Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 2 77: Visiting The Tomb Of Imam Husain (as) It is an act of goodwill towards Imam az-Zaman (aj) and other Purified Imams (as). By performing this we can please the pure heart of Imam (as). Imam (as) prays for the visitor of Imam Husain (as), day and night.

Ibne Qooloolay has quoted Imam Sadiq (as) in Kamiluz Ziaraat: “One who visits the tomb of my (great grand) father (Imam Husain a.s.), has performed an act of goodwill towards the Messenger of Allah (S) and has respected our relationship.

The back-biting of such a person is haraam and his flesh is haraam for hell-fire.”[^1] In the same book, through the author’s own chain of narrators it is narrated from Abdullah bin Sinan that he said: I asked His Eminence, Abu Abdullah Imam Sadiq (as): May I be sacrificed on you, your father said: One dirham spent in the way of Hajj is counted as a thousand. Then what will be the value if one undertakes a journey to visit your forefather, Husain (as)?

He replied: O son of Sinan, each dirham will be considered as a thousand thousand – till ten thousand, and in the same proportion would his levels be increased and the pleasure of Allah will be better for him.

And the Dua of Muhammad (S) will be there for him and the Dua of Amirul Momineen (as) and the Holy Imams (as) also.[^2] In the same book, it is narrated through the author’s own chain of narrators that Imam Sadiq (as) said: “The deed loved most by Allah is the visitation (Ziarat) of the tomb of Imam Husain (as).

The deed of a believer loved most by Allah is making the Momineen happy and the condition loved most by Allah is that a person weeps in prostration.”[^3] Through the author’s own chain of narrators it is narrated from Muawiyah bin Wahab that he heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) supplicating the Almighty Allah and beseeching Him: Send Your mercy for me, my brothers and visitors of the grave of my forefather, Husain (as).

Those who spend from their funds put their bodies into trouble, for the sake of goodness to us, and in hope of reward and a good turn for us, and to please Your Prophet (S), and to follow our command, and making the enemies angry, so that through this they may obtain Your satisfaction. So [O Allah], reward them through Your satisfaction on our behalf, and keep them in Your safety, day and night, reward their families and children, who stay behind in the best way.
