Tradition 1: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: “Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) is equal to a Hajj and an Umrah and this much reward.” The narrator says that Imam ('a) opened and closed his arms thrice.

Tradition 2: Same as Chapter 64, no. 3.

Tradition 3: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) was asked, “What is the reward for one who performs the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a)?”

Imam ('a) replied, “Allah has appointed four thousand angels on Husayn ('a) who are dishevelled covered with dust, who cry on him till Judgment Day.”

The narrator asked, “May my parents be sacrificed on you, it is narrated from your father ('a) that Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) is equal to a Hajj and an Umrah?”

Imam ('a) replied, “Yes, a Hajj and an Umrah, a Hajj and an Umrah.”

The narrator says that Imam ('a) counted ten Hajj and Umrahs.

Tradition 4: Same as no. 1.

Tradition 5: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) is equivalent to a Hajj and after one has performed obligatory Hajj, it is equivalent to a Hajj and an Umrah.

Tradition 6: Imam Ar-Ridha’ ('a) said: One who performs the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) has performed a Hajj and an Umrah.

I (the narrator) asked, “Does it replace Hajj of Islam?”

Imam ('a) replied: No, it is recorded as Hajj for one who does not have the means of going to Hajj until the means become available to him to perform Hajj of the sacred house of Allah. Don't you know that everyday seventy thousand angels circulate the Ka’aba till nightfall, after which they ascend back to heavens and are replaced by other angels who circulate the House until morning?

Indeed, Husayn ('a) is more honourable to Allah than the House. Seventy thousand angels, dishevelled and covered with dust descend to his grave at each prayer time and they will not get another opportunity to do so until Judgment Day.

Tradition 7: Same as Chapter 64, no. 3.

Tradition 8, 9 10: Same points as in previous traditions.

Tradition 11, 12, 13: Same point as mentioned before.

Tradition 14: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) was asked, “May I be sacrificed on you! What is the reward for one who performs the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) and prays two Rakats near his grave?”

Imam ('a) replied, “A Hajj and an Umrah will be written for him.”

I asked, “May I be sacrificed on you! Is it the same for one who goes to the Ziyarah of any Imam whose obedience Allah has made obligatory?”

Imam ('a) replied, “It is same for one who performs the Ziyarah of any Imam whose obedience Allah has made obligatory.” ·

Tradition 15: I was with Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) when a group of people riding donkeys passed by.

Imam ('a) asked, “Where are they going?” I replied, “To the graves of Uhud Martyrs.”

Imam ('a) asked, “What restrains them from going to the Ziyarah of the lonely martyrs?”

An Iraqi asked, “Is going to his Ziyarah obligatory?”

Imam ('a) replied, “His Ziyarah is better than performing a Hajj and an Umrah and another Hajj and Umrah and another Hajj and Umrah and he continued till he said it is better than twenty Hajj and twenty Umrahs and then he added it is better than twenty accepted Hajj and Umrahs.”

The narrator says: By Allah·, I did not leave the Imam ('a) until a man came to him and said, “I have performed Hajj nineteen times. Please pray for me that Allah bestows me with the twentieth.”

Imam (‘a) asked, “Have you performed the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn (‘a)?” · ·

The man replied, “No.”

Imam (a’) said, “His Ziyarah is better than twenty Hajj.”
