THE BOOK OF SHRINES
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ الحمد لله الذي هدانا لزيارة أحبائه و أصفيائه فجعلها ذريعة للوصول إلى أعلى منازل الفوز و الفلاح و الصلاة على من بالصلاة و السلام عليه فاز من سعد بالارتقاء على أقصى مدارج الكرامة و النجاح محمد و أهل بيته الأطهرين الذين بتقبيل أعتابهم صعد المؤمنون أسنى معارج الشرف و الصلاح و لعنة الله على أعدائهم ما أظلم ليل و استنار صباح.
In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! All praise is due to Allah-azwj Who has Guided us to visit His-azwj Beloved and Chosen ones, making it a means to attain the highest levels of success and prosperity. And may the Salawaat be upon the one through whom prayers and peace bring triumph to those fortunate enough to ascend to the loftiest ranks of honour and success, Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household, the pure ones, those through whose doorstep the believers ascend to the most exalted heights of dignity and righteousness. And may the Curse of Allah-azwj be upon their-asws enemies for as long as the night remains dark and the morning shines bright.
أما بعد فهذا هو المجلد الثاني و العشرون من كتاب بحار الأنوار الكاشف للأستار عن وجوه زيارات النبي و الأئمة الأبرار عليهم صلوات عالم الخفايا و الأسرار و فضلها و آدابها و مقدماتها و ما يتعلق بها على وجه كامل يبتهج به شيعتهم الأخيار مما ألفه خادم أخبار الأئمة الأبرار و تراب أقدام المؤمنين الأخيار محمد باقر بن محمد تقي حشرهما الله مع مواليهما الأطهار.
As for what follows, this is the twenty-second volume of the book Bihar Al Anwaar, which unveils the hidden aspects of the visitations of the Prophet-saww and the righteous Imams-asws upon them be the Salwaat of the Knower of all hidden matters and secrets covering their virtues, and etiquettes, and preliminaries, and all related aspects in a complete manner that brings joy to their righteous followers. It was compiled by the servant of the traditions of the noble Imams-asws and the dust beneath the feet of the virtuous believers, Muhammad Baqir-asws Ibn Muhammad Taqi-asws, may Allah gather them with their pure masters.
باب 1 مقدمات السفر و آدابه
CHAPTER 1 – THE PRELIMINARIES OF THE JOURNEY AND ITS ETIQUETTES
أقول: قد قدمنا في كتاب الآداب جل الأخبار المتعلقة بهذا الباب و بعضها في كتاب الحج لكن نذكر هاهنا ما أورده السيد النقيب الفاضل علي بن طاوس قدس الله روحه في مفتتح كتاب مصباح الزائر لأنه جمع مضامين أكثر الأخبار الواردة في ذلك
I say, ‘We have previously presented most of the narrations related to this chapter in the Book of Etiquettes, and some of them in the Book of Hajj. However, we will mention here what the noble and virtuous Sayyid Al Naqib Ali ibn Tawus, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul, has included at the beginning of his book Misbah Al Zaa’ir, as it encompasses the meanings of most of the narrations on this subject.
و نضيف إليه ما وجدته في المزار الكبير تأليف محمد بن المشهدي أو السيد فخار أو بعض معاصريهما من الأفاضل الكبار لئلا يخلو هذا المجلد عما يحتاج إليه زائر الأئمة الأطهار.
We will supplement it with what I have found in Al Mazar Al Kabir, authored by Muhammad Ibn Al Mashhadi, or by Sayyid Fakhar, or by some of their esteemed contemporaries, so that this volume does not lack what a visitor to the pure Imams-asws may need.
قال السيد رحمه الله إذا أردت الخروج إلى السفر فينبغي أن تصوم الأربعاء و الخميس و الجمعة و تختار من أيام الأسبوع يوم السبت.
The Seyyid, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said, ‘When you intend to go out to the journey )for Ziyaarat), it is befitting that you fast the Wednesday, and the Thursday, and the Friday, and chose from the days of the week, the day of Saturday.
بسم اللّه الرحمن الرحيم و به نستعين المزار الكبير لمحمّد بن المشهديّ( مخطوط) و قد راجعنا في تصحيح المنقول عنه في هذا الكتاب على نسختين
Note – In the name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful, and in Him-azwj we seek assistance. (The book) Al Mazar Al Kabir by Muhammad Ibn Al Mashhadi (manuscript). In verifying the citations from this book, we have referred to two copies: –
( احداهما) مخطوطة بتاريخ سنة 956 ه في مكتبة الامام أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام العامّة في النجف الأشرف.
The first is a manuscript dated 956 AH, located in the public library of Imam Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the greeting be upon him-asws, in Najaf Al-Ashraf.
( و ثانيتهما) مخطوطة بتاريخ سنة 1355 ه في مكتبة السيّد الحكيم العامّة في النجف الأشرف برقم 652 و قد اعتمدناها في المراجعة و التخريج.
The second is a manuscript dated 1355 AH, housed in the public library of Sayyid Al-Hakim in Najaf Al-Ashraf under catalogue number 652, which we relied upon for review and extraction (referencing).
1- فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ أَرَادَ سَفَراً فَلْيُسَافِرْ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ فَلَوْ أَنَّ حَجَراً زَالَ عَنْ جَبَلٍ فِي يَوْمِ سَبْتٍ لَرَدَّهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ- أَوْ يَوْمَ الثَّلَاثَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أَلَانَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ الْحَدِيدَ لِدَاوُدَ ع أَوْ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص كَانَ يُسَافِرُ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ.
It has been reported from Al-Sadiq-asws, he-asws said: ‘One who intends a journey, let him travel on the day of Saturday, for even if a rock were to move away from a mountain during a day of Saturday, Allah-azwj will Return it to its place; or the day of Tuesday, for it is the day in which Allah-azwj Softened the iron for Dawood-as; or the day of Thursday, for the Prophet-saww used to travel on the day of Thursday’’.[1]
2- وَ قَالَ يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ يَوْمٌ يُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ مَلَائِكَتُهُ-
And he-asws said: ‘The day of Thursday is a day loved by Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and His-azwj Angels.
وَ اجْتَنِبِ السَّفَرَ فِي يَوْمِ الْإِثْنَيْنِ وَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ يُكْرَهُ أَنْ تُسَافِرَ الْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ وَ الرَّابِعَ وَ الْخَامِسَ مِنْهُ وَ السَّادِسَ مِنْهُ وَ الثَّالِثَ عَشَرَ مِنْهُ وَ السَّادِسَ عَشَرَ مِنْهُ وَ الْحَادِيَ وَ الْعِشْرِينَ وَ الرَّابِعَ وَ الْعِشْرِينَ وَ الْخَامِسَ وَ الْعِشْرِينَ وَ السَّادِسَ وَ الْعِشْرِينَ.
And keep away from travelling on the day of Monday and Wednesday, and before Al Zohr on the day of Friday. It is disliked to travel on the third day of the month, and the fourth, and the fifth of it, and the sixth of it, and the thirteenth of it, and the sixteenth of it, and the twenty-fourth of it, and the twenty-fifth of it, and the twenty-sixth’’.[2]
3- وَ رُوِيَ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ أُخْرَى أَنَّ الْيَوْمَ الرَّابِعَ وَ السَّادِسَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ وَ الْيَوْمَ الْحَادِيَ وَ الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْهُ صَالِحَةٌ لِلْأَسْفَارِ وَ لِغَيْرِهَا وَ فِي هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ أَنَّ الثَّامِنَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ وَ الثَّالِثَ وَ الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْهُ مَكْرُوهَانِ فِي السَّفَرِ وَ لَا تُسَافِرْ وَ الْقَمَرُ فِي بُرْجِ الْعَقْرَبِ.
And it is reported from another path: ‘The fourth day and the sixth day of the month, and the eleventh and the twentieth from it are correct for the journeys and for other (such); and in this report: ‘The eight of the month, and the twenty-third from it are disliked regarding the travel, and do not travel while the moon is in the constellation of the Scorpio’’.[3]
4- فَقَدْ جَاءَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ كَرِهَ السَّفَرَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ.
It has come from Al-Sadiq-asws, he-asws disliked the travelling during that time’.[4]
و إن دعت ضرورة إلى الخروج في هذه الأحوال و الأوقات المكروهة فليعمل المسافر ما سيأتي وصفه في هذا الفصل عند ذكر وداع منزله إن شاء الله تعالى و يفتتح سفره بالصدقة و دعائها على ما سيجيء ذكره أيضا و يخرج متى شاء.
If necessity compels one to travel during these disliked times and circumstances, the traveller should follow the practices that will be described in this chapter when bidding farewell to their home, if Allah-azwj so Desires. They should also begin their journey after giving charity and its associated supplication, as will be mentioned later, and then depart whenever they wish.
5- فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: افْتَتِحْ سَفَرَكَ بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَ اخْرُجْ إِذَا بَدَا لَكَ فَإِنَّكَ تَشْتَرِي سَلَامَةَ سَفَرِكَ.
It has been reported from Al-Sadiq-asws, he-asws said: ‘Begin your journey with the charity and go out whenever it comes to you for you will have bought the safety of your journey’’.[5]
6- وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع إِذَا أَرَادَ الْخُرُوجَ إِلَى بَعْضِ أَمْوَالِهِ اشْتَرَى السَّلَامَةَ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِمَا تَيَسَّرَ لَهُ.
And it is reported from Al-Baqir-asws, he-asws said: ‘Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, whenever he-asws wanted to go out to one of his-asws properties, would buy the safety from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic with whatever was easy for him-asws’’.[6]
وَ ذَكَرَ صَاحِبُ كِتَابِ عَوَارِفِ الْمَعَارِفِ حَدِيثاً أَسْنَدَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص كَانَ إِذَا سَافَرَ حَمَلَ مَعَهُ خَمْسَةَ أَشْيَاءَ الْمِرْآةَ وَ الْمُكْحُلَةَ وَ الْمِدْرَى وَ السِّوَاكَ وَ الْمُشْطَ.
And the author of the book ‘Awarif Al Ma’arif’ mentioned a Hadeeth he attributed,
‘Whenever the Prophet-saww travelled, he-saww would carry with him-asws five things – the mirror, and the kohl, and the needle, and the toothbrush, and the comb’’.[7]
7- وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى وَ الْمِقْرَاضَ.
And in another report: ‘And the scissors’’.[8]
وَ فِي الْمَزَارِ الْكَبِيرِ، إِذَا عَزَمْتَ عَلَى الْخُرُوجِ فَاخْتَرْ يَوْماً لَهُ وَ لْيَكُنْ أَحَدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ السَّبْتِ وَ الثَّلَاثَاءِ أَوِ الْخَمِيسِ.
And in ‘Al-Mazar Al-Kabeer’ – ‘When you have determined upon the going out, choose a day for it, and let it be one of the three days – the Saturday, and the Tuesday, or the Thursday’’.[9]
8- فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ أَرَادَ سَفَراً فَلْيُسَافِرْ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ فَلَوْ أَنَّ حَجَراً زَالَ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ لَرَدَّهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ.
It has been reported from Al-Sadiq-asws, he-asws said: ‘One who intends a journey, let him travel on the day of Saturday, for even if a rock were to move from its place on the day of Saturday, Allah-azwj will Return it to its place’’.[10]
9- وَ أَمَّا يَوْمُ الثَّلَاثَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سَافِرُوا فِي يَوْمِ الثَّلَاثَاءِ وَ اطْلُبُوا الْحَوَائِجَ فِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أَلَانَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِ الْحَدِيدَ لِدَاوُدَ ع.
And as for the day of Tuesday, it has been reported from him-asws having said: ‘Travel during the day of Tuesday and seek the needs during it, for it is the day in which Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Softened the iron for Dawood-as!’’[11]
10- وَ أَمَّا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ فَإِنَّهُ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَغْزُو بِأَصْحَابِهِ فِي يَوْمِ الْخَمِيسِ فَيَظْفَرُ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ سَفَراً فَلْيُسَافِرْ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ.
And as for the day of Thursday, it has been reported from him-asws, he-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww used to go on military expeditions with his-saww companions on the day of Thursday, so the one who intends a journey, let him travel on the day of Thursday’’.[12]
و اتق الخروج في يوم الإثنين فإنه اليوم الذي قبض فيه رسول الله ص و انقطع الوحي و ابتز أهل بيته الأمر و قتل الحسين ع و هو يوم نحس و اتق الخروج يوم الأربعاء فإنه اليوم الذي خلقت فيه أركان النار و أهلك فيه الأمم الطاغية-
And beware of going out on Monday, for it is the day in which Rasool-Allah-saww had passed away, and the Revelation ceased, and his-saww Household was deprived of their-asws right, and Imam Hussein-asws was killed. It is an inauspicious day. Also, beware of going out on Wednesday, for it is the day the foundations of Hell were created, and the tyrannical nations were destroyed.
11 و اتق الخروج يوم الجمعة قبل الصلاة فإنه- رُوِيَ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَا يُؤْمِنُ مَنْ سَافَرَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ أَنْ لَا يَحْفَظَهُ اللَّهُ فِي سَفَرِهِ وَ لَا يَخْلُفَهُ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَ لَا يَرْزُقَهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ.
And beware of going out on Friday before the Salat, for it is has been reported from Al-Reza-asws, he-asws said: ‘He has not believed, the one who travels on the day of Friday before the Salat. Allah-azwj will neither Protect him in his journey, nor Replace him in his family, nor Sustain him from His-azwj Grace’’.[13]
و اتق الخروج يوم الثالث من الشهر فإنه يوم نحس و هو اليوم الذي سلب فيه آدم و حواء لباسهما و اتق يوم الرابع منه فإنه يخاف على المسافر فيه نزول البلاء و اتق يوم الحادي و العشرين منه فإنه يوم نحس أيضا و هو اليوم الذي ضرب الله تعالى فيه أهل مصر مع فرعون بالآيات فإن اضطررت إلى الخروج في واحد مما عددناه فاستخر الله تعالى كثيرا و اسأله العافية و السلامة و تصدق بشيء و اخرج على اسم الله تعالى.
And beware of going out on the third day of the month, for it is an inauspicious day, the day when Adam-as and Hawwa-as were stripped of their-as garments. Also, beware of the fourth day, as it is feared that calamity may befall travellers on this day. Beware of the twenty-first day as well, for it is also an inauspicious day, the day when Allah-azwj Struck the people of Egypt along with Pharaoh-la with Signs. If you are compelled to go out on any of the days we have mentioned, then seek guidance from Allah-azwj abundantly, ask Him-azwj for well-being and safety, and give charity, and go out in the name of Allah-azwj the Exalted.
ثم قال السيد رحمه الله ذكر ما يعتمده الإنسان من حين خروجه و ما يتبع ذلك يستحب أن يغتسل قبل التوجه
Then the Seyyid, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, mentioned what the person should rely upon where he goes out from, and what recommendations follow that, that he should wash before the heading.
وَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْغُسْلِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ الصَّادِقِينَ عَنِ اللَّهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
And he should say during the washing, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, and by Allah-azwj, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj, and upon the nation of Rasool-Allah-saww, and the truthful ones from Allah-azwj, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws all!
اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ اشْرَحْ بِهِ صَدْرِي وَ نَوِّرْ بِهِ قَلْبِي
O Allah-azwj! Clean my heart by it, and expand my chest by it, and irradiate my heart!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ لِي نُوراً وَ طَهُوراً وَ حِرْزاً وَ شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ وَ آفَةٍ وَ عَاهَةٍ وَ سُوءٍ وَ مِمَّا أَخَافُ وَ أَحْذَرُ وَ طَهِّرْ قَلْبِي وَ جَوَارِحِي وَ عِظَامِي وَ دَمِي وَ شَعْرِي وَ مُخِّي وَ عَصَبِي وَ مَا أَقَلَّتِ الْأَرْضُ مِنِّي
O Allah-azwj! Make it a Noor for me and a cleansing, and a healing from every disease, and disaster, and disability, and evil, and from what I fear, and hazard, and clan my heart, and limbs, and my bones, and my blood, and my hair, and my brain, and my nerves, and whatever the earth carries!
للَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ لِي شَاهِداً يَوْمَ حَاجَتِي وَ فَقْرِي وَ فَاقَتِي إِلَيْكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
O Allah-azwj! Make it a witness for me on the day of my need and my poverty and my destitution, O Lord-azwj of the words, You-azwj are Able upon all things!’
ثُمَّ تَجْمَعُ أَهْلَكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْخِيَرَةَ وَ تَقْرَأُ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ تَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ وَ تُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ تُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ الْيَوْمَ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنِّي بِسَبِيلِ الشَّاهِدِ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْغَائِبِ
Then gather your family members in front of you and pray two units Salat and ask Allah-azwj for the goodness and read Ayat Al Kursi, and praise Allah-azwj and laud upon Him-azwj, and send Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww and say, ‘O Allah-saww! Today I entrust to You-azwj myself, and my family, and my wealth, and my children, and the one who had a way from me, the present from them and the absentee!
اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنَا بِحِفْظِ الْإِيمَانِ وَ احْفَظْ عَلَيْنَا اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا فِي رَحْمَتِكَ وَ لَا تَسْلُبْنَا فَضْلَكَ إِنَّا إِلَيْكَ رَاغِبُونَ
O Allah-azwj! Protect upon us with protecting the Mean and Protect upon us! O Allah-azwj! Make us to be in Your-azwj Mercy and do not Strip us of Your-azwj Grace, we are desirous to You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَ كَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَ سُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَ الْمَالِ وَ الْوَلَدِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ هَذَا التَّوَجُّهَ طَلَباً لِمَرْضَاتِكَ وَ تَقَرُّباً إِلَيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ فَبَلِّغْنِي مَا أُؤَمِّلُهُ وَ أَرْجُوهُ فِيكَ وَ فِي أَوْلِيَائِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! We seek Refuge with You-azwj from the hardships of the journey, and the sorrow of return, and the evil scenarios in the family and the wealth and the children in the world and the Hereafter! O Allah-azwj! I am diverting to You-azwj in this heading seeking Your-azwj Pleasure and drawing closer to You-azwj! O Allah-azwj! Make me reach what I am wishing and hoping for in You-azwj and in Your-azwj Guardians, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ قُلْتَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ فِي وَجْهِي هَذَا بِلَا ثِقَةٍ مِنِّي لِغَيْرِكَ وَ لَا رَجَاءٍ يَأْوِي بِي إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ وَ لَا قُوَّةٍ أَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهَا وَ لَا حِيلَةٍ أَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهَا إِلَّا طَلَبَ رِضَاكَ وَ ابْتِغَاءَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ تَعَرُّضاً لِثَوَابِكَ وَ سُكُوناً إِلَى حُسْنِ عَائِدَتِكَ وَ أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا سَبَقَ لِي فِي عِلْمِكَ فِي وَجْهِي مِمَّا أُحِبُّ وَ أَكْرَهُ
And if you so desire, you can say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I have gone out in this heading of mine without any trust from me to others, nor hoping for any shelter with me except to You-azwj, nor strength I can rely upon nor any means I can hope to except Your-azwj Satisfaction, and seeking Your-azwj Mercy, and exposing to Your-azwj Rewards, and tranquil to Your-azwj excellent return, and You-azwj are more Knowing with what has preceded for me in Your-azwj Knowledge in my heading, from what I like and dislike!
اللَّهُمَّ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي مَقَادِيرَ كُلِّ بَلَاءٍ وَ مَقْضِيَّ كُلِّ لَأْوَاءٍ وَ ابْسُطْ عَلَيَّ كَنَفاً مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ لُطْفاً مِنْ عَفْوِكَ وَ حِرْزاً مِنْ حِفْظِكَ وَ سَعَةً مِنْ رِزْقِكَ وَ تَمَاماً مِنْ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ جِمَاعاً مِنْ مُعَافَاتِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Turn away from me Pre-determinations of every affliction and Decrees of every hardship. Spread over me a covering of Your-azwj Mercy, a touch of Your-azwj Pardon, a shield of Your-azwj Protection, an abundance of Your-azwj provision, the completion of Your-azwj bounties, and the fullness of Your-azwj Granted well-being.
وَ وَفِّقْ لِي يَا رَبِّ فِيهِ جَمِيعَ قَضَائِكَ عَلَى مُوَافَقَةِ هَوَايَ وَ حَقِيقَةِ أَمَلِي وَ ادْفَعْ عَنِّي مَا أَحْذَرُ وَ مَا لَا أَحْذَرُ عَلَى نَفْسِي مِمَّا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي وَ اجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ خَيْراً لِي لِآخِرَتِي وَ دُنْيَايَ
O Lord-azwj, Grant me success in all Your-azwj Decrees in a way that aligns with my desires and fulfils my hopes. Avert from me what I fear and what I do not fear concerning myself, for You‑azwj Know better than I do. Make all of this good for me in my Hereafter and my worldly life!
مَعَ مَا أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُخْلِفَنِي فِي مَنْ خَلَّفْتُ وَرَائِي مِنْ أَهْلٍ وَ مَالٍ وَ إِخْوَانٍ وَ جَمِيعِ حُزَانَتِي بِأَفْضَلِ مَا تُخْلِفُ غَائِباً مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَحْصِينِ كُلِّ عَوْرَةٍ وَ حِفْظِ كُلِّ مَضِيعَةٍ وَ تَمَامِ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ وَ دِفَاعِ كُلِّ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ كِفَايَةِ كُلِّ مَحْذُورٍ وَ صَرْفِكُلِّ مَكْرُوهٍ وَ كَمَالِ مَا تَجْمَعُ لِي بِهِ الرِّضَا وَ السُّرُورَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ ثُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي ذِكْرَكَ وَ شُكْرَكَ وَ طَاعَتَكَ وَ عِبَادَتَكَ حَتَّى تَرْضَى وَ بَعْدَ الرِّضَا
