Chapter 28 | Weeping of the Heavens and the Earth over the Killing of Ĥusain and Yaĥyā ibn Zakariyyā
21 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) يَقُولُ كَانَ الَّذِي قَتَلَ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ (ع) وَلَدَ زِناً وَ الَّذِي قَتَلَ يَحْيَى بْنَ زَكَرِيَّا وَلَدَ زِنًا وَ قَدْ قَالَ احْمَرَّتِ السَّمَاءُ حِينَ قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ سَنَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ بَكَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَ الْأَرْضُ عَلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ عَلَى يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا وَ حُمْرَتُهَا بُكَاؤُهَا
21. My father narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan (ibn ‘Ali) ibn Mahziyār, from his father, from ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār, from Ḥasan ibn Sa’īd, from Faďālah ibn Ayyūb, from Dāwūd ibn Farqad, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq ) say: The killer of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali was conceived illegitimately and the killer of Yaḥyā ibn Zakariyyā was (also) conceived illegitimately. When Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali was killed, the heavens turned red for one year. The heavens and the earth have (only) wept over Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali and Yaḥyā ibn Zakariyyā , and the heavens weep by becoming red.
