 حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی بِإِسْنَادٍ ذَکَرَهُ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ لَمْ یَقْدِرْ عَلَی صَلَاتِنَا فَلْیُصَلِّ صَالِحِی مَوَالِینَا وَ مَنْ لَمْ یَقْدِرْ عَلَی زِیَارَتِنَا فَلْیَزُرْ صَالِحِی مَوَالِینَا یَکْتُبِ اللَّهُ لَهُ ثَوَابَ زِیَارَتِنَا.
1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from a chain he narrated from al-Sadiq  who said: “One who cannot do good to us, should do good to our lovers and friends. He will get the reward of doing good to us. One who cannot perform our Ziyarat, should perform the Ziyarat of our virtuous lovers and friends. He will get the reward of performing our Ziyarat.”
