Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Narrated from Sayyidah Umm al-Fadl bint 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 at 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) asked: "After all, what is it?" 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 have a child who will be in your lap." Indeed, Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) had 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 I turned 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 the red soil of that land as well."
