Abul ‘Abbās Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Abī Dāwūd Al-Mustariq, from Um Sa’īd Al-Aḥmasiyyah, who said: I was with Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) and I had sent someone to rent a donkey for me so that I could go to the graves of the martyrs (of Uḥud).

Imam (a.s.) asked me, “What prevents you from going to the Ziyārah of the Master of the Martyrs?” I asked, “Who is he?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Ḥusain (a.s.).” I asked, “What is the reward for going to his Ziyārah?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “One purified Hajj and ‘Umrah as well as this much reward.” Um Sa’īd added that the Imam (a.s.) extended his arms out and then closed them three times (to explain ‘this much reward’).
