5- حَدَّثَنا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ مُحَمَّد بن أَحمَد بن مُحَمَّد بن يحيىالمعاذي النيسابوري قالَ حَدَّثَنا أَبُو الحَسَن عَلِيٍّ بن أَحمَد بن عَلِيٍّ البصري المعدل قالَ رَأَى رَجُلٌ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ فِيَما يَرَى النَّائِمُ الرَّسُولَ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ مَنْ أَزُورُ مِنْ أَوْلادِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مِنْ أَوْلادِي مَنْ أَتَانِي مَسْمُوماً وَإِنَّ مِنْ أَوْلادِي مَنْ أَتَانِي مَقْتُولاً قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَمَنْ أَزُورُ مِنْهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَعَ تَشَتُّتِ أَمَاكِنِهِمْ أَوْ قَالَ مَشَاهِدِهِمْ قَالَ مَنْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ مِنْكَ يَعْنِي بِالُْمجَاوَرَةِ وَهُوَ مَدْفُونٌ بِأَرْضِ الْغُرْبَةِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَعْنِي الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ فَقَالَ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ قُلْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ [وآله] قُلْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ [وآله] قُلْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ [وآله] ثَلاثاً.
69-5 Abu Ali Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Mo’athi al-Neishaboori narrated that Abul Hassan Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Ali al-Basri al-Mo’addil said, “One of the good-doers saw the Prophet of God عليه السلام in his dream. He asked the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, ‘O Prophet of God! Which of your offspring should I go to visit?’ The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said, ‘A few of my descendants who have been poisoned have come to me. Also a few of my offspring who have been murdered have come to me.’ Then he asked the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, ‘O Prophet of God! Given the great distances between their shrines (or locations), which one of them do you recommend me to go and visit?’ The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said, ‘Visit the one who is closest to you - that is whom you are near to and is buried in the land of loneliness.’ Then he asked the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, ‘O Prophet of God! Do you mean Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام?’ God’s Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said, ‘Say: God’s Blessings be upon him. Say: God’s blessings be upon him three times.’”
