3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ حَمْدَانَ الْقَلانِسِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحُضَيْنِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الثَّالِثِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله الْحُسَيْنِ وَعَنْ زِيَارَةِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ وَأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَجْمَعِينَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) الْمُقَدَّمُ وَهَذَا أَجْمَعُ وَأَعْظَمُ أَجْراً.

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Hamdan al-Qalanisiy from Ali ibn Muhammad al-Hudayniy from Ali ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Marwan from Ibrahim ibn ‘Uqbah who has said the following: “I once wrote to abu al-Hassan , the 3rd, asking him about visiting abu ‘Abd Allah, al-Husayn , and about visiting abu al-Hassan and abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhim al-Salam. He (the Imam) wrote back to me this: ‘Visiting abu ‘Abd Allah , has a greater priority and it has more and complete greater rewards.’”
