Muharram Special - Part 15 [Battle of Karbala - Part 9]

DEEDAR-E-NABI صلى الله عليه و سلم  :

On the eve of the tenth of Muharram, Imam Hussain Radi Allahu Anhu made ibaadat for the entire night. In the third portion of the night, he became drowned in the remembrance of Allah. In this condition, he saw the Beloved Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam with an army of Angels. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam took him in his arms like a child and said;

" O the comfort of my heart! O the light my eyes! O Hussain! I know very well that the army have confronted you and they wish to martyr you. My Dear Son! You must let this time pass by being patient and making shukr. All those responsible for your martyrdom shall be deprived of my intercession on the day of Qiyaamat, and you are to receive  the very great status of martyrdom.

In a very little while, you will be freed of this difficult time. My dear son! Paradise has been adorned for you. Your parents are awaiting your arrival at the doors of Jannah." On saying this, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam placed his blessed hand on the chest of Imam Hussain and made the follwing Dua; 'O Allah! Bless my Hussain with patience and reward'"
