Hadith 2184 وَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ وَ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) يَقُولُ إِنَّ السَّمَاءَ بَكَتْ عَلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا وَ لَمْ تَبْكِ عَلَى أَحَدٍ غَيْرِهِمَا قُلْتُ وَ مَا بُكَاؤُهَا قَالَ مَكَثَتْ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً تَطْلُعُ كَشَمْسٍ بِحُمْرَةٍ وَ تَغْرُبُ بِحُمْرَةٍ قُلْتُ فَذَاكَ بُكَاؤُهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ
4. ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain ibn Mūsā ibn Bābawayh and others narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdil Jabbār, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl, from Ḥammād ibn ‘Uthmān, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Hilāl, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: The heavens wept over Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) and Yaḥyā ibn Zakariyyā (a.s.) and they have never wept over anyone other than them. I asked, “How did the heavens weep?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “The heavens became red for forty days like the sun at the time of sunrise and sunset.” I asked, “Is that how the heavens weep?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Yes.”
