The Dictations · Hadith 971 (#Ḥadīth #9)

9 - حدثنا محمد بن إبراهيم بن إسحاق الطالقاني (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد الهمداني، قال: حدثنا علي بن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن أبيه، قال: سمعت أبا الحسن علي بن موسى الرضا (عليه السلام) يقول: إني مقتول ومسموم ومدفون بأرض غربة، أعلم ذلك بعهد عهده إلي أبي عن أبيه عن آبائه عن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله)، ألا فمن زارني في غربتي كنت أنا وآبائي شفعاؤه يوم القيامة، ومن كنا شفعاؤه نجا ولو كان عليه مثل وزر الثقلين (2).

Muhammad b. Ibrahim b. Ishaq al-Talaqani narrated to us. He said: Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Hamadani narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. al-Hasan b. `Ali b. Faddal narrated to us from his father. He said: I heard Aba’l Hasan `Ali b. Musa al-Rida say: Surely, I will be killed, poisoned, and buried in a strange land. I know that due to a covenant that was given to me by my father from his father from his forefathers from the Messenger of Allah (s). Surely, he who visits me in my isolation shall have the intercession of my forefathers and I on the Day of Resurrection. He who has our intercession will be saved, even if his sins are like that of the two heavyweights (humanity and the Jinn).
