Hadith 66

ench was dug around Al Hilla, and his son Dubays constructed the pavilion after his death. His son Ali took over afterward, and their reign ended with Ali. Hence, it is said that the first king of the Banu Dubays was Ali, and the last was also Ali. On the night of the 21st of Muharram, on a Thursday night, in the third year of Hijra, (Syeda) Fatimah-asws, daughter-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, was moved to the house of Amir Al Momineen-asws and her-asws marriage ceremony took place, she was sixteen years old at that time; and it is reported nine years. I say that Al-Kulayni also narrated in Al Kafi, within some reports, that Ali-asws was wounded on the 21st night of Ramazan and attained martyrdom on the 23rd night. It appears that this report and similar accounts are either from the narrations of the general Muslims or were issued by him-asws out of Taqiyya (dissimulation), as we clarified in the volume on his-asws life in this book, and also explained in the book Jila Al Uyun in Persian. Then, the author of Al Adad, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, did not mention any notable events for the 22nd day of the month. However, he stated regarding the events of the 23rd day. On the night of the 23rd of Ramazan, Allah-azwj the Exalted, revealed the Zikr. It is recommended to perform ghusl on this night, at the end of Laylat Al Qadr and holds great merit. It is also recommended to recite Surah Al Roum and Surah Al Ankabout, as well as recite Surah Al Qadr a thousand times. On the 23rd of Zulqadah, was the expiry of our master Abu Al-Hassan Ali Bin Musa Al Reza-asws occurred. According to Al Irshad, this took place in Safar of the year 203 AH, as also stated in Al-Kafi, Al-Durr, and Atiq. In the book Mawalid al-A’immah, it is mentioned as the year 202 AH. In the book Al-Manaqib, it is recorded as occurring on a Friday, with seven days remaining in Ramadan of the year 202 AH, while others say it was in 203 AH. According to Al Durr, it was on a Friday, the first of Ramazan in 202 AH, caused by poison in grapes during the time of Al Ma’mun in Tus, in the area of Sanabad. He, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said regarding the events of the 24th day of the month. On the 24th day of Zulhijja in the ninth year of Hijrah, Rasool-Allah-saww performed imprecation with the Christians of Najran, bringing with him Ali-asws, Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, and (Syeda) Fatimah-asws. The Quran references the event of imprecation with him, his-asws wife-asws, and his-asws two sons-asws, as affirmed in the Decisive Verses of the Quran. It was narrated that the imprecation took place on the 25th of Zulhijja. On the 24th Amir Al Momineen-asws gave charity with his ring while in the state of performing Ruk’u and the Verse establishing his-asws Wilayah was revealed in the Quran. In the book Al Kafi, it is stated that the Quran was revealed on the 24th night of Ramazan. And he, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said regarding incidents of the 25th day of the month. On the 25th of Zul Qadah, the Kaaba was Revealed, and it was the first Mercy that descended. On this day, Allah-azwj the Exalted spread the earth beneath the Kaaba. Fasting on this day is recommended. On the night of the 25th of Zulqadah, the year when Amir Al Momineen-asws and Fatimah-asws gave charity to a poor man, an orphan, and a prisoner, each receiving three loaves made from barley, they preferred them over themselves and continued fasting. And in the 25th of Zul Hijjah of the year it was Revealed regarding Amir Al Momineen-asws, and Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Husayn-asws: Didn’t there come upon the human being, [76: 1]. In ‘Tareekh’ of Al Mufeed, it is mentioned that on the 25th of Muharram in the year 94, the expiry of our master Imam Ali Zayn Al Abideen Abu Muhammad-asws, and Abu Al-Hassan Ali Ibn Al-Husayn-asws occurred. In ‘Tazkirat Al Khwas’, it is stated that he-asws passed away in the year 94, as mentioned by Ibn Asakir. Some say it was in the year 92, as stated by Abu Naeem, and others say it was in the year 95. The first opinion is more accurate because this year is known as the Year of the Jurists due to the large number of scholars who passed away during it. Ali-asws master of
