28-Rajab – Imam Hussain (as) leaved Madina
When Imam (as) had made his decision to leave Madina, he (as) went to the grave of his brother Imam Hasan (as)with a very heavy heart. There he (as) stayed for some time talking to his brother saying “O brother now your killers are thirsty of my blood. It looks like time for my martyrdom is near and I am leaving you now.”I imagine that Imam Hasan (as) would have replied from his (as) grave – O my Brother I bid you farewell and give you my son Qasim to become your Sadqa in Karbala.
After that Imam (as) went to the grave of his Grandfather, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saww). He stayed there for a long time and wept a lot until he went to sleep. He saw the Prophet (saww) in his dream and said to him “O my Grandfather, My Salutations to You. The land of Madinah has become small for me. Tyrants among your ummah are after my blood and I am leaving Madinah with a heavy heart”.
Finally Imam Hussain (as) came to the grave of his mother Bibi Syeda Fatima Zahra (sa). Historians write that Imam (as) ran towards her grave just like a child runs toward his Mother and he fell on her grave just like a child falls in the lap of the mother. Imam (as) said “O my mother accept my last Salaam. I am leaving the land of Madinah and would not come back. The prophecy of my Grandfather is about to come true”. I imagine that Bibi Zahra (sa) would have said from her grave “O my beloved son, O the one whom I have raised by keeping awake in the night, I would not let you go alone. From this day I would not rest in my grave but I would accompany you throughout your journey.”
Historians write that throughout the journey various people reported to Imam (as) that when everyone goes asleep during the night, we hear feminine voices of weeping and a BIBI’s Voice crying “YA HUSSAIN, YA HUSSAIN”. Imam (as) told them “O my trusted companions this is my Mother Zahra (sa) who is with me ever since I have left Madinah”
Lord of Martyrs Imam Hussain (as) leave Madina for Makkah in the month of Rajab; exactly four months remained for Hajj.
