The Ziyārah of Ĥusain (a.s.) and the Other Imams (a.s.) Is Equal to the Ziyārah of the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.)

(Imam Sādiq (a.s.) said): Those who want their struggle at the time of death to be made easy for them, those who want their fear for that which is coming (Judgment) to be reduced, and those who want to be able to look at Allāh on the Day of Judgment, should increasingly go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.). Verily the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) is the Ziyārah of the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.).

Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Verily the Zā`ir of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) is the Zā`ir of the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.).

I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)), “What is the reward for those who go to the Ziyārah of one of you (the Imams (a.s.))?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “They are like those who have gone to the Ziyārah of the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.).” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: My father, from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl ibn Bazī’, from Sāliḥ ibn ‘Uqbah, from Zayd Al-Shaḥḥām, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.).
