Jabra`ǐl Shows the Land on Which Ĥusain عليه السلام Will Be Killed to the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم

7. My father narrated to me from Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali Al-Za’farāni, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Amr Al-Aslami, from ‘Amr ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Anbasah, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Amr, from his father, from Ibn ‘Abbās, who said: The angel who came to Muḥammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم informing him of the killing of Ḥusain عليه السلام was the Guardian Spirit, Jabra`īl. He came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم with his wings spread out, crying and screaming. He was carrying some of the dust of Ḥusain عليه السلام from which a fragrance emanated just as it does from musk. The Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم asked him, “Will a nation who kills my son – or the son of my daughter – achieve salvation?” Jabra`īl replied, “Allāh will afflict them with disagreements so their hearts will disagree with one another.” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: ‘Ubaydullāh ibn Faďl ibn Muḥammad ibn Hilāl, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Amīrah Al-Aslami, from ‘Amr ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Anbasah, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Amr, from his father, from Ibn ‘Abbās.
