(Prophecy and information about the martyrdom of Hazrat Husayn, may Allah be pleased with him)

Ibn `Abbas told that one day at midday he saw in a dream the Prophet disheveled and dusty with a bottle containing blood in his hand and said, "You for whom I would give my father and mother as ransom, what is this?" He replied, "This is the blood of al-Husain and his companions which I have been collecting to-day." He told that he was reckoning that time and found that he had been killed at that time. Baihaqi transmitted the two traditions in Dala'il an-nubuwa and Ahmad transmitted the second.
