66-25 Muhammad ibn Ali Majilawayh -may God be pleased with him- narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted on the authority of Hamdan ibn Soleiman al-Neishaboori on the authority of Ali ibn Muhammad al-Hossayni on the authority of Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Marwan,on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Uqbah that he had written a letter to (Imam Al-Hadi) Abil Hassan the third in which he had asked the Imam about the pilgrimage to (the shrine of the third Imam) Abi Abdullah Al-Husayn , (the shrine of the seventh Imam) Abal Hassan and (the shrine of the eighth Imam) Abi Ja’far . Then Imam Al-Hadi had written back, “(The pilgrimage to the shrine of Imam Al-Husayn) Abu Abdullah is preferred. This is more complete and has a greater reward.”
