4. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ḥusain ibn ‘Ubaydillāh, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Abī ‘Uthmān, from ‘Abdil Jabbār Al-Nahāwandi, from Abī Sa’īd, from Ḥusain ibn Thuwayr, from Yūnus (ibn Żabyān), Abī Salamah Al-Sarrāj, and Mufaďďal ibn ‘Umar, who all said: We heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq 
) say: When Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali died, everything Allāh has created cried over him except three things (places): Basra, Damascus, and the family of ‘Uthmān.
