@M Al-khaldi Imam Hussain A.S (the son of Imam Ali A.S and Fatima bint Muhammed) is Prophet Muhammed's beloved grandson. Prophet Muhammad S.A.W showed deep love for his grandsons. One of the most beautiful and deep aspects of the life of Imam Hussain A.S, is the great and excessive attention that Prophet Muhammad S.A.W showed towards him and his elder brother Imam Hassan A.S The affection of the Prophet S.A.W towards Imam Hassan A.S and Imam Hussain A.S was so obvious, that historians and narrators have recorded many different instances of this affection. I will appoint out only a few of the incidents. The Prophet S.A.W was invited to dinner. As he was walking with his companions, he saw his little grandson, Imam Hussain A.S playing in the valley. The Prophet S.A.W went forward to grab him, but he ran away childishly. With a gentle smile on his face, the Prophet S.A.W started running after him until he finally caught him. He then put a hand around the Imams neck, another hand under his chin, and kissed him. The Prophet S.A.W then said: "Hussain is from me and I am from Hussain. May Allah love that person who loves Hussain." 1 Zeid, the son of Harith, narrates: I wanted to go see the Prophet S.A.W regarding a task. I went to his house at night and knocked on the door. The Prophet S.A.W opened the door, while he had something hidden under his cloak. I told him about my task and when we were finished, I asked him: "O' the Messenger of Allah, what do you have under your cloak?" He opened his cloak and showed Hassan and Hussain PBUT. He said, "These are my children and the children of my daughter." At that moment the Prophet S.A.W looked towards the sky and said: "O Allah! You are aware that I love these two children, so You love them too, and love those who love these two." 2 Salman Farsi has narrated that the Prophet S.A.W said such about Imam Hassan A.S and Imam Hussain A.S: "Whoever loves my children Hassan and Hussain, (then) I love them; and whoever I love, Allah loves him; and whoever Allah loves, he will enter a heavenly state filled with blessings. However, he who shows enmity towards the two and oppresses them, I will consider him as my enemy; and whomever I consider an enemy, Allah will be his enemy, and will throw him in the hell fire where he will suffer forever."3 The Prophet S.A.W also said: "Through me, you (people) came to awareness, with Ali you found the way and were guided, all good came to you through Hassan, however, your happiness and wretchedness is with Hussain. Be aware that Hussain is one of the doors of paradise. Whoever shows enmity towards him will be deprived from the scent of paradise."4 This kind of love and attention toward Imam Hassan A.S and Hussain A.S is not just a family love, rather it is beyond that. Similar narrations like the ones above all show that with the knowledge of what will come upon the Muslim community, the Prophet S.A.W wanted to make people aware of truth and falsehood. (Taken from the book "Imam Hussain (A.S.) and Ashura from the view point of Sunnies" published by the institute of principles of the religion at Qum.) 1) Ansab al-Ashraf by Ahmad ibn Jabir ibn al Bladhori , Dar al-Ta'arof for al-Matboo'at ,Beirut 1977 2) Tarikh (history) al-Umam and al-Mamluk known as the History of Tabari, Cairo 1979 3) al-Tabaqat al-Kobra also Known as Tabaqat ibn Sa'ad. 4) Morooj al-Dhahab and Ma'adin al-Jawhar, Ali ibn al-Hussian ibn Ali Masoudi, Matba'at al-Sa'adah, Cario 1964

[@nadskaz]

@M Al-khaldi well to make things sence one should research. Just because you don't understand doesn't mean things are nonsense. You should try researching, gaining knowledge, logical reasonings, and then you can conclude the connection between the Prophet Muhammed S.A.W and Imam Hussain A.S, and see how it goes for you to define 'blessed' from all this.

