حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُرَحْبِيلُ بْنُ مُدْرِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ، ، نُجَيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَارَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ، وَكَانَ صَاحِبَ مِطْهَرَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا حَاذَى نِينَوَى وَهُوَ مُنْطَلِقٌ إِلَى صِفِّينَ، فَنَادَى عَلِيٌّ: اصْبِرْ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ، اصْبِرْ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ، بِشَطِّ الْفُرَاتِ قُلْتُ: وَمَاذَا قَالَ؟، دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَفِيضَانِ، قُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، أَغْضَبَكَ أَحَدٌ، مَا شَأْنُ عَيْنَيْكَ تَفِيضَانِ؟ قَالَ: " بَلْ قَامَ مِنْ عِنْدِي جِبْرِيلُ قَبْلُ، فَحَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ يُقْتَلُ بِشَطِّ الْفُرَاتِ " قَالَ: فَقَالَ: " هَلْ لَكَ إِلَى أَنْ أُشِمَّكَ مِنْ تُرْبَتِهِ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ، فَقَبَضَ قَبْضَةً مِنْ تُرَابٍ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا، فَلَمْ أَمْلِكْ عَيْنَيَّ أَنْ فَاضَتَا (١)،

It was narrated from `Abdullah bin Nujayy from his father that He travelled with ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) - he was the one who carried his vessel for wudoo’. When he reached Neenawa on his way to Siffeen, ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) called out:
Be patient, Abu `Abdullah; be patient, Abu ‘Abdullah, on the banks of the Euphrates. I said: what did he say? He said: I entered upon the Prophet (ﷺ) one day and his eyes were flowing with tears. I said: O Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah, has someone upset you? Why are your eyes flowing with tears? He said: `No, but Jibreel left me a while ago. He told me that al-Husain would be killed on the banks of the Euphrates, And he said: `Would you like to smell his dust (the dust of the land where he will fall)?` I said: Yes. He stretched out his hand and picked up a handful of dust and gave it to me, and I could not help but weep.`
