1. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā ibn ‘Ubayd Al-Yaqťīni, from Muḥammad ibn Sinān, from Abī Sa’īd Al-Qammāť, from Ibn Abī Ya’fūr, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: One day the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) was in the house of Fāťimah (s.a.) and Ḥusain (a.s.) was sitting on his lap. Suddenly, the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) started to cry and fell in Sujūd. (After raising his head) he said: O Fāťimah, daughter of Muḥammad! (Allāh) the Most High, the Most Exalted just appeared to me in your house in the most beautiful form and appearance and asked me, “O Muḥammad! Do you love Ḥusain (a.s.)?” I replied, “Yes, he is the light of my eyes, the fruit of my heart, my flower (in this life), and the skin between my two eyes.” Allāh said: O Muḥammad! – and He placed His Hand on the head of Ḥusain (a.s.) – Blessed is this newborn baby upon whom I have sent My prosperity, blessings, mercy, and pleasure. My curse, wrath, chastisement, disgrace, and punishment are upon those who antagonize him, fight him, incite (the people) against him, and kill him. Verily he is the Master of Martyrs from the first to the last, in this life and in the Hereafter.
