Reward of reciting a couplet regarding Imam Husain (a.s.), crying, making others cry or making a crying face

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. al-Hussain b. al-Khattab from Muhammad b. Ismail from Salih b. ’Uqba from Abi Harun al-Makfoof who said
“O Abu Haroon! One who cries after reciting the poems of Imam Husain (a.s.) and makes ten people cry Allah would make everyone enter Paradise. One who cries after reciting the poem of Imam Husain (a.s.) and makes five people cry everyone would get Paradise. One who recites the poem of Imam Husain (a.s.) and makes a person cry Paradise would be made obligatory for both of them. If a discussion of Husain (a.s.) is held in front of a person and a tear equal to the wing of a fly comes out of his eyes his reward is with the Almighty Allah and Allah won’t be satisfied without giving him Paradise.”
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ أَبِی هَارُونَ الْمَکْفُوفِ قَالَ
قَالَ لِی أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَا أَبَا هَارُونَ أَنْشِدْنِی فِی الْحُسَیْنِ ع فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِی أَنْشِدْنِی کَمَا یُنْشِدُونَ یَعْنِی بِالرِّقَّهِ قَالَ فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ هَذَا الشَّعْرَ- امْرُرْ عَلَی جَدَثِ الْحُسَیْنِ فَقُلْ لِأَعْظُمِهِ الزَّکِیَّهِ قَالَ فَبَکَی ثُمَّ قَالَ زِدْنِی فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ الْقَصِیدَهَ الْأُخْرَی قَالَ فَبَکَی وَ سَمِعْتُ الْبُکَاءَ مِنْ خَلْفِ السِّتْرِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ قَالَ یَا أَبَا هَارُونَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِی الْحُسَیْنِ ع شِعْراً فَبَکَی وَ أَبْکَی عَشَرَهً کُتِبَ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّهُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِی الْحُسَیْنِ ع شِعْراً فَبَکَی وَ أَبْکَی خَمْسَهً کُتِبَ لَهُ الْجَنَّهُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِی الْحُسَیْنِ ع شِعْراً فَبَکَی وَ أَبْکَی وَاحِداً کُتِبَ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّهُ وَ مَنْ ذُکِرَ الْحُسَیْنُ ع عِنْدَهُ فَخَرَجَ مِنْ عَیْنَیْهِ مِقْدَارُ جَنَاحِ ذُبَابَهٍ کَانَ ثَوَابُهُ عَلَی اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَمْ یَرْضَ لَهُ بِدُونِ الْجَنَّهِ.
