The Minimum Number of Times One Should Go to the Ziyārah of Ĥusain عليه السلام and the Longest Time Allowed to Delay the Ziyārah for the Wealthy and Poor

7 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (ع) قَالَ لَا تَجْفُوهُ يَأْتِيهِ الْمُوسِرُ فِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ وَ الْمُعْسِرُ لا يُكَلِّفُ اللّهُ نَفْساً إِلّا وُسْعَها قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ هَذَا لِعَلِيٍّ أَوْ لِأَبِي نَابٍ
7. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Mughīrah, from ‘Abbās ibn ‘Āmir, from ‘Ali ibn Abī Ḥamzah, who said: Abul Ḥasan (Imam Kāżim عليه السلام) said: Do not be negligent toward him (Ḥusain عليه السلام). Those who are wealthy should go to him once every four months and as for the insolvents, “Allāh does not impose on any soul a duty but to the extent of its ability” (2:286). ‘Abbās (ibn ‘Āmir) added: I do not remember if the Imam عليه السلام said this statement to ‘Ali (ibn Abī Ḥamzah) or to Abī Nāb.
