Fasting on the day of Ashura.
After the Battle of Karbala, Banu Umayya (the Umayyads) regarded this day as a blessed day by storing their annual food supplies, congratulating each other, wearing new clothes, and fasting; as it is said in Ziyarat al-'Ashura: "O Allah, this day has been regarded as a blessed day by Banu Umayya".
Shi'a Imams have ordered not to fast during 'Ashura. They advised Shi'a not to eat or drink except for a small amount before the sunset so it would not be terminological fasting.
Fasting on Ninth of Dhul Hajjah and on Tenth of Muharram Al-Kāfi - Volume 4 Book 2, Chapter 61
7ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ صَوْمِ تَاسُوعَاءَ وَعَاشُورَاءَ مِنْ شَهْرِ الْمُحَرَّمِ فَقَالَ تَاسُوعَاءُ يَوْمٌ حُوصِرَ فِيهِ الْحُسَيْنُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَأَصْحَابُهُ رَضِيَ الله عَنْهُمْ بِكَرْبَلاءَ وَاجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ خَيْلُ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ وَأَنَاخُوا عَلَيْهِ وَفَرِحَ ابْنُ مَرْجَانَةَ وَعُمَرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ بِتَوَافُرِ الْخَيْلِ وَكَثْرَتِهَا وَاسْتَضْعَفُوا فِيهِ الْحُسَيْنَ صَلَوَاتُ الله عَلَيْهِ وَأَصْحَابَهُ رَضِيَ الله عَنْهُمْ وَأَيْقَنُوا أَنْ لا يَأْتِيَ الْحُسَيْنَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) نَاصِرٌ وَلا يُمِدَّهُ أَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ بِأَبِي الْمُسْتَضْعَفُ الْغَرِيبُ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَأَمَّا يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ فَيَوْمٌ أُصِيبَ فِيهِ الْحُسَيْنُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) صَرِيعاً بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِهِ وَأَصْحَابُهُ صَرْعَى حَوْلَهُ عُرَاةً أَ فَصَوْمٌ يَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ كَلاَّ وَرَبِّ الْبَيْتِ الْحَرَامِ مَا هُوَ يَوْمَ صَوْمٍ وَمَا هُوَ إِلاَّ يَوْمُ حُزْنٍ وَمُصِيبَةٍ دَخَلَتْ عَلَى أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ وَأَهْلِ الأَرْضِ وَجَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَيَوْمُ فَرَحٍ وَسُرُورٍ لابْنِ مَرْجَانَةَ وَآلِ زِيَادٍ وَأَهْلِ الشَّامِ غَضِبَ الله عَلَيْهِمْ وَعَلَى ذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ بِقَاعِ الأَرْضِ خَلا بُقْعَةِ الشَّامِ فَمَنْ صَامَهُ أَوْ تَبَرَّكَ بِهِ حَشَرَهُ الله مَعَ آلِ زِيَادٍ مَمْسُوخُ الْقَلْبِ مَسْخُوطٌ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنِ ادَّخَرَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ ذَخِيرَةً أَعْقَبَهُ الله تَعَالَى نِفَاقاً فِي قَلْبِهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَاهُ وَانْتَزَعَ الْبَرَكَةَ عَنْهُ وَعَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَوُلْدِهِ وَشَارَكَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فِي جَمِيعِ ذَلِكَ.
7. It is narrated from him (narrator of previous Hadith) from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Aban from ‘Abd al-Malik who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s), about the fast on the day of ‘Ashura’ of the month of Muharram. He (the Imam) said, ‘Tasu‘a’ (ninth of Muharram) was the day when they had surrounded al-Husayn (a.s), and his friends, may Allah be pleased with them, in Karbala’. The horsemen of al-Sham had come together against him (a.s), and had taken him under siege. Ibn Marjanah and ‘Umar ibn Sa‘d were happy because of the huge number of horsemen on their side, and they made al-Husayn (a.s), and his friends, may Allah be pleased with them, very weak. They became certain that no one will come to help al-Husayn (a.s), and people of Iraq will not support him. I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for the cause of my great-grandfather who had very few supporters.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘The day of ‘Ashura’ is the day on which al-Husayn (a.s), was murdered and his friends around him were all murdered and looted. How can there be fast on that day! No, by the Lord of the sacred house there is no fasting on such a day. It is only a day of mourning and lamentation that came upon the inhabitants of the sky and earth and all believing people. It is a day of happiness and joy for ibn Marjanah and family of Ziyad and people of al-Sham, may Allah subject them to His anger as well as their offspring. This was a day when all locations of earth wept except al-Sham. Those who fast on this day or take it for blessing will be raised, by Allah, with the family of Ziyad with their hearts metamorphosed and subjected to anger. Whoever seeks any saving for their homes on this day will be made by Allah as a seed of hypocrisy in his heart up to the Day of Judgment, blessing is removed thereof, from his family, and children. Satan will share him in all of such savings.’”

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Safwan ibn Yahya and Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-’Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about fasting on the ninth of Dhul Hajjah (day of ‘Arafah). He (the Imam) said, ‘I do not fast that day. It is the day of imploring and pleading before Allah.”’

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from ibn Faddal from Tha’labah ibn Maymun from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: ““I once heard abu Ja‘far 📷, say, ‘The Messenger of Allah did not fast on the day of ‘Arafah from the time fasting of the month of Ramadan came down.’”

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Nuh ibn Shu’ayb al-Naysaburiy, from Yasin al-Darir from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, and abu ‘Abd Allah 📷, have said, ‘You must not fast on the day of ‘Ashura’ (tenth of Muharram) and on the day of ‘Arafah in Makkah, in al-Madinah, in your homeland or in any other city.’”

4. Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Hashimiy has narrated from Muhammad ibn Musa from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ who has said that narrated to me Najabah ibn al-Harith al-‘ Attar who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far 📷, about fasting on the day of ‘Ashura’ (tenth of Muharram). He (the Imam) said, ‘It is a discarded fast after the coming of the month of Ramadan, and what is discarded and abandoned is heresy.’ Najabah has said that I then asked abu ‘Abd Allah 📷, after his father about it and he answered me just like the answer of his father. He (the Imam) then said, ‘It is a fast about which there is nothing in the book or an established Sunnah except the Sunnah of the family of Ziyad for their murdering al-Husayn ibn Ali 📷.’”
5ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عِيسَى أَخُوهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ صَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ وَمَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ فِيهِ فَقَالَ عَنْ صَوْمِ ابْنِ مَرْجَانَةَ تَسْأَلُنِي ذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ صَامَهُ الأَدْعِيَاءُ مِنْ آلِ زِيَادٍ لِقَتْلِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَهُوَ يَوْمٌ يَتَشَأَّمُ بِهِ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَيَتَشَأَّمُ بِهِ أَهْلُ الإِسْلامِ وَالْيَوْمُ الَّذِي يَتَشَأَّمُ بِهِ أَهْلُ الإِسْلامِ لا يُصَامُ وَلا يُتَبَرَّكُ بِهِ وَيَوْمُ الإِثْنَيْنِ يَوْمُ نَحْسٌ قَبَضَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ نَبِيَّهُ وَمَا أُصِيبَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلاَّ فِي يَوْمِ الإِثْنَيْنِ فَتَشَأَّمْنَا بِهِ وَتَبَرَّكَ بِهِ عَدُوُّنَا وَيَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ صَلَوَاتُ الله عَلَيْهِ وَتَبَرَّكَ بِهِ ابْنُ مَرْجَانَةَ وَتَشَأَّمَ بِهِ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِمْ فَمَنْ صَامَهُمَا أَوْ تَبَرَّكَ بِهِمَا لَقِيَ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مَمْسُوخَ الْقَلْبِ وَكَانَ حَشْرُهُ مَعَ الَّذِينَ سَنُّوا صَوْمَهُمَا وَالتَّبَرُّكَ بِهِمَا.
5. It is narrated from him (narrator of previous Hadith) from Muhammad ibn ’Isa ibn ‘Ubayd who has said that narrated to me Ja’far ibn ’Isa his brother who has said the following: “I once asked al-Rida’ 📷, about fasting on ‘Ashura’ and what people say about it. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is the fast of ibn Marjanah. You are asking me about the day in which the adopted ones of the family of Ziyad for their murdering al-Husayn 📷, were fasting. It is an ominous day for the family of Muhammad 📷. For people of Islam it is an ominous day. A day, which is ominous for the people of Islam is not a day of fasting or a day of blessing. Monday is an unblessed day because Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, took His Holy prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, from this world. The family of Muhammad, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has been hurt on Monday, so we took it as an ominous day and our enemies took it as a day of blessing. On the day of ‘Ashura’ al-Husayn 📷, was murdered and ibn Marjanah took it for blessing but the family of Muhammad, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, took it as an ominous day. Whoever fasts on this day or takes it for blessing will come in the presence of Allah, most Blessed, most High, with metamorphosed heart and will be raised with those who established the Sunnah of fasting on that day and took it for blessing.’”
6ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ زَيْدٍ النَّرْسِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ زُرَارَةَ يَسْأَلُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ فَقَالَ مَنْ صَامَهُ كَانَ حَظُّهُ مِنْ صِيَامِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ حَظَّ ابْنِ مَرْجَانَةَ وَآلِ زِيَادٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَا كَانَ حَظُّهُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَالَ النَّارُ أَعَاذَنَا الله مِنَ النَّارِ وَمِنْ عَمَلٍ يُقَرِّبُ مِنَ النَّارِ.
6. It is narrated from him (narrator of previous Hadith) from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa who has said that narrated to us Muhammad Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Zayd al-Narsiy who has said the following: “I heard Zurarah asking abu ‘Abd Allah 📷, about the fast on the day of ‘Ashura’. He (the Imam) said, ‘Whoever fasts that day, his share for such fast is like the share of ibn Marjanah and the family of Ziyad.’ I then asked, ‘What was their share of that day ? 5 He (the Imam) said, ‘It is the fire, I seek protection with Allah against it and against the deeds that take one closer to the fire.’”

It was said to Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him:
When someone dies or is killed, a mourning ceremony is held for him. But I see that you and your Shias have been holding mourning ceremonies since the first of Muharram.
Imam replied:
When the crescent of the month of Muharram appears, the angels hang the shirt of Imam Hussain in the sky. It is torn from the blows of the sword and stained with blood
We and our Shias see this shirt with the eyes of insight and not sight, so our tears flow.

