The killer of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) was conceived illegitimately and the killer of Yaḥyā ibn Zakariyyā (a.s.) (also) was conceived illegitimately. The sky and the earth have never cried on anyone but them.

We were with Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) and we mentioned Ḥusain (a.s.) – May Allāh’s curse be upon his killers. Abū ‘Abdillāh (a.s.) started to cry and we cried with him. Then he raised his head and said, “Ḥusain (a.s.) said, ‘I am the Martyr of Tears. No believer remembers me without crying.”

31-178 According to the same documentation, God’s Prophet (S) said, “Indeed the murderer of Al-Husayn ibn Ali (a.s.) will be in a coffin full of fire. On him there will be half of the punishment of the people of the world. His hands and feet will be chained down with molten chains. He will be taken towards the Fire upside down until he reaches the bottom of Hell. He will stink so much that the residents of the Fire will take refuge with their Lord from the extent of the bad smell. He will reside there forever and taste the painful torture along with all those who assisted him in killing Al-Husayn (a.s.). The Honorable the Exalted God will grow new skin for them over and over again after it gets burned so that they keep experiencing that torture over and over again. It will not relieve them at all. When they express thirst, they will be fed boiling water. Woe be to them from the chastisement of the Sublime God in the Fire!”

Al-Husayn (as) was killed while he had three hundred and twenty-something wounds from spears, sword slashes, and arrows. It is reported that these were all on his front side because he (as) did not turn around.

The crowd came into our pavilion. I was a young girl, and I had gold anklets on my feet. A man rushed to take the anklets from my feet whilst he was weeping. So, I said: “What makes you cry, O enemy of Allah?!” So, he said: “How can I not weep when I am robbing the daughter of the Messenger of Allah?!” So, I said: “Do not rob me.” He said: “I fear someone else may take it.” She said: They took everything in the buildings to the point where they even took the cloaks off our backs.

What’s the matter with you? She said: My son, al-Husayn (as) has been killed and I haven’t seen the Messenger of Allah (s) since he died save this night. So, I said: May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you! Why is it that I see you so looking so haggard and pale? He said: I have been digging the grave of al-Husayn and the graves of his companions since this night.

10. Amirul Momineen (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.w) said that the head of Imam Husain (a.s.) smeared with blood will be brought to Fatima Zahra (s.a.). She will cry out, “O peace of my heart! O Fruit of my heart.” Angels will lose consciousness on hearing the cries of Fatima and the gathered people will call out, “O Fatima! May Allah kill those who martyred your son.” Allah will say, “I will take revenge from those who martyred Husain (a.s.) in front of your lovers, Shias and followers.” Fatima will be mounted on a mount of Paradise, having a beautiful forehead, white face, black eyes, head made of pure gold and neck made of amber. Its rein will be of green satins. It will be decorated with jewels and its saddle wrapped with divine light. There will be divine mercy in it. Its one step will be equal to a farsakh of this world. Seventy thousand angels will surround this mount and glorify the Lord of both this world and the hereafter saying Laa ilaaha illallaahu Allaahu akbar. A caller will call out from Divine throne: “O people! Lower your gaze; for this is Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad (s.w). She wants to pass by the Sirat Bridge.” Fatima and her followers will pass by the Bridge with great speed. The enemies of Fatima and her progeny will be thrown into Hell.
