Chapter 55: Reward Of One Who Performs The Ziyarah Of Imam Al-Husayn ('A) In His Love For Allah's Messenger, Amir Al-Mu’minin And Fatimah ('A)

Tradition 1: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: On Judgment Day, an announcer will call out, “Where are the visitors of Husayn Ibn Ali (‘a)?”

A large number of people, who cannot be counted by anyone other than the Almighty Allah, will come forward.

Then Allah will ask them, “What impelled you to perform the Ziyarah of Husayn (‘a)?

They will reply, “O Lord! We went to him for our love for Allah's Messenger and love for Ali and Fatimah and to sympathize with him for all that which was committed against him.”

They will be told, “Here are Muhammad, Ali Fatimah, Hasan and Husayn ('a); join them, for you will be with them at their stage in Paradise. Follow the standard of Allah's Messenger (S).”

So, they will go to the standard of Allah's Messenger (S), which will be held by Ali ('a); they will remain under it, before it, to its right, to its left and behind it, until all of them enter Paradise.

Tradition 2: Same as Chapter 52, Tradition no. 2.

Tradition 3: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: When Allah intends good for a person, He places the love of Husayn ('a) and the love of his Ziyarah in his heart. When Allah intends evil for a person1, He places the hatred of Husayn (‘a) and the hatred of his Ziyarah in his heart.

  • 1. Actually, the Almighty Allah does not intend evil for anyone, it is chosen by the persons himself. For details refer to the exegesis of Verse 13:11.
