إِنَّ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ جَاءَ إِلَى قَبْرِ يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا ( عليهم السلام ) وَ كَانَ سَأَلَ رَبَّهُ أَنْ يُحْيِيَهُ لَهُ فَدَعَاهُ فَأَجَابَهُ وَ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْقَبْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا تُرِيدُ مِنِّي فَقَالَ لَهُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تُؤْنِسَنِي كَمَا كُنْتَ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا عِيسَى مَا سَكَنَتْ عَنِّي حَرَارَةُ الْمَوْتِ وَ أَنْتَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُعِيدَنِي إِلَى الدُّنْيَا وَ تَعُودَ عَلَيَّ حَرَارَةُ الْمَوْتِ فَتَرَكَهُ فَعَادَ إِلَى قَبْرِهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, from one of our companions, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Rabie Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Suleym Al Aamiry, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Isa Bin Maryam<sup>as</sup> came to the grave of Yahya Bin Zakariyya<sup>as</sup>, and he<sup>as</sup> had asked his<sup>as</sup> Lord<sup>azwj</sup> to Revive him<sup>as</sup> for him<sup>as</sup>. So he<sup>as</sup> called out to him<sup>as</sup>, and he<sup>as</sup> answered him<sup>as</sup> and came out to him<sup>as</sup> from the grave, and said to him<sup>as</sup>, ‘What do you<sup>as</sup> want from me<sup>as</sup>?’ So he<sup>as</sup> said to him<sup>as</sup>: ‘I<sup>as</sup> want you<sup>as</sup> to comfort me<sup>as</sup> just as you<sup>as</sup> used to in the world’. So he<sup>as</sup> said: ‘O Isa<sup>as</sup>!’ The heat of death has yet to settle from me<sup>as</sup> and you<sup>as</sup> want to return me<sup>as</sup> to the world, and the heat of death to return upon me<sup>as</sup>(again)?’ So he<sup>as</sup> left him<sup>as</sup>, so he<sup>as</sup> returned to his<sup>as</sup> grave’.
