Chapter 62: Ziyarah Of Imam Al-Husayn ('A) Erases Sins
Tradition 1: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: Visitor of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) places his sins at the door of his house like a bridge and leaves them behind, crossing it in the same way as one leaves a bridge behind after crossing it.
Tradition 2: Same points as mentioned before.
Tradition 3: Same as Chapter 49, Tradition no.3.
Tradition 4: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: When you intend to return from the grave of Imam Al-Husayn ('a), an announcer will announce to you. If you heard that call, you would stay there for the rest of your life.
The announcer will say, “Glad tidings to you, O servant of Allah! Surely you have succeeded, and you are safe. Surely your past sins have been forgiven. So, continue with good deeds.”
Tradition 5: Imam Al-Kadhim ('a) said: The least reward for one who performs the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) by the banks of Euphrates with recognition of his rights and believing in his sanctity and Wilayat is that his past and future sins will be forgiven.
Tradition 6: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: One who wants to be honoured by Allah and be included in the intercession of Muhammad on Judgment Day should perform the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a). The Almighty Allah will honour him with the best honour and rewards and not question him for any sins committed during his life, even if they are as numerous as grains of sand or as great as mountains of Tahamah or as much as foam in the seas. When Husayn Ibn Ali ('a) was martyred:
Firstly: He was oppressed
Secondly: He was dealt with unjustly
Thirdly: He, his family and companions were thirsty.
Tradition 7: Imam Al-Kadhim ('a) said: When one sets out to perform the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a), Allah will appoint an angel on him who will place his finger on his back and will begin writing each word that comes out of his mouth till he arrives at the shrine.
After he exits the shrine gates, the angel will place his palm on the middle of his back and says, “All your past sins have been forgiven; so continue with the good deeds.”
Tradition 8: Imam As-Sajjad ('a) said: Allah will forgive the sins of one who performs the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) for the sake of divine pleasure. He will become sinless like a newborn child. Angels will accompany them all way and spread their wings over them till they return home. Angels will seek forgiveness for them and call out to them, “You are blessed and blessed is one whose Ziyarah you performed.” He will be continuously protected along with his kin.
