Chapter 82: Praying In Full At The Grave Of Imam Al-Husayn ('A)

Tradition 1: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) was asked, “Should I perform the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a)?”

Imam ('a) replied, “Perform the Ziyarah of the Blessed One and pray in full form near his grave.”

I asked, “Pray in full form besides him?” Imam ('a) replied, “In full form.”

I said, “But some of our companions narrate that prayers should be prayed in short?”

Imam ('a) replied, “Those who are (physically) weak can do so.”

Tradition 2: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: You can pray the obligatory prayers in full in three locations: Masjid Al-Haram, Masjid of the Messenger and grave of Imam Al-Husayn ('a).

Tradition 3: Same as no. 2.

Tradition 4: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: The following is among the rulings in Allah's knowledge: that a traveller can pray in full in four locations: in Mecca, Medina, Masjid Kufa Masjid and tomb of Imam Al-Husayn ('a).

Tradition 5: Same as no. 4.

Tradition 6: Imam Al-Kadhim (‘a) said, “I love for you that which I love for myself and I hate for you that which I hate for myself. Pray in full in the two sanctuaries, in Kufa Masjid and at the tomb of Imam Al-Husayn ('a).”

Tradition 7,8 & 9: Same as no. 4.

Tradition 10: Imam Al-Kadhim ('a) was asked, “Should pray in short or in full when I am in Masjid Al-Haram?”

Imam ('a) replied, “You have the choice of praying in short but it is better you pray in full, because doing more good is always a blessing.”
