Weeping of the Heavens and the Earth over the Killing of Ĥusain and Yaĥyā ibn Zakariyyā — Hadith 6

6. ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain ibn Mūsā narrated to me from ‘Ali ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Hāshim, from his father, from Ibn Faďďāl, from Abī Jamīlah, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali Al-Ḥalabi, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a. s. )) explained the verse, “Neither did the heavens weep over them, nor the earth, nor were they granted respite” (44: 29). He (the Imam (a. s. )) said, “The heavens never wept over anyone after the killing of Yaḥyā ibn Zakariyyā (a. s. ) until Ḥusain (a. s. ) was killed. And when he was killed, the heavens wept over him (also). ”
