The Dictations · Hadith 223 (#Ḥadīth #7)

223 / 7 - حدثنا أبي (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن الحسن بن موسى الخشاب، عن علي بن حسان الواسطي، عن عمه عبد الرحمن بن كثير الهاشمي، عن داود بن كثير الرقي، قال: كنت عند أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) إذ استسقى الماء، فلما شربه رأيته وقد استعبر واغرورقت عيناه بدموعه، ثم قال: يا داود، لعن الله قاتل الحسين، فما أنغص (3) ذكر الحسين للعيش! إني ما شربت ماء باردا إلا وذكرت الحسين، وما من عبد شرب الماء فذكر الحسين (عليه السلام) ولعن قاتله إلا كتب الله له مائة ألف حسنة، ومحا عنه مائة ألف سيئة، ورفع له مائة ألف درجة، وكان كأنما أعتق مائة ألف نسمة، وحشره الله يوم القيامة أبلج (4) الوجه (5).

My father narrated to us. He said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us from al-Hasan b. Musa al Khashshab from `Ali b. Hassan al-Wasiti from his paternal uncle `Abd al-Rahman b. Kathir al-Hashimi from Dawud b. Kathir al-Riqqi. He said. He said: I was near Abu `Abdillah when he sought water. When he had drunk it, I saw that he had been crying and his eyes had been filled to the brim with his tears. Then he said: O Dawud! May Allah curse the murderer of al-Husayn. The remembrance of al-Husayn has made life loathsome! I do not drink cold water but that I remember al-Husayn. And there is not a servant who drinks water and remembers al-Husayn and curses his murderer, but that Allah writes down for him a hundred thousand good deeds and erases a hundred thousand evil deeds from him and raises him by a hundred thousand ranks. He is as if he has freed a hundred thousand lives and Allah will gather him on the Day of Resurrection with a luminous face.
