Hazret Fatimeh Masumeh (A) the Blessed and the Gracious Divine Lady from the Holy Ahlul Bayt (A) was born in the holy city of Madinah on the First Day of the month of Zee Qa’dah 173 A.H. His holy father was Imam Musa al-Kazim (A),the Seventh Holy Imam and Imam Reza (A),the Eighth Holy Imam was his elder brother.
\nRegarding the rewards awarded to those who perform the ziarat (pilgrimage) of Karimah Ahli Bait Hazret Fatimeh Al-Masumeh (A), there have been many traditions from the Imams from the holy progeny of holy Prophet Hazret Muhammad (S). Some of these are mentioned below:
\n1. Imam as-Sa-diq (A) has said:
\n\u0648\u064e\u0633\u064e\u062a\u064f\u062f\u0652\u0641\u064e\u0646\u064f \u0641\u064a\u0647\u0627 \u0627\u0645\u0652\u0631\u064e\u0623\u0629\u064c \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0627\u064e\u0648\u0652\u0644\u0627\u062f\u064a \u062a\u064f\u0633\u064e\u0645\u0651\u0649 \u0641\u0627\u0637\u0650\u0645\u064e\u0629\u064e\u060c \u0641\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0632\u0627\u0631\u064e\u0647\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u062c\u064e\u0628\u064e\u062a\u0652 \u0644\u064e\u0647\u064f \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0646\u0651\u0629<\/p>\n
\u201cA lady from my children, by the name of Fatima will be buried in Qum. Whoever visits her [shrine], will certainly be admitted to Heaven.\u201d Biha-r al-Anwa-r , vol. 48, p. 317; vol. 60, p. 216 & vol. 102, p. 266.
\n2. Imam as-Sa-diq (A) has also said:
\n\u0627\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0632\u0650\u064a\u0627\u0631\u064e\u062a\u064e\u064e\u064e\u064e\u0647\u0627 \u062a\u064e\u064e\u064e\u064e\u0639\u0652\u062f\u0650\u0644\u064f \u0627\u0644\u062c\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0629
\n\u201cVisiting her earns Heaven.\u201d Biha-r al-Anwa-r, vol. 60, p. 219.
\n3. Sa`d ibn Sa`d al-Ash`ari- narrates, \u201cI asked Imam ar-Rida- (A) about the reward awarded for performing the pilgrimage of Lady Fatimeh Masumeh (A) and the Imam (A) replied:\u201d
\n\u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0632\u0627\u0631\u064e\u0647\u0627 \u0641\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0647\u064f \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0646\u0651\u0629
\n\u201cWhoever visits her [shrine], his reward will be Heaven.\u201d Uyu-n Akhba-r al-Rida- , vol. 2, p. 267.
\n4. Imam ar-Rida- (A) has also said:
\n\u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0632\u0627\u0631\u064e\u0647\u0627 \u0639\u0627\u0631\u0650\u0641\u0627\u064b \u0628\u0650\u062d\u064e\u0642\u0651\u0650\u0647\u0627 \u0641\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0647\u064f \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0646\u0651\u0629
\n\u201cWhoever visits her [shrine], while knowing and being aware of her high status, the reward for him will be Heaven.\u201d Biha-r al-Anwa-r , vol. 48, p. 317
\n5. Imam ar-Rida- (A) has also said:
\n\u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0632\u0627\u0631\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0639\u0652\u0635\u0648\u0645\u064e\u0629\u064e \u0628\u0650\u0642\u064f\u0645\u0651 \u0643\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0632\u0627\u0631\u064e\u0646\u064a
\n\u201cWhoever visits Masumeh in Qum , it is like he has visited me.\u201d Na-sikh al-Tawa-ri-kh , vol. 3, p. 68; Raya-hi-n al-Shari-`a , vol. 5, p. 35
\nAnd Imam ar-Rida- (A) has also said:
\n\u0627\u064e\u0644\u0627 \u0641\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0632\u0627\u0631\u064e\u0646\u064a \u0648\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0648\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0644\u0649 \u063a\u064f\u0633\u0652\u0644\u064d\u060c \u062e\u064e\u0631\u064e\u062c\u064e \u0645\u0650\u0646 \u0652\u0630\u0646\u0648\u0628\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0643\u064e\u064a\u0648\u0645\u064d \u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u062f\u064e\u062a\u0652\u0647\u064f \u0627\u064f\u0645\u0651\u064f\u0647\u064f
\n\u201cBe aware, whoever visits me in a state of purity [after doing ghusl], he will come out of sin and become cleansed [purified of sin], as if he has just been born from his mother.\u201d Uyu-n Akhba-r al-Rida-a , vol. 2, p. 260
\nTherefore, it follows that that same purity is obtained from performing the pilgrimage of Lady Fatimeh Masumeh (A).
\n6. A devotee went to perform the pilgrimage of Imam ar-Rida- (A) and after the pilgrimage he decided to go to Karbala- . On his way, he saw Imam ar-Rida- (A) in a dream. Imam (A) said to him, \u201cWhy did you not also pass through Qum and perform the pilgrimage at the grave of my sister?\u201d Anwa-r al-Masha`sha`i-n , vol. 1, p. 212
\n7. Mulla- Haydar Kha-nsa-ri- narrates a tradition from Imam ar-Rida- (A): \u201cWhoever is unable to perform my pilgrimage, he should perform the pilgrimage of my brother in Ray [Hadrat Hamzah, buried near Hadrat `Abd al-`A?i-m] or my sister [Lady Fatimeh Masumeh (A)] in Qum. He will get the same reward as he would for performing my pilgrimage.\u201d Mulla- Haydar Khwa-nsa-ri-, Zubdat al-Tasa-ni-f , vol. 6, p. 159.
\n8. Imam Muhammad Taqi- al-Jawa-d (A) has said:
\n\u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0632\u0627\u0631\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0645\u0651\u064e\u062a\u064a \u0628\u0650\u0642\u064f\u0645\u0651 \u0641\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0647\u064f \u0627\u0644\u062c\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0629\u064f
\n\u201cWhoever visits my aunt [Lady Fatimeh Masumeh (A)] in Qum , will enter Heaven.\u201d Biha-r al-Anwa-r, vol. 102, p. 265
\nFrom the foregoing traditions we can see the immense reward, narrated from three Imams (A), of performing the pilgrimage of this noble lady.
\nAn interesting point is that, in tradition no. 5 above, Imam ar-Rida- (A) has made the reward of performing the pilgrimage of Lady Fatimeh Masumeh (A) equal to that of performing pilgrimage at his own grave.
\nIt is also interesting to compare this tradition with the following: Imam as-Sa-diq (A) was asked, \u201cwhat is the reward of someone who performs the pilgrimage of one of the Imams (A)?\u201d Imam (A) replied:
\n\u0643\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u0632\u0627\u0631\u064e \u0631\u064e\u0633\u0648\u0644\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647
\n\u201cIt is like he has visited the Prophet (S) of Allah.\u201d Uyu-n Akhba-r al-Rida-, vol. 2, p. 262<\/p>\n
