However...

However, in several other Ahadith, Masomeen -asws have encouraged and have promised Heavenly rewards for those who recite verses related to Ahl Al-Bayt -asws , see for example: قد روي أنه دخل على أبي عبدالله الصادق عليه السّلام في أيام التشريق، فقال له الكميت: جُعلت فداك، ألا أنشدك، قال: إنها أيام عظام، قال: إنها فيكم.

فقال: هات، وبعث أبو عبدالله إلى بعض أهله فقرب، وأنشد فكثر البكاء حينما وصل إلى هذا البيت: It has been reported that he went over to Abu Abdullah Al-Sadiq -asws during the days of Al-Tashreeq (11 th , 12, & 13 th Zilhijja). So Al-Kumeyt said to him -asws , ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws ! Shall I recite a poem to you -asws ?’ He -asws said: ‘These are the great days’ (of great reverence). He said, ‘It is regarding you -asws ’.

So he -asws said: ‘Recite!’, and Abu Abdullah -asws sent for some of his -asws family members, so they came closer, and he recited the poem, so they -asws all wept a lot where he arrived to this couplet – يصيبُ به الرامون عن قوس غيرهم فيا آخـراً أسـدى لـه الغـي أوّلُ The archers hit from the bows of others, so the later ones got to it by the misguidance of the first ones!!

فرفع أبو عبدالله عليه السّلام يديه وقال: اللهم اغفر للكميت ما قدّم وأخر، وما أسرّ وأعلن وقد دخل قبل ذلك على الإمام أبي جعفر محمد الباقر عليه السّلام فأنشده So Abu Abdullah -asws raised his -asws hands and said: ‘O Allah -azwj ! Forgive for Kumeyt’s (sins) the ones he committed, and the ones he will commit, the ones he hid, and the ones’ he revealed! And he had gone before that to the Imam Abu Ja’far Mohammad Al-Baqir -asws , so he had recited a poem to him -asws .

[10] Imam Abu Ja`fer al-Baqir -asws said the following to al-Kumeyt when the latter recited for him -asws his poem which starts with “Who shall solace a heart suffering from overflowing passion?”: “May you always be supported by the Holy Spirit.” [11] .
