It is quoted from Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -as that whoever would travel barefoot with the intention of Ziarat-e-Imam Hussain -as , Allah -azwj would reward him for the every stride he takes with 1000 good deeds ‘Nakiyan’, would forgive 1000 sins and would upgrade 1000 time his residence in the gardens of paradise.
Abu Hamza -ra has narrated from Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws in the Chapter of Ziarat [5] , when you arrive in ‘Naniwa’ (another name of Karbala) then unpack your luggage, do not massage your body with oil, don’t wear ‘Surma’ (make-up for eyes) and until the time you stay there do not eat meat .
VERSE 48 وَمَا نُرِيهِمْ مِنْ آيَةٍ إِلَّا هِيَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا ۖ وَأَخَذْنَاهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ {48} And We did not Show them a Sign but it was greater than its counterpart, and We Seized them with the Punishment, perhaps they would return [43:48] وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَكْرٍ الْأَرَّجَانِيِّ قَالَ: صَحِبْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا يُقَالُ لَهُ عُسْفَانُ ثُمَّ مَرَرْنَا بِجَبَلٍ أَسْوَدَ عَنْ يَسَارِ الطَّرِيقِ مُوحِشٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَا أَوْحَشَ هَذَا الْجَبَلَ مَا رَأَيْتُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ مِثْلَ هَذَا And by this chain, from Abdullah Al Asamma, from Abdullah Bin Bakeyr Al Arjany who said, ‘I accompanied Abu Abdullah -asws in a road of Makkah from Al-Medina.
We encamped at a station called Usfan. Then we passed by a mountain darker than the wild neglected road. I said to him -asws , ‘O son -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww ! How desolate is this mountain. I have not seen in the road the like of this!’ فَقَالَ لِي يَا ابْنَ بَكْرٍ أَ تَدْرِي أَيُّ جَبَلٍ هَذَا قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ هَذَا جَبَلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْكَمَدُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى وَادٍ مِنْ أَوْدِيَةِ جَهَنَّمَ وَ فِيهِ قَتَلَةُ أَبِيَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع اسْتَوْدَعَهُمْ فِيهِ So he -asws said to me: ‘O Ibn Bakeyr!
Do you know which mountain is this?’ I said, ‘No’. He -asws said: ‘This is a mountain called Al-Kamad, and it is upon a valley from the valleys of Hell, and in it, they (the killers) of my -asws father -asws Al-Hussain -asws have been deposited into it.
