2. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, and from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl, from Sāliḥ ibn ‘Uqbah, from Bashīr Al-Dahhān, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Verily when a man leaves his family to go to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), with the first step that he takes, all of his sins will be forgiven. Then as he travels (toward Ḥusain (a.s.)), he will become more and more purified. Once he arrives (at the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)), Allāh will speak to him confidentially and say, “O My slave! Ask Me (for anything) and I will grant it. Call Me, for I will answer you. Desire anything and I will fulfill it, and ask Me for any of your needs so that I may grant it.” Abū ‘Abdillāh (a.s.) added, “And he deserves to be recompensed by Allāh for that which he has spent (in coming to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.)).”

3. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, and from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl, from Sāliḥ ibn ‘Uqbah, from Ḥarath ibn Mughīrah, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Allāh has some angels who are dedicated to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.). When someone decides to go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.), Allāh will give his sins to these angels. With the (first) step that he takes, the angels will erase his sins, and with any additional steps that he may take, the angels will multiply his good deeds, and his good deeds will keep increasing until he deserves (to enter) Paradise. Then the dedicated angels will surround him and sanctify him. They will call out to the angels of the heavens, “Sanctify the Zuwwār of the love of the love of Allāh (the Prophet (s.a.a.w.)).” After the Zuwwār perform Ghusl, Muḥammad (s.a.a.w.) will call out to them, “O guests of Allāh! Be delighted for you will join me in Paradise.” Then the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) will call out to them, “I guarantee the fulfillment of your requests and to keep the afflictions away from you in this life and in the Hereafter.” Then the Prophet (s.a.a.w.) will join them and stay to their right and left side until they return to their families.

4. ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain ibn Mūsā ibn Bābawayh and a group (of my scholars) narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Mughīrah, from ‘Abbās ibn ‘Āmir, from Jābir Al-Makfūf, from Abil Sāmit, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: Allāh will register one thousand good deeds and erase one thousand bad deeds for every step taken by those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) on foot. He will also increase their status one thousand times (for every step taken). Imam (a.s.) added: When you arrive at the Euphrates (River), perform Ghusl, carry your shoes, and walk barefoot like a humble slave. Once you arrive at the door of the Ḥā`ir, recite (the phrase of) TAKBǏR four times. Then walk a little and repeat this four more times. Then approach the location close to his head, stand there and repeat it four more times. Establish prayers next to his grave and ask Allāh for your needs.

5. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl ibn Bazī’, from Sāliḥ ibn ‘Uqbah, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Hilāl, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)), “May I sacrifice myself for you! What is the minimum reward for those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “O ‘Abdallāh! Verily the minimum (reward) for them is that (in this life), Allāh will protect them and their families until they return to their families, and on the Day of Judgment, Allāh will be their protector.”

6. My father narrated to me from Ḥusain ibn Ḥasan ibn Abān, from Muḥammad ibn Ūramah, from someone who narrated to him, from ‘Ali ibn Maymūn Al-Sāyigh, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said (to me), “O ‘Ali! Go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) and do not neglect it.” I asked, “What is the reward for one who goes to his Ziyārah?” Imam (a.s.) replied: Allāh will register one good deed and erase one bad deed for every step taken by those who go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) on foot. He will also add one rank to their ranks (for every step taken). Once he arrives at the grave (of Ḥusain (a.s.)), Allāh will dedicate two angels to him who will only write the good that comes out of his mouth and will not write anything bad that he might say or do. When he leaves, they will bid farewell to him and say, “O friend of Allāh! You are forgiven. You are from the party of Allāh, the party of His Messenger (s.a.a.w.), and the party of the family of His Messenger (s.a.a.w.). We swear to Allāh that you will never see Hell and it will never see you nor burn you.”

7. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, and from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Khālid Al-Barqi, from his father, from ‘Abdil ‘Ażīm ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ḥasan, from Ḥusain ibn Ḥakam Al-Nakh’i, from Abī Ḥammād Al-A’rābi, from Sadīr Al-Sayrafi, who said: We were with Abī Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) when a young man mentioned the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.). Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) said to him, “Allāh will register one good deed and erase one bad deed for every step taken by those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.).”

8. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from his father, from ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad ibn Sālim, from Muḥammad ibn Khālid, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ḥammād Al-Basri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān Al-Asam, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Muskān, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Those of our Shia who go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) will not return without all of their sins having been forgiven. Allāh will register one thousand good deeds and erase one thousand bad deeds for every step they take or their sumpters take. He will also elevate their status one thousand times (for every step taken).

9. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Qurashi Al-Razzāz narrated to me from his uncle Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Aḥmad ibn Bashīr Al-Sarrāj, from Abī Sa’īd Al-Qāďi, who said: I entered the chamber of Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) and found Murāzim (ibn Ḥukaym) with him. I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (a.s.) say: Allāh will register the reward of freeing a slave from the children of Ismā’īl for those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) on foot with every step they take and each time they raise their foot and place it on the ground. And as for those who go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) by ship – if their ship drowns, a caller from the heavens will call out to them, “Be delighted and enjoy the pleasures of Paradise.”
