403 - (Elevated Hadith): Abu Bakr narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Ubayd narrated to me, saying: Sharhabil ibn Mudrik al-Ju'fi narrated to me from Abdullah ibn Najji, from his father, that he traveled with Ali (peace be upon him) who was the attendant of his purification. When he approached Ninawa while heading to Siffin, Ali called out: "Be patient, O Abu Abdullah, by the bank of the Euphrates." I said, "What is it, Abu Abdullah?" He replied: "I entered upon the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) while his eyes were overflowing with tears, and I said: O Messenger of Allah, what makes your eyes overflow? Has someone made you angry?" He said: "Rather, Gabriel (peace be upon him) stood up from me shortly before and
informed me that Husayn ibn Ali would be killed by the bank of the Euphrates. He then said: 'Would you like me to show you some of his soil?' I said: 'Yes,' so he extended his hand, gathered a handful of soil, and gave it to me. I could not help but my eyes overflowed with tears."
