83. ﻟﻌﻨﺖ ﺑﺮ ﻗﺎﺗﻼن اﻣﺎم ﺣﺴﯿﻦ ﻋﻠﯿﻪ اﻟﺴﻼم

ﯾﮑﯽ از ﻋﻠﻤﺎي ﺧﻮي از ﻣﺮد ﺻﺎﻟﺤﯽ ﻧﻘﻞ ﻣﯽ ﮐﻨﺪ ﮐﻪ ﺷﺒﯽ در ﻋﺎﻟﻢ روءﯾﺎ ﺑﻪ ﻣﺤﻀـﺮ ﻣﻘﺪّس اﻣﺎم ﺣﺴـﯿﻦ ﻋﻠﯿﻪ اﻟﺴـﻼم ﻣﯽ رﺳﺪ و ﻋﺮض ﻣﯽ ﮐﻨﺪ: در ﮔﺬﺷﺘﻪ ﮐﻪ ﭼﺎي ﻣﻌﻤﻮل ﻧﺒﻮد، ﻣﺮدم ﭘﺲ از ﻧﻮﺷﯿﺪن آب ﺑﻪ ﯾﺎد ﺗﺸﻨﮕﯽ ﺷﻤﺎ اﻓﺘﺎده، ﺑﺮ ﻗﺎﺗﻼن ﺷﻤﺎ

ﻟﻌﻦ ﻣﯽ ﮐﺮدﻧﺪ و ﺑﻪ ﺛﻮاب ﺑﺰرﮔﯽ ﻧﺎﯾﻞ ﻣﯽ ﺷﺪﻧﺪ. اﮐﻨﻮن ﻣﺼﺮف آب ﮐﻢ ﺷﺪه و از آن ﻓﯿﺾ ﺑﺰرگ ﻣﺤﺮوم ﺷﺪه اﯾﻢ. ﺣﻀﺮت ﻣﯽ ﻓﺮﻣﺎﯾﺪ:

83. Cursing the killers of Imām Ḥusain (a.s.)

A scholar from Khoy narrated from a righteous man who said that one night in a dream, he was granted the honor of appearing before Imām Ḥusain (a.s.). He said to the Imām:

“In the past, when tea was not commonly available, people used to remember your thirst after drinking water and would curse your killers, and through that, they would attain great reward. But now, with the decrease in water consumption, we have been deprived of that great blessing.”

The Imām replied:

“It makes no difference—after consuming any drink that quenches thirst, remembering us brings reward and merit.”

In the early days after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a well-known Azeri preacher residing in Qom traveled to Azerbaijan. Upon returning, he said:

“For seventy years (from Stalin's time until the fall of the Soviet Union), God was forgotten in Russia—but Imām Ḥusain (a.s.) was never forgotten.”
