The Lamentation of Jinn on Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali — Hadith 1

1. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Qurashi Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Nasr ibn Muzāḥim, from ‘Amr ibn Sa’īd, from ‘Amr ibn Thābit, from Ḥabīb ibn Abī Thābit, from Um Salamah – the wife of the Prophet (s. a. a. w. ), who said: I did not hear the lamentation of Jinn since the night Allāh took the life of His Prophet (s. a. a. w. ) until tonight, and I believe that I have been afflicted by (the killing of) my son, Ḥusain (a. s. ). I heard a Jinni recite (the following poem): O my eyes! Shed abundant tears. Who will weep over the martyrs? ! (Shed tears) over a group who are being led toward (their) death by a tyrant who is from the progeny of a slave.
