Chapter 2: Reward For The Ziyarah Of Allah's Messenger (S)

Tradition 1: Allah's Messenger (S) said: On Judgment Day, I will intercede for one who performs my Ziyarah.

Tradition 2: When Imam Jawad ('a) was asked about the reward for one who performs the Ziyarah of Allah's Messenger (S) solely for (the purpose of) Ziyarah, Imam ('a) replied, “Paradise.”

Tradition 3 & 4: Same as no. 2.

Tradition 5: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) ordered me (the narrator) to pray in the Prophet's mosque as much as I could. He told me that I would not be able to pray there whenever I wanted to; so, I should make most of the opportunity.

Then Imam ('a) asked .me, “Do you visit the grave of Allah's Messenger (S)? “Yes,” I replied. Imam ('a) said, “Indeed, Allah's Messenger (S) hears you if you perform his Ziyarah from near and he shall be informed if you perform his Ziyarah from far.”

Tradition 6: Almost same as no. 5.

Tradition 7 & 8: Same as no. 2.

Tradition 9: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) said: Allah's Messenger (S) said: On Judgment Day, I will turn away from one who goes to Mecca for Hajj but does not come to Medina for my Ziyarah. It is necessary for one who performs my Ziyarah to be included in my intercession and Paradise is guaranteed for one who is interceded by me. Then he said: One who dies in one of the two sanctuaries (Mecca or Medina) will not be brought to judgment. He will be counted as one who died while migrating to Allah and will be resurrected with fighters of Badr on Judgment Day.

Tradition 1O: Allah's Messenger (S) said: On Judgment Day, I will intercede for one who comes to my Ziyarah.

Tradition 11: Allah's Messenger (S) said: One who performs my Ziyarah during my lifetime or after my passing away will be in my neighbourhood on Judgment Day.

Tradition 12: Allah's Messenger (S) said: One who performs my Ziyarah after my passing away is like one who visited me during my lifetime, and I will be his witness and intercessor on Judgment Day.

Tradition 13: Same as no. 12

Tradition 14: Allah's Messenger (S) said: On Judgment Day, I will intercede for one who comes to Medina for my Ziyarah, expecting divine rewards.

Tradition 15: Imam Jawad ('a) was asked, “What is the reward for one who performs the Ziyarah of Allah's Messenger (S) with sincerity?”

Imam ('a) replied, “Allah will admit him to Paradise.”

Tradition 16: Same as no. 12

Tradition 17: Allah's Messenger (S) said: One who comes to the Ziyarah of my grave after my passing away is like one who has migrated to me during my lifetime. So, if you cannot come for my Ziyarah, convey your salutation to me, for it is sure to reach me.

Tradition 18: Same as Chapter 1, Tradition 2.

Tradition 19: Same as no. 18

Tradition 20: Imam Al-Baqir ('a) said: Indeed, Ziyarah of the grave of Allah's Messenger (S) is equal to an accepted Hajj performed in the company of Allah's Messenger (S).

Tradition 21: Imam As-Sadiq (‘a) was asked, “What is the reward of one who performs the Ziyarah of the grave of Allah's Messenger (S)?”

Imam ('a) replied, “He is like one who performs the Ziyarah of Allah on His Throne.”