[@nadskaz]

@M Al-khaldi what exactly are you looking for? I mentioned previously regarding the term being blessed in this life and here after. But i shall mention the reference below. Some of the traditions recorderded in the Sunni collections of the traditions regarding Imam Husayn A.S The Messenger of Allah said: "Al-Hasan and al-Husayn are the chiefs of the youth of Paradise and Fatimah is the chief of their women." Sunni references: (1) Sahih al-Tirmidhi, v5, p660, on the authority of Abu Sa’id and Hudhayfa (2) Sunan Ibn Majah, Introduction 8 (3) al-Tabarani, on the authorities of: Umar, ‘Ali, Jabir, Abu Hurayrah, Usamah Ibn Zaid, al-Baraa, Ibn ‘Adi, and Ibn Masud. (4) al-Kubra, by al-Nisa’i (5) Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, v1, pp 62,82, v3, pp 3,64, v5, p391 (6) Fada’il al-Sahaba, by Ahmad Hanbal, v2, p771, Tradition #1360 (7) al-Mustadrak, by al-Hakim, v3, pp 166,167 (8) Hilyatul Awliyaa, by Abu Nu’aym, v5, p71 (9) Majma’ al-Zawa’id, by al-Haythami, v9, p187 (10) Tuhfatul Ashraf, by Lumzi, v3, p31 (11) Ibn Habban, as mentioned in al-Mawarid, pp 551,553 (12) al-Sawa’iq al-Muhriqah, by Ibn Hajar Haythami, Ch. 11, section 3, p290 (13) Mishkat al-Masabih, by Khatib al-Tabrizi, English Version, Tdadition #6154. In simple terms Imam Hussain A.S the chief of paradise (prophets quotes) hence one is blessed to visit the shrine of the prophets grandson. But with your supposition it would be a struggle for you to comprehend.

[@nadskaz]

@M Al-khaldi that is based on your opinion. The references are there (and there are many more to support referring to one being blessed from Imam Hussain a.s and his family) if you decide to look upon this. Holy Quran and Imam Hussain (A.S) Imam Hussain (A.S) was still a child when several verses of the Holy Quran were revealed either about or referring to him. One of those verses is referred to as the verse of Mubahilah (Quran, 3:61). On the day of Mubahilah when a spiritual contest between Prophet Muhammad (S) and the Christians of Najran was set up to invoke the curse of Allah (SWT) on the liars, Hussain (A) and his family were the only ones accompanying the Prophet. Prophet Muhammad (S) had orders from Almighty Allah (SWT) through the verse of Mubahilah to take Hassan (A.S) and Hussain (A.S) as his children with him. Imam Hussain (A.S) was one of the five people in regards to whom the verse of Tat’hir (Purification) was revealed. He, his father, brother, and mother were under the Prophet’s cloak when Allah (SWT) revealed to His Messenger: "Verily Allah desires to remove all kinds of uncleanness from only you, O Ahl al-Bayt (people of the house), and to definitely purify you." (The Holy Quran, 33:33). This verse of the Holy Quran is clear proof of the infallibility of this family and their purification from all sins and mistakes. In another verse, Allah (SWT) commands all Muslims to love those closely related to Prophet Muhammad (S): "Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives?" (Quran, 42:23). When the companions asked Prophet Muhammad (S) who these "near relatives" were, the Prophet (S) replied: "They are Ali, Fatimah and their two children."

@@martinthevegFFC greetings brother martin, would you like to explore few books which has Narrations and sermons regarding the oneness of God by the Holy Ahlulbayt (pbut)?

[@dominancepreserved8749]

