Tradition 1: Imam Jawad ('a) said: One who performs the Ziyarah of the grave of my father will be rewarded with Paradise.

Tradition 2: Same as no. 1.

Tradition 3: Imam Jawad ('a) was asked, “What is the reward for one who performs the Ziyarah of your father ('a) in Tus?”

Imam ('a) replied, “Allah forgives the past and future sins of one who performs the Ziyarah of the grave of my father ('a) in Tus.”

Then I (the narrator) met Ayyub Ibn Nuh Ibn Durraj and said to him, “O Abal Husayn! I heard my master, Imam Jawad ('a) say, 'Allah forgives the past and future sins of one who performs the Ziyarah of the grave of my father ('a) in Tus.”

Ayyub said, “Should I tell you more about this?” I replied, “Yes.”

He said, “I heard him say, 'Indeed, on Judgment Day, a pulpit will be placed beside the pulpit of Allah's Messenger for one who performs the Ziyarah of my father ('a), while the other people complete the accounting.”

Tradition 4: Imam Ar-Ridha’ ('a) said: One who performs my Ziyarah, even though my house is far and my grave is distant, will be visited by me on three occasions:

A: On Judgment Day and I will save him from its terrors: when the scrolls will be spread on right and left

B: At the Bridge

C: By the Scale

Tradition 5: One day when the children of Imam Al-Kadhim ('a) were gathered around him, Imam Ar-Ridha’ ('a), who was young at the time, passed by him.

Imam Al-Kadhim ('a) said: This son of mine will die lonely in a distant land. Indeed, one who performs his Ziyarah submitting to him and with recognition of his rights will be regarded by Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, as a martyr of Badr.

Tradition 6: Same as no. 3.

Tradition 7: I said to Imam Jawad ('a): Let's suppose a person decides to go for his obligatory Hajj after having performed Umrah at-Tamattu and Allah helps and he completes his Hajj and Umrah. Then he goes to Medina, salutes Allah's Messenger, then comes to you, believing in your rights and knowing that you are Allah's Proof on His creation and the door to Allah and says, 'Peace be on you'.

Then he performs the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) and salutes him and then he goes to Baghdad and salutes Imam Al-Kadhim ('a) and then returns to his home country.

If Allah sustains this person in the next year with enough wealth to go for Hajj again, is it better for him to repeat the Hajj as he did in the last year or to go to Khurasan for the Ziyarah of your father, Imam Ar-Ridha’ ('a) and salute him?

Imam ('a) replied: It is better to go to Khurasan and salute Imam Ar-Ridha’ ('a). He should go in the month of Rajab, but this is not applicable now, because there is fear for us and for you from the ruler and it enrages him.”

Tradition 8: Same as no. 1.

Tradition 9: Imam Ar-Ridha’ ('a) said: Tell my Shia that coming to my Ziyarah equals a thousand Hajj in the view of Allah.

So, Imam Jawad ('a) was asked, “A thousand Hajj?” Imam ('a) replied, “By Allah, yes! And it is a million Hajj for one who goes to his Ziyarah with recognition of his rights.”

Tradition 10: Imam Al-Kadhim ('a) said: One who performs the Ziyarah of this son of mine - Imam Ar-Ridha’ ('a) - will be rewarded with Paradise.

Tradition 11: Imam Jawad ('a) was asked, “May I be sacrificed on you, is the Ziyarah of Imam Ar-Ridha’ ('a) better or the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a)?”

Imam ('a) replied, “Ziyarah of my father ('a) is better, it is so, because everyone goes to the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) but only our chosen and sincere Shia perform the Ziyarah of my father ('a).”

Tradition 12: Imam Al-Kadhim ('a) said, “Allah will record seventy accepted Hajj for one who performs the Ziyarah of the grave of my son.” I asked, “Seventy Hajj?” Imam (‘a) replied, “Yes and even seven hundred Hajj.” I asked, “Seven hundred Hajj?!” Imam ('a) replied, “Yes, and even seventy thousand Hajj.” I asked, “Seventy thousand Hajj?”

Imam (‘a) replied, “Yes and going to Hajj is not always accepted, but one who performs his Ziyarah and spends the night besides him is like one who visits Allah on His Throne.” I asked, “Like one who visits Allah on His Throne?!”

Imam ('a) replied, “Yes, on Judgment Day, there will be four people from the past nations and four people from the last nation on the Throne of Allah. The four from the past are Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa and Isa ('a) and the four people from the last are Muhammad, Ali, Hasan and Husayn- Allah's blessings be on them all. Then a barrier will be extended and only those who have gone to the Ziyarah of the graves of the Imams ('a) will sit with us. Indeed, the highest in rank and closest to us who will be honoured will be those who have performed the Ziyarah of my son, Ali.
