51. Umme Saeed Hamsiya says that she was present near Imam Ja’far Sadiq 
when her maid came to her and said, “I have brought the mount.” Imam asked, “What is that mount for? Where are you going?” She replied, “I am going for Ziyarat of the graves of the martyrs.” Imam said, “I am surprised that you people of Iraq travel long distances and perform Ziyarat of the martyrs but don’t go for the Ziyarat of the chief of martyrs. Why don’t you go for his Ziyarat?” She asked, “Who is the chief of martyrs?” Imam replied, “Imam Husain .” She said, “But I am a woman.” Imam said, “Other women like you should also go for Ziyarat.” She asked, “What is the reward of his Ziyarat?” Imam replied, “The reward of this Ziyarat is equal to that of a Hajj, Umrah, performing Etekaf in Masjid-e-Haraam and fasting for two months.”