Along with what I ask You-azwj is to Take care of those I leave behind, my family, wealth, brothers, and all who grieve for me, with the best care You-azwj provide for an absent believer. Safeguard every vulnerability, and protect all that is left behind, and complete every bounty, and ward off every evil, and suffice me from every fear, and turn away every harm. Perfect for me all that brings satisfaction and joy in this world and the Hereafter, then Grant me the ability to remember You-azwj, be grateful to You-azwj, obey You-azwj, and worship You-azwj until You-azwj are Pleased with me and even after Your-azwj Pleasure!’’
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ الْيَوْمَ دِينِي وَ نَفْسِي وَ مَالِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ ذُرِّيَّتِي وَ جَمِيعَ إِخْوَانِي اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظِ الشَّاهِدَ مِنَّا وَ الْغَائِبَ اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنَا وَ احْفَظْ عَلَيْنَا اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا فِي جِوَارِكَ وَ لَا تَسْلُبْنَا نِعْمَتَكَ وَ لَا تُغَيِّرْ مَا بِنَا مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ وَ عَافِيَةٍ وَ فَضْلٍ.
O Allah-azwj! Today I entrust You-azwj my religion, and myself, and my wealth, and my family, and my offspring and entirety of my brothers! O Allah-azwj! Protect the ones present from us, and the absent! O Allah-azwj! Protect us and Protect upon us! O Allah-azwj! Make us to be in Your-azwj Shelter and do not Strip us for Your-azwj bounties, nor Change what is with us, and well-being and Grace!’’[14] (P.s., this is not a Hadeeth)
12- وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّكَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ التَّوَجُّهَ فِي وَقْتٍ يُكْرَهُ فِيهِ السَّفَرُ أَوْ تَخَافُ فِيهِ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْأُمُورِ فَقَدِّمْ أَمَامَ تَوَجُّهِكَ قِرَاءَةَ الْحَمْدِ وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَ آيَةِ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ الْقَدْرِ وَ آلِ عِمْرَانَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ إِلَى آخِرِهَا
And it is reported, when you intend the heading during a time the travelling is disliked in, or you fear something from the matters in it, advance before your heading reading (Surah) Al Hamd, and Al-Mawazateyn, and Ayat Al-Kursi, and (Surah) Al-Qadr, and (Surah) Aal-e-Imran from His-azwj Words: in the Creation of the skies and the earth: [3:191] – up to its end.
ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ يَصُولُ الصَّائِلُ وَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ يَطُولُ الطَّائِلُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ لِكُلِّ ذِي حَوْلٍ إِلَّا بِكَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ يَمْتَارُهَا ذُو قُوَّةٍ إِلَّا مِنْكَ بِصَفْوَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ بَرِيَّتِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ وَ عِتْرَتِهِ وَ سُلَالَتِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ
Then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! By You-azwj the assailer attacks and by Your-azwj Power the forbearer forbears, and there is no might for every one with might except through You-azwj, nor is there any strength the one with strength can clam except from You-azwj, by Your-azwj elites from Your-azwj creatures and good ones from Your-azwj beings, Muhammad-saww Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and his-saww family-asws, and his-saww Progeny-asws, may the greeting be upon him-saww and upon them-asws!
صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ اكْفِنِي شَرَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ ضَرَّهُ وَ ارْزُقْنِي خَيْرَهُ وَ يُمْنَهُ وَ اقْضِ لِي فِي مُتَصَرَّفَاتِي بِحُسْنِ الْعَاقِبَةِ وَ بُلُوغِ الْمَحَبَّةِ وَ الظَّفَرِ بِالْأُمْنِيَّةِ وَ كِفَايَةِ الطَّاغِيَةِ الْغَوِيَّةِ وَ كُلِّ ذِي قُدْرَةٍ لِي عَلَى أَذِيَّةٍ حَتَّى أَكُونَ فِي جُنَّةٍ وَ عِصْمَةٍ وَ نِعْمَةٍ مِنْ كُلِّ بَلَاءٍ وَ نَقِمَةٍ
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon them-asws, and suffice me of the evil of this day and its hand, and Provide me its goodness and its bounties, and Decree for me in my affairs with the excellent outcome, and reaching the love, and the success with the wishes, and sufficing from the tyrants, the deviators, and every one with power upon harming me until I come to be in a shield and protection and bounties from every affliction and scourge!
وَ أَبْدِلْنِي فِيهِ مِنَ الْمَخَاوِفِ أَمْناً وَ مِنَ الْعَوَائِقِ فِيهِ بِرّاً حَتَّى لَا يَصُدَّنِي صَادٌّ عَنِ الْمُرَادِ وَ لَا يَحُلَّ بِي طَارِقٌ مِنْ أَذَى الْعِبَادِ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
And Replace me with security in it from the fears, and my obstacles with righteousness so that nothing may hinder me from my goal, nor may any harm from people befall me. Indeed, You-azwj are Able upon all things, and He-azwj is the All-hearing, the All-Seeing!’
ثُمَّ وَدِّعْ أَهْلَكَ وَ انْهَضْ وَ قِفْ بِالْبَابِ فَسَبِّحِ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى بِتَسْبِيحِ الزَّهْرَاءِ ع وَ اقْرَأْ سُورَةَ الْحَمْدِ أَمَامَكَ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِكَ وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ كَذَلِكَ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي وَ عَلَيْكَ خَلَّفْتُ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ مَا خَوَّلْتَنِي وَ قَدْ وَثِقْتُ بِكَ فَلَا تُخَيِّبْنِي يَا مَنْ لَا يُخَيِّبُ مَنْ أَرَادَهُ وَ لَا يُضَيِّعُ مَنْ حَفِظَهُ
Then bid farewell to your family and get up and pause at the door. Glorify Allah-azwj the Exalted with the Glorification of Al Zahra-asws, and read Surah Al Hamd in front of you, and on your right, and on your left, and Ayat Al Kursi like that, and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj I have diverted my heading, and upon You-azwj I have left behind my family, and my wealth, and whatever You-azwj have Bestowed me, and I have trusted with You-azwj so do not disappoint me! O One Who does not disappoint the one intending Him-azwj nor does He-azwj Waste the one who seeks His-azwj Protection!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ احْفَظْنِي فِيمَا غِبْتُ عَنْهُ وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and Protect me in what I am absent from, and do not Allocate me to myself, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْنِي مَا تَوَجَّهْتُ لَهُ وَ سَبِّبْ إِلَيَّ الْمَزَارَ وَ سَخِّرْ لِي عِبَادَكَ وَ بِلَادَكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي زِيَارَةَ نَبِيِّكَ وَ وَلِيِّكَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مَنْ وُلْدِهِ وَ جَمِيعِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ
O Allah-azwj! Grant me the fulfilment of my intentions, and facilitate my journey, and Make Your-azwj servants and lands subservient to me. Bless me with the opportunity to visit Your-azwj Prophet-saww, Your-azwj Guardian Amir Al-Momineen-asws, the Imams-asws from his-asws descendants, and all the members of his-saww household, may the greeting be upon him-saww and upon them-asws!
وَ امْلَأْنِي مِنْكَ بِالْمَعُونَةِ فِي جَمِيعِ أَحْوَالِي وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي وَ لَا إِلَى غَيْرِي فَأَكِلَّ وَ أَعْطَبَ وَ زَوِّدْنِي التَّقْوَى وَ اغْفِر لِي فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ الْأُولَى اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي أَوْجَهَ مَنْ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْكَ
Fill me with Your-azwj Support in all my affairs, and do not leave me to myself or to others, lest I falter and perish. Provide me with piety as my sustenance, and Grant me forgiveness in the Hereafter and the former (world)! O Allah-azwj! Make me the most honoured of those who head to You-azwj!
وَ تَقُولُ أَيْضاً بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ اسْتَعَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ أَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ فَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ رَهْبَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ رَغْبَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَ لَا مَنْجَا وَ لَا مَفَرَّ مِنَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا إِلَى اللَّهِ
And also say, ‘In the name of Allah-azwj, and by Allah-azwj! I place my trust in Allah-azwj, seek His‑azwj Help, and rely upon Him-azwj! I entrust my affairs to Allah-azwj, out of fear of Him-azwj and in hope of Him-azwj for there is no refuge, no escape, and no fleeing from Allah-azwj except to Him-azwj!
رَبِّ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَ بِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِي بِالْخَيْرِ إِلَهِي إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَ لَا يَصْرِفُ السُّوءَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ عَزَّ جَارُكَ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ تَقَدَّسَتْ أَسْمَاؤُكَ وَ عَظُمَتْ آلَاؤُكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ.
My Lord-azwj, I have believed in Your-azwj Book, which You-azwj Revealed, and in Your-azwj Prophet-saww, whom You-azwj Sent, for none brings goodness except You-azwj, my God-azwj, and none averts harm except You-azwj! Exalted is Your-azwj Protection, great is Your-azwj praise, sanctified are Your-azwj Names, immense are Your-azwj bounties, and there is no god apart from You-azwj!’’[15] (p.s., This is not a Hadeeth)
13- فَقَدْ رُوِيَ أَنَّ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ مُصْبِحاً وَ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ لَمْ يَطْرُقْهُ بَلَاءٌ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ أَوْ يَئُوبَ وَ كَذَلِكَ إِنْ خَرَجَ فِي الْمَسَاءِ وَ دَعَا بِهِ لَمْ يَطْرُقْهُ بَلَاءٌ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ أَوْ يَئُوبَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ-
It has been reported, ‘The one who goes out from his house in the morning and supplicates with this supplication, no affliction will knock him until evening, or he returns, and like that if he goes out in the evening and supplicates with it, no affliction will knock him until morning, or he returns to his house.
ثُمَّ اقْرَأْ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَا وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَ أَمِرَّهَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ جَسَدِكَ وَ تَصَدَّقْ بِمَا يَسْهُلُ عَلَيْكَ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اشْتَرَيْتُ بِهَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةِ سَلَامَتِي وَ سَلَامَةَ سَفَرِي وَ مَا مَعِي اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي وَ احْفَظْ مَا مَعِي وَ سَلِّمْنِي وَ سَلِّمْ مَا مَعِي وَ بَلِّغْنِي وَ بَلِّغْ مَا مَعِي بِبَلَاغِكَ الْحَسَنِ الْجَمِيلِ-
Then read Surah Al Tawheed eleven times, and Surah Al Qadr, and Ayat Al Kursi, and Al Mawazateyn, and pass it (his hand) upon your entire body, and give in charity with whatever is easy to you and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! With this charity, I have bought the safety of my journey and whatever is with me! O Allah-azwj! Protect me and Protect what is with me, and Keep me safe and what is with me, and Make me reach and what is with me with Your-azwj excellent, beautiful reaching!
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ رَبِّ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُنَّ وَ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ سَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ
Then you should say, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj the Lenient, the Benevolent! There is no god except Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent! Glorious is Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the seven skies, and Lord-azwj of the seven earths, and whatever is within these, and whatever is between these, and Lord-azwj of the Magnificent Throne, and greetings be upon the Messengers-as, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds, and may Allah-azwj Sent Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww pure Progeny-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ كُنْ لِي جَاراً مِنْ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيدٍ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ دَخَلْتُ وَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَرَجْتُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُقَدِّمُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نِسْيَانِي وَ عَجَلَتِي بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ فِي سَفَرِي هَذَا ذَكَرْتُهُ أَمْ نَسِيتُهُ
O Allah-azwj! Be a Shelter for me from every obstinate tyrant, and from every renegade Satan-la! In the Name of Allah-azwj I have entered, and in the Name of Allah-azwj I have exited! O Allah-azwj! I am forwarding in front of me my forgetfulness and my haste! In the Name of Allah-azwj! Whatever Allah-azwj Desires to happen in this journey of mine, whether I have mentioned it or have forgotten it!
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى الْأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا وَ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَ الْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ اللَّهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا وَ اطْوِ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ وَ سَيِّرْنَا فِيهَا بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ طَاعَةِ رَسُولِكَ
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are the Assistance upon all of the affairs, and You-azwj are the Companion, and the Replacement in the family! O Allah-azwj! Ease upon us our journey, and Fold the ground for us, and Cause us to travel in it in obedience to You-azwj and obedience of Your-azwj Rasool-saww!
اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لَنَا ظَهْرَنَا وَ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيمَا رَزَقْتَنَا وَ قِنا عَذابَ النَّارِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَ كَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَ سُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَ الْمَالِ وَ الْوَلَدِ
O Allah-azwj! Rectify for us our backs, and Bless for us in what You-azwj have Provided us, and Save us from Punishment of the Hellfire! O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the hardships of the journey, and sorrow of the return, and the evil scenario in the family and the wealth and the children!
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ عَضُدِي وَ نَاصِرِي اللَّهُمَّ اقْطَعْ عَنِّي بُعْدَهُ وَ مَشَقَّتَهُ وَ اصْحَبْنِي فِيهِ وَ اخْلُفْنِي فِي أَهْلِي بِخَيْرٍ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ.
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are my Support and my Helper! O Allah-azwj! Cut off from me its remoteness, and its hardship, and Accompany me in it, and Replace me in my family with goodness, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!’
وَ تَأْخُذُ مَعَكَ عَصًا مِنْ شَجَرِ اللَّوْزِ الْمُرِّ.
And take with you a walking stick from the bitter almond tree’’.[16]
14 فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى السَّفَرِ وَ مَعَهُ عَصَا لَوْزٍ مُرٍّ وَ تَلَا قَوْلَهُ تَعَالَى وَ لَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ تِلْقاءَ مَدْيَنَ قالَ عَسى رَبِّي أَنْ يَهْدِيَنِي سَواءَ السَّبِيلِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ اللَّهُ عَلى ما نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌ
It has been reported from the Prophet-saww, he-saww said: ‘One who goes out to the journey and with him is a walking stick of bitter almond (tree) and he recites Words of the Exalted: So he exited from it, fearing, wary. He said: ‘Lord! Deliver me from the unjust people! [28:21] And when he headed towards Madyan, he said: ‘Perhaps my Lord with Guide me in the right way [28:22] – up to His-azwj Words: and Allah is a Protector upon what we are saying [28:28].
آمَنَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ كُلِّ سَبُعٍ ضَارٍ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ لِصٍّ عَادٍ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَاتِ حُمَةٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَ كَانَ مَعَهُ سَبْعٌ وَ سَبْعُونَ مِنَ الْمُعَقِّبَاتِ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ وَ يَضَعَهَا.
Allah-azwj the Exalted will Secure him from every harmful wild animal, and from every aggressive thief, and from every one with poison until he returns to his house, and with him would be seventy-seven from the protective Angels seeking Forgiveness for him until he returns and places it (luggage) down’’.[17]
15- وَ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَرِضَ آدَمُ ع مَرَضاً شَدِيداً أَصَابَتْهُ فِيهِ وَحْشَةٌ فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ ع فَقَالَ لَهُ اقْطَعْ مِنْهَا وَاحِدَةً وَ ضُمَّهَا إِلَى صَدْرِكَ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَأَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ الْوَحْشَة.
And it is reported from him-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww, he-saww said: ‘Adam-as fell sick with a severe illness in which he-as was afflicted with loneliness. He-as complained of that to Jibraeel-as. He-as said to him-as: ‘Cut off one piece from it (bitter almond branch) and place it upon your-as chest!’ He-as did that and Allah-azwj Removed the loneliness from him-as!’’[18]
16– وَ قَالَ ع مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ تُطْوَى لَهُ الْأَرْضُ فَلْيَتَّخِذِ النُّقُدَ مِنَ الْعَصَا.
And he-asws said: ‘One who intends the ground to fold for him, let him take the walking stick of bitter almond wood’’.[19]
17- وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع أَيْضاً أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُسَافِرَ فَلْيَصْحَبْ مَعَهُ عَصًا مِنْ شَجَرِ اللَّوْزِ الْمُرِّ وَ لْيَكْتُبْ هَذِهِ الْأَحْرُفَ فِي رَقٍّ وَ يَحْفِرُ الْعَصَا وَ يَجْعَلُ الرَّقَّ فِيهَا و هي سلمحلس وه به يهو ه يا هابيه ه باوبه ضاف ه مصينا بِهِ ه-
And it is reported from the Imams-asws also, they-asws said: ‘If one of you intends to travel, let him take a staff from the bitter almond tree and write these letters on a piece of parchment. Then, carve a hollow in the staff and place the parchment inside it, and these are –
سلمحلس وه به يهو ه يا هابيه ه باوبه ضاف ه مصينا بِهِ ه.
And do not travel alone, but if you must, then say: Whatever Allah wills. There is no power and no strength except through Allah. O Allah, ease my loneliness, assist me in my solitude, and safeguard me in my absence.
وَ لَا تَخْرُجْ وَحْدَكَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَإِنْ فَعَلْتَ فَقُلْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ آنِسْ وَحْشَتِي وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَى وَحْدَتِي وَ أَدِّ غَيْبَتِي.
And do not go out alone in a journey. If you do so, then say, ‘What Allah-azwj Desires! There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! Comfort my loneliness and Assist me upon my loneliness and Fulfil (Safeguard me in) my absence!’’[20]
و يستحب أن يخرج معتما محنكا
It is recommended to set out wearing a turban with its end wrapped under the chin.
18- فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ الْكَاظِمِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَنَا ضَامِنٌ لِمَنْ يَخْرُجُ يُرِيدُ سَفَراً مُعْتَمّاً تَحْتَ حَنَكِهِ أَنْ لَا يُصِيبَهُ السَّرَقُ وَ لَا الْغَرَقُ وَ لَا الْحَرَقُ.
It has been reported from Al Kazim-asws, he-asws said: ‘I-asws am a guarantor for the one who goes out intending a journey wearing a turban with its end wrapped under his chin that he will neither be afflicted with the theft, nor the drowning, nor the burning’’.[21]
و تأخذ معك شيئا من تربة الحسين ع و قل إذا أخذتها اللَّهُمَّ هَذِهِ طِينَةُ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَلِيِّكَ وَ ابْنِ وَلِيِّكَ اتَّخَذْتُهَا حِرْزاً لِمَا أَخَافُ وَ مَا لَا أَخَافُ.
And take something from the soil of Al-Husayn-asws and say when you take it, ‘O Allah-azwj! This is the clay of the grave of Al-Husayn-asws Your-azwj Guardian, and son-asws of Your-azwj Guardian! I have taken it as a protection for what I fear and for what I don’t fear!’’[22]
19- وَ رُوِيَ فِي صِفَةِ هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ أُخْرَى أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَخَذْتُهُ مِنْ قَبْرِ وَلِيِّكَ وَ ابْنِ وَلِيِّكَ فَاجْعَلْهُ لِي أَمْناً وَ حِرْزاً مِمَّا أَخَافُ وَ مِمَّا لَا أَخَافُ.
And it is reported in the description of this supplication, from another part, ‘You should be saying, ‘O Allah-azwj! I have taken it from the grave of Your-azwj Guardian and son-asws of Your‑azwj Guardian, so Make it a safety for me and a protection from what I fear and from what I don’t fear!’’[23]
20- فَقَدْ رُوِيَ أَنَّ مَنْ خَافَ سُلْطَاناً أَوْ غَيْرَهُ وَ خَرَجَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ وَ اسْتَعْمَلَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ حِرْزاً لَهُ وَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ السَّيْرَ نَهَاراً فَلْيَكُنْ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَ انْزِلْ وَسَطَهُ.
It has been reported that the one who fears a ruler or someone else, and he goes out from his house and utilises that, it would be a protection for him, and when you intend travel during the daytime, let it be one of the two ends of the days, and descend (rest) in its middle.
وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَيْلًا فَلْيَكُنْ سَيْرُكَ فِي آخِرِهِ فَإِنَّ الْأَرْضَ تُطْوَى مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ كَمَا رُوِيَ فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ الرُّكُوبَ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَإِذَا اسْتَوَيْتَ فَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا لِلْإِسْلَامِ وَ عَلَّمَنَا الْقُرْآنَ وَ مَنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص سُبْحانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنا هذا وَ ما كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَ إِنَّا إِلى رَبِّنا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ
And if it was night, let your travel be in its end, for the ground folds from end of the night just as it reported. When you are intending the riding, so say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest!’ When you are stabilised, say, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Guided us to Al Islam and Taught us the Quran and Conferred upon us with Muhammad-saww! ‘Glory be to the One Who Subjugated this one for us, and we were not capable for it [43:13] And we would be returning to our Lord’ [43:14], and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds!
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْحَامِلُ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ وَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى الْأَمْرِ اللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْنَا بَلَاغاً يَبْلُغُ إِلَى خَيْرٍ بَلَاغاً يَبْلُغُ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ وَ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا ضَيْرَ لَنَا إِلَّا ضَيْرُكَ وَ لَا خَيْرَ لَنَا إِلَّا خَيْرُكَ وَ لَا حَافِظَ غَيْرُكَ
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are the Carrier upon the backs and the Aider upon the matters! O Allah‑azwj! Make us reach a destination reaching to a good destination, reaching to Your-azwj Mercy and Your-azwj Pleasure and Your-azwj Forgiveness! O Allah-azwj! There is no harm for us except Your-azwj harm nor is there any goodness for us except Your-azwj Goodness, nor any Protector apart from You-azwj!’
وَ تُسَبِّحُ اللَّهَ سَبْعاً وَ تَحْمَدُهُ سَبْعاً وَ تُهَلِّلُهُ سَبْعاً وَ تَقْرَأُ آيَةَ السُّخْرَةِ ثُمَّ تَقُولُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ.
And you should glorify Allah-azwj seven (times), and praise Him-azwj seven (times), and extol His‑azwj Oneness seven (times), and read Ayat Al Sakhra (43:13). Then say, ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj, the Living, the Eternal! O Allah-azwj! Forgive my sins for me, surely no one forgives the sins except You-azwj!’
و إن كان ركوبك في سفينة فسيجيء ذلك في آخر هذا الفصل إن شاء الله تعالى.
And if your travel is by a ship, that will be coming in the end of this chapter, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires.
ثُمَّ تَسِيرُ وَ تَقُولُ فِي مَسِيرِكَ اللَّهُمَّ خَلِّ سَبِيلَنَا وَ أَحْسِنْ تَسْيِيرَنَا وَ أَعْظِمْ عَاقِبَتَنَا
Then travel and say in your travel, ‘O Allah-azwj! Clear our path, Guide our journey well, and Grant us the best outcome!’
وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ مَسِيرِي عَبَراً وَ صَمْتِي تَفَكُّراً وَ كَلَامِي ذِكْراً
And say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Make my journey a source of lessons, my silence a moment of reflection, and my speech a remembrance of You-azwj!’
وَ تَقُولُ أَيْضاً فِي طَرِيقِكَ خَرَجْتُ بِحَوْلِ اللَّهِ وَ قُوَّتِهِ بِغَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَ لَا قُوَّةٍ لَكِنْ بِحَوْلِ اللَّهِ وَ قُوَّتِهِ بَرِئْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ مِنَ الْحَوْلِ وَ الْقُوَّةِ
And you should also say in your road, ‘I have gone out by the Might of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Strength without any might from me nor any strength, but by the Might of Allah-azwj and His‑azwj Strength! I have detached myself to You-azwj, O Lord-azwj, from the might and the strength!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بَرَكَةَ سَفَرِي هَذَا وَ بَرَكَةَ أَهْلِهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْوَاسِعِ رِزْقاً حَلَالًا طَيِّباً تَسُوقُهُ إِلَيَّ وَ أَنَا خَافِضٌ فِي عَافِيَةٍ بِقُوَّتِكَ وَ قُدْرَتِكَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the Blessings of this journey and for Blessings of its people! O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj from Your-azwj vast bounty, for lawful and pure sustenance that You-azwj Bring to me while I am in comfort and well-being, by Your-azwj Strength and Power!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي سِرْتُ فِي سَفَرِي هَذَا بِلَا ثِقَةٍ مِنِّي لِغَيْرِكَ وَ لَا رَجَاءٍ لِسِوَاكَ فَارْزُقْنِي فِي ذَلِكَ شُكْرَكَ وَ عَافِيَتَكَ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِطَاعَتِكَ وَ عِبَادَتِكَ حَتَّى تَرْضَى وَ بَعْدَ الرِّضَا
O Allah-azwj, I embark on this journey with no reliance on anyone but You-azwj and no hope in anyone besides You-azwj, so Grant me in this journey, to thank You-azwj and well-being, and Guidance to Your-azwj obedience and worship until You-azwj are Pleased, and even after Your‑azwj Pleasure!
و كان رسول الله ص إذا هبط سبح و إذا صعد كبر وَ تَقُولُ إِذَا عَلَوْتَ تَلْعَةً أَوْ أَكَمَةً أَوْ قَنْطَرَةً اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الشَّرَفُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرَفٍ.
And Rasool-Allah-saww, whenever he-saww descended, glorified, and whenever he-saww ascended, exclaimed Takbeer, and you should say whenever you ascend a hill or mound, or bridge, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! There is no god except Allah-azwj and Allah-azwj is Greatest, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds! O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Nobility upon all nobilities!’
فَإِذَا بَلَغْتَ جِسْراً فَقُلْ حِينَ تَضَعُ قَدَمَكَ عَلَيْهِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ ادْحَرْ عَنِّي الشَّيْطَانَ.
When you reach a bridge, say when you place your food upon it, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! Drive the Satan-la away from me!’
وَ إِذَا أَشْرَفْتَ عَلَى مَنْزِلٍ أَوْ قَرْيَةٍ أَوْ بَلَدٍ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا أَظَلَّتْ وَ رَبَّ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا أَقَلَّتْ وَ رَبَّ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَ مَا أَضَلَّتْ وَ رَبَّ الرِّيَاحِ وَ مَا ذَرَتْ وَ رَبَّ الْبِحَارِ وَ مَا جَرَتْ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ وَ خَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَ شَرِّ مَا فِيهَا
And when you overlook upon a dwelling or a town or a city, say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Lord-azwj of the seven skies and what they shade, and Lord-azwj of the seven earths and what they carry, and Lord-azwj of the Satans-la and what they stray, and Lord-azwj of the winds and what these scatter, and Lord-azwj of the oceans and what they flow! I ask You-azwj for goodness of this town, and goodness of what is in it, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from its evil and evil of what is in it!
اللَّهُمَّ يَسِّرْ لِي مَا كَانَ فِيهَا مِنْ يُسْرٍ وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَى قَضَاءِ حَاجَتِي يَا قَاضِيَ الْحَاجَاتِ وَ يَا مُجِيبَ الدَّعَوَاتِ أَدْخِلْنِي مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَ أَخْرِجْنِي مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطاناً نَصِيراً.
O Allah-azwj! Ease for me what happens in it from easiness, and Assist me upon fulfilling my needs, O Fulfiller of the needs, and O Responder to the supplication! And say: ‘Lord! Cause me to enter a correct entrance, and Cause me to go exit a correct exit, and Make for me from Yourself a (Divine) Authority, a persistent helper [17:80]’.
فَإِذَا نَزَلْتَ مَنْزِلًا فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَ أَنْزِلْنِي مُنْزَلًا مُبارَكاً وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنْزِلِينَ وَ صَلِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَجْلِسَ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنَا خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْبُقْعَةِ وَ أَعِذْنَا مِنْ شَرِّهَا
When you descend at a dwelling, say, ‘O Allah-azwj! And say: ‘Lord! Disembark me in a Blessed landing, and you are the best of the Landers’ [23:29]’, and pray two units Salat before you sit down. Say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Provide us goodness of this town and we seek Refuge from its evil!
اللَّهُمَّ أَطْعِمْنَا مِنْ جَنَاهَا وَ أَعِذْنَا مِنْ وَبَاهَا وَ حَبِّبْنَا إِلَى أَهْلِهَا وَ حَبِّبْ صَالِحِي أَهْلِهَا إِلَيْنَا
O Allah-azwj! Feed us from its fruits, Protect us from its ailments, Endear us to its people, and Endear its righteous inhabitants to us!’
وَ قُلْ أَيْضاً أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ أَئِمَّةٌ أَتَوَلَّاهُمْ وَ أَبْرَأُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمْ
And say as well, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, and I testify that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and Ali-asws is Emir of the Momineen-asws and the Imams-asws from his-asws sons-asws are Imams-asws! I befriend them and disavow from their-asws enemies!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْبُقْعَةِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا اللَّهُمَّ وَ اجْعَلْ أَوَّلَ دُخُولِنَا هَذَا صَلَاحاً وَ أَوْسَطَهُ فَلَاحاً وَ آخِرَهُ نَجَاحاً.
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for goodness of this spot, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from its evil! O Allah-azwj, and Make the beginning of this entry righteous, and its middle successful, and its end gainful!’
وَ إِذَا نَزَلْتَ مَنْزِلًا تَتَخَوَّفُ مِنْهُ السَّبُعَ فَقُلْ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ سَبُعٍ.
And when you descend at a stop, you are fearing the wild animals from, say, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for him! For Him-azwj is the Kingdom and for Him-azwj is the Praise. The good is in His-azwj Hand, and He-azwj is Able upon all things! O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from every wild animal!’
فَإِذَا خِفْتَ شَيْئاً مِنْ هَوَامِّ الْأَرْضِ فَقُلْ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي يُخَافُ ذَلِكَ فِيهِ يَا ذَارِئَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا لِعِلْمِكَ بِمَا يَكُونُ مِمَّا ذَرَأْتَ لَكَ السُّلْطَانُ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ دُونَكَ
When you fear something from the vermin of the earth, say in the place in which you fear that, ‘O Scatterer of whatever is in the earth, all of it is in Your-azwj Knowledge with what would be happening from what You-azwj have Scattered! For You-azwj is the Authority upon all the ones besides You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ وَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِنَ الضُّرِّ فِي بَدَنِي مِنْ سَبُعٍ أَوْ هَامَّةٍ أَوْ عَارِضٍ مِنْ سَائِرِ الدَّوَابِّ يَا خَالِقَهَا بِقُدْرَتِهِ ادْرَأْهَا عَنِّي وَ احْجُزْهَا وَ لَا تُسَلِّطْهَا عَلَيَّ وَ عَافِنِي مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَ بَأْسِهَا يَا اللَّهُ يَا ذَا الْعَالَمِ الْعَظِيمِ حُطْنِي بِحِفْظِكَ وَ أَجِنَّنِي بِسِتْرِكَ الْوَاقِي فِي مَخَاوِفِي يَا رَحِيمُ.
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj and with Your-azwj Power over all things from the harm in by body, from a wild animal, or a vermin, or a presented from rest of the animals! O Its Creator with His-azwj Power! Turn it away from me and Keep it away and do not let it prevail over me, and Excuse me from its evil and its prowess! O Allah-azwj! O Possessor of the Magnificent Knowledge! Surround me with Your-azwj Protection and Shield me with Your-azwj Covering saving me in my fears, O Merciful!’
وَ إِذَا خِفْتَ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْأَعْدَاءِ وَ اللُّصُوصِ فَقُلْ فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي تَخَافُ ذَلِكَ فِيهِ يَا آخِذاً بِنَوَاصِي خَلْقِهِ وَ السَّابِقِ بِهَا إِلَى قُدْرَتِهِ وَ الْمُنْفِذَ فِيهَا حُكْمَهُ وَ خَالِقَهَا وَ جَاعِلَ قَضَائِهِ لَهَا غَالِباً
And when you fear something from the enemies and the thieves, say in the place in which you fear that ‘O Seizer with the forelocks of His-azwj creatures and the Preceder with it to His-azwj Power, and the Implementer in it of His-azwj Judgment, and its Creator, and Maker of its Decree for it as prevailing!
إِنِّي مَكِيدٌ لِضَعْفِي وَ لِقُوَّتِكَ عَلَى مَنْ كَادَنِي تَعَرَّضْتُ لَكَ فَإِنْ حُلْتَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَذَلِكَ مَا أَرْجُو وَ إِنْ أَسْلَمْتَنِي إِلَيْهِمْ غَيَّرُوا مَا بِي مِنْ نِعْمَتِكَ يَا خَيْرَ الْمُنْعِمِينَ لَا تَجْعَلْ أَحَداً مُغَيِّراً نِعَمَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ بِهَا عَلَيَّ سِوَاكَ وَ لَا تُغَيِّرْهَا أَنْتَ رَبِّي قَدْ تَرَى الَّذِي نَزَلَ بِي فَحُلْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ شَرِّهِمْ بِحَقِّ مَا بِهِ تَسْتَجِيبُ الدُّعَاءَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Indeed, I am weak and Your-azwj Strength over those who plot against me, I have turned to You-azwj. If You-azwj Place a barrier between me and them, that is what I hope for. But if You-azwj leave me to them, they will change what You-azwj have Blessed me with, O Bestower of bounties! Do not Allow anyone to change the bounties You-azwj have Granted me, except You-azwj, and do not Alter them! You-azwj are my Lord-azwj! You-azwj can See that which has befallen me, so Loosen between me and their evil by the right of is what is with me, and Answer the supplication, O Allah-azwj! O Lord-azwj of the worlds!’
وَ تَقُولُ أَيْضاً بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَ إِلَيْكَ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي وَ إِلَيْكَ فَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي فَاحْفَظْنِي بِحِفْظِ الْإِيمَانِ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِي وَ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَ عَنْ شِمَالِي وَ مِنْ فَوْقِي وَ مِنْ تَحْتِي وَ ادْفَعْ عَنِّي بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ.
And you should say as well, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, and by Allah-azwj, and from Allah-azwj, and to Allah-azwj, and in the Way of Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj I have submitted myself, and to You-azwj I have diverted my face, and to You-azwj I have delegated my affairs, so Protect me with the Protection of Eman, from my front, and from behind me, and on my right and on my left, and from above me and from beneath me, Defend e by Your-azwj Might and Your-azwj Strength! There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!’’[24]
21- فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ زَيْنِ الْعَابِدِينَ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَا أُبَالِي إِذَا قُلْتُ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ لَوِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيَّ الْجِنُّ وَ الْإِنْسُ-
It has been reported from Zayn Al Abideen-asws, he-asws said: ‘I-asws don’t care (worry) when I-asws say these phrases, even if the Jinn and the humans were to unite against me-asws!’
وَ إِذَا خِفْتَ جِنّاً أَوْ شَيْطَاناً فَقُلْ يَا اللَّهُ الْإِلَهُ الْأَكْبَرُ الْقَاهِرُ بِقُدْرَتِهِ جَمِيعَ عِبَادِهِ الْمُطَاعُ لِعَظَمَتِهِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ خَلِيقَتِهِ وَ الْمُمْضَى مَشِيَّتُهُ لِسَابِقِ قُدْرَتِهِ
And when you fear a Jinn of a Satan-la, say, ‘O Allah-azwj, the Greatest God, the Dominant Who Subdues all His-azwj servants by His-azwj Power, the One obeyed by all His-azwj creation due to His-azwj Greatness, whose Desire is carried out by His-azwj supreme Authority.
أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَكْلَأُ مَا خَلَقْتَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ لَا يَمْتَنِعُ مَنْ أَرَدْتَ بِهِ سُوءاً بِشَيْءٍ دُونَكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ السُّوءِ وَ لَا يَحُولُ أَحَدٌ دُونَكَ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ وَ بَيْنَ مَا تُرِيدُهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ كُلُّ مَا يُرَى وَ مَا لَا يُرَى فِي قَبْضَتِكَ وَ جَعَلْتَ قَبَائِلَ الْجِنِّ وَ الشَّيَاطِينِ يَرَوْنَّا وَ لَا نَرَاهُمْ وَ أَنَا لِكَيْدِهِمْ خَائِفٌ فَآمِنِّي مِنْ شَرِّهِمْ وَ بَأْسِهِمْ بِحَقِّ سُلْطَانِكَ الْعَزِيزِ يَا عَزِيزُ-
You-azwj are the One Who watches over what You-azwj have Created, by night and by day. No one can escape the harm You-azwj Intend for them except by You-azwj, and no one can stand between anyone and the good You-azwj Desire for them. All that is seen and unseen is in Your‑azwj Grasp. You-azwj have made the tribes of Jinn and Satans-la see us while we cannot see them, and I fear their plots. So Grant me safety from their evil and their harm by the truth of Your-azwj Mighty Authority, O Almighty’.
وَ تَقُولُ فِي جَمِيعِ أَحْوَالِكَ هَذِهِ الدُّعَاءَ لِحِفْظِ نَفْسِكَ وَ رَدِّكَ إِلَى وَطَنِكَ سَالِماً يَا جَامِعاً بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ عَلَى تَأَلُّفٍ مِنَ الْقُلُوبِ وَ شِدَّةِ تَوَاصُلٍ لَهُمْ فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ وَ يَا جَامِعاً بَيْنَ أَهْلِ طَاعَتِهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ وَ يَا مُفَرِّجَ حُزْنِ كُلِّ مَحْزُونٍ وَ يَا مُسَهِّلَ كُلِّ غُرْبَةٍ
And you should say this supplication in entirety of your situations for your protection and your returning to your homeland safely – ‘O Gatherer between the people of Paradise upon the unity of hearts and strong bonds of love! O You-azwj Who Gathers those who are obedient to You-azwj among Your-azwj creation! O Reliever of every sorrowful heart, O Easer for every estrangement!
وَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ ارْحَمْنِي فِي غُرْبَتِي بِحُسْنِ الْحِفْظِ وَ الْكِلَاءَةِ وَ الْمَعُونَةِ وَ فَرِّجْ مَا بِي مِنَ الضِّيقِ وَ الْحُزْنِ بِالْجَمْعِ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ أَحِبَّائِي وَ لَا تَفْجَعْنِي بِانْقِطَاعِ رُؤْيَةِ أَهْلِي عَنِّي وَ لَا تَفْجَعْ أَهْلِي بِانْقِطَاعِ رُؤْيَتِي عَنْهُمْ بِكُلِّ مَسَائِلِكَ أَسْأَلُكَ وَ أَدْعُوكَ فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي-
O most Merciful of the merciful ones! Mercy me in my estrangement with Your-azwj perfect protection, care, and assistance. Relieve me from my distress and sorrow by reuniting me with my loved ones. Do not afflict me with the pain of being cut off from seeing my family, nor afflict my family with the pain of being cut off from seeing me. By all Your-azwj means, I ask and supplicate to You-azwj, so Answer (my supplication for) me!’
وَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ الرَّحِيلَ مِنْ مَنْزِلٍ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ ادْعُ اللَّهَ بِالْحِفْظِ وَ وَدِّعِ الْمَوْضِعَ وَ أَهْلَهُ فَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَوْضِعٍ أَهْلًا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَلَائِكَةِ اللَّهِ الْحَافِظِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ-
And you intend to depart from a place, pray two units Salat and supplicate to Allah-azwj for the Protection and bid farewell to the place and its people, for there are residents from the Angels for every place, and say, ‘The greetings be upon the Angel of Allah-azwj, the protectors! The greetings be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah-azwj, and Mercy and His-azwj Blessings!’
وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ قَدْ ارْتَحَلْنَا مِنْ مَنْزِلِنَا هَذَا وَ نَحْنُ عَنْكَ رَاضُونَ فَارْضَ عَنَّا بِرَحْمَتِكَ-
And say, ‘O Allah-azwj! We are departing from this place of our and we are pleased with You-azwj, so be Pleased with us with Your-azwj Mercy!’
وَ إِذَا ضَلَلْتَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ فَنَادِ يَا صَالِحُ وَ يَا أَبَا صَالِحٍ أَرْشِدُونَا إِلَى الطَّرِيقِ يَرْحَمُكُمُ اللَّهُ.
And when you stray from the road (lost), call out, ‘O Salih, and O Abu Salih! Guide us to the (correct) road, may Allah-azwj Mercy you!’’[25]
22- فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّ الْبَرَّ مُوَكَّلٌ بِهِ صَالِحٌ وَ الْبَحْرَ مُوَكَّلٌ بِهِ حَمْزَةُ
It has been reported from Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘The land has been allocated with (the Angel) Salih, and the ocean has been allocated with (the Angel) Hamza’.
وَ رُوِيَ إِذَا ضَلَلْتُمْ فَتَيَامَنُوا وَ إِذَا اسْتَصْعَبَتْ عَلَيْكَ دَابَّتُكَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَاقْرَأْ فِي أُذُنِهَا الْيُمْنَى وَ لَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَنْ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ طَوْعاً وَ كَرْهاً وَ إِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ
And it has been reported, ‘When you stray (are lost), perform Tayammum; and when your animal is difficult upon you in the road, read in its right ear, ‘And to Him submit the ones is in the skies and the earth, willingly and unwillingly, and to Him they would be returning [3:83]’.
فَإِذَا رَكِبْتَ فِي سَفِينَةٍ فَكَبِّرِ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى مِائَةَ تَكْبِيرَةٍ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ الْعَنْ ظَالِمِي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ قُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَلَى الصَّادِقِينَ
When you sail in a ship, exclaim Takbeer of Allah-azwj the Exalted one hundred Takbeers, and send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww one hundred times, and curse the oppressors of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww one hundred times, and say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, and by Allah-azwj, and may the Salawaat be upon Rasool-Allah-saww, and upon the truthful!

