14 وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ بِقَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ [مَلَكٍ ملكا شُعْثاً غُبْراً يَبْكُونَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ يُصَلُّونَ عِنْدَهُ الصَّلَاةُ الْوَاحِدَةُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِمْ [مِنْ صَلَاةِ أَحَدِهِمْ] تَعْدِلُ أَلْفَ صَلَاةٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْآدَمِيِّينَ يَكُونُ ثَوَابُ صَلَاتِهِمْ وَ أَجْرُ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ زَارَ قَبْرَهُ
14. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from his father, from Sayf ibn ‘Amīrah, from Bakr ibn Muḥammad, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) said: Allāh has dedicated seventy thousand angels to the grave of Ḥusain عليه السلام. They are disheveled and covered with dust. They cry over him (and will continue to do so) until the Day of Judgment. They establish Salāt by his grave and each of their Salāt is equal to one thousand Salāt of mankind, and the reward of their Salāt will be registered for those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain عليه السلام.
