Qatīl al-Abarāt (Arabic: قَتیلُ العَبَرات) meaning "killed for tears" is among the titles of Imam al-Husayn (a).

It is also used as "Qatil al-'Abara". It has two meanings: that Imam al-Husayn (a) was a martyr whose remembrance brings tears to the eyes;[1] and shedding tears in his mourning brings rewards[2] and causes revival of Ashura.

This title is mentioned in hadiths of Shi'a Imams (a). Imam al-Husayn (a) himself said,

"I am killed for tears; no believer would mention me but his eyes would fill with tears."[3]

Also, in Ziyara Arba'in, Imam al-Sadiq (a) greets Imam al-Husayn (a),

"Peace be upon Husayn (a), the oppressed, the martyred; peace be upon the captive of griefs and killed for tears."[4]

This attribute is also mentioned for him in ziyaras, including, "and peace be upon Husayn (a), the rightly guided martyr, killed for tears and the captive of griefs."[5]
