Reward of Ziyarat of Imam Husain عليه السلام

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ رِبْعِیِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع بِالْمَدِینَهِ أَیْنَ قُبُورُ الشُّهَدَاءِ قَالَ أَ لَیْسَ أَفْضَلُ الشُّهَدَاءِ عِنْدَکَ الْحُسَیْنَ ع وَ الَّذِی نَفْسِی بِیَدِهِ إِنَّ حَوْلَ قَبْرِهِ أَرْبَعَهَ آلَافِ مَلَکٍ شُعْثٍ غُبْرٍ یَبْکُونَهُ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ.
49. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from al-Abbas b. Ma’ruf from Hamad b. Isa from Rib’i b. Abdillah who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام in Medina, “Where is the grave of the martyrs?” Imam عليه السلام asked, “Isn’t Imam Husain عليه السلام excellent among the martyrs according to you? I swear by Him in Whose hands is my life, four thousand angels surround the grave of Imam عليه السلام having their hair soiled and crying till the Day of Judgment.”
