28-57 Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Mu’addib - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Sa’eed al-Kufi quoted on the authority of Ali ibn Al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Fadhdhal, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abil Hassan Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha (s), on the authority of his father Musa ibn Ja’far (s), on the authority of his father Ja’far ibn Muhammad (s), on the authority of his father Muhammad ibn Ali (s), on the authority of Ali ibn Al-Hussein (s), on the authority of his father Al-Hussein ibn Ali (s) that when the time of the demise of Al-Hassan ibn Ali (s) came, he (s) cried. They asked him (s), “O son of the Prophet of God! Considering your position relative to the Prophet of God (s), your rank, what God’s Prophet (s) has said about you, your having gone on the Hajj pilgrimage twenty times on foot, your having divided up your wealth - even your shoes - with God (in charity) three times, why are you crying?” The Imam (s) said, “I am crying for two reasons: fear of what I will encounter (death) and separation from the loved ones.”
