Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.) Mourns for Imam Husain (a.s.) We find in Behaarul Anwaar v. 101 (New Edition) Kitaabul Mazaar a Ziyarat named Ziyarat-e-Naahiya attributed to the sacred personality of Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.). In this Ziyarat Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.), through various statements, intensely laments over his ancestor who was oppressed in a state of being far from his motherland. For illustration certain parts of this Ziyarat is produced with a hope that Shias will join their esteemed and occult Imam (a.t.f.s.) in mourning and lamenting over his oppressed ancestor as is his right to be mourned upon. Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.) says: “O My tyrannized ancestor, surely I weep on you day and night. While mourning you my eyes shed blood in place of tears. A mourning based on extreme injustice meted out to you and on the untoward incident which you had to face. This mourning continues till I fear that my throat will suffocate and my soul will leave my body.” The above statement clearly brings to the fore the intensity by which Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.) laments over his revered forefather. Therefore, it is the duty of us Shias that we join Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.) in his lamentations. The second noteworthy aspect of the above statement is that Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.), the master of humans and the Jinn, the centre of the universe, mentions that he mourns Imam Husain (a.s.) with such intensity as to shed blood instead of tears. This indicates how heartrending the incident of Karbala is and the extent to which the so called Muslims mistreated the Ahle Bait (a.s.).
