5. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Rāzi, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Abī Ḥamzah, from Abī ‘Ali Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdil Karīm, from Mufaďďal ibn ‘Umar, from Jābir Al-Ju’fi, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) asked Mufaďďal, “What is the distance between you and the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)?” He replied, “May I sacrifice my father and mother for you. A little more than a day.” Imam (a.s.) asked, “Do you go to his Ziyārah?” He replied, “Yes.” Imam (a.s.) asked, “Should I not give you glad tidings?! Should I not please you by telling you about some of its rewards?” He replied, “May I sacrifice myself for you! Yes.” Imam (a.s.) said: When a man among you starts preparing and packing for going to his Ziyārah, the inhabitants of the heavens give one another glad tidings about him. As soon as he leaves his house, riding or walking, Allāh dedicates four thousand angels to him who send blessings on him until he arrives at the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.). O Mufaďďal! When you go to the grave of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.), stand at the door (of the Ḥaram) and recite these words, for verily if you do, you will receive an increasing share of Allāh’s Mercy for every word you recite. He asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! What should I recite?” Imam (a.s.) said: Recite (the following): Salām to you, O heir of Ādam, the Chosen Slave of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Nūḥ, the Prophet of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Ibrāhīm, the Friend of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Mūsā, the One Addressed by Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of ‘Ǐsā, the Spirit of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Muḥammad, the Love of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of ‘Ali, the Successor of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Ḥasan, the one with whom Allāh is pleased. Salām to you, O heir of Fāťimah, Daughter of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O Truthful Martyr. Salām to you, O Pure and Pious Successor. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof and the son of His Decisive Proof. Salām upon the souls who dismounted at your vicinity and stayed in your caravan. Salām upon Allāh’s angels who have surrounded you. I testify that you established prayers, gave charity, enjoined good, forbade evil, and worshipped Allāh devoutly until that which is certain (death) came to you. Salām to you and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon you. Then walk toward the grave, for you shall have the reward of those who were ensanguined in their blood in the way of Allāh for every step that you take. Once you have said Salām at the grave, touch it with your hands and recite (the following): Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof in His heavens and earth. Then carry on with establishing prayers, for you shall have the reward of performing one thousand Hajj and ‘Umrah, freeing one thousand slaves, and fighting in the way of Allāh one thousand times with a prophet, who was sent as a messenger, for every Rak’ah of prayer next to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.). When you are leaving the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), a caller will call out something to you. If you could hear it, you would stay next to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) for the rest of your life. The caller calls out, “Bliss for you, O slave (of Allāh)! You have achieved victory and you shall be safe (on the Day of Judgment). Verily your past sins have been forgiven so continue with good deeds.” No one but Allāh Himself takes the soul of one who dies in the night or the day of performing the Ziyārah or even within one year (from the Ziyārah). The angels will accompany those who return from the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) while seeking forgiveness for them and sending blessings on them until they arrive at their homes. Then the angels will say to Allāh, “O Lord! This slave of Yours went to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of the son of Your Prophet (s.a.a.w.) and now he has returned to his home. So where should we go?” They will hear a call from the heavens which says, “O My angels! Stay next to the door of the house of My slave until he dies while sanctifying and glorifying Me, and register these deeds among his good deeds.” So they will remain next to his house, sanctifying and glorifying Allāh and registering it among his (the Zā`ir’s) good deeds until he dies. Then they will attend his funeral, shroud him, perform his Ghusl, and establish prayers on him. Then they will say, “O Our Lord! You dedicated us to the door of the house of Your slave and now he has died. So where should we go?” Allāh will call out to them, “O My angels! Stay next to the grave of My slave until the Day of Judgment while sanctifying and glorifying Me, and register these deeds among his good deeds.” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd ibn Ḥukaym, from Salamah ibn Khaťťāb, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Rāzi Al-Jāmūrāni, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Abī Ḥamzah, from Abī ‘Ali Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdil Karīm, from Mufaďďal ibn ‘Umar, from Jābir Al-Ju’fi, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.).

6. Ḥasan ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā narrated to me from his father, from his grandfather Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ibrāhīm ibn Abil Bilād, who said: I asked Abal Ḥasan (Imam Kāżim (a.s.)), “What do you say about the reward for the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)?” Imam (a.s.) asked, “What do you say about it?” I replied, “Some of us believe it is equal to performing a Hajj while others believe it is equal to performing an ‘Umrah.” Imam (a.s.) asked, “What do you recite when you go to his Ziyārah?” I replied: I recite (the following): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. I testify that you established prayers, gave charity, enjoined good, forbade evil, and called (the people) to the path of your Lord with wisdom and by giving good counsel. And I testify that those who spilled your blood and breached your sanctity will be tormented and they are cursed “by [the] tongue of Dāwūd and ‘Ǐsā, son of Maryam. That is because they disobeyed and used to exceed the limits” (5:78).

Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd narrated to me from Salamah ibn Khaťťāb, from ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad, from some of his companions, from Sulaymān ibn Ḥafs Al-Marwazi, who said: The man (Imam Hādi (a.s.)) said: Recite (the following) next to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof in His land and His witness over His creation. Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O son of ‘Ali, the one with whom Allāh is pleased. Salām to you, O son of Fāťimah Al-Zahrā. I testify that you established prayers, gave charity, enjoined good, forbade evil, and fought in the way of Allāh until that which is certain (death) came to you. May Allāh’s blessing be upon you in your life and after your death. Then place your right cheek on the grave and recite (the following): I testify that you had insight with your Lord. I have come to you admitting to my sins. Therefore, intercede for me with your Lord, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Then mention the Imams (a.s.) one after another (by their names) and say, “I testify that they are Allāh’s Decisive Proofs.” Then recite (the following): Be my witness with your Lord and register a contract for me (which states) that I came to you to renew the covenant. Verily you are the witness. Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd ibn Ḥukaym narrated to me from Salamah ibn Khaťťāb, from Ḥusain ibn Zakariyyā, from Sulaymān ibn Ḥafs Al-Marwazi, who said: The Blessed (Imam Hādi (a.s.)) said: Recite (the following) next to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh.

Salām to him (the Prophet) and to his family and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon them. Then recite the following statement three times: May Allah’s blessing be upon you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you, those who participated in the spilling of your blood, and those who heard about your killing and were pleased with it. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from them.

May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you, those who participated in the spilling of your blood, and those who heard about your killing and were pleased with it. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from them.

11. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, and from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari, from Aḥmad ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl, from ‘Amr ibn Sa’īd Al-Madā`ini, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from ‘Ammār ibn Mūsā Al-Sābāťi, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Recite (the following) when you go to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.): Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O son of the Commander of the Believers. Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. Salām to you, O Master of the Youth of Paradise and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon you. Salām to you, O one whose pleasure is derived from the pleasure of Al-Raḥmān (the most Gracious) and whose displeasure is derived from the displeasure of Al-Raḥmān. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Trustee, His Decisive Proof, the door (which opens) to Allāh, the guide to Allāh, and the caller to Allāh. I testify that you deemed lawful that which Allāh has declared lawful and you deemed unlawful that which Allāh has declared unlawful. You established prayers, gave charity, enjoined good, forbade evil, and called (the people) to the path of your Lord with wisdom and by giving good counsel. And I testify that you and those who were killed with you are Martyrs who “are alive with [your] Lord getting sustenance from Him” (3:169). And I testify that your killers are in Hell. I follow the religion of Allāh by dissociating myself from those who fought you, those who killed you, those who accompanied them, those who gathered (an army) against you, and from those who heard your voice (calling for help) but did not answer your call. I wish I had been with you so that I would have achieved the great victory.

لَكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَلْقِهِ ثُمَّ ضَعْ خَدَّيْكَ وَ يَدَيْكَ جَمِيعاً عَلَى الْقَبْرِ ثُمَّ اجْلِسْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ وَ اذْكُرِ اللَّهَ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ وَ تَوَجَّهْ إِلَيْهِ وَ اسْأَلْ حَوَائِجَكَ ثُمَّ ضَعْ يَدَيْكَ وَ خَدَّيْكَ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَ قُلْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى رُوحِكَ وَ بَدَنِكَ- فَلَقَدْ صَدَقْتَ وَ صَبَرْتَ وَ أَنْتَ الصَّادِقُ الْمُصَدَّقُ قَتَلَ اللَّهُ مَنْ قَتَلَكَ بِالْأَيْدِي وَ الْأَلْسُنِ ثُمَّ تَقُومُ إِلَى قَبْرِ وَلَدِهِ وَ تُثْنِي عَلَيْهِمْ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ وَ تَسْأَلُ رَبَّكَ حَوَائِجَكَ وَ مَا بَدَا لَكَ ثُمَّ تَسْتَقْبِلُ قُبُورَ الشُّهَدَاءِ قَائِماً فَتَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا الرَّبَّانِيُّونَ أَنْتُمْ لَنَا فَرَطٌ وَ نَحْنُ لَكُمْ تَبَعٌ وَ أَنْصَارٌ أَبْشِرُوا بِمَوْعِدِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا خُلْفَ لَهُ- وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ مُدْرِكٌ بِكُمْ ثَارَكُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ سَادَةُ الشُّهَدَاءِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ- ثُمَّ اجْعَلِ الْقَبْرَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ صَلِّ مَا بَدَا لَكَ وَ كُلَّمَا دَخَلْتَ الْحَائِرَ [الْحَيْرَ] فَسَلِّمْ ثُمَّ امْشِ حَتَّى تَضَعَ يَدَيْكَ وَ خَدَّيْكَ جَمِيعاً عَلَى الْقَبْرِ فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ فَاصْنَعْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَ لَا تُقَصِّرْ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ مَا أَقَمْتَ وَ إِذَا انْصَرَفْتَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَوَدِّعْهُ وَ قُلْ سَلَامُ اللَّهِ وَ سَلَامُ مَلَائِكَتِهِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ أَنْبِيَائِهِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ عِبَادِهِ الصَّالِحِينَ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى رُوحِكَ وَ بَدَنِكَ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ وَ مَنْ حَضَرَكَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ حَدَّثَنِي بِهَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْقَيْسِيُّ الشَّامِيُّ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ

الْحَائِرَ [الْحَيْرَ] فَإِذَا دَخَلْتَ مَنْزِلَكَ فَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي سَلَّمَنِي وَ سَلَّمَ مِنِّي الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فِي الْأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا وَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ- الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ ثُمَّ كَبِّرْ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ تَكْبِيرَةً مُتَتَابِعَةً وَ سَهِّلْ وَ لَا تُعَجِّلْ فِيهَا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَ الْبَاقِي مِثْلُهُ

12. ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain narrated to me from ‘Ali ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Hāshim, from his father, from Ibn Abī Najrān, from Yazīd ibn Isḥāq, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Aťiyyah, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: You can recite that which you wish next to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.).

13 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ أَبِي نَابٍ بَيَّاعِ السَّابِرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَتَى قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ حِجَّةً وَ عُمْرَةً وَ [أَوْ] عُمْرَةً وَ حِجَّةً قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَمَا أَقُولُ إِذَا أَتَيْتُهُ- قَالَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَوْمَ وُلِدْتَ وَ يَوْمَ تَمُوتُ وَ يَوْمَ تُبْعَثُ حَيّاً أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ حَيٌّ شَهِيدٌ تُرْزَقُ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ وَ أَتَوَالَى وَلِيَّكَ وَ أَبْرَأُ مِنْ عَدُوِّكَ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكَ وَ انْتَهَكُوا حُرْمَتَكَ مَلْعُونُونَ عَلَى لِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ أَقَمْتَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ آتَيْتَ الزَّكَاةَ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ جَاهَدْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ وَلِيَّكَ وَ وَلِيَّنَا أَنْ يَجْعَلَ تُحْفَتَنَا مِنْ زِيَارَتِكَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا وَ الْمَغْفِرَةَ لِذُنُوبِنَا اشْفَعْ لِي يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ

13. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl, from Sāliḥ ibn ‘Uqbah, from Abī Sa’īd Al-Madā`ini, who said: I went to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) and asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! Should I go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)?” Imam (a.s.) replied: Yes, O Abā Sa’īd! Go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), the most blessed of the blessed ones, the most purified of the purified ones, and the most pious of the pious ones. O Abā Sa’īd! When you go to his Ziyārah, recite the TASBǏḤ of the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) next to his (Ḥusain’s) head one thousand times and recite the Tasbīḥ of Fāťimah Al-Zahrā (s.a.) next to his feet one thousand times. Then establish two Rak’ah of prayers there. Recite Yāsīn in the first Rak’ah and Al-Raḥmān in the second Rak’ah. Verily if you do this, Allāh will register its (special) rewards for you In-Shā`allāh. I said, “May I sacrifice myself for you! Teach me the Tasbīḥ of ‘Ali and Fāťimah (a.s.).” Imam (a.s.) replied: Yes, O Abā Sa’īd! The Tasbīḥ of ‘Ali (a.s.) is as follows: Sanctified is He whose Treasury is inexhaustible. Sanctified is He whose signs do not perish. Sanctified is He whom that which is with Him will not vanish. Sanctified is He who does not share His ruling with anyone. Sanctified is He whose Glory does not fade away. Sanctified is He whose time does not end. Sanctified is He besides whom there is no god. And the Tasbīḥ of Fāťimah (s.a.) is as follows: Sanctified is the Owner of Majesty, the Exalted, the Great. Sanctified is the Owner of Glory, the High, the Exalted. Sanctified is the Owner of the Kingdom, the Superior, the Everlasting. Sanctified is the Owner of Grace and Beauty. Sanctified is He who is covered with Light and Dignity. Sanctified is He who sees the markings of an ant on flat stones and the perching of the birds (which fly) in the sky.

