Words of the Commander of the Believers and Imam Ĥusain عليه السلام about His Martyrdom

9 حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ قَالَ وَ الَّذِي رُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ الْعَرْشُ لَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُوكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْحُسَيْنِ لَا يَنْقُصُونَ رَجُلًا وَ لَا يَزِيدُونَ رَجُلًا تَعْتَدِي بِهِمْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ كَمَا اعْتَدَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ وَ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ

9. Ḥasan (ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā) narrated to me from his father, from (his grandfather) Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Safwān ibn Yaḥyā, from Ya’qūb ibn Shu’ayb, from Ḥusain ibn Abil ‘Alā, who said: He said: I swear to He toward whom the Throne was ascended, (Allāh), that your father mentioned the companions of Ḥusain for me without one addition or reduction. This nation will assault the companions of Ḥusain just like the Banī Israel transgressed (the limits) on the Sabbath (the day of Saturday). The Day of ‘Āshūrā when Ḥusain was killed was (also) a Saturday.
