The Ziyārah of Ĥusain (a.s.) Prolongs Life and Increases Sustenance Neglecting It Shortens Life and Decreases Sustenance

Verily going to his Ziyārah increases sustenance, prolongs life, and keeps afflictions away. Verily going to his Ziyārah is obligatory on every believer who believes that Ḥusain (a.s.) is an Imam appointed by Allāh, the Great and Almighty.
2 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْنَاهُ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَتَى عَلَيْهِ حَوْلٌ لَمْ يَأْتِ قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) أَنْقَصَ [نَقَصَ اللَّهُ مِنْ عُمُرِهِ حَوْلًا وَ لَوْ قُلْتُ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَمُوتُ قَبْلَ أَجَلِهِ بِثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً لَكُنْتُ صَادِقاً وَ ذَلِكَ لِأَنَّكُمْ تَتْرُكُونَ زِيَارَةَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَلَا تَدَعُوا زِيَارَتَهُ- يَمُدُّ اللَّهُ فِي أَعْمَارِكُمْ وَ يَزِيدُ فِي أَرْزَاقِكُمْ وَ إِذَا تَرَكْتُمْ زِيَارَتَهُ نَقَصَ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَعْمَارِكُمْ وَ أَرْزَاقِكُمْ فَتَنَافَسُوا فِي زِيَارَتِهِ وَ لَا تَدَعُوا ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ شَاهِدٌ لَكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِهِ وَ عِنْدَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ عِنْدَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
2. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from his father, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdil Ḥamīd, from Sayf ibn ‘Amīrah, from Mansūr ibn Ḥāzim, who said: We heard him (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: If one (full) year passes and one does not go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), one year from his life will be reduced by Allāh. If I tell you that some of you die thirty years before your (destined) time of death, I have said the truth and this is because you (people) ignore going to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.). So do not neglect going to his Ziyārah, for Allāh will prolong your lives and increase your sustenance. However, if you ignore his Ziyārah, Allāh will shorten your lives and reduce your sustenance. Compete with one another in going to his Ziyārah and do not neglect it. Verily Ḥusain (a.s.) will testify on your behalf regarding this (matter) to Allāh, His Messenger (s.a.a.w.), Fāťimah (s.a.), and the Commander of the Believers (a.s.).

1 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُوسَى الْخَشَّابِ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ إِنَّ زَائِرَ الْحُسَيْنِ جَعَلَ ذُنُوبَهُ جِسْراً بَابَ دَارِهِ ثُمَّ عَبَرَهَا كَمَا يُخَلِّفُ أَحَدُكُمُ الْجِسْرَ وَرَاءَهُ إِذَا عَبَرَ
1. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn Walīd narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Ḥasan ibn Mūsā Al-Khashāb, from some of his scholars, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Those who go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) place their sins at the door of their house like a bridge and then leave them behind by crossing it in the same way that one leaves a bridge behind after having crossed it.
2 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ بَشِيرٍ الدَّهَّانِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَخْرُجُ إِلَى قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَلَهُ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ مَغْفِرَةٌ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلْ يُقَدَّسُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ فَإِذَا أَتَاهُ نَاجَاهُ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ عَبْدِي سَلْنِي أُعْطِكَ ادْعُنِي أُجِبْكَ اطْلُبْ مِنِّي أُعْطِكَ سَلْنِي حَاجَتَكَ أقضيها [أَقْضِهَا لَكَ قَالَ وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) وَ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ مَا بَذَلَ
2. Muḥamamd ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl, from Sāliḥ ibn ‘Uqbah, from Bashīr Al-Dahhān, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Verily when a man leaves his family to go to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), with every step that he takes, (some of) his sins will be forgiven. Then as he travels (toward Ḥusain (a.s.)) he will become more and more purified. Once he arrives (at the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)), Allāh will speak to him confidentially and say, “O My slave! Ask Me (for anything) and I will grant it. Call Me, for I will answer you. Desire anything and I will fulfill it and ask Me for any of your needs so that I may grant it.” Abū ‘Abdillāh (a.s.) added, “And he deserves to be recompensed by Allāh for that which he has spent (during the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.)).”
