Ḥadīth #2

:371

2 وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (ع) أَنَّ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَسْكَنُهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ مَأْوَاهُ الْجَنَّةَ فَلَا يَدَعْ زِيَارَةَ الْمَظْلُومِ قُلْتُ مَنْ هُوَ قَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ صَاحِبُ كَرْبَلَاءَ مَنْ أَتَاهُ شَوْقاً إِلَيْهِ وَ حُبّاً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ حُبّاً لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ حُبّاً لِفَاطِمَةَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ أَقْعَدَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَوَائِدِ الْجَنَّةِ يَأْكُلُ مَعَهُمْ وَ النَّاسُ فِي الْحِسَابِ

2. It is narrated from Abī Basīr, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s)) said: Those who want their destination and abode to be Paradise should not neglect going to the Ziyārah of the oppressed one. I asked, “Who is the oppressed one?” Imam (a.s) replied: Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s), the man of Karbalā. Allah will make those who go to his Ziyārah yearning for him and with love for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, love for the Commander of the Believers (a.s), and love for Fāťimah (s.a.), sit at the Mawā`id of Paradise. They will be eating with them while others are undergoing the process of Judgment. The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through someone who narrated from Abī Basīr, from Abī ‘Abdillāh and Abī Ja’far (a.s).
