The Reward for the Ziyārah of Ĥusain Is Equal to the Reward of Freeing Many Slaves — Hadith 1

1. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz Al-Kūfi narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain Al-Zayyāt, from Muḥammad ibn Sinān, from Muḥammad ibn Sadaqah, from Sāliḥ Al-Nīli, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a. s. )) said: Allāh will register the reward of freeing one thousand slaves for a person who goes to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain (a. s. ) knowing his rights. He will also earn the reward of offering one thousand saddled and bridled horses in the way of Allāh. The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: My father and Muḥammad ibn Ya’qūb (Al-Kulayni), from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā Al-‘Aťťār, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Muḥammad ibn Sinān, from Muḥammad ibn Sadaqah, from Sāliḥ Al-Nīli, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a. s. ).
