١١ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ غَيْرُهُمَا عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِيَارَةُ الرِّضَا أَفْضَلُ أَمْ زِيَارَةُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) قَالَ زِيَارَةُ أَبِي أَفْضَلُ- وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) يَزُورُهُ كُلُّ النَّاسِ وَ أَبِي لَا يَزُورُهُ إِلَّا الْخَوَاصُّ مِنَ الشِّيعَةِ
11. Muĥammad ibn Ya’qūb, ‘Ali ibn Ĥusain, and others narrated to me from ‘Ali ibn Ibrāhǐm, from his father, from ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār, who said: I asked Abā Ja’far (Imam Jawād ), “May I sacrifice myself for you! Is (going to) the Ziyārah of Imam Riďā  better or (going to) the Ziyārah of Abǐ ‘Abdillāh, Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali ?” Imam  replied, “(Going to) the Ziyārah of my father  is better. The reason is that everyone goes to the Ziyārah of Abǐ ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ĥusain ) but only the chosen ones from among the Shia go to the Ziyārah of my father .”
