١ حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمُوسَوِيُّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نَهِيكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ يَا فُلَانُ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ إِذَا عَرَضَتْ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَتُصَلِّيَ عِنْدَهُ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ تَسْأَلَ حَاجَتَكَ فَإِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ الْفَرِيضَةَ عِنْدَهُ تَعْدِلُ حِجَّةً- وَ النَّافِلَةَ تَعْدِلُ عُمْرَةً
1. Ja’far ibn Muĥammad ibn Ibrāhǐm Al-Mūsawi narrated to me from ‘Ubaydillāh ibn Nahǐk, from Ibn Abǐ ‘Umayr, from someone who said: Abu Ja’far (Imam Bāqir ) said to a man: O so-and-so! What prevents you at times of need from going to the grave of Ĥusain , praying four Rak’ah, and then asking (Allāh) for your needs?! Verily establishing an obligatory prayer next to his grave is equal to performing a Hajj and establishing a Nāfilah prayer (next to his grave) is equal to performing an ‘Umrah.
