1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. al-Hussain b. al-Khattab from Muhammad b. Ismail from Salih b. ’Uqba from Abi Harun al-Makfoof who said: “O Abu Haroon! One who cries after reciting the poems of Imam Husain (a.s.) and makes ten people cry Allah would make everyone enter Paradise. One who cries after reciting the poem of Imam Husain (a.s.) and makes five people cry everyone would get Paradise. One who recites the poem of Imam Husain (a.s.) and makes a person cry Paradise would be made obligatory for both of them. If a discussion of Husain (a.s.) is held in front of a person and a tear equal to the wing of a fly comes out of his eyes his reward is with the Almighty Allah and Allah won’t be satisfied without giving him Paradise.”

2.  Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) told Abu Umara, “Recite a poem regarding  Imam  Husain  (a.s.).”  He  recited  the  poem  and Imam (a.s.) cried. He went on reciting and Imam (a.s.) cried continuously till the wails started coming out of his house. Then Imam (a.s.) said, “O Abu Umara! One who recites a poem regarding Imam Husain (a.s.) and makes fifty persons cry Paradise belongs to him. One who recites a poem and forty persons cry Paradise is for them. If thirty persons cry Paradise  is  for  them  also.  One  who  recites  a  poem  and twenty  persons  cry  they  too  will  get  Paradise.  One  who makes ten people cry after reciting a poem of Imam Husain (a.s.) they too will get Paradise. One who makes a person cry after reciting a poem of Imam Husain (a.s.) they too will get Paradise. One  who  recites  the  poem  of  Imam  Husain (a.s.)  and  cries  alone  he  too  will  get  Paradise.  One  who makes just a crying face after reciting the poem regarding Imam Husain (a.s.) he too will get Paradise.”

3. It was narrated to us by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Muhammad b. al-Hussain from Muhammad b. Ismail from Salih b. ’Uqba from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who recites a couplet regarding Imam Husain (a.s.) and cries or makes a crying face he would get Paradise.”
