وَقَالَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ اَلْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا أَتَاهُ اَلزَّائِرُ آنَسَ بِهِ فَإِذَا اِنْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ اِسْتَوْحَشَ فَقَالَ «لاَ يَسْتَوْحِشُ.
Safwan ibn Yahya said to Abu Al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim عليه السلام: "I have heard that when a believer is visited by someone (at their grave), they are comforted by their presence, but when the visitor leaves, they feel lonely." Imam عليه السلام replied: "They do not feel lonely."
