The Reward for Performing Ghusl with the Water of the Euphrates (River) Before the Ziyārah of Ĥusain عليه السلام
5 حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَمَّامِ بْنِ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هابندار [مَابُنْدَادَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْمُعَافَا الثَّعْلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَهْلِ رَأْسِ الْعَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْهَمَانِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيَّ (ع) يَقُولُ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ يُرِيدُ زِيَارَةَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَصَارَ إِلَى الْفُرَاتِ فَاغْتَسَلَ مِنْهُ كَتَبَ [اللَّهُ] مِنَ الْمُفْلِحِينَ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْفَائِزِينَ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (ص) يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ لَكَ أَمَّا ذُنُوبُكَ فَقَدْ غُفِرَ لَكَ اسْتَأْنِفِ الْعَمَلَ
5. Abū Muḥammad Hārūn ibn Mūsā Al-Tal’ukbari narrated to me from Abī ‘Ali Muḥammad ibn Hammām ibn Suhayl, from Aḥmad ibn Mābundād, from Aḥmad ibn Mu’āfā Al-Tha’labi – who was from Ra`s Al-‘Ayn, from ‘Ali ibn Ja’far Al-Humāni, who said: I heard ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad Al-‘Askari (Imam Hādi عليه السلام) say: Those who leave their homes going toward the Ziyārah of Ḥusain عليه السلام and go to the Euphrates (River) and perform Ghusl with its water will be registered by Allāh as those who have achieved salvation. And once they say Salām to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain عليه السلام) they will be registered as the Winners. After they finish their prayers, an angel will come to them and say, “Verily the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم conveys his Salām to you and tells you that your sins have been forgiven and that you should start again with good deeds.”
