4 وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ عَنْ أُمِّ سَعِيدٍ الْأَحْمَسِيَّةِ قَالَتْ جِئْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَجَاءَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ جِئْتُ بِالدَّابَّةِ فَقَالَ لِي يَا أُمَّ سَعِيدٍ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ هَذِهِ الدَّابَّةُ- أَيْنَ تَبْغِينَ تَذْهَبِينَ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ أَزُورُ قُبُورَ الشُّهَدَاءِ قَالَ أُخْرَى ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ مَا أَعْجَبَكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ تَأْتُونَ الشُّهَدَاءَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ بَعِيدٍ وَ تَتْرُكُونَ سَيِّدَ الشُّهَدَاءِ لَا تَأْتُونَهُ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَنْ سَيِّدُ الشُّهَدَاءِ فَقَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (ع) قَالَتْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ- فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ لِمَنْ كَانَ مِثْلَكِ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَيْهِ وَ يَزُورَهُ قَالَتْ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ لَنَا فِي زِيَارَتِهِ- قَالَ تَعْدِلُ حِجَّةً وَ عُمْرَةً وَ اعْتِكَافَ شَهْرَيْنِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَ صِيَامَهَا وَ خَيْرُهَا كَذَا وَ كَذَا قَالَتْ وَ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ وَ ضَمَّهَا ضَمّاً ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ

4. Abul ‘Abbās Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Ḥakam ibn Miskīn, from Um Sa’īd Al-Aḥmasiyyah, who said: I went to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq ). While I was with him, (my) bondmaid came to me and said, “I brought the sumpter for you.” Imam asked me, “O Um Sa’īd! What is the sumpter for and where do you intend to go?” I replied, “I want to go to the Ziyārah of the graves of the martyrs (of Uḥud).” Imam said, “Postpone it for today. How strange are you people of Iraq?! You come to the Ziyārah of the martyrs (of Uḥud) from a long distance but you neglect going to the Ziyārah of the Master of the Martyrs!” I asked, “Who is the Master of the Martyrs?” Imam replied, “Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali .” I said, “(I do not go to his Ziyārah because) I am a woman.” Imam replied, “There is nothing wrong with women like you going to his Ziyārah.” I asked, “What is the reward for going to his Ziyārah?” Imam replied, “The reward of one Hajj and one ‘Umrah, I’TIKĀF for two months in Masjid Al-Ḥarām while fasting, and this much reward.” Um Sa’īd added that the Imam extended his arms out and then closed them three times (to explain ‘this much reward’).
