Imam Husain (a.s) speaks to Zuljana

Miracles of Masoomeen

Ibne Shahr Ashob has mentioned on the authority of Abi Mikhnaf and he in turn has quoted from Jaludi, who said: Awar Salmi and Amr bin Hajjaj Zubaidi embargoed the bank of Euphrates with a four-thousand-strong force. On the day of Ashura, when Imam Husain (a) was the sole survivor, he mounted his steed and attacked the guards of the Euphrates pushing them away from there. Then he took his horse into the water and said: I will not drink till you do so first. The horse did not drink the water as if he understood what the Imam said.

The Imam said: Drink it, I am also drinking it. And he took a handful. He had yet to bring it to his mouth when a man from the opponents said:

“Husain, you are drinking water here and soldiers have entered your camp.”

Imam Husain (a) threw down the water and attacked the enemies to drive them away from the camp, but when he reached there he saw that the camp was safe.

So I went to Asfan and thus passing each stage in turn, reached Mecca. I stayed there for some days and was engrossed in Tawaf and other devotions. One night, when I was doing the Tawaf, I noticed an extremely handsome and fragrant young man walking about and doing the Tawaf of the Kaaba. Some feelings arose in my heart; I moved towards him and touched him. He asked: Where do you belong to? I said: Iraq. He asked: Where in Iraq? I said: ...
