1. Ja’far ibn Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn ‘Ubaydillāh ibn Mūsā ibn Ja’far narrated to me from ‘Abdillāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Nahīk, from Muḥammad ibn Abī ‘Umayr, from Ḥusain Al-Aḥmasi, from Um Sa’īd Al-Aḥmasiyyah, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) about (the reward for) going to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.). Imam (a.s.) replied, “It is equal to one Hajj and one ‘Umrah and this much reward.” Um Sa’īd added that the Imam (a.s.) stretched open his arms and closed them (three times).

2 وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نَهِيكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) مَا يُقَالُ إِنَّ زِيَارَةَ قَبْرِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) تَعْدِلُ حِجَّةً وَ عُمْرَةً فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا الْحَجُّ وَ الْعُمْرَةُ هَاهُنَا وَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَرَادَ الْحَجَّ وَ لَمْ يَتَهَيَّأْ لَهُ فَأَتَاهُ- كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ حِجَّةً وَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَرَادَ الْعُمْرَةَ وَ لَمْ يَتَهَيَّأْ لَهُ فَأَتَاهُ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ عُمْرَةً

2. Ja’far ibn Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn ‘Ubaydillāh ibn Mūsā ibn Ja’far narrated to me from ‘Abdillāh ibn Nahīk, from Ibn Abī ‘Umayr, from Hishām ibn Ḥakam, from ‘Abdil Karīm ibn Ḥassān, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)), “What does it mean when it is said that going to the Ziyārah of the grave of Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Ḥusain (a.s.) is equal to performing Hajj and ‘Umrah?” Imam (a.s.) replied: Verily Hajj and ‘Umrah can only be performed here (in Makkah). However, if one decides to go to Hajj but does not have the means (to do so) and goes to Ḥusain (a.s.) instead, Allāh will register a Hajj for him. (Similarly) if one decides to perform an ‘Umrah but does not have the means (to do so) and goes to Ḥusain (a.s.) instead, Allāh will register an ‘Umrah for him.

It is narrated from your father (a.s.) that (going to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.)) is equal to performing Hajj and ‘Umrah?!” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Yes. A Hajj and an ‘Umrah, a Hajj and an Umrah…” Hārūn added that the Imam (a.s.) counted ten Hajj and ten ‘Umrah.

4 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ره وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَائِذٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ سَأَلَ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (ع) عَنْ زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ تَعْدِلُ حِجَّةً وَ عُمْرَةً وَ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا مِنَ الْخَيْرِ يَقُولُ بِجَمِيعِ يَدَيْهِ هَكَذَا

5. My father narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā, from Abī Sa’īd Ḥamdān ibn Sulaymān Al-Naysābūri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Muḥammad Al-Yamāni, from Manī’ ibn Ḥajjāj, from Yūnus, from Hishām ibn Sālim, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: The Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) is (equal to) one Hajj. And after one has performed obligatory Hajj, it is equal to one Hajj and one ‘Umrah.

6 وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الرِّضَا (ع) قَالَ مَنْ زَارَ قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَقَدْ حَجَّ وَ اعْتَمَرَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَطْرَحُ عَنْهُ حِجَّةَ الْإِسْلَامِ قَالَ لَا هِيَ حِجَّةُ الضَّعِيفِ حَتَّى يَقْوَى- وَ يَحُجَّ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللَّهِ الْحَرَامِ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الْبَيْتَ يَطُوفُ بِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ- حَتَّى إِذَا أَدْرَكَهُمُ اللَّيْلُ صَعِدُوا وَ نَزَلُوا غَيْرُهُمْ فَطَافُوا بِالْبَيْتِ حَتَّى الصَّبَاحِ وَ إِنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) لَأَكْرَمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ وَ إِنَّهُ فِي وَقْتِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ لَيَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ شُعْثٌ غُبْرٌ لَا تَقَعُ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّوْبَةُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

6. My father narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā, from Abī Sa’īd Ḥamdān ibn Sulaymān Al-Naysābūri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Muḥammad Al-Yamāni, from Manī’ ibn Ḥajjāj, from Yūnus, who said: Imam Riďā (a.s.) said: Those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) have performed a Hajj and an ‘Umrah. I asked, “Does it replace performing Ḥajjatul Islām?” Imam (a.s.) replied: No, it is (registered as) Hajj for those who do not have the means of going to Hajj until the means become available to them to perform the Hajj of the sacred House of Allāh. Do you not know that everyday seventy thousand angels circulate the House (Ka’bah) until nightfall, after which they ascend back to the heavens and are then replaced by other angels who circulate the House until morning?! Verily Ḥusain (a.s.) is more honourable to Allāh than the House. Verily seventy thousand (different) angels who are disheveled and covered with dust descend to him (his grave) at the time of each prayer, and they will not have another opportunity (to return to his grave) until the Day of Judgment.

7 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَعِيدٍ الْأَحْمَسِيَّةِ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) أَيَّ شَيْءٍ تَذْكُرُ فِي زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) مِنَ الْفَضْلِ قَالَ يُذْكَرُ فِيهِ يَا أُمَّ سَعِيدٍ فَضْلُ حِجَّةٍ وَ عُمْرَةٍ وَ خَيْرُهَا كَذَا وَ بَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ [يَدَهُ] وَ نَكَسَ أَصَابِعَهُ

7.

We say that it is equal to the reward of a Hajj and an ‘Umrah, and there is this much reward in it.” Um Sa’īd added that the Imam (a.s.) stretched open his arms with his fingers bent.

It is narrated from your father (a.s.) that (going to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.)) is equal to Hajj?!” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Yes. A Hajj and an ‘Umrah, and another Hajj and ‘Umrah…” Hārūn added that the Imam (a.s.) counted ten Hajj and ten ‘Umrah.

Muḥammad ibn Musādif added: Mālik (Al-Juhani) died in that year and I went for Hajj in the same year. After performing Hajj, I went to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) and said, “Mālik narrated a Ḥadīth to me from Abī Ja’far (a.s.) about the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.).” Imam (a.s.) asked me about the Ḥadīth and I narrated it to him. Imam (a.s.) said, “Yes, O Muḥammad! A Hajj and an ‘Umrah.”

What is the reward for those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) and pray two Rak’ah next to his grave.” Imam (a.s.) replied, “A Hajj and an ‘Umrah will be registered for them.” I asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! Is it the same for those who go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of any Imam whose obedience (Allāh has) made mandatory?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “It is the same for those who go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of any Imam whose obedience (Allāh has) made mandatory.”

Imam (a.s.) asked, “Where are they going?” I replied, “To the graves of the martyrs (of Uḥud).” Imam (a.s.) asked, “What prevents them from going to the Ziyārah of the lonely (abandoned) Martyr?” One of the people who was from Iraq asked, “Is going to his Ziyārah obligatory?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “His Ziyārah is better than performing Hajj and ‘Umrah, and another Hajj and ‘Umrah, and another Hajj and ‘Umrah, and…” Yazīd ibn ‘Abdil Malik added: Imam (a.s.) mentioned twenty purified and accepted Hajj and ‘Umrah. And I swear to Allāh that I did not leave the Imam (a.s.) until a man came to him and said, “I have gone to Hajj nineteen times. Please pray for me so that Allāh sustains me with the twentieth time.” Imam (a.s.) asked, “Have you ever gone to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)?” The man replied, “No.” Imam (a.s.) said, “Verily going to his Ziyārah is better than twenty Hajj.”
