Umm Salama: Difference between revisions

Before traveling to [[Karbala]], [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]] trusted the [[|Prophet (s)|Prophet's (s)]] standard and weapon as the [[Signs of Imams (a)]] to her to keep them safe. This shows her special position for the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]]. According to some reports, the Prophet (s) had given a little of the [[Turba of Imam al-Husayn (a)|soil of Karbala]] and she kept it in a glass. The Prophet (s) had told her that, "when you saw that this soil turned to blood, my son al-Husayn (a) is martyred. One day, she dreamt the Prophet (s) with a sad face and wearing dusty clothes and he (s) told her, "we are coming from the burial of the martyrs." She just woke up and went to that glass and found it bloody and learned that Husayn (a) was martyred. Then, she began crying and mourning and when neighbors came, she told them the story. This story is known as the [[Hadith of Qarura]].
