Jabra`ǐl Shows the Land on Which Ĥusain عليه السلام Will Be Killed to the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم
4 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ الْخَزَّازِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (ص) كَانَ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَ عِنْدَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ (ع) فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْحُسَيْنُ (ع) فَقَالَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ إِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ تَقْتُلُ ابْنَكَ هَذَا أَ لَا أُرِيكَ مِنْ تُرْبَةِ الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي يُقْتَلُ فِيهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) نَعَمْ فَأَهْوَى جَبْرَئِيلُ (ع) بِيَدِهِ وَ قَبَضَ قَبْضَةً مِنْهَا فَأَرَاهَا النَّبِيَّ ص
4. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn Walīd Al-Khazzāz, from Ḥammād ibn ‘Uthmān, from ‘Abdil Malik ibn A’yan, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) say: (One day) when Jabra`īl was with the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم in the house of Um Salamah, Ḥusain عليه السلام entered. Jabra`īl said, “Verily your nation will kill this son of yours. Should I not show you the dust of the land on which he will be killed?” The Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم replied, “Yes.” Therefore, Jabra`īl extended his hand (to the land on which Ḥusain عليه السلام would be killed), took a handful of that dust, and then showed it to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم
