Never did Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) mock Imam Hussain(ra) rather He had great love for him. The Anti Ahmadis quote that the Promised Messiah(as) has stated
“O Shia nation do not insist that Hussain is your saviour because I say truthfully that today there is one among you who is greater than that Hussain”
It is my challenge that no one who has a understanding of the Qur’an and Ahadith can ever claim that Imam Hussain (ra) is suppose to have a higher rank than the Imam Mahdi and Messiah(as) of the latter days nor do I think even the Shias have such a belief. This statement of Ahmad(as) makes perfect sense. During his time Shias were still worried about Karbala and the unIslamic practice they follow when they instead should have done the bayah of the Imam Mahdi who was right in front of them.
The second quote they state of Ahmad(as) is :
There is a lot of difference between me and your Hussain because at every moment I get the help of God but Hussain well just remember karbala, you still cry until now
Here again Ahmad(as) has not mocked Hussain(ra). It is indeed true that the support Ahmad(as) received cannot be comparable to Hussain (ra). Ahmad(as) has said in his writings that Yazid was an impure worm of the earth who was blinded by the love of the world while Hussain(ra) was truthful and provided a pure model for future muslims to follow. He has said the best things about the progeny of Muhammad(saw) and has said . The way shias do reject to Karbala is indeed un Islamic and the entire ummah is aware of this fact. The Shias have given Imam Hussain(ra) such a status which he himself has not claimed. For example self harming themselves and other non Islamic acts were never taught by Imam Hussain(ra).
Ahmad(as) states:
I am ready to offer my heart and soul for the beauty of Muhammad(saw) My body is merely the dust of the lane treaded by the progeny of Muhammad(sa) . I have seen with my heart’s eye and heard with perceptive ears, That the trumpet of the beauty of Muhammad(sa) , echoes everywhere. This ever-flowing spring of divine verities which I am distributing freely among God’s creatures, Is but a drop from the ocean of the excellences of Muhammad(sa) .(Majmua-e-Istiharat vol 1. Page 97)
The third saying is :
”My journey is every time in Karbala and 100 Hussain are in my pocket’’
Even here Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) has not mocked Imam Hussain(ra). He just compared his own problems to the problems of the great imam and he did not exaggerate one bit. It is indeed a fact that Imam Hussain(ra) went through Karbala once but every day for Ahmad(as) was Karbala as his master Muhammad(saw) was mocked every single day and so was Islam. Ahmad(as) himself was persecuted as well and received a large amount of death threats. Its really sad that majority of Shias have rejected this great imam but Alhamdulillah they are slowly accepting the Imam Mahdi.
If they have an accusation against Ahmad(as) being greater than Imam Hussain(ra) maybe they should ask their own scholars who would be greater. The latter day messiah who was to be a prophet or Imam Hussain(ra)? If they have an objection to merely claiming superiority over others they have not read the sayings of Muhammad(saw). For example he(Saw) states:
“O Shia nation do not insist that Hussain is your saviour because I say truthfully that today there is one among you who is greater than that Hussain”

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُدْعَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم “ أَنَا سَيِّدُ وَلَدِ آدَمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلاَ فَخْرَ وَبِيَدِي لِوَاءُ الْحَمْدِ وَلاَ فَخْرَ وَمَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ يَوْمَئِذٍ آدَمُ فَمَنْ سِوَاهُ إِلاَّ تَحْتَ لِوَائِي وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ تَنْشَقُّ عَنْهُ الأَرْضُ وَلاَ فَخْرَ ” . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةٌ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
Narrated Abu Sa’eed:
that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I am the master of the children of Adam on the Day of Judgement, and I am not boasting. The Banner of Praise will be in my hand, and I am not boasting. There will not be a Prophet on that day, not Adam nor anyone other than him, except that he will be under my banner. And I am the first one for whom the earth will be opened for, and I am not bragging.”(Tirmidhi, Volume 1, Book 46, Hadith #3615)
Have they also forgotten that Allah has revealed to Muhammad(saw) that:
Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets; and Allah has full knowledge of all things(Chapter 33 Verse 41)