@@martinthevegFFC another one, *Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (a) Refutes The Dualists* A dualist came to Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh). Among the things Imam Ja'far Al Saadiq (pbuh) said to him was: If you claim that “there are two (gods)” there can only be three possibilities. One: that both gods are eternal and all-powerful. Two: that both gods are weak. Or three: that on of them is all-powerful, and the other one is weak. Now, if both of them are powerful, then why doesn’t one of them overthrow the other, and mange all affairs single-handedly? If you believe that one of them is powerful, and the other one weak, then you have proved that He is One, and to the apparent inability of the second. And if you say that “they are two,” then only two things are possible: one, that they are both united in all aspects; or two, that they are separate in all aspects. However, when we contemplate the organization in creation, the orbits of the planets in the celestial sphere, the variation of day and night, the sun and the moon, and how everything operate in harmony, everything points that he Manager is One. Furthermore, if you claim that there are two gods, there must be a division between them both which has always existed, and that division would have to be a third god. However, if your claim that there are three gods, then there must be two divisions between them, leaving us with five gods, and so on add aeterum. Hisham (the Narrator) said: The dualist then questioned him until he asked, “What is the proof of His Existence? Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) replied, “The existence of great wonders is proof that they were created by the creator. When you see the imposing structure of building, you know instinctively that it was built by someone, even though you did not see him build it. He enquired, “What is He?” The Imam (pbuh) explained, He is a thing unlike other things. Consider the word “a thing” in order to understand its implication. Since He is Real, and He Exists, He is indeed a Thing. However, He is devoid of both body and image. He is neither sensed nor felt, nor is He perceived by the five senses. The imagination perceives Him not. He is not subject to time. Time has no effect upon Him. The questioner asked, “Therefore, you are saying that `Verily, He is All-Hearing, and All-Seeing?” The Imam (pbuh) responded, He is All-Hearing, and All-Seeing. He is All-Hearing without tools, and All-Seeing, without instruments. In fact, He hears by means of His entire being and He hears by His entire being. My statement does not mean that “He hears by means of His Entire Being” in the sense that He is something, and His Being is something else. I am simply using this example in order to answer your question. I say: “He hears by means of His Entire Being” and not in the sense that He has parts. Rather, I am attempting to make myself understood. My only other option would be to say that He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing, All-Knowing, and All-Informed, in His Very Essence. The questioner questioned, “Than what is He?” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) answered, He is the Lord. He is the Worshipped One, He is Allah. When I use the word “Allah,” I am not referring to the combination of the letters “A,” “L,” and “H”. Rather, I am pointing to its meaning. He is a thing that is the Creator of all Things, and their Manufacturer who is described by means of these letters. He is the one who is referred to by the names Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful, the Honorable, among other names. He is the Worshipped One, the High and mighty. The questioner enquired, “So anything we can conceive of it created?” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) replied: If things were as you claimed, then recognizing Divine Unity would be beyond our reach. We are not obliged to believe in what cannot be imagined. However, we say: everything we can conceive with our senses is perceived. Therefore, whatever the sense can discover and demonstrate is created. In order to prove the existence of the Creator of All Things, we must do so without recurring to two erroneous approaches: the first of which is negation, i.e. abolition [ibtal], and non-existence [`adam]; and the second is anthropomorphism, i.e. description, composition [tarkib], and formation [ta’lif]. We cannot prove the existence of the Creator on the basis of these two approaches as they are created, The Creator is not like the created. If He resembles the created, then whatever applies to the created would also apply to Him: such as coming into existence after non-existence, growth, change of color, change of strength, and so forth. The questioner said: “In attempting to prove His Existence, you have limited Him.” