'''Hurr hears a Call''' | |||
It has been narrated from Hurr that: "upon my departure from the palace of Ibn Ziyad to confront al-Husayn b. 'Ali (a), I heard a call from behind, repeating for three times: "O' Hurr! Glad tidings for paradise be for you." Hurr continues: "I looked back but couldn't see anyone, and thought: By God this is not a glad tiding; how can it be glad tidings while I am on my way to a war with Husayn b. 'Ali (a)?" Hurr kept this incident in mind and when he joined the camp of Imam al-Husayn (a), told this story to the Imam, Imam al-Husayn (a) said: "you have been directed to goodness and reward." | |||
