❄EXCELLENCE OF MUHARRAM & IMAAM HUSSAIN❄
Post 016

🐎Setting off from Madinah Munawwarah🐎

Yazeed had planned to first take oath from Imaam Hussain (Radi’Allaho Ta’Ala Anhu) and once he had achieved this no one else would dare to decline pledging allegiance to him. When Imaam Hussain refused, his plans were shattered and he became furious. Yazeed sent a message to Waleed that if Imaam Hussain did not agree to pledge allegiance to him, he should be killed and his head sent to Yazeed. When Waleed received a number of such messages, he was compelled to disclose the evil plans of Yazeed to Imaam Hussain. Imam Hussain took some advice from the companions and decided to leave Madinah.

Imagine the state of Imaam Hussain when he must have paid his final respects to his Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam). With a mountain of grief on his heart and tears flowing from his eyes, he must have cried, ‘O grandfather, who rode us on his shoulder, who kissed our forehead and cuddled us, who extended his Prostrations for us, look at our state. We are being forced to leave the most beloved land by some evil men, please permit us to leave, Ya Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam).

Imagine the state of Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam) himself been when he was witnessing the departure of the one who was nurtured by his love, the beloved son of his beloved daughter. After all it was Imam Hussain, due to whom Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam) sacrificed his own son. Even the slightest displeasure felt by Imaam Hussain would upset and grieve Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam). These are the thoughts which upset, disturb and grieve the hearts of those who truly love Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam) and his blessed family.

It is stated in Raudatus Shuhda that Imaam Hussain (Radi’Allaho Ta’Ala Anhu) first visited Jannatul Baqi to pay his respects to his blessed mother Sayyeda Fatima and his brother Imam Hasan, and then went to the blessed Rauda of Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam). After offering his salutations and confiding in Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam) about his situation, he fell asleep.

In his dream, Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam) was holding his head in his lap. Imaam Hussain urged, ‘Ya Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam), I am being forced to leave your blessed city by some evil elements and I feel I will never be able to come here again.’ Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam) Sallam replied, ‘Soon you will join me and I see that you are being mercilessly killed in Karbala in a desperate state of hunger and thirst. O Hussain, be steadfast and accomplish your task. It won’t be long before you join your father, mother and brother when you will be sitting with us enjoying the immeasurable bounties of your Merciful Lord.’

At this point, Imaam Hussain (Radi’Allaho Ta’Ala Anhu) woke up and he became certain that his martyrdom was near. Hence, on the 4th of Sha’baan, 60 Hijri, he set off towards Makkah Mukarramah with his family and companions, leaving the people of Madinah grieving on his departure. After reaching Makkah in Sha’baan, he lived peacefully for the following four months of Ramadhan, Shawwal, Zil Qa’dah and Zil-Hajj. The people of Makkah were very proud and pleased that the grandson of Rasool’Allah (Salallahu Alaihe Wasallam) was living amongst them.

Sa’eed bin Aas was the governor of Makkah who was appointed by Yazeed. Upon seeing the arrival of Imam Hussain (Radi’Allaho Ta’Ala Anhu) and realising his growing importance, he cautioned Yazeed, which frustrated him even more.
