Chapter on the Reward of Visiting the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the Imams عليه السلام, Peace Be Upon Them All

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ اَلْبَزَنْطِيِّ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ كِتَابَ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «أَبْلِغْ شِيعَتِي أَنَّ زِيَارَتِي تَعْدِلُ عِنْدَ اَللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَلْفَ حَجَّةٍ» قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ يَعْنِي اِبْنَهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَلْفَ حَجَّةٍ قَالَ «إِي وَ اَللَّهِ وَ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ حَجَّةٍ لِمَنْ زَارَهُ عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ ».
It is narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr al-Bazanti, who said: I read the letter of Abu al-Hasan al-Ridha عليه السلام which stated: "Convey to my Shia that my visitation is equivalent before Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, to one thousand Hajj." I then asked Abu Ja‘far (his son, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Jawad عليه السلام) "One thousand Hajj?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes, by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and one thousand thousand Hajj for the one who visits him knowing his right."
