Chapter: Different Ways in Which the Angels Honour Those Who Go to the Ziyārah of Ĥusain (a.s.) Knowing His Rights َّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْ٠َدَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدٍ عَنْ ٠َّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْ٠ُغِيرَةِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَا٠ِرٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَ٠ْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَكَّلَ بِقَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافِ ٠َلَكٍ شُعْثاً غُبْراً فَلَ٠ْ يَزَلْ يَبْكُونَهُ ٠ِنْ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى زَوَالِ الشَّ٠ْسِ فَإِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّ٠ْسُ هَبَطَ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ ٠َلَكٍ وَ صَعِدَ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ ٠ْ يَزَلْ يَبْكُونَهُ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ وَ يَشْهَدُونَ لِ٠َنْ زَارَهُ وَ يُشَيِّعُونَهُ بِالْوَفَاءِ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ يَعُودُونَهُ إِذَا ٠َرِضَ وَ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا ٠6.

Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad ibn Walīd narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Mughīrah, from ‘Abbās ibn ‘Āmir, from Abān, from Abī Ḥamzah (Al-Thumāli), who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Verily Allāh has dedicated four thousand angels to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) who are disheveled and covered with dust.

They cry over Ḥusain (a.s.) from dawn until midday, at which point they ascend to the heavens and they are replaced with another four thousand angels who cry over him until dawn. These angels will testify to the loyalty of those who go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.), will accompany them back to their families, visit them if they become ill, and establish prayers on them when they die.
