High Merits of Hazrat Imam Hussain

One day Omar sat surrounded by the Companions. Hussain was also present. Addressing the Companions, the Caliph said, “By Allah ! Whatever honour we may have in this world and in the world to come, is due to the grace of Allah and to the bounty of the Prophet and his family. But for this, we would have been without any hope.” Once the son of Omar complaint to his father, “Hazrat Imam Hassan and Hosien said that I and my family is their slave.” On hearing this Hazrat Omar said, “ O my son! This is a great honour. I will be glade if they write it down on a piece of paper that I and my family is the slave of descendents of Holy Prophet.”
