193 - Al-Husayn ibn Mansur narrated to us, saying: Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad Abu Ahmad narrated to us, saying: Isra'il ibn Yunus narrated to us, from Maysarah ibn Habib, from al-Manhal ibn Amr, from Zur ibn Hubaysh, from Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, who said: My mother asked me, "Since when have you been acquainted with the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)?" So I said to her, "For such and such a time." She became upset with me and cursed me. I said to her, "Leave me alone, for I am going to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) to pray the Maghrib prayer with him, and I will not leave him until he asks forgiveness for me and you." I prayed the Maghrib prayer with him, and he continued praying until the 'Isha' prayer. Then he turned away and I followed him. An occurrence befell him, and he was taken up and went away. I followed him and heard my voice. He said, "Who is this?" I replied, "Hudhayfah." He said, "What is it with you?" I told him about the situation, and he said, "May God forgive you and your mother. Did you not see the occurrence that befell me earlier?" I said, "Yes."
He said, "It was an angel from among the angels who had never descended to the earth before this night. He asked permission from his Lord to greet me with peace and gave me the glad tidings that Hasan and Husayn are the leaders of the youth of the people of Paradise," and that Fatimah is the foremost woman of the people of Paradise.
