Ali Ibn Al-Husayn Ibn Musa ibn Babawiyyah and the group of Allah have mercy on them told me about Sa’ad ibn Abdullah about Al-Hasan Ibn Ali Ibn Abdullah Ibn Al-Mughairah about Al-Abbas Ibn Amer about Jaber Al-Makhuf about Abu Al-Samat and he said I heard: Abu Abdullah -asws (Imam Al- Sadiq -asws ) said: The Almighty Allah -azwj Records a thousand good deeds and erases a thousand sins for every step taken by one who performs the Ziyarat of Imam Hussain -asws on foot.
He will also increase their status a thousand times for every step. Then Imam -asws said: When you arrive at Euphrates, perform Ghusl, ‘وَ عَلِّقْ نَعْلَيْكَ وَ امْشِ حَافِياً وَ امْشِ مَشْيَ الْعَبْدِ الذَّلِيلِ’ and remove your shoes and walk barefoot like the ‘Mashi’ (walk) of a humble servant. Once you arrive at the door of the holy shrine, recite Takbir four times. Then walk a little and repeat this four more times. Then come near his head, stand there and repeat it four more times.
