٣ حَدَّثَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ بِالرَّيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ النَّصِيبِيُّ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الْمَشِيخَةُ أَنَّ الْمَلَكَ الَّذِي جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) وَ أَخْبَرَهُ بِقَتْلِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) كَانَ مَلَكَ الْبِحَارِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ مَلَكاً مِنْ مَلَائِكَةِ الْفِرْدَوْسِ نَزَلَ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ فَنَشَرَ أَجْنِحَتَهُ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ صَاحَ صَيْحَةً وَ قَالَ يَا أَهْلَ الْبِحَارِ الْبَسُوا أَثْوَابَ الْحُزْنِ فَإِنَّ فَرْخَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) مَذْبُوحٌ ثُمَّ حَمَلَ مِنْ تُرْبَتِهِ فِي أَجْنِحَتِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مَلَكٌ فِيهَا إِلَّا شَمَّهَا وَ صَارَ عِنْدَهُ لَهَا أَثَرٌ وَ لَعَنَ قَتَلَتَهُ وَ أَشْيَاعَهُمْ وَ أَتْبَاعَهُمْ
3. Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali Al-Za’farāni narrated to me in the city of Ray from Muĥammad ibn ‘Umar Al-Našǐbi, from Hishām ibn Sa’d, who said: Some scholars narrated to me that the angel who came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and informed him of the killing of Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali  was the angel of the seas. An angel from Firdaws flew down to an ocean, with his wings spread out over the (entire) ocean. He cried out, “O inhabitants of the seas! Attire yourselves in garments of grief, for the son of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ will be slaughtered.” Then he carried some of the dust of Ĥusain  with his wings to the heavens. There was no angel that remained who did not smell it and who was not thereby agitated. They all cursed the killers of Ĥusain , their supporters, and their followers.