Martyrdom of Maytham al-Tammar (Arabic: ميثم التمار الأسدي الکوفي)
Dhu l-Hijja
و روى الشيخ المفيد «ره» في الإرشاد: أن ميثم التمار كان عبدا لامرأة من بني أسد، فاشتراه أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) منها فأعتقه، فقال له: ما اسمك؟
فقال: سالم. فقال: أخبرني رسول اللّه (صلى الله عليه و آله) أن اسمك الذي سماك به أبوك في العجم ميثم. قال: صدق رسول اللّه و صدق أمير المؤمنين و اللّه إنه لاسمي. قال: فارجع إلى اسمك الذي سماك به رسول اللّه (صلى الله عليه و آله) ودع «سالما» فرجع إلى ميثم و اكتنى بأبي سالم، فقال له علي (عليه السلام) ذات يوم:
إنك تؤخذ بعدي فتصلب و تطعن بحربة، فإذا كان اليوم الثالث ابتدر منخراك و فمك دما فتخضب لحيتك، فانتظر ذلك الخضاب فتصلب على باب دار عمرو بن حريث عاشر عشرة أنت أقصرهم خشبة و أقربهم من المطهرة، و امض حتى أريك النخلة التي تصلب على جذعها. فأراه إياها و كان ميثم يأتيها فيصلي عندها و يقول:
بوركت من نخلة لك خلقت ولي غذيت، و لم يزل يتعاهدها حتى قطعت و حتى عرف الموضع الذي يصلب عليها بالكوفة.
قال: و كان يلقى عمرو بن حريث فيقول له: إني مجاورك فأحسن جواري.
فيقول له عمرو: أ تريد أن تشتري دار ابن مسعود أو دار ابن حكيم، و هو لا يعلم ما يريد
Shaikh Mufeed writes in Irshad that Meytham was a retainer of one of the women of Bani Asad. Imam Ali (a.s.) bought him from her and freed him. He asked his name, to which he replied that his name was Salim. Imam said,
“The Holy Prophet Muhammad (S) informed me that the name your father had kept in Persia was Meytham.”
Meytham replied, “Verily the Prophet of Allah (S) and the Commander of the faithful (a.s.) speaks the truth. By Allah! That is my name.” Imam said,
“Then return to the name by which the Prophet has addressed you and leave the name Salim, while your agnomen (Kuniyah)1 should be Abu Salim.”
One day Imam Ali (a.s.) told him,
“After my death you will be arrested and put to the gallows and a weapon shall be pierced into your stomach. Then on the third day blood will come forth from your nose and mouth, which will dye your beard, thus await that dye. You shall be hanged at the door of ‘Amr bin Hurays, you being the tenth (to be crucified among other nine), while the timber of your gallow will be the shortest and will be the nearest to the ground than others. Come, I shall show you the Palm-tree by whose trunk you shall be hanged.”
Then he showed him the Palm-tree. Meytham often visit¬ed the tree and Prayed below it and would say, “What a blessed palm-tree you are, that I have been made for you and you have been made for me.” He often went near the tree and took care of it until it was cut down. He knew that place in Kufa where he would be hanged.
He often visited ‘Amr bin Hurays and would say, “I shall soon be your neighbor, thus be a fair neighbor to me.” ‘Amr would say, “Are you buying the house of Ibn Mas’ood or Ibn Hakeem”? For he was not aware as to what Meytham meant.
ذكر مقتل ميثم بن يحيى التمار قدس اللّه روحه
كان ميثم التمار من خواص اصحاب أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) و من أصفيائهم، بل هو و عمرو بن الحمق و محمد بن أبي بكر و أويس القرني من حواري علي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام)، و قد حمله أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) بقدر قابليته و استعداده علما و كان قد يترشح منه.
و قال لابن عباس- الذي كان تلميذ أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) و أخذ منه تفسير القرآن و كان رباني هذه الأمة بقول محمد بن الحنفية-: يا بن العباس سلني ما شئت من تفسير القرآن فإني قرأت تنزيله على أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) و علمني تأويله. فقال: يا جارية [هاتي] الدواة و القرطاس. فأقبل يكتب [ رجال الكشي: 81. ].
و روي أنه لما أمر به إلى الصلب نادى بأعلى صوته: أيها الناس من أراد أن يسمع الحديث المكنون عن علي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام) فإلي، فاجتمع إليه الناس و أقبل يحدثهم بالعجائب رجال الكشي: 87..
و كان (رحمه الله) من الزهاد و ممن يبست عليهم جلودهم من العبادة و الزهادة.
Meytham was one of the distinct and favorite companions of the Commander of the faithful Imam Ali (a.s.), rather he, ‘Amr bin Humaq, Muhammad bin Abu Bakr and Oways Qarani were among his disciples. Keeping in mind their merit and worthiness, Imam Ali (a.s.) had trained them with concealed knowledge and mysteries, which would occasionally be apparent from them.
Once Meytham told Abdullah bin Abbas, who was one of the students of Imam Ali (a.s.) and had learnt the Qur’anic Exegeses from him, and whom Muhammad bin Hanafiyah had referred to as “the Divine of the nation” that, “O son of Abbas! Ask from me whatever you desire regarding the interpretation of the Qur’an, as I have recited the revelations of the Qur’an before Imam Ali (a.s.) and have received it’s interpretation from him.” Abdullah bin Abbas addressed his maid servant saying, “Bring me a paper and pen”, and started writing down.
It is narrated that when the order was issued to hang Meytham he called out in a loud voice saying, “O people! Whoever desires to listen to the mys¬terious sayings of the Commander of the faithful Ali (a.s.), come closer to me.” Hearing this people gathered around him and he started narrating the astonishing traditions. While this dignified personality (Allah’s Mercy be upon him), was among the abstinents and was such that the skin of his body had dried due to excessive worship and abstinence.
و عن كتاب الغارات لإبراهيم الثقفي قال في ذكر ميثم:
و قد كان أطلعه علي (عليه السلام) على علم كثير و أسرار خفية من أسرار الوصية، فكان ميثم يحدث ببعض ذلك فيشك فيه قوم من أهل الكوفة و ينسبون عليا
(عليه السلام) في ذلك إلى المخرقة و الإيهام و التدليس، حتى قال له يوما بمحضر من خلق كثير من أصحابه و فيهم الشاك و المخلص: يا ميثم إنك تؤخذ بعدي و تصلب، فإذا كان اليوم الثاني ابتدر منخراك و فمك دما حتى تخضب لحيتك، فإذا كان اليوم الثالث طعنت بحربة فيقضى عليك فانتظر ذلك، و الموضع الذي تصلب فيه على دار عمرو بن حريث، إنك لعاشر عشرة أنت أقصرهم خشبة و أقربهم من المطهرة- يعني الأرض- و لأرينك النخلة التي تصلب على جذعها.
ثم أراه إياها بعد ذلك بيومين، فكان ميثم يأتيها فيصلي عندها فيقول: بوركت من نخلة لك خلقت ولي نبت، فلم يزل يتعاهدها بعد قتل علي (عليه السلام) حتى قطعت، فكان يرصد جذعها و يتعاهده و يتردد إليه و يبصره، و كان يلقى عمرو بن حريث فيقول [له]: إني مجاورك فأحسن جواري، و لا يعلم عمرو ما يريد، فيقول له: أ تريد أن تشتري دار ابن مسعود أم دار ابن حكيم؟
In Kitab al Gharat it is related by Ibraheem Saqafi, that Imam Ali (a.s.) had trained Meytham in abundant knowledge and concealed mysteries, which he would occasionally relate to the people, after hearing which the Kufans would fall in doubt and accuse Imam Ali (a.s.) of sorcery and deceit (for they could not digest and comprehend it). One day Imam Ali (a.s.), in the presence of a large gathering of some of his genuine followers as well as the skeptical ones said,
“O Meytham! After my death you will be seized and will be hanged. Then on the preceding day blood shall ooze from your nose and mouth, which will dye your beard. Then on the third day a weapon will be pierced in your stomach, which will result in your death, thus look forward to that day. The place where you shall be hanged is facing the house of ‘Amr bin Hurays. You shall be the tenth one from among those people who shall be hanged, while the timber of your gallow will be the shortest among all, and it will be nearer to the ground. And I shall show you the palm-tree on whose trunk you shall be hanged.”
Then after two days he showed him the palm-tree. Thereafter Meytham always came near the tree and recited Prayers and would say, “What a blessed palm-tree you are, for you have been created and are growing up for me “.
After the martyrdom of Imam Ali (a.s.), Meytham often went to visit the palm-tree until it was cut down, then he looked after it’s trunks. He would go to ‘Amr bin Hurays and say, “I will be your neighbor, thus fulfill the rights of neighborhood well.” ‘Amr would not understand his meaning and would ask, “Do you intend buying the house of Ibn Mas’ood or Ibn Hakeem”?
و عن كتاب الفضائل قيل: كان أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) يخرج من الجامع بالكوفة فيجلس عند ميثم التمار (رضي الله عنه) فيحادثه فيقال: إنه قال له ذات يوم:
أ لا أبشرك يا ميثم. فقال: بما ذا يا أمير المؤمنين؟ قال: بأنك تموت مصلوبا. فقال:
يا مولاي و أنا على فطرة الإسلام؟ قال: نعم [ البحار 42/ 138 نقلا عن فض ].
و روي عن العقيقي أن أبا جعفر (عليه السلام) كان يحبه حبا شديدا و أنه كان مؤمنا شاكرا في الرخاء صابرا في البلاء منهج المقال للأسترآبادي ص 349.
