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

9 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى الْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ (ع) إِنْ رَأَى سَيِّدُنَا أَنْ يُخْبِرَنِي بِأَفْضَلِ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ فِي زِيَارَةِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) وَ هَلْ تَعْدِلُ ثَوَابَ الْحَجِّ لِمَنْ فَاتَهُ فَكَتَبَ (ع) تَعْدِلُ الْحَجَّ لِمَنْ فَاتَهُ الْحَجُّ
9. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn Sinān, from Ibrāhīm ibn ‘Uqbah, who said: I wrote a letter to the Righteous Slave (Imam Kāżim عليه السلام) saying, “If our Master deems it appropriate to inform me, (I would like to know) about the best rewards for (going to) the Ziyārah of Ḥusain عليه السلام and also if this reward is equal to the reward of performing Hajj for those who have missed (the opportunity to go to) Hajj.” Imam عليه السلام wrote back, “It is equal to Hajj for those who have missed (the opportunity to go to) Hajj.”
