1 حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازُ الْقُرَشِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ خَالِهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الرَّازِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلَ (ع) يَقُولُ مَنْ لَمْ يُقَدِّرْهُ أَنْ يَزُورَنَا فَلْيَزُرْ صَالِحِي مَوَالِينَا- يُكْتَبْ لَهُ ثَوَابُ زِيَارَتِنَا وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى صِلَتِنَا فَلْيَصِلْ عَلَى صَالِحِي مَوَالِينَا يُكْتَبْ لَهُ ثَوَابُ صِلَتِنَا

1. Abul ‘Abbās Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz Al-Qurashi Al-Kūfi narrated to me from his uncle Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from ‘Amr ibn ‘Uthmān Al-Rāzi, who said: I heard Abal Ḥasan the First (Imam Kāżim (a.s)) say: Those who cannot come to our Ziyārah should go to the Ziyārah of our righteous followers so that the reward for coming to our Ziyārah is registered for them. And those who cannot connect with us (directly) should connect with our righteous followers so that the reward for connecting with us is registered for them.
