The Miracles of Imam Hasan and Imam Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with them)

 Punishment to the one who hurt the Imam’s cheek

Imam Tabarani has related a Tradition in Mo’jam Kabeer:

Translation: It is narrated on the authority of a person from the clan of Bani Kalb that a wretch had shot an arrow at Imam Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with him) because of which the Imam’s blessed jaw was injured.  Hadhrat Imam Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with him) supplicated:  May Allah not quench your thirst.  At that very moment, that wretch became thirsty.  He kept drinking water until his stomach burst open and he died.  (Mo’jam Kabeer Tabarani, Hadith No. 2772)

This man’s arrow had injured Imam Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with him), when he was drinking water.  Because of this, his end was such that he would drink water, but his thirst wouldn’t be quenched.  At last, his body burst and he died.  Allah Most High wiped out his very existence by making his stomach burst open.
