The Reward for Those Who Go to the Ziyārah of Ĥusain or Help Others Go to His Ziyārah — Hadith 2

2. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to 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 Hishām ibn Sālim, who said: A man came to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a. s. )) and asked, “O son of the Messenger of Allāh! Should one go to the Ziyārah of your father (Ḥusain (a. s. ))? ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “Yes and establish prayers next to his grave. But one should not establish prayers in front of the grave, but rather, one should stand behind it when establishing prayers. ” The man asked, “What is the reward for those who go to his Ziyārah? ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “Paradise, (but only) if they believe in his Imamate. ” The man asked, “What about those who neglect his Ziyārah intentionally? ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “(They will) regret (it) on the Day of Regret. ” The man asked, “What about those who stay (a few days) by his grave? ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “Every day will be equal to one thousand months (of worship). ” The man asked, “What about those who spend money while traveling to his Ziyārah and who give charity near his grave? ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “Every Dirham is equal to one thousand Dirhams. ” The man asked, “What about those who die on their way to him? ” Imam (a. s. ) replied: The angels will bring embalmment and shrouds for them from Paradise and accompany them in their funerals. After they are shrouded (by the people), the angels will establish prayers on them and shroud them (again with another shroud) over their (existing) shrouds. Then they will spread flowers under their bodies (in their graves) and will push the walls of their graves three miles from every direction. Then a door from the doors of Paradise will be opened to their graves and its soothing fragrance will fill their graves until the rising of the Hour. The man asked, “What about those who establish prayers next to him? ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “Those who establish two Rak’ah of prayers next to him will not ask anything from Allāh, the Exalted, without Allāh granting it. ” The man asked, “What about those who perform Ghusl with the water of the Euphrates (River) and then go to him? ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “If they perform Ghusl with the water of the Euphrates (River) with the intention of going to him, their sins will fall off of them (and they will become sinless) like the day their mothers gave birth to them. ” The man asked, “What about those who make arrangements for others to go but they do not go themselves because of fear of affliction? ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “Allāh will recompense them for every Dirham that they have spent (making the arrangement for others) with rewards as great as the mountain of Uḥud and will sustain them with multiple amounts. Furthermore, the afflictions which had been destined for them will be pushed away and their wealth will be protected. ” The man asked, “What about those who are killed next to Ḥusain (a. s. ) – those who are captured by a dominating power and killed? ” Imam (a. s. ) replied: All of their sins will be forgiven with the first drop of their blood which is spilled. Then the angels will cleanse the clay
