La Récompense de Ceux Qui Pleurent sur Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.)

2. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Jāmūrāni, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Abī Ḥamzah, from his father, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: Crying and JAZA’ is MAKRŪH for the slaves (of Allāh) over any matter except crying and Jaza’ over Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.). Verily the one who cries and acts impatiently over Ḥusain (a.s.) will be rewarded.

J'ai entendu dire qu'il a dit : "Certes, pleurer et se lamenter sont détestables pour le serviteur dans tout ce qui le fait pleurer, sauf pour le pleurer et se lamenter sur Al-Husayn ibn Ali, car en cela il y a une récompense."

3. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz narrated to me from his uncle Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain Al-Zayyāt, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl, from Sāliḥ ibn ‘Uqbah, from Abī Hārūn Al-Makfūf, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said – as part of a longer Ḥadīth: Those who shed tears when Ḥusain (a.s.) is mentioned in front of them will be rewarded by Allāh Himself, even if their tears are as small as the wing of a fly. And Allāh will not be pleased with any reward for them less than Paradise.

Celui qui mentionne Husayn (as) en sa présence, des larmes sortent de ses yeux, une quantité équivalente à l'aile d'une mouche, et sa récompense revient à Allah, le Puissant et Majestueux, et il ne sera pas satisfait sans le Paradis.

4. Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd ibn Ḥukaym narrated to me from Salamah ibn Khaťťāb, from Bakkār ibn Aḥmad Al-Qassām, and from Ḥasan ibn ‘Abdil Wāḥid, from Makhūl ibn Ibrāhīm, from Rabī’ ibn Mundhir, from his father, who said: I heard ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain (Imam Sajjād (a.s.)) say: One who cries over us and sheds (even) one tear over us will be rewarded by Allāh for that tear; he will be made to dwell in rooms in Paradise where he will stay for long ages and long ages.

Celui dont les yeux versent une larme en pensant à nous, Allah lui assignera une chambre au Paradis où il résidera pour des générations et des générations. Mon père (qu'Allah ait pitié de lui) et un groupe de mes anciens cheikhs m'ont rapporté de Sa'd ibn Abdallah, d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad, de Hamza ibn Ali al-Ash'ari, de al-Hasan ibn Muawiya ibn Wahb, de celui qui lui a rapporté d'Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) qui a dit: Ali ibn al-Hussein (que la paix soit sur lui) disait et mentionnait un hadith similaire à celui de Muhammad ibn Ja'far al-Razzaz, de manière équivalente.

5. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Qurashi narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali, from Ibn Abī ‘Umayr, from ‘Ali ibn Mughīrah, from Abī ‘Umārah Al-Munshid, who said: Whenever Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) was mentioned in front of Abī ‘Abdillāh, Ja’far ibn Muḥammad (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) during the day, he would not be seen smiling on that day until nightfall.

Le nom de Husayn ibn Ali (que la paix soit sur lui) n'a jamais été mentionné devant Abu Abdullah Ja'far ibn Muhammad (que la paix soit sur eux) un jour sans qu'il ne soit vu souriant ce jour-là, jusqu'à la tombée de la nuit.

6. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibin Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from his father, from ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad ibn Sālim, from Muḥammad ibn Khālid, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ḥammād Al-Basri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān Al-Asam, from Misma’ ibn ‘Abdil Malik Kirdīn Al-Basri, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said to me, “O Misma’! You are from Iraq. Do you not go to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)?” I replied: No. I am well-known among the people of Basra and we have some people there who are the followers of the Caliph. We (also) have lots of enemies from among the tribes, NUSSĀB, and others. I do not feel safe, for they might report me to the son of Sulaymān (the governor of Kūfah) and they will torture me to act as a deterrent for others. Imam (a.s.) asked, “Do you not remember what was done to him (Ḥusain (a.s.))?” I replied, “Yes.” Imam (a.s.) asked, “Do you grieve impatiently (over Ḥusain’s tragedy)?” I replied, “Yes! I swear to Allāh (that I do)! I cry over (that which was done to him) so much that my family sees the effect (of my grief) over me. And I abstain from eating and its effects (also) appear on my face.” Imam (a.s.) said: May Allāh’s Mercy be upon your tears! Verily you are counted among those who grieve impatiently for us, those who are happy for our happiness and grieve over our grief, and those who are afraid when we are afraid, and feel safe when we feel safe. Verily when you die, my fathers (a.s.) will be there for you and they will be giving recommendations to the Angel of Death about you. Verily the glad tidings that they (my fathers (a.s.)) will give you will be a greater reward than this. Verily the Angel of Death will be more kind and merciful to you than a compassionate mother is to her son. Then the Imam (a.s.) started to cry and I cried with him. Then he (the Imam (a.s.)) said: Praise be to Allāh, who by (His) Mercy, gave preference to us and favoured us, the Ahlul Bayt, above (the rest of) His creation. O Misma’! Verily the earth and the heavens continuously cry for us, sympathizing with us since the day the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) was killed. And the number of angels who cry over us is even greater than this. The tears of the angels have never stopped since (the day) our killing began. Allāh will have mercy on whoever cries, sympathizing with that which was done to us, even before his tears fall from his eyes. (Verily) if one of the tears which runs on his cheeks were to fall over Hell, it would extinguish the (burning) heat of it in such a way that no heat would remain in it (at all). Verily those whose hearts ache for us will be pleased by seeing us at the time of their death in such a way that this pleasure will stay in their hearts until they meet us by the Pool (on the Day of Judgment). Verily (the Pool of) Kawthar will be delighted when one of our lovers comes to it and will serve him with various kinds of food to such an extent that he (the lover of the Ahlul Bayt (a.s.)) will not ever wish to leave (the Pool). O Misma’! Those who drink (even) one sip from the Pool will never feel thirsty again and they will never ask for (another) drink again. It is as cold as camphor, as fragrant as musk, and as tasty as ginger. It is sweeter than honey, softer than butter, more pure than a tear, and more aromatic than ambergris. It emerges from Tasnīm and it passes through the rivers of Paradise and flows over a riverbed made of pearl and corundum. The number of jugs in it is greater than the number of stars in the sky; they are made of gold, silver, and various kinds of gems. Its fragrance (the Pool of Kawthar) can be smelled from a distance of one thousand years and such great fragrances emanate from it onto the face of whoever drinks from it, that he will say, “I wish if I could have been left right here. I do not need anything other than this and I do not wish to be moved from here.” O son of Kirdīn! Verily you will be among those whose thirst will be quenched by it, and everyone whose eyes cried on us will be blessed by looking at Kawthar and will be given a drink from it. Verily the desires of those who love us more will be satisfied in a greater way, and they will feel more pleasure, and they will find the water from the Pool of Kawthar more tasty than those who love us less. Verily the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) will be standing by the (Pool of) Kawthar and he will have a stick made of boxthorn in his hand with which he will smash our enemies (in such a way) that one of our enemies will say, “I testify that there is no god but Allāh and Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allāh!” The Commander of the Believers (a.s.) will reply, “Go to your leader, so-and-so, and ask him to intercede for you.” The man will say, “My leader, whom you mentioned, dissociates himself from me.” The Commander of the Believers (a.s.) will reply, “Go back and ask the one whom you used to love, follow, and whom you preferred above the rest of creation to intercede for you since he was the best of creation in your eyes, for verily (only) the best of creation can intercede.” The man will say, “I am dying of thirst!” The Commander of the Believers (a.s.) will reply, “May Allāh increase your thirst and your need for water!” I (Misma’) asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! How can he (this enemy) even come close to the Pool when others cannot?” Imam (a.s.) replied: He stayed away from hideous acts and abstained from insulting us – the Ahlul Bayt – when we had been mentioned in his presence and he avoided some other (hideous) acts which others had dared to commit. However, none of this (abstaining from these evil deeds) was based on following us or loving us. Rather, it was based on his diligence in worship and in religious acts and based on being preoccupied with himself rather than talking about others. However, the heart (of such a person) is filled with hypocrisy and his religion is based on hating us, following those who incite hatred toward us, believing in the authority of those two people of the past, and giving preference to them over everyone else.

Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Ja'far al-Himyari a rapporté de son père, de Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Salim, de Muhammad ibn Khalid, de Abdullah ibn Hamad al-Basri, de Abdullah ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Asamm, de Misma ibn Abd al-Malik al-Kirdini al-Basri, qui a dit: Abu Abdullah (as) m'a dit: "Ô Misma, tu es parmi les habitants de l'Irak. Vas-tu visiter la tombe de Hussein (as)?" J'ai répondu: "Non, je suis un homme bien connu parmi les habitants de Basra, et chez nous, il y a ceux qui suivent les désirs de ce calife, et nos ennemis sont nombreux parmi les tribus des fraudeurs et d'autres, et je crains qu'ils ne déforment ma situation devant les descendants de Sulayman." Il m'a dit: "Alors, te souviens-tu de ce qui lui est arrivé?" J'ai dit: "Oui." Il a dit: "Alors, tu seras bouleversé." J'ai dit: "Oui, par Allah, et je réfléchis à cela jusqu'à ce que ma famille voie les effets sur moi, et je m'abstiendrai de manger jusqu'à ce que cela se manifeste sur mon visage." Que Dieu ait pitié de tes larmes. Certes, tu es parmi ceux qui sont comptés parmi les gens du chagrin pour nous, ceux qui se réjouissent de notre joie, qui sont attristés par notre tristesse, qui craignent quand nous craignons, et qui se sentent en sécurité quand nous sommes en sécurité. Certes, tu verras à ta mort la présence de tes ancêtres pour toi, et leur recommandation au Messager de la Mort pour toi, et ce qu'ils te donneront comme bonne nouvelle sera meilleur, et le Messager de la Mort sera plus doux envers toi et aura plus de miséricorde envers toi que la mère bienveillante envers son enfant. Puis il réfléchit et je réfléchis avec lui, puis il dit: "Louange à Dieu qui nous a préférés à Sa création par Sa miséricorde, et qui a spécialement choisi la famille du Prophète par Sa miséricorde. Ô Misma, certes la terre et les cieux pleurent depuis que l'Imam des croyants (as) a été tué, par miséricorde pour nous. Aucune larme n'a été versée pour nous par les anges plus que cela. Les larmes des anges n'ont pas cessé depuis que nous avons été tués. Personne n'a pleuré pour nous par miséricorde, sauf que Dieu lui ait fait miséricorde, avant même que la larme ne quitte son œil. Et quand ses larmes coulent sur sa joue, si une goutte de ses larmes tombait en enfer, elle éteindrait sa chaleur jusqu'à ce qu'il n'y ait plus de chaleur. Et certes, notre douleur est son cœur qui se réjouira le jour où il nous verra à sa mort, une joie qui ne quittera pas son cœur jusqu'à ce qu'il arrive au bassin. Et certes, al-Kawthar se réjouira de notre amour quand nous viendrons à lui, au point qu'il lui fera goûter des mets qu'il ne désirerait pas voir partir de lui. Ô Misma, celui qui boit de lui une gorgée ne ressentira plus jamais la soif après, ni ne cherchera à boire après, alors qu'il est dans la fraîcheur du camphre, l'odeur du musc et le goût du gingembre, plus doux que le miel, plus doux que le beurre, plus pur que les larmes, plus parfumé que l'ambre. Il sort de Tasnim et passe par les rivières du Paradis, coulant sur des lits de perles et de rubis, avec des coupes plus nombreuses que le nombre d'étoiles dans le ciel. Son parfum se fait sentir à mille ans de marche. Ses coupes sont en

