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

Hamzah ibn Humran narrated that Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "My descendant will be killed in the land of Khurasan, in a city called Tus. Whoever visits him there, recognizing his right, I will take them by the hand on the Day of Judgment and admit them into Paradise, even if they are among those who committed major sins." I said: "May I be your ransom, what does it mean to recognize his right?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "To know that he is an Imam whose obedience is divinely mandated, a stranger, and a martyr. Whoever visits him, recognizing his right, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Exalted, will grant them the reward of seventy martyrs who were martyred before the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace be upon him and his family, in truth."
