Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Narrated from Sayyidah Umm al-Fadl bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) that she came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I saw an ugly dream last night. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "What is it?" She said: It is very severe. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "What is it, after all?" She said: It seemed to me that a piece of your body was cut off and thrown into my lap. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "You have seen a good dream, (its interpretation is that) insha’Allah, my daughter Fatimah will give birth to a child who will be in your lap." Indeed, Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) gave birth to a child, Husayn, who was in my lap, just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had said. One day I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and placed Husayn in his lap. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) looked towards him, tears were flowing from his eyes. I said: O Prophet of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you, what has happened to you? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Jibril (peace be upon him) came to me and informed me that my Ummah will kill this son of mine." I said: This son (Husayn)? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Yes, and he brought me some red soil from that land."
