The love of aba abdillah Hussain is part of our fitrah (Godly soul) not part of our tabiah
(animalistic nature). There is an hadith which Imam Saqid says 'Rasululah(saw) when Imam
Husain was a young boy he placed him on his lap, he spoke to the people about his grandson,
'inni lil qatli Husain..' in
the hearts of believers there is a passion for Husain that will never cool. Never, never!.
That is why you speak to a man who is 70/80 years old he has heard the masaib of Aba Abdillah,
year after year after year. But every year it is fresh, because it is a blood that does
not dry. A man asked the sixth imam once 'yabna rasululah, didn't your gradfather say "mathalu
ahlulbayt..." my Ahlulbayt are like the ark of Noah, whoever comes aboard is saved and
whoever turns away will drown. He said yes my grandfather did indeed say that. He said
then why did your grandfather 'inalul Husain..' that Husain is a lamp of guidance and an ark
of salvation, why specifically Husain is an ark of salvation when the whole Ahlulbayt
is like the ark of Noah? Then Imam Sadiq said, 'qulu..' all of us are arks of salvation but the ark of Husain is wider, more spacious
and moves faster.' What does this mean? It means if you fall in love with Husain, his
compassion is so much for humanity you merely have to look at Husain, he will lift you on
board his ark. Come to Husain he will show you the path to salvation.
