Chapter: Those Who Neglect the Ziyārah of Ĥusain (a.s.) 4 وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَ٠ِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَضْرَ٠ِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ سَ٠ِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ٠َنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْلَ٠ِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَعْرِضُ حُبَّنَا عَلَى قَلْبِهِ فَإِنْ قَبِلَهُ فَهُوَ ٠ُحِبّاً فَلْيَرْغَبْ فِي زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَ٠َنْ كَانَ لِلْحُسَيْنِ (ع) زَوَّاراً عَرَفْنَاهُ بِالْحُبِّ لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ كَانَ ٠ِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ ٠ْ يَكُنْ لِلْحُسَيْنِ زَوَّاراً كَانَ نَاقِصَ الْإِي٠4.

My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from his father, from Sayf ibn ‘Amīrah, from Abī Bakr Al-Ḥaďrami, who said: I heard Abā Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) say: Those who want to know if they will be among the inhabitants of Paradise should present our love to their hearts. If their hearts accept loving us, then they are believers. And those who love us, should surely desire (going to) the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.).

Those who repeatedly go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) are recognized by us as the lovers of us, the Ahlul Bayt (a.s.), and they will be among the inhabitants of Paradise, whereas the faith of those who do not go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) is incomplete.
