Descent of angels and predicting the end

Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Jurair bin Rustam Tabari Imami has narrated through his chains of narrators from Muhammad Waqidi and Zurarah bin Khalaj that: We met Imam Husain (a) three nights before his journey to Iraq and we pleaded with him not to place any trust on the people of Kufa. Their hearts are with you, but their swords are against you (so you don’t travel to Kufa).

Imam Husain (a) gestured upwards and the doors of the heavens opened and innumerable angels descended. Ima m Husain (a) said:

If I there had been no risk of losing the recompense, I would have fought them with the support of the angels. But I am very well aware that my companions and I would be slain there. No one, except my son, Ali Zainul Aabideen (a) would survive.
