- Muhammad Abdullah al-Hafiz narrated to me, saying: Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ali al-Jahiri informed us in Baghdad, saying: Abu al-Ahwass Muhammad ibn Haytham al-Qadi narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Mus'ab narrated to us, saying: al-Awza'i narrated to us from Abu Ammar Shu'dad ibn Abdullah, from Ummul-Fadl bint al-Harith, that she entered upon the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I saw a disturbing dream involving you last night. He said: And what is it? She replied: It is very serious. He said: And what is it? She said: I saw a piece of your body cut off and placed in my lap. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: You saw something good. Fatimah will, if Allah wills, give birth to a boy, and he will be in your lap. Fatimah gave birth to al-Husayn, and he was in my lap as the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) had said. One day, I entered upon the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and placed him in my lap, and then I turned my gaze for a moment, and I saw the eyes of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) shedding tears. She said, so I said: O Prophet of Allah, with my father and mother, what is the matter with you?
He said: Gabriel (peace be upon him) came to me and informed me that my Ummah will kill my son, and I said: This one? He replied: Yes, and he brought me a piece of soil from his soil that was red.- Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Abdān narrated to us, saying: Ahmad ibn Ubayd al-Saffar narrated to us, saying: Bishr ibn Musa narrated to us, saying: Abd al-Samad, meaning ibn Hasan, narrated to us, saying: Umarah, meaning ibn Zadhān, narrated to us from Thabit al-Bannani, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Angel of Rain requested permission to come to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), and he granted it to him. He said to Umm Salamah: Keep the door closed so that no one enters. Then al-Husayn ibn Ali came and jumped in until he entered, and he began to fall onto the shoulder of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
The angel said: Do you love him? The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: Yes. The angel said: Then your Ummah will kill him, and if you wish, I can show you the place where he will be killed. The Prophet (peace be upon him) then struck his hand and showed him a spot of red soil. Umm Salamah took it and tied it in the corner of her garment, and we began to hear that he would be killed in Karbala. This was likewise narrated by Shayban ibn Furukh from Umarah ibn Zadhān.
