1 حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَلِيٍّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَمَّامِ بْنِ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَبْزَارِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (ع) فِي أَيِّ شَهْرٍ نَزُورُ الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) قَالَ فِي النِّصْفِ مِنْ رَجَبٍ وَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ وَ رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (ع) مِثْلَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَيُّ الْأَوْقَاتِ أَفْضَلُ أَنْ تَزُورَ [نَزُورَ فِيهِ الْحُسَيْنَ

1. Abū ‘Ali Muḥammad ibn Hammām ibn Suhayl narrated to me from Abī ‘Abdillāh Ja’far ibn Muḥammad ibn Mālik, from Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad Al-Abzāri, from Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Abī Nasr Al-Bizanťi, who said: I asked Abal Ḥasan (Imam Riďā ), “In which month should we go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain ?” Imam replied, “On the fifteenth of Rajab and the fifteenth of Sha’bān.” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated through the following chain: Aḥmad ibn Hilāl, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Abī Nasr, from Abil Ḥasan, Imam Riďā . However, the question reads, “When is the best time to go to Ziyārah of Ḥusain ?”
