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

15 وَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) كَيْفَ نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْقُبُورِ قَالَ نَعَمْ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدِّيَارِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ الْمُسْلِمَاتِ أَنْتُمْ لَنَا فَرَطٌ وَ إِنَّا بِكُمْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَاحِقُونَ
15. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from his father, from Aḥmad ibn Abī ‘Abdillāh Muḥammad Al-Barqi, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali Al-Washā, from ‘Ali ibn Abī Ḥamzah, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام), “How should we say Salām to the people of the graves?” Imam عليه السلام replied: Recite (the following): Salām upon the people of the graves from among the men and women of the believers and the Muslims. You have preceded us and we shall join you In-Shā`allāh.
