Hadith of the week
Imam al-Sadiq (a) said, "Indeed, Husayn ibn Ali (a) is with his Lord (the Almighty), looking at the place of his camp and those who encamped with him from the martyrs. He also looks at his visitors and knows their conditions, their names, their fathers' names, and their ranks and positions with Allah (Mighty and Majestic) better than one of you knows his own child. He sees those who weep for him and seeks forgiveness for them, and asks his forefathers (a) to seek forgiveness for those who weep for him. He says: 'If my visitor knew what Allah has prepared for him, his joy would be greater than his sorrow.' And indeed, his visitor returns without any sin upon him."
(Al-Amali by Shaykh al-Tusi)
BOOK UPDATE
— Second Edition —
Maqtal al-Husayn (a) - The Martyr of the Tear
Constructed from the Books of Shia Ahadith
This Maqtal narrates the tragedy of Karbala entirely through the ahadith of the Prophet and the Imams (as), as preserved in the books of Shia hadith, rather than through the historical works upon which most Maqtal accounts rely. This new edition draws on a far wider range of primary sources than before. Alongside al-Kafi, the three Amali, and Kamil al-Ziyarat, it now gathers narrations from Uyun Akhbar al-Ridha, al-Khisal, Ilal al-Shara'i, Kamal al-Din, Thawab al-A'mal, al-Mahasin, Tuhaf al-Uqul, Dalail al-Imamah, Maqatil al-Talibiyyin, and others.
Zayir UK is a charitable organization providing humanitarian aid to vulnerable communities in Lebanon and other conflict-affected areas. They deliver essential resources like food, shelter, medical care, and relief to families displaced by crises.
Narrated in al-Khisal, Imam Ali (asws) said,
“Those who know about oppression, who assist it and who are content with it are all partners in it.”
