The Merits of the Ziyārah of the Believers and How it Should be Performed
8 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَتِّيلٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (ع) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ الْمُؤْمِنُ يَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ يَزُورُ قَبْرَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ لَا يَزَالُ مُسْتَأْنِساً بِهِ مَا زَالَ عِنْدَهُ فَإِذَا قَامَ وَ انْصَرَفَ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ دَخَلَهُ مِنِ انْصِرَافِهِ عَنْ قَبْرِهِ وَحْشَةٌ
8. My father and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan both narrated to me from Ḥasan ibn Mattīl, from Sahl ibn Ziyād, from Muḥammad ibn Sinān, from Isḥāq ibn ‘Ammār, who said: I asked Abal Ḥasan (Imam Kāżim عليه السلام), “Do the believers know who visits their graves?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “Yes, and they enjoy the company of their visitors as long as they are next to them but as soon as they leave the grave, they (the believers in the grave) will feel a sudden loneliness.”
