2. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Hariz from Fudayl ibn Yasar who (in a Mawquf manner) has said the following: “He (the Imam) has said, ‘Visiting the grave of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, the graves of the martyrs and the grave of Imam al-Husayn , is equal to performing al-Hajj along with the Messenger of Allah.”

3. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from ibn Mahbub from Aban from al-Sadusiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Whoever comes to visit me, I will intercede on his behalf on the Day of Judgment.’”

4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from al-Mu‘alla’ abu Shihab who has said the following: “He (the Imam) , has said that al-Husayn , once asked, ‘What, O grandfather, is the reward for one who visits you?’ The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, replied as follows: ‘My son, whoever visits me in my lifetime or after I die, or visits your father, your brother or visits you, it becomes necessary for me to visit him on the Day of Judgment to save him from his sins.’”

5. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Bandar has narrated from Ibrahim ibn Ishaq from Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Daylamiy from abu Hajar al- Aslamiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Whoever comes to Makkah for al-Hajj but does not visit me, on the Day of Judgment I will turn away from him. Whoever comes to visit me, my intercession on his behalf becomes necessary. One on whose behalf my intercession becomes necessary, for him paradise becomes necessary. Whoever dies in one of the two Sacred areas, Makkah or al-Madinah, will not be exposed or brought in, to present an account of his deeds. Whoever dies during his migration to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, on the Day of Judgment will be raised with the people of Badr.’”
