Imam Baqir -asws asked, “Do you visit the tomb of Imam Hussain -asws ?” I replied, “Yes, but in fear and trepidation.” Imam -asws said: The reward for his Ziyarat is proportionate to the degree of fear involved; the greater the fear, the greater the reward! On Judgment Day, when people are raised for accounting for the Lord of the Worlds, Allah will make the hearts of one who has gone fearfully to the Ziyarat of Imam Hussain -asws , peaceful.
One who performs the Ziyarat of Imam Hussain -asws in fear will return forgiven. The angels salute him and Allah’s Messenger will go to his Ziyarat and pray for him.
