7. Muĥammad ibn Aĥmad ibn Ĥusain Al-‘Askari narrated to me from Ĥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār, from his father, from Muĥammad ibn Sinān, from Muĥammad ibn Ismā’ǐl, from Šāliĥ ibn ‘Uqbah, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ) said: If one recites one verse of a poem about Ĥusain  and cries and makes ten people cry, he and those (who cry) will be rewarded with Paradise. If one recites one verse of a poem about Ĥusain  and cries and makes nine people cry, he and those (who cry) will be rewarded with Paradise… Imam  kept reducing from the number and repeating the same reward until he said: Whoever recites one verse of a poem about Ĥusain  and cries (or even tries to cry) will be rewarded with Paradise.