O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are our Trust and our Hope and our Helper! Do not Release with us what we don’t like. O Allah-asws! With You-azwj we depart and with You-azwj we travel. O Allah-azwj! Free our way and Magnify our well-being. You-azwj are the Replacement regarding the family and the wealth, and Your-azwj are the Carrier in the water and upon the surface (of the earth)!

And he said: ‘Embark in it, in the Name of Allah would be its sailing and its anchoring; surely my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful’ [11:41] And they are not appreciating Allah with the appreciation that is due to Him; and the whole of the earth would be in His Grip on the Day of Judgement, and the skies having been rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorious is He and Exalted from what they are associating [39:67].

O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are Best of the one the men delegate to and the luggage is tied to, and You-azwj my Master are most Honourable of the ones visited and aimed for, and You-azwj had Made honour to be for every visitor and a gift for every delegate!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ تُحْفَتَكَ إِيَّايَ فَكَاكَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ اشْكُرْ سَعْيِي وَ ارْحَمْ مَسِيرِي مِنْ أَهْلِي بِغَيْرِ مَنٍّ مِنِّي عَلَيْكَ بَلْ لَكَ الْمِنَّةُ عَلَيَّ أَنْ جَعَلْتَ لِي سَبِيلًا إِلَى زِيَارَةِ وَلِيِّكَ وَ عَرَّفْتَنِي فَضْلَهُ وَ حَفِظْتَنِي فِي لَيْلِي وَ نَهَارِي حَتَّى بَلَّغْتَنِي هَذَا الْمَكَانَ وَ قَدْ رَجَوْتُكَ فَلَا تَقْطَعْ رَجَائِي وَ قَدْ أَمَّلْتُكَ فَلَا تُخَيِّبْ أَمَلِي وَ اجْعَلْ مَسِيرِي هَذَا كَفَّارَةً لِذُنُوبِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
I ask You-azwj to Make Your-azwj Gift to me as being liberation of my neck from the Hellfire, and Appreciate my striving, and Mercy my traveling away from my family without any conferment from me upon You-azwj, but for You-azwj is the Conferment upon me! Make for me a way to visit Your-azwj Guardian, and Introduce me to his-asws merit, and Protect me during my night and my day until You-azwj Make me reach this place, and I have hoped so do not Cut off my hopes, and I have wished, so do not disappoint my wishes, and Make this journey of mine as an expiation for my sins, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[26]

(The book) ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkaam’ – Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Dawood Al Qummi, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Bin Ahmad, from Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al Himeyri, from Muhammad Bin Al Fazl Al Baghdadi who said,
‘I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan Al Askari-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! A month of Ramazan enters upon the man, and it occurs in his heart to perform visitation of Al-Husayn-asws and visitation of your-asws father-asws at Baghdad. So he stays in his house until a month of Ramazan exits from him. Then he visits them-asws, or should he go out during a month of Ramazan and break (the fasts)?’
فَكَتَبَ لِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ وَ الْأَجْرِ مَا لَيْسَ لِغَيْرِهِ مِنَ الشُّهُورِ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ فَهُوَ الْمَأْثُورُ.
He-asws wrote: ‘There are merits and the Rewards for a month of Ramazan which aren’t for other months. When it enters, it is the preferred.[27]

(The book) ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkaam’ – Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Mahboub, from Haroun Bin Al-Hassan Bin Jabalah, from Sama’at, from Abu Baseer,
‘I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! A month of Ramazan enters upon me, so I fast part of it. Then an intention presented to me to perform visitation of the grave of Abu Abdullah-asws. Shall I visit him-asws and break while going and coming or shall I stay until I break, and visit him-asws after having broken a day or two days?’
فَقَالَ أَقِمْ حَتَّى تُفْطِرَ
He-asws said: ‘Stay until you break’.
قُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ
I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! It is better?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ أَ مَا تَقْرَأُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ.
He-asws said: ‘Yes. Have you not read in the Book of Allah-azwj: therefore whoever of you is present in the Month, so let him Fast it [2:185]’’.[28]
بيان: هذان الخبران يدلان على مرجوحية إفطار الصوم لزيارتهم ع و قد وردت الأخبار في الترغيب على الإفطار لما هو أقل فضلا منها كتشييع المؤمن و استقباله.
Explanation: These two reports indicate the undesirability of breaking one’s fast for their-asws visitation. However, there are narrations that encourage breaking the fast for acts of lesser merit, such as attending a believer’s funeral or welcoming them.
و قد ورد الحث على زيارة الحسين ع في ليالي القدر و غيرها من ليالي الشهر و لا يتأتى لأكثر الناس بدون الإفطار و لا يبعد حملهما على التقية و الله يعلم.
There are also narrations urging the visitation of Imam Hussein-asws on Laylat Al-Qadr and other nights of the month, which most people cannot manage without breaking their fast. It is not far-fetched to interpret these reports as being influenced by Taqiyya (dissimulation), and Allah Knows.

O Ali-asws! One who maintains your-asws graves and tends to these so rather they have assisted Suleyman Bin Dawood-as upon building Bayt Al-Maqdis; and the one who visits your-asws graves, the Rewards of that would equate to seventy Hajj after the Hajj of Al Islam, and he would come out from his sins until he returns having visited you-asws, to be like the day his mother had given him birth!

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj has not Created any creature more numerous than the Angels, and seventy thousand Angels descend every day. They come to Al Bayt Al Mamour and perform Tawaaf of it. When they have performed Tawaaf of it, they descend and perform Tawaaf of the Kaaba.

When they has performed Tawaaf of the Kaaba, they come to the grave of the Prophet-saww and greet unto him-as, then they come to the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws. They greet unto him-asws, then they come to the grave of Al-Husayn-asws. They greet unto him-asws, then they ascend and the likes of them descend, forever up to the Day of Qiyamah!’’[55]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from Jabir Bin Abdullah-ra Al-Ansari who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said in a lengthy Hadeeth: ‘Allah-azwj has Allocated a group of Angels with Fatima-asws, protecting her-asws from in front of her-asws, and from behind her-asws, and from her-asws right and from her-asws left, and they would be with her-asws during her-asws lifetime and by her-asws grave after her-asws passing away, frequenting the Salawaat upon her-asws and upon her-asws father-saww, and her-asws husband-asws, and her-asws two sons-asws.

As for the four, those who are from the former ones – Noah-as, and Ibrahim-as, and Musa-as and Isa-as; and as for the four from the latter ones – Muhammad-saww, and Ali-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws!

‘I said to Al-Reza-asws, ‘What is for one who visits the grave of any one of the Imams-asws?’
قَالَ لَهُ مِثْلُ مَنْ أَتَى قَبْرَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع

قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ وَ مَا لِمَنْ زَارَ قَبْرَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him, ‘And what is for the one who visits the grave of Abu Abdullah-asws?’
قَالَ الْجَنَّةُ وَ اللَّهِ.
He-asws said: ‘The Paradise, by Allah-azwj!’’[61]

And by his chain, from Abdul Rahman Bin Muslim,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he-asws said: ‘One who visits us-asws in our-asws expired terms, it is as if he has visited us-asws during our-asws lifetimes, and the one who fights against our-asws enemies, it is as if he has fought alongside us-asws, and the one who befriends our-asws loved ones so he has loved us-asws, and the one who cheers a Momin has cheered us-asws, and the one who assists our-asws poor ones his reciprocation would be upon our-asws grandfather-saww Muhammad-saww!’’[62]

I say, ‘I found in one of the compilations our late companions who said in ‘Kitab Tahreer Al Ibadah’,
‘It is reported from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘One who intends from his intention to visit the grave of am Imam-asws, the obedience to whom is obligatory, and extracts one Dirham for his expenditure, Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Mention, will Write for him seventy thousand good deeds, and Delete from him seventy thousand evil deeds, and Write his name in the register of the truthful and the martyrs, whether he spends extravagantly in that expenditure or is not extravagant!’’[63]
باب 3 آداب الزيارة و أحكام الروضات و بعض النوادر
CHAPTER 3 – ETIQUETTES OF THE VISITATION AND RULINGS OF THE SHRINES, AND SOME OF THE MISCELLANEOUS
الآيات طه فَاخْلَعْ نَعْلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ بِالْوادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوىً
The Verses – (Surah) Ta Ha: therefore remove your slippers! You are in the Holy valley of Tuwa! [20:12].
الحجرات يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْواتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِ وَ لا تَجْهَرُوا لَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَنْ تَحْبَطَ أَعْمالُكُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ لا تَشْعُرُونَ
(Surah) Al Hujuraat: O you those who believe! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet, and do not be loud to him with the talk like the loudness of some of you to the others, lest your deeds become Nullified while you are not aware [49:2].
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَغُضُّونَ أَصْواتَهُمْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ امْتَحَنَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوى لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ
Surely those who are lowering their voices in the presence of Rasool-Allah, they are those whose hearts Allah has Tested for piety. They shall have Forgiveness and a Mighty Recompense [49:3].
تفسير أقول الآية الأولى تومئ إلى إكرام الروضات المقدسة و خلع النعلين فيها بل عند القرب منها لا سيما في الطف و الغري لما روي أن الشجرة كانت في كربلاء و أن الغري قطعة من الطور
Interpretation – The first Verse indicates honouring the Holy Shrines and taking off the slippers in these, or even near these, especially in Karbala and Al Ghary, as it has been narrated that the tree (mentioned in the Verse) was in Karbala and that Al Ghary is a part of Mount Sinai.
و الثانية تدل على لزوم خفض الصوت عند قبر النبي ص و عدم جهر الصوت لا بالزيارة و لا بغيرها. لما روي أن حرمتهم بعد موتهم كحرمتهم في حياتهم و كذا عند قبور سائر الأئمة ع لما ورد أن حرمتهم كحرمة النبي ص.
And the second (Verse) evidence’s upon the necessity of lowering one’s voice at the grave of the Prophet-saww and refraining from the loud voice, neither with (reciting) the visitation nor anything else, due to what is reported that their-asws sanctity after their-asws passing away is the same as their-asws sanctity during their-asws lifetimes, and like that is by the graves of rest of the Imams-asws due to what is referred that their-asws sanctity is like the sanctity of the Prophet-saww’.
1- وَ يُؤَيِّدُ مَا ذَكَرْنَا مَا رَوَاهُ الْكُلَيْنِيُّ ره بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فِي خَبَرٍ طَوِيلٍ يَذْكُرُ فِيهِ وَفَاةَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَنْ صُلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ حُمِلَ فَأُدْخِلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلَمَّا أُوقِفَ عَلَى قَبْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بَلَغَ عَائِشَةَ الْخَبَرُ وَ قِيلَ لَهَا إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَقْبَلُوا بِالْحَسَنِ لِيُدْفَنَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص
And what we mentioned is supported by what is reported by Al Kulayni by his chain, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws said in a lengthy Hadeeth mentioning in it the expiry of Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws both. He-asws said: ‘When (funeral) Salat had been prayed upon him-asws, he-asws was carried and entered the Masjid. When he-asws was paused by the grave of Rasool-Allah-saww, the new reached Al Ayesha and it was said to her, ‘They have come with Al-Hassan-asws for him-asws to be buried alongside Rasool-Allah-saww!’
فَخَرَجَتْ مُبَادِرَةً عَلَى بَغْلٍ بِسَرْجٍ فَكَانَتْ أَوَّلَ امْرَأَةٍ رَكِبَتْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سَرْجاً فَوَقَفَتْ فَقَالَتْ نَحُّوا ابْنَكُمْ عَنْ بَيْتِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُدْفَنُ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ وَ لَا يُهْتَكُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حِجَابُهُ
She went out rushing upon a saddled mule. She was the first woman to have ridden a saddle in Al-Islam. She paused. She said, ‘Move your-asws son-asws from my house, for nothing will be buried in it nor will there be any violation upon Rasool-Allah-saww of his-saww veil!’
فَقَالَ لَهَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا قَدِيماً هَتَكْتِ أَنْتِ وَ أَبُوكِ حِجَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَدْخَلْتِ بَيْتَهُ مَنْ لَا يُحِبُّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قُرْبَهُ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَائِلُكِ عَنْ ذَلِكِ
Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws both, said to her: ‘For a long time you and your father have violated the veil of Rasool-Allah-saww, and you entered into his-saww house some whose nearness Rasool-Allah-saww did not like, and Allah-azwj will be Questioning you about that!
يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ أَخِي أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُقَرِّبَهُ مِنْ أَبِيهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لِيُحْدِثَ بِهِ عَهْداً وَ اعْلَمِي أَنَّ أَخِي أَعْلَمُ النَّاسِ بِاللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ وَ أَعْلَمُ بِتَأْوِيلِ كِتَابِهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَهْتِكَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص سِتْرَهُ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ
O Ayesha! My-asws brother-asws had instructed me-asws that I-asws draw him-asws closer to his-asws (grand) father-saww Rasool-Allah-saww so that he-asws would renew his-asws pact with him-saww, and know that my-asws brother-asws is the most knowledgeable of the people with Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and the most knowledgeable with interpreting His-azwj Book than for him-asws to violate upon Rasool-Allah-saww of his-saww veil, because Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Says: O you those who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless there is permission for you [33:53].
وَ قَدْ أَدْخَلْتِ أَنْتِ بَيْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص الرِّجَالَ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْواتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِ وَ لَعَمْرِي لَقَدْ ضَرَبْتِ أَنْتِ لِأَبِيكِ وَ فَارُوقِهِ عِنْدَ أُذُنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص الْمَعَاوِلَ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَغُضُّونَ أَصْواتَهُمْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ امْتَحَنَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوى
And you have entered men into the house of Rasool-Allah-saww without his-saww permission, and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: O you those who believe! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet, [49:2]! And by my-asws life! You and your father (Abu Bakr) and his Farouq (Umar) had struck a pickaxe near to the ears of Rasool-Allah-saww, and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: Surely those who are lowering their voices in the presence of Rasool-Allah, they are those whose hearts Allah has Tested for piety. [49:3].

And by my-asws life! Your father (Abu Bakr) and his Farouq (Umar), due to their being buried nearby, is harming to Rasool-Allah-azwj, and they never respected his-saww rights whatever Allah-azwj had Commanded them both with, upon the tongue of Rasool-Allah-saww, that Allah-azwj has Prohibited the dead Momineen from the same as what Allah-azwj has Prohibited from those living from them!
وَ تَاللَّهِ يَا عَائِشَةُ لَوْ كَانَ هَذَا الَّذِي كَرِهْتِيهِ مِنْ دَفْنِ الْحَسَنِ عِنْدَ أَبِيهِ ع جَائِزاً فِيمَا بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ لَعَلِمْتِ أَنَّهُ سَيُدْفَنُ وَ إِنْ رَغِمَ مَعْطِسُكِ.
And I-asws swear by Allah-azwj, O Ayesha! If it was such that this which you are disliking, from the burial of Al-Hassan-asws by his-asws (grand) father Rasool-Allah-saww, was allowed, in what is between us-asws and Allah-azwj, you would have known that he-asws would be buried, and even if it would rub your nose (break your pride)!’’[64]
أقول: هذا الخبر يدل على أنه ينبغي أن يراعى في روضاتهم ما كان ينبغي أن يراعى في حياتهم من الآداب و التعظيم و الإكرام.
I say, ‘This narration indicates that the same etiquettes, respect, and reverence that should have been observed during their lifetime must also be observed at their sacred Shrines’.

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Isnaad’ – Ibn Sa’ad, from Al Azdy who said,
‘We went out from Al-Medina intending the house of Abu Abdullah-asws. We met Abu Baseer coming out from an alleyway from the alleyways of Al-Medina and he was in need of a major ceremonial bath[65] and there was no knowledge for us until we entered to see Abu Abdullah-asws. We greeted unto him-asws. He-asws raised his-asws head towards Abu Baseer. He-asws said to him: ‘O Abu Baseer! Don’t you know that it is not befitting for the one in need of a major ceremonial bath to enter houses of the Prophets-as?’ Abu Baseer returned and we entered’’.[66]
3- ع، علل الشرائع أَبِي عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَا تَشْرَبْ وَ أَنْتَ قَائِمٌ وَ لَا تَطُفْ بِقَبْرٍ وَ لَا تَبُلْ فِي مَاءٍ نَقِيعٍ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَأَصَابَهُ شَيْءٌ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ وَ مَنْ فَعَلَ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُفَارِقُهُ إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ.
(The book) ‘Ilal Al Sharaie’ – My father, from Sa’ad, from Ibn Isa, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hamad, from Al Halby,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Neither drink while you are standing, nor perform Tawaaf of a grave, nor urinate in stagnant water! One who does that, so something afflicts him, he should not blame except himself, and the one who does something from that, it will not separate from him except what Allah-azwj so Desires!’’[67]
بيان: يحتمل أن يكون النهي عن الطواف بالعدد المخصوص الذي يطاف بالبيت.و سيأتي في بعض الزيارات إلا أن نطوف حول مشاهدكم و في بعض الروايات قبل جوانب القبر.
Explanation – It is possible that the prohibition is about the specific number of times one should perform the Tawaaf specific with Tawaaf of the House (Kabah). This will be mentioned in some of the visitations (Ziyaraat), although it may refer to doing Tawaaf around your shrines (graves), and in some narrations, it refers to the sides of the grave.
4– وَ رَوَى الْكُلَيْنِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى وَ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ طَيِّبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ أَكْثَمَ قَاضِيَ سَامَرَّاءَ بَعْدَ مَا جَهَدْتُ بِهِ وَ نَاظَرْتُهُ وَ حَاوَرْتُهُ وَ وَاصَلْتُهُ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ عُلُومِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ بَيْنَا أَنَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ دَخَلْتُ أَطُوفُ بِقَبْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَرَأَيْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ الرِّضَا ع يَطُوفُ بِهِ فَنَاظَرْتُهُ فِي مَسَائِلَ عِنْدِي فَأَخْرَجَهَا إِلَيَّ الْخَبَرَ.
And it is reported by Al Kulayni, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, and Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from Ahmad Bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Tayyib, from Abdul Wahaab Bin Mansour, from Muhammad Bin Abu Al A’ala who said,
‘I heard Yahya Bin Aksam, judge of Samarra, after I had exerted myself with him, debated with him, conversed with him, and asked him about the knowledge of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww.
He said, ‘One day, while I was entering to perform the Tawaaf around the grave of Rasool-Allah-saww, I saw Muhammad-asws Ibn Ali Al-Reza-asws performing Tawaaf of it. I then conversed with him-asws on certain issues I had, and he-asws brought me the answer’’.[68]
5- أَنَّهُ رَوَى الْكُلَيْنِيُّ بِسَنَدٍ صَحِيحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَنْ تَخَلَّى عِنْدَ قَبْرٍ أَوْ بَالَ قَائِماً أَوْ بَالَ فِي مَاءٍ قَائِمٍ أَوْ مَشَى فِي حِذَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ أَوْ شَرِبَ قَائِماً أَوْ خَلَّى فِي بَيْتٍ وَحْدَهُ أَوْ بَاتَ عَلَى غَمَرٍ فَأَصَابَهُ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ لَمْ يَدَعْهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ وَ أَسْرَعُ مَا يَكُونُ الشَّيْطَانُ إِلَى الْإِنْسَانِ وَ هُوَ عَلَى بَعْضِ هَذِهِ الْحَالاتِ.
It is reported by Al Kulayni by a correct chain, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘One who defecates by a grave or urinates standing, or urinates in still water, or walks in one shoe, or drinks standing, or secludes along in a house, or spends a night upon an empty stomach, so something from the Satan-la afflicts him, it will not leave him except if Allah-azwj so Desires, and the quickest of what the Satan-la can be to the human is while he is upon one of these states’’.[69]
6- مَعَ أَنَّهُ رُوِيَ أَيْضاً بِسَنَدٍ آخَرَ فِيهِ ضَعْفٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ رَاوِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَا تَشْرَبْ وَ أَنْتَ قَائِمٌ وَ لَا تَبُلْ فِي مَاءٍ نَقِيعٍ وَ لَا تَطُفْ بِقَبْرٍ وَ لَا تَخْلُ فِي بَيْتٍ وَحْدَكَ وَ لَا تَمْشِ بِنَعْلٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ أَسْرَعُ مَا يَكُونُ إِلَى الْعَبْدِ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَى بَعْضِ هَذِهِ الْحَالاتِ
It has been reported also by another chain having weakness in it, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,
He reported this Hadeeth from one of the two (5th or 6th Imam-asws) having said: ‘Neither drink while you are standing, nor urinate in stagnant water, nor perform Tawaaf of a grave, nor be in a house alone, nor walk with one slipper, for the Satan-la is quickest as can be to the servant when he was upon one of these states!’
وَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ مَا أَصَابَ أَحَداً شَيْءٌ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْحَالِ فَكَادَ أَنْ يُفَارِقَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ.
And he-asws said: ‘Whatever something afflicts anyone being upon this state, it will almost not separate except if Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic so Desires!’’[70]
7- ع، علل الشرائع ابْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ الصَّلَاةُ بَيْنَ الْقُبُورِ
(The book) ‘Ilal Al Sharaie’ – Ibn Al Mutawakkil, from Ali, from his father, from Hammad, from Hareez, from Zurarah,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘The Salat prayed between the graves’.
قَالَ صَلِّ بَيْنَ خِلَالِهَا وَ لَا تَتَّخِذْ شَيْئاً مِنْهَا قِبْلَةً فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص نَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَ قَالَ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا قَبْرِي قِبْلَةً وَ لَا مَسْجِداً فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَعَنَ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ.
He-asws said: ‘Pray between its vacant spaces and do not take anything from these as a Qiblah, for Rasool-Allah-saww prohibited from that and said: ‘Do not be taking my-saww grave as a Qiblah nor as a Masjid. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Cursed those who are taking graves of their Prophets-as as Masjids’’.[71]
8- ج، الإحتجاج كَتَبَ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ إِلَى النَّاحِيَةِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ يَسْأَلُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَزُورُ قُبُورَ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع هَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ أَمْ لَا وَ هَلْ يَجُوزُ لِمَنْ صَلَّى عِنْدَ بَعْضِ قُبُورِهِمْ ع أَنْ يَقُومَ وَرَاءَ الْقَبْرِ وَ يَجْعَلَ الْقَبْرَ قِبْلَةً أَمْ يَقُومُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ أَوْ رِجْلَيْهِ وَ هَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ الْقَبْرَ وَ يُصَلِّيَ وَ يَجْعَلَ الْقَبْرَ خَلْفَهُ أَمْ لَا
(The book) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ –
‘Al Himeyri wrote to the Holy Area asking about the man who visits the graves of the Imams-asws, ‘It is allowed if he does Sajdah upon the grave or not, and it is allowed for the one who prays Salat by their-asws graves that he stands being the grave and makes the graves as Qiblah, or stand by his-asws head, or by his-asws legs, and it is allowed that he goes in front of the grave and prays Salat and make the grave behind him, or not?’
فَأَجَابَ ع أَمَّا السُّجُودُ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ فَلَا يَجُوزُ فِي نَافِلَةٍ وَ لَا فَرِيضَةٍ وَ لَا زِيَارَةٍ وَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ الْعَمَلُ أَنْ يَضَعَ خَدَّهُ الْأَيْمَنَ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ أَمَّا الصَّلَاةُ فَإِنَّهَا خَلْفَهُ وَ يَجْعَلُ الْقَبْرَ أَمَامَهُ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ لَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ لَا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ لِأَنَّ الْإِمَامَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ لَا يُتَقَدَّمُ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا يُسَاوَى.
He-ajfj answered: ‘As for the Sajdah upon the grave, it is not allowed, neither regarding an optional nor Prescribed, nor a Ziaarat, and that which is upon him to do is that he should place his right cheek upon the grave; and as for the Salat, it is behind it and he should make the grave to be in front of him, and it is not allowed to pray in front of it, nor on its right, nor on its left because the Imam-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him, no one can precede upon him-asws nor equate!’’[72]
بيان: يمكن حمل الخبر السابق على التقية أو على أنه لا يجوز أن يجعل قبورهم بمنزلة الكعبة قبلة يتوجه إليها من كل جانب و من الأصحاب من حمل الخبر الأول على الصلاة جماعة و الخبر الثاني على الصلاة فرادى و سيأتي الأخبار المؤيدة للخبر الثاني في أبواب الزيارات.
Explanation: The previous narration could be interpreted as being due to Taqiyyah (dissimulation) or that it is not allowed to treat their graves as the Kaaba, a Qiblah to which one faces from every direction. Some of the companions have interpreted the first narration as referring to congregational Salat and the second as referring to individual Salat. The narrations that support the second narration will be mentioned in the chapters on visitations.

