1. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from his father, from ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad ibn Sālim, from Muḥammad ibn Khālid, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ḥammād Al-Basri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān Al-Asam, from Mu’ādh, from Abān, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Those who go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain (a.s.)) have connected with the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) and with us. It is unlawful to slander them and it is unlawful for Hell to touch their flesh. (Verily) Allāh will compensate them for every Dirham they spent (during their Ziyārah) with ten thousand cities which will be registered for them in a written book. Allāh will look after all of their needs and everything that they leave behind will be protected for them. They will not ask Allāh for anything without Allāh granting it either immediately or in the future. The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: Muḥammad ibn Hammām ibn Suhayl, from Ja’far ibn Muḥammad ibn Mālik, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ḥammād, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān Al-Asam, from Mu’ādh, from Abān, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.).

2 وَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ الْبَصْرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا تَقُولُ فِيمَنْ تَرَكَ زِيَارَتَهُ وَ هُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ أَقُولُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ عَقَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (ص) وَ عَقَّنَا وَ اسْتَخَفَّ بِأَمْرٍ هُوَ لَهُ وَ مَنْ زَارَهُ كَانَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حَوَائِجِهِ- وَ كُفِيَ مَا أَهَمَّهُ مِنْ أَمْرِ دُنْيَاهُ وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَجْلِبُ الرِّزْقَ عَلَى الْعَبْدِ وَ يُخْلِفُ عَلَيْهِ مَا أَنْفَقَ- وَ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ ذُنُوبَ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً وَ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ مَا عَلَيْهِ وِزْرٌ وَ لَا خَطِيئَةٌ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ مُحِيَتْ مِنْ صَحِيفَتِهِ فَإِنْ هَلَكَ فِي سَفَرِهِ نَزَلَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فَغَسَّلَتْهُ وَ فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ وَ يَدْخُلُ [وَ فُتِحَ لَهُ بَابٌ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ يَدْخُلُ] عَلَيْهِ رَوْحُهَا حَتَّى يُنْشَرَ وَ إِنْ سَلِمَ فُتِحَ لَهُ الْبَابُ الَّذِي يَنْزِلُ مِنْهُ الرِّزْقُ وَ يُجْعَلُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ دِرْهَمٍ أَنْفَقَهُ عَشَرَةُ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ ذُخِرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَإِذَا حُشِرَ قِيلَ لَهُ لَكَ بِكُلِّ دِرْهَمٍ عَشَرَةُ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ نَظَرَ لَكَ وَ ذَخَرَهَا لَكَ عِنْدَهُ

2. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from his father, from ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad ibn Sālim, from Muḥammad ibn Khālid, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ḥammād Al-Basri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān Al-Asam, from Ḥusain, from Al-Ḥalabi, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)), “May I sacrifice myself for you! What do you say about someone who has the ability to go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) but does not?” Imam (a.s.) replied: I say that he has disowned the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) and disowned us. He has belittled a matter that is obligatory on him. Verily Allāh will look after the needs of those who go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) and will take care of every matter that is important to them in this life. Verily going to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) increases the sustenance of the slaves (of Allāh) and they will be recompensed for the money that they spend (in the Ziyārah). Verily fifty years of sin will be forgiven for them and they will return to their families having every sin and mistake erased from their book (of deeds). If they die during their Ziyārah, the angels will descend and perform their ablution (Ghusl). The doors of Paradise will be opened for them and its fragrance will surround them until the Day of Resurrection. If they do not die during their Ziyārah, the door from which sustenance descends will be opened for them and they will be compensated with ten thousand Dirhams for every Dirham they spent (during their Ziyārah) and it (their recompense) will be kept safely for them. Therefore, when they are resurrected, they will be told, “You have ten thousand Dirhams for every Dirham you spent and Allāh has postponed (your recompense) and kept it safely for you with Himself.”

3 وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ هَلْ يُزَارُ وَالِدُكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ يُصَلَّى عِنْدَهُ وَ يُصَلَّى خَلْفَهُ وَ لَا يُتَقَدَّمُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَمَا لِمَنْ أَتَاهُ قَالَ الْجَنَّةُ إِنْ كَانَ يَأْتَمُّ بِهِ قَالَ فَمَا لِمَنْ تَرَكَهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ قَالَ الْحَسْرَةُ يَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ قَالَ فَمَا لِمَنْ أَقَامَ عِنْدَهُ قَالَ كُلُّ يَوْمٍ بِأَلْفِ شَهْرٍ قَالَ فَمَا لِلْمُنْفِقِ فِي خُرُوجِهِ إِلَيْهِ وَ الْمُنْفِقِ عِنْدَهُ قَالَ الدِّرْهَمُ بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ

3. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from his father, from ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad ibn Sālim, from Muḥammad ibn Khālid, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ḥammād Al-Basri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān Al-Asam, from Hishām ibn Sālim, who said: A man came to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) and asked, “O son of the Messenger of Allāh! Should one go to the Ziyārah of your father?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Yes and establish prayers next to his grave. But one should not pray in front of the grave, but rather, should stand behind it when establishing prayers.” The man asked, “What is the reward for those who go to his Ziyārah?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Paradise, (but only) if they believe in his Imamate.” The man asked, “What about those who neglect his Ziyārah intentionally?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “(They will) regret (it) on the Day of Regret.” The man asked, “What about those who stay (a few days) by his grave?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Every day will be equal to one thousand months (of worship).” The man asked, “What about those who spend money while traveling to his Ziyārah and who give charity near his grave?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Every Dirham is equal to one thousand Dirhams.”

4 وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ أَبَاكَ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي الْحَجِّ يُحْسَبُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ دِرْهَمٍ أَنْفَقَهُ أَلْفُ دِرْهَمٍ فَمَا لِمَنْ يُنْفِقُ فِي الْمَسِيرِ إِلَى أَبِيكَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ سِنَانٍ يُحْسَبُ لَهُ بِالدِّرْهَمِ أَلْفٌ وَ أَلْفٌ حَتَّى عَدَّ عَشَرَةً وَ يُرْفَعُ لَهُ مِنَ الدَّرَجَاتِ مِثْلُهَا وَ رِضَا اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَ دُعَاءُ مُحَمَّدٍ (ص) وَ دُعَاءُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ

4. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from his father, from ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad ibn Sālim, from Muḥammad ibn Khālid, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ḥammād Al-Basri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān Al-Asam, from Ibn Sinān, who said: I said to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)): May I sacrifice myself for you! Your father (a.s.) used to say that those who spend money going to Hajj will be recompensed with one thousand Dirhams for every Dirham they spent. Therefore, what is the reward for those who spend money traveling to your father, Ḥusain (a.s.)? Imam (a.s.) replied: O son of Sinān! For every Dirham they spend, they will be recompensed with one thousand plus one thousand plus… Dirhams – and he repeated that ten times. Furthermore, their status will be elevated to the same degree. However, they will benefit even more (handsomely) from the pleasure of Allāh and the praying of Muḥammad (s.a.a.w.), the Commander of the Believers (a.s.), and the Imams (a.s.) (because of their Ziyārah).

5 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارِ عَنِ الْعَمْرَكِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى وَ كَانَ فِي خِدْمَةِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي (ع) عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) فِي حَدِيثٍ لَهُ طَوِيلٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمَا لِمَنْ صَلَّى عِنْدَهُ يَعْنِي الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) قَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى عِنْدَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يَسْأَلِ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ فَقُلْتُ فَمَا لِمَنِ اغْتَسَلَ مِنْ مَاءِ الْفُرَاتِ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ قَالَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنْ مَاءِ الْفُرَاتِ وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُهُ تَسَاقَطَتْ عَنْهُ خَطَايَاهُ كَيَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ قُلْتُ فَمَا لِمَنْ جَهَّزَ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ لِعِلَّةٍ قَالَ يُعْطِيهِ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ دِرْهَمٍ أَنْفَقَهُ مِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ مِثْلَ جَبَلِ أُحُدٍ وَ يُخْلِفُ عَلَيْهِ أَضْعَافَ مَا أَنْفَقَ وَ يَصْرِفُ عَنْهُ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ مِمَّا قَدْ نَزَلَ فَيُدْفَعُ وَ يُحْفَظُ فِي مَالِهِ وَ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ

5. My father narrated to me from Aḥmad ibn Idrīs, and from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā Al-‘Aťťār, from ‘Amraki ibn ‘Ali, from Yaḥyā – the servant of Abī Ja’far the Second (Imam Jawād (a.s.)), from ‘Ali, from Safwān Al-Jammāl, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) – as part of a longer Ḥadīth, – “What is the reward for those who establish prayers next to him – referring to Ḥusain (a.s.)?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Those who establish two Rak’ah of prayers next to him will not ask anything from Allāh, the Exalted, without Allāh granting it.” I asked, “What about those who perform Ghusl with the water of the Euphrates (River) and then go to him?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “If they perform Ghusl with the water of the Euphrates (River) with the intention of going to him, their sins will fall off of them (and they will become sinless) like the day their mothers gave birth to them.” I asked, “What about those who make arrangements for others to go but they do not go themselves because of being ill?” Imam (a.s.) replied: Allāh will recompense them for every Dirham that they have spent (making the arrangement for others) with rewards as great as the mountain of Uḥud and will sustain them with multiple amounts. Furthermore, the afflictions which had been destined for them will be pushed away and their wealth will be protected.
