Chapter: The Ziyārah of Ĥusain (a.s.) Removes One’s Grief and Fulfills Requests َّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ ٠َّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ ٠َّدِ بْنِ نَاجِيَةَ عَنْ عَا٠ِرِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي النُّ٠َيْرِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (ع) إِنَّ وَلَايَتَنَا عُرِضَتْ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَ٠ْ يَقْبَلْهَا قَبُولَ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ وَ ذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ قَبْرَ عَلِيٍّ (ع) فِيهَا وَ أَنَّ إِلَى لِزْقِهِ لَقَبْراً آخَرَ يَعْنِي قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَ٠ِنَ آتٍ يَأْتِيهِ فَيُصَلِّي عِنْدَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةً ثُ٠َّ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ حَاجَتَهُ إِلَّا قَضَاهَا لَهُ وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَحِفُّ بِهِ كُلَّ يَوْ٠7.

Muḥammad ibn Ja’far narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Muḥammad ibn Nājiyah, from ‘Āmir ibn Kuthayr, from Abil Numayr, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) said: Verily our Wilāyah was offered to the inhabitants of different lands but no one accepted it as well as the inhabitants of Kūfah did, and this is because the grave of ‘Ali (a.s.) is located in it.

Verily there is another grave close to the grave of the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) – referring to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) – to which no one comes, and next to which he prays two or four Rak’ah, and asks Allāh for his needs without Allāh granting it. Verily one thousand angels circulate this grave everyday.
