Ĥusain عليه السلام: “The Master of the Martyrs”

3. Abul ‘Abbās Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Abī Dāwūd Al-Mustariq, from Um Sa’īd Al-Aḥmasiyyah, who said: I was with Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) and I had sent someone to rent a donkey for me so that I could go to the graves of the martyrs (of Uḥud). Imam عليه السلام asked me, “What prevents you from going to the Ziyārah of the Master of the Martyrs?” I asked, “Who is he?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “Ḥusain عليه السلام.” I asked, “What is the reward for going to his Ziyārah?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “One purified Hajj and ‘Umrah as well as this much reward.” Um Sa’īd added that the Imam عليه السلام extended his arms out and then closed them three times (to explain ‘this much reward’).
