Hadith.3193 - Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal narrated from Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) that he said: "Indeed, there is a spot in Khurasan where a time will come when it will become a place frequented by the angels." Imam (as) continued: "A group will constantly descend from the heavens and a group will ascend, until the Trumpet is blown." Imam was asked
"O son of the Messenger of Allah (swt), which spot is this?" Imam (as) replied: "It is in the land of Tus. By Allah (swt), it is a garden from the gardens of Paradise. Whoever visits me in that spot will be as if they have visited the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family. Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, will write for them the reward of one thousand accepted Hajj and one thousand accepted Umrah. I and my forefathers will be their intercessors on the Day of Judgment."
