Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his wives: "Do not let this child cry." By this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) meant Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him). The narrator says: It was the time of Sayyidah Umm Salamah's (may Allah be pleased with her) turn. Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) came down, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went inside and said to Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her): "Do not let anyone come in to me." Meanwhile Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and when he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the house, he wanted to go in. Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) caught hold of him and picked him up in her lap, and began trying to quieten him, but when his crying grew stronger, Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) let him go. He went in and sat in the lap of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Your Ummah will kill this son of yours." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Will they kill him while they believe in me?" Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) replied: "Yes, they will kill him." Then Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) took some earth and said: "This will happen at such-and-such a place." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out holding Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) in his arms, and he was distressed. Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) thought that perhaps he was angry because the child had come in to him, so she said: "O Prophet of Allah! May I be sacrificed for you! You told us: 'Do not let this child cry,' and then you also ordered me not to let anyone come in to you. He came, and I let him go." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) no reply. He went out to his Companions, who were sitting, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Ummah will kill this one." Among those present were Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who were more at ease with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) than all the other people. They said: "O Prophet of Allah! Will they be believers?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes! And this is the earth of his resting place." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) showed them that earth.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy, though there is weakness in some of its narrators.
