Merits

Ḥasan b. ʿAlī Washā' recounts his conversation with Imām Riḍā^(a), wherein he inquired whether the reward for visiting the grave of Imām Kāẓim^(a) equals that of visiting Ḥusayn's grave. The Imām^(a) affirmed this equivalency.

Ḥusayn b. Yasār Wāṣitī shares a narrative where he asked Imām Riḍā^(a) about the appropriateness of visiting Imām Kāẓim's grave in Baghdad. The Imām's response was affirmative, but with the advice to perform the visit behind a veil.

Again, Ḥasan b. ʿAlī Washā' posed a question to Imām Riḍā^(a) about the rewards bestowed upon those who visit the grave of his father, Imām Mūsā Kāẓim^(a). The Imām's response mirrored his earlier statement, asserting that the rewards are the same as those given to visitors of Ḥusayn's grave.

In a dialogue between an unnamed companion and Imām Riḍā^(a), the companion asked about performing the ziyārah of Imām Mūsā Kāẓim's grave. The Imām^(a) advised to conduct prayers in the mosques adjacent to the grave.

Ḥusayn b. Yasār Wāṣitī narrated another conversation with Imām Riḍā^(a), in which he asked about the rewards for visiting his father's grave, Imām Mūsā Kāẓim's. The Imām^(a) explained that the rewards are equal to those given for visiting his own father, The Messenger of Allah^(p). Upon expressing fear of visiting the grave directly, the Imām advised offering salām from behind a wall.

Ḥusayn b. Muḥammad Qummī documents a dialogue with Imām Riḍā^(a), where the Imām noted that visitors to his father's grave in Baghdad share the same blessings as those visiting The Messenger of Allah^(p) and Amīr al-Muʼminīn's graves, but with certain unique rewards bestowed upon visitors to the latter two.

ʿAbdul Raḥmān b. Abū Najrān narrates an exchange with Imām Taqī^(a), during which he queried the reward for those who visit The Messenger of Allah's grave for the sole purpose of ziyārah. The Imām affirmed the reward as paradise, as well as for those visiting the grave of Imām Kāẓim^(a), similarly earning paradise.

Imām Riḍā^(a) has also been recorded to equate the ziyārah of his father, Imām Mūsā Kāẓim's grave, with that of Ḥusayn's grave.

Raḥīm recalls a conversation with Imām Riḍā^(a) where he expressed his struggles in performing the ziyārah of Imām Mūsā Kāẓim's grave in Baghdad, and the consequent decision to offer salām from behind a wall. He queried the rewards for such an act, to which the Imām^(a) confirmed, by swearing to Allah, that the rewards were akin to those for visiting the grave of The Messenger of Allah^(p).

Raḥīm shares a conversation with Imām Riḍā^(a), where he expressed the difficulties encountered during the ziyārah to Imām Mūsā Kāẓim's grave in Baghdad. He inquired about the rewards for undertaking such a ziyārah, to which the Imām stated that they are equivalent to those for visiting the grave of Ḥusayn^(a). As this dialogue concluded, a man entered, greeted the Imām, and started discussing the impending disasters predicted for Baghdad, including ground collapse, social unrest, and lightning strikes. As Raḥīm departed, he overheard the Imām^(a) reassuring that none of these calamities would impact Imām Mūsā Kāẓim^(a).

Ibrahim b. 'Uqbah recounts an interaction with Imām Ali Naqī^(a). He had written to the Imām inquiring about the ziyārah to the graves of Imām Ḥusayn^(a), Imām Kāẓim^(a), and Imām Taqī^(a). In his response, Imām^(a) prioritised Imām Ḥusayn^(a) but emphasised that the ziyārah to the graves of Imām Kāẓim^(a) and Imām Taqī^(a) was more comprehensive and yielded greater rewards.

ʿAbdul Raḥmān b. Abū Najrān narrates his conversation with Imām Taqī^(a) in which he asked about the rewards for those who visit The Messenger of Allah's grave solely for the sake of ziyārah. The Imām^(a) affirmed that the reward for such devotees is paradise, as is the reward for those visiting the grave of Imām Kāẓim^(a).
