Question about the details of a complex Tradition and its answer

 

Question:What is your interpretation about this Tradition?

One day Prophet Mohammad (SAWW) heard the cries of Husnain (AS) from the pulpit and he stood up and said:

«ایّها النّاس! … فقد قُمتُ إلیهما وما مَعِی عَقلِی»

“O people! All of a sudden I stood up and went towards my sons as if I was out of my mind”.

Al-Munaqub Vol. 3/385; Behar Al-Anwaar Vol. 43/284; Al-Mustadrak Vol. 15/170

I have noted it from a website I do not know whether it is a virtue for the Prophet (SAWW) or not?

Answer:

By the name of Allah the most beneficent and merciful.

If an unprofessional man would have said these words, not only it would not be a virtue but it would be a disgrace as well. However, Ahl e Bait are the hallowed and the purified, this implies that the tradition is expressing their virtues.

Its clarification is as follows: According to the ayah Tatheer and the similar ayahs, the holy Prophet (SAWW) and his households (AS) are pious and they are purified from each kind of sin. Not only their minds are free from all sins but also their souls are free from each kind of sin. Therefore, if these great luminaries performs or says anything out of their sentiments (whose springhead is there sprit) then that act will also be free from every sin because their spirits and souls are free from every mistake and sin. Thus, getting up of the Prophet from the pulpit to comfort Imam Hasan and Imam Husain (AS) is a virtue for those luminaries because a pious and purified one had performed this act for two of his kind.
