5. Qāsim ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali ibn Ibrāhīm narrated to me from his father, from his grandfather, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ḥammād, from Isḥāq ibn ‘Ammār, who said
I said to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)): May I sacrifice myself for you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh! On the night of ‘Arafah, I was in Ḥīrah (Ḥā`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 Ḥusain (a.s.) 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 (a.s.) asked me, “Do you know who they were?” I replied, “May I sacrifice myself for you! I do not.” Imam (a.s.) replied: My father (a.s.) narrated to me from his father (a.s.), who said: Four thousand angels passed by Ḥusain (a.s.) 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, Muḥammad (s.a.a.w.), 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 (a.s.) continued, “So now they remain by his grave (and will continue to do so) until the rising of the Hour.”

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ كُنْتُ فِي الْحِيرَةِ لَيْلَةَ عَرَفَةَ فَرَأَيْتُ نَحْواً مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةِ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ جَمِيلَةٍ وُجُوهُهُمْ طَيِّبَةٍ رِيحُهُمْ شَدِيدَةٍ بَيَاضُ ثِيَابِهِمْ يُصَلُّونَ اللَّيْلَ أَجْمَعَ فَلَقَدْ كُنْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ آتِيَ قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) وَ أُقَبِّلَهُ وَ أَدْعُوَ بِدَعَوَاتِي فَمَا كُنْتُ أَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الْخَلْقِ فَلَمَّا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ سَجَدْتُ سَجْدَةً فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَلَمْ أَرَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَداً فَقَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) أَ تَدْرِي مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ قُلْتُ لَا جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ مَرَّ بِالْحُسَيْنِ (ع) أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ مَلَكٍ وَ هُوَ يُقْتَلُ فَعَرَجُوا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مَرَرْتُمْ بِابْنِ حَبِيبِي وَ صَفِيِّي مُحَمَّدٍ (ص) وَ هُوَ يُقْتَلُ وَ يُضْطَهَدُ مَظْلُوماً فَلَمْ تَنْصُرُوهُ- فَانْزِلُوا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَى قَبْرِهِ فَابْكُوهُ شُعْثاً غُبْراً إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَهُمْ عِنْدَهُ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ الْقِيَامَةُ [السَّاعَةُ]
