The Behavior Expected of Those Who Go to the Ziyārah of Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali عليه السلام

3. My father, my brother, ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain, and others all narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Abī Khalaf, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā Al-Ash’ari, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥakam, from some of our companions, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) said: When you want to go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain عليه السلام, go to his Ziyārah while you are saddened, anguished, grief-stricken, disheveled, covered with dust, hungry, and thirsty, for verily Ḥusain عليه السلام was killed while he was saddened, anguished, disheveled, covered with dust, hungry, and thirsty. (After you perform your Ziyārah), ask him for your needs and then leave. Do not settle in Karbalā.
