Hadith 220
۞
Al-Husayn b. Ahmad b. Idris (rh) said: My father narrated to us from Ja`far b. Muhammad b. Malik. He said: Muhammad b. al-Husayn b. Zaid narrated to me. He said: Abu Ahmad Muhammad b. Ziyad narrated to us. He said: Ziyad b. al Mundhir narrated to us from Sa`id b. Jubayr from Ibn `Abbas. He said
`Ali (as) said to the Messenger of Allah (s): O Messenger of Allah! Surely, do you love `Aqil a lot? He said: Yes, by Allah! I love him with two loves – out of love for him and out of love for the love of Abu Talib for him. Surely, his son shall be killed in the love of your son. The eyes of the believers shall shed tears over him and the angels made proximate shall pray over him. Then, the Messenger of Allah (s) wept until his tears flowed onto his chest. Then, he said: I complain to Allah regarding that which my progeny shall encounter after me.
200 / 3 - حدثنا الحسين بن أحمد بن إدريس (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا أبي، عن جعفر بن محمد بن مالك، قال حدثني محمد بن الحسين بن زيد، قال: حدثنا أبو أحمد محمد بن زياد، قال: حدثنا زياد بن المنذر، عن سعيد بن جبير، عن ابن عباس، قال
قال علي (عليه السلام) لرسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): يا رسول الله، إنك لتحب عقيلا؟ قال: إي والله إني لاحبه حبين: حبا له، وحبا لحب أبي طالب له، وإن ولده لمقتول في محبة ولدك، فتدمع عليه عيون المؤمنين، وتصلي عليه الملائكة المقربون. ثم بكى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) حتى جرت دموعه على صدره، ثم قال: إلى الله أشكو ما تلقى عترتي من بعدي (2).
