Answer:
Reward of visiting Imam Husain grave
In the
name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness.
Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray,
none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no
person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Sa'id bin Al-Musayyib reported from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet
(saws) said, "You should not undertake a special journey to visit any
place (of worship) other than the three Mosques: the Sacred Mosque of Makkah,

Your
Question: what is the ziyarts fazilat of imam e husaain a.s ?
Beloved
and dear Brother in Islam, the Messenger of Allah (saws) specifically declared
it forbidden for the believers who believe in Allah and the Last Day to
undertake a journey to any place of worship other than the three mosques:
Masjid
Haraam in Makkah
The
Prophet’s Mosque in
The
Masjid al-Aqsa in
Other
than the above three places of worship, it is absolutely prohibited in Islam
for the believers to undertake a journey to visit any other particular place of
worship.
Some
people have made the grave of the righteous slave of Allah and the noble
grandson of the Prophet (saws), Hadrat Imam Hussain ibn Ali (r.a.) as a
mausoleum and a place of worship! Rather
than seeking rewards in traveling to such places of worship, one should fear
the Wrath and Anger of Allah Subhanah in light of the specific warnings of the
Messenger of Allah (saws).
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “Before you there was a group
who turned the graves of their prophets and their righteous ones into mosques.
Do not turn graves into mosques. I forbid you to do that'.''
Related by Muslim.
Abu Hurairah narrated that The Prophet (saws) said: 'May Allah
curse Jews and Christians for they turned the graves of their Prophets into
places of worship'.''
Related by al-Bukhari, Muslim, Ahmad, and an-Nasai .
We have
heard some misguided people claim that visiting the grave of Hadrat Hussain ibn
Ali (r.a.) in
Allah Subhanah
is our witness, there is no better place of worship on this planet earth than
the Sacred Mosque in Makkah!
If one
trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and commands of
Allah and His Messenger (saws), he can
be assured of never ever being misled;
but if one believes, obeys and
follows any other guidance, other than
that of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
he can be assured of being led astray.
Whatever
written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance,
and whatever of error is of me. Allah
Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
