to serve Imam Husayn رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, then the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم will most definitely favour him, just as we heard in the aforementioned account that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came into the dream of one of his slaves and gave the glad tidings for ‘Amr Bin Lays and accepted the thought that crossed his heart. Let us listen to the other blessings that ‘Amr Bin Lays received by virtue of his love for Imam Husayn رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ.

He was forgiven due to his love for Imam Husayn

The governor of Khurasan, ‘Amr Bin Lays was seen in a dream after his death, and was asked, ‘How did Allah Almighty deal with you?’ He said, ‘Allah Almighty forgave me.’ He was asked, ‘Why were you forgiven?’ He said, ‘I was once looking at the vastness of my army from a mountain and became happy, when a desire entered my heart: if only I was present in the plains of Karbala when the army of Yazeed was being unjust and cruel towards Imam Husayn رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ and the Ahl-ul-Bayt, رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم I would have aided them. Thus, the Most Generous Lord forgave me, due to this intention of mine.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

O devotees of the Sahabah and Ahl-ul-Bayt! It is a reality that the person who fills his heart with love for the Ahl-ul-Bayt رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم he will attain a portion of the blessings of this world and the hereafter, as loving the Ahl-ul-Bayt رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم is like loving the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم himself. Loving the Ahl-ul-Bayt is a source of many blessings in both this world and the hereafter, to such an extent, that loving the Ahl-ul-Bayt is a means of attaining the intercession of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:

The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: The one who wishes to attain mediation and desires to serve me, due to which, I will intercede for him on the Day of Judgement, then he should serve my Ahl-ul-Bayt رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم and keep them happy. (Barakaat-e-Aal-e-Rasool, p. 110)

O devotees of the Ahl-ul-Bayt! We should act upon the illuminating teachings of the Ahl-ul-Bayt رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم, and in particular, of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn
