2 وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى بِالْحُسَيْنِ (ع) سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ شُعْثاً غُبْراً وَ يَدْعُونَ لِمَنْ زَارَهُ وَ يَقُولُونَ يَا رَبِّ هَؤُلَاءِ زُوَّارُ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) افْعَلْ بِهِمْ وَ افْعَلْ بِهِمْ [كَذَا كَذَا]

2. My father, Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan, and ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain all narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥakam, from ‘Ali ibn Abī Ḥamzah, from Abī Basīr, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Allāh, the Blessed and the Exalted, has dedicated seventy thousand angels to Ḥusain (a.s.) who are disheveled and covered with dust who send blessings on him every day. They pray for those who come to his Ziyārah by saying, “O Lord! These are the visitors of Ḥusain (a.s.)! Do such-and-such for them and (reward them with) such-and-such.”

3 حَدَّثَنِي حَكِيمُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ حَسَّانَ [غَسَّانَ] الْبَصْرِيِّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ لَا تَدَعْ زِيَارَةَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) أَ مَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَكُونَ فِيمَنْ تَدْعُو لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ

3. Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd narrated to me from Salamah, from Mūsā ibn ‘Umar, from Ghassān Al-Basri, from Mu’āwiyah ibn Wahab, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Do not neglect going to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.). Do you not like to be among those for whom the angels pray?!

4 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِقَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ شُعْثاً غُبْراً مِنْ يَوْمَ قُتِلَ إِلَى مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ قِيَامَ الْقَائِمِ (ع) وَ يَدْعُونَ لِمَنْ زَارَهُ وَ يَقُولُونَ يَا رَبِّ هَؤُلَاءِ زُوَّارُ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) افْعَلْ بِهِمْ وَ افْعَلْ بِهِمْ

4. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad ibn Walīd narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥakam, from ‘Ali ibn Abī Ḥamzah, from Abī Basīr, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Allāh, the Exalted, has dedicated seventy thousand angels to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) who are disheveled and covered with dust who send blessings on him every day since the day he was killed (and will continue to do so) until a time that Allāh wills – referring to the rising of the Qā`im (Twelfth Imam (a.s.)). They pray for those who come to his Ziyārah by saying, “O Lord! These are the visitors of Ḥusain (a.s.)! Do this for them and do that for them.”

5 حَدَّثَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ كَأَنِّي بِالْقَائِمِ عَلَى نَجَفِ الْكُوفَةِ وَ قَدْ لَبِسَ دِرْعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) فَيَنْتَفِضُ هُوَ بِهَا فَتَسْتَدِيرُ عَلَيْهِ فَيُغَشِّيهَا بِحَدَاجَةٍ مِنْ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ وَ يَرْكَبُ فَرَساً أَدْهَمَ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ شِمْرَاخٌ- فَيَنْتَفِضُ بِهِ انْتِفَاضَةً لَا يَبْقَى أَهْلُ بَلَدٍ إِلَّا وَ هُمْ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ مَعَهُمْ فِي بِلَادِهِمْ فَيَنْتَشِرُ رَايَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) عَمُودُهَا مِنْ عَمُودِ الْعَرْشِ وَ سَائِرُهَا مِنْ نَصْرِ اللَّهِ- لَا يَهْوَى بِهَا إِلَى شَيْءٍ أَبَداً إِلَّا هَتَكَهُ اللَّهُ فَإِذَا هَزَّهَا لَمْ يَبْقَ مُؤْمِنٌ إِلَّا صَارَ قَلْبُهُ كَزُبَرِ الْحَدِيدِ وَ يُعْطَى الْمُؤْمِنُ قُوَّةَ أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا وَ لَا يَبْقَى مُؤْمِنٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ تِلْكَ الْفَرْحَةُ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَ ذَلِكَ حِينَ يَتَزَاوَرُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ وَ يَتَبَاشَرُونَ بِقِيَامِ الْقَائِمِ فَيَسْخَطُ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ وَ ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ وَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ مَلَكاً قُلْتُ كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ قَالَ نَعَمْ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ نُوحٍ فِي السَّفِينَةِ وَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حِينَ أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ وَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ مُوسَى حِينَ فَلَقَ الْبَحْرَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ عِيسَى حِينَ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ وَ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ مَلَكٍ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ (ص) مُسَوِّمِينَ- وَ أَلْفٌ مُرْدِفِينَ وَ ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ وَ ثَلَاثَ عَشَرَةَ مَلَائِكَةً بَدْرِيِّينِ وَ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ مَلَكٍ هَبَطُوا- يُرِيدُونَ الْقِتَالَ مَعَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُمْ فِي الْقِتَالِ فَهُمْ عِنْدَ قَبْرِهِ شُعْثٌ غُبْرٌ- يَبْكُونَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ رَئِيسُهُمْ مَلَكٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَنْصُورٌ فَلَا يَزُورُهُ زَائِرٌ إِلَّا اسْتَقْبَلُوهُ- وَ لَا يُوَدِّعُهُ مُوَدِّعٌ إِلَّا شَيَّعُوهُ وَ لَا يَمْرَضُ مَرِيضٌ إِلَّا عَادُوهُ وَ لَا يَمُوتُ مَيِّتٌ إِلَّا صَلَّوْا عَلَى جِنَازَتِهِ وَ اسْتَغْفَرُوا لَهُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَ كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَنْتَظِرُونَ قِيَامَ الْقَائِمِ (ع) إِلَى وَقْتِ خُرُوجِهِ عَلَيْهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ وَ السَّلَامُ

5. Ḥusain ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Āmir narrated to me from Aḥmad ibn Isḥāq ibn Sa’d, from Sa’dān ibn Muslim, from ‘Umar ibn Abān, from Abān ibn Taghlib, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: It is as if I can see the Qā`im (a.s.) in Najaf (next to) Kūfah wearing the armour of the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.). He will shake the armour (first) and then it will wrap itself around him, after which he will cover it with a robe made of brocade. He will be riding a pitch-black horse which has a raceme on its forehead. He will jump (with) the horse in such a way that people in every country will see him as if he is with them in their (own) country. Then he will unfold the flag of the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.). The flag-pole is from the pillars of the Throne while the rest (of the flag) is from Allāh’s victory! If he points this flag to anything, Allāh will destroy it. When he shakes the flag, the heart of every believer will become like a strong piece of iron and each believer will be given the strength of forty men. Every believer who has died will feel the happiness (of the rising of the Qā`im (a.s.)) in his grave. They (the dead believers) will start visiting one another in their graves and will give glad tidings to one another about the rising of the Qā`im (a.s.). Then thirteen thousand three hundred and thirteen angels will join the Qā`im (a.s.). I (Abān ibn Taghlib) asked, “This many angels will join him?” Imam (a.s.) replied: Yes. (These are) the angels who were with Nūḥ in the ark, with Ibrāhīm when he was cast in the fire, with Mūsā when he split the sea for the Banī Israel, and who were with ‘Isā when Allāh ascended him to Himself. (Among these angels are also) the four thousand “(fully equipped) distinguished angels” and the one thousand “angels [who came] in an unbroken succession” who were with the Prophet (s.a.a.w.), the three hundred and thirteen angels who fought in the Battle of Badr, and the four thousand angels who descended to fight along with Ḥusain (a.s.) but who were not permitted to (fight). They (these four thousand angels) remain by the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), disheveled and covered with dust. They cry over him (and will continue to do so) until the Day of Judgment. Their chief is an angel named Mansūr. These angels receive everyone who comes to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) and they accompany them when they bid farewell to Ḥusain (a.s.). They visit them if they become ill, establish prayers on them at their funerals when they die, and seek forgiveness for them after their death. All of these angels are on earth waiting for the rising of the Qā`im (a.s.).

1 حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَعْزَاءِ عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ بِقَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَعْبُدُونَ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ الصَّلَاةُ الْوَاحِدَةُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ أَحَدِهِمْ تَعْدِلُ أَلْفَ صَلَاةٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْآدَمِيِّينَ يَكُونُ ثَوَابُ صَلَاتِهِمْ لِزُوَّارِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) وَ عَلَى قَاتِلِهِ لَعْنَةُ اللّهِ وَ الْمَلائِكَةِ وَ النّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ أَبَدَ الْآبِدِينَ

1. Ḥasan ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā narrated to me from his father, from Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb, from Abil Maghrā, from ‘Anbasah, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: Allāh has dedicated seventy thousand angels to the grave of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) who worship Allah next to him. Each of their prayers is equal to one thousand prayers of a human being, and the reward for their prayers is registered for those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) – may Allāh’s curse, the curse of the angels, and the curse of all of the people be upon those who killed him for all eternity.

2 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِقَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ- شُعْثاً غُبْراً يَبْكُونَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ يُصَلُّونَ عِنْدَهُ الصَّلَاةُ الْوَاحِدَةُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ أَحَدِهِمْ- تَعْدِلُ أَلْفَ صَلَاةٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْآدَمِيِّينَ يَكُونُ ثَوَابُ صَلَاتِهِمْ وَ أَجْرُ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ زَارَ قَبْرَهُ ع

2. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from his father, from Sayf ibn ‘Amīrah, from Bakr ibn Muḥammad Al-Azdi, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Allāh, the Exalted, has dedicated seventy thousand angels to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.). They are disheveled and covered with dust. They cry over Ḥusain (a.s.) and establish prayers next to his grave (and will continue to do so) until the Day of Judgment. Each of their prayers is equal to one thousand prayers of a human being, and the reward for their prayers is registered for those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.).

1 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَتِّيلٍ وَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ وَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أَيُّوبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْخَزَّازُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ مُرُوا شِيعَتَنَا بِزِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَإِنَّ إِتْيَانَهُ مُفْتَرَضٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ- يُقِرُّ لِلْحُسَيْنِ (ع) بِالْإِمَامَةِ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

1. My father and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan both narrated to me from Ḥasan ibn Mattīl, and from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Aḥmad ibn Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Barqi, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl, from Abī Ayyūb Ibrāhīm ibn ‘Uthmān Al-Kazzāz, from Muḥammad ibn Muslim, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) said: Order our Shia to go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.). Verily going to his Ziyārah is obligatory on every believer who testifies that Ḥusain (a.s.) is an Imam appointed by Allāh, the Great and Almighty.

2 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ أَخِي وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الرِّضَا (ع) يَقُولُ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ إِمَامٍ عَهْداً فِي عُنُقِ أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَ شِيعَتِهِ وَ إِنَّ مِنْ تَمَامِ الْوَفَاءِ بِالْعَهْدِ وَ حُسْنِ الْأَدَاءِ زِيَارَةَ قُبُورِهِمْ فَمَنْ زَارَهُمْ رَغْبَةً فِي زِيَارَتِهِمْ وَ تَصْدِيقاً لِمَا رَغِبُوا فِيهِ كَانَ أَئِمَّتُهُمْ شُفَعَاءَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْكُلَيْنِيُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ سَوَاءً

2. My father, my brother, ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain, and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan all narrated to me from Aḥmad ibn Idrīs, from ‘Ubaydillāh ibn Mūsā, from Al-Washā, who said: I heard Imam Riďā (a.s.) say: There is a binding contract on every Shia and follower toward his Imam and the most perfect and beautiful way to fulfill this contract is to go to the Ziyārah of the grave of that Imam. On the Day of Judgment, the Imams (a.s.) will intercede for those who go to their Ziyārah while longing for it and believing in that which they have been ordered to believe. The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: Muḥammad ibn Ya’qūb Al-Kulayni, from Aḥmad ibn Idrīs, from ‘Ubaydillāh ibn Mūsā, from Al-Washā, from Imam Riďā (a.s.).

3 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ الْمُسْتَرِقِّ عَنْ أُمِّ سَعِيدٍ الْأَحْمَسِيَّةِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَتْ قَالَ لِي يَا أُمَّ سَعِيدٍ تَزُورِينَ قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لِي زُورِيهِ فَإِنَّ زِيَارَةَ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَاجِبَةٌ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ وَ النِّسَاءِ

3. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Abī Dāwūd Al-Mustariq, from Um Sa’īd Al-Aḥmasiyyah, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) asked me, “O Um Sa’īd! Do you go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)?” I replied, “Yes.” Imam (a.s.) said, “Go to his Ziyārah, for verily going to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) is WĀJIB (mandatory) on both men and women.”

4 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَتِّيلٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْكُوفِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ الْهَاشِمِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ حَجَّ دَهْرَهُ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزُرِ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ (ع) لَكَانَ تَارِكاً حَقّاً مِنْ حُقُوقِ اللَّهِ وَ حُقُوقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) لِأَنَّ حَقَّ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَرِيضَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَاجِبَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ

4. My father and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan both narrated to me from Ḥasan ibn Mattīl, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali Al-Kūfi, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥassān Al-Hāshimi, from ‘Abdil Raḥmān ibn Kuthayr – the servant of Abī Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)), who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Even if you go to Hajj every year of your life but do not go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.), you have abandoned one of your obligations toward Allāh and His Messenger (s.a.a.w.). Verily Allāh has made it mandatory (on the believers to fulfill) the right(s) of Ḥusain (a.s.), and this (Ziyārah) is obligatory on every Muslim.
