Marvels of Sayyiduna Imam Hussain رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہ

Ruswa-e-khalq ho gaye barbad ho gaye

Mardudon! Tum ko zillat her dawsara mili

Tum nay ujara Hadrat-e-Zahra ka bostan

Tum khud ujar gaye tumhayn yeh bad-Du’a mili

Dunya parastaun! Deen say munh mor ker tumhayn

Dunya mili na ‘aysh-o-tarab ki hawa mili

Aakhir dikhaya rang shahidon kay khoon nay

Sar kat gaye amaan na tumhayn ik zara mili

Paayi hay kya Na’eem unho nay abhi saza

Daykhayn gey woh Jaheem mayn jis din saza mili

Recitation of the Holy Quran atop the spear

Sayyiduna Zayd Bin Arqam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has stated, ‘When the Yazeedi comrades raised the refulgent head of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ atop a spear and paraded through the streets of Kufa, at that time I was in upstairs of my house; when the refulgent head passed by me I heard the blessed head reciting the 9th verse of Surah Al-Kahf:

اَمۡ  حَسِبۡتَ   اَنَّ   اَ صۡحٰبَ  ا لۡکَہۡفِ   وَ  الرَّ قِیۡمِ  ۙ   کَانُوۡا  مِنۡ   اٰیٰتِنَا   عَجَبًا   ﴿۹﴾

Did you come to know that the men of the cave and of the jungle’s side were a wonderful sign of Ours.

 [Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 15, Surah Al-Kahf, verse 9)

(Shawahid-un-Nubuwwah, pp. 231)
