Tradition 1: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: Perform the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) and do not ignore him. Because he is the leader of youths of Paradise and the chief of martyrs.

Tradition 2: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) was asked in Medina, “Where are the graves of the martyrs?”

Imam ('a) replied: Is not the best martyr buried near you? I swear by One who has my life in His Hand, four thousand angels are present around the grave of Imam Al-Husayn ('a), dishevelled, covered with dust and crying over him till Judgment Day.

Tradition 3: Same as no. 4.

Tradition 4: I (the narrator) went to Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) while I was with him, my bondmaid arrived and said, “I brought the horse for you.”

Imam ('a) asked, “Umm Saeed, what is the horse for and where do you intend to go?”

I replied, “To go for the Ziyarah of the martyrs.

Imam ('a) said, “Postpone it for today. How strange you people of Iraq are? You perform the Ziyarah of martyrs of Uhud from a long distance but forsake the Ziyarah of the Chief of martyrs!”

I asked, “Who is the Chief of martyrs?”

Imam ('a) said, “Husayn Ibn Ali ('a)”.

I said, “I can't go for his Ziyarah, because I am a lady.”

Imam ('a) replied, “There is nothing wrong in ladies going for his Ziyarah.”

I asked, 'What is the reward for it?”

Imam ('a) replied, “Reward of a Hajj and an Umrah, I’tikaf for two months in Masjid Al-Haram while fasting and this and this.” Umm Saeed says that the Imam extended and closed his arms thrice.

Tradition 5: Same as no. 4.

Tradition 6: Almost same as no. 4.

Tradition 7: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: There is no martyr but that he wishes to be with Imam Al-Husayn ('a), so that he can enter Paradise with him.
