The Ziyārah of Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali عليه السلام by the Angels

4 حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ قَبْرُ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً فِي عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً مُكَسَّراً رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْهُ مِعْرَاجٌ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَلَيْسَ مِنْ مَلَكٍ مُقَرَّبٍ وَ لَا نَبِيٍّ مُرْسَلٍ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَزُورَ الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) فَفَوْجٌ يَهْبِطُ وَ فَوْجٌ يَصْعَدُ
4. Qāsim ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali ibn Ibrāhīm narrated to me from his father, from his grandfather, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ḥammād Al-Ansāri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Sinān, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) say: The boundaries of the grave (the Ḥaram) of Ḥusain عليه السلام are twenty ells by twenty ells and this location is a garden from the gardens of Paradise. The ascent toward the heavens begins from here. Every high-ranked angel and prophet, who was chosen as a messenger, asks Allāh, the Exalted, (at all times) for permission to go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain عليه السلام. (There is always) a crowd descending (from the heavens to go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain عليه السلام) and a crowd ascending (back).
