Mourning of Imam Husain (a.s) Hadith:22

Tradition 22

Through successive chain of narrators, the Honourable and felicitous Shaikh Abu Ja'far Toosi, through his chain of transmitters, relates from Mohammad bin Muslim, who says that I have heard Imam Mohammad al Baqir (a.s) and Imam Ja'far as Sadiq (a.s) as saying that,

"Indeed the reward and compen‌sation given by Allah for the martyrdom of Imam Husain (a.s) is that Imamate has been issued forth from his progeny, there is cure in (the earth of) his grave, the fulfillment of desires at the head of his grave, and from the time the pilgrim goes to visit his grave and returns back, no accounting will be taken (from him)."

Mohammad bin Muslim asked Imam Sadiq (a.s), "These rewards are (for the people) on account of Imam, but what about the reward for him." Imam replied,

"Indeed Almighty Allah has united him with the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s) and Imam remains with the Prophet in his station and position."

Then he recited the following verse of the Qur'an:

"And (as for) those who believe and their offspring follow them in faith, We will unite with them their offspring."[1]
