4 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) يَقُولُ إِنَّ لِمَوْضِعِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) حُرْمَةً مَعْلُومَةً- مَنْ عَرَفَهَا وَ اسْتَجَارَ بِهَا أُجِيرَ قُلْتُ فَصِفْ لِي مَوْضِعَهَا جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ امْسَحْ مِنْ مَوْضِعِ قَبْرِهِ الْيَوْمَ فَامْسَحْ خَمْسَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ رِجْلَيْهِ- وَ خَمْسَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً مِمَّا يَلِي وَجْهَهُ وَ خَمْسَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ خَمْسَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ رَأْسِهِ وَ مَوْضِعُ قَبْرِهِ مُنْذُ يَوْمَ دُفِنَ رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ مِنْهُ مِعْرَاجٌ يُعْرَجُ فِيهِ بِأَعْمَالِ زُوَّارِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَلَيْسَ مَلَكٌ وَ لَا نَبِيٌّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ إِلَّا وَ هُمْ يَسْأَلُونَ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُمْ فِي زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَفَوْجٌ يَنْزِلُ وَ فَوْجٌ يَعْرُجُ
4. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb, from Isḥāq ibn ‘Ammār, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq ) say: Verily there is a known boundary for the location of the grave of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali
and whoever knows it and seeks refuge in it will be protected. I said, “May I sacrifice myself for you! Describe its boundary for me.” Imam
replied, “According to the current location of his grave, measure twenty-five ells from the direction of his feet, twenty-five ells from the direction of his face, twenty-five ells from the direction of his back, and twenty-five ells from the direction of his head.” Imam
added: The location of the grave of Ḥusain
has been a garden from the gardens of Paradise since the day he was buried and the deeds of his Zuwwār ascend to the heavens from this location. There is not any prophet nor any angel in the heavens who does not ask Allāh for permission to go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain
. Therefore, there is always a crowd descending (to go to his Ziyārah) and a crowd ascending (back to the heavens).
