Reward of Ziyarat of Imam Husain عليه السلام

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ یَرْفَعُهُ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا زُرْتَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَزُرْهُ وَ أَنْتَ حَزِینٌ مَکْرُوبٌ شَعِثٌ مُغْبَرٌّ جَائِعٌ عَطْشَانُ فَإِنَّ الْحُسَیْنَ ع قُتِلَ حَزِیناً مَکْرُوباً شَعِثاً مُغْبَرّاً جَائِعاً عَطْشَاناً وَ اسْأَلْهُ الْحَوَائِجَ وَ انْصَرِفْ عَنْهُ وَ لَا تَتَّخِذْهُ وَطَناً.
21. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan رحمه الله who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Ali b. al-Hakam who raised it to Abi Abdillah عليه السلام who said: “When you go for the Ziyarat of Imam Husain عليه السلام, visit him in a state of grief, face covered with dust, hair uncombed, hungry and thirsty because when Imam Husain عليه السلام was martyred, he was aggrieved and gloomy. His hair was covered in mud; he was troubled, hungry and thirsty. Seek your desires over there and return. Do not make that place your home.”
