Chapter: The Reward for Going to the Ziyārah of Ĥusain (a.s.) on Foot or by Any Means of Transport, Allāh’s Confidential Discourse with the Zā`ir of Ĥusain (a.s.) 4 وَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ ٠ُوسَى بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ وَ جَ٠ُ اللَّهُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْ٠ُغِيرَةِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَا٠ِرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْ٠َكْفُوفِ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّا٠ِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ ٠َنْ أَتَى قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) ٠َاشِياً كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ وَ ٠َحَا عَنْهُ أَلْفَ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ رَفَعَ لَهُ أَلْفَ دَرَجَةٍ فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَ الْفُرَاتَ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ عَلِّقْ نَعْلَيْكَ وَ ا٠ْشِ حَافِياً وَ ا٠َشْيَ الْعَبْدِ الذَّلِيلِ فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَ بَابَ الْحَائِرِ فَكَبِّرْ أَرْبَعاً ثُ٠َّ كَبِّرْ أَرْبَعاً ثُ٠َّ ائْتِ رَأْسَهُ فَقِفْ عَلَيْهِ فَكَبِّرْ أَرْبَعاً [فَكَبِّرْ وَ صَلِّ عِنْدَهُ وَ اسْأَلْ] وَ صَلِّ أَرْبَعاً وَ اسْأَلِ اللَّهَ حَاجَتَكَ 4. ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain ibn Mūsā ibn Bābawayh and a group (of my scholars) narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Mughīrah, from ‘Abbās ibn ‘Āmir, from Jābir Al-Makfūf, from Abil Sāmit, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: Allāh will register one thousand good deeds and erase one thousand bad deeds for every step taken by those who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) on foot. He will also increase their status one thousand times (for every step taken). Imam (a.s.) added: When you arrive at the Euphrates (River), perform Ghusl, carry your shoes, and walk barefoot like a humble slave. Once you arrive at the door of the Ḥā`ir, recite (the phrase of) TAKBǏR four times. Then walk a little and repeat this four more times. Then approach the location close to his head, stand there and repeat it four more times. Establish prayers next to his grave and ask Allāh for your needs.