In Kitabul Fazael it is written that Imam Ali (a.s.) often came out of the Mosque of Kufa and sat near Meytham talking to him. One day as usual he came to Meytham and said,
“Should not I give you glad tidings”?
Meytham asked him as to what it was. He said,
“One day you shall be hanged.”
He asked, “O my Master! Will I die the death of a Muslim”? Imam answered in the af-firmative.
Aqiqi relates that Abu Ja’far Imam Muhammad al Baqir (a.s.) held Meytham very dear, while Meytham was a believer, was grateful in prosperity and forbearing in adversity.
روي عن ميثم قال: دعاني أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) و قال: كيف أنت يا ميثم إذا دعاك دعي بني أمية [ابن دعيها] عبيد اللّه بن زياد إلى البراءة مني؟ فقلت:
يا أمير المؤمنين و اللّه لا أبرأ منك. قال: إذا و اللّه يقتلك و يصلبك. قلت: أصبر فذاك في اللّه قليل. فقال: يا ميثم إذا تكون معي في درجتي- الخ [ رجال الكشي: 83 ].
و روي عن صالح بن ميثم قال: أخبرني أبو خالد التمار و قال: كنت مع ميثم التمار بالفرات يوم الجمعة، فهبت ريح و هو في سفينة من سفن الزيان [3]. قال:
فخرج و نظر إلى الريح فقال: شدوا سفينتكم إن هذا الريح عاصف مات معاوية الساعة. قال: فلما كانت الجمعة المقبلة قدم بريد من الشام فلقيته فاستخبرته فقلت: يا عبد اللّه ما الخبر؟ قال: على أحسن حال، توفي أمير المؤمنين و بايع الناس يزيد- قال: قلت: أي يوم توفي؟ قال: يوم الجمعة [ رجال الكشي: 80 ].
Meytham says that one day Imam Ali (a.s.) called me and said,
“What will be your state at that time O Meytham, when the man, whose father is not known, but the Bani Umayyah have included him among them (viz. Ubaydullah bin Ziyad) will call you and order you to disassociate yourself from me?”
I said, “O Commander of the faithful! By Allah! I shall never disassociate myself from you.” He said,
“In that case you shall be killed and hanged on the gallows.”
I retorted, “By Allah! I shall forebear, while this is quite insignificant in the way of Allah.” Imam said,
“O Meytham! You shall then be along with me in my status (in Paradise).”
Saleh bin Meytham relates that Abu Khalid Tammar has narrated to me, that one day I was with Meytham in the river of Euphrates on Friday, when a storm started. Meytham, who was sitting in a boat called Ziyan, came out and looking towards the storm said, “Tie the boats firmly, for I see a fearful storm ensuing, while Mu’awiyah has just died.”
When next Friday dawned, a messenger came from Syria. I met him and inquired about the reports there¬in. He said that, “The people therein are in a good state. Mu’awiyah has died and people are taking the oath of allegiance to Yazid.” I asked him as to which day he died, to which he replied that it was on the last Friday.
حج في السنة التي قتل فيها فدخل على أم سلمة (رضي الله عنها) فقالت:
من أنت؟ قال: أنا ميثم. قالت: و اللّه لربما سمعت رسول اللّه (صلى الله عليه و آله) يذكرك في جوف الليل، فسألها عن الحسين (عليه السلام) فقالت له: هو في حائط له. قال: أخبريه أنني قد أحببت السلام عليه و نحن ملتقون عند رب العالمين إن شاء اللّه تعالى، فدعت أم سلمة بطيب و طيبت لحيته و قالت له: أما أنها ستخضب بدم. فقدم الكوفة فأخذه عبيد اللّه بن زياد فأدخل عليه فقيل له: هذا كان من آثر الناس عند علي (عليه السلام). قال: ويحكم هذا الأعجمي قيل له: نعم. قال له عبيد اللّه: أين ربك؟ قال: بالمرصاد لكل ظالم و أنت أحد الظلمة. قال: إنك على عجمتك لتبلغ الذي تريد. قال: أخبرني ما أخبرك صاحبك إني فاعل بك. قال: أخبرني أنك تصلبني عاشر عشرة أنا أقصرهم خشبة و أقربهم إلى المطهرة. قال: لنخالفنه. قال: تخالفه فو اللّه ما أخبرني إلا عن النبي (صلى الله عليه و آله) عن جبرئيل عن اللّه تعالى فكيف تخالف هؤلاء و لقد عرفت الموضع الذي أصلب عليه أين هو من الكوفة، و أنا أول خلق اللّه ألجم في الإسلام. فحبسه و حبس معه المختار بن أبي عبيد. قال له ميثم: إنك تفلت و تخرج ثائرا بدم الحسين (عليه السلام) فتقتل هذا الذي يقتلنا.
فلما دعا عبيد اللّه بالمختار ليقتله طلع بريد بكتاب يزيد إلى عبيد اللّه يأمره تخلية سبيله، فخلاه فأمر بميثم أن يصلب فأخرج، فقال له رجل لقيه: ما كان أغناك عن هذا. فتبسم و قال- و هو يومي إلى النخلة-: لها خلقت ولي غذيت.
فلما رفع على الخشبة اجتمع الناس حوله على باب عمرو بن حريث، قال عمرو: قد كان و اللّه يقول: إني مجاورك، فلما صلب أمر جاريته بكنس تحت خشبته و رشه و تجميره، فجعل ميثم يحدث بفضائل بني هاشم، فقيل لابن زياد قد فضحكم هذا العبد. فقال: ألجموه. فكان أول خلق اللّه ألجم في الإسلام، و كان قتل ميثم (رحمه الله) قبل قدوم الحسين (عليه السلام) العراق بعشرة أيام، فلما كان اليوم الثالث من صلبه طعن بالحربة فكبر ثم انبعث في آخر النهار فمه و أنفه دما- انتهى الارشاد: 153- 154
The year, in which he was martyred, Meytham went for Hajj and thereafter went to the presence of Umm Salama (a.s.). Umm Salama asked him as to who he was and he replied that he was Meytham. She said, “By Allah! I have often heard the Prophet remember your name at mid-night.”
Then Meytham inquired about Imam Husayn (a.s.) from Umm Salama, to which she replied that he was in his garden. He said, “Please tell him that I would have loved to offer my salutations to him, but Allah willing, we shall meet one another in the presence of the Lord of the worlds.” Umm Salama called for some scent and perfumed Meytham’s beard with it and said, “Very soon it will be dyed with blood.”
Thereafter Meytham went to Kufa and was seized and taken to Ubaydullah. Ubaydullah was told that, “This man is the most beloved of Ali.” He said, “Woe be to you! This Persian man”? He was replied in the affirmative. Then Ubaydullah asked Meytham, “Where is your Lord”? Meytham replied, “In ambush of the oppressors, while you are one of the oppressors.”
Ubaydullah said, “Even after being a Persian (non-Arab) you say what you mean (your Arabic is eloquent). Tell me then, what your Master (Imam Ali) predicted to you as to what I shall do to you”? Meytham replied, “Yes, he did tell us that I will be the tenth one whom you shall put to the gallows, and that the timber of my gallow would be the shortest, and also that I shall be closer to the ground than them.” Ubaydullah said, “By Allah! I shall do the opposite of what he said.” Meytham replied, “How can you do the opposite, when by Allah, Imam Ali (a.s.) had heard it from the Prophet (S), while he had heard it from Jibra’eel, who in turn heard it from the Al¬mighty. How can you oppose them? And I even know the place in Kufa where I shall be hanged, and I shall be the first in Islam to be bridled.”
Thus Meytham was imprisoned along with Mukhtar bin Abu Ubaydah Saqafi. Meytham told Mukhtar, “You shall be freed from here and will rise to avenge the blood of Imam Husayn (a.s.), and you shall kill him who will kill us.” When Ubaydullah called for Mukhtar to be killed, a message arrived from Yazid ordering him to free Mukhtar. He released him and ordered Meytham to be crucified.
He came out of the prison and confronted a man who told him that, “Do you not have the ability to free yourself from this”? Meytham smiled and point¬ing to the Palm-tree said, “I have been created for it and it has been brought up for me.”
When Meytham was hanged on the gallows, people gathered around him at the door of the house of ‘Amr bin Hurays who said, “By Allah! He often said that he would be my neighbor.” When Meytham was crucified, ‘Amr ordered his maid to sweep the ground beneath and sprinkle water and fumigate it.” Meytham then started relating the virtues of Bani Hashim on the gallows.
News reached Ubaydullah that the slave had insulted him to which he ordered that a bridle should be put in his mouth; hence Meytham was the first man in Islam to be bridled. Meytham was martyred ten days before Imam Husayn (a.s.) came to Iraq. On the third day a weapon (probably a spear) was pierced into his stomach and he exclaimed “Allaho Akbar”, and at the end of the day blood oozed from his nose and mouth. (May Allah's Mercy and Blessing be Upon him
روي أنه اجتمع سبعة من التمارين فاتعدوا بدفن ميثم، فجاءوا إليه ليلا و الحرس يحرسونه و قد أوقدوا النار، فحالت النار بينهم و بين الحرس، فاحتملوه بخشبته حتى انتهوا به إلى فيض من ماء في مراد فدفنوه فيه و رموا الخشبة في مراد في الخراب، فلما أصبحوا بعث الخيل فلم تجد شيئا رجال الكشي: 83)
It is related that seven date-sellers pledged that they would take the corpse of Meytham from there and bury him. During night they came there when the guards had lightened a fire and could not see them. They took him down from the gallows and buried him near the stream in the street of Bani Murad, and threw away the gallow into the garbage. When morning dawned the horsemen went in pursuit of them but failed to find them.

