Abdillah who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq in Medina, “Where is the grave of the martyrs?” Imam asked, “Isn’t Imam Husain excellent among the martyrs according to you? I swear by Him in Whose hands is my life, four thousand angels surround the grave of Imam having their hair soiled and crying till the Day of Judgment.”
