What do you think?” Then Abi Ja’far (a.s.) told him, “Wait a little and stay here until I come back.” Then the Imam (a.s.) went inside the house and came back with eyes filled with tears and said, “There are many people who visit the shrine of Abi Abdullah Imam Al-Husayn (a.s.). However, there are only a few who visit the shrine of my father (a.s.) in Toos.”
