Weeping of the Heavens and the Earth over the Killing of Ĥusain عليه السلام and Yaĥyā ibn Zakariyyā عليه السلام

12. Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd ibn Ḥukaym narrated to me from Salamah ibn Khaťťāb, from Muḥammad ibn Abī ‘Umayr, from Ḥusain ibn ‘Isā, from Aslam ibn Qāsim, from ‘Umar ibn Wahab, from his father, who said: ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain (Imam Sajjād عليه السلام) said, “The heavens have never wept over anyone since the day they were created except for Yaḥyā ibn Zakariyyā عليه السلام and Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali عليه السلام.” I asked, “How did the heavens weep?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “If you would have faced (the wind) with a garment, you would have seen something similar to a red mist of blood on it.”
