The Sufficient (Vol 3) · Hadith 840 (#Ḥadīth #3)

3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ لَمَّا أُصِيبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) نَعَى الْحَسَنُ إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) وَهُوَ بِالْمَدَائِنِ فَلَمَّا قَرَأَ الْكِتَابَ قَالَ يَا لَهَا مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ مَا أَعْظَمَهَا مَعَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَالَ مَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنْكُمْ بِمُصِيبَةٍ فَلْيَذْكُرْ مُصَابَهُ بِي فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يُصَابَ بِمُصِيبَةٍ أَعْظَمَ مِنْهَا وَصَدَقَ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه).

3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Isma’il ibn Mehran from Sayf ibn ‘Amirah from ‘Amr ibn Shimr from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Walid al-Ju’fi from a man from his father who has said the following: “When Amir al-Mu’minin was struck, al-Hasan informed Al-Husayn, about it. He was in al-Mada’in (Ctesiphon) at that time. When he read the letter, he said, ‘How intense and great is this sorrow! Even though the Messenger of Allah has said that if you experience grief and sorrow, remind yourself of your sorrow and grief about me. It is very true that no sorrow and grief is more intense and greater than the sorrow and grief for him, he has certainly spoken the truth.’”
