در بهشت مرثيه خوان حوريه و...

مجلس دوم: در بهشت مرثيه‌خوان حوريه و مستمع پيغمبر (صلي الله عليه و آله) خدا و جبرئيل، چنانكه در بحار روايت شده است از حضرت خاتم انبياء كه فرمود: در شب معراج جبرئيل دست مرا گرفت و به بهشت داخل نمود و من به سرور بودم پس ديدم درختي را از نور كه در زير آن دو ملك مشغول بودند به درست كردن زيور و حله تا روز قيامت، پس پيش رفتم ديدم يك نوع سيب كه بزرگتر از آن نديده بودم پس يك دانه از آنرا گرفتم و شكافتم ناگاه حوريه از آن ظاهر شد كه مژگانش مانند اطراف بال نسر بود، پس گفتم تو از كيستي؟ گريست و گفت: من از آن فرزند مظلوم تو حسين بن علي (عليه‌السلام) هستم. [605] .

In Paradise, the Mourning of the Houri and...

The second gathering took place in Paradise. The reciter of the elegy was a ḥūrī, and the listeners were the Prophet (s.a.w.a.), Allah, and Jibrāʾīl.

As narrated in Biḥār al-Anwār from the Seal of the Prophets (s.a.w.a.), he said:

“On the night of Miʿrāj, Jibrāʾīl took my hand and brought me into Paradise. I was filled with joy. Then I saw a tree of light, beneath which two angels were occupied in preparing ornaments and garments until the Day of Judgment.

I went forward and saw a type of apple the like of which I had never seen before. I took one of those apples and split it open. Suddenly, a ḥūrī emerged from it, whose eyelashes were like the tips of an eagle’s wings.

I asked her:

‘To whom do you belong?’

She began to weep and said:

‘I belong to your madhloom son, Imam Husain (a.s.) ibn ʿAlī (a.s.).’” [605]
