عبد الله بن محمد الصنعاني

Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) said: The Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) would draw Ḥusain (a.s.) to himself whenever Ḥusain (a.s.) would enter (a place where the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) happened to be). Then he would tell the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) to hold Ḥusain (a.s.), after which he would fall on Ḥusain (a.s.), kissing him and crying. So (once) Ḥusain (a.s.) asked, “O father! Why are you crying?” “I am kissing parts of your body which will be struck with swords,” the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) replied. “O father! Will I be killed?” Ḥusain (a.s.) asked. “Yes. I swear to Allāh that you, your father, and your brother will be killed,” the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) replied. “Will the places of our martyrdom be far from each other?” Ḥusain (a.s.) asked. “Yes. O my son,” the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) replied. “So who from your nation will come to our Ziyārah?” Ḥusain (a.s.) asked. “No one but the truthful ones from my nation will come to my Ziyārah, to the Ziyārah of your father, to the Ziyārah of your brother, or to your Ziyārah,” the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) replied.