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) responded, “I have not limited Him. ON the contrary, I have demonstrated His Existence through the only means possible: assertion and negation.” The questioner said: “Is His Existence real and actual?” The Imam (pbuh) replied, “Yes, His Existence is Real as nothing can be prove without being real and actual.” The questioner asked, “Does He have a shape?” The Imam (pbuh) explained, No, because shape is description that delineates. We must move away from negation and anthropomorphism Whoever negates Him, denies Him, eliminates His Lordship, and abolished Him. Whoever compares Him with other things describes Him on the basis of created attributes which are not worthy of Him. Nevertheless, we must prove His Essence without referring to shape. None is worthy of His Essence besides Him. And no one shares His Essence, encompasses it, or knows it but Him. The questioner said: “Does He sustain all things by Himself?” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) answered, “He is far Greater than sustaining things directly as only created beings bring things forth directly. Exalted is He! His Intent and His Will are effective. He is the Mighty Doer of whatever He wills.” The questioner enquired, “Does He feel pleasure or anger?” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) said: Yes. However, His Pleasure and His Anger differ from the pleasure and anger fund among created beings. Among created beings, pleasure and anger cause a change of state which is an attribute of the created, the incapable, and the needy. He (Allah) is the Blessed and Exalted, the Honorable, and the Most Merciful. He is not in need of His Creation, while all His Creation is in need of Him. Verily, He created all things by means of invention and innovation, without any need or cause. The questioner uttered, “Then what about His Word: The Most Compassionate is firm on the Empyrean.” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) replied, He described Himself as such in order to convey that He is the Possessor of the Empyrean, not in the sense that the Empyrean carries the Empyrean and restrains it. And we say this because His has said: His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth. Therefore, we say of the Empyrean and the Throne what He has said: and we refute the notion that the Empyrean or the Throne contains Him as He is not in need of space or anything which He has created. On the contrary, He has created them and they are in need of Him. The questioner said: “Then what is the difference between raising your hands to heaven and lowering them towards the earth?” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) answered, That makes no difference in His Knowledge, Encompassment, and Omnipotence, but He, the Mighty and High, commanded His Beloved Ones and His Servants to raise their hands to heaven towards the Empyrean because He made it a source of sustenance. This is proved from the Qur’an. It is also proved from the tradition of the RasoolAllah (pbuh) which says: “Raise your hands to Allah the Mighty and High.” And this is agreed upon between all the schools of thought in the Ummah. The questioner asked, “How can you prove that Allah sent Prophets and messengers?” Imam Ja'far Al-Saadiq (pbuh) explained, Verily, we have proved that we have a Creator and a Producer who is Exalted from His Creation, and that he Producer is the Most Wise. It is impossible for His Creation to see Him or touch Him. He does not contact His Creation directly nor does His Creation contact Him directly. He does not reason with them, and they do not reason with Him. Thus, this proves that He has Representatives and Servants in His Creations who guide humanity towards what is best for them. They shall be granted eternitiy if they accept guidance. And they shall face destruction if they reject guidance. Evidently, those who promote the good and forbid the evil in His Creation must have been sent by the Most Wise, the All-Knowing. This demonstrates that He has Interpreters, and they are the Prophets, the Cream of His Creation, who are men of wisdom whom He has sent to guide and educate humankind. They are human in shape, but not in nature. They are endorsed by Allah, the Most Wise, the Omniscient, with wisdom, signs, proofs, and evidence, like giving life to the dead, healing lepers, and restoring sight to the blind. Verily, Allah’s earth is never without a Proof [hujjat] (of Allah) who brings the teachings of RasoolAllah (pbuh) and who embodies justice.

