Weeping of the Heavens and the Earth over the Killing of Ĥusain and Yaĥyā ibn Zakariyyā — Hadith 12

12. Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd ibn Ḥukaym narrated to me from Salamah ibn Khaťťāb, from Muḥammad ibn Abī ‘Umayr, from Ḥusain ibn ‘Isā, from Aslam ibn Qāsim, from ‘Umar ibn Wahab, from his father, who said: ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain (Imam Sajjād (a. s. )) said, “The heavens have never wept over anyone since the day they were created except for Yaḥyā ibn Zakariyyā (a. s. ) and Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a. s. ). ” I asked, “How did the heavens weep? ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “If you would have faced (the wind) with a garment, you would have seen something similar to a red mist of blood on it. ”
