The Reward for the Ziyārah of Abil Ĥasan ‘Ali ibn Mūsā Al-Riďā in Ťūs — Hadith 12

12. Muḥammad ibn Ya’qūb narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā Al-‘Attār, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain Al-Naysābūri, from Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad, from ‘Abdil Raḥmān ibn Sa’īd Al-Makki, from Yaḥyā ibn Sulaymān Al-Māzini, who said: Abul Ḥasan, Mūsā ibn Ja’far (Imam Kāżim (a. s. )) said, “Allāh will register seventy accepted Hajj for those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of my son (Imam Riďā (a. s. )). ” I asked, “Seventy Hajj? ! ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “Yes and even seven hundred Hajj. ” I asked, “Seven hundred Hajj? ! ! ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “Yes and even seventy thousand Hajj. ” I asked, “Seventy thousand Hajj? ! ! ! ” Imam (a. s. ) replied, “Yes and going to Hajj is not always accepted. Verily those who go to his Ziyārah and spend the night next to him are like those who go to the Ziyārah of Allāh on His Throne. ” I asked, “Like those who go to the Ziyārah of Allāh on His Throne? ! ! ! ! ” Imam (a. s. ) replied: Yes! On the Day of Judgment, there will be four people from the past (nations) and four people from the last (nation) on the Throne of Allāh. The four who are from the past (nations) are Nūḥ, Ibrāhīm, Mūsā, and ‘Isā (a. s. ) and the four people from the last (nation) are Muḥammad, ‘Ali, Ḥasan, and Ḥusain – may Allāh’s blessings be upon all of them. Then a barrier will be extended and (only) those who have gone to the Ziyārah of the graves of the Imams (a. s. ) will sit with us. Verily the highest ones in rank and the closest ones to us who will be honoured will be those who have gone to the Ziyārah of the grave of my son, ‘Ali (a. s. ). The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: My father, from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain Al-Naysābūri, from Ibrāhīm ibn Riyāb, through the above Isnād from Abil Ḥasan, Mūsā ibn Ja’far (a. s. ).
