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

4. ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain ibn Mūsā ibn Bābawayh and others narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdil Jabbār, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl, from Ḥammād ibn ‘Uthmān, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Hilāl, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) say: The heavens wept over Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali عليه السلام and Yaḥyā ibn Zakariyyā عليه السلام and they have never wept over anyone other than them. I asked, “How did the heavens weep?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “The heavens became red for forty days like the sun at the time of sunrise and sunset.” I asked, “Is that how the heavens weep?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “Yes.”