‘He should say in laudation of ritual bathing for the visitation what is mentioned by Ibn Ayyash in ‘Kitab Al-Aghsaal’, ‘O Allah-azwj! Cleanse me from every sin and rescue me from every distress, and Humble for me every difficulty, You-azwj are the Best Master and the Best Lord‑azwj, Lord-azwj of every dry and wet!’
وَ تَقُولُ أَيْضاً مَا رُوِيَ فِي غُسْلِ الزِّيَارَةِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ لِي نُوراً وَ طَهُوراً وَ حِرْزاً وَ شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ وَ آفَةٍ وَ عَاهَةٍ اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ اشْرَحْ بِهِ صَدْرِي وَ سَهِّلْ بِهِ أَمْرِي.
And you should say also what is reported regarding the ritual bathing of the Ziyarat, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, and by Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! Make it a Noor for me and a cleansing, and a protection, and healing from every illness, and calamity and disability! O Allah-azwj! Clean my heart by it, and Expand my chest with it, and Ease my affairs with it!’’[73]

‘It is reported from Al-Sadiq-asws, he-asws said: ‘One who visits me-asws, his sins will be Forgiven for him, and he will not die poor!’’[128]
35- يب، تهذيب الأحكام رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنِ الْعَسْكَرِيِّ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ زَارَ جَعْفَراً وَ أَبَاهُ لَمْ يَشْكُ عَيْنَهُ وَ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ سُقْمٌ وَ لَمْ يَمُتْ مُبْتَلًى.
(The book) ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkaam’ –
It has been reported from Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Al-Askari-asws, he-asws said: ‘One who visits Ja’far-asws and his-asws father-asws will not have complaint of his eye, and a sickness will not afflict him, and he will not die in distress’’.[129]
36- مل، كامل الزيارات مُحَمَّدٌ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ الْبَصْرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي حَدِيثٍ لَهُ طَوِيلٍ أَنَّهُ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ هَلْ يُزَارُ وَالِدُكَ
(The book) ‘Kamil Al Ziyaraat’ – Muhammad Al Himeyri, from his father, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Salim, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Abdullah Bin Hammad Al Basry, from Abdullah Bin Abdul Rahman Al Asamma, from Hisham Bin Salim,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he-asws said in a lengthy Hadeeth of his-asws, a man had come to him. He said, ‘Should one visit your-asws father-asws?’
فَقَالَ نَعَمْ
He-asws said: ‘Yes’.
قَالَ فَمَا لِمَنْ زَارَهُ
He said, ‘So what is for the one who visits him-asws?’
قَالَ الْجَنَّةُ إِنْ كَانَ يَأْتَمُّ بِهِ
He-asws said: ‘The Paradise, if he was led by him-asws’.
قَالَ فَمَا لِمَنْ تَرَكَهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ
He said, ‘So what is for the one who neglects it turning away from him-asws?’
قَالَ الْحَسْرَةُ يَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ وَ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ.
He-asws said: ‘The regret’ – and he mentioned the Hadeeth with its (full) length’’.[130]
بيان: ظاهر ما أورده من الخبر أنه سأله عن زيارة الباقر ع لكن ابن قولويه ره أورده في باب من ترك زيارة الحسين ع فلذا أوردناه في البابين.
Explanation – Apparently what is referred to from the Hadeeth is that he had asked him-asws about Ziyarat of Al-Baqir-asws, but Ibn Babuwayh referred it in the chapter on one who neglects Ziyarat of Al-Husayn-asws, for that reason we have referred it in the chapters.
37- كِتَابُ الْفُصُولِ، لِلسَّيِّدِ الْمُرْتَضَى نَقْلًا عَنْ شَيْخِهِ الْمُفِيدِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِلْحَسَنِ مَنْ زَارَكَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِكَ أَوْ زَارَ أَبَاكَ أَوْ زَارَ أَخَاكَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ
(The book) ‘Kitab Al Fusoul’ of the Seyyid Al Murtaza, copying from his elder Al Mufeed, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from them both, said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to Al-Hassan-asws: ‘One who visits you-asws after your-asws expiry, or visits your-asws father-asws, or visits your-asws brother-asws, for him is the Paradise’.
وَ قَالَ لَهُ ع فِي حَدِيثٍ لَهُ أَوَّلٍ مَشْرُوحٍ فِي غَيْرِ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ تَزُورُكَ طَائِفَةٌ يُرِيدُونَ بِهِ بِرِّي وَ صِلَتِي فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ زُرْتُهَا فِي الْمَوْقِفِ فَأَخَذْتُ بِأَعْضَادِهَا فَأَنْجَيْتُهَا مِنْ أَهْوَالِهِ وَ شَدَائِدِهِ.
And he-saww said to him in a Hadeeth of his-saww, the beginning is explained in other than this book: ‘A group will be visiting you-asws intending to be righteous with me-saww and connecting with me-saww. So, when it will be the Day of Qiyamah, I-saww shall visit it (this group) during the pausing and grab hold of their arms and Rescue it from its horrors and its hardships’’.[131]

I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! So what is a boundary of the garden?’

قُلْتُ لَهُ بُيُوتُ النَّبِيِّ ص- وَ بَيْتُ عَلِيٍّ مِنْهَا
Jameel (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘The houses of the Prophet-saww, and is the house of Ali-asws from these?’

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Ali, from his father, from Hammad, from Al Halby,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When you enter the Masjid, if you are able to stay for three days, the Wednesday, and the Thursday, and the Friday, pray Salat what is between the grave and the pulpit on the day of Wednesday by the pillars which follow the grave. Supplicate to Allah-azwj by these and ask Him-azwj for every need you want regarding the Hereafter or the world.

And on the second day, by the pillars is the repentance, and on the day of Friday, by the standing place of the Prophet-saww facing the pillars with a lot of perfume, supplicate to Allah-azwj by these for every need, and fast those three days’’.[137]

And on night of Friday and the day of Friday by the pillars which follow the standing place of the Prophet-saww and supplicate with this supplication for your needs, and it is – ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Might, and Your-azwj Strength, and Your-azwj Power, and entirety of what Your-azwj Knowledge contains, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Do such and such with me!’’[138]

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Come to the standing place of Jibraeel-as, and it is beneath the spout. It was his-as standing place when he-as sought permission to (speak to) Rasool-Allah-saww, and say, ‘O Generous! O Benevolent! O Near) O Far! I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household, and I ask You-azwj to Return Your-azwj bounties to me!’’

He-asws said: ‘And that is a place no menstruating one supplicates in it facing the Qiblah, then supplicates with ‘Dua Al Damm’, except she will see the cleanliness, if Allah-azwj so Desires’’.[139]
9- يه، من لا يحضره الفقيه ثُمَّ ائْتِ مَقَامَ جَبْرَئِيلَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ ذَلِكَ مَقَامٌ لَا تَدْعُو فِيهِ حَائِضٌ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ إِلَّا رَأَتِ الطُّهْرَ
(The book) ‘Man La Yahzar Al Faqeeh’ –
‘Then come to the standing place of Jibraeel-as’ – up to his-asws words – ‘And that is the standing pace where no menstruating one will supplicate in it facing the Qiblah except she will see the cleanliness.
ثُمَّ تَدْعُو بِدُعَاءِ الدَّمِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ أَوْ تَسَمَّيْتَ بِهِ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوْ هُوَ مَأْثُورٌ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ
Then she should supplicate with ‘Dua Al-Damm’ – ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj with every Name which is Yours-azwj, or You-azwj have been Named it for anyone of Your-azwj creatures, or it is preferable in knowledge of the unseen with You-azwj!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَعْظَمِ وَ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ أَنْزَلْتَهُ عَلَى مُوسَى وَ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ أَنْزَلْتَهُ عَلَى عِيسَى وَ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ أَنْزَلْتَهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ عَلَى أَنْبِيَاءِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا فَعَلْتَ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا

وَ الْحَائِضُ تَقُولُ إِلَّا أَذْهَبْتَ عَنِّي هَذَا الدَّمَ.
And the menstruating one should say, ‘Please Remove this blood away from me!’’[140]
بيان: المراد بالحائض المستحاضة التي لا ينقطع عنها الدم.
Explanation – The intended with the ‘menstruating one’ is the one with post-childbirth bleeding which the blood does not terminate from her.
(The book) ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkaam’ – Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Muawiya Bin Ammar,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘Ibn Abu Yafour asked him-asws, ‘How much should I pray?’
10- يب، تهذيب الأحكام الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سَأَلَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ كَمْ أُصَلِّي فَقَالَ صَلِّ ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ الصَّلَاةُ فِي مَسْجِدِي كَأَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ فِي غَيْرِهِ إِلَّا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ فَإِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ تَعْدِلُ أَلْفَ صَلَاةٍ فِي مَسْجِدِي.
He-asws said: ‘Eight units at midday, for Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The Salat in my-saww Masjid is like a thousand Salats elsewhere except the Sacred Masjid, for the Salat in the Sacred Masjid equates to a thousand Salats in my-saww Masjid’’.[141]
بيان: المراد بالثمان إما نافلة الزوال أو نافلة أخرى لسقوط نافلة الزوال عنه لكونه مسافرا إلا أن يقال لكونه من مواضع التخيير لا يسقط فيه النافلة و يحتمل أن يكون المراد أنه يصلي الظهرين تماما لا يقصر فيهما لأن الأفضل في ذلك الموضع التمام و إنما يصليهما في أول الزوال لسقوط النافلة في السفر إن قلنا بسقوطها في هذا الموضع و قد مر الكلام فيه و سيأتي أيضا.
Explanation: The reference to the ‘eight’ is either the voluntary Salat of noon or another voluntary Salat, as the voluntary Salat of noon is waived for him due to being a traveller. However, it could be said that because this is one of the places of choice, the voluntary Salat is not waived. It is also possible that it means he prays both the noon and afternoon Salats in full, without shortening them, because the preferable action at that location is to pray in full. He prays them at the beginning of noon, as the voluntary Salat is waived during travel, if we say it is waived in this location, as has been discussed earlier and will also be addressed later.
11- يب، تهذيب الأحكام الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ مُرَازِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الصَّلَاةُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ الْقِيَامُ عِنْدَ الْأَسَاطِينِ لَيْسَ بِمَفْرُوضٍ وَ لَكِنْ مَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَصُمْ فَإِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَهُ إِنَّمَا الْمَفْرُوضُ صَلَاةُ الْخَمْسِ وَ صِيَامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَأَكْثِرُوا الصَّلَاةَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ فَإِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ
(The book) ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkaam’ – Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Murazim who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The Salat prayed at Al-Medina and the standing (for the Salat) by the pillars isn’t from the obligations, but the one who so desires, let him fast, for it would be better for him. But rather, the obligatory are the five Salats and fasting the month of Ramazan, therefore frequent the Salat in this Masjid as much as you are capable for it would be better for you!
وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ قَدْ يَكُونُ كَيِّساً فِي أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا فَيُقَالُ مَا أَكْيَسَ فُلَاناً فَكَيْفَ مَنْ كَاسَ فِي أَمْرِ آخِرَتِهِ.
And know that the man happens to be clever in matters of the world, so it is said, ‘How clever is so and so!’ So how is the one who is clever in matters of his Hereafter?’’[142]

‘I saw Abu Al-Hassan-asws, and he-asws wanted for bid farewell for the going out to the Umrah. He-asws came to the grave from the place of the head of Rasool-Allah-saww, after Al-Maghrib. He-asws greeted unto the Prophet-saww and adhered with the grave.
ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ حَتَّى أَتَى الْقَبْرَ فَقَامَ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ يُصَلِّي وَ أَلْزَقَ مَنْكِبَهُ الْأَيْسَرَ بِالْقَبْرِ قَرِيباً مِنَ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ الَّتِي دُونَ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ الْمُخَلَّقَةِ الَّتِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِ النَّبِيِّ ص فَصَلَّى سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ أَوْ ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي نَعْلَيْهِ
Then he-asws left until he-asws came to the grave. He-asws stood to its side and prays Salat, and adhered his-asws left shoulder with the grave, nearby the pillar which is other than the perfumed pillar which is by the head of the Prophet-saww. He-asws prayed six units Salat or eight units in his-asws slippers’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘A measurement of his-asws Ruk’u and his-asws Sajdah was of three glorification or more. When he-asws was free, he-asws performed a Sajdah, prolonging the Sajdah in it until his-asws sweat wetted the pebbles’.

Then enter the front of your right leg while you are saying, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, and by Allah-azwj, and in the Way of Rasool-Allah-saww, and upon the religion of Rasool-Allah-saww! ‘Lord! Cause me to enter a correct entrance, and Cause me to go exit a correct exit, and Make for me from Yourself a (Divine) Authority, a persistent helper [17:80]!’ Then exclaim Takbeer of Allah-azwj the Exalted one hundred times.

