Chapter 52: Visitors Of Imam Al-Husayn ('A) Are Neighbours Of Allah's Messenger, Amir Al-Mu’minin And Fatimah ('A)

Tradition 1: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: One who want to be in the neighbourhood of the Prophet, Ali and Fatimah, should not omit the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn (‘a).

Tradition 2: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) or Imam Al-Baqir ('a) said: One who wants his destination and abode to be Paradise, should not omit the Ziyarah of the oppressed one (of Karbala).

I asked, “Who is the oppressed one?”

Imam ('a) replied: Imam Al-Husayn ('a), man of Karbala. The Almighty Allah will make one who goes to his Ziyarah longing for him and with love for Allah's Messenger, love for Fatimah and love for Amir Al-Mu’minin, sit at the dinner tables of Paradise. He will be eating with his chiefs while others undergo the process of Judgment.

Tradition 3: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: Allah, the blessed and exalted, has appointed some angels at the grave of Imam Al-Husayn ('a). When someone decides to perform the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) and performs Ghusl, Prophet Muhammad (S) will call out to him:

“O guest of Allah! Glad tidings for you, you will be with me in Paradise.”
