Views of Comapnions(Sahaba) on the March of Imam Hussain

أَبُو سَلَمَةَ المِنْقَرِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بنُ عَبْدِ الكَرِيْمِ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ الأَصْفَرِ، حَدَّثَنِي الفَرَزْدَقُ؛ قَالَ: لَمَّا خَرَجَ الحُسَيْنُ، لَقِيتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بنَ عَمْرٍو؛ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ هَذَا قَدْ خَرَجَ، فَمَا تَرَى؟ قَالَ: أَرَى أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مَعَهُ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أَرَدْتَ دُنْيَا، أَصَبْتَهَا، وَإِنْ أَرَدْتَ آخِرَةً، أَصَبْتَهَا. فَرَحلْتُ نَحْوَهُ، فَلَمَّا كُنْتُ فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيْقِ، بَلَغَنِي (2) قَتْلُهُ، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ، وَقُلْتُ: أَيْنَ مَا ذَكَرتَ؟ قَالَ: كَانَ رَأْياً رَأَيْتُهُ.

Allama Samsuddin Dhahabi copied/quoted a narration from Ibn S'ad - The Famous Poet Frazdak is narrator of this narration , Farzdak said when Imam Hussain (a.s) went towards Kufa I met with Abdullah Ibn Umar and said to him that Hussain marched (towards Kufa) ,what is your opinion? Abdullah Ibn Umar said my opinion is you should also go with Hussain (a.s), because if you want this world you will get it , and even if you want hereafter you will get it. Frazdak continued , Then I marched towards Hussain (a.s) but between the way I got news of killing of Hussain (a.s) So I returned to abdullah ibn Umar and asked where is that you talked about? (i.e I have got world not hereafter). So Abdullah Ibn Umar said 'that was only my opinion

قلت : هذا يدل على تصويب عبد الله بن عمرو للحسين في مسيره ، وهو رأي ابن الزبير وجماعة من الصحابة شهدوا الحرة .


The argument ( proof) of Alama Dhahabi from this narration:
After narrating this narration Allama Dhahabi said: This narration proves that Abdullah Ibn Umar thinks march of Imam Hussain's (a.s) was right , and this was also opinion of Abdullah ibn Jabir (r.a) and like other honorable companions those who ware present at the time of Harra incident also had opinion that march of Imam Hussain a.s was right.

ھذا اسناد لا بأس به ، رجاله ثقات ، و أما الفرزدق فقد تکلم فیه لأجل حفظه و لکن هذه العلة ليست بقادحة في صحتها لأن الفرزدق فقد حکی ما جری به و لهذا قد استدل بها الذهبي و ما أنا الا نقلت عنه ما استدل بها فقط۔
