R\u0101yyan bin Shabeeb, who says that I went to meet Im\u0101m Ali ar Rez\u0101 (a.s.) on the first day of the month of Moharram. Im\u0101m Rez\u0101 (a.s.) asked me,<\/p>\n
O son of Shabeeb! Are you in the state of fasting today\u201d?
\n\u201cThis is the day when Prophet Zakariyyah (a.s.) prayed to his Lord thus
\n\u201cLord grant me from unto Thee a good offspring, Verily Thou art the Hearer of Prayers\u201d<\/p>\n
Then All\u0101h accepted his Prayers and commanded His Angels to go and give him glad tidings regarding the birth of his son Prophet Yahy\u0101 (a.s.). The Angels came and called out to him while he was engaged in Prayers in the niche. Hence the one who fasts on this day and asks for his desires from All\u0101h, his prayer will be answered as was of Zakariy\u0101h.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then Im\u0101m (a.s.) said,<\/p>\n
\u201cO son of Shabeeb! Moharram is such a month that the Arabs of the age of ignorance (pre-Isl\u0101mic) too respected it\u2019s sanctity and forbade oppression and blood-shed in it. But these people (the umayyads) did not honour the sanctity of this month nor of their Prophet. In this month they killed the son of the Prophet and imprisoned the women-folk after looting and plundering their belongings, verily All\u0101h will never ever forgive this crime of theirs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cO son of Shabeeb! If you wish to mourn and lament over anyone, do so upon Husain bin Ali bin Abi T\u0101lib (a.s.) for he was beheaded like a lamb. Eighteen persons from among his family, who were unparalleled in the earth, were also killed alongwith him. The heavens and the earth lamented the death of Husain. Four thousand Angels descended from the heavens to aid him, but when they reached there they saw that he had already been mar-tyred. Thus, now they all remain near his blessed grave with disheveled hair covered with dust until the rising of the Qaem (Im\u0101m al Mahdi). Then they will all aid him and their slogan will be: Vengeance for the blood of Husain.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cO son of Shabeeb! My father (Im\u0101m Moos\u0101 al Kazim) has related from his father (Im\u0101m Ja\u2019far as S\u0101diq), who has related from his grandfather (Im\u0101m Ali Zainul \u0100bedeen), that when my grandfather Im\u0101m Husain (a.s.) was mar\u00actyred, the sky rained blood and red sand.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cO son of Shabeeb! If you weep over the afflictions of Husain (a.s.) such that tears flow from your eyes and fall upon your cheeks, All\u0101h will forgive all your sins whether big or small and less or large in number.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cO son of Shabeeb! If you desire to meet All\u0101h the Glorified in a state purified of all sins, then go for the pilgrimage to the grave of Im\u0101m Husain (a.s.).\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cO son of Shabeeb! If you desire that you may abide in the palaces of Paradise in the company of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) and his Progeny, then invoke All\u0101h\u2019s curse upon the murderers of Im\u0101m Husain (a.s.).\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cO son of Shabeeb! If you desire to earn the reward of those who were martyred alongwith Im\u0101m Husain (a.s.), then whenever you remember him, say: I wish I had been with them, then I too would have attained the Great Triumph.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cO son of Shabeeb! If you desire to reside in the exalted status of Para\u00acdise alongwith us, then bemoan our sorrows and sufferings and rejoice in our happiness and remain attached to our love. For even if a person is attached to a stone in this world, All\u0101h shall make him arise with it on the day of Qiy\u0101mah.\u201d<\/p>\n
