Sulaim b. Qays al-Helaali narrates from Salman al-Muhammadi: I went to the Prophet and saw Husain on his lap. The Prophet was kissing Husain’s forehead and lips and he said: You are a Sayyid (Master), son of a Sayyid, and father of the Sayyids. You are an Imam, the son of an Imam, and father of the Imams. You are Allah’s decisive proof, the son of Allah’s decisive proof, and you are the father of nine of Allah’s decisive proofs, and the ninth one is the Qaim.
