On the Reward of Visiting the Shrine of Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha عليه السلام
8- و بهذا الإسناد عَن عَبد العَظيم بن عَبدُ اللَّه قالَ: قُلتُ لأبيجَعفَر عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قد تحيرت بين زيارة قبر أبي عَبدُ اللَّه عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ و بين زيارة قبر أبيك عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ بِطُوس فَمَا تَرَى فَقَالَ لِي مَكَانَك ثُمَّ دَخَلَ وَخَرَجَ وَدُمُوعُهُ تَسيِلُ عَلَى خَدَّيهِ فَقَالَ زُوّارُ قَبرِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ كَثِيرُون و زُوّارُ قَبرِ أَبِي عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ بِطُوس قَلِيلُون
66-8 There is another tradition through the same chain of documentation in which Abdul Adheem ibn Abdullah has said that he asked Abi Ja’far (al-Jawad) عليه السلام, “I wonder whether I should go on a pilgrimage to the shrine of Abi Abdullah (Imam Husayn) عليه السلام or go on a pilgrimage to the shrine of your father عليه السلام in Toos. What do you think?” Then Abi Ja’far عليه السلام told him, “Wait a little and stay here until I come back.” Then the Imam عليه السلام went inside the house and came back with eyes filled with tears and said, “There are many people who visit the shrine of Abi Abdullah Imam Al-Husayn عليه السلام. However, there are only a few who visit the shrine of my father عليه السلام in Toos.”
