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

5. My father, ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain, and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan all narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Mughīrah, from ‘Abbās ibn ‘Āmir, from Aḥmad ibn Rizq Al-Ghamshāni (Al-Bajali), from Um Sa’īd Al-Aḥmasiyyah, who said: I entered Madīnah and I rented a donkey (and a guide) to go to the Ziyārah of the graves of the martyrs (of Uḥud). However, I thought that I should start by visiting the son of the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام). So I went and saw the Imam عليه السلام, and I delayed the guide a little. The guide raised his voice (to make me hurry). (When the Imam عليه السلام heard him) he asked me, “What is this about, O Um Sa’īd?” I replied, “May I sacrifice myself for you! I have rented a donkey to go to the Ziyārah of the graves of the martyrs (of Uḥud).” Imam عليه السلام asked, “Should I not tell you about the Master of the Martyrs?” I replied, “Yes.” Imam عليه السلام said, “(It is) Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali عليه السلام.” I asked, “Is he truly the Master of the Martyrs?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “Yes.” I asked, “What is the reward for those who go to his Ziyārah?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “The reward of Hajj and ‘Umrah and this much reward.”
