Chapter 64 | The Reward for the Ziyārah of Ĥusain Is Equal to the Reward of Performing a Hajj
4 وَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) مَا يُقَالُ إِنَّ زِيَارَةَ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) تَعْدِلُ حِجَّةً وَ عُمْرَةً قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا الْحَجُّ وَ الْعُمْرَةُ هَاهُنَا وَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَرَادَ الْحَجَّ وَ لَمْ يَتَهَيَّأْ لَهُ فَأَتَاهُ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ حِجَّةً وَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَرَادَ الْعُمْرَةَ وَ لَمْ يَتَهَيَّأْ لَهُ كُتِبَتْ لَهُ عُمْرَةٌ
4. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from his father, from Ibn Abī ‘Umayr, from Hishām ibn Ḥakam, from ‘Abdil Karīm ibn Ḥassān, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq ), “What does it mean when it is said that going to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain is equal to performing a Hajj and an ‘Umrah?” Imam replied: Verily Hajj and ‘Umrah can only be performed here (in Makkah). However, if one decides to go to Hajj but does not have the means (to do so) and goes to Ḥusain instead, Allāh will register a Hajj for him. (Similarly) if someone decides to perform an ‘Umrah but does not have the means (to do so and goes to Ḥusain instead), an ‘Umrah will be registered for him.
