138 - حُسَينٌ مِنِّي وأنا مِنهُ‏

138. Husayn is from Me and I am from Him

428.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : أمّا الحُسَينُ فَإنَّهُ مِنّي وَهُوَ ابني وَوَلَدي وَخَيرُ الخَلقِ بَعدَ أخيهِ وَهُوَ إمامُ المُسلِمينَ وَمَولى المُؤمِنينَ وَخَليفَةُ رَبِّ العالَمينَ وَغياثُ المُستَغيثينَ وَكَهفُ المُستَجيرينَ وَحُجَّةُ اللَّهِ عَلى خَلقِهِ‏أجمَعينَ وَهُوَ سَيِّدُ شَبابِ أهلِ الجَنَّةِ وَبابُ نَجاةِ الاُمَّةِ أمرُهُ أمري وَطاعَتُهُ طاعَتي مَن تَبِعَهُ فَإنَّهُ مِنّي وَمَن عَصاهُ فَلَيسَ مِنّي .¹

428.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'As for Husayn, he is from me, he is my son, my offspring, and the best of all mankind after his brother. He is the Imam of the Muslims, the Master of the Believers, the vicegerent of the Lord of the Universe, the helper of those who seek assistance, the refuge of those who seek refuge, the proof of Allah on all of His creation. He is the chief of the youth of Paradise, the door to the community's salvation. His command is my command. Obedience to him is obedience to me. Whoever follows him is associated with me and whoever disobeys him cannot be associated with me.' ²

429.بحار الأنوار عن البَراءِ بنِ عازِبٍ : رأيتُ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله حاملَ الحسينِ عليه السلام وهُو يقولُ : اللَّهُمَّ إنّي اُحِبُّهُ فأحِبَّهُ .³

429. al-Bara' b. 'Azib narrated, 'I saw the Prophet carrying Husayn and saying, 'O Allah, indeed I love him, so you love him too.' ⁴

430.المستدرك على الصحيحين عَن يَعلَى العامِريِّ : إنَّهُ خَرَجَ مَعَ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله إلى طَعامٍ دَعوا لَهُ ، قالَ : فاستَقَبلَ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله أمامَ القَومِ وَحُسَينٌ مَع الغُلمانِ يَلعَبُ فَأرادَ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله أن يَأخُذَهُ فَطَفِقَ الصَّبيُ يَفِرُّ هاهُنا مَرَّةً وَهاهُنا مَرَّةً فَجَعَلَ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله يُضاحِكُهُ حَتَّى أخَذَهُ ، قالَ : فَوَضَعَ إحدى يَديهِ تَحتَ قَفاهُ وَالاُخرى تَحتَ ذِقنِهِ فَوَضَعَ فاهُ عَلى فيهِ يُقَبِّلُهُ ، فَقالَ : حُسَينٌ مِنّى وَأنا مِن حُسَينٍ أحَبَّ اللَّهُ مَن أحَبَّ حُسَيناً ، حُسَينٌ سِبطٌ مِنَ الأسباطِ .⁵

430. Said b. Abi Rashid narrated on the authority of Yala al-'Amiri, that he accompanied the Prophet (SAWA) to a meal that he had been invited to. [He narrates], 'The Prophet (SAWA) went ahead towards the people whilst Husayn was playing with the other children. The Prophet (SAWA) wanted to take him, but the child ran from here to there. So the Prophet (SAWA) started to make him laugh until he finally caught him. Then he put one hand behind his neck and the other under his chin, then placed his mouth on Husayn's mouth and kissed him. He then said, 'Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn. May Allah love one who loves Husayn. Husayn is a special grandson from among other grandchildren.' ⁶
