On the Reward of Visiting the Shrine of Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha عليه السلام

33- حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّد بن إِبراهِيم بن إسحاق الطالقاني رَضِىَ اللهُعَنْهُ قالَ حَدَّثَنا أَحمَد بن مُحَمَّد بن سعيد الهمداني مولى بني هاشِمٍ قالَ حَدَّثَنا عَلِيٍّ بن الحَسَن بن فضال عَن أبِيهِ قالَ سَمِعتُ أبا الحَسَن عَلِيٍّ بن مُوسَى الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ يَقُولُ: إِنِّي مَقْتُولٌ وَمَسْمُومٌ وَمَدْفُونٌ بِأَرْضِ غُرْبَةٍ.أَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ بِعَهْدٍ عَهِدَهُ إِلَيَّ أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ أَلا فَمَنْ زَارَنِي فِي غُرْبَتِي كُنْتُ أَنَا وَآبَائِي شُفَعَاءَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ كُنَّا شُفَعَاءَهُ نَجَا وَلَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ وِزْرِ الثَّقَلَيْنِ.
66-33 Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Taleqani - may God be pleased with him -narrated that Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Sa’eed al-Hamadani - a chief of the Hashemite tribe narrated that Ali ibn Al-Hassan ibn Fadhdhal quoted on the authority of his father that he had heard (the 8th Imam) Abal Hassan Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام say, “I will be killed by being poisoned and I will be buried in a strange land.This has been promised to me by my father, from his father, from his father, from his forefathers, from Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام, and from God’s Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. Indeed, if anyone visits me in my loneliness, then my forefathers and I will intercede on his behalf on the Resurrection Day. Whoever we intercede for is saved, even if he has the burden of the sins of the jinn and the people.”
