Crying of the Angels on Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali عليه السلام

3 وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) وَ جَمَاعَةُ مَشَايِخِي عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَأْتُونَهُ يَعْنِي قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَإِنَّ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافِ مَلَكٍ يَبْكُونَ عِنْدَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
3. My father and all of my scholars narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from ‘Ali ibn Ismā’īl, from Ḥammād ibn ‘Isā, from Rib’i, from Fuďayl ibn Yasār, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) said: What is wrong with you (people)?! Why do you not go to him? – This refers to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain عليه السلام. Verily four thousand angels cry next to him (and will continue to do so) until the Day of Judgment.
