناهى عنه، ليرغب المؤمن في لقاء الله، فاني لا ارى الموت الا سعادة، والحياة مع الظالمين الا برما

 

Do you not see how right is not acted upon and falsehood is not prevented? Then let the believer desire the meeting with Allah, for I see death as being nothing other than happiness, while life with the oppressors as the most undesirable.

Sahid al-Bukhari, Book 23, Hadith 62 says that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) cried after his son Ibrahim-ibn-Muhammad passed away.

Sahid al-Bukhari, Book 23, Hadith 62 says that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) cried after his son Ibrahim-ibn-Muhammad passed away.

What does the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) say about him? Among many Hadith provided for Hussain-ibn-Ali in Sunni books, a few are listed below:

Another Hadith from prophet Muhammad (PBUH):

Sahid al-Bukhari, Book 23, Hadith 62 says that the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) cried after his son Ibrahim-ibn-Muhammad passed away.

The case for Hussain-ibn-Ali is also outstanding, because he is killed in the cause of Allah (and so Quran says he is Alive with his Lord). There are several book chapters of Hadith that offsprings of prophet Muhammad (PBUH) cried for Hussain, like this chapter of Bihar al Anwar.

We may then ask ourselves: What is the benefit of lamenting and crying to the offspring of prophet Muhammad (PBUH)?

This is a good way to remember that Hussain sacrificed himself to prevent Yazid-ibn-Muawiya from changing the direction of Islam from the Sunnah of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Hussain trained us not to live with oppression and not to be quiet upon the falsehood, even if it costs our life. And this may be a reason that prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn.
