The Reward for the Ziyārah of Ĥusain عليه السلام Is Equal to the Reward of Performing a Hajj

4. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from his father, from Ibn Abī ‘Umayr, from Hishām ibn Ḥakam, from ‘Abdil Karīm ibn Ḥassān, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام), “What does it mean when it is said that going to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain عليه السلام is equal to performing a Hajj and an ‘Umrah?” Imam عليه السلام replied: Verily Hajj and ‘Umrah can only be performed here (in Makkah). However, if one decides to go to Hajj but does not have the means (to do so) and goes to Ḥusain عليه السلام instead, Allāh will register a Hajj for him. (Similarly) if someone decides to perform an ‘Umrah but does not have the means (to do so and goes to Ḥusain عليه السلام instead), an ‘Umrah will be registered for him.
