2 حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ حَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ أَبِي عُمَارَةَ الْمُنْشِدِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ قَالَ لِي يَا بَا عُمَارَةَ أَنْشِدْنِي فِي الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) قَالَ فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ فَبَكَى ثُمَّ أَنْشَدْتُهُ فَبَكَى ثُمَّ أَنْشَدْتُهُ فَبَكَى قَالَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا زِلْتُ أُنْشِدُهُ وَ يَبْكِي حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ الْبُكَاءَ مِنَ الدَّارِ فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا عُمَارَةَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِي الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) شِعْراً فَأَبْكَى خَمْسِينَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِي الْحُسَيْنِ شِعْراً فَأَبْكَى أَرْبَعِينَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِي الْحُسَيْنِ شِعْراً فَأَبْكَى ثَلَاثِينَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِي الْحُسَيْنِ شِعْراً فَأَبْكَى عِشْرِينَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِي الْحُسَيْنِ شِعْراً فَأَبْكَى عَشَرَةً فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِي الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) شِعْراً فَأَبْكَى وَاحِداً فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِي الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) شِعْراً فَبَكَى فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِي الْحُسَيْنِ شِعْراً فَتَبَاكَى فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ

2. Abul ‘Abbās (Al-Qurashi) narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Abī ‘Uthmān, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Abil Mughīrah, from Abī ‘Umārah Al-Munshid, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq ) said to me, “O Abā ‘Umārah! Recite a poem for me about Ḥusain .” I recited a poem for him and he started to cry. Then I recited another poem and he cried (more). Then I recited another poem for him and he cried (even more). I swear to Allāh that I kept reciting poems for him and he kept crying, and I also heard (others) crying from inside the house as well. Then the Imam said to me: O Abā ‘Umārah! Anyone who recites a poem about Ḥusain and makes fifty people cry will be rewarded with Paradise. Anyone who recites a poem about Ḥusain and makes forty people cry will be rewarded with Paradise. Anyone who recites a poem about Ḥusain and makes thirty people cry will be rewarded with Paradise. Anyone who recites a poem about Ḥusain and makes twenty people cry will be rewarded with Paradise. Anyone who recites a poem about Ḥusain and makes ten people cry will be rewarded with Paradise. Anyone who recites a poem about Ḥusain and makes one person cry will be rewarded with Paradise. Anyone who recites a poem about Ḥusain and cries will be rewarded with Paradise. Anyone who recites a poem about Ḥusain and tries to cry will be rewarded with Paradise.
