Hadith 314
۞
18. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hussain from Muhammad b. Ismail b. Bazee’ from Abi Ismail al-Sarraj from Yahya b. Mu’ammar al-’Attar from Abi Basir from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said
“Four thousand angels are appointed at the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) with their hair covered in mud and in a distressed state. They will mourn Imam Husain (a.s.) till the Day of Judgment. They welcome whoever comes for the Ziyarat and that person does not return until they accompany him. He does not fall ill but that they come to treat him. He does not die but that they attend his funeral prayer.”
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ بَزِیعٍ عَنْ أَبِی إِسْمَاعِیلَ السَّرَّاجِ عَنْ یَحْیَی بْنِ مَعْمَرٍ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ
أَرْبَعَهُ آلَافِ مَلَکٍ شُعْثٍ غُبْرٍ یَبْکُونَ الْحُسَیْنَ ع إِلَی أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَهُ فَلَا یَأْتِیهِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا اسْتَقْبَلُوهُ وَ لَا یَرْجِعُ إِلَّا شَیَّعُوهُ وَ لَا یَمْرَضُ إِلَّا عَادُوهُ وَ لَا یَمُوتُ إِلَّا شَهِدُوهُ.
