Those of you who knows Urdu must be familiar with Mir Anees. He was the greates poet in the history of Urdu language a few centuries ago. If one reads his poetry he/she feel as if Mir Anees is sitting in Karbala and writting. Here's how attained such percise knowledge.
Mir Anees used to teach in a masjid/madressa. Little children would come to his classes and learn Arabic/Quran/Deen etc. One day a young boy came to class who Mir Anees had never seen before. Some thing seemed different about him from the first moment. His homework was always perfect. The boy was very hard working and very unusual. One day as the children were studying and Mir Anees was thinking of picking a pen (or something of that sort) from a window sil. As he was thinking the same young boy stood up and grabbed it and gave it to his teacher. (Theres conflict among the story here as to what he did. Some scholars say that the boy performed some very heavy duty physical work that attarcted the attention of Mir Anees) What ever the case Mir Anees was now sure that the boy was hiding something. So when all the students were about to leave. He ordered the young boy to stay after school. When the masjid was empty and there was no one except the boy and Mir Anees. Mir Anees aske him who are you? Where are you from? You have unhaman characteristics...The boy said I am the grandson of Zafar Jinn. Thus I am a Jinn. My family has sent me to gain knowledge from you so I can recite majalis. And help my famil remember the martyrdom of Imam Husain . My grand father is the one who replied to Imam's question for help. So Mir Anees asked him about his granfather? He replied ever since the tragedy of Karbala my grand father roams in the mountains and had been crying, weeping, for he was unable to help the Imam and saw him get sluaghtered helplessly. The teacher asked his student to ask Zafer to come to the mosque. The young Boy promised him to bring his grand father at night.
Mir Anees was in the masjid alone. A candle was lighted beside him and he was waitting for Zafer jinn. Shortly a shadow appeared in the court yard of the mosque. And soon he saw a very old person entering. He was so old that his eye browse were hanging and blocking his eyes. THey exchanged greetings and Mir Anees asked him to tell the sotry of Karbala from the start.
There is a battle known as the Battle of Bair-Al-Alam. In which Imam Ali fought the Jinns in a deep well to get water. In it thousands of Jinns were killed and many more turned muslims. The evil leader was also killed. I Zafer was chosen the new muslim leader of these Muslim Jinns.
Zafer Jinn was in Karbala.........
When Imam Hussein(as) was alone in the plain of Karbala..after all his Children, brother, nephew and friends were martryed ..he said this famous line "Hal Min Nasirin Yansurna" (Is there among you a friend to help us)..not only once but he said it to 4 corner of the world.
When Imam Zayn Al Abidin(as) heard his father, he quicky raised himself from his bed and said "Labbayk Ya Imam" ( I am comming O Imam, I am coming)..but he was too sick and weak, and Sayyida Zaynab(as) went and urge him to lie back on bed.
The enemies was firm to kill him. No one answered his plea.
and the narations continue with this ..
"When all the angels from heaven heard Master of Paradise, they beg permission from Almighty God to help him. Rows and rows of angels came to help him, just like when His Grandfather Holy Prophet(saw) prayed in Badr. A group of Jinn also heard this plea and they proceed to Karbala. They came and all of them stand to help the Imam"
An army of mankind had surrounded a tent. A lone Man (Imam hussain) stood in the middle giving speeches. They realized who it(as) was and quickly went to Jafar Jinn(ra).
Zafar jinn (ra) sat on his throne, the jinns alerted him, he took off his ornaments and said:
Get ready, we must reach my beloved Master(as). Oh Allah(swt) please ensure that we arrive in time. Take our swords and let us make haste!!!
The army approached the Euphrates and Zafar(ra) said:
With care, this is the body of My Master Ali(sa) son. Oh tragedy, what has befallen the kindred of Ali(sa)?
Then Jafar(ra) saw the Prophets(as)/Messengers(sa), Imams(sa) and close ones of Allah(swt). He saw Imam Hussain(sa) and had a lengthy conversation(Not going to say what). Jafar(ra) was taken with rage and told his army to attack the evil force.
The Imam(sa) stopped them and said: I have the power but this is the time of test. Jafar(ra), my Father(as)'s companion, it is unfair that you fight them whilst they can't see you. They are my Grandfathers(saws) ummah. Then Jafar(ra) went back having been ordered to do mourning and Majlis.
Jafar(ra) went back, put black in his kingdom and cried. His Mother found out and asked what had happened. She sent him back and told him to help the children in the route of Sham. Then he was sent away because Hazrat Syeda Fatima Al-Zahra(sa) was to come to be the companion of the ladies of Ahlulbayt (as) .....
