The Angels’ Pray for Those Who Go to the Ziyārah of Ĥusain — Hadith 1

1. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz Al-Kūfi narrated to me from his uncle Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Mūsā ibn Sa’dān, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Qāsim, from ‘Umar ibn Abān Al-Kalbi, from Abān ibn Taghlib, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a. s. )) said: There are four thousand angels by the grave of Ḥusain (a. s. ) who are disheveled and covered with dust. They cry over him (and will continue to do so) until the Day of Judgment. Their chief is an angel named Mansūr. These angels receive everyone who comes to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a. s. ) and they accompany them when they bid farewell to Ḥusain (a. s. ). They visit them if they become ill and they establish prayers on them at their funerals when they die and seek forgiveness for them after their death.
