L'Excellence et la Vertu de Visiter Abu al-Hassan, al-Rida, ‘Alayhi al-Salam

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ali ibn Ibrahim al-Ja’fariy from Hamdan ibn Ishaq who has said the following: “I heard abu Ja‘far, or it was narrated to me from abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam”, -uncertainty is from Ali ibn Ibrahim- “that abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Whoever visits my father in Tus (Iran), Allah forgives his sins of the past and those that comes later on.’ He (the narrator) has said, ‘I then performed al-Hajj after Ziyarat (visit). Thereafter, I met Ayyub ibn Nuh who said to me, ‘Abu Ja‘far, the 2nd, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, “Whoever visits the grave of my father in Tus, Allah forgives his sins of the past and that which come later. Allah builds for his use a pulpit, parallel to those for Muhammad and Ali, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, until He will complete all creatures, accounting.’” I (the narrator) saw him when he already had visited and said, ‘I have come to claim my pulpit.’”

Celui qui visite la tombe de mon père à Tous, Allah pardonnera ses péchés passés et futurs, et Allah lui construira une estrade dans la chaussure de l'estrade de Muhammad et Ali (que la paix soit sur eux) jusqu'à ce qu'Allah ait fini de rendre compte aux créatures.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ali ibn al-Husayn al-Naysaburiy from Ibrahim ibn Ahmad from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Sa‘id al-Makkiy from Yahya’ ibn Sulayman al-Mazeniy who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, Musa, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Whoever visits the grave of my son, Ali it is before Allah like performing seventy thousand well-performed accepted Hajjah.’ He (the narrator) said, I asked, ‘Is it seventy well-performed Hajjah?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, and it is seventy thousand Hajjah.’ I then said, ‘Seventy thousand Hajjah!’ He (the Imam) said, ‘A Hajjah perhaps is not accepted. One who visits him and spends the night near his grave is as if one’s visiting Allah in His Throne. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, on the Day of Judgment, on the Throne of the Beneficent there will be four from those of the earlier times and four from the latter generations. The four from the earlier generations are Nuh, Ibrahim, Moses and Jesus, ‘Alayhim al-Salam. The four from the later generations are Muhammad, Ali, al-Hassan and al-Husayn, ‘Alayhim al-Salam. Thereafter, the leveling tool is applied and along with us will sit those who have visited the graves of ’A’immah, and among them of the highest degree and the first to receive gifts are those who have visited the grave of my son, Ali, ‘Alayhi al-Salam.”’

Celui qui visite la tombe de mon fils Ali aura auprès d'Allah une récompense équivalente à soixante-dix pèlerinages acceptés. J'ai dit: Soixante-dix pèlerinages? Il a dit: Oui, et soixante-dix mille pèlerinages. J'ai dit: Soixante-dix mille pèlerinages? Il a dit: Même une pèlerinage qui ne sera pas acceptée, si quelqu'un le visite et passe la nuit près de lui, sera comme s'il avait visité Allah sur Son Trône. Il a dit: Oui, le Jour de la Résurrection, il sera avec le Trône du Tout-Miséricordieux, quatre parmi les premiers et quatre parmi les derniers. Quant aux quatre parmi les premiers, ce sont Noé, Abraham, Moïse et Jésus (sur eux le salut), et quant aux quatre parmi les derniers, ce sont Muhammad, Ali, Hassan et Hussein, que les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur eux. Ensuite, le tapis sera étendu et celui qui visite les tombes des Imams (sur eux le salut) s'assiéra avec nous, sauf que certains d'entre eux auront un rang plus élevé et les plus proches seront les visiteurs de la tombe de mon fils Ali (sur lui le salut).

5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from Salih ibn ‘Uqbah from Zayd al-Shahham who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘What is the reward for one who visits the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is like visiting Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, on His Throne.’ He (the narrator) has said that I then asked, ‘What is the reward for one who visits any one of you?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is like visiting the Messenger of Allah.’”
