[36] \n The Crying of the Heavens over Imam Hussain -asws : \n The narrator of the Hadith says: \n I heard Abu Abd Allah -asws (Imam Sadiq -asws ) say: \n “We have not given that name to anyone before (him)” (19:7). Hussain -asws Ibn ‘Ali -asws ‘s name was not given to anyone before him -asws and Yahiya -as ibn Zakariyya -as ‘s name was also not given to anyone before him -as . And the Heavens have never wept over anyone for forty days except for the two of them.

\n I asked, “How did the Heavens weep?” \n Imam -asws replied, “The heavens became red at the time of sunrise sunset. [37] \n The narrator of the Hadith says: \n (One day) while we were sitting with the Amir-ul-Momineen -asws in Rubbah, Hussain -asws entered. \n (When Amir-ul-Momineen -asws saw him -asws ), he -asws smiled in a way that one could see his -asws teeth.

\n Then he (Amir-ul-Momineen -asws ) said: \n Allah -zawj has mentioned some people in the Qur’an by saying, “Neither did the heavens weep over them, nor the earth, nor were they granted respite” (44:29) . I -asws say by the One -zawj , who Split the grain and created the living beings, that he -asws (Hussain -asws ) will be killed and the Heavens and the earth will weep over him -asws .

[38] \n The Lamentation of Jinn on Imam Hussain -asws : \n The narrator of the Hadith says: \n A jinn cried over Hussain -asws Ibn Ali -asws and recited the following verses: \n How will you respond to the Prophet -saww if he -saww asks you: \n (O people!) You were the last of the nations. What did you do to my -saww family -asws , my -saww brothers, and those whom I -saww honoured? \n Why are they either caught as captives or killed, covered in blood?

[39] \n The narrator of the Hadith says: \n Abul Hassan -asws (Imam Ali Reza -asws ) said: \n As Imam Hussain -asws was travelling toward Iraq, he -asws heard a man recite the (following) verses in middle of the night: \n O my camel! Do not be frightened by my scolding and break out before the rising of dawn. \n (Carry me to) the best of riders on the best of journeys until you arrive at the most honourable place.

\n (Carry me to Hussain -asws ) whose grandfather -saww is the most glorious grandfather and Hussain -asws is the most noble one -asws . Verily, Allah -zawj has Chosen him -asws for the best of affairs. \n May he -asws remain until the end of time!
