MOURNING OF ZAFAR JINN IN KAR'BALA.

1)"Who is Zafar Jinn?

2)"Why he refused to go back in heaven?

3)"What was he doing in Kar'bala?

Let us analyse the 3 facts about Zafar Jinn .

We all know Jinns relations with Kar'bala and Ahlul-Bait (as) as some Jinns descended for the help of Imam Hussain (as) but Imam Hussain (as) refused their help.

This post is the meeting of Leader of Jinns (Zafar Jinn ) with the Poet of Ahlul-Bait (as) .

'MIR ANEES — The famous Marsiya writer and reciter of Hindustan'.

Those of you who knows Ur'du must be familiar with Mir Anees. He was the greatest poet in the history of Ur'du language a few centuries ago.

If one reads his poetry he/she feel as if Mir Anees is sitting in Kar'bala and writting.

Here's how attained such percise knowledge.

Mir Anees used to teach in a masjid/madrasa. 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 sill.

As he was thinking, the same young boy stood up and grabbed it and gave it to his teacher. [There is conflict among the story here as to what he did. Some scholars say that the boy performed some very heavy duty physical work that attracted 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 asked him who are you?

Where are you from?

You have unhuman 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 family remember the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (as). My grandfather is the one who replied to Imam Hussain's (as) call for help.

So Mir Anees asked him about his granfather?

He replied ever since the tragedy of Kar'bala, my grandfather roams in the mountains and had been crying, weeping, for he was unable to help Imam Hussain (as) and saw Him get sluaghtered helplessly.

The teacher asked his student to ask Zafar to come to the mosque.

The young Boy promised him to bring his grandfather at night.

Mir Anees was in the masjid alone.

A candle was lighted beside him and he was waiting for Zafar 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 story of Kar'bala from the start.

There is a battle known as the Battle of Bair-Al-Alam, In which Imam Ali (as) 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 Zaffar was chosen the new muslim leader of these Muslim Jinns.

Zafar Jinn was in Kar'bala.

When Imam Hussain (as) was alone in the plain of Kar'bala..after all His Children, Brother, Nephew and Friends were martyred .. 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 four (4) corners of the world.

When Imam Zain Al-Abidin (as) heard His Father, He quicky raise Himself from His bed and said: "LABAIKA YAA IMAM" ( I am coming Oh Imam, I am coming)..but He was too sick and weak, and Sayyidah Zainab (sa) 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 the youth of Paradise (Imam Hussain (as)), they beg permission from Almighty Allah to help Him. Rows and rows of Angels came to help Him, just like when His Grandfather Holy Prophet (saww) prayed in Badr. A group of Jinn also heard this plea and they proceed to Kar'bala. They came and all of them stand to help Imam Hussain (as)"

An army of mankind had surrounded a tent.

A lone Man (Imam Hussain (as)) stood in the middle giving speeches. They realized Who it was and quickly went to Zafar 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 (Imam Hussain (as)). Oh Allah (swt) please ensure that we arrive in time. Take our swords and let us make haste!!!

The army approached the Euphrates river and Zaffar (ra) said: With care, this is the Body of My Master (Imam Ali (as)) Son (Imam Hussain (as)).

Oh what a tragedy, what has befallen the kindred of Imam Ali (as)?

Then Zafar Jinn (ra) saw the Prophets (as), Messengers (as), Imams (as) and close ones of Allah (swt). He saw Imam Hussain (as) and had a lengthy conversation (Not going to say what). Zafar Jinn (ra) was taken with rage and told his army to attack the evil force.

Then Imam Hussain (as) stopped them and said: I have the power but this is the time of test, My Father's (as) companion (Zafar Jinn), it is unfair that you fight them whilst they can't see you. They are My Grandfathers (saww) ummah. Then Zafar Jinn (ra) went back having been ordered to do mourning and Majlis.

Zafar Jinn (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 Sayyidah Fatima Al-Zahra (sa) was to come.....

P.S: 1- Didn't find any book for authentic reference but Shiite scholars narrate his story during their addresses Specially Agha S.Ali Hassan Qumi.

2- Some spell or call Zaffar/ Zafer or Jaffar.
