Sayyidunā Imam Ḥusain رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ and his loyal companions. The hearts of the devotees of the Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم are refreshed by the memories of the sacrifices of the blessed Ahl al-Bayt. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! We are Ḥusaini; we remember Karbala and continue to listen to its accounts. Today, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه, we will listen to an account regarding Sayyidunā Imam Ḥusain رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, his devotion to worship, and his love and attachment to the Quran, Hadith, and the purified Shariah. Before this, let us listen to a faith-refreshing Hadith and its brief explanation:

A Magnificent Gathering in Honour of the Ḥasanain (Imams Ḥasan and Ḥusain)

The great Muḥaddith, Imam al-Ṭabarānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, mentions in Al-MuꜤjam al-Kabīr that Sayyidunā ꜤAbdullāh b. ꜤAbbās رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ—who is a companion of the Messenger, a scholar of the Quran, and the chief of the commentators—narrates:

Once, it was the time for Asr Salah. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came to the mosque, the Takbeer (i.e., Iqamat) was called, and the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم began leading Salah.

The noble Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم continued the Salah as usual. Finally, the fourth rakꜤāt was completed; he performed the Salam and seated both grandsons in front of him. Then Sayyidunā Imam Ḥusain رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, leaped towards his grandfather. The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم picked them up and seated Imam Ḥasan رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ upon his right shoulder and Imam Ḥusain رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ upon his left shoulder.

Dear Islamic brothers! The blessed Hadith continues further. After this, the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم described the virtues of both of them. But before we
