Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah asws saying: ‘Rasool-Allah saww said: ‘Whoever causes an incident in Al-Medina or shelters an incident maker, so upon him is the Curse of Allah azwj ’. I said,

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that during your return from Makkah to al-Madinah, on your way when you are in Dhu al-Hulayfah, then visit Mu‘arras of the Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. You should perform salat (prayer) there if it is time

“I once said to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, our camel-man passed by al-Mu‘arras but did not disembark for rest. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must go back.’ I then went back.’”

“Ali ibn Asbat once said to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), and we were listening, ‘We did not disembark in al-Mu‘arras. We then informed ibn al-Qasim ibn al-Fudayl who had not disembarked in al-Mu‘ arras. He then had asked you about it, and you commanded him to go back to al-Mu‘ arras to comply with the tradition for that place

“I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about performing salat (prayer) in Masjid of Ghadir Khum during the day while I am on a journey. He (the Imam) said, ‘Perform salat (prayer) therein; it is a virtuous thing to do. My father commanded to do so/”

“I once provided transportation for Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), from al-Medina to Mecca. When we arrived at Masjid of al-Ghadir Khumm, he looked to the left side of the Masjid and said this. ‘That is the place where the Messenger of Allah (saww) set foot when he (the Messenger of Allah) said, “On whoever I have Divine Autho

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that it is preferable to perform salat (prayer) in the Masjid of al-Ghadir. The Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, declared there ’Amir al-Mu’minin to be the executor of his will. It is the place where Allah, the

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that no one of the prophets and the executors of the will of the prophets remain on earth for more than three days, within which time his Ruh (spirit), bones and flesh are taken to the heaven. People come only to the places where their marks are left. They convey and express their al-S

"Indeed, every Imam has a covenant upon his supporters and followers. And among the complete fulfillment of the covenant and good performance is the visitation of their graves. So whoever visits them out of desire for visiting them and in affirmation of what they desired will have their Imams as their intercessors on t

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from abu Hashim al-Ja’fariy who has said the following: “Once, abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, during his illness, called me and Muhammad ibn Hamzah. Muhammad ibn Hamzah went to him before me. Muhammad told me that he (the Imam) still says, ‘You must send som
