THE VALUES OF MUHARRAM-iii

Paradise - The Recompense of A'zadari  Imam 'Ali Ibn al-Husain (A.S.) used to say:   Every Mu'min, whose eyes shed tears upon the killing of Husain Ibn 'Ali (A.S.) and his companions, such that the tears roll down his cheeks, Allah shall accommodate him in the elevated rooms of Paradise.  Yanaabe'al-Mawaddah, pg.   419.  Mourning in the Houses  For those unable to go for the ziarat of Imam Husain (A.S.) on the day of A'ashura, Imam Baqir (A.S.) mentions the manner of performing A'zadari as follows:  He should mourn over Husain (A.S.), weep for him and instruct the members of the house to weep for him. He should establish the mourning ceremony in the house by exhibiting lamentations and grief over him; the people should meet one another in their homes and offer condolences and consolation to each other over the calamities which befell him.  Kaamil al-Ziyaraat pg. 175  'Ali (A.S.) Weeps While Grieving the Martyrs of Kerbala  Imam Baqir (A.S.) said:  Amirul Mu'mineen (A.S.), along with two of his companions, happened to pass by Kerbala and as he did so, tears filled his eyes. He said (to them), "This is the resting place of their animals; and this is where their luggage shall be laid down; and it is here that their blood shall be shed. Blessed are you O' Earth, that the blood of the beloved shall be spilled upon you."
