6 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ جَمِيعاً عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ الْحَارِثِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أُمِّ سَعِيدٍ الْأَحْمَسِيَّةِ قَالَتْ دَخَلْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَاكْتَرَيْتُ الْبَغْلَ أَوِ الْبَغْلَةَ لِأَزُورَ عَلَيْهِ قُبُورَ الشُّهَدَاءِ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ مَا أَحَدٌ أَحَقَّ أَنْ أَبْدَأَ بِهِ مِنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ (ع) قَالَتْ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَبْطَأْتُ فَصَاحَ بِيَ الْمُكَارِي حَبَسْتِينَا عَافَاكِ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كَأَنَّ إِنْسَاناً يَسْتَعْجِلُكِ يَا أُمَّ سَعِيدٍ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي اكْتَرَيْتُ بَغْلًا لِأَزُورَ عَلَيْهِ قُبُورَ الشُّهَدَاءِ فَقُلْتُ مَا آتِي أَحَداً أَحَقَّ مِنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ (ع) قَالَتْ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ سَعِيدٍ فَمَا يَمْنَعُكِ مِنْ أَنْ تَأْتِي قَبْرَ سَيِّدِ الشُّهَدَاءِ قَالَتْ فَطَمِعْتُ أَنْ يَدُلَّنِي عَلَى قَبْرِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (ع) فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي وَ مَنْ سَيِّدُ الشُّهَدَاءِ- قَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ فَاطِمَةَ (ع) يَا أُمَّ سَعِيدٍ مَنْ أَتَاهُ بِبَصِيرَةٍ وَ رَغْبَةٍ فِيهِ كَانَ لَهُ حِجَّةً [حِجَّةً مَبْرُورَةً وَ عُمْرَةً مُتَقَبَّلَةً]- وَ عُمْرَةً مَبْرُورَةً وَ كَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ هَكَذَا وَ هَكَذَا
6. My father and Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari both narrated to me from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari, from Aḥmad ibn Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Barqi, from his father, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Qāsim Al-Ḥārithi, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Sinān, from Um Sa’īd Al-Aḥmasiyyah, who said: I entered Madīnah and I rented a mule (and a guide) to go to the Ziyārah of the graves of the martyrs (of Uḥud). However, I thought to myself that no one is more worthy of being visited first than Ja’far ibn Muḥammad (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)). Therefore, I went and saw the Imam (a.s.) and I delayed (the guide a little). The guide raised his voice and said, “May Allāh keep you well! You are delaying me!” (When the Imam (a.s.) heard him) he said to me, “O Um Sa’īd! It looks like someone (is waiting for you and) wants you to hurry.” I replied, “May I sacrifice myself for you! I have rented a mule to go to the Ziyārah of the graves of the martyrs (of Uḥud) but I thought to myself that no one is more worthy of being visited first than Ja’far ibn Muḥammad (a.s.).” Imam (a.s.) asked, “O Um Sa’īd! What prevents you from going to the Ziyārah of the Master of the Martyrs?” (When the Imam (a.s.) said this), I hoped that he would reveal the location of the grave of ‘Ali ibn Abī Ťālib (a.s.) for me so I asked, “May I sacrifice my father and mother for you! Who is the Master of the Martyrs?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Ḥusain, son of Fāťimah (a.s.). O Um Sa’īd! Whoever goes to him longing for him and with insight (of his status) will earn the reward of a purified Hajj and ‘Umrah and he will have this much reward.”
