Jabra`ǐl Shows the Land on Which Ĥusain عليه السلام Will Be Killed to the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم
6 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَائِذٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ سَالِمِ بْنِ مُكَرَّمٍ الْجَمَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ لَمَّا وَلَدَتْ فَاطِمَةُ الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) جَاءَ جَبْرَئِيلُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِص فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ تَقْتُلُ الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) مِنْ بَعْدِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ لَا أُرِيكَ مِنْ تُرْبَتِهِ فَضَرَبَ بِجَنَاحِهِ فَأَخْرَجَ مِنْ تُرْبَةِ كَرْبَلَاءَ وَ أَرَاهَا إِيَّاهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذِهِ التُّرْبَةُ الَّتِي يُقْتَلُ عَلَيْهَا
6. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali Al-Washā`, from Aḥmad ibn ‘Ā`idh, from Abī Khadījah Sālim ibn Mukram Al-Jammāl, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) said: When Fāťimah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم gave birth to Ḥusain عليه السلام, Jabra`īl came to the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and said, “Your nation will kill Ḥusain after you. Should I not show you some of his dust (the dust on which he will be killed)?” Then Jabra`īl hit the land of Karbalā with his wing, took some of its dust, showed it to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and said, “This is the dust on which he will be killed.”
