2. Abu Ali al-Ash'ari narrated from Abdullah ibn Musa, from al-Hasan ibn Ali al-Washsha', who said that
he heard Imam al-Ridha (as) say: "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 the Day of Resurrection."
2ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُوسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ إِمَامٍ عَهْداً فِي عُنُقِ أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَشِيعَتِهِ وَإِنَّ مِنْ تَمَامِ الْوَفَاءِ بِالْعَهْدِ وَحُسْنِ الأَدَاءِ زِيَارَةَ قُبُورِهِمْ فَمَنْ زَارَهُمْ رَغْبَةً فِي زِيَارَتِهِمْ وَتَصْدِيقاً بِمَا رَغِبُوا فِيهِ كَانَ أَئِمَّتُهُمْ شُفَعَاءَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
