Ali al-Washa who said: “He will get the reward of the Ziyarat of the grave of Imam Husain عليه السلام.” He asked, “What is the reward of a person performing Ziyarat of the grave of Imam Musa Kadhim عليه السلام.” Imam عليه السلام responded, “He will get the reward of performing the Ziyarat of the grave of Imam Husain عليه السلام.”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَهْزِیَارَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع مَا لِمَنْ أَتَی قَبْرَ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ الْجَنَّهُ وَ اللَّهِ.

Mahziyar who said: The narrator asked Imam Jawad عليه السلام, “What is the reward of performing Ziyarat of Imam Ridha عليه السلام?” He replied, “By Allah, his destination is Paradise.”

Abi Nasr al-Bazanti who said: It is narrated that a letter of Imam Ridha عليه السلام contained the following text: “Convey to my Shias that the reward of my Ziyarat equals to one thousand Hajjs.” The narrator asked Imam Jawad عليه السلام, “Is it equal to a thousand Hajjs?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “Yes, one who performs his Ziyarat knowing his right this act is equal to a million Hajjs.” Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام says that one who performs the Ziyarat of any one of us will get the reward of the Ziyarat of Imam Husain عليه السلام.”
