حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عُبَیْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَبِی عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ النَّهَاوَنْدِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی سَعِیدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ ثُوَیْرِ بْنِ أَبِی فَاخِتَهَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَا حُسَیْنُ إِنَّهُ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ یُرِیدُ زِیَارَهَ قَبْرِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ ع إِنْ کَانَ مَاشِیاً کُتِبَ لَهُ بِکُلِّ خُطْوَهٍ حَسَنَهٌ وَ مُحِیَ عَنْهُ سَیِّئَهٌ فَإِنْ کَانَ رَاکِباً کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِکُلِّ حَافِرٍ حَسَنَهً وَ حَطَّ بِهَا عَنْهُ سَیِّئَهً حَتَّی إِذَا صَارَ فِی الْحَائِرِ کَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْمُفْلِحِینَ الْمُنْجِحِینَ حَتَّی إِذَا قَضَی مَنَاسِکَهُ کَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْفَائِزِینَ حَتَّی إِذَا أَرَادَ الِانْصِرَافَ أَتَاهُ مَلَکٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص یُقْرِئُکَ السَّلَامَ وَ یَقُولُ لَکَ اسْتَأْنِفِ الْعَمَلَ فَقَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَکَ مَا مَضَی.

31. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s) told Husain bin Suwair, “O Husain! One who starts from his home with an intention of doing the Ziyarat of the grave of Imam Husain (a.s) Allah would note a reward and wipe a sin for every step taken. If he is on a mount Allah would note down a reward and wipe a sin for every step of the mount till he reaches Kerbala. The Almighty Allah would include him among those who get salvation. And when he performs the deeds of Ziyarat Allah includes him among the successful. When he makes an intention to return, an angel would come and say, ‘The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) has sent his salutations to you and has conveyed that your past sins are forgiven. Now you can have a new start in your deeds’.”
