The Lamentation of Jinn on Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali — Hadith 10

10. Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd ibn Ḥukaym narrated to me from Salamah ibn Khaťťāb, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Muhammad ibn Sinān, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Qāsim ibn Ḥārith, from Dāwūd Al-Raqqi, who said: My grandmother narrated to me that when Hussain (a. s. ) was killed, the Jinn cried over him and recited the following poem: O my eyes! Shed abundant tears! Cry, for verily the news (of the killing of Hussain (a. s. )) was accurate! Cry over the son of Fatima (s. a. ) who went to (the shores of) the Euphrates but never returned! The Jinn wept over him with agony when they heard the news of the killing of Hussain (a. s. ) and his companions. What terrible news! ! ! ! ! (O Hussain! ) I shall cry with agony over you morning and night, and I shall cry for you as long as there is blood in my veins and as long as the trees bear fruit.
