قَالَ يَا سَدِيرُ مَا أَجْفَاكُمْ لِلْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام...
قَالَ يَا سَدِيرُ مَا أَجْفَاكُمْ لِلْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَلْفَيْ أَلْفِ مَلَكٍ شُعْثٌ غُبْرٌ يَبْكُونَ وَ يَزُورُونَ لَا يَفْتُرُونَ وَ مَا عَلَيْكَ يَا سَدِيرُ أَنْ تَزُورَ قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي كُلِّ جُمْعَةٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مَرَّةً قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُ فَرَاسِخَ كَثِيرَةً He -asws said: ‘O Sadeyr! How discourteous of you towards Al-Husayn -asws .
Do you not know that Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Has two million Angels, dishevelled, dusty, crying and performing his -asws Ziyarah , not wavering. And it is not (difficult) upon you, O Sadeyr, that you should be visiting the grave of Al-Husayn -asws five times every week, and once every day’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws ! In between us and him -asws there are a lot of Farsakhs (travel distance)’.
فَقَالَ لِي اصْعَدْ فَوْقَ سَطْحِكَ ثُمَّ تَلْتَفِتُ يُمْنَةً وَ يُسْرَةً ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ رَأْسَكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ انْحُ نَحْوَ الْقَبْرِ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ تُكْتَبُ لَكَ زَوْرَةٌ وَ الزَّوْرَةُ حَجَّةٌ وَ عُمْرَةٌ So he -asws said to me: ‘Ascend above your roof, then turn towards the right and the left, then raise your head towards the sky, then face towards the grave and you should be saying: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ ‘The greetings be upon you -asws , O Abu Abdullah -asws !
The greetings be upon you -asws , and the Mercy of Allah -azwj , and His -azwj Blessings’ – there would be Written for you a Ziyarah , and the Ziyarah of the Hajj, and Umra’. قَالَ سَدِيرٌ فَرُبَّمَا فَعَلْتُ فِي الشَّهْرِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ عِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً Sadeyr said, ‘So I used to do it during the month, more than twenty times’.
[28] In another Hadith, after dictating the Ziyarah of Imam Hussain -asws to Alqama, Imam -asws Al-Sadiq -asws says: قَالَ يَا عَلْقَمَةُ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَزُورَهُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِهَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةِ مِنْ دَهْرِكَ فَافْعَلْ فَلَكَ ثَوَابُ جَمِيعِ ذَلِكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى Imam -asws said: ‘O Alqama! If you are capable of visiting him -asws during every day of your life with this Ziyarat, do so.
