The Virtue of and Reward for Visiting the Gravesites of ’A’immah, ‘Alayhim al-Salam

2ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَا عَلِيُّ مَنْ زَارَنِي فِي حَيَاتِي أَوْ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي أَوْ زَارَكَ فِي حَيَاتِكَ أَوْ بَعْدَ مَوْتِكَ أَوْ زَارَ ابْنَيْكَ فِي حَيَاتِهِمَا أَوْ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِمَا ضَمِنْتُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنْ أُخَلِّصَهُ مِنْ أَهْوَالِهَا وَشَدَائِدِهَا حَتَّى أُصَيِّرَهُ مَعِي فِي دَرَجَتِي.
2. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Muhammad ibn Ali in a marfu‘ manner who has said the following: “He (the Imam) عليه السلام has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, informed Ali عليه السلام, as follows. ‘O Ali, whoever visits me during my life time or after my death, visits you during your lifetime or after your death, or visits anyone of your two sons during their lifetime or after their death, I guarantee him on the Day of Judgment freedom from its horrors and sufferings until I keep him with me at my position.’”
