2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) told Abu Umara, “Recite a poem regarding Imam Husain (a.s.).” He recited the poem and Imam (a.s.) cried. He went on reciting and Imam (a.s.) cried continuously till the wails started coming out of his house. Then Imam (a.s.) said, “O Abu Umara! One who recites a poem regarding Imam Husain (a.s.) and makes fifty persons cry Paradise belongs to him. One who recites a poem and forty persons cry Paradise is for them. If thirty persons cry Paradise is for them also. One who recites a poem and twenty persons cry they too will get Paradise. One who makes ten people cry after reciting a poem of Imam Husain (a.s.) they too will get Paradise. One who makes a person cry after reciting a poem of Imam Husain (a.s.) they too will get Paradise. One who recites the poem of Imam Husain (a.s.) and cries alone he too will get Paradise. One who makes just a crying face after reciting the poem regarding Imam Husain (a.s.) he too will get Paradise.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ یَحْیَی الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَبِی عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَبِی الْمُغِیرَهِ عَنْ أَبِی عُمَارَهَ الْمُنْشِدِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ
قَالَ لِی یَا أَبَا عُمَارَهَ أَنْشِدْنِی لِلْعَبْدِیِّ فِی الْحُسَیْنِ ع قَالَ فَأَنْشَدْتُهُ فَبَکَی قَالَ ثُمَّ أَنْشَدْتُهُ فَبَکَی قَالَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا زِلْتُ أُنْشِدُهُ وَ یَبْکِی حَتَّی سَمِعْتُ الْبُکَاءَ مِنَ الدَّارِ فَقَالَ لِی یَا أَبَا عُمَارَهَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِی الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ ع فَأَبْکَی خَمْسِینَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّهُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِی الْحُسَیْنِ ع فَأَبْکَی أَرْبَعِینَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّهُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِی الْحُسَیْنِ ع فَأَبْکَی ثَلَاثِینَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّهُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِی الْحُسَیْنِ ع فَأَبْکَی عِشْرِینَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّهُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِی الْحُسَیْنِ ع فَأَبْکَی عَشَرَهً فَلَهُ الْجَنَّهُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِی الْحُسَیْنِ شِعْراً وَاحِداً فَلَهُ الْجَنَّهُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِی الْحُسَیْنِ ع شِعْراً فَبَکَی فَلَهُ الْجَنَّهُ وَ مَنْ أَنْشَدَ فِی الْحُسَیْنِ ع شِعْراً فَتَبَاکَی فَلَهُ الْجَنَّهُ.
