5 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ ثُوَيْرٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَ يُونُسُ بْنُ ظَبْيَانَ وَ الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ السَّرَّاجُ جُلُوساً عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) فَكَانَ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ يُونُسَ وَ كَانَ أَكْبَرَنَا سِنّاً وَ ذَكَرَ حَدِيثاً طَوِيلًا يَقُولُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) إِنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) لَمَّا مَضَى بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِ السَّمَاوَاتُ السَّبْعُ وَ الْأَرَضُونَ السَّبْعُ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُنَّ وَ مَا يَنْقَلِبُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ مِنْ خَلْقِ رَبِّنَا وَ مَا يُرَى وَ مَا لَا يُرَى وَ بَكَى عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةَ أَشْيَاءَ لَمْ تَبْكِ عَلَيْهِ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا هَذِهِ الثَّلَاثَةُ أَشْيَاءَ قَالَ لَمْ تَبْكِ عَلَيْهِ الْبَصْرَةُ وَ لَا دِمَشْقُ وَ لَا آلُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ وَ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
5. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Qāsim ibn Yaḥyā, from Ḥasan ibn Rāshid, from Ḥusain ibn Thuwayr, who said: Yūnus ibn Żabyān, Mufaďďal ibn ‘Umar, Abū Salamah Al-Sarrāj, and I were sitting with Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq 
). Yūnus was the eldest amongst us and he spoke (to the Imam ) on our behalf. Imam said to us – as part of a longer Ḥadīth: Verily when Abū ‘Abdillāh, (Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali ) died, the seven heavens, the seven earths, everything within them, everything between them, everything in Paradise and Hell from the creation of our Lord, and everything that can be seen and everything that cannot be seen, cried over Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain ) except three things. I (Ḥusain ibn Thuwayr) asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! What are those three things?” Imam replied, “Basra, Damascus, and the family of ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān.”
