Reward of Ziyarat of Imam Husain عليه السلام

25. And from the previous chain who said: Bashir Dahhan asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام, “I cannot go for Hajj on a few occasions. What if I go to the grave of Imam Husain عليه السلام on the day of Arafah?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “O Bashir! It is excellent; for one who does the Ziyarat of Imam Husain عليه السلام knowing his right on any day except Eid, would get the reward of twenty accepted Hajjs, twenty accepted Umrahs and fighting twenty battles along with the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم or a just Imam. One who does Ziyarat on the day of Eid would get the reward of one hundred Hajjs, a hundred Umrahs and fighting a hundred battles alongside the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم or a just Imam. One who goes for Ziyarat knowing his right would get the reward of one thousand accepted Hajjs, one thousand accepted Umrahs and fighting one thousand battles alongside the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم or a just Imam.” Bashir asked, “How can I get the reward of halting in Arafah?” Imam عليه السلام looked at him angrily and replied, “When a believer goes for the Ziyarat of the grave of Imam Husain عليه السلام, he should first go to river Euphrates and perform ritual bath and then go for Ziyarat. If he does so the reward of a Hajj is noted down for each step he takes.” The narrator says that he is not sure whether Imam عليه السلام included the reward of a battle and Umrah also.
