14 وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ مَعْقِلٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ كَانَ قَاتِلُ يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا وَلَدَ زِنًا وَ قَاتِلُ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) وَلَدَ زِناً وَ لَمْ تَبْكِ السَّمَاءُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ إِلَّا عَلَيْهِمَا قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ تَبْكِي قَالَ تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ فِي حُمْرَةٍ وَ تَغِيبُ فِي حُمْرَةٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ
14. My father and ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain both narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from more than one person, from Ja’far ibn Bashīr, from Ḥammād, from ‘Āmir ibn Mi’qal, from Ḥasan ibn Ziyād, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: The killer of Yaḥyā ibn Zakariyyā (a.s.) was conceived illegitimately and the killer of Ḥusain (a.s.) was (also) conceived illegitimately. The heavens have never wept over anyone other than them. I asked, “How did the heavens weep?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “The heavens became red at the time of sunrise and sunset.” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Qurashi, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Ja’far ibn Bashīr, from Ḥammād, from ‘Āmir ibn Mi’qal, from Ḥasan ibn Ziyād, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.).
