Prophetic Prophecy
regarding Samarah ibn e Jundab
Shareek narrates that Abdullah bin Sa’ad narrated for us from Hujr bin Adi that he said: I came to Medina and sat with Abu Huraira.
He asked: Where are you from?
I said: From Basra.
He asked: How is Samarah ibn e Jundab?
I said: He is alive.
He said: Long life of anyone does not make me happier than his long life.
I asked him: Why is that so?
He replied: The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said to me, him and Huzaifah bin al-Yaman:
“Whoever dies after the death of two men amongst you will dwell in Hell”.
Huzaifah died before the two of us and now I wish to die before Samarah.
It is said that Samarah was alive for so long that he was present at the time of Imam Hussain’s martyrdom.
Ahmad bin Basheer narrates from Mas’ar bin Kudam that he said: “At the time of Imam Hussain’s journey towards Kufa, Samrah ibn e Jundab was the chief of Obaidullah bin Ziyad’s police and provoked the people to fight against Imam Hussain (a.s.).[1]
[1] The date of Samarah’s death has been written with a difference of years between 58, 59 and 60 Hijri. Ibn e Abdul Birr ‘Al Isteeaab’: 2/76 has written in the footnote of ‘Al Isabah’: Boiling water spilled in the vessel and vapourised and the sayin of Prophet (p.b.u.h.) addressed to Abu Hurairah, that the last one to die among the three of you will dwell in Hell, is correct.
