One who goes for the Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) knowing his right, angels will go with him till he returns to his homeland. If he falls ill they would treat him day and night.

Probably you are thinking that I am a prophet of Allah. I swear by Allah that it is not so and I am in relation with the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) and I am from his progeny. Whoever does good to us will receive goodness from God. Allah will love one who loves us. Allah will deprive one who deprives us. Do you know which part of land is best in position near Allah?” Everyone remained silent. Imam (a.s.) continued, “This holy Mecca is the land most liked by Allah. He made it His Sanctuary and considered it as His house. Do you know which part of Mecca is most honored?” Everyone remained silent and Imam (a.s.) replied himself, “Masjidul Haraam is the most honored part of Mecca. Do you know which place of Masjidul Haraam is most honored by Allah?” Everyone kept quiet and Imam (a.s.) replied himself once again, “That place is between rukn-e-Aswad, maqaam-e-Ibrahim and the door of Kaaba. This is the place of Hateem of Ismail. He had given his sacrifice over here and offered Salaat. I swear by Allah that one who offers prayers at this place standing all night and fasts during day but if he is unaware of our rights and greatness of we, Ahle Bayt, Allah will never accept any of his deeds.”

He was told that illegitimate children will not be purified and none of their deeds will be accepted. The worshipper emerged in the mountains and asked: What is my fault in it?”
