5. Qāsim ibn Muĥammad ibn ‘Ali ibn Ibrāhǐm narrated to me from his father, from his grandfather, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ĥammād, from Isĥāq ibn ‘Ammār, who said: I said to Abǐ ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ): May I sacrifice myself for you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh! On the night of ‘Arafah, I was in Ĥǐrah (Ĥā`ir) and I saw three to four thousand handsome men who smelled beautiful and whose clothing was pure white, who were praying all night. I wanted to go to the grave of Ĥusain  and kiss it and pray there. However, I could not reach it because of how crowded it was. It was after dawn that I prostrated and when I raised my head, I could not see any of them. Abū ‘Abdillāh  asked me, “Do you know who they were?” I replied, “May I sacrifice myself for you! I do not.” Imam  replied: My father  narrated to me from his father , who said: Four thousand angels passed by Ĥusain  while he was being killed so they ascended to the heavens. Allāh revealed to them, “O crowd of angels! You passed by the son of My love and My choice from My creation, Muĥammad ﷺ, and he was being killed and oppressed but you did not help him. Descend to earth and cry by his grave while you are disheveled and covered with dust until the Day of Judgment.” Imam  continued, “So now they remain by his grave (and will continue to do so) until the rising of the Hour.”
