Tradition 1: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: Jibra’il came to Allah's Messenger (S) while Imam Al-Husayn ('a) was playing before him. Jibra’il told him that his Ummah would soon slay Husayn ('a).

Allah's Messenger (S) became much aggrieved by this.

Jibra’il said, “Would you like to see the land on which he will be slain?”

Just then the land between the place where Allah's Messenger (S) sat and the land on which Imam Al-Husayn ('a) was slain joined with each other. The Prophet took some dust from there and the earth returned to its position faster that a blink of an eye. The Prophet left saying:

“Tuba for you, O dust, and Tuba for those who will be slain upon you!”

Imam ('a) added: Companion and Vizier of Sulaiman ('a) also performed the same feat. That is with the help of the Great Name of Allah, the earth between Sulaiman's throne and the chair sank within the ground and the two pieces of land were attached. It seemed as if the chair came out from under the throne.

Imam ('a) says: Then the earth returned to its original position in less than a blink of an eye.

Tradition 2: Similar to no. 1.

Traditions 3, 4, 5 and 6: Same as no. 2.

Tradition 7: Ibn Abbas said: The angel who came to Muhammad (S) informing him about the slaying of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) was the Trustworthy Spirit, Jibra’il. He came to the Prophet with his wings spread out, weeping and wailing. He was carrying some dust of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) from which a musk-like fragrance emanated.

Allah's Messenger (S) asked, 'Will an Ummah that slays my son, achieve salvation?”

Jibra’il replied, “Almighty Allah will afflict them with disputes and their hearts will oppose each other.”

Tradition 8: Sulaiman (a narrator) asked: Was any angel left in heavens that did not come to Allah' s Messenger (S) to console him about his son, Imam Al-Husayn ('a), and to inform him of the reward of Imam Husai n ('a) with Allah? Was there any angel who did not go to Allah's Messenger (S) carrying some dust on which Imam:

Husayn ('a) was slain and on which he was abandoned?

Allah's Messenger (S) said, “O Allah, forsake those who forsake Husayn, kill those who kill him, slaughter those who slaughter him and do not fulfil their needs.”

Abdul Rahman (another narrator) said: By Allah, the cursed Yazid was soon taken by Allah for punishment, and he did not have any pleasure after slaying Imam Al-Husayn ('a). He spent the night drunk and was found dead and deformed in the morning as if coated with charcoal. All those who followed Yazid's order of slaying Imam Al-Husayn ('a) and all who participated in fighting the Imam ('a) lost sanity or were struck with leprosy which became hereditary in their descendants. Allah's curse be on them all.

Tradition 9: One morning Fatimah (‘a) saw Allah's Messenger (S) weeping and aggrieved. She asked, “What has upset you, O Allah's Messenger?” But the Prophet refused to tell her about it. Fatimah (‘a) said, “I will neither eat nor drink until you tell me.” So, the Prophet said, “Jibra’il brought me some dust of the land on which a son, who is not yet conceived, will be slain and this is that dust.” This incident was of the time when Fatimah (‘a) had not yet conceived Imam Husayn ('a).
