Merits
Sayyed Ibn Taaoos, in Iqbal al-Aa’maal, has mentioned a number of supplicatory prayers and a big number of prayers that are advisably said and offered at this tenth night of Moharram. He has also cited the big rewards of saying and offering these supplications and prayers.
Concerning the four unit prayer with fifty recitations of Surah al-Tawheed: Matching the prayer of Imam Ali Ameer al-Momineen (a.s.), which brings about a tremendous reward, Sayyed Ibn Taaoos says after citing this prayer, “When you finish the fourth units, you may mention Almighty Allah, invoke blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household, and curse their enemies as many times as possible.”
As regarding the reward of spending this whole night with acts of worship, it has been narrated that one who does so shall be considered having worshipped Almighty Allah with the worship of all the angels. Furthermore, to practice acts of worship at this night is equal to seventy-year worship. Moreover, as for one who succeeds to visit the tomb of Imam al-Husayn (a.s.) at this night and spends the whole night there up to morning, Almighty Allah shall resurrect him, on the Judgment Day, spotted with the blood of Imam al-Husayn (a.s.) in the group of those who were martyred with him.
