Azadari in Ahadith
The Inferno of Husayni
Love
قال النبيٌُّ (ص):
إن لقتل الحُسين حرارةٌ في قلوب
المؤمنين لا تبرد أبداً
The Holy Prophet (S) said: Surely, there exists in the hearts of
the Mu'mineen, with respect to
the martyrdom of Husayn (A.S.),
a heat that never subsides.
A'ashura ‑ A Day of
Grief
Imam Ridha’ (A.S.) said:
قال الرضا (ع):
مَن كان يوم عاشوراء يوم مُصيبته
وحُزنه وبُكائه يجعل الله عزَّ
وجل يوم القيامة يوم فرحه وسروره
The one for whom the day of A'ashura is a day of tragedy, grief
and weeping, Allah The Mighty,
The Glorious, shall make the Day
of Judgment, a day of joy and
happiness for him.Bihar al‑Anwar, vol. 44, pg. 284
Muharram ,The Month of
Mourning
Imam Ridha’ (A.S.) said:
قال الرضا (ع):
كان أبي (ع) إذا دخل شهر
المُحرَّم لا يُرى ضاحِكاً وكانت
الكابة تغلب عليه حتَّى تمضي عشرة
أيَّام فإذا كان يوم العاشر كان
ذلك يوم مصيبَته وحُزنه وبُكائه
With the advent of the month of Muharram, my father Imam Kadhim
(A.S.) would never be seen
laughing; gloom and sadness
would overcome him for (the
first) ten days of the month;
and when the tenth day of the
month would dawn, it would be a
day of tragedy, grief and
weeping for him.
Laughing Eyes
The Holy Prophet (S) said:
قال النبيُّ (ص):
يا فاطمة كلُّ عينٍ باكية يوم
القيامة إلاَّ عينٌ بكَت على
مُصاب الحُسين (ع) فإنها ضاحِكة
مُستبشرة بنعيم الجنة
O' Fatimah! Every eye shall be weeping on the Day of Judgment
except the eye which has shed
tears over the tragedy of Husayn
(A.S.) for surely, that eye
shall be laughing and shall be
given the glad tidings of the
bounties and comforts of
Paradise.
Reward of the Martyred
Companions
قال الرضا (ع):
إن سرَّك أن يكون لك من الثواب
مِثلُ ما لمَن استُشهد مع الحُسين
فقُل متى ما ذكرته يا ليتني كُنت
معهم فأفوز فوزاً عظيما
Imam Ridha’ (A.S.) said (to one of his companions): If you desire
that for you be the reward
equivalent to that of those
martyred along with Husayn
(A.S.), then whenever you
remember him say: ' Oh! Would
that I had been with them! A
great achievement would I have
achieved'.
Wasaail al‑Shia'h, vol.
14, pg. 501.
The Customary Mourning
Abu Haroon al‑Makfoof said:
عن أبي هارون المكفُوف قال دخلتُ
على أبي عبد اللهِ فقال لي
أنشِدني فأنشدتُه فقال لا كما
تُنشدون وكما ترثِيه عند قبرهِ
فأنشدتهُ
I presented myself before Imam Sadiq (A.S.) whereupon he said to
me: "Recite for me a poetry"and
so I recited for him. He said "Not
in this manner. Recite for me as
you recite poems and elegies
over the grave of Husayn (A.S.)"
and so I recited for him
(again).
Reward for Reciting
Poetry about Husayn (A.S.)
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said:
قال الصادق (ع):
ما مِن أحد قال في الحُسين شِعراً
فبكى وأبكى بِه إلاَّ أوجب الله
له الجنَّة وغفر لهُ
There is none who recites poetry about Husayn (A.S.) and weeps
and makes others weep by means
of it, except that Allah makes
Paradise incumbent upon him and
forgives his sins.
People of Eulogies and
Elegies
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said:
فقال الصادق (ع):
الحمد لله الذي جعل في الناس مَن
يفِد إلينا ويمدحُنا ويرثِي لنا
All praise is for Allah, who has placed amongst the people, those
who arrive in our presence,
eulogizing us and reciting
elegies about us.
Poetry Recitation During
the Period of Mourning
Imam Ridha’ (A.S.) said (to De'bil, a poet sincerely devoted to
the Ahlul Bayt):
قال الرضا (ع):
أُحب أن تُنشدني شعراً فإنَّ هذه
الأيام أياَّمُ حُزنٍ كانت علينا
أهل البيتِ
I desire that you recite for me poetry, for surely, these days
(of the month of Muharram) are
the days of grief and sorrow,
which have passed over us, Ahlul
Bayt.
Shiites, The Companions
and Associates
Imam 'Ali (A.S.) said:
قال عليٌّ (ع):
إنَّ الله اختار لنا شيعةً
ينصُروننا ويَفرحون لِفرحِنا
ويحزنون لِحُزنِنا
Surely, Allah has chosen for us followers (Shiites), who assist
us and are happy at our
happiness and are sad in our
sadness.
