When they were passing by Ninawa, while he was en route to Siffin, Ali called out: 'Be patient, O Abu Abd Allah! Be patient, O Abu Abd Allah! at the bank of the Euphrates.' I said, 'Who is Abu Abd Allah?' He replied: 'I entered upon the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), and his eyes were overflowing with tears. I said, "O Prophet of Allah, has someone made you angry? What is the matter with your eyes?" He said: "No, rather Gabriel stood up from beside me and told me that Husayn will be killed by the bank of the Euphrates." He added, "Would you like me to let you smell his soil?" I said, "Yes." So he extended his hand, took a handful, and gave it to me. It did not mean that I could control my eyes from overflowing."' Ninawa: pronounced with a broken first letter, in the pattern of Ta'itawa, is an area in the outskirts of Kufa.

I said, "What is it, Abu Abdillah?" He replied, "I entered upon the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) one day, and his eyes were overflowing with tears." I said, "O Prophet of Allah, has someone made you angry? What is the matter with your eyes overflowing?" He said, "No, rather Gabriel stood up from beside me before and informed me that Husayn will be killed by the banks of the Euphrates." Then he said, "Is it acceptable for me to let you smell his soil?" I replied, "Yes," so he extended his hand, and Ibn Hamdan said: He extended his hand and took a handful of soil, giving it to me, and I could not help but have my eyes overflow with tears."

He replied, "I entered upon the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) one day, and his eyes were overflowing with tears." I said, "O Prophet of Allah, has someone made you angry? What is the matter with your eyes overflowing?" He said, "No, rather Gabriel stood up from beside me before and informed me that Husayn will be killed by the banks of the Euphrates."

- And it was narrated to us by Abu al-Muthaffar al-Qushayri, who said: Abu Sa'd Muhammad ibn Abdul-Rahman narrated to me, saying: Abu Umr ibn Hamdan narrated to me, from my father Ya'ya, who said: Shayban ibn Furukh narrated to us, from Imarah ibn Zadhran, from Thabit ibn Anas, who said: An angel of the kingdom (or realm) sought permission from his Lord to visit the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), and he was granted permission. It was on the day of Umm Salamah. The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said, "O Umm Salamah, keep the door closed; do not let anyone enter upon us." While she was at the door, Al-Husayn ibn Ali came, pushed open the door, and entered. The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) began to embrace him and kiss him. The angel said, "Do you love him?" He replied, "Yes." The angel then said, "Your nation will kill him. If you wish, I can show you the place where they will kill him." He answered, "Yes." So the angel gathered a handful of soil from the place where he would be killed and showed it to him, bringing back a small amount of reddish soil or dust. Umm Salamah took it and placed it in her shawl....
- From Abu Umamah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said to his wives, "Do not weep for this boy" (meaning Al-Husayn). It was the day of Umm Salamah when Gabriel descended and entered the house of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). He said to Umm Salamah, "Do not let anyone enter upon me." Al-Husayn came, and when he saw the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) in the house, he wanted to enter. Umm Salamah took hold of him, hugged him, and began to play with him to soothe him. When he became more insistent in his crying, she let him go, and he entered until he sat in the lap of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). Gabriel then said to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), "Your nation will kill this son of yours." The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) replied, "They will kill him while they are believers in me." Gabriel said, "Yes, they will kill him," and he took a handful of soil, saying, "From a place like this." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) came out, holding Al-Husayn, with a downcast expression, troubled and worried. Umm Salamah thought he was upset by the child's entry and said, "O Prophet of Allah, may I be your sacrifice! You told us not to weep for this boy and commanded me not to let anyone enter upon you. He came, and I let him go." But he did not respond to her. He went out to his companions, who were sitting, and said to them, "My nation will kill this one," pointing to Al-Husayn, "in the presence of Abu Bakr and Umar," who were the most daring of the people towards him. They both said, "O Prophet of Allah, will they kill him while they are believers?" He replied, "Yes, this is his soil," and showed it to them...

- Anas ibn Malik narrated: The angel of the rain requested permission from his Lord to visit the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), and He granted him permission. It was the day of Umm Salamah. The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said, "Umm Salamah, keep the door closed for us, so that no one can enter."

He came in and began to leap on the back of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), and the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) was kissing and embracing him.

- Abu Umamah narrated: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said to his wives: "Do not weep for this boy" (meaning Husayn). He said, "It was on the day of Umm Salamah when Gabriel descended and entered the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), who said to Umm Salamah: 'Do not let anyone enter upon me.' Then Husayn came, and when he saw the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) in the house, he wanted to enter, but Umm Salamah took hold of him, embraced him, and began to play with him and soothe him. When he began to cry more intensely, she released him, and he entered until he sat in the lap of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). Then Gabriel said to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), "Your ummah will kill this son of yours." The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) replied, "They will kill him while they are believers in me." Gabriel said, "Yes, they will kill him." Then Gabriel took some soil and said, "In a place like this." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) then left, holding Husayn, his mind clouded and worried. Umm Salamah thought he was upset about the child entering him and said, "O Prophet of Allah, may I be your ransom! You said to us, 'Do not weep for this boy,' and ordered me not to let anyone enter upon you. But he came, and I let him be.' The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) did not respond to her. He went out to his companions, who were sitting, and said to them, 'My ummah will kill this one,' and among the people were Abu Bakr and Umar, who were the boldest of them towards him. They said, 'O Prophet of Allah, will they kill him while they are believers?' He replied, 'Yes, this is his soil,' and he showed them the soil."

- Abdullah ibn Wahb ibn Zum'ah said: Umm Salamah narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) lay down one night and then woke up, angry, and returned to sleep. He woke up again, still angry - Abu Ghalib added: then he returned and woke up, still angry - and they both said: it was less than what you saw from him the first time. Then he lay down and woke up, holding some red soil, and I said, "What is this, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Gabriel informed me that my son will be killed in the land of Iraq, for al-Husayn."

Then he lay down and slept, woke up, startled, and in his hand was red soil that he was turning over, and his eyes were shedding tears. I said, "What is this soil, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Gabriel informed me that my son Husayn will be killed in the land of Iraq.

She said, so I sat by the door, and al-Husayn came, dressed in white, and I went to reach for him, but he surpassed me and entered. That is what she said. When he delayed in coming to me, I became worried that he might have sensed my displeasure, so I peeked out the door and saw the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) holding something in his hand, turning it over, while the boy was asleep on his stomach, and tears were streaming down. When he ordered me to enter, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, your son came, and I went to reach for him, but he surpassed me. When he delayed, I feared he might sense my displeasure." I looked out the door and saw you turning something in your hand, the boy asleep on your stomach, and tears streaming down." He said, "Gabriel brought me the soil on which he will be killed and informed me that my Ummah will kill him."

The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said to Umm Salamah: "Do not let anyone enter upon us." Then Husayn ibn Ali (peace be upon them) came and entered. Umm Salamah said: "It is Husayn." The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said: "Leave him." He began to climb onto the neck of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) and play with him while the angel looked on. The angel said: "Do you love him, O Muhammad?" He replied: "Indeed, by Allah, I love him." The angel said: "Indeed, your Ummah will kill him, and if you wish, I can show you the soil of the place where he will be killed." So he took a handful of the soil of his martyrdom, and Umm Salamah took the soil and stored it in her headscarf. They would see that this soil was from Karbala." Narrated in (Majma' al-Zawa'id wa Manba' al-Fawa'id, Vol. 9, p. 190, quoting al-Tabarani), and he said: "Its chain is good."
