٩ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى الْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ (ع) إِنْ رَأَى سَيِّدُنَا أَنْ يُخْبِرَنِي بِأَفْضَلِ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ فِي زِيَارَةِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) وَ هَلْ تَعْدِلُ ثَوَابَ الْحَجِّ لِمَنْ فَاتَهُ فَكَتَبَ (ع) تَعْدِلُ الْحَجَّ لِمَنْ فَاتَهُ الْحَجُّ
9. Muĥammad ibn Ja’far narrated to me from Muĥammad ibn Ĥusain, from Muĥammad ibn Sinān, from Ibrāhǐm ibn ‘Uqbah, who said: I wrote a letter to the Righteous Slave (Imam Kāżim ) saying, “If our Master deems it appropriate to inform me, (I would like to know) about the best rewards for (going to) the Ziyārah of Ĥusain  and also if this reward is equal to the reward of performing Hajj for those who have missed (the opportunity to go to) Hajj.” Imam  wrote back, “It is equal to Hajj for those who have missed (the opportunity to go to) Hajj.”
