8. My father and all of my scholars narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Abī Khalaf, from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā Al-Mu’ādhi, from Ḥusain/Ḥasan ibn Mūsā Al-Asam, from ‘Amr (ibn Shimr Al-Ju’fi), from Jābir (Al-Ju’fi), who said: Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali (Imam Bāqir ) said: When Ḥusain was about to leave Madīnah, the women of Banī ‘Abdil Muťťalib gathered around him and started mourning. Ḥusain (stood up) and started walking between them and said, “I ask you by Allāh not to disobey Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ by revealing this matter (publicly).” The women replied: Then who should we cry and mourn over if we do not mourn today, for today is like the day when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, ‘Ali, Fāťimah , Ruqayyah, Zaynab, and Um Kulthūm died. O the most loved one from among (our loved ones) who have passed away! We ask you by Allāh (to allow us) to be your ransom to keep death away from you. Then one of his aunts came forth crying and said: O Ḥusain! I testify that I heard the Jinn lament over you and recite the following poem: Verily the slain one from the family of Hāshim lowered the necks of the Quraysh and disgraced them. He was the love of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and he was not an immoderate person. (O Ḥusain!) Your tragedy is the great(est) tragedy and it has grieved everyone. Imam Bāqir added: The Jinn also recited the following poem: Weep over Ḥusain , the master, the one whose death turned the hairs white. You have been afflicted with earthquakes and the moon has eclipsed because of his killing. And the horizons turn red (everyday) at sunrise and sunset. And the sun has been covered with dust and the earths have been covered with darkness. He is the son of Fāťimah (s.a.) and the entire creation has been afflicted by his tragedy. (After the killing of Ḥusain ) we have lost our glory and we have inherited humiliation.
