The Ziyārah of Ĥusain Removes One’s Grief and Fulfills Requests — Hadith 8

8. Abul ‘Abbās Al-Kūfi narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Safwān, from Walīd ibn Ḥassān, from Ibn Abī Ya’fūr, who said: I said to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a. s. )), “My yearning for seeing you has made me endure the difficulties of traveling to you. ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “Do not complain (about this) to your Lord! Why do you not go to the one to whom you have more obligation than you have to me? ! ” Hearing that there was someone to whom I have more obligation than I have toward him was more difficult for me to handle than hearing him say, “Do not complain (about this) to your Lord. ” So I asked, “Toward whom do I have more obligation than I have toward you? ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a. s. ). Why do you not go to Ḥusain (a. s. ) and invoke Allāh next to his grave and complain to Allāh about your needs? ! ”
