The Reward for the Ziyārah of the Graves of Abil Ĥasan Mūsā ibn Ja’far and Muĥammad ibn ‘Ali Al-Jawād عليه السلام in Baghdad

5. My father, ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain, and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan all narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ya’qūb ibn Yazīd, from Ḥusain ibn Yasār Al-Wāsiťi, who said: I asked Abal Ḥasan (Imam Riďā عليه السلام), “What are the rewards for those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of your father (Imam Kāżim عليه السلام) – may Allāh’s blessings be upon him?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “Go to his Ziyārah!” I asked, “What are its merits?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “Its merits are the same as the merits for those who go to the Ziyārah of his father – referring to the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم.” I asked, “What if I was in fear and could not enter (next to the grave)?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “(Then) say Salām from behind the walls.”
