Hadith 1: Reason for going to Ziyarat
From the supplication of Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) for the visitors of Imam Husain (عليه السلام):
اغْفِرْ لِي وَ لِإِخْوَانِي وَ زُوَّارِ قَبْرِ أَبِيَ الْحُسَيْنِ الَّذِينَ أَنْفَقُوا أَمْوَالَهُمْ وَ أَشْخَصُوا أَبْدَانَهُمْ رَغْبَةً فِي بِرِّنَا وَ رَجَاءً لِمَا عِنْدَكَ فِي صِلَتِنَا وَ سُرُوراً أَدْخَلُوهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّكَ وَ إِجَابَةً مِنْهُمْ لِأَمْرِنَا وَ غَيْظاً أَدْخَلُوهُ عَلَى عَدُوِّنَا- أَرَادُوا بِذَلِكَ رِضَاكَ
"Forgive Me, my brothers & the visitors (zuwwar) of the grave of Imam Husain (عليه السلام) - those who spent their wealth, put their bodies through trouble (in going for Ziyarat):
With the desire of doing good to Us,
And in hope of the reward near You for staying connected with Us,
And for the happiness it will bring to Your Prophet (S),
And in obeying Our commands,
And for the anger it causes to Our enemy.
Through this they seek Your pleasure."

Hadith 2:
Narrated that Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) said as part of long narration:
يبكيه من زاره، ويحزن له من لم يزره، ويحترق له من لم يشهده، ويرحمه من نظر إلى قبر ابنه عند رجله
"Whoever visits Imam Husayn (عليه السلام) cries for Him,
And the one who does not visit Him grieves over Him.
The (heart of the) one who does see Him burns for him,
And the one who sees the grave of His son (Ali al-Akbar) at this feet, feels intense compassion for Him."
[Source: Kamil al-Ziyarat, Pg. 538]
Hadith 3: The Shadow of the visitor of Imam Husain (ع)
Part of a narration from Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام):
وان زائره ليخرج من رحله فما يقع فيؤه على شي الا دعا له، فإذا وقعت الشمس عليه اكلت ذنوبه كما تأكل النار الحطب، وما تبقي الشمس عليه من ذنوبه شيئا فينصرف وما عليه ذنب
"And when the visitor of Imam Husain (عليه السلام) departs from His journey, his shadow does not fall on anything except that it supplicates for him, And when the sun shine upon him, it burns up his sins just as fire burns the wood. And the sun would not leave any of his sins upon him and he would return back without any sins upon him."
[Source: Kamil al-Ziyarat, Pg. 496]
Hadith 4: Love for Ziyarat of Imam Husain (ع)
حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي رَحِمَهُ اَللَّهُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ اَلْقُمِّيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى اَلْيَقْطِينِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ اَلصَّيْرَفِيِّ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ : مَنْ أَرَادَ اَللَّهُ بِهِ اَلْخَيْرَ قَذَفَ فِي قَلْبِهِ حُبَّ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ حُبَّ زِيَارَتِهِ وَ مَنْ أَرَادَ اَللَّهُ بِهِ اَلسُّوءَ قَذَفَ فِي قَلْبِهِ بُغْضَ اَلْحُسَيْنِ وَ بُغْضَ زِيَارَتِهِ
Narrated that Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) said:
"When Allah intends good for a person, He places the love of Husain (عليه السلام) and the love of his Ziyarat in his heart.
When Allah intends evil for a person, He places the hatred of Husain (عليه السلام) and the hatred of his Ziyarat in his heart."

Hadith 5: Why do you go for Ziyarat
حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ وَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةَ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ نَادَى مُنَادٍ أَيْنَ زُوَّارُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ فَيَقُومُ عُنُقٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ لَا يُحْصِيهِمْ إِلَّا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ مَا أَرَدْتُمْ بِزِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَيَقُولُونَ يَا رَبِّ أَتَيْنَاهُ حُبّاً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ حُبّاً لِعَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ رَحْمَةً لَهُ مِمَّا ارْتُكِبَ مِنْهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ فَاطِمَةُ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ فَالْحَقُوا بِهِمْ فَأَنْتُمْ مَعَهُمْ فِي دَرَجَتِهِمْ الْحَقُوا بِلِوَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَيَنْطَلِقُونَ إِلَى لِوَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَيَكُونُونَ فِي ظِلِّهِ- وَ اللِّوَاءُ فِي يَدِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) حَتَّى يدخلون [يَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ جَمِيعاً فَيَكُونُونَ أَمَامَ اللِّوَاءِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ
Narrated that Abu Abd-Allah Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) said,
"On the Day of Judgment, a caller will call out, "Where are the visitors (zuwwar) of Husain ibn Ali (عليه السلام)?"
So a large number of people, who cannot be counted by anyone other than Allah (تعالى), will stand.
Then Allah will ask them, "What made you go to the Ziyarah of the grave of Ḥusain (عليه السلام)?"
They will reply, “O Lord! We went to him because of our love for the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله) and because of our love for Ali and Fatimah (عليهما السلام) and to sympathize with him because of that which was committed against him."
They will be told, "Here are Muhammad, Ali, Fatimah, Hasan, and Husain (عليهم السلام) - Join them, for you will be with them at their level (in Paradise), follow the flag of the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله)."
Therefore, they will go to the flag of the Messenger of Allah (ص) which will be held by Ali (عليه السلام) and they will remain under its shade, in front of it, to its right, to its left, and behind it until all of them enter Paradise."

Hadith 6: Evidence of loving the AhlulBayt (عليهم السلام)
وباسناده، عن سيف بن عميرة، عن أبي بكر الحضرمي، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام)، قال: سمعته يقول من أراد ان يعلم أنه من أهل الجنة فليعرض حبنا علي قلبه، فان قبله فهو مؤمن، ومن كان لنا محبا فليرغب في زيارة قبر الحسين (عليه السلام)، فمن كان للحسين (عليه السلام) زوارا عرفناه بالحب لنا أهل البيت، وكان من أهل الجنة، ومن لم يكن للحسين زوارا كان ناقص الايمان
Narrated that Abu Jafar Imam Baqir (عليه السلام) said,
"Whoever wants to know if he is from the people of Paradise, let him present Our love to his heart, if he accepts it, he is a believer.
And whoever loves Us, he should desire/wish to visit the gave of al-Husain (عليه السلام).
So whoever is a visitor (Zuwwar) of al-Husain (عليه السلام), we recognize him as a lover of Us - the Ahl al-Bayt (عليهم السلام) and he is one of the people of Paradise.
And whoever is not a visitor of Husain (عليه السلام) is deficient (Naqis) in faith."

Hadith 7: Ziyarat of Imam Husain (as) on 15 Shaban
علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن بعض أصحابه، عن هارون بن خارجة، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال: إذا كان النصف من شعبان نادى مناد من الأفق الاعلى: ألا زائري قبر الحسين ارجعوا مغفورا لكم وثوابكم على ربكم ومحمد نبيكم
Narrated that Abu Abdullah Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) said,
"When it is the middle (15th) of Shaban, a caller from the highest horizon announces – “O visitors of the grave of Husayn (عليه السلام), return forgiven. Your reward is with your Lord and Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله), your Prophet.”
