Hadith 725
۞
Abu `Ali Ahmad b. Ziyad al-Hamadani (rh) narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. Ibrahim b. Hashim narrated to us from Muhammad b. `Isa b. `Ubayd al-Yaqtini from Yunus b. `Abd al-Rahman from Ibn Asbat from `Ali b. Salim from his father from Thabit b. Abi Safiyya. He said
The Master of Worshipers `Ali b. al-Husayn (as) looked at `Ubaydullah b. al-`Abbas b. `Ali b. Abi Talib (as) and shed a tear. Then, he said: There was not a day that was more severe for the Messenger of Allah (s) than the day of Uhud. Therein, his uncle Hamza b. `Abd al-Muttalib, the Lion of Allah and the Lion of the Messenger of Allah, was killed. After that, [the worst day was] the day of Mu’ta, wherein his cousin Ja`far b. Abi Talib was killed. Then, he (as) said: But there is no day like the day of al-Husayn (as). Thirty thousand men came down on him, alleging that they were from this Nation and that they were gaining Allah’s proximity through his blood. He was, by Allah, reminding them [of their duty], but they did not learn, until they killed him treacherously, oppressively, and antagonistically. Then, he (as) said: May Allah have mercy on al-`Abbas, for he was harmed, and he suffered. He sacrificed his soul for his brother until his arms were severed, so Allah exchanged them for two wings with which he flies with the angels in Paradise, just as He did with Ja`far b. Abi Talib. Surely, al-`Abbas will have a status with Allah on the Day of Resurrection that will be envied by all the martyrs.
10 - حدثنا أبو علي أحمد بن زياد الهمداني (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا علي ابن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن محمد بن عيسى بن عبيد اليقطيني، عن يونس بن عبد الرحمن، عن ابن أسباط، عن علي بن سالم، عن أبيه، عن ثابت بن أبي صفية، قال
نظر سيد العابدين علي بن الحسين (عليهما السلام) إلى عبيد الله بن العباس بن علي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام) فاستعبر، ثم قال: ما من يوم أشد على رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) من يوم أحد، قتل فيه عمه حمزة بن عبد المطلب أسد الله وأسد رسوله، وبعده يوم مؤته قتل فيه ابن عمه جعفر بن أبي طالب. ثم قال (عليه السلام): ولا يوم كيوم الحسين (عليه السلام) ازدلف إليه ثلاثون ألف رجل، يزعمون أنهم من هذه الامة كل يتقرب إلى الله عز وجل بدمه، وهو بالله يذكرهم فلا يتعظون، حتى قتلوه بغيا وظلما وعدوانا. ثم قال (عليه السلام): رحم الله العباس، فلقد آثر وأبلى، وفدى أخاه بنفسه حتى قطعت يداه، فأبدله الله عز وجل بهما جناحين يطير بهما مع الملائكة في الجنة كما جعل لجعفر بن أبي طالب، وإن للعباس عند الله تبارك وتعالى منزلة يغبطه بها جميع الشهداء يوم القيامة (1).
