Hadith 317
۞
21. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan (rah) who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Ali b. al-Hakam who raised it to Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said
“When you go for the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.), visit him in a state of grief, face covered with dust, hair uncombed, hungry and thirsty because when Imam Husain (a.s.) was martyred, he was aggrieved and gloomy. His hair was covered in mud; he was troubled, hungry and thirsty. Seek your desires over there and return. Do not make that place your home.”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ یَرْفَعُهُ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ
إِذَا زُرْتَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَزُرْهُ وَ أَنْتَ حَزِینٌ مَکْرُوبٌ شَعِثٌ مُغْبَرٌّ جَائِعٌ عَطْشَانُ فَإِنَّ الْحُسَیْنَ ع قُتِلَ حَزِیناً مَکْرُوباً شَعِثاً مُغْبَرّاً جَائِعاً عَطْشَاناً وَ اسْأَلْهُ الْحَوَائِجَ وَ انْصَرِفْ عَنْهُ وَ لَا تَتَّخِذْهُ وَطَناً.