7. My father narrated to me from Ḥusain ibn Ḥasan ibn Abān, from Ḥusain ibn Sa’īd, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Mughīrah, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān Al-Asam, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Bukayr Al-Arjāni, who said: I accompanied Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) (from Madīnah to Makkah) on a Hajj trip and I asked him, “O son of the Messenger of Allāh! If the grave of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) was to be disinterred, would anything be found in it?” Imam (a.s.) replied: O son of Bukayr! Your questions are (always) about great matters. Verily Ḥusain (a.s.) along with his father, mother, and his brother (a.s.) are with the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) in his house and they are being rewarded and sustained, (just) as the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) is. Verily Ḥusain (a.s.) is hanging on to the right side of the Throne and he says, “O my Lord! Fulfill Your promise to me.” Verily Ḥusain (a.s.) looks at those who go to his Ziyārah and he knows them and he knows their names, the names of their fathers, and that which they carry along with them even better than they know their own sons. Verily he looks at those who cry over him and he seeks forgiveness for them and asks his father (a.s.) to seek forgiveness for them. And he says to them (those who cry over him), “O those who cry (over me)! If you knew about that which Allāh has prepared for you, you would be more happy than you are grieved (over me).” Imam (a.s.) continued, “Verily Ḥusain (a.s.) seeks forgiveness for them for every sin and for every mistake.” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: My father, from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Zurārah, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān Al-Asam, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Bukayr, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.).

Ô fils du Messager d'Allah, si la tombe de Al-Husayn ibn Ali (que la paix soit sur lui) était creusée, serait-il trouvé quelque chose en elle ? Il a répondu: Ô fils de Bukayr, tes questions sont grandioses. Certes, Al-Husayn (que la paix soit sur lui) est avec son père, sa mère et son frère dans la demeure du Messager d'Allah (que la paix soit sur lui). Ils sont nourris et vêtus, et il y a une chaîne attachée à lui qui est suspendue au Trône, disant: "Ô Seigneur, accomplis pour moi ce que Tu m'as promis." Il regarde ses visiteurs et les reconnaît, ainsi que leurs noms, les noms de leurs pères, et ce qu'ils ont dans leurs bagages de leurs enfants. Il regarde ceux qui pleurent sur lui, demande pardon pour eux, demande à leur père de demander pardon pour eux, et dit: "Ô pleureur, si tu savais ce qu'Allah t'a préparé, tu te réjouirais plus que tu ne t'attristes. Il demande pardon pour lui de tout péché et faute."

8. Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd narrated to me from Salamah, from Ya’qūb ibn Yazīd, from Ibn Abī ‘Umayr, from Bakr ibn Muḥammad, from Fuďayl ibn Yasār, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: The sins of whoever cries, even as little as (the width of) the wing of a fly, when we are mentioned in front of him will be forgiven, even if his sins are greater than the scum in the sea. The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh, from his father, from Aḥmad ibn Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Barqi, from his father, from Bakr ibn Muḥammad, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.).

Celui dont nous sommes mentionnés en sa présence et dont les larmes coulent, même à la taille d'une aile de mouche [ou d'un moucheron], ses péchés seront pardonnés, même s'ils étaient aussi nombreux que l'écume de la mer. Muhammad ibn Abdullah a rapporté de son père, d'Ahmad ibn Abi Abdullah al-Barqi, de son père, de Bakr ibn Muhammad, de Abu Abdullah (as), un hadith similaire.

9. Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd narrated to me from Salamah ibn Khaťťāb, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali, from ‘Alā ibn Razīn Al-Qallā, from Muḥammad ibn Muslim, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) said: Any believer who cries over Ḥusain (a.s.) with (even) one tear running down his cheek will be rewarded by Allāh for that tear; he will be made to dwell in rooms in Paradise where he will stay for long ages.

Quiconque pleure pour la mort de Hussain (que la paix soit sur lui) une larme, jusqu'à ce qu'elle coule sur sa joue, Allah lui construira à travers elle des chambres au paradis où il résidera pour des éternités.

10. Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd narrated to me from Salamah, from ‘Ali ibn Sayf, from Bakr ibn Muḥammad, from Fuďayl ibn/and Faďālah, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Allāh has made it Ḥarām for Hell to burn the face of anyone who sheds tears (on us) when we are mentioned in his presence.

Celui pour qui nous sommes mentionnés et qui pleure, Allah interdit son visage au Feu.
