Original Arabic text

3ـ سَهْلٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ مَاتَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَخَرَجَ الْحُسَيْنُ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَمْشِي فَلَقِيَ مَوْلىً لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ فَقَالَ أَفِرُّ مِنْ جِنَازَةِ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحُسَيْنُ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قُمْ إِلَى جَنْبِي فَمَا سَمِعْتَنِي أَقُولُ فَقُلْ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ اللهمَّ أَخْزِ عَبْدَكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ وَبِلاَدِكَ اللهمَّ أَصْلِهِ حَرَّ نَارِكَ اللهمَّ أَذِقْهُ أَشَدَّ عَذَابِكَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَوَلَّى أَعْدَاءَكَ وَيُعَادِي أَوْلِيَاءَكَ وَيُبْغِضُ أَهْلَ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكَ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه).

Published English translation

3. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from ibn abu Najran from Safwan al-Jammal who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that a man of the hypocrites died and al-Husayn (a.s.), came out walking. One of his followers came and he (the Imam) asked, ‘Where are you going?’ He replied, ‘I am running away from the dead body of this hypocrite to avoid performing Salah (prayer) for him.’ Al-Husayn (a.s.), said, ‘Stand next to me and say what you will hear I will say.’ He (the Imam) then raised his hands and said, ‘O Lord, humiliate a servant who is one of Your servants in Your land. O Lord, make him feel the heat of Your fire. O Lord, make him suffer the most severe of suffering from Your creation because he loved Your enemies, he was an enemy of Your friends and hated the family of Your Holy prophet.’”
