The rewards for visiting Imam Hussein (pbuh) by foot

* Imam Al-Sadiq (pbuh) said:" He who visits the grave of Al-Hussein (pbuh) on foot, Allah shall write for him one thousand good deeds, erase one thousand sins and raise him one thousand ranks for every step he takes."

* Ali Bin Maymoun Al-Sa'egh said:" Imam Al-Sadiq (pbuh) said:" O Ali! Visit Al-Hussein and don't abandon him." I said:" What rewards will the one who visits him have?" He said:" He who visits him on foot, Allah will write for him a good deed, will erase one of his sins and will raise him a rank for every step he takes."" (1)

 

* Ali Bin Maymoun Al-Sa'egh said:" Imam Al-Sadiq (pbuh) said:" O Ali! Visit Al-Hussein and don't abandon him." I said:" What rewards will the one who visits him have?" He said:" He who visits him on foot, Allah will write for him a good deed, will erase one of his sins and will raise him a rank for every step he takes. When he visits him, Allah will entrust two angles to watch him; they will write everything good that comes out of his mouth and won't write any evil that comes out of his mouth or anything else and when he leaves, they will say their farewells to him and say:" O follower of Allah, you have been forgiven. You are from the Party of Allah, the Party of His Prophet and the Part of the Household of His Prophet. By Allah! Your eyes shall never see Hell and it shall never see you either nor will it ever feed you." (2)

 

* Imam Al-Sadiq (pbuh) said to Basheer:" O Basheer, when one of you bathes himself (by Ghosol) on the bank of Al-Forat and then comes and visits the grave of Al-Hussein (pbuh) knowing his right, Allah will write for him for every foot that he lifts up and puts down, one hundred accepted pilgrimages, one hundred accepted Omra and one hundred battles with a prophet sent to the enemies of Allah and the enemies of His Messenger."

It was Reported from Bashir Al-Dahan that Imam Al-Sadiq (pbuh) said:" Indeed, when a man went to the Shrine of Al-Hussein (pbuh), he shall be rewarded by each step a forgiveness of his sins, then he will be exalted by each step until he reached the shrine, so then Allah said to him:" O my servant, ask me I will give you, call me, I will answer you, ask your needs I will satisfy it for you." Imam Al-Sadiq (pbuh) said:" It is a right on Allah to gave what He expended."
 
*Sodair Al-Sayrafi said:" we were in the house of Imam Al-Baqer (pbuh), so a boy mentioned the Shrine of Al-Hussein (pbuh). Imam Al-Baqer (pbuh) said:" Indeed, whoever visits him, Allah shall write in every step a good deed and erase one of his sins." 
 
*Imam Al-Sadeq (pbuh):”He who left his home to visit the grave of Al-Hussein Bin Ali (pbuh) if he was on foot Allah will write for him a good deed, will erase one of his sins for every step he takes, till he reaches the shrine, Allah shall place him at the rank of the successful, when he finishes his rituals, Allah shall place him at the rank of the winners, and as he is leaving an angel comes to him and says:”The Messenger of Allah (PBUHP) salutes you and said:”keep on with your deeds, you are forgiven.”
