كَانَ يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا ( عليه السلام ) يَبْكِي وَ لَا يَضْحَكُ وَ كَانَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ( عليه السلام ) يَضْحَكُ وَ يَبْكِي وَ كَانَ الَّذِي يَصْنَعُ عِيسَى ( عليه السلام ) أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَصْنَعُ يَحْيَى ( عليه السلام ) .
Translation
From him, from Ibn Fazzal, from Al Hassan Bin Al Jahm, from Ibrahim Bin Mihzam, from the one who mentioned it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> the 1<sup>st</sup> having said: ‘It was so that Yahya Bin Zakariyya<sup>as</sup> would cry and not laugh, and it was so that Isa<sup>as</sup> Bin Maryam<sup>as</sup> would laugh and cry, and that which Isa<sup>as</sup> did is superior than that which was done by Yahya<sup>as</sup>’.
