Weeping for Imam Husain (a.s.)
It is an action by which we can fulfill the rights of
Imam-e-Zamana (a.s.) and there is no doubt that fulfillment
of the rights of Imam-e-Zamana (a.s.) is a medium of
achieving the nearness of Allah. Ja'far ibne Muhammad
ibne Qooloolay (r.a.) narrates from Imam Sadiq (a.s.) a
lengthy tradition on the merits of weeping upon Imam
Husain (a.s.): "No eye or tear is more liked by Allah than
the eye that weeps on him (Imam Husain a.s.). No one
weeps for him except that he has recompensed Janabe
Fatimah Zahra (s.a.) and helped her the mourning. He has
presented a gift to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w..s.) and
fulfilled my right. Everyone shall raised in Qiyamant
weeping except those who weep on my oppressed forefather
Imam Husain (a.s.). Because their eyes will be shining. He
would be given the good news and his joy will be apparent
from his facial expression. All the creatures would be
dreading their consequences except those who had wept on
Imam Husain (a.s.). They shall be in absolute security. All
the people will gather on the plains of Mahshar but these
people shall be standing under the shade of the Arsh
(throne) conversing with Imam Husain (a.s.). They shall
not be fearful of the rigorous strictness of the day of
accounting. They would be told to enter Paradise but
would not do so. They would prefer the company of Imam
Husain (a.s.) to Paradise. The Houries of Paradise would
be sending messages to them that they are waiting for these
people, however, they would be so enchanted by the
conversation of Imam Husain (a.s..) that would not pay
heed to the Houries."
(Kamil-uz-Ziyaraat Pg. 81)
The phrase "fulfilled my right" indicates that weeping
for Imam Husain (a.s.) is an act that fulfills the rights of
Imam-e-Zamana (a.s.) and the other holy Imams (a.s.). The
reason for this is probably participation in their grief
implies the fulfillment of mutual rights of believers.
