I was near Abu `Abdillah (as) when he sought water. When he had drunk it, I saw that he had been crying and his eyes had been filled to the brim with his tears. Then he said: O Dawud! May Allah curse the murderer of al-Husayn. The remembrance of al-Husayn has made life loathsome! I do not drink cold water but that I remember al-Husayn. And there is not a servant who drinks water and remembers al-Husayn (as) and curses his murderer, but that Allah writes down for him a hundred thousand good deeds and erases a hundred thousand evil deeds from him and raises him by a hundred thousand ranks. He is as if he has freed a hundred thousand lives and Allah will gather him on the Day of Resurrection with a luminous face.
