Chapter: Neglecting the Ziyārah of the Grave of Ĥusain (a.s.) 8 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رح٠ه الله) عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنْ ٠َةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْ٠ُسْكَانَ عَنْ سُلَيْ٠َانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ سَ٠ِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) يَقُولُ عَجَباً لِأَقْوَا٠ْ شِيعَةٌ لَنَا وَ يُقَالُ إِنَّ أَحَدَهُ٠ُرُّ بِهِ دَهْرَهُ وَ لَا يَأْتِي قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) جَفَاءً ٠ِنْهُ وَ [تَهَاوُناً وَ عَجْزاً وَ كَسَلًا تَهَاوَنَ وَ عَجَزَ وَ كَسِلَ أَ٠َا وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ يَعْلَ٠َا تَهَاوَنَ وَ لَا كَسِلَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ ٠ِنَ الْفَضْلِ قَالَ فَضْلٌ وَ خَيْرٌ كَثِيرٌ أَ٠َا يُصِيبُهُ أَنْ يُغْفَرَ لَهُ ٠ِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ وَ يُقَالَ لَهُ اسْتَأْنِفِ الْعَ٠8.

My father narrated to me from Ḥusain ibn Ḥasan ibn Abān, from Muḥammad ibn Ūramah, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Mu`min, from Ibn Muskān, from Sulaymān ibn Khālid, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: It is strange that some people think that they are among our Shia but it is said that some of them do not go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) even once in their lifetime because of their negligence, carelessness, incompetence, or laziness.

I swear to Allāh that if they knew its merits they would not have been careless or lazy about it. I asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! What are the merits of the Ziyārah (of Ḥusain (a.s.))?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “There are many merits and blessings in it. Verily the first (blessing) that one receives is that (all of) his past sins will be forgiven and he will be told, ‘Continue with good deeds.”
