The Minimum Number of Times One Should Go to the Ziyārah of Ĥusain عليه السلام and the Longest Time Allowed to Delay the Ziyārah for the Wealthy and Poor
16 وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ أَبِي نَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ص) قَالَ نَعَمْ تَعْدِلُ عُمْرَةً وَ لَا يَنْبَغِي التَّخَلُّفُ عَنْهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَرْبَعِ سِنِينَ
16. ‘Amraki (ibn ‘Ali) narrated through his Isnād from Muḥammad ibn Faďl, from Abī Nāb, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) about (the reward for) going to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain عليه السلام. Imam عليه السلام said, “Yes. It is equal to performing an ‘Umrah and one should not refrain from (going to) him for longer than four years.”
