Editing Muharram (section)

==Hadith on Muharram==
1: Through successive chain of transmitters, Shaikh Saduq relates from Ibn Masroor, from Ibn Amir, from his uncle, from Ibrahim bin Abi Mahmood, who says that Imam [[Ali al-Rida|al-Rida]]  said,

Muharram is a month in which bloodshed was considered unlawful by the pre-Islamic pagan Arabs, but our blood was shed in this month. Our sanctity was violated and our children & women-folk were made captives. Our tents were set ablaze and whatever was found therein was looted. And they did not even honor the relation, which we share with the Prophet of Allah. The day on which [[Hussain ibn Ali|Imam Hussain]] was martyred has injured our eyes and our tears are constantly flowing since then. Our dear ones were dishonored on the plains of grief and trials (Karbo bala) making way for sorrows and sufferings until Qiyamah. Thus, sorrowful people should mourn over it (the [[martyrdom]] of Imam Hussain), for weeping upon it nullifies the major sins.”

Then he said,

“When the month of Muharram would approach, no one would see my father (Imam Musa al-Kadhim) ever laughing until the tenth, and grief would prevail upon him. And the tenth would be the day of sorrow, grief and lamenting, and he would say: This is the day when Hussain was massacred.”

2: Through my connecting chain of transmitters reaching Shaikh Saduq, who relates from Talqani, from Ahmad Hamadani, from Ali bin Hasan bin Fazzal who relates from his father that Imam Ali al-Rida said,

“Whoever avoids attending to his worldly affairs on the tenth of Muharram, Allah will fulfill all the wishes and desires of this world as well as the hereafter. Whoever considers this day to be a day of mourning, sorrow and weeping for himself, Allah the Glorified will make the day of Qiyamah to be a day of rejoicing for him and his eyes will be cooled in Paradise on account of us. And whoever considers the tenth of Muharram to be a day of prosperity and buys something for his house (considering it a good omen), then Allah will not give him affluence in that thing. And on the day of Qiyamah he will be made to arise along with [[Yazid]],[[Obayd-Allah Ibn Ziad|Obayd-allah bin Ziyad]] and [[Omar Ibn Sa’d|Omar ibn Sa’ad]] (may Allah’s curse be on all of them) and will be thrown into the lowest abyss of hell.”
