Tradition 1: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: On fifteenth Shaban, an announcer announces from the highest horizon: O visitors of Imam Al-Husayn ('a), return forgiven and your rewards will be given by Allah, your Lord and by Muhammad, your Prophet.

Tradition 2: Imam As-Sajjad ('a) said: One who would like a hundred and twenty four thousand prophets to shake hands with him, should perform the Ziyarah of the Imam Al-Husayn ('a) on fifteenth Shaban; because the souls of the prophets ('a), including the five ‘Ul al-Azm messengers, ask permission from Allah for his Ziyarah and they will be granted it.

We asked, “Who are the five ‘Ul al-Azm (prophets)?” Imam ('a) replied, “Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, Isa and Muhammad.”

We asked, “What does ‘Ul al-Azm mean?”

Imam ('a) replied, “Prophets sent to all jinns and mankind.”

Tradition 5: Imam Al-Baqir ('a) said: Sins of one who performs the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) on fifteenth Shaban will be forgiven and no sins will be recorded for him in that year.

Tradition 6: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: Allah will forgive all the past and future sins of one who performs the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) on one of the three eves.

I asked, “May I be sacrificed on you, what are the three eves?”

Imam ('a) replied, “Eve of ‘Eid al-Fitr, eve of ‘Eid al-Adha and eve of fifteenth Shaban.”

Tradition 7: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: Allah will record a thousand accepted Hajj and a thousand accepted Umrahs and will grant a thousand requests pertaining to his life and Hereafter for one who performs the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) on the eve of fifteenth Shaban, on the eve of ‘Eid al-Fitr and on night of Arafah, all in the same year.

Tradition 8: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: Allah will appoint two angels on one who spends the eve of fifteenth Shaban in Karbala and who do the following:

Recite Surah Tauhid a thousand times, seek forgiveness from Allah a thousand times, praise Allah a thousand times and then perform four Rakats prayer reciting Ayat ul-Kursi a thousand times in each Rakat after Surah Hamd.

The two angels will protect him from any harm and from all the evil of every Shaitan and every ruler. They will only record their good deeds and no sin will be recorded for him. The two angels will continuously seek forgiveness for him as long as they are with them.

Tradition 10: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: O Yunus, Allah will forgive all past and future sins of the believer who performs the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) on the eve of fifteenth Shaban and he will be told, “Continue with good deeds.”

I said, “All of this will be for one who performs the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) on fifteenth Shaban?”

Imam ('a) replied, “O Yunus, if I tell people about that which will be given to one who performs the Ziyarah of Imam Al-Husayn ('a) on this night, they would travel riding on a piece of wood placed on the back of saddleless camels to go to him.”

Tradition 11: Same points as mentioned before.
