1 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ كَمْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَ بَيْنَ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) قُلْتُ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ فَرْسَخاً قَالَ أَ وَ مَا تَأْتُونَهُ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ مَا أَجْفَاكُمْ

1. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥakam, from some of his companions, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir ) asked, “What is the distance between you and the grave of Ḥusain?” I replied, “Sixteen parasangs.” Imam asked, “Do you not go to him?” I replied, “No.” Imam said, “How negligent you people are!!!”
