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

 Punishment by fire for Ibn Zyad

Imam Tabarani (May Allah shower His mercy on him) has related a Tradition in Mo’jam Kabeer:

Translation: Abdul Malik narrated on the authority of the doorkeeper of ‘Abdullah bin Zyad that when Imam Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with him) was martyred, I entered the palace behind Ibn Zyad and suddenly a fire sprang up in his face.  He used his sleeve to put out the fire and asked me:  Did you see something?  I said:  Yes.  He ordered me to hide this incident.  (Mo’jam Kabeer Tabarani, Hadith No. 2762)

The murderers of Imam Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with him) were embroiled in various difficulties.  The punishment of the hereafter is certain, but even in this world, they were punished.  Every moment of their life was a punishment, as we can see from this incident of Ibn Zyad.
