Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Naji Hazrami that he said he traveled with Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He began to arrange for ablution and other needs for Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) until they reached near the city of Nineveh. Their intention was to go towards Siffin. Then Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) called out, "Wait, Abu Abdullah, wait, Abu Abdullah." I said, "What has happened to Abu Abdullah?" He (Hazrat Ali) said, "I went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in such a state that tears were flowing from his eyes." Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) explained, "I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), your eyes are flowing, has someone angered you?' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, 'Jibreel was standing with me. He informed me that Husayn will be martyred on the banks of the Euphrates. Thus, I could not control my eyes and they overflowed.'"
