His vision of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a) after removal of curtains

It is mentioned in Thaqibul Manaqib that when Imam Husain (a) decided to move to Iraq, Jabir Ibne Abdullah Ansari approached him and said,

“You are the son of Messenger of Allah (s) and the grandson of Prophet; it is my advice to you to sign armistice like your brother. Your brother was helped by God and given a good sense by him.”

Imam Husain (a) said,

“Whatever my brother did was according to the instructions of Messenger of Allah (s) and whatever I also do would also be according to the commands of Prophet. If you want, I can show you my grandfather, father and brother in order to assure of the validity of my conduct.”

Jabir says that when he looked at the sky under the direction of the Imam, the door of the sky opened and the Messenger of Allah (s), Imam Ali (a), Hasan and Zaid emerged; they descended to the Earth and sat down. “I was bewildered to see that,” says Jabir.

Messenger of Allah (s) said, “Jabir, before Husain’s issue, I had told you at the time of Hasan’s treaty that you cannot become a believer till you submit to the commands of your Imams and refrain from objections. So, do you want me to show you the place of Muawiyah and Yazid and also the place of Husain?”

“Yes,” I said, “O Messenger of Allah (s).”

The Holy Prophet (s) kicked at the earth and a fissure was created and an ocean became visible. Then that also split and land appeared. It also split. In this manner seven oceans and seven lands split and below them all was nothing but fire and in the blazing pit of fire was Walid bin Mughira, Abu Jahl, Muawiyah, Yazid and other guilty satans tied up in a single chain; and they were involved in the worst kind of chastisement.

Then Messenger of Allah (s) said, “Look up now.”

When I looked up doors of the sky opened and I could see Paradise. I saw Messenger of Allah (s) and his companions head for the heavens. When they reached the atmosphere they called out to Imam Husain (a),

“You also join us, dear.”

Jabir said: Imam Husain (a) joined them. Then Messenger of Allah (s) held the arm of Imam Husain (a) and said to me:

“Jabir, my son would stay here with me. You must accept his command and don’t doubt it at all, lest you no longer remain a believer.”

Jabir says: May God blind me if I have resorted to falsehood in whatever I have narrated.
