Weeping of the Heavens and the Earth over the Killing of Ĥusain and Yaĥyā ibn Zakariyyā — Hadith 1

1. My father and a group of my scholars including ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ya’qūb ibn Yazīd, from Aḥmad ibn Ḥasan Al-Maythami, from ‘Ali Al-Azraq, from Ḥasan ibn Ḥakam Al-Nakha’i, from someone who said: I heard the Commander of the Believers (a. s. ) in Ruḥbah reading this verse, “Neither did the heavens weep over them, nor the earth, nor were they granted respite” (44: 29), when Ḥusain (a. s. ) entered from one of the doors of the mosque. The Commander of the Believers (a. s. ) said, “As for him (Ḥusain (a. s. )), verily he will be killed and the heavens and the earth will weep over him. ”
