5 وَ عَنْهُمَا عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ لِلْحُسَيْنِ (ع) وَ لَوْ جِئْتَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَكُنْتَ بِالْحَرَمِ فَقَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ (ع) لَا نَسْتَحِلُّهَا وَ لَا تُسْتَحَلُّ بِنَا وَ لَأَنْ أُقْتَلَ عَلَى تَلِّ أَعْفَرَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُقْتَلَ بِهَا
5. My father and ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain (ibn Bābawayh) both narrated to me from Sa’d (ibn ‘Abdillāh), from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Safwān ibn Yaḥyā, from Dāwūd ibn Farqad, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: ‘Abdullāh ibn Zubayr told Ḥusain (a.s.) to come to Makkah and (seek refuge) in the Ḥaram but Ḥusain (a.s.) said, “We will not breach its sanctity (by remaining in the Ḥaram) and we will not allow its sanctity to be breached (by) being killed in it. Verily I prefer to be killed on a mound with red dust than being killed in the Ḥaram.”
