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 أَبِي اَلصَّلْتِ عَبْدِ اَلسَّلاَمِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ اَلْهَرَوِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: «وَ اَللَّهِ مَا مِنَّا إِلاَّ مَقْتُولٌ شَهِيدٌ» فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَمَنْ يَقْتُلُكَ يَا اِبْنَ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ قَالَ «شَرُّ خَلْقِ اَللَّهِ فِي زَمَانِي يَقْتُلُنِي بِالسَّمِّ ثُمَّ يَدْفِنُنِي فِي دَارٍ مُضَيَّقَةٍ وَ بِلاَدِ غُرْبَةٍ أَلاَ فَمَنْ زَارَنِي فِي غُرْبَتِي كَتَبَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ أَجْرَ مِائَةِ أَلْفِ شَهِيدٍ وَ مِائَةِ أَلْفِ صِدِّيقٍ وَ مِائَةِ أَلْفِ حَاجٍّ وَ مُعْتَمِرٍ وَ مِائَةِ أَلْفِ مُجَاهِدٍ وَ حُشِرَ فِي زُمْرَتِنَا وَ جُعِلَ فِي اَلدَّرَجَاتِ اَلْعُلَى مِنَ اَلْجَنَّةِ رَفِيقَنَا».
It is narrated from Abu al-Salt Abd al-Salam ibn Salih al-Harawi, who said: I heard Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha عليه السلام say: "By Allah سبحانه وتعالى, there is none among us except that they are killed and martyred." He was asked: "Who will kill you, O son of the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "The worst of Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى creation in my time will kill me with poison, then bury me in a constrained house and a land of estrangement. Behold, whoever visits me in my estrangement, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Exalted, will write for them the reward of one hundred thousand martyrs, one hundred thousand truthful ones, one hundred thousand pilgrims and those performing Umrah, and one hundred thousand fighters in the path of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. They will be resurrected in our group and placed in the highest ranks of Paradise as our companions."
