أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ بَزِیعٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ أَبِی سَعِیدٍ الْمَدَائِنِیِّ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاکَ آتِی قَبْرَ الْحُسَیْنِ ع قَالَ نَعَمْ یَا أَبَا سَعِیدٍ ائْتِ قَبْرَ ابْنِ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَطْیَبِ الطَّیِّبِینَ وَ أَطْهَرِ الطَّاهِرِینَ وَ أَبَرِّ الْأَبْرَارِ وَ إِذَا زُرْتَهُ کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَکَ بِهِ خَمْساً وَ عِشْرِینَ حِجَّهً.
35. My father رحمه الله said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. al-Hassan from Muhammad b. Ismail b. Bazee’ from Salih b. ’Uqba from Abi Sa’eed al-Madaini who said: Abu Saeed Madaini visited Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام and asked him, “May I be sacrificed for you, should I go for Ziyarat of Imam Husain عليه السلام?” He replied, “Yes, O Abu Saeed! Go for Ziyarat of the son of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم for he was most virtuous among virtuous men, purest among pure and best among the doers of good deeds. If you do his Ziyarat, Allah would grant you the reward of twenty-five Hajjs.”
