The Ziyārah of Ĥusain (a.s.) Erases Sins
3 وَ عَنْهُ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنِ الْحَرْثِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَلَائِكَةً مُوَكَّلِينَ بِقَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَإِذَا هَمَّ الرَّجُلُ بِزِيَارَتِهِ أَعْطَاهُمْ ذُنُوبَهُ فَإِذَا خَطَا مَحَوْهَا ثُمَّ إِذَا خَطَا ضَاعَفُوا حَسَنَاتِهِ فَمَا تَزَالُ حَسَنَاتُهُ تَضَاعَفُ حَتَّى تُوجِبَ لَهُ الْجَنَّةَ ثُمَّ اكْتَنَفُوهُ وَ قَدَّسُوهُ وَ يُنَادُونَ مَلَائِكَةَ السَّمَاءِ أَنْ قَدِّسُوا زُوَّارَ حَبِيبِ حَبِيبِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا اغْتَسَلُوا نَادَاهُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ ص يَا وَفْدَ اللَّهِ أَبْشِرُوا بِمُرَافَقَتِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ نَادَاهُمْ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (ع) أَنَا ضَامِنٌ لِقَضَاءِ حَوَائِجِكُمْ وَ دَفْعِ الْبَلَاءِ عَنْكُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ ثُمَّ اكْتَنَفُوهُمْ عَنْ أَيْمَانِهِمْ وَ عَنْ شَمَائِلِهِمْ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفُوا إِلَى أَهَالِيهِمْ
3. 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 Ḥārith ibn Mughīrah, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Allāh has some angels who are dedicated to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.). When someone decides to go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.), Allāh will give his sins to these angels. With the first step that he takes, the angels will erase his sins, and with any additional steps that he may take, the angels will multiply his good deeds and his good deeds will keep increasing until he deserves (to enter) Paradise. Then the dedicated angels will surround him and sanctify him. They will call out to the angels of the heavens, “Sanctify the Zuwwār of the love of the love of Allāh (the Prophet (s.a.a.w.)).” After the Zuwwār perform Ghusl, Muḥammad (s.a.a.w.) will call out to them, “O guests of Allāh! Be delighted for you will join me in Paradise.” Then the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) will call out to them, “I guarantee the fulfillment of your requests and to keep the afflictions away from you in this life and in the Hereafter.” Then they (the Messenger of Allāh, the Commander of the Believers (a.s.), and the angels) will surround them and stay to their right and left until they return to their families.

If you (could) hear that call, you would stay next to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) for the rest of your life. The caller will say, “Bliss be for you, O slave (of Allāh)! Surely you have won and you are safe. Surely your past sins have been forgiven. Therefore, continue with good deeds.”