[@dominancepreserved8749]

For instance, *Imam Ali Al Riza's (a) (8th Imam) Sermon On The Unity/Oneness Of God* Then he (a) said, “The first element in the worship of the Sublime God is His recognition. The root of recognition of God is to profess to His Unity. The order for professing the Unity of God is to deny He has any attributes, since the powers of reasoning testify that every attribute and everything which possesses an attribute are created. Everything that is created testifies that it has a Creator which is neither an attribute nor does it possess any attributes. Every attribute and everything possessing an attribute testify to the association between the attribute and that to which it is attributed. Any association testifies to temporality. And temporality testifies that it accepts not the Beginningless which accepts not the temporal. So it is not God whose Essence is recognized through striking similitude. It is not His Unity that is professed by someone who attempts to fathom Him. It is not His reality (haqiqa) that is attained by someone who strikes a similitude for Him. It is not He who is confirmed (tasdiq) by him who professes an end for Him. If one points to Him, it is not God that is pointed to. It is not He who is meant by him who compares Him (to something). It one ascribes parts to God, he has not indeed humbled himself in the presence of God. And it is not God who is desired by one who conceives of God in his imagination. Everything that can be known in itself is fashioned. All that stands apart from Him is an effect. God is inferred from what He fashions, the recognition of Him is expedited by the powers of reasoning, and the argument for Him is established by (man's) primordial nature. God's creating of the creatures is a veil between Him and them. His separation (mubayana) from them is due to the fact that He is disengaged from their localization. That He is their origin is proof for them that He has no origin, for none that has an origin can originate others. That He has created them possessing means (of accomplishing things) is proof that He has no means (adapt) for means are witness to the poverty of those who use them. So His names are an expression, His acts are (a way) to make (Him) understood, and His Essence is Reality. His innermost center separates Him from Creation, and His otherness limits what is other than Him. Therefore ignorant of God is he who asks for Him to be described!Transgressing against Him is he who seeks to encompass Him!Mistaken is he who imagines to have fathomed Him! Whoever asks 'how?' has compared Him (to something). Whoever says 'why?' has professed for Him a cause. Whoever says 'when?' has determined Him in time. Whoever says 'in what?' has enclosed Him. Whoever says 'to what?' has professed for Him a limit. Whoever says 'until what?' has given Him an end. Whoever gives Him an end has associated an end with Him. Whoever associates an end with Him has divided Him. Whoever divides Him has described Him. Whoever describes Him has deviated from the straight path concerning Him. God does not change with the changes undergone by Creation, just as He does not become limited by delimiting that which is limited. He is One, not according to the explanation offered by number; Outward, not according to the explanation of being immediate (to the senses); Manifest, not through the appearance of a vision (of Him); Inward, not through separation; Apart, not through distance; Near, not through approach; Subtle, not through corporealness; Existent, not after nonexistence; Active, not through coercion; Determining, not through the activity of thought; Directing, not through movement; Desiring, not through resolution; Willing, not through directing attention; Grasping, not through touch; Hearing, not through means; and Seeing, not through organs.Times accompany Him not, places enclose Him not, slumber seizes Him not, attributes delimit Him not, and instruments are of no use to Him. His Being precedes time, His Existence precedes non-existence and His Beginninglessness precedes beginning. By His giving sense to the sense organs it is known that He has no sense organs. By His giving substance to substances it is known that He has no substance. By His causing opposition among things it is known that He has no opposite. By His causing affiliation among affairs it is known that He has no affiliate. He made darkness opposite to light, obscurity to clarity, moisture to dryness, and heat to cold. He joins together those things which are in total contradiction with one another and separates those which are near. They prove (the existence of) their Separator by their separation and their Joiner by their junction. That is (the meaning of) the Sublime (God’s) words, ‘And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction.’ So through them He separated 'before' and 'after' that it might be known that He has no before and after. They testify with their temperaments that He who gave them temperaments has no temperament. They prove by their disparity that He who made them disparate has no disparity. They announce by their subjection to time that He who subjected them to time is not subject to it Himself. He veiled some of them from others, so that it might be known that there is no veil between Him and them other than them. His is the true meaning of lordship when there was none over whom He was Lord; the reality of Godhood when there was nothing for whom He was God; the true meaning of All-Knower when there was nothing to be known; the true meaning of m Creator when there was nothing created and the interpreter of hearing when there was nothing to be heard. It is not because He created that which makes Him deserve the true meaning (of the term) 'Creator' and not because He brought the creatures into being that the true meaning of 'making' is derived. How (could it not be so)? For using such words as ‘ago’ conceals Him not, 'already' brings Him not near, ‘perhaps’ veils Him not, 'when' limits Him not in time, 'at the time of' contains Him not, and 'with' associates Him not. Instruments limit only themselves and means are only effective upon other similar means. Their activities are found only in things. The word ‘ago’ keeps things from being eternal; the word 'already' shields them from beginninglessness; and the words 'if only' wards off perfection. Things become separate and thus they prove (the existence of) their Separator. They become distinguished and thus they prove their Distinguisher Through them their Maker manifests Himself to the powers of reasoning, and He becomes veiled to the sight through these powers. To these powers of reasoning imaginations appeal for a decision. And in them is substantiated (only) other than Him. From them is suspended the proof and through them He has revealed to them the acknowledgement of His Unity. Confirmation of God is made fast by the powers of reasoning, and faith in Him attains perfection through acknowledgment. There is no religiousness except after recognition, no knowledge except through sincerity and no sincerity along with striking similitude. If one ascribes attributes for God, then he has indeed drawn a similitude. So nothing in Creation is found in its Creator. All that is possible in it is impossible in its Maker. Movement and stillness do not affect Him. How should that which He affects (in others) have any effect upon Him, or that which He has originated recur for Him?Then His Essence would be disparate, His innermost center would be divided and His being Eternal would become an impossibility. How would then the Creator have a meaning different from the created? If something from behind limited Him, then something in front would limit Him. If perfection were seeking Him, imperfection would be upon Him. How should that which does not transcend temporality be worthy of (the Name) 'Beginningless'? How should that which does not transcend being produced, produce the things (of the world)?There they would have arisen in Him a sign of having been made and He would become a proof after having been the proven. There is no argument in absurd opinions; there is no answer when it (absurdity) is asked about; and there is no glorification of Him in its meaning. Nor is there any absurdity in distinguishing Him from Creation, unless it be that the Independent accepts not to be made into two, nor does the Beginningless accepts to have a beginning. There is no god but God, the All-High, and the Tremendous. They have cried lies that ascribe equals to God! They have gone astray into farreaching error and suffered a manifest loss!May God’s Blessings be upon Muhammad and his Pure Household. Uyoon Akhbaar Imam Al Riza (a) vol.1 p.142

Martin. May God bless you and protect you and relieve you from your illness. You're a great inspiration.. I'll keep you in my prayers. Regards your health, look into CBD/ Cannabis Oil and other natural remedies. These things work. God has provided a cure for e every illness except death. I have a friend who refused Chemo and recovered. Stay blessed. You have visited the Holy imams whilst so many Muslims have not had the blessing.
