11 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ حَمْدَانَ الْقَلَانِسِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحُضَيْنِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الثَّالِثِ (ع) أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ وَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) الْمُقَدَّمُ وَ هَذَا أَجْمَعُ وَ أَعْظَمُ أَجْراً

11. Muḥammad ibn Ya’qūb narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā, from Ḥamdān Al-Qalānisi, from ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad Al-Ḥuďayni, from ‘Ali ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Marwān, from Ibrāhīm ibn ‘Uqbah, who said: I wrote to Abil Ḥasan the Third (Imam Hādi ) asking him about the Ziyārah of the grave of Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain ) and about the Ziyārah of the graves of Abil Ḥasan (Imam Kāżim ) and Abī Ja’far (Imam Jawād ). Imam replied, “Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain ) comes first but that (the Ziyārah of Imam Kāżim and Imam Jawād) is more complete and has a greater reward.”
