Hadith 304

(The book) ‘Al Kharaij Wa Al Jaraih’ – It is reported that Bahr Al Khayyat said, ‘I was seated in the presence of Fitr Bin Khalifa, and Ibn Al Mallah came. He sat down and looked at me. Fitr said, ‘Narrate if you want and there won’t be any problem upon you’. Ibn Al-Mallah said, ‘I shall inform you with a wonder I have seen from Ibn Al-Bakriya’ – meaning Al-Sadiq-asws’. He said, ‘What is it? ’
He said, ‘I was seated alone discussing with him-asws and he-asws was narrating to me, when he-asws struck his-asws hand to a corner of the Masjid, resembling the pondering, then he-asws said: ‘We are for Allah-azwj and are returning to Him-azwj! ’ I said, ‘What is the matter with you-asws? ’ He-asws said: ‘My-asws uncle Zayd has been killed at this moment’. Then he-asws got up and went. I wrote down his-asws words being during that time, and in that month. Then I came to the Euphrates. When I was in the road, a rider met me. He said, ‘Zayd son of Ali-asws (Bin Al-Husayn-asws) has been killed during such and such day, in such a such time’, upon what Abu Abdullah-asws had said. Fitr Bin Khalifa said, ‘There is immense knowledge with the man! ’’[140]
