Tradition 1: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: There are four thousand angels by the grave of Imam Al-Husayn ('a), dishevelled and covered with dust. They will cry over him until Judgment Day. Their chief is an angel named Mansur. These angels welcome all who come to the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) and accompany them when they bid farewell to Imam Al-Husayn ('a), visit them if they become ill and pray for them at their funerals when they die and seek forgiveness for them after their death.

Tradition 2: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: The Almighty Allah has appointed seventy thousand angels on the grave of Imam Al-Husayn ('a), who are dishevelled, distressed and covered with dust who invoke blessings on him every day. They pray for his visitors saying:

“Lord! These are visitors of Imam Al-Husayn ('a)! Do such and such for them.”

Tradition 3: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: Do not forsake the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a). Do you not like to be of those for whom the angels pray?”

Tradition 4: Same as no. 2.

Tradition 5: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: As if I can see the Qa’im in the elevated parts of Kufa wearing the armour of Allah's Messenger. He will shake the armour and it will wrap itself around him, after which he will cover it with a brocade robe. He will be mounted a jet-black horse with whiteness on its forehead. He will move the horse in such a way that people in every country will see him as if he is with them in their own country. In this way he will unfold the standard of Allah's Messenger. Its pole is from pillars of Arsh, whereas the rest is from Allah's victory! If he points it to anything, Allah will destroy it. When he waves it, the heart of every believer will be like a strong iron piece and each believer will be given the strength of forty men. Every believer who has died will feel the joy (of the Qa’im's rising) in his grave. They (dead believers) will begin visiting one another in their graves and give glad tidings to one another about the Qa’im's uprising. Then thirteen thousand three hundred and thirteen angels will join the Imam.

I (the narrator) asked, “So many angels will join him?” Imam ('a) replied: Yes, they are as follows:

A. The angels who were with Nuh in the ark

B. Who were with Ibrahim when he was cast in the inferno

C. Who were with Musa when he split the sea for Bani Israel

D. And who were with Isa when Allah raised him to the heavens.

E. Four thousand equipped angels and one thousand angels who came in unbroken succession who were with the Prophet.

F. Three hundred and thirteen angels who fought in the Battle of Badr

G. Four thousand angels who descended to fight along with Imam Al-Husayn ('a) but who were not permitted to fight. They remain by the grave of Imam Al-Husayn ('a), dishevelled and covered with dust. They will cry over him until Judgment Day. Their chief is an angel named Mansur. These angels receive all who visit the grave of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) and accompany them when they bid farewell. They visit them if they become ill, pray on them at their funerals and seek forgiveness for them after their death. All these angels are on earth waiting for the Qa’im's uprising.
