Hadith 222
۞
8. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl, from Ibn Bukayr, from Zurārah, from ‘Abdil Khāliq ibn ‘Abd Rabbih, who said
I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: “We have not given that name to anyone before (him)” (19:7). Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali’s name was not given to anyone before him and Yaḥyā ibn Zakariyyā’s name was also not given to anyone before him. And the heavens have never wept over anyone for forty days except for the two of them. I asked, “How did the heavens weep?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “The heavens became red at the time of sunrise and sunset.”
8 وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْخَالِقِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) يَقُولُ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ سَمِيًّا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ سَمِيًّا وَ يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا (ع) لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ سَمِيًّا وَ لَمْ تَبْكِ السَّمَاءُ إِلَّا عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحاً قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا بُكَاؤُهَا قَالَ كَانَتْ تَطْلُعُ حَمْرَاءَ وَ تَغْرُبُ حَمْرَاءَ
