Reward of Ziyarat of Imam Husain عليه السلام

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ هَارُونَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ وَکَّلَ اللَّهُ بِقَبْرِ الْحُسَیْنِ ع أَرْبَعَهَ آلَافِ مَلَکٍ شُعْثٍ غُبْرٍ یَبْکُونَهُ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ فَمَنْ زَارَهُ عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ شَیَّعُوهُ حَتَّی یُبْلِغُوهُ مَأْمَنَهُ وَ إِنْ مَرِضَ عَادُوهُ غُدْوَهً وَ عَشِیّاً وَ إِنْ مَاتَ شَهِدُوا جِنَازَتَهُ وَ اسْتَغْفَرُوا لَهُ إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ.
17. Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام says, “The Almighty Allah has appointed four thousand angels at the grave of Imam Husain عليه السلام. They will mourn over Imam عليه السلام with their hair covered in dust and in a distressed state till the Day of Judgment. One who goes for the Ziyarat of Imam Husain عليه السلام knowing his right, angels will go with him till he returns to his homeland. If he falls ill they would treat him day and night. If he dies they would attend his funeral prayer and repent for him till the Day of Judgment.”