Martyrdom of Maytham al-Tammar (Arabic: ميثم التمار الأسدي الکوفي)
Dhu l-Hijja
و روى الشيخ المفيد «ره» في الإرشاد: أن ميثم التمار كان عبدا لامرأة من بني أسد، فاشتراه أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) منها فأعتقه، فقال له: ما اسمك؟
فقال: سالم. فقال: أخبرني رسول اللّه (صلى الله عليه و آله) أن اسمك الذي سماك به أبوك في العجم ميثم. قال: صدق رسول اللّه و صدق أمير المؤمنين و اللّه إنه لاسمي. قال: فارجع إلى اسمك الذي سماك به رسول اللّه (صلى الله عليه و آله) ودع «سالما» فرجع إلى ميثم و اكتنى بأبي سالم، فقال له علي (عليه السلام) ذات يوم:
إنك تؤخذ بعدي فتصلب و تطعن بحربة، فإذا كان اليوم الثالث ابتدر منخراك و فمك دما فتخضب لحيتك، فانتظر ذلك الخضاب فتصلب على باب دار عمرو بن حريث عاشر عشرة أنت أقصرهم خشبة و أقربهم من المطهرة، و امض حتى أريك النخلة التي تصلب على جذعها. فأراه إياها و كان ميثم يأتيها فيصلي عندها و يقول:
بوركت من نخلة لك خلقت ولي غذيت، و لم يزل يتعاهدها حتى قطعت و حتى عرف الموضع الذي يصلب عليها بالكوفة.
قال: و كان يلقى عمرو بن حريث فيقول له: إني مجاورك فأحسن جواري.
فيقول له عمرو: أ تريد أن تشتري دار ابن مسعود أو دار ابن حكيم، و هو لا يعلم ما يريد
Shaikh Mufeed writes in Irshad that Meytham was a retainer of one of the women of Bani Asad. Imam Ali (a.s.) bought him from her and freed him. He asked his name, to which he replied that his name was Salim. Imam said,
“The Holy Prophet Muhammad (S) informed me that the name your father had kept in Persia was Meytham.”
Meytham replied, “Verily the Prophet of Allah (S) and the Commander of the faithful (a.s.) speaks the truth. By Allah! That is my name.” Imam said,
“Then return to the name by which the Prophet has addressed you and leave the name Salim, while your agnomen (Kuniyah)1 should be Abu Salim.”
One day Imam Ali (a.s.) told him,
“After my death you will be arrested and put to the gallows and a weapon shall be pierced into your stomach. Then on the third day blood will come forth from your nose and mouth, which will dye your beard, thus await that dye. You shall be hanged at the door of ‘Amr bin Hurays, you being the tenth (to be crucified among other nine), while the timber of your gallow will be the shortest and will be the nearest to the ground than others. Come, I shall show you the Palm-tree by whose trunk you shall be hanged.”
Then he showed him the Palm-tree. Meytham often visit¬ed the tree and Prayed below it and would say, “What a blessed palm-tree you are, that I have been made for you and you have been made for me.” He often went near the tree and took care of it until it was cut down. He knew that place in Kufa where he would be hanged.
He often visited ‘Amr bin Hurays and would say, “I shall soon be your neighbor, thus be a fair neighbor to me.” ‘Amr would say, “Are you buying the house of Ibn Mas’ood or Ibn Hakeem”? For he was not aware as to what Meytham meant.
ذكر مقتل ميثم بن يحيى التمار قدس اللّه روحه
كان ميثم التمار من خواص اصحاب أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) و من أصفيائهم، بل هو و عمرو بن الحمق و محمد بن أبي بكر و أويس القرني من حواري علي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام)، و قد حمله أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) بقدر قابليته و استعداده علما و كان قد يترشح منه.
و قال لابن عباس- الذي كان تلميذ أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) و أخذ منه تفسير القرآن و كان رباني هذه الأمة بقول محمد بن الحنفية-: يا بن العباس سلني ما شئت من تفسير القرآن فإني قرأت تنزيله على أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) و علمني تأويله. فقال: يا جارية [هاتي] الدواة و القرطاس. فأقبل يكتب [ رجال الكشي: 81. ].
و روي أنه لما أمر به إلى الصلب نادى بأعلى صوته: أيها الناس من أراد أن يسمع الحديث المكنون عن علي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام) فإلي، فاجتمع إليه الناس و أقبل يحدثهم بالعجائب رجال الكشي: 87..
و كان (رحمه الله) من الزهاد و ممن يبست عليهم جلودهم من العبادة و الزهادة.
Meytham was one of the distinct and favorite companions of the Commander of the faithful Imam Ali (a.s.), rather he, ‘Amr bin Humaq, Muhammad bin Abu Bakr and Oways Qarani were among his disciples. Keeping in mind their merit and worthiness, Imam Ali (a.s.) had trained them with concealed knowledge and mysteries, which would occasionally be apparent from them.
Once Meytham told Abdullah bin Abbas, who was one of the students of Imam Ali (a.s.) and had learnt the Qur’anic Exegeses from him, and whom Muhammad bin Hanafiyah had referred to as “the Divine of the nation” that, “O son of Abbas! Ask from me whatever you desire regarding the interpretation of the Qur’an, as I have recited the revelations of the Qur’an before Imam Ali (a.s.) and have received it’s interpretation from him.” Abdullah bin Abbas addressed his maid servant saying, “Bring me a paper and pen”, and started writing down.
It is narrated that when the order was issued to hang Meytham he called out in a loud voice saying, “O people! Whoever desires to listen to the mys¬terious sayings of the Commander of the faithful Ali (a.s.), come closer to me.” Hearing this people gathered around him and he started narrating the astonishing traditions. While this dignified personality (Allah’s Mercy be upon him), was among the abstinents and was such that the skin of his body had dried due to excessive worship and abstinence.
و عن كتاب الغارات لإبراهيم الثقفي قال في ذكر ميثم:
و قد كان أطلعه علي (عليه السلام) على علم كثير و أسرار خفية من أسرار الوصية، فكان ميثم يحدث ببعض ذلك فيشك فيه قوم من أهل الكوفة و ينسبون عليا
(عليه السلام) في ذلك إلى المخرقة و الإيهام و التدليس، حتى قال له يوما بمحضر من خلق كثير من أصحابه و فيهم الشاك و المخلص: يا ميثم إنك تؤخذ بعدي و تصلب، فإذا كان اليوم الثاني ابتدر منخراك و فمك دما حتى تخضب لحيتك، فإذا كان اليوم الثالث طعنت بحربة فيقضى عليك فانتظر ذلك، و الموضع الذي تصلب فيه على دار عمرو بن حريث، إنك لعاشر عشرة أنت أقصرهم خشبة و أقربهم من المطهرة- يعني الأرض- و لأرينك النخلة التي تصلب على جذعها.
ثم أراه إياها بعد ذلك بيومين، فكان ميثم يأتيها فيصلي عندها فيقول: بوركت من نخلة لك خلقت ولي نبت، فلم يزل يتعاهدها بعد قتل علي (عليه السلام) حتى قطعت، فكان يرصد جذعها و يتعاهده و يتردد إليه و يبصره، و كان يلقى عمرو بن حريث فيقول [له]: إني مجاورك فأحسن جواري، و لا يعلم عمرو ما يريد، فيقول له: أ تريد أن تشتري دار ابن مسعود أم دار ابن حكيم؟
In Kitab al Gharat it is related by Ibraheem Saqafi, that Imam Ali (a.s.) had trained Meytham in abundant knowledge and concealed mysteries, which he would occasionally relate to the people, after hearing which the Kufans would fall in doubt and accuse Imam Ali (a.s.) of sorcery and deceit (for they could not digest and comprehend it). One day Imam Ali (a.s.), in the presence of a large gathering of some of his genuine followers as well as the skeptical ones said,
“O Meytham! After my death you will be seized and will be hanged. Then on the preceding day blood shall ooze from your nose and mouth, which will dye your beard. Then on the third day a weapon will be pierced in your stomach, which will result in your death, thus look forward to that day. The place where you shall be hanged is facing the house of ‘Amr bin Hurays. You shall be the tenth one from among those people who shall be hanged, while the timber of your gallow will be the shortest among all, and it will be nearer to the ground. And I shall show you the palm-tree on whose trunk you shall be hanged.”
Then after two days he showed him the palm-tree. Thereafter Meytham always came near the tree and recited Prayers and would say, “What a blessed palm-tree you are, for you have been created and are growing up for me “.
After the martyrdom of Imam Ali (a.s.), Meytham often went to visit the palm-tree until it was cut down, then he looked after it’s trunks. He would go to ‘Amr bin Hurays and say, “I will be your neighbor, thus fulfill the rights of neighborhood well.” ‘Amr would not understand his meaning and would ask, “Do you intend buying the house of Ibn Mas’ood or Ibn Hakeem”?
و عن كتاب الفضائل قيل: كان أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) يخرج من الجامع بالكوفة فيجلس عند ميثم التمار (رضي الله عنه) فيحادثه فيقال: إنه قال له ذات يوم:
أ لا أبشرك يا ميثم. فقال: بما ذا يا أمير المؤمنين؟ قال: بأنك تموت مصلوبا. فقال:
يا مولاي و أنا على فطرة الإسلام؟ قال: نعم [ البحار 42/ 138 نقلا عن فض ].
و روي عن العقيقي أن أبا جعفر (عليه السلام) كان يحبه حبا شديدا و أنه كان مؤمنا شاكرا في الرخاء صابرا في البلاء منهج المقال للأسترآبادي ص 349.
In Kitabul Fazael it is written that Imam Ali (a.s.) often came out of the Mosque of Kufa and sat near Meytham talking to him. One day as usual he came to Meytham and said,
“Should not I give you glad tidings”?
Meytham asked him as to what it was. He said,
“One day you shall be hanged.”
He asked, “O my Master! Will I die the death of a Muslim”? Imam answered in the af-firmative.
Aqiqi relates that Abu Ja’far Imam Muhammad al Baqir (a.s.) held Meytham very dear, while Meytham was a believer, was grateful in prosperity and forbearing in adversity.
روي عن ميثم قال: دعاني أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) و قال: كيف أنت يا ميثم إذا دعاك دعي بني أمية [ابن دعيها] عبيد اللّه بن زياد إلى البراءة مني؟ فقلت:
يا أمير المؤمنين و اللّه لا أبرأ منك. قال: إذا و اللّه يقتلك و يصلبك. قلت: أصبر فذاك في اللّه قليل. فقال: يا ميثم إذا تكون معي في درجتي- الخ [ رجال الكشي: 83 ].
و روي عن صالح بن ميثم قال: أخبرني أبو خالد التمار و قال: كنت مع ميثم التمار بالفرات يوم الجمعة، فهبت ريح و هو في سفينة من سفن الزيان [3]. قال:
فخرج و نظر إلى الريح فقال: شدوا سفينتكم إن هذا الريح عاصف مات معاوية الساعة. قال: فلما كانت الجمعة المقبلة قدم بريد من الشام فلقيته فاستخبرته فقلت: يا عبد اللّه ما الخبر؟ قال: على أحسن حال، توفي أمير المؤمنين و بايع الناس يزيد- قال: قلت: أي يوم توفي؟ قال: يوم الجمعة [ رجال الكشي: 80 ].
Meytham says that one day Imam Ali (a.s.) called me and said,
“What will be your state at that time O Meytham, when the man, whose father is not known, but the Bani Umayyah have included him among them (viz. Ubaydullah bin Ziyad) will call you and order you to disassociate yourself from me?”
I said, “O Commander of the faithful! By Allah! I shall never disassociate myself from you.” He said,
“In that case you shall be killed and hanged on the gallows.”
I retorted, “By Allah! I shall forebear, while this is quite insignificant in the way of Allah.” Imam said,
“O Meytham! You shall then be along with me in my status (in Paradise).”
Saleh bin Meytham relates that Abu Khalid Tammar has narrated to me, that one day I was with Meytham in the river of Euphrates on Friday, when a storm started. Meytham, who was sitting in a boat called Ziyan, came out and looking towards the storm said, “Tie the boats firmly, for I see a fearful storm ensuing, while Mu’awiyah has just died.”
When next Friday dawned, a messenger came from Syria. I met him and inquired about the reports there¬in. He said that, “The people therein are in a good state. Mu’awiyah has died and people are taking the oath of allegiance to Yazid.” I asked him as to which day he died, to which he replied that it was on the last Friday.

