Imam Hussain (Husayn) truthfulness Story
Some people hold the view that Imaam Hussain’s (May Almighty-Allah be well pleased with him) going to Karbala & his martyrdom is a political matter & is a battle for the sake of gaining power. All this after the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon Him) commanded the Ummah to support Imam Husayn (May Almighty-Allah be well pleased with him). Can anybody claim that the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon Him) gave the command to help somebody to get a seat of power or to support somebody in hankering after the material world?
There is a Hadith in Kanzul-Ummal: Translation: Verily, My son Hussain (May Almighty-Allah be well pleased with him) will be martyred in an area in Iraq, so whoever among the Ummah is present at that time, should stand up in support of him. (Kanzul-Ummal, Volume. 13, Page No. 111)
How could Imaam Husayn (May Almighty-Allah be well pleased with him) desire the temporary power of this world when the whole creation gets the wealth of piety from the doorstep of his house? How could he desire this world, when the following Hadith of the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon Him) was before him:
Translation: A whip’s space of paradise (i.e. the place taken to keep a whip) is better than this world & everything in it. (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith No: 3250) Imam hussein (May Almighty-Allah be well pleased with him) is the leader of all the young men of the Jannah whose whip’s length of space is better than this world. (Jame’ Tirmidhi, Volume. 2, Page No. 217, Hadith No: 3701)
