 وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ کَثِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی نُمَیْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّ وَلَایَتَنَا عُرِضَتْ عَلَی أَهْلِ الْأَمْصَارِ فَلَمْ یَقْبَلْهَا قَبُولَ أَهْلِ الْکُوفَهِ بِشَیْ ءٍ وَ ذَلِکَ أَنَّ قَبْرَ عَلِیٍّ ع فِیهِ وَ أَنَّ لِیَ الزُّلْفَهَ لِقَبْرٍ آخَرَ یَعْنِی قَبْرَ الْحُسَیْنِ وَ مَا مِنْ آتٍ أَتَاهُ یُصَلِّی عِنْدَهُ رَکْعَتَیْنِ أَوْ أَرْبَعاً ثُمَّ یَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ حَاجَتَهُ إِلَّا قَضَاهَا لَهُ وَ إِنَّهُ لَتَحُفُّهُ کُلَّ یَوْمٍ أَلْفُ مَلَکٍ.
20.  Imam Muhammad Baqir  says, “Our Wilayat was presented  to  the  people  of  various  cities  but  no  one accepted us like the people of Kufa. This is so because the holy grave of Ali Ibne Abi Talib  is over there and there is one more grave near him i.e. the grave of Imam Husain . One who comes for the Ziyarat, offers a two-four rakat Salaat  near  the  grave  and  seeks  desires  from  Allah  his desires would be fulfilled immediately. Surely one thousand angels surround the grave daily.”
