How Those Who Live Far (from the Grave of Ĥusain ) Should Perform His Ziyārah — Hadith 2

2. ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain and (my brother) ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad ibn Qūlawayh both narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā Al-‘Aťťār, from Ḥamdān ibn Sulaymān Al-Naysābūri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Muḥammad Al-Yamāni, from Manī’ ibn Ḥajjāj, from Yūnus ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān, from Ḥanān ibn Sadīr, from his father, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a. s. )) said to me – as part of a longer Ḥadīth: O Sadīr! How difficult is it for you to perform the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a. s. ) 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 (a. s. ) 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 Ḥusain (a. s. ) 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. Sadīr added, “(After hearing this) there were times when I would perform this (Ziyārah) twenty times during the day. ”
