Yes, there is a "like" for Al-Ḥusayn (may his glory be exalted), and this subject is a strange surprise for the Negligent. The like of Al-Ḥusayn here is our Master Al-Ajda‘, Abu al-Tayyibat, Abu Al-Khaṭṭāb, Muḥammad ibn Ismā‘īl ibn Abī Zaynab (upon him is the light and mercy), the Door of the God of gods and the Lord of lords, my Master Ja‘far Al-Anām (may his glory be exalted). This is the one whose mention, in a place, causes the hearts of the Negligent to be disgusted, and whose remembrance, in a time, causes the faces of the Negligent to frown. Why not, when he is the one who cuts off their noses, silences their arguments, and destroys their religions in every cycle (kawr) and turn (dawr)?

A report came in the esoteric books, which was not noticed even by the perceptive scholar among the Unitarians, nor the shrewd Shaykh, that the intent of the exoteric traditions regarding weeping and mourning is, in reality, for the like of Al-Ḥusayn (may his glory be exalted), and he is Abu Al-Khaṭṭāb. It is mentioned in the Book of Al-Jawāhir Fī Maʿrifat Al-‘Alī Al-Qādir Li-l-Shābb Ath-Thiqa (peace be upon him) (The Jewels in Knowing the Exalted, the All-Powerful, for the Trustworthy Youth) (peace be upon him):

From Muḥammad ibn Sinān (peace be upon him) from Al-Mufaḍḍal ibn ‘Umar (from him is peace), he said: Our Master Al-Ṣādiq (may his glory be exalted) said one day, while a group of his companions was with him: "The people of the Cave have gone to My mercy and My satisfaction, and they have reached the greater expanse in the barren lands of the most luminous light. The rabble, the scum, who listen in secret and then spread it to My allies, remain. Woe to the successor of the one who was killed yesterday in the Abode of Sustenance. For those, let the mourners weep, and let them not weep over him, but over themselves for their failure to join them." Then he said: "By Allah, Abū Al-Khaṭṭāb passed away upon the knowledge of Me and the knowledge of My enemy, clinging, he and his companions, to the firmest handle."

So, note the Master's saying: "For those, let the mourners weep," and he did not say "For the likes of those, let the mourners weep." The weeping is for the one who failed to join them, and this is the situation of the Negligent who failed to know the Door of Allah, to support him, and to submit to him in obedience...
