A man came to Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (as) and said, "O son of the Messenger of Allah [s]! I have seen a dream that has worried me. I saw my dead son-in-law, and he was embracing (hugging) me. I feared that my death was approaching."

The Imam replied, "Expect death every morning and every evening, for it pursues us. [In a dream,] the deceased's embracing of the living lengthens their life. What was the name of your son-in-law?"

The man said, "Husayn."

The Imam said, "Your dream means that you will remain and visit Aba Abdillah Imam Husayn[as], for everyone who embraces a person named after al-Husayn (as) will visit him, God-willingly."
