Best of All Deeds

Sālim b. Mukram al-Jamāl narrates: “I asked Imām Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq^(a) regarding the ziyārah of the grave of al-Ḥusayn^(a).” Imām^(a) replied, “It is the best of all deeds.”

Imām Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq^(a) narrates: “Performing the ziyārah of the grave of al-Ḥusayn^(a) is the most beloved of all deeds by Allāh. And the action that Allāh likes the most is when a believer helps another. And the nearest a slave can get to Allāh is when he performs prostration while crying.”
