Hadith 80
۞
Ja`far b. Muhammad b. Masrur (rh) narrated to us. He said: al-Husayn b. Muhammad b. `Amer narrated to us from his uncle `Abdullah b. `Amer. He said: Abu Ahmad Muhammad b. Ziyad al-Azdi narrated to us from Aban b. `Uthman. He said: Aban b. Taghlub narrated to us from `Ikrama from Ibn `Abbas. He said
The Messenger of Allah (s) said: If it makes one happy to live my life, die my death, join my rank in the Garden of Eden, and grasp onto the bark [of a tree] planted by my Lord – after which He said “be! And it is” – then he should align with `Ali b. Abi Talib and accept the deputies from his descendants; for they are my progeny, who were created from my clay. I complain to Allah about their enemies from my Nation, who deny their virtue, who cut away my bloodline through them. By Allah! My son, al-Husayn, will be killed after me – and Allah will not give them my intercession.
11 - حدثنا جعفر بن محمد بن مسرور (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا الحسين بن محمد بن عامر، عن عمه عبد الله بن عامر، قال: حدثنا أبو أحمد محمد بن زياد الازدي، عن أبان بن عثمان، قال: حدثنا أبان بن تغلب، عن عكرمة، عن ابن عباس، قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): من سره أن يحيا حياتي ويموت ميتتي، ويدخل جنة عدن منزلي، ويمسك قضيبا غرسه ربي عزوجل، ثم قال له: كن فيكون (1)، فليتول علي بن أبي طالب، وليأتم بالاوصياء من ولده، فإنهم عترتي، خلقوا من طينتي، إلى الله أشكو أعداءهم من امتي، المنكرين لفضلهم، القاطعين فيهم صلتي، وايم الله ليقتلن بعدي ابني الحسين، لا أنالهم الله شفاعتي (2).
