اشاره

مقصد دوم: در آنچه به آن حضرت عطا شده است از انبياء عموما، و آن چند چيز است: يكي آنكه جميع انبياء زيارت مدفن آن جناب را كرده‌اند، چنانكه در حديث است كه هيچ پيغمبري نبوده مگر اين كه به زيارت كربلا آمده [1321] ، و كسي كه به زيارت در ظاهر نرفته در شب معراج به آنجا رفته، چنانكه حضرت پيغمبر(صلي الله عليه و آله) فرمود كه: در شب معراج مرا بردند به موضعي كه آن را كربلا مي‌نامند، پس نمودند به من مصرع حسين را. [1322] .دوم: از براي ايشان هميشه اوقات مخصوصي است كه همه‌ي ايشان به زيارت او مي‌روند مانند شب قدر و شب نيمه‌ي شعبان. [1323] .

Concerning the Special Characteristics of That Noble One (a.s.) in Relation to All the Prophets

Introduction

Objective Two:

Concerning that which has been bestowed upon that Noble One (a.s.) from the Prophets in general, and it consists of several matters:

First: All the Prophets visited the place of his burial.

As it is reported in the tradition that there was no Prophet except that he came to visit Karbala. [1321]

And whoever did not go there outwardly, went there on the Night of Ascension (Me'araaj).

As the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said:

“They took me on the Night of Ascension to a place called Karbala, and they showed me the place where al-Imam Husain (a.s.) would be slain.” [1322]

Second: There are specific times during which all the Prophets go to visit him, such as the Night of Decree (laylah al-Qadr) and the night of the fifteenth of Shaʿban (laylah al-nisf min Shaa'abaan).
