Importance of Weeping for Imam Husain (a.s.)

O son of Shabeeb! If you wish to weep over something

Then weep for Husain Ibn Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.s.)

For indeed he was slaughtered like a lamb is slaughtered

And 18 men from his family were martyred along with him, the likes of whom this earth has not seen

And indeed the seven heavens and the earths wept over his martyrdom

And indeed, 40000 angels had descended on the earth for his help

But they found him (already) martyred

And since then they are at his grave, with their hair disheveled, filled with dust until the rise of the Qaem viz. Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) and will be among his helpers

And their slogan is “Revenge for the blood of Husain (a.s.)”

O son of Shabeeb! If you weep for Husain (a.s.) such that your tears roll over your cheeks

Allah shall forgive all sins which you would have committed

Whether they (the sins) are small or big, few or many

O son of Shabeeb! If you wish to meet Allah, Mighty and Majestic be He, such that there is no sin upon you

Then visit (perform Ziyaarah) of Husain (a.s.)

O son of Shabeeb! If you wish to stay in a lofty place in Paradise alongside the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)

Then curse the killers of Husain (a.s.)
