Crying of the Angels on Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali عليه السلام

10. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl ibn Bazī’, from Abī Ismā’īl Al-Sarrāj, from Yaḥyā ibn Mu’ammar Al-‘Aťťār, from Abī Basīr, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir عليه السلام) said: There are four thousand disheveled angels who are covered with dust who cry over Ḥusain عليه السلام (and will continue to do so) until the Day of Judgment. They receive everyone who comes to (the Ziyārah of) Ḥusain عليه السلام. If the ZUWWĀR of Ḥusain عليه السلام become ill, they go to visit them and when they die, they attend (their funerals). The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: My father, from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl ibn Bazī’, from Abī Ismā’īl Al-Sarrāj, from Yaḥyā ibn Mu’ammar Al-‘Aťťār, from Abī Basīr, from Abī Ja’far عليه السلام.
