Neglecting the Ziyārah of the Grave of Ĥusain عليه السلام

4 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ أَخِي وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ حَمْدَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ النَّيْسَابُورِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْيَمَانِيِّ عَنْ مَنِيعِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) يَا سَدِيرُ تَزُورُ قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ- قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ مَا أَجْفَاكُمْ قَالَ أَ تَزُورُهُ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَتَزُورُهُ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَتَزُورُهُ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ قُلْتُ قَدْ يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ يَا سَدِيرُ مَا أَجْفَاكُمْ بِالْحُسَيْنِ (ع) أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ لِلَّهِ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ شُعْثاً غُبْراً يَبْكُونَهُ وَ يَرِثُونَهُ لَا يَفْتُرُونَ زُوَّاراً لِقَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ ثَوَابُهُمْ لِمَنْ زَارَهُ وَ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
4. My father, my brother, ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain, and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan all narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā Al-‘Aťťār, from Ḥamdān ibn Sulaymān Al-Naysābūri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Muḥammad Al-Yamāni, from Manī’ ibn Ḥajjāj, from Yūnus ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān, from Ḥanān ibn Sadīr, from his father Sadīr, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) asked me, “O Sadīr! Do you perform the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain عليه السلام everyday?” I replied, “No.” Imam عليه السلام said, “How negligent you people are!!! Do you perform his Ziyārah every week?” I replied, “No.” Imam عليه السلام asked, “Do you perform his Ziyārah every month?” I replied, “No.” Imam عليه السلام asked, “Do you perform his Ziyārah once a year?” I replied, “Sometimes.” Imam عليه السلام said: O Sadīr! How negligent you people are toward Ḥusain عليه السلام!!! Do you not know that Allāh has one thousand angels who are disheveled and covered with dust, who lament and cry over Ḥusain عليه السلام, and who perform the Ziyārah of his grave (at all times) without pause?! Verily the reward of their deeds is registered for those who go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain عليه السلام.
