Rain of blood in Khorasan, Syria and Kufa
‘Allama Muhammad bin Yousuf Salihi (May Allah shower His mercy on him) has recorded Traditions in Subul Ul Huda War Rashad which say that on the day, Hadhrat Imam Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with him) was martyred, there was a rain of blood.
Imam Abu Nu’aim Ahmed bin ‘Abdullah Asfahani (May Allah shower His mercy on him) has related in Ma’arifat Us Sahabah, ‘Allama Yousuf Salihi (May Allah shower His mercy on him) in Subul Ul Huda War Rashad, Imam Tabarani in Mo’jam Kabeer and Imam Baihaqui in Majma’ Uz Zawaaid:
Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Nudhra Azdiya, he says: On the day, Imam Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with him) was martyred, the sky rained blood. That morning, we found our foreheads and our body soaked in blood.
Ayyub bin ‘Abdullah bin Zyad said: When the blessed head of Hadhrat Imam Hussain (May Allah be well pleased with him) was bought, I saw blood flowing down the walls of the palace.
Hadhrat Umme Salma (May Allah be well pleased with her) said: On the day of martyrdom, blood was rained on the houses and the walls. Ja’afar bin Suleman said: This happened in Khorasan, Syria and Kufa. (Subul Ul Huda War Rashad, Vol. 11, Pg. No. 80)
