7. Muĥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh (ibn Ja’far Al-Ĥimyari) narrated to me from his father, from ‘Ali ibn Muĥammad ibn Sālim, from Muĥammad ibn Khālid, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ĥammād Al-Bašri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Abdil Raĥmān Al-Ašam, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Muskān, from Abǐ Bašǐr, who said: I was speaking with Abǐ ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ) when his son entered. The Imam  welcomed him, and then hugged and kissed him. Then Imam  said: May Allāh degrade those who degraded you (referring to the children of Imam Ĥusain ). May Allāh avenge those who oppressed you. May Allāh disappoint those who abandoned you. May Allāh curse those who killed you. May Allāh be your friend, protector, and supporter. Verily the prophets, the truthful ones, the martyrs, the angels of the heavens, and our women have been weeping for long. Then the Imam  started to cry and said: O Abā Bašǐr! When I look at the children of Ĥusain , grief overcomes me when I remember what was done to them and to their father . O Abā Bašǐr! Verily Fāťimah (s.a.) cries and sobs over Ĥusain . (When Hell hears her voice) it sighs in such an intense way, that if the keepers of Hell – who also hear her voice – did not prepare themselves to restrain it, Hell would burn all of the inhabitants of the earth with its blazing fires and its sparking fumes. They (the keepers) contain and restrain it and hold its doors tightly closed for as long as Fāťimah (s.a.) cries. They do this because of their fear for the inhabitants of the earth. However, Hell is not pacified until the voice of Fāťimah (s.a.) subsides. Verily the seas almost split apart and then collide (when they hear the weeping of Fāťimah (s.a.)). There is a dedicated angel responsible for every drop of water. When these angels hear the voice of Fāťimah (s.a.), they prevent every drop of water from boiling with their wings; they keep the water together because of their fear for (this) world and everything in it, (specifically) the people of the earth. The angels remain in fear (for the people when they hear the voice of Fāťimah (s.a.)) and cry for her crying. And then they pray to Allāh and beseech Him, after which the inhabitants of the Throne and those who are around it beseech Allāh. Then the voices of the angels are raised in glorification of Allāh, all because of their fear for the people of the earth. Even if one of their voices reached the earth, all of the inhabitants of the earth would swoon away, the mountains would crumble, and the earth would shake (under) its inhabitants. I (Abū Bašǐr) said, “May I sacrifice myself for you! This is such a great matter.” Imam  replied, “That which you have not heard is even greater than this. O Abā Bašǐr! Do you not want to be among those who support Fāťimah (s.a.)?!” When I heard this, I cried so much that I could not speak any longer nor could the Imam  speak because (of how intensely) he was crying. Then he (the Imam ) moved toward his prayer mat and started to supplicate to Allāh, and I left him in that state. I could not eat nor sleep that night. The next morning I was fasting and I was in extreme fear when I went to the Imam . When I saw that he had calmed down, I also calmed down and praised Allāh because no chastisement had befallen me.