And the Seyyid said after that, ‘When he enters, let him pray two units Salat in salutation to the Masjid. Then he should walk to the chamber. When he arrives at it, he should touch it and kiss it, and say, ‘The greeting he upon you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww! The greeting be upon you-saww, O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-saww O Muhammad Bin Abdullah-saww! The greeting be upon you-saww, O last of the Prophets-as!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ الرِّسَالَةَ وَ أَقَمْتَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ آتَيْتَ الزَّكَاةَ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ عَبَدْتَ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصاً حَتَّى أَتَاكَ الْيَقِينُ فَصَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَتُهُ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ-
I testify you-saww have delivered the Message and established the Salat and gave the Zakat, and instructed with the good and forbade form the evil, and worshipped Allah-azwj sincerely until the certainty (death) came to you-saww! May the Salawaat be upon you-saww and His-azwj Mercy, and upon People-asws of your-saww Household, the Pure!’
ثُمَّ قَالُوا وَ قِفْ عِنْدَ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ مِنْ جَانِبِ الْقَبْرِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ أَنْتَ مُسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةِ وَ مَنْكِبُكَ الْأَيْسَرُ إِلَى جَانِبِ الْقَبْرِ وَ مَنْكِبُكَ الْأَيْمَنُ مِمَّا يَلِي الْمِنْبَرَ فَإِنَّهُ مَوْضِعُ رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ قُلْ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ ص وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّكَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ-
Then they said, ‘And pause at the pillar from the right side of the grave and you are facing the Qiblah, and your left shoulder should be to a side of the grave and your right shoulder from what follows the pulpit, for it is a place of the head of Rasool-Allah-saww and say, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him, and I testify that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and I testify you-saww are a Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, and you-saww are Muhammad-saww Bin Abdullah-as!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالاتِ رَبِّكَ وَ نَصَحْتَ لِأُمَّتِكَ وَ جَاهَدْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ دَاعِياً إِلَى طَاعَتِهِ زَاجِراً عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِهِ وَ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَزَلْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفاً رَحِيماً وَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ غَلِيظاً حَتَّى أَتَاكَ الْيَقِينُ فَبَلَغَ اللَّهُ بِكَ أَشْرَفَ مَحَلِّ الْمُكْرَمِينَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي اسْتَنْقَذَنَا بِكَ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ وَ الضَّلَالِ
And I testify you-saww have delivered Messages of your-saww Lord-azwj, and advised your-saww community, and fought in the Way of Allah-azwj as is right of its fight, a caller to obey Him-azwj, a rebuker from disobeying Him-azwj, and you-saww did not cease to be kind with the Momineen, and harsh upon the Kafirs until the certainty (death) came to you-saww. May Allah-azwj Reach with you-saww the place of the honoured ones! The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Saved us through you-saww from the Shirk and the straying!
اللَّهُمَّ فَاجْعَلْ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ صَلَوَاتِ مَلَائِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ مِمَّنْ سَبَّحَ لَكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ نَبِيِّكَ وَ أَمِينِكَ وَ نَجِيِّكَ وَ حَبِيبِكَ وَ خَاصَّتِكَ وَ صَفْوَتِكَ وَ خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Make Your-azwj Salawaat and Salawaat of Your-azwj Angels of Proximity, and Your-azwj righteous servant, and Your-azwj Messenger Prophets-as, and inhabitants of the skies and the earths, from the ones glorifying to You-azwj, O Lord-azwj of the worlds from the former ones and the later ones, upon Muhammad-saww Your-azwj servant, and Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and Your-azwj Trustee, and Your-azwj Captain, and Your-azwj Beloved, and Your-azwj special ones, and Your-azwj Elite, and Your-azwj Choice from Your-azwj creatures!
اللَّهُمَّ ابْعَثْهُ مَقَاماً مَحْمُوداً يَغْبِطُهُ بِهِ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ الْآخِرُونَ
O Allah-azwj! Resurrect him-saww on the Praise-worthy Position to be envied by the former ones and the latter ones!
اللَّهُمَّ امْنَحْهُ أَشْرَفَ مَرْتَبَةٍ وَ ارْفَعْهُ إِلَى أَسْنَى دَرَجَةٍ وَ مَنْزِلَةٍ وَ أَعْطِهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ وَ الرُّتْبَةَ الْعَالِيَةَ الْجَلِيلَةَ كَمَا بَلَغَ نَاصِحاً وَ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِكَ وَ صَبَرَ عَلَى الْأَذَى فِي جَنْبِكَ وَ أَوْضَحَ دِينَكَ وَ أَقَامَ حُجَجَكَ وَ هَدَى إِلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَ أَرْشَدَ إِلَى مَرْضَاتِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Grant him-saww the noblest of ranks, and Raise him-saww to the highest rank and status, and Give him-saww the mediation, and the exalted majestic rank, just as he-saww delivered good advice, and fought in Your-azwj Way, and patience upon the harm for Your-azwj Side (Sake), and clarified Your-azwj religion, and established Your-azwj Argument, and guided to obey You-azwj, and directed to Your-azwj Pleasure!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى الْأَئِمَّةِ الْأَبْرَارِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ الْأَخْيَارِ مِنْ عِتْرَتِهِ وَ سَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ تَسْلِيماً
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon him-as and upon the righteous Imams-asws from his-saww offspring, the best from his-saww family, and Greetings upon them-asws all abundantly!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَا أَجِدُ سَبِيلًا إِلَيْكَ سِوَاهُمْ وَ لَا أَرَى شَفِيعاً مَقْبُولَ الشَّفَاعَةِ عِنْدَكَ غَيْرَهُمْ بِهِمْ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ وَ بِوَلَايَتِهِمْ أَرْجُو جَنَّتَكَ وَ بِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمْ آمُلُ الْخَلَاصَ مِنْ عَذَابِكَ
O Allah-azwj! I cannot find a way to You-azwj other than through them-asws, nor can I see any intercessor of Accepted intercession in Your-azwj Presence apart from them-saww! Through them-asws I draw closer to Your-azwj Mercy and with their-asws Wilayah, I hope for Your-azwj Paradise, and with the disavowing from their-asws enemies wishing to be rescued from Your-azwj Punishment!
اللَّهُمَّ فَاجْعَلْنِي بِهِمْ وَجِيهاً فِي الدُّنْيا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ ارْحَمْنِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-
O Allah-azwj Make me through them-asws, worthy of regard in the world and the Hereafter and from those of Proximity [3:45], and Mercy me, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
وَ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ تَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ تَقُولُ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي اجْتَبَاكَ وَ هَدَاكَ وَ هَدَى بِكَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ-
And the Seyyid, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, said, ‘Then turn towards the grave and say, ‘I ask Allah-azwj Who Selected you-saww, and Guided through you-saww, to Send Salawaat upon you-saww and upon People-asws of your-saww Household, the Pure!’
ثُمَّ تُلْصِقُ كَفَّكَ بِحَائِطِ الْحُجْرَةِ وَ تَقُولُ أَتَيْتُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مُهَاجِراً إِلَيْكَ قَاضِياً لِمَا أَوْجَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ مِنْ قَصْدِكَ وَ إِذْ لَمْ أَلْحَقْكَ حَيّاً فَقَدْ قَصَدْتُكَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِكَ عَالِماً أَنَّ حُرْمَتَكَ مَيِّتاً كَحُرْمَتِكَ حَيّاً فَكُنْ لِي بِذَلِكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ شَاهِداً
Then adhere your palm with a wall of the chamber and say, ‘I have come to you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww, emigrating to you-saww, fulfilling to what Allah-azwj has Obligated upon me of aiming for You-azwj. When I could not meet you-saww when alive, so I have aimed for you-saww after your-saww expiry knowing that your-saww sanctity when expired is like your-saww sanctity when alive, so be a witness for me with that in the Presence of Allah-azwj!’
ثُمَّ امْسَحْ كَفَّكَ عَلَى وَجْهِكَ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ بَيْعَةً مَرْضِيَّةً لَدَيْكَ وَ عَهْداً مُؤَكَّداً عِنْدَكَ تُحْيِينِي مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى الْوَفَاءِ بِشَرَائِطِهِ وَ حُدُودِهِ وَ حُقُوقِهِ وَ أَحْكَامِهِ وَ تُمِيتُنِي إِذَا أَمَتَّنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ تَبْعَثُنِي إِذَا بَعَثْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ-
Then wipe your palm upon your face and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Make that as a satisfactory allegiance with You-azwj and a solemn pact in Your-azwj Presence Causing me to live for as long as You-azwj Cause me to live, being upon it, and upon the loyalty with its conditions and its limits, and its rights, and its rulings, and Cause me to die when You-azwj Cause me to die upon it, and Resurrect me when You-azwj do Resurrect me, upon it!’
انْتَهَى مَا تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ السَّيِّدُ ثُمَّ قَالُوا ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبِلْ وَجْهَ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ اجْعَلِ الْقِبْلَةَ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِكَ وَ الْقَبْرَ أَمَامَكَ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا صَفْوَةَ اللَّهِ وَ خِيَرَتَهُ مِنْخَلْقِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِينَ اللَّهِ وَ حُجَّتَهُ
End of what the Seyyid particularised with. Then they said, ‘Then face the face of the Prophet-saww and make the Qiblah behind your back and the grave in front of you, and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-saww O Prophet-azwj of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww! The greeting be upon you-saww O Elite of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Choice from His-azwj creatures! The greeting be upon you-saww O Trustee of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Divine Authority!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا خَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ سَيِّدَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْبَشِيرُ النَّذِيرُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الدَّاعِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ السِّرَاجُ الْمُنِيرُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ الَّذِينَ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ طَهَّرَهُمْ تَطْهِيراً
The greeting be upon you-saww, O Last of the Prophets-as, and Chief of the Messengers-as! The greeting be upon you-saww O you-saww giver of glad tidings, the warner! The greeting be upon you-saww, O caller to Allah-azwj and the radiant lamp! The greeting be upon you-saww and upon People-asws of your-saww Household, those Allah-azwj Kept the uncleanness away from them and Purified them-asws a purification!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَيْتَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ قُلْتَ بِالصِّدْقِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي وَفَّقَنِي لِلْإِيمَانِ وَ التَّصْدِيقِ وَ مَنَّ عَلَيَّ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ اتِّبَاعِ سَبِيلِكَ وَ جَعَلَنِي مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ وَ الْمُجِيبِينَ لِدَعْوَتِكِ وَ هَدَانِي إِلَى مَعْرِفَتِكَ وَ مَعْرِفَةِ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ
I testify for you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww! I have come to you-saww with the truth and have spoken with the truthfulness! The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Harmonised me to the Eman and the ratification, and Conferred upon me with obeying You-azwj and following Your-azwj Way, and Make me from your-saww community and the responders to your-saww call, and being guided to your-saww recognition and recognising the Imams-asws from your-saww offspring!
أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِمَا يُرْضِيكَ وَ أَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِمَّا يُسْخِطُكَ مُوَالِياً لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ مُعَادِياً لِأَعْدَائِكَ جِئْتُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زَائِراً وَ قَصَدْتُكَ رَاغِباً مُتَوَسِّلًا إِلَى اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ أَنْتَ صَاحِبُ الْوَسِيلَةِ وَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ الْجَلِيلَةِ وَ الشَّفَاعَةِ الْمَقْبُولَةِ وَ الدَّعْوَةِ الْمَسْمُوعَةِ
I draw closer to Allah-azwj with what pleases you-saww, and disavow to Allah-azwj from what angers you-saww, a friend to your-saww friends, an enemy to your-saww enemies! I have come to you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww as a visitor and have aimed to you-saww desirous, seeking mediation to Allah-azwj! Glorious is He-azwj, and you-saww are the owner of mediation and the majestic status, and the Accepted intercession, and the Heard supplication!
فَاشْفَعْ لِي إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فِي الْغُفْرَانِ وَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ التَّوْفِيقِ وَ الْعِصْمَةِ فَقَدْ غَمَرَتِ الذُّنُوبُ وَ شَمِلَتِ الْعُيُوبُ وَ أَثْقَلَ الظَّهْرُ وَ تَضَاعَفَ الْوِزْرُ وَ قَدْ أَخْبَرْتَنَا وَ خَبَرُكَ الصِّدْقُ إِنَّهُ تَعَالَى قَالَ وَ قَوْلُهُ الْحَقُ وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ جاؤُكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَحِيماً
Intercede for me to Allah-azwj the Exalted in the Forgiveness, and the Mercy, and the Inclination, and the Protection, for the sins have immersed me and the faults have included me, and the back is heavy, and the burden has doubled, and you-saww had informed us and your-saww news is true that the Exalted Said, and His-azwj Word is the Truth: and had they, when they were unjust to themselves, come to you and sought Forgiveness of Allah and the Rasool had (also) sought Forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Oft-turning (to Mercy), Merciful [4:64]!
وَ قَدْ جِئْتُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مُسْتَغْفِراً مِنْ ذُنُوبِي تَائِباً مِنْ مَعَاصِيَّ وَ سَيِّئَاتِي وَ إِنِّي أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّي وَ رَبِّكَ لِيَغْفِرَ لِي ذُنُوبِي فَاشْفَعْ لِي يَا شَفِيعَ الْأُمَّةِ وَ أَجِرْنِي يَا نَبِيَّ الرَّحْمَةِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى آلِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ- وَ تَجْتَهِدُ فِي الْمَسْأَلَةِ
And I have come to you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww, seeking forgiveness from my sins, repenting from my acts of disobedience and my evil deeds, and I divert to Allah-azwj, my Lord-azwj and your-saww Lord-azwj for Him-azwj to Forgive my sins for me, so interceded for me O interceder of the community, and shelter me, O Prophet-saww of Mercy! May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon you-saww and upon your-saww Progeny-asws, the Pure!’ – and make efforts in the asking.
ثُمَّ تَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِوَجْهِكَ وَ أَنْتَ فِي مَوْضِعِكَ وَ تَجْعَلُ الْقَبْرَ مِنْ خَلْفِكَ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ أَلْجَأْتُ أَمْرِي وَ إِلَى قَبْرِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ أَسْنَدْتُ ظَهْرِي وَ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ الَّتِي ارْتَضَيْتَهَا اسْتَقْبَلْتُ بِوَجْهِي
Then face the Qiblah after that with your face while you are in your place, and make the grave behind you, and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj I seek Shelter for my affairs, and to the grave of Your-azwj Prophet-saww and Your-azwj Rasool-saww, I have leaned my back, and to the Qiblah which You-azwj have Selected, I have faced with my face!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي خَيْرَ مَا أَرْجُو وَ لَا أَدْفَعُ عَنْهَا شَرَّ مَا أَحْذَرُ وَ الْأُمُورُ كُلُّهَا بِيَدِكَ فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عِتْرَتِهِ وَ قَبْرِهِ الطَّيِّبِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَ حَرَمِهِ
O Allah-azwj! I do not control for myself goodness of what I hope for, nor can I repel away from it evil of what I am cautious of, and the matter, all of them are in Your-azwj Hand! I ask You-azwj by the right of Muhammad-saww and his-saww family-asws, and his-saww grave, the good, the Blessed, and its sanctity!
أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ- وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ جُرْمِي وَ تَعْصِمَنِي مِنَ الْمَعَاصِي فِي مُسْتَقْبِلِ عُمُرِي وَ تُثْبِتَ عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ قَلْبِي وَ تُوَسِّعَ عَلَيَّ رِزْقِي وَ تُسْبِغَ عَلَيَّ النِّعَمَ وَ تَجْعَلَ قِسْمِي مِنَ الْعَافِيَةِ أَوْفَرَ قِسْمٍ وَ تَحْفَظَنِي فِي أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ تَكْلَأَنِي مِنَ الْأَعْدَاءِ وَ تُحْسِنَ لِي الْعَاقِبَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ مُنْقَلَبِي فِي الْآخِرَةِ
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and to Forgive for me what has passed from my crimes, and Protect me from the acts of disobedience in the future of my life, and to Affirm my heart upon the Eman, and Expand my sustenance upon me, and Make the bounties abundant upon me, and Make my apportionment from the well-being the most plentiful of portions, and Protect me in my family, and my wealth, and my children, and Safeguard me from the enemies, and Make the outcome excellent for me in the world, and my transfer in the Hereafter!
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ لِوَالِدَيَّ وَ لِجَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْأَحْيَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْأَمْوَاتِ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ-
O Allah-azwj! Forgive for me and for my parent, and for entirety of the believing men and the believing women, the living from them and the dead, You-azwj are Able upon all things!’
ثُمَّ اقْرَأْ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ صِرْ إِلَى مَقَامِ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ هُوَ بَيْنَ الْقَبْرِ وَ الْمِنْبَرِ وَ قِفْ عِنْدَ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ الْمُخَلَّقَةِ الَّتِي تَلِي الْمِنْبَرَ وَ اجْعَلْهُ مَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ صَلِّ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَتَمَكَّنْ فَرَكْعَتَيْنِ لِلزِّيَارَةِ
Then read Surah Al Qadr eleven times, then come to the standing place of the Prophet-saww, and it is between the grave and the pulpit, and pause by the perfumed pillar which follows the pulpit, and make it to be in front of you, and prays four units Salat. If it is not possible, then two units for the Ziyarat.
فَإِذَا سَلَّمْتَ مِنْهَا وَ سَبَّحْتَ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا مَقَامُ نَبِيِّكَ وَ خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ جَعَلْتَهُ رَوْضَةً مِنْ رِيَاضِ جَنَّتِكَ وَ شَرَّفْتَهُ عَلَى بِقَاعِ أَرْضِكَ بِرَسُولِكَ وَ فَضَّلْتَهُ بِهِ وَ عَظَّمْتَ حُرْمَتَهُ وَ أَظْهَرْتَ جَلَالَتَهُ وَ أَوْجَبْتَ عَلَى عبادتك [عِبَادِكَ] التَّبَرُّكَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَ الدُّعَاءِ فِيهِ وَ قَدْ أَقَمْتَنِي فِيهِ بِلَا حَوْلٍ وَ لَا قُوَّةٍ كَانَ مِنِّي فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَّا بِرَحْمَتِكَ
When you have performed Salaat from it, and have glorified, say, ‘O Allah-azwj! This is the standing place of Your-azwj Prophet-saww and Your-azwj Choice from Your-azwj creatures! You-azwj have Made it a garden from the Gardens of Paradise and Ennobled it over (rest of the) stops of Your-azwj earth by Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and Merited it by him-saww, and Magnified its sanctity, and Manifested its majesty, and Obligated upon Your-azwj servants to be Blessed with the Salat and the supplication in it, and You-azwj have Made me stand in it without any might nor strength being from me in that, except by Your-azwj Mercy!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ كَمَا أَنَّ حَبِيبَكَ لَا يَتَقَدَّمُهُ فِي الْفَضْلِ خَلِيلُكَ فَاجْعَلِ اسْتِجَابَةَ الدُّعَاءِ فِي مَقَامِ حَبِيبِكَ أَفْضَلَ مَا جَعَلْتَهُ فِي مَقَامِ خَلِيلِكَ
O Allah-azwj, and just as Your-azwj Beloved is not surpassed in virtue by Your-azwj friend, make the acceptance of supplications in the station of Your-azwj Beloved greater than what You-azwj have Granted in the station of Your-azwj friend!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فِي هَذَا الْمَقَامِ الطَّاهِرِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُعِيذَنِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ تَمُنَّ عَلَيَّ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَ تَرْحَمَ مَوْقِفِي وَ تَغْفِرَ زَلَّتِي وَ تُزَكِّيَ عِلْمِي وَ تُوَسِّعَ لِي فِي رِزْقِي وَ تُدِيمَ عَافِيَتِي وَ رُشْدِي وَ تُسْبِغَ نِعْمَتَكَ عَلَيَّ وَ تَحْفَظَنِي فِي أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ تَحْرُسَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ مُتَعَدٍّ عَلَيَّ وَ ظَالِمٍ لِي وَ تُطِيلَ عُمُرِي وَ تُوَفِّقَنِي لِمَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي وَ تَعْصِمَنِي عَمَّا يُسْخِطُكَ عَلَيَّ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj in this standing place, the clean, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad‑saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Refuge me from the hellfire, and Confer upon me with the Paradise, and Mercy my pausing, and Forgive my slips, and Purify my knowledge, and Expand for me in my sustenance, and Make my well-being constant, and Guide me, and Make my bounties plentiful upon me, and Protect me regarding my family, and my wealth, and Guard me from every one aggressing upon me, and an oppressor to me, and Prolong my life, and Cause me to die for what Pleases You-azwj with me, and Protect me from what will Anger You-azwj upon me!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ بِنَبِيِّكَ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ حُجَجِكَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ وَ آيَاتِكَ فِي أَرْضِكَ أَنْ تَسْتَجِيبَ لِي دُعَائِي وَ تُبَلِّغَنِي فِي الدِّينِ وَ الدُّنْيَا أَمَلِي وَ رَجَائِي
O Allah-azwj! I seek means to You-azwj through Your-azwj Prophet-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household, Your-azwj Divine Authorities upon Your-azwj creatures and Your-azwj Signs in Your-azwj earth, to Answer my supplication for me, and Make me reach my wishes and my hopes in the world!
يَا سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُكَ فَلَا تُخَيِّبْنِي وَ رَجَوْتُ فَضْلَكَ فَلَا تَحْرِمْنِي فَأَنَا الْفَقِيرُ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ لِي غَيْرُ إِحْسَانِكَ وَ تَفَضُّلِكَ
O my Chief and my Master! I have requested You-azwj so do not disappoint me, and I have hoped for Your-azwj Grace so do not Deprive me, for I am needy to Your-azwj Mercy which isn’t for me without Your-azwj Favour and Your-azwj Grave!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُحَرِّمَ شَعْرِي وَ بَشَرِي عَلَى النَّارِ وَ تُؤْتِيَنِي مِنَ الْخَيْرِ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَ مَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ وَ ادْفَعْ عَنِّي وَ عَنْ وُلْدِي وَ إِخْوَانِي وَ أَخَوَاتِي مِنَ الشَّرِّ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَ مَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ
I ask You-azwj to Prohibit my hair and my skin unto the Hellfire, and Give me from the goodness what I know of and what I don’t know, and Repel evil from me and from my children, and my brothers and my sisters, what I know of and what I don’t know!
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ لِوَالِدَيَّ وَ لِجَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ-
O Allah-azwj! Forgive for me and for my parents, and for entirety of the believing men and the believing women, You-azwj are Able upon all things!’
ثُمَّ ائْتِ الْمِنْبَرَ فَامْسَحْهُ بِيَدِكَ وَ خُذْ بِرُمَّانَتَيْهِ وَ هُمَا السُّفْلَاوَانِ وَ امْسَحْ بِهِمَا عَيْنَيْكَ وَ وَجْهَكَ وَ قُلْ عِنْدَهُ كَلِمَاتِ الْفَرَجِ وَ قُلْ بَعْدَهَا أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ
Then come to the pulpit and wipe it with your hand and hold its two knobs, and there are the lower ones, and wipe your eyes with these and your face, and sat during it the words of relief, and say after it, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is not associate for him!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَقَدَ بِكَ عِزَّ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ جَعَلَكَ مُرْتَقَى خَيْرِ الْأَنَامِ وَ مَصْعَدَ الدَّاعِي إِلَى دَارِ السَّلَامِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَفَضَ بِانْتِصَابِكَ عُلُوَّ الْكُفْرِ وَ سُمُوَّ الشِّرْكِ وَ نَكَسَ بِكَ عَلَمَ الْبَاطِلِ وَ رَايَةَ الضَّلَالِ
And I testify that Muhammad-saww, Rasool-saww of Allah-saww! The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Tied the honour of Al Islam with you-saww, and Made you-saww the highest of the good people and an ascent of the callers to the House of Peace! The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who through your-saww rise, brought down the heights of Kufr and the arrogance of polytheism, and through you-saww overturned the banner of falsehood and the flag of straying!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تُنْصَبْ إِلَّا لِتَوْحِيدِ اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَمْجِيدِهِ وَ تَعْظِيمِ اللَّهِ وَ تَحْمِيدِهِ وَ لِمَوَاعِظِ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ وَ الدُّعَاءِ إِلَى عَفْوِهِ وَ غُفْرَانِهِ
I testify that you-saww were not set up except for Tawheed of Allah-azwj the Glorious and glorifying Him-azwj, and revering Allah-azwj and praising Him-azwj, and for preaching the servants of Allah-azwj and the calling to His-azwj Pardon and His-azwj Forgiveness!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدِ اسْتُوفِيتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِارْتِقَائِهِ فِي مَرَاقِيكَ وَ اسْتِوَائِهِ عَلَيْكَ حَظَّ شَرَفِكَ وَ فَضْلِكَ وَ نَصِيبَ عِزِّكَ وَ ذُخْرِكَ وَ نِلْتَ كَمَالَ ذِكْرِكَ وَ عَظَّمَ اللَّهُ حُرْمَتَكَ وَ أَوْجَبَ التَّمَسُّحَ بِكَ
I testify you have been honoured from a Messenger-as of Allah-saww by his-saww loftiness in your heights, and his-saww ascension to You-azwj, he-saww through You-azwj his-saww share of dignity and virtue, his-saww portion of honour and excellence, and he-saww achieved the perfection of Your-azwj Zikr! And Allah-azwj Magnified your-saww sanctity and made it obligatory to seek blessings through you-saww!
فَكَمْ قَدْ وَضَعَ الْمُصْطَفَى ص قَدَمَهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ قَامَ لِلنَّاسِ خَطِيباً فَوْقَكَ وَ وَحَّدَ اللَّهَ وَ حَمَّدَهُ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَ مَجَّدَهُ وَ كَمْ بَلَّغَ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ أَدَّى مِنَ الْأَمَانَةِ وَ تَلَا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ قَرَأَ مِنَ الْفُرْقَانِ وَ أَخْبَرَ مِنَ الْوَحْيِ وَ بَيَّنَ الْأَمْرَ وَ النَّهْيَ وَ فَصَلَ بَيْنَ الْحَلَالِ وَ الْحَرَامِ وَ أَمَرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَ الصِّيَامِ وَ حَثَّ الْعِبَادَ عَلَى الْجِهَادِ وَ أَنْبَأَ عَنْ ثَوَابِهِ فِي الْمَعَادِ-
How often did Al Mustafa-saww place his foot upon you, stand atop you to address the people, proclaim the Oneness of Allah-azwj, praise and glorify Him-azwj? How often did he-saww convey the message upon you, fulfil his trust, recite the Quran and the Furqan, deliver the Revelations, and clarify Commands and Prohibitions, distinguish between the lawful and the forbidden, enjoin Salat and fasting, encourage people toward jihad, and inform them of its Reward in the Hereafter?’ (incorrect recording of this paragraph)
ثُمَّ قِفْ فِي الرَّوْضَةِ وَ هِيَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمِنْبَرِ وَ الْقَبْرِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هَذِهِ رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ جَنَّتِكَ وَ شُعْبَةٌ مِنْ شُعَبِ رَحْمَتِكَ الَّتِي ذَكَرَهَا رَسُولُكَ- وَ أَبَانَ عَنْ فَضْلِهَا وَ شَرَفِ التَّعَبُّدِ لَكَ فِيهَا وَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَنِيهَا فِي سَلَامَةِ نَفْسِي
Then stand in Al-Rowza, and it is what is between the pulpit and the grave, and say, ‘O Allah‑azwj! This is a garden from the Gardens of Your-azwj Paradise, and a branch from the branches of Your-azwj Mercy which Your-azwj Rasool-saww had mentioned and explained its merit, and nobility of the worship to You-azwj in it, and he-saww has conveyed it in the safety of my soul!
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَا سَيِّدِي عَلَى عَظِيمِ نِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ فِي ذَلِكَ وَ عَلَى مَا رَزَقْتَنِيهِ مِنْ طَاعَتِكَ وَ طَلَبِ مَرْضَاتِكَ وَ تَعْظِيمِ حُرْمَةِ نَبِيِّكَ ص بِزِيَارَةِ قَبْرِهِ وَ التَّسْلِيمِ عَلَيْهِ وَ التَّرَدُّدِ فِي مَشَاهِدِهِ وَ مَوَاقِفِهِ
For You-azwj is the Praise, O my Master, upon Your-azwj mighty bounties upon me in that, and upon what You-azwj have Provided from obedience to You-azwj, and seeking Your-azwj Pleasure, and revering sanctity of Your-azwj Prophet-saww by visiting his-saww grave, and the saluting upon him-saww, and the frequenting in its monuments and its pausing!
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَا مَوْلَايَ حَمْداً يَنْتَظِمُ بِهِ مَحَامِدُ حَمَلَةِ عَرْشِكَ وَ سُكَّانِ سَمَاوَاتِكَ لَكَ وَ يَقْصُرُ عَنْهُ حَمْدُ مَنْ مَضَى وَ يَفْضُلُ حَمْدَ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ
For You-azwj is the Praise, O my Master, a praise that encompasses the praises of the bearers of Your-azwj Throne and the inhabitants of Your skies, surpassing the praise of those who have passed, and exceeding the praise of those who remain among Your-azwj creation.
وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَا مَوْلَايَ حَمْدَ مَنْ عَرَفَ الْحَمْدَ لَكَ وَ التَّوْفِيقَ لِلْحَمْدِ مِنْكَ حَمْداً يَمْلَأُ مَا خَلَقْتَ وَ يَبْلُغُ حَيْثُ مَا أَرَدْتَ وَ لَا يَحْجُبُ عَنْكَ وَ لَا يَنْقَضِي دُونَكَ وَ يَبْلُغُ أَقْصَى رِضَاكَ وَ لَا يَبْلُغُ آخِرُهُ أَوَائِلَ مَحَامِدِ خَلْقِكَ لَكَ
