On the Reward of Visiting the Shrine of Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha عليه السلام

66-9 Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem quoted on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abil Salt al-Harawi that he had heard Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام say, “By God! All of us will be killed and become a martyr.”He was asked, “O son of the Prophet of God (Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام! Who will murder you?” He replied, “The most wicked creature of God in my time (Al-Ma’mun) will kill me using poison. Then he will bury me in a very tight house in a strange town. Know that whoever visits me in my loneliness, God the Highest will record for him the reward of one-hundred thousand martyrs, one-hundred thousand honest ones, one-hundred thousand obligatory and ‘Umra (a.s.upererogatory) pilgrimages, and one-hundred thousands fighters in the way of God. He will also be resurrected among us (the 12 Imams عليه السلام). He will be established in high ranks in Heaven as our friend.”
