أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْهَیْثَمِ بْنِ أَبِی مَسْرُوقٍ النَّهْدِیِّ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ یَرْفَعُهُ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ یَبْدَأُ بِالنَّظَرِ إِلَی زُوَّارِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ ع عَشِیَّهَ عَرَفَهَ قَالَ قُلْتُ قَبْلَ نَظَرِهِ إِلَی أَهْلِ الْمَوْقِفِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ وَ کَیْفَ ذَاکَ قَالَ لِأَنَّ فِی أُولَئِکَ أَوْلَادَ زِنًی وَ لَیْسَ فِی هَؤُلَاءِ أَوْلَادُ الزِّنَا.
27. My father رحمه الله said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from al-Haytham b. Abi Masruq al-Hindi from Ali b. Asbat who raised it to Abi Abdillah عليه السلام who said: “The Almighty Allah looks at the visitors of the grave of Imam Husain عليه السلام on the day of Arafah before Asr.” He asked, “Does He look at them before He even looks at the people gathered in Arafah?” “Yes,” replied Imam عليه السلام. He asked, “Why?” Imam عليه السلام explained, “Among the latter (Arafah) may be some born out of wedlock but in the former (Kerbala) there won’t be any illegitimate born.”
