5 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ره وَ جَمَاعَةُ مَشَايِخِي ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ قَالَ لِي يَا عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ لَا تَدَعْ زِيَارَةَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) وَ مُرْ أَصْحَابَكَ بِذَلِكَ يَمُدُّ اللَّهُ فِي عُمُرِكَ وَ يَزِيدُ اللَّهُ فِي رِزْقِكَ وَ يُحْيِيكَ اللَّهُ سَعِيداً وَ لَا تَمُوتُ إِلَّا سَعِيداً [شَهِيداً] وَ يَكْتُبُكَ سَعِيداً

5. My father and all of my scholars narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥamamd ibn Abī Nasr, from some of our companions, from Abān, from ‘Abdil Malik Al-Khath’ami, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s)) said to me: O ‘Abd Al-Malik! Do not neglect going to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s) and order your friends to go to his Ziyārah, (because by going to his Ziyārah) Allāh will prolong your life, increase your sustenance, allow you to live a life of bliss and die a blissful death, as well as register you among the blissful ones.
