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

3 وَ عَنْهُمْ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ أَبِي مَسْرُوقٍ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَبْدَأُ بِالنَّظَرِ إِلَى زُوَّارِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) عَشِيَّةَ عَرَفَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ قَبْلَ نَظَرِهِ لِأَهْلِ الْمَوْقِفِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لِأَنَّ فِي أُولَئِكَ أَوْلَادَ زِنًا- وَ لَيْسَ فِي هَؤُلَاءِ أَوْلَادُ زِنًا
3. My father, ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain, and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan all narrated to me from Sa’d (ibn ‘Abdillāh), from Haytham ibn Abī Masrūq Al-Nahdi, from ‘Ali ibn Asbāť, from some of our companions, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) said, “On the eve of ‘Arafah, Allāh, the Blessed and the Exalted, looks at the Zuwwār of the grave of Ḥusain عليه السلام first.” I asked, “Even before looking at the people who are in ‘Arafāt?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “Yes.” I asked, “Why is that?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “Because there are people who are conceived illegitimately among those who are in ‘Arafāt but there are not any illegitimately conceived people among the Zuwwār of Ḥusain عليه السلام.”
