When
the Yazid army killed Imam Husayn (as), they cut his head and held it
in a box to take to Yazid. They stopped at a monastery in the middle of
the path. at midnight, the monk saw a wave of light emanating from the
head and reaching the heavens. He looked at them from above the
monastery and asked, “Who are you?” They replied, “We are associates of
Ibn Ziyad”. He asked, “Whose head is this?” and they replied, “It is of
Husayn, the son of Ali bin Abi Talib (as) and Fatemah (sa), the daughter
of the Prophet of Allah (S)”. He asked, “You mean your Prophet?” and
they replied in the affirmative. Hearing this he said, “You are among
the worst of men. If Maseeh (Prophet Isa) would have had a son, we would
have placed him upon our eyes”.
He continued, “Do
you desire anything, and could you do me a favor?” They asked as to what
was it, and he replied, “I have ten thousand Ashrafi with me, you may
take it and give me the head. Let it remain with me until the dawn, and
when you proceed further, take it back from me”. They replied, “We are
at no loss due to this”, saying this they handed the head over to him
and he gave them the Ashrafis in return.
The monk
washed the head, perfumed it and kept it upon his thigh and wept
profusely until it dawned. And when it dawned he said, “O head! I do not
have authority upon anything except myself. I bear witness that there
is no Deity except Allah and that your Grandfather is the Prophet of
Allah! You bear witness that I am your friend and a slave”. Then he
renounced the monastery and all that was therein, and entered the ranks
of the slaves of Ahlul Bayt (a.s) And her daughter, who was blind, was
healed by the intercession of Imam Husayn (a.s) and followed by Hazrat
Zeinab (sister of Imam Husayn (a.s)).
