He (Ibn Umar) said: "Where are you from?" He replied: "From Iraq." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Look at this man, he asks about the blood of a mosquito? (These people are so oppressive that) they martyred the grandson of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Indeed, Hasan and Husayn are my fragrant flowers from this world.'"

Khalid bin Ma'dan says that Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Ma'dikarib and Sayyiduna Amr bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with them) went to Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him).

He «إِنَّا لِلَّـهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ» said. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: "Do you consider this news a trial?" He said: "Why should I not consider this incident a trial and test, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) seated Hasan in his lap and said: 'Hasan is from me and Husayn is from Ali.'"

Abu Fakhitah narrates that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and spent the night with us. Hasan and Husayn were sleeping. (During the night) Hasan asked for water. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to our water-skin, drew water into a cup, and then brought it to give him to drink. (But instead of Hasan) Husayn tried to take the cup to drink, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not let him drink, and started with Hasan. Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! It seems that you love Hasan more? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not so, (in fact) Hasan asked for water first (therefore he has the right to drink first)." Then he said: "I, you, these two, and this one who is sleeping (Ali, may Allah be pleased with him) will be in one place on the Day of Resurrection." By these two, he meant the sons of Sayyidah Fatimah, Hasan and Husayn.

Narrated from Sayyidah Umm al-Fadl bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) that she came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I saw an ugly dream last night. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "What is it?" She said: It is very severe. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "What is it, after all?" She said: It seemed to me that a piece of your body was cut off and thrown into my lap. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "You have seen a good dream, (its interpretation is that) insha’Allah, my daughter Fatimah will give birth to a child who will be in your lap." Indeed, Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) gave birth to a child, Husayn, who was in my lap, just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had said. One day I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and placed Husayn in his lap. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) looked towards him, tears were flowing from his eyes. I said: O Prophet of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you, what has happened to you? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Jibril (peace be upon him) came to me and informed me that my Ummah will kill this son of mine." I said: This son (Husayn)? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Yes, and he brought me some red soil from that land."

Abdullah bin Naji narrates from his father that he was walking with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), carrying a vessel of water for purification. When they reached the place of Nainawa on their way to Siffin, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) called out: "Abu Abdullah! Stop, stop by the bank of the Euphrates River." I asked: "What is here?" He said: "One day I went to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and his eyes were filled with tears. I asked: 'O Messenger of Allah! Has someone angered you? Why are your eyes shedding tears?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: 'Before you came, Jibreel (Gabriel) had just left me. He informed me that Husayn will be killed by the bank of the Euphrates River.' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'He (Jibreel) said: Shall I let you smell the fragrance of its soil?' I said: 'Yes.' So he stretched out his hand, took a handful of soil, and gave it to me. I could not control myself and began to weep.'"
