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

16. My father and ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain both narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad, from Muḥammad ibn Khālid Al-Barqi, from ‘Abdil ‘Aďīm ibn ‘Abdillāh Al-Ḥasani, from Ḥasan ibn Ḥakam Al-Nakha’i, from Kuthayr ibn Shihāb Al-Ḥārithi, who said: (One day) while we were sitting with the Commander of the Believers عليه السلام in Ruḥbah, Ḥusain عليه السلام entered. (When the Commander of the Believers عليه السلام saw him), he smiled in a way that one could see his teeth. Then he (the Commander of the Believers عليه السلام) said: Allāh has mentioned some people in the Qur’an by saying, “Neither did the heavens weep over them, nor the earth, nor were they granted respite” (44:29). I swear to He, who split the grain and created the living beings, that he (Ḥusain عليه السلام) will be killed and the heavens and the earth will weep over him.
