Tradition 1: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: One who performs Ghusl with Euphrates water and then performs the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) become sinless like the day of his birth, even if he has committed major sins. It is recommended to do Ghusl before Ziyarah and not when bidding farewell; on the contrary to wipe one's hands over the face when bidding farewell.

Tradition 2, 3,4: Same points as mentioned before.

Tradition 5: Imam Hadi ('a) said: One who leaves his home for the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn (‘a) and goes to Euphrates and performs ghusl in it will be recorded by Allah as one who has achieved salvation. And once he salutes Imam Al-Husayn ('a) he will be· recorded as the delivered one. After his prayers, an angel will come to him and say:

Allah's Messenger conveys peace on you and tells you that your sins have been forgiven and that you should begin again with good deeds.”

Tradition 6: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) used to recite as follows when he performed the ghusl of Ziyarah:

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ لِي نُوراً وَ طَهُوراً- وَ حِرْزاً وَ كَافِياً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ وَ سُقْمٍ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ آفَةٍ وَ عَاهَةٍ وَ طَهِّرْ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ جَوَارِحِي وَ لَحْمِي وَ دَمِي وَ شَعْرِي وَ بَشَرِي وَ مُخِّي وَ عِظَامِي وَ عَصَبِي وَ مَا أَقَلَّتِ الْأَرْضُ مِنِّي- فَاجْعَلْهُ لِي شَاهِداً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ يَوْمَ حَاجَتِي وَ فَقْرِي وَ فَاقَتِي

Translation: O Allah! Make this water as light, purification and protection for me. And make it prevention from every illness and disease and from every disability and injury. And purify my heart, organs, flesh, blood, hair, skin, brain, bones, nerves and my mass with it. And make it my witness on Judgment Day: the day of my need, poverty and hunger.

Tradition 7: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: One who goes for the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) and performs Wudhu and Ghusl with Euphrates water does not raise his foot or places it down without Allah recording a Hajj and an Umrah for him.

Tradition 8: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: When you go the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a), go to the part of Euphrates closest to his grave and perform Ghusl in it.

Tradition 9: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: When a person travels to the grave of Imam Al-Husayn ('a), with recognition of his rights, arrives at Euphrates and performs ghusl in it, he will be like one who has stepped out of his sins as soon as he steps out of the water. And Allah will record ten good deeds for him and erase ten sins for every step he takes as he walks to the holy sanctuary.
