9- حدثني أبي ره و جماعة أصحابي ره عن محمد بن يحيى و أحمد بن إدريس جميعا عن العمركي بن علي عن يحيى الخادم لأبي جعفر الثاني ع عن محمد بن سنان عن بشير الدهان قال سمعت أبا عبد الله ع يقول و هو نازل بالحيرة و عنده جماعة من الشيعة فأقبل إلي بوجهه فقال يا بشير أ حججت العام قلت جعلت فداك لا و لكن عرفت بالقبر قبر الحسين ع فقال يا بشير و الله ما فاتك شيء مما كان لأصحاب مكة بمكة قلت جعلت فداك فيه عرفات فسره لي فقال يا بشير إن الرجل منكم ليغتسل على شاطئ الفرات ثم يأتي قبر الحسين ع عارفا بحقه فيعطيه الله بكل قدم يرفعها و [أو] يضعها مائة حجة مقبولة و مائة عمرة مبرورة و مائة غزوة مع نبي مرسل إلى أعداء الله و أعداء رسوله [إلى أعدى عدو له يا بشير] يا بشير أسمع و أبلغ من احتمل قلبه من زار الحسين ع يوم عرفة كان كمن زار الله في عرشه My father and all of my scholars narrated to me from Muhammad ibn Yahya, and from Ahmad ibn Idris, from ‘Amraki ibn Ali, from Yahya – the servant of Abi Ja’far -asws the Second (Imam jawad -asws ), from Muhammad ibn Sinan, from Bashir Al-Dahhan, who said: I heard Aba ‘Abdillah (Imam Sadiq -asws ) speaking in Hirah to a group of Shia surrounding him.
He -asws turned his face toward me and asked, “O Bashir! Did you go for Hajj last year?” I replied, “May I sacrifice myself for you -asws ! No, but instead I spent the Day of ‘Arafah next to the grave – referring to the grave of Hussain -asws .” He -asws said, “O Bashir! I say it by Allah -asws that you did not miss anything (from the blessings) that were in Makkah for those who were there.” I said: “May I sacrifice myself for you -asws !
Explain this to me, for (the blessings being in) ‘Arafat is (only available) in Makkah.” Imam -asws replied: O Bashir!
Verily every time one of you raises his foot or places it down walking toward the grave of Hussain -asws while knowing his rights, after performing Ghusl on the shores of the Euphrates (River), Allah -azwj will Give you the reward of) one hundred accepted Hajj and one hundred purified Umrah and (the reward of) fighting in one hundred battles with one of Allah -azwj ’s Messengers against His -azwj enemies and the enemies of His -azwj Messenger -asws . O Bashir!
