I was speaking to a Sunni person about Ashura. She told me that the Prophet (pbuh) had said ‘لا حزن بعد ثلاث'. What is the interpretation of this statement and is it authentic?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

This narration is not authentic and some Sunni Ulama like Mohammad Al-Jondi of Al-Azhar in Egypt said that it is not a Hadeeth at all.

الدكتور محمد الشحات الجندي، عضو مجمع البحوث الإسلامية: إن مقولة «لا عزاء بعد ثلاثة أيام ليست حديثًا صحيحًا ولم تثبت عن الرسول -صلى الله عليه وسلم-.

Wassalam.
Is it okay to only listen to the recitation of Ziyarat Ashura and not to recite it by myself? Will its benefits remain the same?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Listening is not like reciting. Just listening to Ziyarat Ashura does not make you get the great reward of reciting the Ziyarat.

Wassalam.
Can Ziarat Ashura be recited for a deceased person for his benefit in the grave?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes of course. Ziyarat Ashura is a great Ziyarat and it is recommended to recite it every day. Reciting it on behalf of a deceased will make the deceased get great reward as well as the reciter himself.

Why did Hur (A) not bring any food or water when he came repentant on the night of Ashura to the camp of Imam Hussain (A)?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Hur was in the front of war when he repented and came immediately to Imam Husain (AS). It was a moment of war and there was no time for bringing food or water.

Wassalam.
