Punishment of those who martyred Imam Husain عليه السلام
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ زِیَادٍ الْقَنْدِیِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ عَنْ عِیصِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ: ذُکِرَ عِنْدَ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَاتِلُ الْحُسَیْنِ ع فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ کُنْتُ أَتَمَنَّی أَنْ یَنْتَقِمَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ فِی الدُّنْیَا قَالَ کَأَنَّکَ تَسْتَقِلُّ لَهُ عَذَابَ اللَّهِ وَ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَشَدُّ عَذَاباً وَ أَشَدُّ نَکَالًا مِنْهُ.
1. My father رحمه الله said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ya’qub b. Yazid from Ziyad al-Qandi from Muhammad b. Abi Hamzah from Ees b. al-Qasim who said: The discussion of the killer of Imam Husain عليه السلام was going on with Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام. A companion expressed his wish saying that Allah should take revenge from the killer in this world itself. Imam عليه السلام told him, “In this way, you are reducing the punishment of Allah while it is very severe and painful.”
