The Reward for the Ziyārah of Abil Ĥasan ‘Ali ibn Mūsā Al-Riďā in Ťūs — Hadith 7

7. My father, Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan, and ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain all narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Abī Khalaf, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Mughīrah, from Ḥusain ibn Sayf ibn ‘Amīrah, from Muḥammad ibn Aslam Al-Jabali, from Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān, who said: I said to Abī Ja’far (Imam Jawād (a. s. )): (Let’s assume there is) a person (who) decides to go to Hajj to perform his obligatory Hajj after having performed the ‘Umrah of Tamattu’ and Allāh helps him and he completes his Hajj and ‘Umrah. Then he goes to Madīnah and says Salām to the Messenger of Allāh (s. a. a. w. ), then comes to you, while believing in your rights and knowing that you are Allāh’s Decisive Proof on His creation and the door which leads to Allāh, and says Salām to you. Thereafter, he goes to (the Ziyārah of) Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Ḥusain (a. s. ) and says Salām to him, and then he goes to Baghdād and says Salām to Abil Ḥasan, Mūsā ibn Ja’far (Imam Kāżim (a. s. )), and then returns to his home country. If Allāh sustains this person in the next year with enough wealth to go for Hajj again, is it better for him to repeat the Hajj as he did in the last year or to go to Khurāsān to (the Ziyārah of) your father, ‘Ali ibn Mūsā Al-Riďā (a. s. ), and say Salām to him? Imam (a. s. ) replied: It is better to go to Khurāsān and say Salām to Abil Ḥasan (Imam Riďā (a. s. )). He should go in the month of Rajab but this is not applicable now because there is fear for us and for you from the King and it outrages him. ”
