*When Imam() had made his decision to leave Madina, he went to the grave of his brother Imam Hasan() with a very heavy heart. There he stayed for some time talking to his brother saying “O brother now your killers are after my blood. It looks like time for my martyrdom is near and I am leaving you now.”. I imagine that Imam Hasan() would have replied from his grave – O my brother I bid you farewell and give you my son Qasim to become your sadqa in Karbala.
After that Imam() went to the grave of his grandfather, the Holy Prophet Mohammad(sawaw). He stayed there for a long time and wept a lot until he went to sleep. He saw the Prophet(sawaw) in his dream and said to him “O my grandfather, my salutations to you. The land of Madina has become small for me. Tyrants among your ummah are after my blood and I am leaving Madina with a heavy heart”. Finally Imam Hussain() came to the grave of his mother Hazrat Fatima Zahra(s.a.). Historians write that Imam() ran towards her grave just like a child runs toward his mother and he fell on her grave just like a child falls in the lap of the mother. Imam() said “O my mother accept my last salam. I am leaving the land of Madina and would not come back. The prophecy of my grandfather is about to come true”. * *I imagine that Bibi Zahra(s.a.) would have said from her grave “O my beloved son, O the one whom I have raised by keeping awake in the night, I would not let you go alone. From this day I would not rest in my grave but I would accompany you throughout your journey.”* * * * * * * *Historians write that throughout the journey various people reported to Imam() that when everyone goes asleep during the night, we hear feminine voices of weeping and a bibi’s voice crying “Ya Hussain, Ya Hussain”. Imam() told them “O my trusted companions this is my mother Zahra() who is with me ever since I have left Madina”. * *يآ غَـــريب .. يآ حُــــسين .. يآ مَــظلووم .. يآ عــَطشآن * * * *لبيك يا حسين لبيك يا حسين لبيك يا حسين* * * * * * * * * * * * * -- * فبای الاء ربکما تکذبن.* * * -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "shiagroup" group.
