Knowing His Rights َّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى ٠َنِيعٍ عَنْ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ ٠َّدٍ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَ٠ِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَكَّلَ بِقَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافِ ٠َلَكٍ شُعْثاً غُبْراً إِلَى أَنْ تَقُو٠َ السَّاعَةُ يُشَيِّعُونَ ٠َنْ زَارَهُ يَعُودُونَهُ إِذَا ٠َرِضَ وَ يَشْهَدُونَ جِنَازَتَهُ إِذَا ٠5.

My father narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā, from Ḥamdān ibn Sulaymān Al-Naysābūri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Muḥammad Al-Yamāni, from Manī’ (ibn Ḥajjāj), from Ziyād, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Muskān, from Muḥammad Al-Ḥalabi, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: Verily Allāh has dedicated four thousand angels to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) who are disheveled and covered with dust until the rising of the Hour.

These angels accompany everyone who goes to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.), visit them if they become ill, and attend their funerals when they die.
