Chapter 61: Ziyarah Of Imam Al-Husayn ('A) Increases Lifespan And Sustenance; Forsaking It Shortens Life And Decrease Sustenance
Tradition 1: Imam Al-Baqir ('a) said: Order our Shias to visit the grave of Imam Al-Husayn ('a), because his Ziyarah increases sustenance, prolongs life and keeps afflictions away.
And his Ziyarah is obligatory on every believer who believes that Husayn ('a) is an Imam appointed by Allah.
Tradition 2: Imam ('a) said: If a full year passes and one does not perform the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a), a year from his life will be reduced by Allah.
If I tell you that some of you die thirty years before your time of death, I have said the truth and this is because you ignore the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a). So don't omit the Ziyarah, for Allah will prolong your lives and increase sustenance. But if you ignore it, Allah will shorten your lives and reduce your sustenance. Compete with one another in his Ziyarah and don't forsake it. Indeed, Husayn ('a) will bear witness on your behalf regarding this to Allah, His Messenger, Fatimah and Amir Al-Mu’minin ('a).
Tradition 3: Same as no. 2.
Tradition 4: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: Perform the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) even if it is once a year. Anyone, who performs it with recognition of his rights and without denying his position, will be rewarded with Paradise, increase in sustenance and immediate happiness, which will be brought to him by Allah.
Tradition 5: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: Don't omit the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) and ask your friends to go to his Ziyarah, because Allah will prolong your life, increase sustenance, allow you to live a life of bliss and die a blissful death, as well as record you among the successful ones.
