The Messenger of Allah (saww) was sitting one day when Al-Hassan (as) came. When He (saww) saw Him (as), He wept and said: "Come to Me, My Son!" and He sat Him on His right Leg.
Then, Al-Hussain (as) came. When He (saww) saw Him (as), He wept and said: "Come to Me, My Son!" and He sat Him on His left Leg.
Then, Sayyida Fatima (sa) came. When He saw Her, He wept and said: "Come to Me, My Daughter!" and He sat Her down in front of Him.
Then, the Commander of the Faithful (Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as)) came. When He saw Him, He wept and said: "Come to Me, My Brother!" and He sat Him down to His right side.
So His companions said to Him: "Oh Messenger of Allah (saww)! You did not see one of these except that you wept.
What is in Them that caused this?"
The Messenger (saww) replied: "By He who raised Me up as a Prophet, and selected Me above all of the people! I and Them are the dearest creatures to Allah, and nothing on the face of the Earth is more beloved to Me than Them.
As for Ali Ibn Abi Talib, He is My Brother and My confidant, the Master of the Order after Me, the Master of My brigade in this world and the Hereafter, and the Master of My Pond and My intercession. He is the Master of every Muslim, the Imam of every Believer, and the leader of every pious person. He is My deputy and My vicegerent over My family and My Nation both during My life and after My death. Love of Him is love of Me, hatred of Him is hatred of Me. By His allegiance, My Nation is given mercy, and by opposing Him, the opponents were cursed.
I wept when He came because I remembered My Nation's betrayal of Him after Me - He will be betrayed until He is unable to take my seat. Allah has made Him after Me, and His authority will not fall until the side of His head is struck and His beard is soaked by it (with blood) in the best month, the month of Ramadan, in which the Qur'an was revealed as guidance for the people and elucidations of guidance and a criterion.
As for My Daughter Fatima, She is the Mistress of the Women of the Worlds, from the first to the last. She is a part of Me, the light of My eye, the fruit of My heart, and My spirit within Me. She is a human houri. Whenever She stands at Her prayer-niche before Her Lord, Her light illuminates for the Angels of the heavens, just as the light of the stars illuminate for the people of the Earth; and Allah says to His Angels, Oh My Angels! Look at My Female servant Fatima, the Mistress of My Female servants, standing before Me. Her chest shivers out of fear of Me, and She has set Her heart to worshiping Me. I bear witness to you that I have made Her followers safe from the Fire.' When I saw Her, I remembered what would happen to Her after Me. It is as if I Am with Her, as disgrace enters Her home, and Her sanctity is violated, and Her right is taken away, and She is prevented from Her inheritance, and Her side (rib) is broken, and Her Fetus is miscarried as She calls, Oh Muhammada!' and She is not answered. She will call for help, but not be helped. After Me, She will always be grieving, distressed, and weeping. In a moment, She will recall the cessation of revelation to Her house, and in the next moment, She will recall My absence. She will be lonely when night comes to Her and She does not hear My voice reciting the Qur'an in the night prayer. She will see Herself become humiliated after being honoured in the days of Her Father. At that, Allah will give Her solace through the Angels, and they will call to Her what they called to Mary the Daughter of `Imran. They will say: Oh Fatima! Surely, Allah has chosen You, purified You, and chosen You above the women of the worlds. Oh Fatima! Devote Yourself to Your Lord, prostrate, and bow with those who bow.' Then, Her pain will begin and She will become ill, so Allah will send Mary the Daughter of Imran to Her, to take care of Her in Her illness and give Her solace. At that, Fatima will say: Oh Lord! I have despised life, and I Am discontented with the people of this world, so reunite Me with My Father.' So Allah will reunite Her with Me, and She will be the first to follow Me from My Family. She will come to Me grieving, distressed, sorrowful, robbed, and killed. At that, I will say: 'May Allah curse those who oppressed Her, and punish those who robbed Her, and humiliate those who humiliated Her, and put he who struck Her side and caused Her miscarriage in the Fire forever.' At that, the Angels will say: Ameen.
As for Al-Hassan, He is My Son and My child. He is from Me, the joy of My eye, the light of My Heart, and the fruit of My Heart. He is the Master of the Youth of Paradise, and the Proof of Allah upon the Nation. His order is My order, and His words are My words. Whomever follows Him is of Me, and whomever disobeys Him is not of Me. When I looked at Him, I remembered the humiliation He will experience after Me. His authority will remain until He is killed with poison in oppression and enmity. At that, the Angels will weep over His death, and everything will weep over Him, including the birds in the sky and the whales in the sea. Whomever weeps over Him will not be blinded on the Day that the eyes will be blinded. Whomever grievs over Him will not grieve on the Day that the hearts will grieve. Whomever visits Him in His Baqi, His feet will be firm on the Path on the Day that the feet will falter.
As for Al-Hussain, He is from Me, He is My Son and My child. He is the best of the creation after His brother. He is the Imam of the Muslims, the Master of the believers, the vicegerent of the Lord of the Worlds, the helper of those who seek help, the cave of those who seek refuge, the Proof of Allah upon His whole creation, the Master of the Youth of Paradise, and the Gate of Salvation of My Nation. His order is My order, His obedience is My obedience. Whomever follows Him is of Me, and whomever disobeys Him is not of Me. When I saw Him, I remembered what will happen to Him after Me. It is as if I Am with Him when He appeals for help by My sanctity and My grave but He is not helped. So I will come to Him in His dream and order Him to take a trip to Me, and I will give Him glad tidings of martyrdom. So He will go to the land of His killing and His demise, the land of suffering and calamity and killing and annihilation. A group of Muslims will support Him, and they will be from the Masters of the Martyrs of My Nation on the Day of Resurrection. It is as if I Am looking at Him as is struck with a spear and falls off of His horse. He will then be slaughtered as an oppressed ram is slaughtered."
Then, the Messenger of Allah (saww) wept, and those around Him wept, and their voices were raised. Then, He (saww) stood, saying:
"Oh Allah, I complain to You regarding what will happen to My Ahlul-Bait after Me." Then, He entered His house.
