٨ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنِ السُّحْتِ الْخَزَّازِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ الْمُزَنِيُّ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ بَيَاضٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ قَالَ لِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ يَا أَبَانُ مَتَى عَهْدُكَ بِقَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) قُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَا لِي بِهِ عَهْدٌ مُنْذُ حِينٍ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ أَنْتَ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ الشِّيعَةِ تَتْرُكُ زِيَارَةَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) لَا تَزُورُهُ- مَنْ زَارَ الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ حَسَنَةً وَ مَحَا عَنْهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ سَيِّئَةً وَ غَفَرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ يَا أَبَانُ لَقَدْ قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ (ع) فَهَبَطَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ شُعْثٌ غُبْرٌ يَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهِ وَ يَنُوحُونَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
8. My father and Muĥammad ibn Ĥasan both narrated to me from Ĥusain ibn Sa’ǐd, from ‘Ali ibn Saĥt Al-Khazzāz, from Ĥafs Al-Muzani, from ‘Umar ibn Bayāď, from Abān ibn Taghlib, who said: Ja’far ibn Muĥammad (Imam Šādiq ) asked me, “O Abān! When was the last time you went to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ĥusain ?” I replied, “No. I swear to Allāh (that I have not gone recently), O son of the Messenger of Allāh! It has been a long time since I went to his Ziyārah.” Imam  said: Glory be to Allāh, the Great! You are one of the chiefs of the Shia and you neglect the Ziyārah of Ĥusain  and do not go to him?!!! Allāh will register one good deed and erase one bad deed for those who go to the Ziyārah of Ĥusain  with every step that they take and He will forgive all of their past and future sins. O Abān! When Ĥusain  was killed, seventy thousand angels descended to his grave. They are disheveled and covered with dust and they continuously cry and lament over him until the Day of Judgment.