It was said to Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him:
When someone dies or is killed, a mourning ceremony is held for him. But I see that you and your Shias have been holding mourning ceremonies since the first of Muharram.
Imam replied:
When the crescent of the month of #Muharram appears, the angels hang the shirt of Imam Hussain in the sky. It is torn from the blows of the sword and stained with blood
We and our Shias see this shirt with the eyes of insight and not sight, so our tears flow.
قيل للصادق عليهالسلام : سيدي جعلت فداك ،
إنّ الميت يجلسون له بالنياحه بعد موته أو قتله ، وأراكم تجلسون أنتم وشيعتكم من أوّل الشهر بالمأتم والعزاء على الحسين عليهالسلام!!
فقال عليهالسلام : «يا هذا إذا هل هلال محرم نشرت الملائكة ثوب الحسين عليهالسلام وهو مخرق من ضرب السيوف ، وملطخ بالدماء ،
فنراه نحن وشيعتنا بالبصيرة لا بالبصر ، فتنفجر دموعنا».

Muslim bin Aqeel (a.s) entered Kufa and stayed with al-Mukhtar Ibn Abu ‘Ubayd al-Thaqafi who was highly respected among his people, a generous man, a man of ambition and daring, one well experienced and determined, and a formidable opponent of the enemies of Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them. He was a wise man, a man of great discretion especially with regard to the rules of the battle and the means of subduing the foe. His experience taught him wisdom. He underwent calamities from which he learned self-discipline. He kept company with the Progeny of the holiest Prophet (S), so he benefitted from their ethics and virtuous morals, and he sought their advice publicly and privately. The Shi’as went in hordes to meet Muslim as he stayed at al-Mukhtar's house and expressed to him their obedience. This increased his happiness and elation. When he read to them al-Husayn's letter, ‘Abis Ibn Shibib al-Shakiri stood and said, “I do not speak about the people, nor do I know what they conceal in their hearts, nor do I deceive you in their regard. By Allah! I can tell you what I personally have decided to do. By Allah! I shall respond to your call, and I shall fight your enemy. I shall defend you with my sword till I meet Allah desiring nothing except what He has in store for me.” Habib Ibn Muzahir said, “You have briefly stated your intention, and by Allah, the One and only God, I feel exactly the same.” Sa’id Ibn ‘Abdullah al-Hanafi made a similar statement Other Shi’as came to swear the oath of allegiance to him till his diwan counted as many as 18000 men, whereas some historians said they were as many as 25000 men(Ibn Shahr Ashub, Vol. 2, p. 310.) According to al-Sha’bi, the number of those who swore allegiance to him reached 40,000 (Ibn Nama, p. 11.) It was then that Muslim wrote al-Husayn (‘a) a letter which he handed to ‘Abis Ibn Shibib al-Shakiri informing him of the consensus among the people of Kufa to obey him and to wait for his arrival. In it, he said, “A scout does not lie to his people. Eighteen thousand Kufians have already come to me; so, hurry and come here as soon as this letter reaches you. That was 27days prior to Muslim's martyrdom. @shiacalendar.en — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/5hbcHOD