14 حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْمَكْفُوفِ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَتَى الْحُسَيْنَ (ع) مَاشِياً كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ وَ مَحَا عَنْهُ أَلْفَ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ رَفَعَ لَهُ أَلْفَ دَرَجَةٍ فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَ الْفُرَاتَ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ عَلِّقْ نَعْلَيْكَ وَ امْشِ حَافِياً وَ امْشِ بِمَشْيِ [مَشْيَ] الْعَبْدِ الذَّلِيلِ فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَ بَابَ الْحَائِرِ [الْحَيْرِ] فَكَبِّرِ اللَّهَ أَرْبَعاً وَ صَلِّ عِنْدَهُ وَ اسْأَلْ [سَلِ اللَّهَ] حَاجَتَكَ

14. My father and others narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from ‘Abbās ibn Mūsā Al-Warrāq, from Yūnus (ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān), from ‘Āmir ibn Judhā’ah, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: When you go to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), recite (the following): Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you. And may Allāh’s curse be upon those who heard about your killing and were pleased with it. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from them. Ḥusain ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Āmir narrated to me from Aḥmad ibn Isḥāq ibn Sa’d, from Sa’dān ibn Muslim – Abī Basīr’s guide, from some of our companions, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: When you go to the Grave (of Ḥusain (a.s.)), start by praising Allāh, the Great and Almighty, and sending blessing on the Prophet (s.a.a.w.), and strive in doing so. Thereafter, recite (the following): Salām of Allāh be upon you and Salām of His angels be upon you along with the Purified and the Blessed greetings which reach you at all times. Salām of Allāh and Salām of His High-Ranked angels be upon you as well as the Salām of those whose hearts are submissive to you, those who speak of your merits, and those who testify that you are honest and truthful, that you were truthful about that which you invited (the people) to, that you are the one whom Allāh will avenge on earth, and (who testify) that your blood cannot be avenged by anyone from among the inhabitants of the earth and that no one but Allāh shall avenge it. I have come to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh as your guest, beseeching Allāh through you for all of my requests in this life and in the Hereafter. Verily those who beseech Allāh, beseech Him for their requests through you, and those who seek revenge from among Allāh’s slaves will be avenged (by Allāh) through you. Then take a few steps, face the grave with your back toward Qiblah, and recite (the following): Praise be to Allāh, the One, the Only One who runs all of the affairs, the Creator of the creation, who is aware of all of the affairs of His creation, and the One who has the knowledge of everything without learning. O son of the Messenger of Allāh! The earth and everyone on it is responsible for your blood and for avenging you. I testify that Allāh will fulfill His promise of support and victory to you and (I testify) that Allāh will fulfill His true promise to you and complete it by destroying your enemies. : I testify that innumerable godly men fought beside you as Allāh, the Exalted, says, “And many a prophet has fought with innumerable godly men beside him, while they did not lose heart for anything that befell them” (3:146). Then say "Allāhu Akbar" seven times, take a few steps, face the grave, and recite (the following): Praise be to Allāh who has not taken (unto Himself) a wife or a son, neither has He any partner in the kingdom, the One who created everything and determined for it a fixed measure. I testify that you announced (to people) that which Allāh ordered you to (announce) on His behalf, that you fulfilled the covenant of Allāh, and that Allāh’s words are complete with you. (I testify that) you fought in the way of Allāh until that which is certain (death) came to you. May Allāh’s curse be upon the nation who killed you and upon the nation who abandoned you. And may Allāh’s curse be upon the nation who made others abandon you. O Allāh! I testify that I love those whom You and Your messengers love. And I testify that I dissociate myself from those from whom You and Your messengers dissociate yourselves. O Allāh! Curse those who belied Your Messenger, destroyed Your Ka’bah, modified (the meaning of) Your Book, spilled the blood of the family of Your Prophet, and ruined Your slaves and disgraced them. O Allāh! Multiply Your curses on them based on Your traditions in Your lands and Your seas. O Allāh! Curse them in Your heavens and in Your earth. O Allāh! Appoint for me a truthful tongue among Your Divine Authorities and make me