5. Abul ‘Abbās Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl, from Al-Khaybari, from Ḥusain ibn Muḥammad Al-Qummi, who said: Abul Ḥasan, Mūsā (Imam Kāżim (a.s.)) said: The minimum reward for those who go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) by the shores of the Euphrates (River) while knowing his rights and believing in his sanctity and Wilāyah is that all of their past and future sins will be forgiven.
6 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أُورَمَةَ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا الْمُؤْمِنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْكَاهِلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي كَرَامَةِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ فِي شَفَاعَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ (ص) فَلْيَكُنْ لِلْحُسَيْنِ زَائِراً يَنَالُ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْفَضْلَ وَ الْكَرَامَةَ [أَفْضَلَ الْكَرَامَةِ] وَ حُسْنَ الثَّوَابِ وَ لَا يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ ذَنْبٍ عَمِلَهُ فِي حَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ لَوْ كَانَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ عَدَدَ رَمْلِ عَالِجٍ وَ جِبَالِ تِهَامَةَ وَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ إِنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) قُتِلَ مَظْلُوماً مُضْطَهَداً نَفْسُهُ عَطْشَاناً هُوَ وَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ وَ أَصْحَابُهُ
6. My father narrated to me from Ḥusain ibn Ḥasan ibn Abān, from Muḥamamd ibn Ūramah, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Zakarriyā Al-Mu`min, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Yaḥyā Al-Kāhili, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Those who want to be honoured by Allāh and to be included in the intercession of Muḥammad (s.a.a.w.) on the Day of Judgment should go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.). (By doing so) Allāh will honour them with the best of honours and rewards and He will not question them for any sins they have committed during their life, even if they are as great (in number) as the grains of sand, the scum in the seas, or the mountains of Tihāmah. Verily Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) was wronged and killed unjustly while he, his family, and his companions were thirsty.
7 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ (ع) قَالَ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ يُرِيدُ زِيَارَةَ قَبْرِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مَلَكاً فَوَضَعَ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي قَفَاهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَكْتُبُ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فِيهِ حَتَّى يَرِدَ الْحَائِرَ [الْحَيْرَ] فَإِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَابِ الْحَائِرِ [الْحَيْرِ] وَضَعَ كَفَّهُ وَسَطَ ظَهْرِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ أَمَّا مَا مَضَى فَقَدْ غُفِرَ لَكَ فَاسْتَأْنِفِ الْعَمَلَ وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي الْبِلَادِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ
7. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Muḥammad ibn Khālid Al-Barqi, from Qāsim ibn Yaḥyā ibn Ḥasan ibn Rāshid, from his grandfather Ḥasan ibn Rāshid, who said: Abū Ibrāhīm (Imam Kāżim (a.s.)) said: When one leaves his house to go to the Ziyārah of Abī ‘Abdillāh, Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.), Allāh will dedicate an angel to him who will place his finger on the back of the Zā`ir and who will start writing (on his back) every word which comes out of his mouth until he arrives at the Ḥā`ir. After he exits from the doors of the Ḥā`ir, the angel will place his palm on the middle of the back of the Zā`ir and say, “Surely all of your past sins have been forgiven. Therefore, continue with good deeds.” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: My father, from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Muḥammad ibn Khālid Al-Barqi, from Qāsim ibn Yaḥyā ibn Ḥasan ibn Rāshid, from his grandfather Ḥasan ibn Rāshid, from Ibrāhīm ibn Abil Bilād, from Abī Ibrāhīm (a.s.).
8 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) وَ قَدْ أَتَاهُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ خُرَاسَانَ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ إِتْيَانِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) وَ مَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ مَنْ زَارَهُ يُرِيدُ بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ أَخْرَجَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَمَوْلُودٍ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَ شَيَّعَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فِي مَسِيرِهِ فَرَفْرَفَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ قَدْ صَفُّوا بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ سَأَلَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ الْمَغْفِرَةَ لَهُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَ غَشِيَتْهُ الرَّحْمَةُ مِنْ أَعْنَانِ السَّمَاءِ وَ نَادَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ طِبْتَ وَ طَابَ مَنْ زُرْتَ- وَ حُفِظَ فِي أَهْلِهِ
8.

They asked him about going to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) and its rewards. Imam (a.s.) said: My father (a.s.) narrated for me that my grandfather (Imam Sajjād (a.s.)) used to say: Allāh will erase the sins of those who go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) for the sake of Allāh. They will be sinless like a newborn baby. Angels will accompany them on their way (to the Ziyārah) and they will flap and spread their wings over their heads until they return to their families. Angels will seek forgiveness for them from their Lord and call out to them, “You have been blessed and blessed is the one to whose Ziyārah you have come.” They will be covered by the Mercy from the heavens and their families will be protected for them.

Should I go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)?” Imam (a.s.) replied: O Abā Sa’īd! Yes! Go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of the son of the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.), the most blessed of the blessed ones, the most purified of the purified ones, and the most pious of the pious ones; for if you go to his Ziyārah, twenty-two ‘Umrah will be registered for you.
