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

18. My father and my brother both narrated to me from Aḥmad ibn Idrīs, and from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā, from ‘Amraki ibn ‘Ali Al-Būfaki, from Yaḥyā – who was the servant of Abī Ja’far the Second (Imam Jawād عليه السلام), from ‘Ali (ibn Ḥakam Al-Kūfi), from Safwān Al-Jammāl, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) on the route from Madīnah to Makkah, “O son of the Messenger of Allāh! Why do I see you so depressed, saddened, and grieved?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “If you could hear that which I hear, you would have been distracted from asking me this question.” I asked, “What do you hear?” Imam عليه السلام replied: (I hear the voice of) the angels beseeching Allāh, the Great and Almighty, to curse the killers of the Commander of the Believers and the killers of Ḥusain عليه السلام. And (I hear the voice of) lamentation of the Jinn and the intense restlessness and weeping of the angels who are around him (Imam Ḥusain عليه السلام). So who can enjoy food, drink, or sleeping after hearing these voices?!
