15 وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ رَحِمَهُمَا اللَّهُ جَمِيعاً عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ السَّمَاءَ بَكَتْ عَلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا وَ لَمْ تَبْكِ عَلَى أَحَدٍ غَيْرِهِمَا قُلْتُ وَ مَا بُكَاؤُهَا قَالَ مَكَثُوا أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ بِحُمْرَةٍ وَ تَغْرُبُ بِحُمْرَةٍ قُلْتُ فَذَاكَ بُكَاؤُهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ
15. My father and ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain both narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali Al-Washā, 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.) but they did not weep over anyone other than them. I asked, “How did the heavens weep?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “The heavens became red for forty days at the time of sunrise and sunset.” I asked, “Is that how the heavens weep?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Yes.”
