The Merits of the Ziyārah of the Believers and How it Should be Performed

10. Ḥasan ibn ‘Abdillāh narrated to me from his father, from Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb, from ‘Amr ibn Abil Miqdām, from his father, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir عليه السلام) and I passed by Baqī’ and we walked by the grave of a man from among the Shia of Kūfah. I said to Abī Ja’far (Imam Bāqir عليه السلام), “May I sacrifice myself for you! This is the grave of one of the Shia.” Imam عليه السلام stopped next to the grave and said: O Allāh! Have mercy on his isolation; connect with him in his loneliness; keep him company in his desolation; make him feel safe in his (time of) fear; descend Your Mercy on him in a way that he will not need the mercy of others; and join him with those whom he loved.
