Shall I inform you of the worst of all people?. Those who eat food lonely, give nothing to anybody, travel alone and hit their servants. Shall I inform you of the one who is worse than them? --those whose evil people are worried about and in whom no goodness can be found out. Shall I inform you of those who are (even) worse than them? -- those who barter their eternal life for others' worldly life. Shall I inform you of those who are (even) worse? --those who sacrifice religion to enjoy the world.

Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said There is a place in Hell, for which no one is deserving except the killers of Prophet Yahya bin Zakariya and Imam Husain (a.s.).

Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, "A dome of light will be made for Fatima on the Day of Judgment. Imam Husain (a.s.) will enter that dome carrying his head in his hands. Fatima (s.a.) will start crying upon seeing him so much so that entire assembly, angels, prophets and messengers and believers will wail loudly. At that time the Almighty Allah will create a handsome youth out of that head to fight with the killers of Imam Husain (a.s.). The Almighty Allah will gather all the killers and their supporters. That youth will kill all of them and they will be brought back to life. Amirul Momineen (a.s.) will come and kill all of them and they will again be brought back to life. Imam Hasan (a.s.) will kill all of them and they will be brought back to life once again. Imam Husain (a.s.) will kill them all and they will be given life again. There will be no person in our progeny who will not give them death. Then the curtain will be moved aside with anger and everyone will forget the sorrow. May Allah shower mercy on our Shias. By Allah, our Shias are true believers for they have grieved with us for a long time in this calamity."

Fatima Zahra (s.a.) will come surrounded by the women of her family on the Day of Judgment. When asked to enter Paradise, she will say, "I will not enter Paradise until I have seen how my daughters were treated after me." She will be asked to look at the center of Qiyamat where Imam Husain (a.s.) will be standing headless. He will utter a loud cry and the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) himself will start mourning loudly. Angels will start weeping on seeing him and Almighty Allah will be enraged at that time. He will order the fire named Hab-hab (which has burned for a thousand years and had become black due to burning. No happiness would have ever entered this fire nor any sorrow would have come out of it) to bring the killers of Imam Husain (a.s.) even if they were Muslims. They will be put into Hell shackled in chains. If they cry, the fire will also cry. If they groan, the fire will also groan. They will cry out, "O Allah! Why were we put into Hell before the infidels?" They will be told, "Those who know are not like those who don't know."

Holy war is not mere fighting in the way of the Almighty God. Verily, it is to shoulder one's own parents and offspring's burdens, and the man who carries his own burden to be needless of people is a struggler (in the way of God).

Amirul Momineen (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said The head of Imam Husain (a.s.) smeared with blood will be brought to Fatima Zahra (s.a.). She will cry out, "O peace of my heart! O Fruit of my heart." Angels will lose consciousness on hearing the cries of Fatima and the gathered people will call out, "O Fatima! May Allah kill those who martyred your son." Allah will say, "I will take revenge from those who martyred Husain (a.s.) in front of your lovers, Shias and followers." Fatima will be mounted on a mount of Paradise, having a beautiful forehead, white face, black eyes, head made of pure gold and neck made of amber. Its rein will be of green satins. It will be decorated with jewels and its saddle wrapped with divine light. There will be divine mercy in it. Its one step will be equal to a farsakh of this world. Seventy thousand angels will surround this mount and glorify the Lord of both this world and the hereafter saying Laa ilaaha illallaahu Allaahu akbar. A caller will call out from Divine throne: "O people! Lower your gaze; for this is Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.). She wants to pass by the Sirat Bridge." Fatima and her followers will pass by the Bridge with great speed. The enemies of Fatima and her progeny will be thrown into Hell.

Whatever You have given me, do not take those blessings away. Never let me become the butt of criticism and jealousy of the enemies. O Allah! Never let me return to the vices from where You have extricated me. O Allah! Do not leave me (free) to myself even for a blink of the eye (for a moment)."

Verily when the believer will come out of his grave, his deeds will come to him personified in a good form, and he will address it asking 'Who are you, for by Allah I see you to be a veracious man indeed!' to which it will reply, 'I am your [good] deed' , and it will be a source of light for him and lead him into Paradise. And verily when the disbeliever comes out of his grave, his deeds will come to him personified in an ugly form with an ugly countenance, to which he will ask, 'Who are you for verily I see you to be an ugly man indeed!' and it will reply, 'I am your [evil] deeds' , and it will rush off with him to plunge into the Fire.
