The Merits of the Ziyārah of the Believers and How it Should be Performed — Hadith 10

10. Ḥasan ibn ‘Abdillāh narrated to me from his father, from Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb, from ‘Amr ibn Abil Miqdām, from his father, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a. s. )) and I passed by Baqī’ and we walked by the grave of a man from among the Shia of Kūfah. I said to Abī Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a. s. )), “May I sacrifice myself for you! This is the grave of one of the Shia. ” Imam (a. s. ) stopped next to the grave and said: O Allāh! Have mercy on his isolation; connect with him in his loneliness; keep him company in his desolation; make him feel safe in his (time of) fear; descend Your Mercy on him in a way that he will not need the mercy of others; and join him with those whom he loved.