When all the messengers gathered together, Imam read the letters and inquired from them about the people. Sayyid ibn Tawoos says that Imam Husayn (a.s.) arose and recited Prayers between Rukn and Makan (in the Ka’bah) and desired goodness from the Almighty. Then he called for Muslim bin Aqeel bin Abi Talib (a.s.) and apprised him about the situation and wrote a letter in reply to the people of Kufa. Shaikh Mufeed says that Imam Husayn (a.s.) sent the following reply with Hani bin Hani Sabee’i and Sa’eed bin Abdullah Hanafi, who were the last messengers (from Kufa): “In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful. From Husayn bin Ali to the noblemen among the Muslims and believers. Now then! Hani and Sa’eed have brought me your letters, they being your last messengers. I have realized your opinions through them and your judgment is that: There is no Imam over us. You come towards us, perhaps Allah will unite us through you upon the truth and righteousness. I send to you my cousin, my brother and a trustworthy person from among my family Muslim bin Aqeel. And I have instructed him to inquire about your affairs and write to me regarding it. And if he writes to me that your elders, the wise and the learned men hold the same opinion as your messengers have conveyed to me and as written in your letters, then I shall come to you quickly, Allah willing. I swear by my life, that he is not an Imam and guide except he who judges in accordance to the Book of Allah, and establishes justice, and professes the True Religion and dedicates himself to the will of Almighty Allah. Greetings.” Then Imam Husayn (a.s.) called Muslim bin Aqeel bin Abi Talib (a.s.) and dispatched him to Kufa with Qays bin Mushir Saydawi, Ammarah bin Abdullah Arjee and Abdul Rahman and Abdullah, the sons of Shaddad Arhabi. He enjoined them with fear of Allah to conceal their mission, besides advising them to be merciful, and that if they find people to be firm and resolute then they should immediately inform him @shiacalendar.en — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/eUCiZ6V

On 14th Ramadan, Mukhtar decided to leave his palace. He said to his companions: The siege will weaken us more and more! Let's go out and die martyrs. Only seventeen persons obeyed Mukhtar. They went out to fight the big army that surrounded his palace. Mukhtar was sixty-seven years old. He fought bravely. Then he died a martyr for Islam. After eighteen months of rule and war with three groups, the Umayyads in Syria, the Zubayr Dynasty in Hijaz, and the nobles of Kufa, al-Mukhtar was killed on Ramadan 14, 67, at his 67, by Mus'ab b. al-Zubayr.On Mus'ab's command, al-Mukhtar's hands were cut off and nailed to the wall of Masjid al-Kufa. When Hajjaj b. Yusuf gained power over Kufa, he ordered the hands be buried. After al-Mukhtar's death, his followers, consisting of 6000 people encircled in the palace, surrendered. Mus'ab b. al-Zubayr ordered all of them to be killed. The decision was so horrifying that when 'Abd Allah b. 'Umar saw Mus'ab, said: "Even if they were 6000 sheep which belonged to your father, you shouldn't have done this. Mus'ab pressurized 'Umra bt. Nu'man b. Bashir, the al-Mukhtar's wife, to express her abhorrence to al-Mukhtar. When she refused, Mus'ab decapitated her. 'Abd al-Rahman b. Hassan said in a poem: "Death and killing has been written for us, and for beautiful women, prancing, and romance." The event is recorded as such in a report: Mus'ab asked 'Umra, "what is your opinion about al-Mukhtar?" She replied, "He was pious and fasted every day". Mus'ab ordered to decapitate her. She became the first woman in Islam to be beheaded. Imam al-Sajjad (a): "May God reward al-Mukhtar. In a meeting with al-Mukhtar's son, Imam al-Baqir (a) first honored, and then praised al-Mukhtar, "May God bless your father. Imam al-Sadiq (a) has stated that al-Mukhtar's sending of 'Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad and 'Umar b. Sa'd's head to Medina made the Ahl al-Bayt (a) happy and said, "After the event of 'Ashura, no woman of ours put on makeup, until al-Mukhtar sent the decapitated head of 'Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad and 'Umar b. Sa'd." @shiacalendar.en — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/Uwk5xez

Letters of the people of Kufa to Imam Husayn (a.s) when people of Kufa received the news of the death of Mu’awiyah they started vilifying Yazid. Besides they were informed that Imam Husayn (a.s.) had refused to swear the oath of allegiance to Yazid and had gone to Makkah. While Abdullah bin Zubayr too had fled to Makkah with him and competed with him. The followers (Shi’ah) of Imam gathered at the house of Sulayman bin Surad Khuza’i and discussed about the death of Mu’awiyah and praised and glorified Allah. Sulayman arose and said, “Mu’awiyah is dead, and Imam Husayn (a.s.) has refused to swear the oath of allegiance to Yazid and has proceeded towards Makkah. You are his and his father’s followers (Shi’ah), then if you desire assisting him and fighting his enemies, write to him and inform him about it. But if you fear lest you would turn sluggish and retreat, then do not betray him (by inviting him here).” Everyone unanimously swore that they would support him and fight his enemies under his command and offer their lives for sacrifice. When Sulayman heard this he invited them to write letters addressing to the Imam and they wrote as follows: “In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful. To Husayn bin Ali (a.s.) from Sulayman bin Surad, Musayyab bin Najabah, Rufa’ah bin Shaddad, Habib bin Mazahir and other followers from the citizens of Kufa, the believers and Muslims. Peace be upon you! We praise and glorify Allah before you, besides Whom there is no other Deity. Now then! Praise be to Allah that He has destroyed your obstinate enemy. The one (referred to Mu’awiyah) who had leapt upon the Islamic nation and snatched their affairs into his own hands and grabbed their booty and seized control of it without their consent. He killed the virtuous and spared the wicked ones. And he scattered the wealth of Allah among the tyrants and the wealthy people, thus he was annihilated as (the people of) Samood were destroyed, and we have no Imam left with us (except you). We request you to come to us so that Allah may unite us upon the truth. Nu’man bin Basheer is alone present in the palace ... more in comments @shiacalendar.en — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/TFUuDOq

Orations on minbars were given in Imam al Rida's (a) name.

The people say that although you show asceticism, you have accepted the succession to the throne.” He (a.s.) replied, “Indeed God knows how much I hated this. However when I was only given the choice to either accept this or be killed, I chose this (the acceptance of the succession to the throne) over being killed. Woe be to them! Do they not know that Joseph (a.s.), who was a Prophet, said the following to the King of Egypt when it was necessary to do so, ‘Set me over the store-houses of the land: I will indeed guard them, as one that knows (their importance). I was also forced to accept this (the acceptance of the succession to the throne) even though I did not like to. I unwillingly accepted it when I was about to be killed. I accepted this affair like one who has no interest in it. And I will take my complaint to God on this issue and seek His Assistance. painter:@hassan.roholamin — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/zVJMDfo

