Chapter on the Travel in Which Preparing Provisions is Disliked
وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ قَوْماً إِذَا زَارُوا اَلْحُسَيْنَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ حَمَلُوا مَعَهُمُ اَلسُّفْرَةَ فِيهَا اَلْجِدَاءُ وَ اَلْأَخْبِصَةُ وَ أَشْبَاهُهُ لَوْ زَارُوا قُبُورَ أَحِبَّائِهِمْ مَا حَمَلُوا مَعَهُمْ هَذَا».
In another narration, Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "It has reached me that some people, when they visit the grave of Al-Husayn عليه السلام, bring with them provisions such as roasted kids (young goats), sweet dishes, and the like. If they were to visit the graves of their loved ones, they would not bring such things with them."
