The Life of Imam Ḥusayn رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ
Imam Ḥusayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ said:
If a person loves me for worldly reasons; then know a worldly person will love anybody, be they pious or evil. As for those who love me only for the sake of Allah Almighty, they shall be with me on the Day of Judgement like this.
After saying this, Imam Ḥusayn رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ joined his index and middle finger.[1]
Forgiven for loving Ḥusayn رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ
The scholar Ibn Jawzī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه writes:
One day, ʿAmr bin Layth’s رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه army was assembled in front of him. As he looked across the vastness of it he thought to himself, “If only I was present in Karbala with Imam Ḥusayn رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ. If I had an army of this size with me then, I would sacrifice them, my honour, my name, and myself at the imam’s feet.”
A saint of the time then saw the Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in a dream, who said, “Tell ʿAmr bin Layth’s I am aware of his thoughts and have accepted them. Allah Almighty will grant him great reward for this.”[2]
After ʿAmr bin Layth رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه passed away, someone saw him in a dream and asked, “How did Allah Almighty deal with you?” He replied, “Allah Almighty forgave me, due to the thought I had out of love for Imam Ḥusayn رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ.”[3]
