2. ‘Ali ibn Ĥusain and (my brother) ‘Ali ibn Muĥammad ibn Qūlawayh both narrated to me from Muĥammad ibn Yaĥyā Al-‘Aťťār, from Ĥamdān ibn Sulaymān Al-Naysābūri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Muĥammad Al-Yamāni, from Manǐ’ ibn Ĥajjāj, from Yūnus ibn ‘Abdil Raĥmān, from Ĥanān ibn Sadǐr, from his father, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ) said to me – as part of a longer Ĥadǐth: O Sadǐr! How difficult is it for you to perform the Ziyārah of the grave of Ĥusain  five times every Friday and once every day?! I replied, “May I sacrifice myself for you! There is a great distance between us and his grave.” Imam  said: Ascend to the roof of your house, look to the right and left, raise your head toward the sky, and then try to face the direction of the grave of Ĥusain  and say:           Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. Salām to you and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon you. (By doing) so, a ZAWRAH will be registered for you. And Zawrah is the performance of a Hajj and an ‘Umrah. Sadǐr added, “(After hearing this) there were times when I would perform this (Ziyārah) twenty times during the day.”
