The Reward for Those Who Recite a Poem about Ĥusain, Cry, and Make Others Cry — Hadith 4

4. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl, from Sāliḥ ibn ‘Uqbah, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a. s. )) said: If one recites one verse of a poem about Ḥusain (a. s. ) and cries and makes ten people cry, he and those (who cry) will be rewarded with Paradise. If one recites one verse of a poem about Ḥusain (a. s. ) and cries and makes nine people cry, he and those (who cry) will be rewarded with Paradise… Imam (a. s. ) kept reducing from the number and repeating the same reward until he said: If one recites one verse of a poem about Ḥusain (a. s. ) and cries (or even tries to cry), he will be rewarded with Paradise.