love their sites until You unite me with them. (O Allāh!) Make them my leaders and appoint me among their followers in this life and in the Hereafter. Then take a few steps, recite Takbīr seven times, recite Tahlīl seven times, praise Allāh seven times, and sanctify Allāh, the Exalted, seven times. Then answer the call of Ḥusain (a.s.) seven times by saying: I am at your service, O caller to Allāh! Then recite (the following): Even though my body could not answer your call (for help), my heart, my hair, my skin, my volition, and my desire have answered your call and have submitted to the remainder of the Prophet who was sent as a messenger, the chosen grandson, the knowledgeable guide, the entrusted guardian, the successor who announced the message (of Allāh), and the wronged and oppressed one. I have come solely to you, to your son, and to the son of your son, the one who, with the blessing of Ḥaqq, remains after you. My heart has submitted to you. I follow you in my affairs and my support is ready for you until Allāh judges for my religion, and He is the best of judges. And until Allāh resurrects you, I shall be with you and only with you, and not with your enemies. Verily I believe in your return (at the end of time). I do not deny the power of Allāh, I do not belie His Will, and I do not believe that something that Allāh has willed might not take place. Then walk to the grave, stand next to it, and recite (the following): Glory be to Allāh. All of Allāh’s creation glorify Him and sanctify the names of Allāh, the Owner of the Kingdom and the Sovereignty. Glory be to Allāh, the King, the most Holy, our Lord and the Lord of the Angels and the Spirit. O Allāh! Register me among Your guests who have come to the best of Your places and to the best of Your creation. O Allāh! Curse the Jibt and the Ťāghūt. Then raise your hands and spread your arms on the grave and recite (the following): I testify that you are purity and you are pure, and you are (the son) of purity and the pure one. Verily the lands have been purified through you and the land in which you are (buried) is purified (through you). You are Allāh’s unavenged one on earth until He takes your revenge from all of His creation. Then place both your cheeks and hands on the grave. Thereafter, sit next to his head and extol Allāh however you wish. Beseech Him and ask for your needs. Then (go next to his feet and) place your hands and your cheeks next to his feet and recite (the following): May Allāh’s blessing be upon you, upon your soul and your body. Verily you said the truth and you stayed patient. You are the truthful one whose truthfulness is authenticated (by Allāh). May Allāh kill those who killed you with their hands and their tongues. Then go to the grave of his sons and praise them however you wish. Then ask your Lord for your needs and for that which you want. Then face the graves of the martyrs and recite (the following) while standing: Salām to you, O godly men. You have preceded us and you are our leaders while we are the followers and the supporters. Rejoice in the promise of Allāh which will not fail. Verily Allāh shall avenge you (as He promised you). You are the Masters of the Martyrs in this life and in the Hereafter. Then stand behind the grave and establish prayers as much as you want. Imam (a.s.) added: Every time you go to the Ḥā`ir, say Salām and then walk to the grave and place both your hands and your cheeks on the grave. Do the same when you want to leave. Establish the prayers in full form next to his grave as long as you stay (in Karbalā). When you want to leave (the Ḥā`ir), bid farewell to him by saying: Salām of Allāh and Salām of His High-Ranked Angels and His prophets who were sent as messengers and His Righteous Slaves be upon you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh, upon your soul and your body, upon your offspring, and upon those of your friends who come to you. The above Ziyārah has also been narrated to me through the following chain: Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn Sahl, from his father, from his grandfather, from Mūsā ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Āmir, from Aḥmad ibn Hilāl, from Umayyah ibn ‘Ali Al-Qaysi Al-Shāmi, from Sa’dān ibn Muslim, from someone, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.) – with the following addition at the end: And when you want to return (to your home), repeat this entire Ziyārah just like when you first entered the Ḥā`ir. Once you arrive at your home, recite (the following): Praise be to Allāh who kept me safe and kept others safe from me. Praise be to Allāh in all of the affairs and in every state. Praise be to Allāh, the Lord of the Worlds. Then say “Allāhu Akbar” twenty-one consecutive times. Recite them carefully and without haste In-Shā`allāh.
