12 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَسَلَّمَ وَ جَلَسَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (ع) مِنْ أَيِّ الْبِلَادِ أَنْتَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ وَ أَنَا لَكَ مُحِبٌّ مُوَالٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (ع) أَ تُصَلِّي فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ كُلَّ صَلَاتِكَ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لَا فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (ع) إِنَّكَ لَمَحْرُومٌ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (ع) أَ تَغْتَسِلُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ فُرَاتِكُمْ مَرَّةً قَالَ لَا- قَالَ فَفِي كُلِّ جُمْعَةٍ فَقَالَ لَا قَالَ فَفِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَفِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ قَالَ لَا فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (ع) إِنَّكَ لَمَحْرُومٌ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ تَزُورُ قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فِي كُلِّ جُمْعَةٍ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَفِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَفِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ قَالَ لَا فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (ع) إِنَّكَ لَمَحْرُومٌ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ

12. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār narrated to me from his father, from his grandfather, from Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb, from Ḥanān ibn Sadīr, who said: I was with Abī Ja’far (Imam Bāqir ) when a man entered, said Salām to the Imam , and sat down. “Where are you from?” Imam asked the man. “I am from Kūfah. I believe in your Wilāyah and I am one of your lovers,” the man said. “Do you establish all of your prayers in the Mosque of Kūfah?” Imam asked. “No,” the man replied. “Verily you are deprived of the good (blessings),” Imam said. Then the Imam asked, “Do you perform a Ghusl once a day with the water of the Euphrates River which is close to you?” “No,” the man replied. “What about once a week?” Imam asked. “No,” the man replied. “What about once a month?” Imam asked. “No,” the man replied. “What about once a year?” Imam asked. “No,” the man replied. “Verily you are deprived of the good (blessings),” Imam said. Then the Imam asked, “Do you go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain once a week?” “No,” the man replied. “What about once a month?” Imam asked. “No,” the man replied. “What about once a year?” Imam asked. “No,” the man replied. “Verily you are deprived of the good (blessings),” Imam said.
