قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِيَارَةُ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) أَفْضَلُ أَمْ زِيَارَةُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ زِيَارَةُ أَبِي أَفْضَلُ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَزُورُهُ كُلُّ النَّاسِ وَ أَبِي لَا يَزُورُهُ إِلَّا الْخَوَاصُّ مِنَ الشِّيعَةِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ali Bin Mahziyar who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! <span class="iTxt">Ziyarah</span> of Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> is superior or <span class="iTxt">Ziyarah</span> of Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup>?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘<span class="iTxt">Ziyarah</span> of my<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> is superior, and that is that Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, all the people visit him<sup>asws</sup>, and my<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup>, no one visits him<sup>asws</sup> except for the particular ones from the Shiah’.
