The Reward for Those Who Go to the Ziyārah of Ĥusain عليه السلام Knowing His Rights

14 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَائِذٍ عَنْ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ الْأَبْزَارِيِّ عَنْ قائد [فَائِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدٍ صَالِحٍ (ع) قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) قَدْ زَارَهُ النَّاسُ مَنْ يَعْرِفُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ وَ مَنْ يُنْكِرُهُ وَ رَكِبَتْ إِلَيْهِ النِّسَاءُ وَ وَقَعَ حَالُ الشُّهْرَةِ- وَ قَدِ انْقَبَضْتُ مِنْهُ لِمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنَ الشُّهْرَةِ قَالَ فَمَكَثَ مَلِيّاً لَا يُجِيبُنِي ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ يَا عِرَاقِيُّ إِنْ شَهَرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ فَلَا تَشْهَرْ أَنْتَ نَفْسَكَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا أَتَى الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) آتٍ عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ
14. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from his father, from Hārūn ibn Muslim, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali, from Aḥmad ibn ‘Ā`idh, from Abī Ya’qūb Al-Abzāri, from Qā`id, who said: I went to the Righteous Slave (Imam Kāżim عليه السلام) and said: May I sacrifice myself for you! (Many) people are going to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain عليه السلام from among those who believe in this matter and (among) those who deny it, and even women travel to him. It has become so widely-known (that) I have stopped going to him in fear of being identified. The Imam عليه السلام did not respond to me (immediately) and remained silent for some time. Then he عليه السلام looked toward me and said, “O Iraqi! Even if others go publicly, you should (still) go but do not identify yourself. I swear to Allāh that no one goes to the Ziyārah عليه السلام of Ḥusain knowing his rights without Allāh forgiving all of his past and future sins.”
