ارزيابي روايات فضيلت زيارت امام رضا عليه السّلام

Evaluation of the Narrations Related to the Virtue of Ziyarat of Imam Reza (a.s.)

ايمّه ي معصومين عليهم السّلام بهترين الگوهايي هستند كه انسان ها مي توانند از ارتباط با آنان، در مسير رشد و تكامل خود بهره برداري كنند، اين ارتباط در قالب زيارت نا مه ها مطرح شده است. زيارت قبور ايمّه ي معصومين عليهم السّلام مي تواند به شناخت بيشتر آن بزرگواران و الگو برداري از خصلت هاي الهي آنان بينجامد و يا از طريق اشراق معنوي، بر روح جان آدمي تاثير گذار باشد . در مذهب تشيّع كه امامت هم سنگ توحيد و نبوّت قرار گرفته ، بايد به زيارت معصومان توجّه ويژه داشت . رواياتي در باب فضيلت زيارت امام رضا عليه السّلام بيان شده كه در ثواب با هم تفاوت دارند، امّا در يك نقطه اشتراك دارند و آن اين است كه آن را برتر از حج يا عمره دانسته اند و برخي ثواب چندين حج را براي زايرآن امام همام (ع) بر شمرده اند، دراين مقاله روايات فضيلت زيارت امام رضا(ع) گرد آوري واز لحاظ سندي و متني مورد بررسي قرار گرفته و به چرايي اين برتري ها پاسخ داده است.

The Infallible Imams (a.s.) are the best models with whom having connection can help human beings follow the course of growth and perfection. This connection is manifested in ziyaratnamehs (prayer books to be read in honor of the Infallibles and their descendents). Making a pilgrimage to the holy shrines of the Infallible Imams (a.s.) can lead to knowing them more deeply and following their Devine characteristics and can affect one’s body and soul through spiritual illumination. Ziyarat of the Infallibles should be considered highly important in Shiite School, in which Imam has the same rank as towhid (Unity of God) and prophethood. A number of narrations have been reported on the virtue of ziyarat of Imam Reza (a.s.). They have been said to be different in terms of their reward but they have one point in common and the point is that a pilgrimage to Imam Reza’s (a.s.) Shrine is superior to a pilgrimage to Mecca and some narrations have even delineated that a pilgrimage to Imam Reza’s (a.s.) Shrine brings the pilgrim the reward of several pilgrimages to Mecca. In this article, the narrations related to the virtue of ziyarat of Imam Reza (a.s.) have been gathered and analyzed in terms of documentation and content and finally the afore-mentioned superiority has been reasoned out.
