النضر بن سويد عن عبد الله ابن سنان عمن سمع أبا جعفر عليه السلام يقول: لما حضر الحسن بن علي عليهما السلام الوفاة بكى فقيل له: يا بن بنت رسول الله تبكى ومكانك من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله مكانك الذي أنت به وقد قال فيك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله ما قال وقد حججت عشرين حجة راكبا وعشرين حجة ماشيا وقد قاسمت ربك مالك ثلاث مرات حتى النعل فقال عليه السلام إنما ابكى لخصلتين: هول المطلع وفراق الأحبة.
6.Al-Naḍr ibn Suwayd narrated from ʿAbdullāh ibn Sinān, from someone who heard Abā Jaʿfar  say, “When al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī  was on his deathbed, he cried, so someone asked him, ‘O son of the daughter of Allah’s Messenger, you are crying despite having the position that you have next to the Messenger of Allah (ṣ)? And despite what the Messenger of Allah (ṣ) has said regarding you? And despite your having gone for pilgrimage twenty times riding and twenty times on foot? And despite having given away all your possessions for the sake of Allah thrice, even your sandals?’ He  replied, ‘I am only weeping for two things: the terror of what is to come [in the grave and Hereafter] and separation from loved ones.’”