Ramadan 6 The revelation of the Torah to prophet Musa (a.s) عن الشیخ الصدوق : رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ كُنْ لِمَا لَا تَرْجُو أَرْجَى مِنْكَ لِمَا تَرْجُو فَإِنَّ مُوسَى نَ عِمْرَانَ ع خَرَجَ لِيَقْتَبِسَ لِأَهْلِهِ نَاراً فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ هُوَ رَسُولٌ نَبِيٌّ فَأَصْلَحَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَمْرَ عَبْدِهِ وَ نَبِيِّهِ مُوسَى ع فِي لَيْلَةٍ وَ هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى بِالْقَائِمِ الثَّانِيَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ كَمَا أَصْلَحَ أَمْرَ نَبِيِّهِ مُوسَى ع وَ يُخْرِجُهُ مِنَ الْحَيْرَةِ وَ الْغَيْبَةِ إِلَى نُورِ الْفَرَجِ وَ الظُّهُورِ. It is narrated from Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) that he told his companions: You should be such that you are more hopeful for something about which you don’t have hope. Musa (a.s.) went to get fire for his wife and he returned as a Messenger Prophet. Thus Allah reformed the condition of His servant and Prophet in a single night. He shall do the same in the case of Qaim; that is the twelfth of the Imams. And He shall reform his affairs in a single night as He reformed the affair of His Prophet Musa (a.s.) and brought him out from confusion and occultation into the light of deliverance and reappearance. حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ وَ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ فِي الْقَائِمِ ع سُنَّةٌ مِنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ ع فَقُلْتُ وَ مَا سُنَّتُهُ مِنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ قَالَ خَفَاءُ مَوْلِدِهِ وَ غَيْبَتُهُ عَنْ قَوْمِهِ فَقُلْتُ وَ كَمْ غَابَ مُوسَى عَنْ أَهْلِهِ وَ قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ ثماني [ثَمَانٍ] وَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. from Abi Abdullah (a.s.) that he said: “In the Qaim there is resemblance to Musa bin Imran. I asked: What is the resemblance to Musa bin Imran? He replied: Secret birth and occultation from his people. I asked: How long was Musa in occultation from his family and followers? He replied: For twenty-eight years. read full event in: reddit.com/r/islamiccalendar or WhatsApp channel — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/kgUhPap

Birth of Al-Qasim ibn al-Imam al-Hasan (a) The mother of Hazrat Qasim and Hazrat Abdullah is Najmah Khatun(s.a), who was also called Ramla.(Irshad vol. 2 p. 20) He was three years and a few months old at the time of the martyrdom of his father, Imam Hassan (a.s) And he was martyred at the age of thirteen on the day of Ashura in the arms of his noble uncle Imam Hussein (a.s). According to some sayings, considering that Hazrat Qasim (a.s) was thirteen years and a few months old on the day of Ashura, he was born at the beginning of Ramadan. But Arabic-speaking Shiites celebrate the birth of Hazrat Qasim in the fourteenth month of Sha'ban and the last days of Sha'ban. But the fifth day of Ramadan is more famous and significant. Husayn bin Hamadan Hazeeni has related through his chain of authorities from Abu Hamza Sumali, while Sayyid Bahrani has related without quoting his chain of authorities from him, that he says that I heard from Imam Ali Zainul Abedeen (a.s.) that he said: “On the night preceding his Martyrdom, my father gathered his family and companions and said, “O people of my family and my Shi’ah! Consider this night, which has come to you as a mounting Camel and save yourselves, for these people do not desire anyone else except me. Then after having killed me, they shall not pursue you. May Allah have mercy upon you! Save yourselves. Verily I lift the responsibility of the allegiance and pledge which you have taken at my hands.” Hearing this his brothers, relatives and companions unanimously said, “By Allah O our Master! O Aba Abdillah! We shall never betray you, so that people may say that we had abandoned our Imam, our chief and master until he was martyred. Then we would seek excuses between ourselves and Allah. And we shall not leave you until we ransom ourselves upon you.” Imam said, “Verily I shall be killed tomorrow and everyone from among yourselves too shall be killed with me, and none among you shall be spared.” To which they replied, “Praise be to Allah, that He has bestowed grace upon us to assist you, and has offered distinction to us to get martyred along with you. more in comments @shiacalendar.en — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/jvEKQzH

Ramadan 4 53 AH Death of Ziyad b. Abih @shiacalendar.en He is known as Ziad Ibn Abih , Ziad Ibn Ummah, Ziad Ibn Ubayd, and Ziad Ibn Somayeh, and because his father was not known for his multiplicity, he was called Ziad Ibn Abiyyah. When he joined Mu'awiyah, he was called Ziad ibn Abi Sufyan and he became Mu'awiyah's brother and accepted his mother's adultery Somayeh was a slave of Harith bin Kaldeh. Harith had forced Somayeh to graze the sheep, but Somayeh's ugly and sensual nature caused so much disgrace in the desert that Harith left her. From then on, Somayeh attached herself to Obaid, the shepherd of Saghafi, and officially became one of the prostitutes of Taif, and tarnished the status of Obaid's family. His brotherhood with Muawiyah was one of the ways that Muawiyah used to attract him. He organized a meeting and used some people as witnesses there, including Abu Maryam Taif liquor seller. He got up and said loudly: One night Abu Sufyan came to Taif and asked me for a prostitute. That night, there was no one but Somayeh. We waited until the brothel was empty. I sent Somayeh to him (Sharh nahj al-balagha (by Ibn Abi l-Hadid) vol. 16, p. 187 alvaghayeh val havadeth (الوقایع و الحوادث) vol. Ramadan, p. 75.

Muawiyah, to convince him of this lineage, sent his sister to Ziad's house and ordered her to remove her hijab because Ziad is her brother now! and There is no need for a hijab Ziad hated Imam Ali (as) after his brotherhood with Muawiyah and started killing the Shiites and looting their property . His crimes included beheading, tearing the abdomen, hanging, burying alive, Putting a fried iron bar on the eyes of the Shiites, beheading children, destroying houses, and setting them on fire (Shafa al-Sadr: vol. 1, p. 315, quoted by Ibn Khalqan and Ibn Athir) Ziad killed 13,000 people in Basra and Kufa for being Shiites or possibly Shiites, and then wrote to Muawiyah: I did what you asked ... ⬇more in comments — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/OVy2ZnP

The revelation of the Injil/Bible to Prophet Isa/Jesus (a.s) According to the author of "Waqi'at al-Ayyam", the revelation of the heavenly book "Injil" to Isa Ibn Maryam (as) took place on the third day of Ramadan Imam as-Sadiq has said, Injeel was sent down (revealed) on the 13th night of the month of Ramadhan. In another hadith according to the same source it was on the 12th night @shiacalendar.en It is reported that Allah had appointed ‘Isa only to The Israelites and the jurisdiction of his Messengership was limited to the Jerusalem. After him his twelve Haaris (associates) became his successors. It is mentioned in Abu-Dharr’s hadith that the holy Prophet said, “The first Prophet of The Israelites was Musa and their last messenger was ‘Isa. In between them six hundred Prophets had been appointed (by Allah).” all the Prophets continued to prophesize the advent of Prophet Muhammad (S). As mentioned by Allah in Quran: الَّذِي يَجِدُونَهُ مَكْتُوبًا عِنْدَهُمْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ “Whom they find written down with them in the Taurat and the Injeel, (who) enjoins them good and forbids them evil …”Surah Araaf 7:157 And in the words of Isa (a.s.): وَمُبَشِّرًا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ “And giving the good news of an Apostle who will come after me, his name being Ahmad Surah Saff 61:6 Thus Musa and Isa (a.s.) had clearly prophesied about Prophet Muhammad (S) just as the previous Prophets had informed about the Prophets to come after them. This continued till the time of Prophet Muhammad (S). When the last moments of the Holy Prophet (S) arrived the Almighty revealed to him to entrust all the knowledge and relics to Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.) and promised that they shall remain in his progeny forever just as they had remained from the time of Adam (a.s.). read full event and sources (Arabic and English) in: reddit.com/r/islamiccalendar or WhatsApp channel (DM 4 the Link) or telegram : https://ift.tt/L0zEqOv — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/vfT1oZk
