Hadith 450

15. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Qurashi Al-Kūfi Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl ibn Bazī’, from Sāliḥ ibn ‘Uqbah, from Yazīd ibn ‘Abdil Malik, who said
I was with Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) when a group of people who were riding on donkeys passed by. Imam (a.s.) asked, “Where are they going?” I replied, “To the graves of the martyrs (of Uḥud).” Imam (a.s.) asked, “What prevents them from going to the Ziyārah of the lonely (abandoned) Martyr?” One of the people who was from Iraq asked, “Is going to his Ziyārah obligatory?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “His Ziyārah is better than performing Hajj and ‘Umrah, and another Hajj and ‘Umrah, and another Hajj and ‘Umrah, and…” Yazīd ibn ‘Abdil Malik added: Imam (a.s.) mentioned twenty purified and accepted Hajj and ‘Umrah. And I swear to Allāh that I did not leave the Imam (a.s.) until a man came to him and said, “I have gone to Hajj nineteen times. Please pray for me so that Allāh sustains me with the twentieth time.” Imam (a.s.) asked, “Have you ever gone to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)?” The man replied, “No.” Imam (a.s.) said, “Verily going to his Ziyārah is better than twenty Hajj.”
15 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ الرَّزَّازُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ
كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَمَرَّ قَوْمٌ عَلَى حَمِيرٍ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ يُرِيدُونَ هَؤُلَاءِ قُلْتُ قُبُورَ الشُّهَدَاءِ قَالَ فَمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ الشَّهِيدِ الْغَرِيبِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ زِيَارَتُهُ وَاجِبَةٌ قَالَ زِيَارَتُهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ حِجَّةٍ وَ عُمْرَةٍ حَتَّى عَدَّ عِشْرِينَ حِجَّةً وَ عُمْرَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ مَبْرُورَاتٍ مُتَقَبَّلَاتٍ- قَالَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا قُمْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنِّي قَدْ حَجَجْتُ تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ حِجَّةً- فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي تَمَامَ الْعِشْرِينَ قَالَ فَهَلْ زُرْتَ قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) قَالَ لَا قَالَ إِنَّ زِيَارَتَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عِشْرِينَ حِجَّةً