And for You-azwj is the praise, O my Master, with the praise of one who truly knows how to praise You-azwj and recognises that the ability to praise comes only from You-azwj! A praise that fills all that You-azwj have Created, reaches wherever You-azwj Desire, is never veiled from You-azwj, never ceases before You-azwj, attains the utmost of Your-azwj Pleasure, and whose end does not even reach the beginning of the praises of Your-azwj creation for You-azwj!
وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مَا عُرِفَ الْحَمْدُ وَ اعْتُقِدَ وَ جُعِلَ ابْتِدَاءُ الْكَلَامِ الْحَمْدَ يَا بَاقِيَ الْعِزِّ وَ الْعَظَمَةِ وَ دَائِمَ السُّلْطَانِ وَ الْقُدْرَةِ وَ شَدِيدَ الْبَطْشِ وَ الْقُوَّةِ وَ نَافِذَ الْأَمْرِ وَ الْإِرَادَةِ وَ وَاسِعَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ رَبَّ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ
And for You-azwj is the Praise as long as praise is known and believed in, and as long as the beginning of speech is made with praise! O Everlasting in Honour and Greatness, O Eternal in Sovereignty and Power, O Mighty in Strength and Force, O Absolute in Command and Desire, O Vast in Mercy and Forgiveness, O Lord-azwj of this world and the Hereafter!
كَمْ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ لَكَ عَلَيَّ يَقْصُرُ عَنْ أَيْسَرِهَا حَمْدِي وَ لَا يَبْلُغُ أَدْنَاهَا شُكْرِي وَ كَمْ مِنْ صَنَائِعَ مِنْكَ إِلَيَّ لَا يُحِيطُ بِكَثْرَتِهَا وَهْمِي وَ لَا يُقَيِّدُهَا فِكْرِي
How many bounties You-azwj have Bestowed upon me, O Lord-azwj, for which my praise falls short of even the least of them, and my gratitude does not reach the smallest of them! And how many Favours You-azwj have Granted me, so numerous that my thoughts cannot encompass them, nor can my mind confine them!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى نَبِيِّكَ الْمُصْطَفَى عَيْنِ الْبَرِيَّةِ طِفْلًا وَ خَيْرِهَا شَابّاً وَ كَهْلًا أَطْهَرِ الْمُطَهَّرِينَ شِيمَةً وَ أَجْوَدِ الْمُسْتَمْطِرِينَ دِيمَةً وَ أَعْظَمِ الْخَلْقِ جُرْثُومَةً
O Allah-azwj, send Salawaat upon Your-azwj Chosen Prophet-azwj, the purest of creation as a child, the best of them in youth and old age, the purest of the purified in character, the most generous of those who give like abundant rain, and the greatest of all beings in essence!
الَّذِي أَوْضَحْتَ بِهِ الدَّلَالاتِ وَ أَقَمْتَ بِهِ الرِّسَالاتِ وَ خَتَمْتَ بِهِ النُّبُوَّاتِ وَ فَتَحْتَ بِهِ بَابَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَ أَظْهَرْتَهُ مَظْهَراً وَ ابْتَعَثْتَهُ نَبِيّاً وَ هَادِياً أَمِيناً مَهْدِيّاً دَاعِياً إِلَيْكَ وَ دَالًّا عَلَيْكَ وَ حُجَّةً بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ
The one through him-saww, You-azwj Clarified the signs, and established the Messages, and Sealed the Prophethood, and Opened the doors of goodness, and Manifested him-saww as a sign, and Sent him-azwj as a Prophet-saww, and a trustworthy guide, and a rightly guided leader, and a caller to You-azwj, and a pointer toward You-azwj, and a Divine Authority in front of You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى الْمَعْصُومِينَ مِنْ عِتْرَتِهِ وَ الطَّيِّبِينَ مِنْ أُسْرَتِهِ وَ شَرِّفْ لَدَيْكَ بِهِ مَنَازِلَهُمْ وَ عَظِّمْ عِنْدَكَ مَرَاتِبَهُمْ وَ اجْعَلْ فِي الرَّفِيقِ الْأَعْلَى مَجَالِسَهُمْ وَ ارْفَعْ إِلَى قُرْبِ رَسُولِكَ دَرَجَاتِهِمْ وَ تَمِّمْ بِلِقَائِهِ سُرُورَهُمْ وَ وَفِّرْ بِمَكَانِهِ أُنْسَهُمْ-
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon the infallible ones from his-saww family and the pure ones from his-saww lineage. Honour their-asws ranks in Your-azwj Presence, and Elevate their stations before You-azwj, and place their-asws dwellings in the highest company, and raise their degrees to be near Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and complete their-asws joy with their-asws reunion with him-saww, and increase their-asws comfort through their-asws place beside him-saww!
ثُمَّ صِرْ إِلَى مَقَامِ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع وَ هُوَ تَحْتَ الْمِيزَابِ الَّذِي إِذَا خَرَجْتَ مِنَ الْبَابِ الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ بَابُ فَاطِمَةَ ع- بِحِيَالِ الْبَابِ وَ الْمِيزَابُ فَوْقَكَ وَ الْبَابُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِكَ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مَنْدُوباً وَ قُلْ يَا مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ مَلَأَهَا جُنُوداً مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ لَهُ مِنْ مَلَائِكَتِهِ وَ الْمُمَجِّدِينَ لِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ عَظَمَتِهِ
Then come to the standing place of Jibraeel-as, and it is beneath the spout which when you exit from the door which is called ‘The door of Fatima-asws’, parallel to the door and the spout is above you, and the door from behind your back. Pray two units Salat mandatory, and say, ‘O the One-azwj Who Created the skies and Filled it with armies of Angels ones glorifying to Him-azwj and glorifying His-azwj Power and His-azwj Magnificence!
وَ أَفْرَغَ عَلَى أَبْدَانِهِمْ حُلَلَ الْكَرَامَاتِ وَ أَنْطَقَ أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ بِضُرُوبِ اللُّغَاتِ وَ أَلْبَسَهُمْ شِعَارَ التَّقْوَى وَ قَلَّدَهُمْ قَلَائِدَ النُّهَى وَ اجعلهم [جَعَلَهُمْ] أَوْفَرَ أَجْنَاسِ خَلْقِهِ مَعْرِفَةً بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِهِ وَ قُدْرَتِهِ وَ جَلَالَتِهِ وَ عَظَمَتِهِ وَ أَكْمَلَهُمْ عِلْماً بِهِ وَ أَشَدَّهُمْ فَرْقاً وَ أَدْوَمَهُمْ لَهُ طَاعَةً وَ خُضُوعاً وَ اسْتِكَانَةً وَ خُشُوعاً
And Clothe their bodies with the garments of honour, make their tongues eloquent in various languages, and Adorn them with the mantle of piety, and Endow them with the necklaces of wisdom! Make them the most knowledgeable of Your-azwj creation in recognising Your-azwj Oneness, and Power, and Majesty, and Greatness. Grant them the most complete understanding of You-azwj and the deepest reverence for You-azwj, and the most constant obedience, and submission, and humility, and devotion!
يَا مَنْ فَضَّلَ الْأَمِينَ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع بِخَصَائِصِهِ وَ دَرَجَاتِهِ وَ مَنَازِلِهِ وَ اخْتَارَهُ لِوَحْيِهِ وَ سِفَارَتِهِ وَ عَهْدِهِ وَ أَمَانَتِهِ وَ إِنْزَالِ كُتُبِهِ وَ أَوَامِرِهِ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ وَ جَعَلَهُ وَاسِطَةً بَيْنَ نَفْسِهِ وَ بَيْنَهُمْ
O You-azwj Who Honoured the trustworthy Jibraeel-as with his-as unique qualities, and ranks, and stations, and chose him-as for Your-azwj Revelation, and mission, and Covenant, and trust, to deliver Your-azwj Books and Commands to Your-azwj Prophets-as and Rasools-as, making him-as the intermediary between You-azwj and them-as!
أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ- وَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَلَائِكَتِكَ وَ سُكَّانِ سَمَاوَاتِكَ أَعْلَمِ خَلْقِكَ بِكَ وَ أَخْوَفِ خَلْقِكَ لَكَ وَ أَقْرَبِ خَلْقِكَ مِنْكَ وَ أَعْمَلِ خَلْقِكَ بِطَاعَتِكَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَغْشَاهُمْ نَوْمُ الْعُيُونِ وَ لَا سَهْوُ الْعُقُولِ وَ لَا فَتْرَةُ الْأَبْدَانِ الْمُكْرَمِينَ بِجِوَارِكَ وَ الْمُؤْتَمَنِينَ عَلَى وَحْيِكَ الْمُجْتَنِبِينَ الْآفَاتِ وَ الْمُوقِينَ السَّيِّئَاتِ
I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and upon entirety of Your-azwj Angels and the inhabitants of Your-azwj skies, the most knowledgeable of Your-azwj creatures about You-azwj, and the most reverent of Your-azwj creatures toward You-azwj, the closest of Your-azwj creatures to You-azwj, and the most diligent of Your-azwj creatures in obeying You-azwj! Those upon whom neither the sleep of eyes nor the forgetfulness of minds nor the fatigue of bodies overcomes. Those honoured by Your-azwj Proximity, and Entrusted with Your-azwj Revelation, Protected from the afflictions, and safeguarded from the evil deeds!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ اخْصُصِ الرُّوحَ الْأَمِينَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ بِأَضْعَافِهَا مِنْكَ وَ عَلَى مَلَائِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ طَبَقَاتِ الْكَرُوبِيِّينَ وَ الرُّوحَانِيِّينَ وَ زِدْ فِي مَرَاتِبِهِ عِنْدَكَ وَ حُقُوقِهِ الَّتِي لَهُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ بِمَا كَانَ يَنْزِلُ بِهِ مِنْ شَرَائِعِ دِينِكَ وَ مَا بَيَّنْتَهُ عَلَى أَلْسِنَةِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ مِنْ مُحَلَّاتِكَ وَ مُحَرَّمَاتِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Grant the Trustworthy Spirit (Jibraeel-as), upon whom be Your-azwj Salawaat, a multiplied share of Your-azwj Mercy. Bestow the same upon Your-azwj nearest Angels, and the ranks of the cherubim, and the spiritual beings. Increase his-as ranks in Your-azwj Presence and the rights he holds over the people of the earth for bringing down the laws of Your-azwj Religion and clarifying through the tongues of Your-azwj Prophets-as, from Your-azwj Permissible(s) and Your-azwj Prohibitions!
اللَّهُمَّ أَكْثِرْ صَلَوَاتِكَ عَلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ فَإِنَّهُ قُدْوَةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ هَادِي الْأَصْفِيَاءِ وَ سَادِسُ أَصْحَابِ الْكِسَاءِ
O Allah-azwj! Frequent the Salawaat upon Jibraeel-as for he-as a leader of the Prophets-as, and guide of the Elites, and sixth of companions of the Cloak!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ وُقُوفِي فِي مَقَامِهِ هَذَا سَبَباً لِنُزُولِ رَحْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَ تَجَاوُزِكَ عَنِّي-
O Allah-azwj! Make this pausing of mine in his-as standing place a cause for necessitating Your-azwj Mercy upon me and Your-azwj Overlooking from me!’
ثُمَّ قُلْ أَيْ جَوَادُ أَيْ كَرِيمُ أَيْ قَرِيبُ أَيْ بَعِيدُ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُوَفِّقَنِي لِطَاعَتِكَ وَ لَا تُزِيلَ عَنِّي نِعْمَتَكَ وَ أَنْ تَرْزُقَنِي الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ تُوَسِّعَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ تُغْنِيَنِي عَنْ شِرَارِ خَلْقِكَ وَ تُلْهِمَنِي شُكْرَكَ وَ ذِكْرَكَ وَ لَا تُخَيِّبْ يَا رَبِّ دُعَائِي وَ لَا تَقْطَعْ رَجَائِي بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ-
Then say, ‘O Generous! O Benevolent! O Near! O Far! I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and to Cause me to die for obedient to You-azwj, and do not Decline Your-azwj bounties from me, and Grace me the Paradise by Your-azwj Mercy, and Expand upon me from Your-azwj Grace, and Make me self-sufficient from Your-azwj evil creatures, and Inspire me to thank You-azwj and do Your-azwj Zikr, and do not disappoint my supplication O Lord-azwj, and do not Cut off my hopes with Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws!’
ثُمَّ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ أُسْطُوَانَةِ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ هِيَ أُسْطُوَانَةُ التَّوْبَةِ وَ قُلْ بَعْدَهُمَا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُهِنِّي بِالْفَقْرِ وَ لَا تُذِلَّنِي بِالدَّيْنِ وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِي إِلَى الْهَلَكَةِ وَ اعْصِمْنِي كَيْ أَعْتَصِمَ وَ أَصْلِحْنِي كَيْ أَنْصَلِحَ وَ اهْدِنِي كَيْ أَهْتَدِيَ
Then pray two units Salat by the pillar of Abu Lubaba, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, and it is the pillar of repentance, and say after these two (units), ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! O Allah-azwj! Neither Demean me with the poverty nor Disgrace me with the debts, and do not Return me to the destruction, and Protect me so that I may hold fast, Correct me so that I may be rectified, and Guide me so that I may be guided!
اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى اجْتِهَادِ نَفْسِي وَ لَا تُعَذِّبْنِي بِسُوءِ ظَنِّي وَ لَا تُهْلِكْنِي وَ أَنْتَ رَجَائِي وَ أَنْتَ أَهْلٌ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَ قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ وَ أَنْتَ أَهْلٌ أَنْ تَعْفُوَ عَنِّي وَ قَدْ أَقْرَرْتُ وَ أَنْتَ أَهْلٌ أَنْ تَقِيلَ وَ قَدْ عَثَرْتُ وَ أَنْتَ أَهْلٌ أَنْ تُحْسِنَ وَ قَدْ أَسَأْتُ وَ أَنْتَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَى وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ فَوَفِّقْنِي لِمَا تُحِبُّ وَ تَرْضَى وَ يَسِّرْ لِيَ الْيَسِيرَ وَ جَنِّبْنِي كُلَّ عَسِيرٍ
O Allah-azwj! Help me strive against my own self, and do not Punish me due to my bad thoughts. Do not destroy me while You-azwj are my hope, for You-azwj are worthy of Forgiving me when I have sinned. You-azwj are also worthy of pardoning me when I admit my mistakes, and You-azwj are worthy of excusing me when I have faltered. You-azwj are worthy of treating me with kindness when I-azwj have wronged, and You-azwj are the one deserving of piety and Forgiveness. So, Grant me success in what You-azwj Love and are Pleased with and Make the easy path easy for me, and keep me away from every difficulty!
اللَّهُمَّ أَغْنِنِي بِالْحَلَالِ مِنَ الْحَرَامِ وَ بِالطَّاعَاتِ عَنِ الْمَعَاصِي وَ بِالْغِنَى عَنِ الْفَقْرِ وَ بِالْجَنَّةِ عَنِ النَّارِ وَ بِالْأَبْرَارِ عَنِ الْفُجَّارِ يَا مَنْ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ-
O Allah-azwj! Make me needless with the Permissible from the Prohibited, and with obedience to You-azwj from the disobedience, and with the riches from the poverty, and with the Paradise from the Hellfire, and the righteous from the immoral! O One, there isn’t anything like Him-azwj and He-azwj is the Hearing, the Seeing, and You-azwj are Able upon all things!’
تَتِمَّةٌ فِي وَدَاعِ النَّبِيِّ ص فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ وَدَاعَهُ فَأْتِ قَبْرَهُ بَعْدَ فَرَاغِكَ مِنْ حَوَائِجِكَ وَ اصْنَعْ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعْتَ عِنْدَ وُصُولِكَ أَوَّلًا
Completion in bidding farewell to the Prophet-saww – ‘When you want to bid farewell to him-saww, come to his-saww grave after your being free from your needs, and do similar to what you have done at your first arrival.
ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ نَبِيِّكَ فَإِنْ تَوَفَّيْتَنِي قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ فِي مَمَاتِي عَلَى مَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِ فِي حَيَاتِي أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ
Then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Do not Make it last of the pacts of Ziyarat of the grave of Your-azwj Prophet-saww. If You-azwj Cause me to die before that, so I testify during my death upon what I testify upon during my life that there is no god except You-azwj, and Muhammad-saww is Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-saww!
وَ أَنَّكَ قَدِ اخْتَرْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الْأَئِمَّةَ الطَّاهِرِينَ الَّذِينَ أَذْهَبْتَ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ طَهَّرْتَهُمْ تَطْهِيراً فَاحْشُرْنَا مَعَهُمْ وَ فِي زُمْرَتِهِمْ وَ تَحْتَ لِوَائِهِمْ وَ لَا تُفَرِّقْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
And You-azwj have Chosen from People-asws of his-saww Household, the Pure Imams-asws, those You-azwj Kept the uncleanness away from them-asws and Purified a thorough Purifying! So, Resurrect us with them-asws, and in their-asws group, and beneath their-asws flag, and do not Separate between me and them-asws in the world and the Hereafter, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[172] (this is not a Hadeeth)
أقول وجدت في نسخة قديمة من مؤلفات بعض أصحابنا هذه الزيارة باختلاف كثير فأوردتها أيضا لاشتمالها على فوائد كثيرة.
I say, ‘I found in an ancient copy from compilations of one of our companions, this report with a lot of differences, so I have referred it also to be inclusive upon the many benefits’.
42- قَالَ بَعْدَ تَقْدِيمِ بَعْضِ الْأَدْعِيَةِ الْمُتَقَدِّمَةِ ثُمَّ تَمْشِي إِلَى الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ الَّتِي عِنْدَ زَاوِيَةِ الْحُجْرَةِ وَ أَنْتَ مُسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةِ فَإِنَّ هُنَاكَ مَوْضِعَ رَأْسِ النَّبِيِّ ص ثُمَّ تَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ
He said after the preliminaries of one of the previous supplications – ‘Then walk to the pillar which is by the corner of the chamber and you are facing the Qiblah, for over there is the place of the head of the Prophet-saww, then say, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, and I testify that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and I testify you-saww are a Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, and I testify you-saww are Muhammad-saww Bin Abdullah-as, seal of the Prophets-as!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ الرِّسَالَةَ وَ أَدَّيْتَ الْأَمَانَةَ وَ نَصَحْتَ لِأُمَّتِكَ وَ دَعَوْتَ إِلى سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَ جَاهَدْتَ فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهادِهِ وَ عَبَدْتَ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصاً حَتَّى أَتَاكَ الْيَقِينُ وَ أَنَّكَ صَدَعْتَ بِأَمْرِ رَبِّكَ وَ أَدَّيْتَ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَ أَنَّكَ قَدْ رَؤُفْتَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ غَلُظْتَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ
And I testify you-saww have delivered the Message, and fulfilled the entrustment, and advised to your-saww community, and called to the way of your-saww Lord-azwj with the wisdom and the goodly exhortation, and fought for the Sake of Allah-azwj as is the right of fighting and you-saww worshipped Allah-azwj sincerely until the certainty (death) came to you-saww, and you-saww proclaimed by the Command of your-saww Lord-azwj, and you-saww fulfilled the truth which was upon you-saww, and you-saww were kind with the Momineen and harsh against the Kafirs!
فَبَلَغَ اللَّهُ بِكَ أَشْرَفَ مَحَلِّ الْمُكْرَمِينَ وَ أَرْفَعَ دَرَجَاتِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى آلِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ
Allah-azwj Reached with you-asws the noblest of places of the honoured ones, and most elevated of the ranks of the Messengers-as, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon you-saww and upon your-saww Progeny-asws, the Pure!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي اسْتَنْقَذَنَا بِكَ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ وَ مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ إِلَى الْهُدَى فَجَزَاكَ اللَّهُ أَفْضَلَ مَا جَزَى نَبِيّاً عَنْ أُمَّتِهِ
The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Saved us through you-saww from the Shirk to Al-Islam, and from the Kufr to the Eman, and from the straying to the guidance. May Allah-azwj Recompense you-saww the best of what He-azwj Recompenses any Prophet-saww on behalf of his-as community!
وَ صَلَّى عَلَيْكَ أَفْضَلَ مَا صَلَّى عَلَى نَبِيٍّ مِنْ أَنْبِيَائِهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكَ أَفْضَلَ مَا سَلَّمَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ مَلَائِكَتِهِ وَ أَهْلِ طَاعَتِهِ
And may He-azwj Send Salawaat upon you-saww the best of what He-azwj has Sent upon a Prophet‑as from His-azwj Prophets-as and His-azwj Rasools-as, and Greet unto you-saww the best of He-azwj has Greeted upon anyone of His-azwj Angels and people obedient to Him-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ أَفْضَلَ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ أَنْمَى بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ أَزْكَى تَحِيَّاتِكَ وَ صَلَوَاتِ مَلَائِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ أَهْلِ طَاعَتِكَ أَجْمَعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ أَهْلِ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ مَنْ سَبَّحَ لَكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ
O Allah-azwj Make the best of Your-azwj Salawaat and the most developed of Your-azwj Blessings, and purest of Your-azwj Salutations, and Salawaat of Your-azwj Angels of Proximity and Your-azwj Messenger-as Prophets-as, and Your-azwj righteous servants, and people obedient to You-azwj, all of them, from the inhabitants of the skies and inhabitants of the earths, and the ones glorifying to You-azwj, O Lord-azwj of the worlds, from the former ones and the latter ones!
عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ نَبِيِّكَ وَ أَمِينِكَ عَلَى وَحْيِكَ وَ نَجِيبِكَ وَ حَبِيبِكَ وَ صَفِيِّكَ وَ صَفْوَتِكَ مِنْ بَرِيَّتِكَ وَ خَاصَّتِكَ فِي خَلِيقَتِكَ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الَّذِينَ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ طَهَّرَهُمْ تَطْهِيراً
(Salawaat be) upon Muhammad-saww Your-azwj servant, and Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and Your-azwj trustee upon Your-azwj Revelation, and Your-azwj captain, and Your‑azwj Beloved, and Your-azwj ambassador, and Your-azwj Elite from Your-azwj created beings, and Your-azwj special one among Your-azwj creation, and upon People-asws of his-saww Household, those You-azwj Kept the uncleanness away from them, People-asws of the Household, and Purified them a purification!
اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِهِ الدَّرَجَةَ الْعُلْيَا وَ آتِهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ الشَّرِيفَةَ وَ ابْعَثْهُ اللَّهُمَّ الْمَقَامَ الْمَحْمُودَ حَتَّى يَغْبِطَهُ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ الْآخِرُونَ
O Allah-azwj! Grant him-saww the exalted rank and Give him-saww the noble mediation, and Resurrect him-saww, O Allah-azwj, at the praiseworthy position until he-saww is envied by the former ones and the latter ones!
اللَّهُمَّ امْنَحْهُ أَشْرَفَ مَحَلٍّ وَ مَرْتَبَةٍ وَ أَرْفَعَ مَنْزِلَةٍ وَ دَرَجَةٍ وَ أَسْنَى كَرَامَةٍ وَ فَضِيلَةٍ كَمَا بَلَغَ نَاصِحاً وَ وَعَظَ زَاجِراً وَ رَغِبَ رَاحِماً وَ حَذَرَ مُشْفِقاً وَ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِكَ وَ صَبَرَ عَلَى الْأَذَى فِي جَنْبِكَ حَتَّى أَوْضَحَ دِينَكَ وَ أَقَامَ حُجَّتَكَ وَ هَدَى إِلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَ أَرْشَدَ إِلَى مَرْضَاتِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Grant him-saww the noblest position and rank, and highest status and level, and the peak of honour and merit just as he-saww delivered advising, and preached rebuking, and encouraged with mercy, and cautioned compassionately, and fought in Your-azwj Way, and was patient upon the harm in Your-azwj Side until he-saww clarified Your-azwj religion, and established Your-azwj Argument, and guided to obey You-azwj, and directed to Your-azwj Pleasure!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى الْأَئِمَّةِ الْأَبْرَارِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ الْأَخْيَارِ مِنْ عِتْرَتِهِ وَ الْخُلَفَاءِ الرَّاشِدِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon the righteous Imams-asws from his-saww offspring, and the best of successors-as from his-saww family-asws, and the rightly guiding caliphs from People-asws of his‑saww Household!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَا أَجِدُ طَرِيقاً إِلَيْكَ سِوَاهُمْ وَ لَا أَرَى شَفِيعاً مَقْبُولَ الشَّفَاعَةِ عِنْدَكَ غَيْرَهُمْ فَبِهِمْ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ وَ بِمُوَالاتِهِمْ أَرْجُو جَنَّتَكَ وَ بِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمْ أُؤَمِّلُ الْخَلَاصَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ
O Allah-azwj! I cannot find a path to You-azwj besides them-asws, nor can I see any intercessor of Accepted intercession in Your-azwj Presence apart from them-asws. So, through them-asws I draw closer to Your-azwj Mercy and through their-asws Wilayah I hope for Your-azwj Paradise, and with the disavowing from their-asws enemies I wish to be rescued from Your-azwj Punishment!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي بِهِمْ عِنْدَكَ وَجِيهاً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ-
O Allah-azwj! Make me through them-asws, a face (of honour) in Your-azwj Presence, in the world and the Hereafter, and from the ones of Proximity!’
ثُمَّ الْتَفِتْ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ قُلْ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي اصْطَفَاكَ وَ اجْتَبَاكَ وَ هَدَاكَ وَ أَنْقَذَنَا بِكَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ صَلَاةً لَا يُحْصِيهَا إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ أَبَدَ الْآبِدِينَ وَ دَهْرَ الدَّاهِرِينَ
Then turn to the grave and say, ‘I ask Allah-azwj Who Chose you-saww, and Selected you-saww, and Guided you-saww, and Saved us through you-saww, to Send Salawaat upon you-saww and upon People-asws of your-saww Household, the Pure, Salawaat which cannot be counted except by Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds, forever and ever, and eons and eons!’
ثُمَّ أَلْصَقَ كَفَّيْكَ بِحَائِطِ الْحُجْرَةِ ثُمَّ قُلْ أَتَيْتُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مُهَاجِراً إِلَيْكَ قَاضِياً لِمَا أَوْجَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ مِنْ قَصْدِكَ وَ إِذْ لَمْ أَلْحَقْكَ حَيّاً فَقَدْ قَصَدْتُكَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِكَ عَالِماً أَنَّ حُرْمَتَكَ مَيِّتاً كَحُرْمَتِكَ حَيّاً فَكُنْ بِذَلِكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ شَاهِداً-
Then adhere your palm to a wall of the chamber, then say, ‘I have come to you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww, as an emigrant to you-saww, fulfiller of what Allah-azwj has Obligated upon me of aiming to you-saww, and since I could not meet you-saww alive so I have aimed to you-saww after your-saww expiry, knowing that your-saww sanctity when expire is like your-saww sanctity when alive, so be a witness with that in the Presence of Allah-azwj!
ثُمَّ امْسَحْ يَدَكَ عَلَى وَجْهِكَ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ بَيْعَةً مَرْضِيَّةً لَدَيْكَ وَ عَهْداً مُؤَكَّداً عِنْدَكَ تُحْيِينِي مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى الْوَفَاءِ بِشَرَائِطِهِ وَ حُدُودِهِ وَ أَحْكَامِهِ وَ حُقُوقِهِ وَ لَوَازِمِهِ وَ تُمِيتُنِي إِذَا أَمَتَّنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ تَبْعَثُنِي يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ تَزِيدُنِي قُوَّةً فِي الْيَقِينِ وَ فِقْهاً فِي الدِّينِ وَ تَمْلَأُ قَلْبِي مِنْ مَحَبَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ-
Then wipe your hand upon your face and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Make that an allegiance that is pleasing to You and a firm covenant with You-azwj! Keep me upon it as long as You-azwj Give me life, with a commitment to its conditions, and limits, and rulings, and rights, and obligations. Let me die upon it when You-azwj Take my soul, and Resurrect me upon it on the Day You-azwj Raise me again, and increase me in certainty, and Grant me deeper understanding of the religion, and Fill my heart with love for Muhammad-saww and his-saww pure Progeny-asws!’
ثُمَّ اجْعَلِ الْقِبْلَةَ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِكَ وَ تَجْعَلُ الْقَبْرَ أَمَامَكَ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا صَفْوَةَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا خَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ
Then make the Qiblah behind your back and make the grave in front of you and say, ‘The greetings be upon you-saww O Rasool-Allah-saww! The greetings be upon you-saww O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj! The greetings be upon you-saww, O Elite of Allah-azwj! The greetings be upon you-saww O Divine Authority of Allah-azwj! The greetings be upon you-saww O Muhammad-saww Bin Abdullah-as! The greetings be upon you-saww, O Seal of the Prophets-as!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْبَشِيرُ النَّذِيرُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الدَّاعِي إِلَى اللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَ السِّرَاجِ الْمُنِيرِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ عَلَى عِتْرَتِكَ الْمُنْتَجَبِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِكَ الرَّاشِدِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى الْأَئِمَّةِ الْهَادِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى أَنْبِيَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَجْمَعِينَ
The greetings be upon you-saww, O Chief of the Messengers-as! The greetings be upon you-saww O giver of glad tidings! The greetings be upon you-saww O caller to Allah-azwj by His-azwj Permission, and the radiant lamp! The greetings be upon you-saww and upon People-asws of your-saww Household, the Pure, and upon your-saww family the Selected ones! The greetings be upon you-saww and upon your-saww rightly guided companions! The greetings be upon you-saww and upon the guiding Imams-asws! The greetings be upon you-saww and upon the Prophets-as of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Messengers-as, and the Angels in their entirety!
أَشْهَدُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَّكَ قَدْ أَتَيْتَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ قُلْتَ الصِّدْقَ فَمَنْ أَطَاعَكَ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ عَصَاكَ عَصَى اللَّهَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي وَفَّقَنِي لِلْإِيمَانِ بِكَ وَ التَّصْدِيقِ بِنُبُوَّتِكَ وَ مَنَّ عَلَيَّ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ اتِّبَاعِ مِلَّتِكَ وَ جَعَلَنِي مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ الْمُجِيبِينَ لِدَعْوَتِكِ وَ هَدَانِي لِمَعْرِفَتِكَ وَ مَعْرِفَةِ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ
I testify, O Rasool-Allah-saww, you-saww had come with the truth, and you-saww said the truth, so the one who obeys you-saww obeys Allah-azwj, and one who disobeys you-saww disobeys Allah-azwj! The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Harmonises me to the Eman with you-saww, and the ratification of your-saww Prophet-hood, and the Conferment upon me with obedience to you‑saww, and following your religion, and make me from your-saww community, the Answered of their supplication, and guide me to recognise you-saww and recognise the Imams-asws from your-saww offspring!
يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِمَا يُرْضِيكَ وَ أَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِمَّا يُسْخِطُكَ أَنَا مُوَالٍ لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ مُعَادٍ لِأَعْدَائِكَ جِئْتُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زَائِراً وَ قَصَدْتُكَ رَاغِباً مُتَوَسِّلًا بِكَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ أَنْتَ صَاحِبُ الْوَسِيلَةِ وَ الْفَضِيلَةِ وَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ الْجَلِيلَةِ وَ الشَّفَاعَةِ الْمَقْبُولَةِ وَ الدَّعْوَةِ الْمَسْمُوعَةِ
O Rasool-Allah-saww! I draw closer to Allah-azwj with what Pleases you-saww, and I disavow to Allah-azwj from what angers you-saww! I am a friend to your-saww friends, and an enemy to your‑saww enemies!

