It is recommended that one performs Ghusl before going to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) and not when bidding farewell (to him), but rather wipe one’s hands over the face when bidding farewell.

Verily when a believer goes to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) while knowing his rights and performs Ghusl with the water of the Euphrates (River), with every step that he takes, an accepted and purified Hajj and ‘Umrah and (the reward of) fighting (in the way of Allāh) along with one of Allāh’s messengers or with a Just Imam will be registered for him.

3 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى وَ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ عَنِ الْعَمْرَكِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ يَحْيَى وَ كَانَ فِي خِدْمَةِ الْإِمَامِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي (ع) عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ بَشِيرٍ الدَّهَّانِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) وَ هُوَ نَازِلٌ بِالْحِيرَةِ وَ عِنْدَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الشِّيعَةِ فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيَّ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ يَا بَشِيرُ حَجَجْتَ الْعَامَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ عَرَّفْتُ بِالْقَبْرِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَقَالَ يَا بَشِيرُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا فَاتَكَ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا كَانَ لِأَصْحَابِ مَكَّةَ بِمَكَّةَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فِيهِ عَرَفَاتٌ فَسِّرْ لِي فَقَالَ يَا بَشِيرُ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْكُمْ لَيَغْتَسِلُ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْفُرَاتِ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ فَيُعْطِيهِ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ قَدَمٍ يَرْفَعُهَا أَوْ يَضَعُهَا مِائَةَ حِجَّةٍ مَقْبُولَةٍ وَ مَعَهَا مِائَةُ عُمْرَةٍ مَبْرُورَةٍ وَ مِائَةُ غَزْوَةٍ مَعَ نَبِيٍّ مُرْسَلٍ [إِلَى أعد [أَعْدَى عَدُوٍّ لَهُ] إِلَى أَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ أَعْدَاءِ الرَّسُولِ وَ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ

3. My father narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā, and from Aḥmad ibn Idrīs, from ‘Amraki ibn ‘Ali, from Yaḥyā – who was the servant of Imam Abī Ja’far the Second (Imam Jawād (a.s.)), from Muḥammad ibn Sinān, from Bashīr Al-Dahhān, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) in Ḥīrah (speaking) to a group of Shia surrounding him. He turned his face toward me and asked, “O Bashīr! Did you go for Hajj last year?” I replied, “May I sacrifice myself for you! No, but instead I spent the Day of ‘Arafah next to the Grave – referring to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.).” Imam (a.s.) said, “O Bashīr! I swear to Allāh that you did not miss anything (from the blessings) that were in Makkah for those who were there.” I said, “May I sacrifice myself for you! Explain this to me, for (the blessing of being in) ‘Arafāt is (only available) in Makkah.” Imam (a.s.) replied: O Bashīr! Verily every time one of you raises his foot or places it down walking toward the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) while knowing his rights, after performing Ghusl on the shores of the Euphrates (River), Allāh will give you (the reward of) one hundred accepted Hajj and one hundred purified ‘Umrah and (the reward of) fighting in a hundred battles with one of Allāh’s messengers against His enemies and the enemies of the Messenger.

5 حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَمَّامِ بْنِ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هابندار [مَابُنْدَادَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْمُعَافَا الثَّعْلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَهْلِ رَأْسِ الْعَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْهَمَانِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيَّ (ع) يَقُولُ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ يُرِيدُ زِيَارَةَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَصَارَ إِلَى الْفُرَاتِ فَاغْتَسَلَ مِنْهُ كَتَبَ [اللَّهُ] مِنَ الْمُفْلِحِينَ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْفَائِزِينَ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (ص) يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ لَكَ أَمَّا ذُنُوبُكَ فَقَدْ غُفِرَ لَكَ اسْتَأْنِفِ الْعَمَلَ

5. Abū Muḥammad Hārūn ibn Mūsā Al-Tal’ukbari narrated to me from Abī ‘Ali Muḥammad ibn Hammām ibn Suhayl, from Aḥmad ibn Mābundād, from Aḥmad ibn Mu’āfā Al-Tha’labi – who was from Ra`s Al-‘Ayn, from ‘Ali ibn Ja’far Al-Humāni, who said: I heard ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad Al-‘Askari (Imam Hādi (a.s.)) say: Those who leave their homes going toward the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) and go to the Euphrates (River) and perform Ghusl with its water will be registered by Allāh as those who have achieved salvation. And once they say Salām to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain (a.s.)) they will be registered as the Winners. After they finish their prayers, an angel will come to them and say, “Verily the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) conveys his Salām to you and tells you that your sins have been forgiven and that you should start again with good deeds.”

O Allāh! Make this (Ghusl) as light, purification, and protection for me. And make it the prevention from every illness and disease and from every disability and injury. And purify my heart, my organs, my flesh, my blood, my hair, my skin, my brain, my bones, my nerves, and my mass with it. And make it my witness on the Day of Judgment: the day of my need, poverty, and destitution.

8. My father and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan both narrated to me from Ḥusain ibn Ḥasan ibn Abān, from Ḥusain ibn Sa’īd, from Faďālah ibn Ayyūb, from Yūsuf Al-Kunāsi, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: When you go to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), go to the part of the Euphrates (River) closest to his grave and perform Ghusl with its water.

9 حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُوسَوِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نَهِيكٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْفِرَاشِيِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّحَّانِ عَنْ بَشِيرٍ الدَّهَّانِ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ مُوسَى النَّحَّاسِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ إِنَّ مَنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ وَ بَلَغَ الْفُرَاتَ وَ اغْتَسَلَ فِيهِ وَ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ [فَاغْتَسَلَ بِمَاءِ الْفُرَاتِ وَ خَرَجَ] كَانَ كَمِثْلِ الَّذِي خَرَجَ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ فَإِذَا مَشَى إِلَى الْحَائِرِ [الْحَيْرِ] لَمْ يَرْفَعْ قَدَماً وَ لَمْ يَضَعْ أُخْرَى إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ وَ مَحَا عَنْهُ عَشْرَ سَيِّئَاتٍ

9. Ja’far ibn Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm ibn ‘Ubaydillāh Al-Mūsawi narrated to me from ‘Abdillāh ibn Nahīk, from Muḥammad Al-Farrāsh (Muḥammad ibn Firās), from Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad Al-Ťaḥḥān, from Bashīr Al-Dahhān, from Rifā’ah ibn Mūsā Al-Nakhās, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Verily when a person travels toward the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), knowing his rights, arrives at the Euphrates (River) and performs Ghusl in it, he will be like one who has stepped out of his sins as soon as he steps out of the water. And Allāh will register ten good deeds for him and erase ten of his bad deeds for every step that he takes as he walks toward the Hā`ir.
