5 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارِ عَنِ الْعَمْرَكِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى وَ كَانَ فِي خِدْمَةِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي (ع) عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) فِي حَدِيثٍ لَهُ طَوِيلٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمَا لِمَنْ صَلَّى عِنْدَهُ يَعْنِي الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) قَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى عِنْدَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يَسْأَلِ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَقُلْتُ فَمَا لِمَنِ اغْتَسَلَ مِنْ مَاءِ الْفُرَاتِ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ قَالَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنْ مَاءِ الْفُرَاتِ وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُهُ تَسَاقَطَتْ عَنْهُ خَطَايَاهُ كَيَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ قُلْتُ فَمَا لِمَنْ جَهَّزَ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ لِعِلَّةٍ قَالَ يُعْطِيهِ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ دِرْهَمٍ أَنْفَقَهُ مِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ مِثْلَ جَبَلِ أُحُدٍ وَ يُخْلِفُ عَلَيْهِ أَضْعَافَ مَا أَنْفَقَ وَ يَصْرِفُ عَنْهُ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ مِمَّا قَدْ نَزَلَ فَيُدْفَعُ وَ يُحْفَظُ فِي مَالِهِ وَ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ
5. My father narrated to me from Aḥmad ibn Idrīs, and from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā Al-‘Aťťār, from ‘Amraki ibn ‘Ali, from Yaḥyā – the servant of Abī Ja’far the Second (Imam Jawād ), from ‘Ali, from Safwān Al-Jammāl, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq
) – as part of a longer Ḥadīth, – “What is the reward for those who establish prayers next to him – referring to Ḥusain
?” Imam
replied, “Those who establish two Rak’ah of prayers next to him will not ask anything from Allāh, the Exalted, without Allāh granting it.” I asked, “What about those who perform Ghusl with the water of the Euphrates (River) and then go to him?” Imam
replied, “If they perform Ghusl with the water of the Euphrates (River) with the intention of going to him, their sins will fall off of them (and they will become sinless) like the day their mothers gave birth to them.” I asked, “What about those who make arrangements for others to go but they do not go themselves because of being ill?” Imam
replied: Allāh will recompense them for every Dirham that they have spent (making the arrangement for others) with rewards as great as the mountain of Uḥud and will sustain them with multiple amounts. Furthermore, the afflictions which had been destined for them will be pushed away and their wealth will be protected.
