The Reward for the Ziyārah of the Graves of Abil Ĥasan Mūsā ibn Ja’far and Muĥammad ibn ‘Ali Al-Jawād عليه السلام in Baghdad

11 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ حَمْدَانَ الْقَلَانِسِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحُضَيْنِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الثَّالِثِ (ع) أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ وَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) الْمُقَدَّمُ وَ هَذَا أَجْمَعُ وَ أَعْظَمُ أَجْراً
11. Muḥammad ibn Ya’qūb narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā, from Ḥamdān Al-Qalānisi, from ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad Al-Ḥuďayni, from ‘Ali ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Marwān, from Ibrāhīm ibn ‘Uqbah, who said: I wrote to Abil Ḥasan the Third (Imam Hādi عليه السلام) asking him about the Ziyārah of the grave of Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain عليه السلام) and about the Ziyārah of the graves of Abil Ḥasan (Imam Kāżim عليه السلام) and Abī Ja’far (Imam Jawād عليه السلام). Imam عليه السلام replied, “Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain عليه السلام) comes first but that (the Ziyārah of Imam Kāżim and Imam Jawād) is more complete and has a greater reward.”
