Muĥammad ibn Ja’far narrated to me from Muĥammad ibn Ĥusain, from Muĥammad ibn Šāliĥ, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Hilāl, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq (a.s.)), “May I sacrifice myself for you! What is the minimum reward for those who go to the Ziyārah of Ĥusain (a.s.)?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “O ‘Abdallāh! Verily the minimum (reward) for them is that Allāh will protect them and their possessions until they return to their families, and on the Day of Judgment, Allāh (Himself) will be their protector.”

They will not leave this life with any sorrows about it and they will dwell with Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) in Paradise. O Dāwūd! Who does not like to be the neighbour of Ĥusain (a.s.) in Paradise?!!! I replied, “(Only) those who have not achieved salvation.”

5. My father narrated to me from Aĥmad ibn Idrǐs, from ‘Amraki, from Šandal, from Abil Šabbāĥ Al-Kināni, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq (a.s.)) said: On the night of Qadr, “wherein every affair of wisdom is made distinct” (44:4), a caller will call out from inside the Throne, “Verily Allāh has forgiven everyone who has come to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ĥusain (a.s.) on this night.”

Verily Allāh will register twenty purified and accepted Hajj and ‘Umrah and the reward of (fighting in) twenty battles with one of Allāh’s messengers or with a Just Imam for any believer who goes to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ĥusain (a.s.) knowing his rights on any day other than an Eid and the Day of ‘Arafah. Anyone who goes to him (Ĥusain) on an Eid day…
