The Rewards & Punishments of Deeds · Hadith 316 (#Ḥadīth #20)

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ کَثِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی نُمَیْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّ وَلَایَتَنَا عُرِضَتْ عَلَی أَهْلِ الْأَمْصَارِ فَلَمْ یَقْبَلْهَا قَبُولَ أَهْلِ الْکُوفَهِ بِشَیْ ءٍ وَ ذَلِکَ أَنَّ قَبْرَ عَلِیٍّ ع فِیهِ وَ أَنَّ لِیَ الزُّلْفَهَ لِقَبْرٍ آخَرَ یَعْنِی قَبْرَ الْحُسَیْنِ وَ مَا مِنْ آتٍ أَتَاهُ یُصَلِّی عِنْدَهُ رَکْعَتَیْنِ أَوْ أَرْبَعاً ثُمَّ یَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ حَاجَتَهُ إِلَّا قَضَاهَا لَهُ وَ إِنَّهُ لَتَحُفُّهُ کُلَّ یَوْمٍ أَلْفُ مَلَکٍ.

20. Imam Muhammad Baqir says, “Our Wilayat was presented to the people of various cities but no one accepted us like the people of Kufa. This is so because the holy grave of Ali Ibne Abi Talib is over there and there is one more grave near him i.e. the grave of Imam Husain . One who comes for the Ziyarat, offers a two-four rakat Salaat near the grave and seeks desires from Allah his desires would be fulfilled immediately. Surely one thousand angels surround the grave daily.”
