Rasulullah (Sw) Cried For the Shahadat of Hazrat Imam Hussayn (As) in Advance before His Shahadat!

(A)
Imam Ibn Habban has recorded this in Sahih Ibn Habban, Volume 5, page 142, Hadith 6742. Al-Haythmai in Majma Al-Zawaid, Volume 9 page has recorded a number of traditions wherein we read that Umme Salamah preserved the abovementioned soil in a bottle with her. Al-Albaani records a ‘Sahih’ Hadith:

“Gabriel came to me and informed me that my Ummah will kill my son Hussayn.

I asked: ‘This Hussian?’. He (Sw) replied:

‘Yes’ he then brought me some of its soil that was red.

Narrated by Umm Al-Fadhal Binte Al-Harith that she went to the Holy Prophet (Sw) and said:

‘O Prophet (Sw), I have seen an unclear dream tonight’. He (Sw) asked:

‘What is it?’ She replied:

‘I saw that as if a part of your body was cut off from you and was placed upon my chest’.

He (Sw) said:

‘You have seen something good. Inshallah Fatimah will bear a baby boy and he will be upon your chest.’ So Fatima gave birth to Hussain and he was on my chest as the Prophet (Sw) had notified me.
On one day I went to the Holy Prophet (Sw) and put Hussayn on his chest then he turned his face to the side and I witnessed his (Sw) eyes Flowing with Tears!

I asked: “Prophet of Allah (Sw), may parents be sacrificed for you, what is wrong?”

he (sw) then mentioned it (the above hadith).

Narrated by Alqamah from Abdullah bin Masood:

One day we were sitting with Holy Prophet (s) while some children from the house of Bani Hashim came there. When the Holy Prophet (s) saw them, tears welled up in his eyes and he became pale.

Ibne Masood said that he told the Holy Prophet (Sw):

“Your face reflects anxiety”.

The Holy Prophet (Sw) stated:

“Exalted God has granted us, the Ahlulbayit, Hereafter instead of worldly pleasure.

After me, soon my Ahlubayit will face calamity, hardship and misery till people having black flags will rise from East and seek justice, which will be denied them. They will wage war, they will be supported and will be given what they were demanding. They will not accept until it is handed over to one from our Ahlulbayit {i.e. Imam Mahdi (As)} .He will fill the earth with justice as it was filled with unjustice. Whoever amongst you is alive at that period,should try to reach them even if he has to tread on ice in that pursuit.”

I asked her what was making her weep and she replied that she had seen Rasulullah (Sw) {Meaning in a Dream} with dust on his head and beard. She asked him what was the matter and he replied,

‘I have just been present at the slaying of Al-Hussayn.’ ”

“This is the blood of Al-Hussayn and his companions which I have been collecting today.”

He told that he was reckoning that time and found that he had been killed at that time.

The Prophet (Sw) said:

‘An angel that has never visited me before, entered my house today and said to me:

‘This son of yours will be killed. If you wish, I can give you some soil from the earth wherein he shall die’.

The Prophet (Sw) then said:

‘The angel brought to me soil that was red’’.

In the footnote we read:

The chain is Sahih. He (Ahmed bin Hanbal) has brought this Hadith in his Musnad as did Al-Haythami in Majma Al-Zawaid and has said:
‘Ahmed has recorded this Hadith and its narrators are Sahih and Tabarani has recorded this Hadith from Ayisha with a Sahih chain. And in Majma Al-Zawaid it is mentioned:
‘Ahmed has narrated this as have Abi Ya’la and Tabarani and Bazzar and its narrators are all Thiqaat (Truthworthy).

Since the creation of the world, the heaven and the earth have cried for none else other then two men. The people asked him:

“Do not the heaven and the earth cry for the Momineen?”

He replied:

“When they are virtous his privilege is linked to his status and deeds.”

He then asked them if they knew how the heaven and the earth cries.. The people replied in the negative, therefore he said:

“It becomes fiery and red, just as the red boiling oil. The day when Yahya bin Zakarya (As) was martyred the sky had got red and blood was dripping from it and the sky had also got red the day Imam Hussayn was martyred.”

He further quotes Abu Sa’eed:

“The day Imam Hussayn was martyred, no stone was picked in the world that did not have blood under it, blood kept oozing from the sky and the affects remained on the clothing for a long time, until the clothes became worn out.

… Sa’lbi has said that the sky kept crying for Imam Hussayn’s martyrdom and the sky’s crying was its turning red.

Besides Sa’lbi a few others have said that the corners of the sky remain red for six months after Imam Hussayn’s martyrdom and then it started to emerge every now and then.”
