Who is imam hussain ? ( part 4 )
Text from : islampfr.com
Imam
Hussain (PBUH) and his brother Imam Hassan (PBUH) were the last
descendants of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) living during his lifetime and
remaining after his death. There are many accounts of his love for them
which refer to them together.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is reported
to have said that whoever loves them has loved him and whoever hates
them has hated him. A famous narration declares them the “Masters of the
Youth of Paradise”; this has been particularly important for the Shia
Muslims who have used it in support of the right of Prophet Muhammad’s
descendants to succeed him. Other traditions record Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) with his grandsons on his knees, on his shoulders, and even on
his back during prayer at the moment of prostrating himself, when they
were young.
