Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Nafasul Mahmum, Relating to the heart rending tragedy of Karbala' Complaining of the Angels regarding the Martyrdom of Imam Husayn (a.s.) in the Audience of Allah and their lamenting upon him Shaikh Abu Ja’far Al-Tusi relates from Imam Ja’far as Sadiq (a.s.), that when Imam Husayn (a.s.) was martyred, the Angels bemoaned in the Audience of Allah, the Mighty, the Sublime, and said, *“*O Allah!
How have they treated the chosen-one and the son of Your Prophet (S)?” Allah showed them the image of the (Imam) Al Qa’em (a.t.f.s.), and said, “I shall seek his revenge from his oppressors through his medium”. Shaikh Saduq relates from Aban bin Taghlib, that Imam Ja’far as Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Four thousand Angels descended from the heavens and joined Imam Husayn (a.s.) so as to fight alongside him, but he did not permit them to fight.
They returned back and took permission (from Allah), but when they returned back, Imam (a.s.) was already martyred. Now they remain at the head of his grave with disheveled (hair) and smeared in dust. They weep upon him until the Qiyamah, while the name of their leader is Mansoor”.

While in the contents of some of them it is further related, that when the pilgrims of Imam Husayn (a.s.) arrive, they come to receive them. And if any of the pilgrims fall sick, they come to visit him; and if any of the pilgrims dies, then they offer Prayers upon his dead body; and they pray for his forgiveness after his death, while they ever await the rising of (Imam) Al Qaem (a.t.f.s.).
Shaikh Ibn Qawlawayh relates from Abdul Malik bin Muqarran, that Imam Ja’far as Sadiq (a.s.) said that, “When you go for the pilgrimage of Abu Abdullah (Imam Husayn), do not utter anything except fair, for the Angels of the day and night, along with you, meet those (the Angels) residing at the threshold of Imam Husayn (a.s.). They shake hands with them but they do not answer them due to excessive weeping. They wait until the sunrise or the twilight so that they may speak to them.
They then inquire from them regarding the affairs of the heavens, but in between these two times they neither speak to one another nor do they tire due to weeping and supplicating”. Hurayz relates, that I inquired from Imam Abi Abdullah Ja’far as Sadiq (a.s.) that, “May I be your ransom!
