113. Souls Visit Imam Husayn's Tomb On The Night Of Power
He also narrated that on 23rd night of Ramadhan, I was engrossed in night vigil and rituals of the Night of Power on the terrace. Suddenly I felt exhausted and loss self-consciousness. In that condition I felt that the whole upper layer of the atmosphere was crowed and some voices could be heard. I asked one of the voices, which was familiar and closer to me: Who are you? It replied: I am Jibraeel. I asked: What is happening tonight? He replied: Lady Fatima ('a) is going for the Ziyarat of the tomb of Imam Husayn ('a) along with Lady Asiya, Lady Maryam, Lady Khadija ('a) and Umm Kulthum, and this is a crowd of the souls of the prophets and angels.
I said: For the sake of Allah, take me long with you. He replied: Your Ziyarat is accepted from this place only and it is your good fortune that you were able to witness this scene.
The author says: In fact the Haji was extremely devout and was deeply in love of the chief of martyrs and this was apparent because whenever he mentioned the name of Imam Husayn ('a) he wept and wailed uncontrollably and was unable to talk for quite some time. He used to say: I don't have the strength of narrating the calami ties of the Imam.
