Hadith 1:


وَ ذَكَرَ أَحمَدُ بنُ مُحَمَّدِ بنِ دَاوُدَ القُمِّيُّ فِي نَوَادِرِهِ قَالَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بنُ عِيسَى عَن أَخِيهِ جَعفَرِ بنِ عِيسَى عَن خَالِدِ بنِ سَدِيرٍ أَخِي حَنَانِ بنِ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلتُ أَبَا عَبدِ اللّه‌ (ع)

وَ قَد شَقَقنَ الجُيُوبَ وَ لَطَمنَ الخُدُودَ الفَاطِمِيَّاتُ عَلَى الحُسَينِ بنِ عَلِيٍّ(ع) وَ عَلَى مِثلِهِ تُلطَمُ الخُدُودُ وَ تُشَقُّ الجُيُوبُ

Narrated as part of narration that Abu Abd-Allah Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) said:

"The Fatimad women (عليهم السلام) tore off their collars/pockets (refers to tearing of part of the dress) and slapped their cheeks upon Imam Husayn ibn Ali (عليهم السلام), upon the likes of Husayn (عليه السلام), cheeks must [certainly] be slapped and collars must be torn"

Hadith 2:


مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ الْخَفَّافِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَال‏ 

وَ النِّسَاءُ نِسَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ قَدْ خَدَشْنَ الْوُجُوهَ وَ نَشَرْنَ الشُّعُورَ وَ جَزَزْنَ النَّوَاصِيَ وَ خَرَقْنَ الْجُيُوبَ وَ حَزَمْنَ الْبُطُونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَهُ قَالَ لَهُنَّ خَيْراً وَ أَمَرَهُنَّ أَنْ يَسْتَتِرْنَ وَ يَدْخُلْنَ مَنَازِلَهُنَّ

Narrated that Abu Abd-Allah Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) said,

"The women of the Helpers had scratched their faces, and spread their hair, and placed dust upon their foreheads, and had torn the sides of their dresses, and tied their abdomens for (the grief for) Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله). So when He saw them, He said good things for them and told them to cover themselves up and enter their respective houses."

Hadith 3:

ونادى جبرئيل عليه السلام بين السماء والارض بصوت يسمعه كل مستيقظ: " تهدمت والله أركان الهدى، وانطمست والله نجوم السماء و أعلام التقى، وانفصمت والله العروة الوثقى، قتل ابن عم محمد المصطفى، قتل الوصي المجتبى، قتل علي المرتضى، قتل والله سيد الاوصياء، قتله أشقى الاشقياء " قال: فلما سمعت ام كلثوم نعي جبرئيل فلطمت على وجهها وخدها وشقت جيبها و صاحت: وا أبتاه وا علياه وامحمداه واسيداه

Describing the event of Martyrdom of Imam Ali (عليه السلام):

And Jibreel called out from between the sky and the earth, and all who were awake heard him:

"By Allah (عز وجل), the pillars of guidance have been demolished. The stars of the sky and signs of the pious have been extinguished. By Allah (عز وجل), the rope of Allah (swt) has been cut. The cousin of Mohammad al-Mustafa (صلى الله عليه وآله) has been killed. The guardian al-Mujtaba has been killed. Ali al-Murtaza (عليه السلام) has been killed. By Allah (عز وجل) the chief of the guardians has been killed. He was killed by the most wretched of all the wretched."

When Umm-Kulsoom (عليها السلام) heard the announcement of Jibraeel , She hit her face and her cheek, tore the side of her dress and screamed ‘O Father, O Ali (عليه السلام), O Mohammad (صلى الله عليه وآله), O Sayyedah (عليها السلام). ..
