66-25 Muhammad ibn Ali Majilawayh -may God be pleased with him- narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted on the authority of Hamdan ibn Soleiman al-Neishaboori on the authority of Ali ibn Muhammad al-Hossayni on the authority of Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Marwan,on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Uqbah that he had written a letter to (Imam Al-Hadi) Abil Hassan the third (a.s.) in which he had asked the Imam (a.s.) about the pilgrimage to (the shrine of the third Imam) Abi Abdullah Al-Husayn (a.s.), (the shrine of the seventh Imam) Abal Hassan (a.s.) and (the shrine of the eighth Imam) Abi Ja’far (a.s.). Then Imam Al-Hadi (a.s.) had written back
“(The pilgrimage to the shrine of Imam Al-Husayn) Abu Abdullah (a.s.) is preferred. This is more complete and has a greater reward.”
