The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said, “My nation will kill Ĥusain عليه السلام after me.”

1. My father and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan (ibn Aḥmad) ibn Walīd both narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā ibn ‘Ubayd, from Safwān ibn Yaḥyā, and from Ja’far ibn ‘Isā ibn ‘Ubaydillāh, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Ḥusain ibn Abī Ghundar, from someone who narrated to him, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) said: One day Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali عليه السلام was sitting on the Prophet’s lap. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم was playing with him and making him laugh when ‘Āyishah said, “O Messenger of Allāh! How intense is your admiration of this boy!” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم replied, “Woe onto you! How can I not love him and admire him when he is the fruit of my heart and the light of my eyes?! Verily my nation will kill him. Allāh will register the reward of one of my Hajj for those who go to his Ziyārah after his death.” “O Messenger of Allāh! One of your Hajj?” ‘Āyishah asked. “Yes, even two of my Hajj,” the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم replied. “O Messenger of Allāh! Two of your Hajj?” ‘Āyishah asked. “Yes, even four (of my Hajj),” the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم replied. ‘Āyishah kept on asking and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم kept on increasing the rewards until the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم counted (the reward of the Ziyārah of Ḥusain عليه السلام equal) to ninety of his Hajj as well as ninety of his ‘Umrah.
