Reward of Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.)
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانٍ الْکَلْبِیِّ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ أَرْبَعَهَ آلَافِ مَلَکٍ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ الْحُسَیْنِ ع شُعْثٍ غُبْرٍ یَبْکُونَ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ بَیْنَهُمْ مَلَکٌ یُقَالُ لَهُ مَنْصُورٌ فَلَا یَزُورُهُ زَائِرٌ إِلَّا اسْتَقْبَلُوهُ وَ لَا یُوَدِّعُهُ مُوَدِّعٌ إِلَّا شَیَّعُوهُ وَ لَا یَمْرَضُ إِلَّا عَادُوهُ وَ لَا یَمُوتُ إِلَّا صَلَّوْا عَلَی جِنَازَتِهِ وَ اسْتَغْفَرُوا لَهُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ.
15. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Surely four thousand angels having their hair covered in mud and in distressed state will mourn at the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) till the Day of Judgment. The name of their leader is Mansur. He welcomes the person who comes for Ziyarat. These angels won’t separate from that person. If he falls ill they will treat him, if he dies they attend his funeral prayer and repent for him after his death.”
وَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِیُّ بْنُ حَمْزَهَ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: وَکَّلَ اللَّهُ بِقَبْرِ الْحُسَیْنِ ع سَبْعِینَ أَلْفَ مَلَکٍ یُصَلُّونَ عَلَیْهِ عَدَدَ کُلِّ یَوْمٍ شُعْثٍ غُبْرٍ وَ یَدْعُونَ لِمَنْ زَارَهُ وَ یَقُولُونَ یَا رَبَّنَا هَؤُلَاءِ زُوَّارُ الْحُسَیْنِ افْعَلْ بِهِمْ افْعَلْ بِهِمْ.
16. And it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Ali b. al-Hakam who said it was narrated to us by Ali b. Hamzah from Abi Basir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “The Almighty Allah has appointed seventy thousand angels, distressed and having their hair covered in mud to send salutations on the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) everyday. They pray for the person who comes for Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) saying, “O Lord! These are the visitors of Imam Husain (a.s.) do this and that for them.”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ هَارُونَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ وَکَّلَ اللَّهُ بِقَبْرِ الْحُسَیْنِ ع أَرْبَعَهَ آلَافِ مَلَکٍ شُعْثٍ غُبْرٍ یَبْکُونَهُ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ فَمَنْ زَارَهُ عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ شَیَّعُوهُ حَتَّی یُبْلِغُوهُ مَأْمَنَهُ وَ إِنْ مَرِضَ عَادُوهُ غُدْوَهً وَ عَشِیّاً وَ إِنْ مَاتَ شَهِدُوا جِنَازَتَهُ وَ اسْتَغْفَرُوا لَهُ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ.
17. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “The Almighty Allah has appointed four thousand angels at the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.). They will mourn over Imam (a.s.) with their hair covered in dust and in a distressed state till the Day of Judgment. One who goes for the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) knowing his right, angels will go with him till he returns to his homeland. If he falls ill they would treat him day and night. If he dies they would attend his funeral prayer and repent for him till the Day of Judgment.”
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ بَزِیعٍ عَنْ أَبِی إِسْمَاعِیلَ السَّرَّاجِ عَنْ یَحْیَی بْنِ مَعْمَرٍ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: أَرْبَعَهُ آلَافِ مَلَکٍ شُعْثٍ غُبْرٍ یَبْکُونَ الْحُسَیْنَ ع إِلَی أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَهُ فَلَا یَأْتِیهِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا اسْتَقْبَلُوهُ وَ لَا یَرْجِعُ إِلَّا شَیَّعُوهُ وَ لَا یَمْرَضُ إِلَّا عَادُوهُ وَ لَا یَمُوتُ إِلَّا شَهِدُوهُ.
18. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hussain from Muhammad b. Ismail b. Bazee’ from Abi Ismail al-Sarraj from Yahya b. Mu’ammar al-’Attar from Abi Basir from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “Four thousand angels are appointed at the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) with their hair covered in mud and in a distressed state. They will mourn Imam Husain (a.s.) till the Day of Judgment. They welcome whoever comes for the Ziyarat and that person does not return until they accompany him. He does not fall ill but that they come to treat him. He does not die but that they attend his funeral prayer.”
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِیسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نَاجِیَهَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ کَثِیرٍ السَّرَّاجِ النَّهْدِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ لِی کَمْ بَیْنَکُمْ وَ بَیْنَ الْحُسَیْنِ ع قَالَ قُلْتُ یَوْمٌ لِلرَّاکِبِ وَ یَوْمٌ وَ بَعْضٌ لِلْمَاشِی قَالَ أَ فَتَأْتِیهِ کُلَّ جُمُعَهٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا مَا آتِیهِ إِلَّا فِی الْجُمُعَتَیْنِ قَالَ مَا أَجْفَاکَ أَمَا لَوْ کَانَ قَرِیباً مِنَّا لَاتَّخَذْنَاهُ هِجْرَهً أَیْ نُهَاجِرُ إِلَیْهِ.
19. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) asked Abul Jarud, “How far is the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) from your house?” He replied, “If I go on a mount it takes a day to reach and if I walk, it takes a little more than that.” Imam asked, “Do you go for Ziyarat every Friday?” He replied, “No, but I go whenever I get time.” Imam said, “You are unjust. If this place would have been near my home I would have migrated over there.”
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ کَثِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی نُمَیْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّ وَلَایَتَنَا عُرِضَتْ عَلَی أَهْلِ الْأَمْصَارِ فَلَمْ یَقْبَلْهَا قَبُولَ أَهْلِ الْکُوفَهِ بِشَیْ ءٍ وَ ذَلِکَ أَنَّ قَبْرَ عَلِیٍّ ع فِیهِ وَ أَنَّ لِیَ الزُّلْفَهَ لِقَبْرٍ آخَرَ یَعْنِی قَبْرَ الْحُسَیْنِ وَ مَا مِنْ آتٍ أَتَاهُ یُصَلِّی عِنْدَهُ رَکْعَتَیْنِ أَوْ أَرْبَعاً ثُمَّ یَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ حَاجَتَهُ إِلَّا قَضَاهَا لَهُ وَ إِنَّهُ لَتَحُفُّهُ کُلَّ یَوْمٍ أَلْفُ مَلَکٍ.
20. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says, “Our Wilayat was presented to the people of various cities but no one accepted us like the people of Kufa. This is so because the holy grave of Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.) is over there and there is one more grave near him i.e. the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.). One who comes for the Ziyarat, offers a two-four rakat Salaat near the grave and seeks desires from Allah his desires would be fulfilled immediately. Surely one thousand angels surround the grave daily.”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ یَرْفَعُهُ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا زُرْتَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَزُرْهُ وَ أَنْتَ حَزِینٌ مَکْرُوبٌ شَعِثٌ مُغْبَرٌّ جَائِعٌ عَطْشَانُ فَإِنَّ الْحُسَیْنَ ع قُتِلَ حَزِیناً مَکْرُوباً شَعِثاً مُغْبَرّاً جَائِعاً عَطْشَاناً وَ اسْأَلْهُ الْحَوَائِجَ وَ انْصَرِفْ عَنْهُ وَ لَا تَتَّخِذْهُ وَطَناً.
21. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan (rah) who said it was narrated to us by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Ali b. al-Hakam who raised it to Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “When you go for the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.), visit him in a state of grief, face covered with dust, hair uncombed, hungry and thirsty because when Imam Husain (a.s.) was martyred, he was aggrieved and gloomy. His hair was covered in mud; he was troubled, hungry and thirsty. Seek your desires over there and return. Do not make that place your home.”
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ السِّنْدِیِّ الْجَمَّالِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ رِقَّهَ یُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو الْمَضَا قَالَ قَالَ لِی رَجُلٌ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع تَأْتُونَ قَبْرَ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ تَتَّخِدُونَ لِذَلِکَ سُفْرَهً قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَمَا لَوْ أَتَیْتُمْ قُبُورَ آبَائِکُمْ أَوْ أُمَّهَاتِکُمْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا ذَلِکَ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَیَّ شَیْ ءٍ نَأْکُلُ قَالَ الْخُبْزَ بِاللَّبَنِ.
22. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) asked a narrator, “Do you go for the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.)?” He replied, “Yes.” Imam enquired, “Do you carry necessary belongings on the journey?” He replied, “Yes.” Imam said, “You won’t do this when you visit the grave of your parents!” He asked, “Then what should we eat?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Milk and bread.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع بَلَغَنِی أَنَّ قَوْماً إِذَا زَارُوا الْحُسَیْنَ ع حَمَلُوا مَعَهُمُ السُّفْرَهَ فِیهَا الْجِدَاءُ وَ الأخصبه [الْأَخْبِصَهُ] وَ أَشْبَاهُهُ لَوْ زَارُوا قُبُورَ أَحِبَّائِهِمْ مَا حَمَلُوا مَعَهُمْ هَذَا.
23. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “I have been informed that when some people come for the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) they carry sweet eatables with them but they don’t do so when they visit the graves of their loved ones!”
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِیلَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ بَشِیرٍ الدَّهَّانِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَیُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ زَارَ الْحُسَیْنَ بْنَ عَلِیٍّ ع عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ فِی غَیْرِ یَوْمِ عِیدٍ کُتِبَتْ لَهُ عِشْرُونَ حِجَّهً وَ عِشْرُونَ عُمْرَهً مَبْرُورَاتٍ مُتَقَبَّلَاتٍ وَ عِشْرُونَ غَزْوَهً مَعَ نَبِیٍّ مُرْسَلٍ أَوْ إِمَامٍ عَادِلٍ.
24. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says, “If a believer does the Ziyarat of the grave of Imam Husain (a.s.) knowing his right on any day except Eid he would get the reward of twenty accepted Hajjs, twenty Umrahs and twenty battles fought along with the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) or a just Imam.”
