Hadith 2183
۞
2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from certain individuals of our people who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said that if you wish to visit al-Husayn (a.s.), you should visit him when you feel sad, faced with hardship, in an untidy physical condition, hungry and thirsty. Ask him to help you for your wishes, then move away and do not adopt it as your place of residence.”
2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ
إِذَا أَرَدْتَ زِيَارَةَ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَزُرْهُ وَأَنْتَ حَزِينٌ مَكْرُوبٌ شَعِثٌ مُغْبَرٌّ جَائِعٌ عَطْشَانُ وَسَلْهُ الْحَوَائِجَ وَانْصَرِفْ عَنْهُ وَلا تَتَّخِذْهُ وَطَناً.
