Chapter: The Reward for Those Who Go to the Ziyārah of Ĥusain (a.s.) Knowing His Rights َّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِ٠ْيَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ ٠ٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَحْ٠َدَ بْنِ عَائِذٍ عَنْ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ الْأَبْزَارِيِّ عَنْ قائد [فَائِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدٍ صَالِحٍ (ع) قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) قَدْ زَارَهُ النَّاسُ ٠َنْ يَعْرِفُ هَذَا الْأَ٠َنْ يُنْكِرُهُ وَ رَكِبَتْ إِلَيْهِ النِّسَاءُ وَ وَقَعَ حَالُ الشُّهْرَةِ- وَ قَدِ انْقَبَضْتُ ٠ِنَ الشُّهْرَةِ قَالَ فَ٠َلِيّاً لَا يُجِيبُنِي ثُ٠َّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ يَا عِرَاقِيُّ إِنْ شَهَرُوا أَنْفُسَهُ٠ْ فَلَا تَشْهَرْ أَنْتَ نَفْسَكَ فَوَ اللَّهِ ٠َا أَتَى الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) آتٍ عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ٠14.

Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from his father, from Hārūn ibn Muslim, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali, from Aḥmad ibn ‘Ā`idh, from Abī Ya’qūb Al-Abzāri, from Qā`id, who said: I went to the Righteous Slave (Imam Kāżim (a.s.)) and said: May I sacrifice myself for you! (Many) people are going to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) from among those who believe in this matter and (among) those who deny it, and even women travel to him.

It has become so widely-known (that) I have stopped going to him in fear of being identified. The Imam (a.s.) did not respond to me (immediately) and remained silent for some time. Then he (a.s.) looked toward me and said, “O Iraqi! Even if others go publicly, you should (still) go but do not identify yourself. I swear to Allāh that no one goes to the Ziyārah (a.s.) of Ḥusain knowing his rights without Allāh forgiving all of his past and future sins.”
