Hadith 235
۞
Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Yahya al-`Attar (rh) narrated to us. He said: My father narrated to us from Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Yahya b. `Imran al-Ash`ari. He said: Musa b. `Umar narrated to us from `Abdullah b. Sabah al-Muzanni from Ibrahim b. Shu`aib al Maythami. He said
I heard al-Sadiq Abu `Abdillah (as) say: When al-Husayn b. `Ali (as) was born, Allah ordered Jibra’il that he descend with a thousand angels and offer congratulations to the Messenger of Allah (s) from Allah and from Jibra’il. He said: So Jibra’il descended and he passed by an island in the sea wherein was an angel, named Futrus, who was from the bearers (of the Throne). Allah had dispatched him for something and he had delayed it. So, He broke his wings and banished him to that island. He worshipped Allah therein for seven hundred years until al-Husayn b. `Ali (as) was born. The angel said to Jibra’il: O Jibra’il! Where do you intend (i.e. to go)? He said: Allah has bestowed a bounty on Muhammad. So, I have been sent to offer him congratulations from Allah and myself. He said: O Jibra’il! Carry me with you; perhaps Muhammad (s) will pray for me. He said: So, he carried him. He said: When Jibra’il entered the Prophet’s presence, he conveyed to him the congratulations from Allah and himself and informed him about the state of Futrus. The Prophet (s) said: Say to him: Rub (yourself) against this newborn and revert to your abode. He said: So Futrus rubbed (himself) against al-Husayn b. `Ali (as) and he ascended. He said: O Messenger of Allah! Your Nation will certainly kill him soon, and upon me is the remuneration for him. A visitor shall not visit him but that I will notify him and a Muslim shall not send his salutation upon him but that I will convey to him his salaam. A praying one shall not say a prayer (benediction of Allah) upon him but that I will convey to him his prayer. Then he ascended.
215 / 9 - حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن يحيى العطار (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا أبي، عن محمد بن أحمد بن يحيى بن عمران الاشعري، قال: حدثنا موسى بن عمر، عن عبد الله بن صباح (3) المزني، عن إبراهيم بن شعيب الميثمي، قال
سمعت الصادق أبا عبد الله (عليه السلام) يقول: إن الحسين بن علي (عليهما السلام) لما ولد أمر الله عز وجل جبرئيل أن يهبط في ألف من الملائكة فيهنئ رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) من الله ومن جبرئيل، قال: فهبط جبرئيل، فمر على جزيرة في البحر فيها ملك يقال له: فطرس، كان من الحملة، بعثه الله عز وجل في شئ فابطأ عليه، فكسر جناحه وألقاه في تلك الجزيرة، فعبد الله تبارك وتعالى فيها سبعمائة عام حتى ولد الحسين بن علي (عليهما السلام)، فقال الملك لجبرئيل: يا جبرئيل، أين تريد؟ قال: إن الله عز وجل أنعم على محمد بنعمة، فبعثت أهنئه من الله ومني، فقال: يا جبرئيل، احملني معك، لعل محمدا (صلى الله عليه وآله) يدعو لي. قال: فحمله، قال: فلما دخل جبرئيل على النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) هنأه من الله عز وجل ومنه، وأخبره بحال فطرس، فقال النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله): قل له: تمسح بهذا المولود وعد إلى مكانك، قال: فتمسح فطرس بالحسين بن علي (عليهما السلام) وارتفع، فقال: يا رسول الله، أما إن امتك ستقتله، وله علي مكافاة، ألا يزوره زائر إلا أبلغته عنه، ولا يسلم عليه مسلم إلا أبلغته سلامه، ولا يصلي عليه مصل إلا أبلغته صلاته، ثم ارتفع (1).
