أتاني جِبْريلُ فأخْبَرَنِي أنَّ أمَّتِي سَتَقْتُلُ ابْنِي هذا – يَعْني الحُسَيْنَ – وأتانِي بِتُرْبَةٍ مِنْ تءَرْبَت
(ك) عن أم الفضل بنت الحارث.)
Gabriel came to me and told me that members of my ummah would kill this son of mine – meaning al-Husayn – and he came bringing with him a red clay [2] . ” This hadeeth was narrated by al-Hakim 3/176 from the words of Umm al-Fadl bint al-Haris.
Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith authentic. See “Sahih al-jami ‘as-sagir” 61, “al-Silsil as-sahiha” 821.
[1] Husayn ibn ‘Ali ibn Abu Talib is the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.
[2] Apparently, this refers to the clay, which turned red with blood, as an indication that al-Husayn will be killed. Allah knows better.
