THE TOMB OF IMAM HUSAYN IBN ALI IBN MUHAMMAD
Near the tombs of Imam al-Hadi and Imam al-'Askari ('a),
there lies the tomb of al-Husayn the son of Imam al-Hadi and
the brother of Imam al-'Askari as well as other tombs of
great personalities from the descendants of the Holy Prophet
(i.e. sayyids). Although I, personally, have not put my hand on
the biography of al-Husayn, he seems to have been one of
the sublime and great personalities. Some traditions have
mentioned that Imam al-Hasan al-'Askari ('a) and his brother
al-Husayn were called the two grandsons, being resembled
to the two grandsons of the Holy Prophet, namely, Imam al-
Hasan and Imam al-Husayn the sons of Imam 'Ali, peace be
upon them all.
According to the tradition reported by Abu'l-Tayyib, the voice
of Imam al-Mahdi ('a) was similar to the voice of al-Husayn.
In his book of Shajarat al-Awliya, Sayyid Ahmad al-Ardukani
al-Yazdi, the wise jurisprudent and traditionist, mentioning
the sons of Imam 'Ali al-Hadi, says that his son al-Husayn
was one of the famous ascetics and worshippers and he
professed the Imamate of his brother.
A deep investigation may lead to more points of the virtues
and sublimity of this personality than what I have obtained.
