Disregarding what has been narrated from reliable sources about its endorsement from the unseen realm (''al-ta’yidat al-ghaybiyya''), which in itself suffices as a proof of the authenticity of this sacred ''Ziarat'', the chain of narration mentioned in ''Misbah al-Mutahajjid'' after this ''Ziarat'' is veracious. | Disregarding what has been narrated from reliable sources about its endorsement from the unseen realm (''al-ta’yidat al-ghaybiyya''), which in itself suffices as a proof of the authenticity of this sacred ''Ziarat'', the chain of narration mentioned in ''Misbah al-Mutahajjid'' after this ''Ziarat'' is veracious. | ||
== The Significance of Ziarat Ashura == | |||
The following traditions indicate and highlight the merits of reciting Ziarat Ashura. | |||
=== Tradition 1 === | |||
Alqamah bin Mohammed ibn Hazrami narrates 'I requested [[Mohammad al-Baqir|Imam Baqir]] to teach me a [[Du|du’a]] that I should recite on the day of [[Ashura]] after the reciting the Ziarat of Imam Hussain- from near his grave or from a distance.' Imam replied: 'O Alqamah, whenever you wish to recite the Ziarat of Imam Hussain, you first perform two units of prayers. Then turn towards the grave of Imam Hussain and while pointing towards it, you first say 'Salam' and then 'Takbir'. Thereafter, you recite this Ziarat (Ziarat Ashura). If you do so, then as if you have recited the supplication read by the angels while visiting the grave of Imam Hussain. Moreover, when you recite this Ziarat, then | |||
* Allah will increase your grade one million times | |||
* You will be included among those people who were martyred along with Imam Hussain | |||
* On the day of Judgment, you will be included among the martyrs | |||
* You will get the reward of all the Prophets who have visited the grave of Imam Hussain from the day that he was martyred till date. | |||
At the end of this tradition, Imam Baqir says, 'O Alqamah, if you can, then recite this Ziarat every day send salutations to Imam Hussain. You will get all the rewards (of the one who recites it on the day of Ashura).<ref>Kamil al-Ziyarat, Chapter 71, p. 191</ref> | |||
=== Tradition 2 === | |||
[[Jaʿfar al-Sadiq|Imam Sadiq]] says: 'The one who visits the grave of Imam Hussain on the day of Ashura or spends the night near his grave, then it is as if he attained martyrdom along with him.' Many Ziyaaraat have been mentioned that can be recited on the day of Ashura. But the Ziarat mentioned by Janab Safwan is more common and it is Hadith-e-Qudsi. | |||
=== Tradition 3 === | |||
Imam Sadiq mentions, 'The one who visits the grave of Imam Hussain knowing his right (of Imamate) then it is as if he has done the Ziarat of Allah on the Arsh.<ref>Kamil al-Ziyarat, Chapter 71, p. 192</ref> | |||
=== Tradition 4 === | |||
Abdullah bin Fazl narrates, 'Once I was in the presence of Imam Sadiq when a person from the city of 'Toos' came to visit him. He asked. 'O son of the Messenger of Allah! What do you have to say for the one who visits the grave of Aba Abdillah on the day of Ashura?' | |||
Imam replied, 'O Toosi! The one who visits the grave of Aba Abdillah while he acknowledges that his obedience is obligatory from the side of Allah, then all his past and future sins shall be forgiven. He will be granted the right of intercession for seventy sinners. There will be no supplication that he shall ask from Allah near the grave of Aba Abdillah except that it shall be accepted.<ref>Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 101, pg. 23</ref> When we ponder over the above traditions, we realize the miraculous nature and effects of Ziarat Ashura. These traditions also bear testimony to the veracity of the earlier incidents. | |||
