His curse for Tamim bin Husain

Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a) said:

On Ashura day, Tamim bin Husain said to Imam Husain (a), “Husain look at the water of the Euphrates, how it is swelling and gushing and you won’t get a drop from it till you die.”

“Who is this fellow?” asked Imam Husain (a).

He was told that this was Tamim bin Husain.

Imam Husain (a) said,

“Both he and his father are inmates of Hell. O God, kill this fellow through thirst today only.”

This curse was soon fulfilled when this man was overcome by a sudden pang of thirst due to which he fell down from his mount and immediately he was trampled by the other horses of the army.

Amali, Saduq, Pg. 134.
