Tradition 1: Imam Al-Kadhim ('a) was asked about going to the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a). He replied, “I don't want you to omit it.”

I (the narrator) asked, “What is your opinion about performing recommended prayers there if I am supposed to shorten prayers?”

Imam ('a) replied, “You can perform as many recommended prayers as you like in Masjid Al-Haram, Masjid of the Messenger and at the grave of Imam Al-Husayn ('a). I love (doing) that.”

I asked, “Can I perform recommended prayers at the grave of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) during the day?”

Imam ('a) replied, “Yes.”

Tradition 2: Same as no. 1

Tradition 3: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) was asked about praying in the holy sanctuary. Imam ('a) replied, “One should only perform obligatory prayers in short and he does not have to pray Nafilah.”

Tradition 4-5: Same as no. 1.

Tradition 6: I (the narrator) asked Imam Al-Kadhim ('a) if a person who is supposed to shorten obligatory prayers, pray near the grave of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) in the holy sites and in the two Holy Sanctuaries.

Imam replied: Yes, pray as many optional prayers as you can.
