The Reward for the Ziyārah of Ĥusain Is Equal to the Reward for Performing a Hajj and an ‘Umrah — Hadith 15

15. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Qurashi Al-Kūfi Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl ibn Bazī’, from Sāliḥ ibn ‘Uqbah, from Yazīd ibn ‘Abdil Malik, who said: I was with Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a. s. )) when a group of people who were riding on donkeys passed by. Imam (a. s. ) asked, “Where are they going? ” I replied, “To the graves of the martyrs (of Uḥud). ” Imam (a. s. ) asked, “What prevents them from going to the Ziyārah of the lonely (abandoned) Martyr? ” One of the people who was from Iraq asked, “Is going to his Ziyārah obligatory? ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “His Ziyārah is better than performing Hajj and ‘Umrah, and another Hajj and ‘Umrah, and another Hajj and ‘Umrah, and…” Yazīd ibn ‘Abdil Malik added: Imam (a. s. ) mentioned twenty purified and accepted Hajj and ‘Umrah. And I swear to Allāh that I did not leave the Imam (a. s. ) until a man came to him and said, “I have gone to Hajj nineteen times. Please pray for me so that Allāh sustains me with the twentieth time. ” Imam (a. s. ) asked, “Have you ever gone to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a. s. )? ” The man replied, “No. ” Imam (a. s. ) said, “Verily going to his Ziyārah is better than twenty Hajj. ”
