Crying of the Angels on Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali عليه السلام

6 وَ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ عَنْ مُبَارَكٍ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) عِنْدَ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ مَلَكٍ شُعْثٌ غُبْرٌ يَبْكُونَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
6. My father and ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain both narrated to me from Sa’d (ibn ‘Abdillāh), from Ibrāhīm ibn Hāshim, from Ibn Faďďāl, from Tha’labah, from Mubārak Al-‘Aťťār, from Muḥammad ibn Qays, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) said to me: There are four thousand angels by the grave of Ḥusain عليه السلام who are disheveled and covered with dust; they cry over him (and will continue to do so) until the Day of Judgment.
