Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazie, from Salih Bin Uqba, from Yazeed Bin Abdul Malik who said, ‘I was with Abu Abdullah^asws and a group of people passed by (riding) upon donkeys. So he^asws said: ‘Where are they intending (to go to)?’ I said, ‘Graves of the martyrs’. He^asws said: ‘So what is preventing them from the <span class="iTxt">Ziyarah</span> of the martyr, the alienated?’ So a man from the people of Al-Iraq said, ‘Is his^asws <span class="iTxt">Ziyarah</span> Obligatory?’ He^asws said: ‘His^asws <span class="iTxt">Ziyarah</span> is better than a Hajj and an Umra, and an Umra, and a Hajj’ – until he^asws had counted twenty Hajj and Umra’. Then he^asws said: the ‘Accepted, properly performed’ (ones). He (the narrator) said, ‘I had not arisen until a man came over, and he said to him^asws, ‘I have performed nineteen Hajjs, so supplicate to Allah^azwj to Grace me with completing the twentieth Hajj’. He^asws said: ‘Have you performed the <span class="iTxt">Ziyarah</span> of the grave of Al-Husayn^asws?’ He said, ‘No’. He^asws said: ‘His^asws <span class="iTxt">Ziyarah</span> is better than twenty Hajjs’.
