Muhammad Ibne Yaqub Kulaini has narrated from Husain Ibne Muhammad that Abu Kurayb and Abu Saeed Ashja narrated to him that Abdullah Ibne Idris narrated to them from his father, Idris Ibne Abdullah Awdi who has said the following:
“When Husain (a) was slain, the enemies wanted to trample his body with horses.
Hazrat Fizza said to Zainab, “My lady, Safina the slave of Messenger of Allah (s) was travelling in the sea when he had a shipwreck. He somehow landed on an Island and came face to face with a lioness, to which he said:
“O Abul Harith, I am the slave of the Messenger of Allah.”
The lioness murmured in front of him and showed him the way saying: “There lives a lion in this area allow me to go and inform him of what the people intend to do to Husain (a) tomorrow.”
The narrator says that Fizza went to the lion and said, “O Abu al-Harith, and the lion raised his head and she said, “Do you know what these people intend to do to Abu Abdullah (a)? They intend to make the horses run over his body...
Abul Harith emerged from his den and entered the battlefield and crouched near the body of Husain (a) covering it with his front paws. When the horsemen came they found the lion in that condition and Umar Ibne Saad told them, “This is a mischief. Do not bother and turn back,” and they turned back (and his body escaped trampling).
