THE VALUES OF MUHARRAM-ii

Laughing Eyes 

The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said:  

O' Fatimah! Every eye shall be weeping on the Day of Judgment except the eye which has shed tears over the tragedy of Husain (A.S.) for surely, that eye shall be laughing and shall be given the glad tidings of the bounties and comforts of Paradise. 

Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 44 pg. 193. 

 Reward of the Martyred Companions 

mam Redha (A.S.) said (to one of his companions):  

If you desire that for you be the reward equivalent to that of those martyred along with Husain (A.S.), then whenever you remember him say: ' Oh! Would that I had been with them! A great achievement would I have achieved'.

Wasaail al-Shia'h, vol.  14, pg. 501 

The Customary Mourning 

Abu Haroon al-Makfoof said:  

I presented myself before Imam Sadiq (A.S.) whereupon he said to me: "Recite for me a poetry" and so I recited for him. He said "Not in this manner. Recite for me as you recite poems and elegies over the grave of Husain (A.S.)" and so I recited for him (again). 

Bihar al Anwar vol 44, pg.  287. 

Reward for Reciting Poetry about Husain (A.S.) 

Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said:  

There is none who recites poetry about Husain (A.S.) and weeps and makes others weep by means of it, except that Allah makes Paradise incumbent upon him and forgives his sins.
