Miracle 55: Imam Ali (a.s.) Predicts the Events of Karbala

It Is reported in the book Kitab al-Irshad,

The narrator says, ‘when we headed to Siffeen with Ameerul Momineen (a.s.), we reached the foothills of Karbala. He (a.s.) paused away from the soldiers. Then he (a.s.) looked right and left and wept, then said: ‘By Allah, the Almighty! This is the resting place of their horses and place of their slaying’.

He was asked (a.s.), ‘O Ameerul Momineen (a.s.)! What is this place?’ He (a.s.) said: ‘This is Karbala, a group will be killed here who will enter Paradise without any accounting’.

Then he (a.s.) proceeded from there, and the people did not understand the interpretation of what he (a.s.) had said until what transpired with al-Husain ibn Ali (a.s.) and his companions at that place.1
