كان عليٌّ بن الحسين (ع) يقول:
أيٌّما مؤمن دَمعت عيناه لِقتل
الحُسين (ع) ومَن معه حتَّى تسِيل
على خدَّيه بوَّأه الله في الجنة
غُرفاً
Every Mu'min, whose eyes shed tears upon the killing of Husayn
Ibn 'Ali (A.S.) and his
companions, such that the tears
roll down his cheeks, Allah
shall accommodate him in the
elevated rooms of Paradise.
Yanaabe'al‑Mawaddah, pg. 419.
قال عليٌّ بن الحُسين (ع):
إني لم أذكُر مصرَع بني فاطمة
إلاَّ خنقتني لذلك عبرةٌ
Surely, I have never brought to mind the martyrdom of the
children of Fatimah (A.S.)
except that I have been choked
with tears due to it.
Bihar al‑Anwar vol.
46, pg. 109.
Mourning in the Houses:
For those unable to go for the
ziarat of Imam Husayn (A.S.) on
the day of A'ashura, Imam Baqir
(A.S.) mentions the manner of
performing A'zadari as follows:
قال الباقر (ع):
ثُم ليَندُب الحُسين (ع) ويَبكيه
ويأمُر من في داره بالبُكاء عليه
ويُقيم في داره مُصيبته بإظهار
الجَزع عليه ويتلاقُون بالبُكاء
بعضُهم بعضاً في البُيوت
ولَيُعزِّ بعضهم بعضاً بمُصاب
الحُسين (ع)
He should mourn over Husayn (A.S.), weep for him and instruct the
members of the house to weep for
him. He should establish the
mourning ceremony in the house
by exhibiting lamentations and
grief over him; the people
should meet one another in their
homes and offer condolences and
consolation to each other over
the calamities which befell him.
Kaamil al‑Ziyaraat pg. 175
قال الباقر (ع):
مرَّ عليٌّ بكربلاء في اثنين مِن
أصحابه قال فلماَّ مرَّ بها
ترقرقت عيناه للِبُكاء ثم قال هذا
مناخُ ركابهم وهذا مُلقى رِحالِهم
وهاهُنا تُهراق دِماؤهم طُوبى لك
مِن تُربةِ عليكِ تُهراق دماء
الأحبَّة
Amirul Mu'mineen (A.S.), along with two of his companions,
happened to pass by Karbala’ and
as he did so, tears filled his
eyes. He said (to them), "This
is the resting place of their
animals; and this is where their
luggage shall be laid down; and
it is here that their blood
shall be shed. Blessed are you
O' Earth, that the blood of the
beloved shall be spilled upon
you."
Bihar al Anwar, vol:
98 pg. 258.
قال الباقر (ع):
ما مِن رجُل ذكرنا عنده يخرُج من
عينيه ماءٌ ولو مثل جناح البعُوضة
إلا بَنى الله له بيتاً في الجنة
وجعل ذلك الدَّمع حِجاباً بينه
وبين النار
He who remembers us, or in whose presence, we are remembered, and
(as a result) tears flow from
his eyes, even though they may
be in the measure of a wing of a
mosquito, Allah shall construct
for him a house in paradise and
make the tears a barrier between
him and the fire (of hell).
Al‑Ghadeer vol.
2, pg. 202.
قال الصادق (ع):
وأمَّا عليٌّ بن الحُسين (ع) فبكى
على الحُسين (ع) عشرين سنةً وما
وُضع بين يديه طعامٌ إلا بكى
`As for A'li Ibn al‑Husayn
(A.S.), he cried over Husayn
(A.S.) for twenty years (after
the tragedy of Karbala’); never
would any food be placed before
him except that he would begin
to weep.
Bihar al Anwar, vol
46, pg. 108
قال الصادق (ق):
فلمَّا مات إبراهيم ابن رسول الله
(ص) هُملت عينُ رسول الله (ص)
بالدُموع ثُم قال النبيُّ (ص)
تدمعُ العينُ ويََحزن القلبُ ولا
نقول ما يُسخِط الرَّب وإنا بِك
يا إبراهيم لمَحزُونُون
When Ibrahim, the son of the Holy Prophet (S) died, tears filled
the eyes of the Holy Prophet
(S.A.W), whereupon he said, "
The eyes
are tearful and the heart is
anguished (but) we shall not say
anything which shall anger the
Lord. Surely we, O' Ibrahim, are
grief‑stricken for you"
Bihar al‑Anwar vol:
22 , pg. : 157.
Tearful Eyes:
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said:
عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال:
مَن دُُكرنا عنده ففاضت عيناه
حرَّم الله وجهه على النارِ
He in whose presence we (and our miseries) are mentioned and, as
a result, his eyes pour out
tears, Allah shall make his face
forbidden upon the fire of hell.
Bihar al Anwar vol.
44, pg. 185.
Husayni Gatherings:
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said
to Fudhail:
قال الصادق (ع) للفضيل
تجلِسون وتُحدِّثون قُلت نعم قال
تِلك المجالس أحِبُها فأحيُوا
أمرنا رحِم الله مَن أحيا أمرنا
Do you sit together, talk and discuss amongst yourselves? Fudhail
replied: Yes. The Imam then
said: I approve of these
sittings. So keep our `issue'
(Imamate) alive. May Allah
exhibit mercy on those who
revive our issue and mission!
Wasail al‑Shiah , vol.
10, pg. 391.
Invaluable Tears:
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said (to Masma',
one of those who mourned over
Imam Husayn (A.S.):
قال الصادق (ع):
رَحِِمَ الله دمعَتك أما إنك مِن
الذين يُعدًًًًًًًًّون مِن أهل
الجَزع لنا والذين يَفرحون
لفَرحنا ويَحزنون لحُزننا أما إنك
سَتَرى عند موتِك حُضور أبائي لكَ
May Allah have mercy upon your tears! Do know that you are
regarded as being of those who
are deeply concerned about us
and of those who are happy at
our happiness and aggrieved at
our sorrow. Do know that you
shall witness the presence of my
father's near you at the time of
your death.
Wasail al‑Shia, vol., 10, pg. 397
