Imām Alī ibn Mūsā al-Rezā (A.S.) said: One day Imām Husayn (a.s.) went to his brother Imām Hasan (a.s.). When he looked at Imām Hasan (a.s.), he started weeping. Imām Hasan (a.s.) asked, “O Abā Abdillah! Why do you weep”? Imām Husayn (a.s.) replied that he wept on account of that which would befall him [Imām Hasan (a.s.)]. Imām Hasan ibn ‘Alī ibn Abī Tālib (a.s.) said, “What shall befall me is the fatal poison, but none of my days will be similar to that of yours. Thirty thousand people, claiming to follow our Grandfather (the Prophet), will unite to attack you and shed your blood, and violate the sanctity and imprison your womenfolk and children and plunder your tents. At that time the wrath (of Allāh) will descend upon the Bani Umayyāh and the heavens will rain blood, and all things will lament over you, to the extent that the wild-beasts of the forests and the fish of the rivers will also weep over your sufferings.” [References: Nafasul Mahmum, Chapter 3, Section 2, Tradition 40]
