25. And from the previous chain who said: Bashir Dahhan asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s), “I cannot go for Hajj on a few occasions. What if I go to the grave of Imam Husain (a.s) on the day of Arafah?” Imam (a.s) replied, “O Bashir! It is excellent; for one who does the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s) knowing his right on any day except Eid, would get the reward of twenty accepted Hajjs, twenty accepted Umrahs and fighting twenty battles along with the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) or a just Imam. One who does Ziyarat on the day of Eid would get the reward of one hundred Hajjs, a hundred Umrahs and fighting a hundred battles alongside the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) or a just Imam. One who goes for Ziyarat knowing his right would get the reward of one thousand accepted Hajjs, one thousand accepted Umrahs and fighting one thousand battles alongside the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) or a just Imam.” Bashir asked, “How can I get the reward of halting in Arafah?” Imam (a.s) looked at him angrily and replied, “When a believer goes for the Ziyarat of the grave of Imam Husain (a.s), he should first go to river Euphrates and perform ritual bath and then go for Ziyarat. If he does so the reward of a Hajj is noted down for each step he takes.” The narrator says that he is not sure whether Imam (a.s) included the reward of a battle and Umrah also.
