Reward of Ziyarat of Imam Husain عليه السلام

14. My father رحمه الله said: it was narrated to us by Abdillah b. Ja’far al-Himyari from Muhammad b. al-Hussain from Muhammad b. Ismail from Salih b. ’Uqba from Abi Sa’eed al-Madaini who said: Abu Saeed Madaini asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام, “May I be sacrificed for you, should I go for Ziyarat of Imam Husain عليه السلام?” He replied, “Yes, O Abu Saeed! Go for Ziyarat of the son of the daughter of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم for he was most virtuous among virtuous men, purest among pure and best among the doers of good deeds. If you do his Ziyarat Allah would grant you the reward of freeing twenty-five slaves.”
