The Martyrdom of Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali عليه السلام Revealed Through Jabra`ǐl

5 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ دَخَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ (ع) عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) وَ عَيْنَاهُ تَدْمَعُ فَسَأَلَتْهُ مَا لَكَ- فَقَالَ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ (ع) أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ أُمَّتِي تَقْتُلُ حُسَيْناً فَجَزِعَتْ وَ شَقَّ عَلَيْهَا فَأَخْبَرَهَا بِمَنْ يَمْلِكُ مِنْ وُلْدِهَا فَطَابَتْ نَفْسُهَا وَ سَكَنَتْ
5. My father and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan both narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Ibn Faďďāl, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Bukayr, from some of our companions, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) said: (Once) Fāťimah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم came to the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and saw that his eyes were filled with tears. She asked him, “What is upsetting you?” He replied, “Jabra`īl informed me that my nation will kill Ḥusain.” (When Fāťimah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم heard this), she became extremely grieved and restless. So the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم informed her of (the Imams from) her children who would reign. This (news) pleased her and relieved her.
