4 وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِي الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) بَيْتَ شِعْرٍ فَبَكَى وَ أَبْكَى عَشَرَةً فَلَهُ وَ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةُ- وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِي الْحُسَيْنِ بَيْتاً فَبَكَى وَ أَبْكَى تِسْعَةً فَلَهُ وَ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ حَتَّى قَالَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِي الْحُسَيْنِ بَيْتاً فَبَكَى وَ أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ أَوْ تَبَاكَى فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ

4. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl, from Sāliḥ ibn ‘Uqbah, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq ) said: If one recites one verse of a poem about Ḥusain and cries and makes ten people cry, he and those (who cry) will be rewarded with Paradise. If one recites one verse of a poem about Ḥusain and cries and makes nine people cry, he and those (who cry) will be rewarded with Paradise… Imam kept reducing from the number and repeating the same reward until he said: If one recites one verse of a poem about Ḥusain and cries (or even tries to cry), he will be rewarded with Paradise.
