The Reward for the Ziyārah of Ĥusain عليه السلام on the Day of ‘Arafah

1. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Qurashi Al-Razzāz Al-Kūfi narrated to me from his uncle Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl, from Sāliḥ ibn ‘Uqbah, from Bashīr Al-Dahhān, who said: I said to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام), “Sometimes I miss (the opportunity to go to) Hajj so I go and spend the Day of ‘Arafah next to the grave of Ḥusain عليه السلام instead.” Imam عليه السلام said: Well done, O Bashīr! Verily Allāh will register twenty purified and accepted Hajj, twenty purified and accepted ‘Umrah, and the reward of (fighting in) twenty battles with one of Allāh’s messengers or with a Just Imam for any believer who goes to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain عليه السلام knowing his rights on any day other than an Eid. Allāh will register one hundred Hajj and ‘Umrah and the reward of (fighting in) one hundred battles with one of Allāh’s messengers or with a Just Imam for anyone who goes to him (Imam Ḥusain عليه السلام) on any Eid day. Allāh will register one thousand accepted Hajj and ‘Umrah and the reward of (fighting in) one thousand battles with one of Allāh’s messengers or with a Just Imam for anyone who goes to him (Imam Ḥusain عليه السلام) on the Day of ‘Arafah knowing his rights. I said, “But how can I be anywhere better than ‘Arafāt on the day of ‘Arafah?” Imam عليه السلام looked at me angrily and said, “O Bashīr! When a believer goes to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain عليه السلام on the Day of ‘Arafah after performing Ghusl with the water of the Euphrates (River), Allāh will register one (complete) Hajj with all of its rituals for him with every step that he takes.” Bashīr added, “I believe that the Imam عليه السلام also mentioned (that Allāh will register the reward of participating in) a battle.”
