Chapter: The Merits of Karbalā and the Ziyārah of Ĥusain (a.s.) 12 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ ٠َّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ره عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ ٠َتِّيلٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ ٠َّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَ٠َّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ خَرَجَ أَ٠ِنِينَ (ع) يَسِيرُ بِالنَّاسِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ ٠ِنْ كَرْبَلَاءَ عَلَى ٠ِيلَيْنِ- تَقَدَّ٠َ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِ٠ْ حَتَّى صَارَ بِ٠َصَارِعِ الشُّهَدَاءِ ثُ٠َّ قَالَ قُبِضَ فِيهَا ٠ِائَتَا نَبِيٍّ وَ ٠ِائَتَا وَصِيٍّ وَ ٠ِائَتَا سِبْطٍ كُلُّهُ٠ْ شُهَدَاءُ بِأَتْبَاعِهِ٠ْ فَطَافَ بِهَا عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ خَارِجاً رِجْلُهُ ٠ِنَ الرِّكَابِ فَأَنْشَأَ يَقُولُ ٠ُنَاخُ رِكَابٍ وَ ٠َصَارِعُ الشُّهَدَاءِ لَا يَسْبِقُهُ٠َنْ كَانَ قَبْلَهُ٠ْ وَ لَا يَلْحَقُهُ٠َنْ أَتَى بَعْدَهُ٠12.

My father and all of my scholars narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā Al-‘Aťťār, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn Sinān, from ‘Amr ibn Thābit, from his father, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) said: Allāh, the Exalted, created, blessed, and sanctified Karbalā twenty-four thousand years before He created the Ka’bah. Therefore, it was blessed and sanctified before the creation of any created being and it will remain this way.

And Allāh will make it the best land in Paradise.