فَاشْفَعْ لِي إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي الرَّحْمَةِ وَ التَّوْفِيقِ وَ الْعِصْمَةِ وَ التَّسْدِيدِ فَقَدْ غَمَرَتْنِي الذُّنُوبُ وَ شَمِلَتْنِي الْعُيُوبُ وَ كَثُرَتِ الْآثَامُ وَ تَضَاعَفَتِ الْأَوْزَارُ وَ أَثْقَلَتِ الْخَطَايَا ظَهْرِي وَ أَفْنَتِ الْمَعَاصِي عُمُرِي
Intercede for me to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic regarding the Mercy, and the inclination, and the protection, and the direction, for the sins have immersed me, and the faults have covered me, and the sins are many, and the burdens have multiplied, and the wrongdoings have loaded upon back, and the acts of disobedience have perished my life!
وَ قَدْ أَخْبَرْتَنَا وَ خَبَرُكَ الصِّدْقُ عَنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَ قَوْلُهُ الْحَقُ وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ جاؤُكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَحِيماً

And here I am, O Rasool-Allah-azwj! I have come to you-saww seeking forgiveness from my sins, repenting from my acts of disobedience, being regretful upon my evil deeds, repenting from my wrongdoings, diverting through you-saww to Allah-azwj. So, Intercede for me, O intercessor of the community, and shelter me O Prophet-saww of Mercy, and I seek His-azwj Forgiveness for Him-azwj to Forgive for me and seek His-azwj Mercy to Mercy me and Turn to me, and I ask Him‑azwj to Hear my supplication and Answer my supplication!’

O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from Replacing my name, or Changing my body, or Declining Your-azwj bounties from me!
اللَّهُمَّ زَيِّنِّي بِالتَّقْوَى وَ جَمِّلْنِي بِالنِّعْمَةِ وَ اغْمَرْنِي بِالْعَافِيَةِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي شُكْرَ الْعَافِيَةِ

أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُجْزِيَكَ عَنَّا أَكْرَمَ مَا جَزَى نَبِيّاً عَنْ أُمَّتِهِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ بِعَدَدِ مَا ذَكَرَهُ الذَّاكِرُونَ وَ كُلَّمَا أَغْفَلَ عَنْ ذِكْرِهِ الْغَافِلُونَ

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ أَمِينُهُ وَ صَفِيُّهُ وَ خِيَرَتُهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ
I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, and I testify that you-saww are His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and His-azwj trustee, and His-azwj ambassador, and His-azwj Choice from His-azwj creation!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ الرِّسَالَةَ وَ أَدَّيْتَ الْأَمَانَةَ وَ نَصَحْتَ لِلْأُمَّةِ وَ جَاهَدْتَ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ وَ عَبَدْتَ اللَّهَ حَتَّى أَتَاكَ الْيَقِينُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ حَقٌّ وَ النَّارَ حَقٌّ وَ الْمَوْتَ حَقٌّ وَ الْبَعْثَ حَقٌّ وَ الْمِيزَانَ حَقٌّ وَ الصِّرَاطَ حَقٌّ فَاشْهَدْ لِي بِهَذِهِ الشَّهَادَةِ-
And I testify that you-saww have delivered the Message and fulfilled the entrustment, and advised the community, and fought enemies of Allah-azwj and worshipped Allah-azwj until the certainty (death) came to you-saww, and I testify that the Paradise is true, and the Hellfire is true, and the death is true, and the Resurrection is true, and the Scale is true, and the Bridge is true, so testify for me with this testimony.
وَ إِنْ كَانَ نَائِباً عَنْ أَحَدٍ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَنْ فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ وَ يَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ-
And if he was a delegate on behalf of someone, he should say, ‘The greetings be upon you-saww O Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj on behalf of so and so, son of so and so, and he should read Surah Al Fatiha and he should say, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest, and for Allah-azwj is the Praise, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!’
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ جاؤُكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَحِيماً
Then he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-saww Said: and had they, when they were unjust to themselves, come to you and sought Forgiveness of Allah and the Rasool had (also) sought Forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Oft-turning (to Mercy), Merciful [4:64].
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا قَوْلَكَ وَ أَطَعْنَا أَمْرَكَ وَ قَصَدْنَا نَبِيَّكَ مُسْتَشْفِعِينَ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِنَا وَ مَا أَثْقَلَ ظُهُورَنَا مِنْ أَوْزَارِنَا تَائِبِينَ مِنْ زَلَلِنَا مُعْتَرِفِينَ بِخَطَايَانَا مُسْتَغْفِرِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ اكْتَسَبْنَاهُ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَ نَسْأَلُكَ التَّوْبَةَ وَ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ اكْتَسَبْنَاهُ بِأَلْسِنَتِنَا
O Allah-azwj! We have heard Your-azwj Words and obeyed Your-azwj Command, and we aimed for Your-azwj Prophet-saww seeking intercession by him-saww to You-azwj from our sins, and what weight there is on our backs from our burdens, repenting from our slips, acknowledging our wrongdoing, seeking Forgiveness from every sin we have earned with our eyes, and we ask for the Acceptance of the repentance, and we seek Your-azwj Forgiveness from every sin we have earned with our tongues.
وَ نَسْأَلُكَ التَّوْبَةَ وَ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ اكْتَسَبْنَاهُ بِأَيْدِينَا وَ نَسْأَلُكَ التَّوْبَةَ وَ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ اكْتَسَبْنَاهُ بِبُطُونِنَا وَ نَسْأَلُكَ التَّوْبَةَ وَ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ اكْتَسَبْنَاهُ بِفُرُوجِنَا وَ نَسْأَلُكَ التَّوْبَةَ وَ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ اكْتَسَبْنَاهُ بِأَرْجُلِنَا وَ نَسْأَلُكَ التَّوْبَةَ وَ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ اكْتَسَبْنَاهُ بِقُلُوبِنَا
And we ask for Acceptance of the repentance and we seek Your-azwj Forgiveness from every sin we have earned with our hands, and we ask You-azwj for Acceptance of the repentance and seek Your-azwj Forgiveness from every sin we have earned without bellies, and ask for Acceptance of the repentance and seek Forgiveness from every sins we have earned by our private parts, and we ask Your-azwj Forgiveness from every sin we earned without legs, and we ask You-azwj for Acceptance of the repentance and seek Forgiveness from every sin we have earned by our hearts!
اللَّهُمَّ فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا قَدِيمَهَا وَ حَدِيثَهَا صَغِيرَهَا وَ كَبِيرَهَا عَمْدَهَا وَ خَطَاهَا سِرَّهَا وَ عَلَانِيَتَهَا أَوَّلَهَا وَ آخِرَهَا مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهَا وَ مَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ فَتُبْ عَلَيْنَا وَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ ارْحَمْنَا وَ شَفِّعْ نَبِيَّكَ فِينَا وَ ارْفَعْنَا بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ عِنْدَكَ وَ حَقِّهِ عَلَيْكَ فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنَ الزَّلَلِ قَبْلَ انْقِضَاءِ الْأَجَلِ-
O Allah-azwj! Forgive our sins for us, their old and their new, their small and their big, their deliberate and their erroneous, and their secretive and their open, their first and their last, what I know from these and what I don’t know, so Turn to us and Forgive for us, and Mercy us and Grant intercession of Your-azwj Prophet-saww regarding us, and Raise us through his-saww status in Your-azwj Presence, and his-saww right upon You-azwj, so Forgive for us whatever has preceded from the slips before termination of the term!’
ثُمَّ ادْعُ بِمَا بَدَا لَكَ وَ أَكْثِرْ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ عِنْدَهُ ص فَإِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ الْوَاحِدَةَ تَعْدِلُ عَشَرَةَ أَلْفَ صَلَاةٍ وَ الدِّرْهَمُ هُنَاكَ بِعَشَرَةِ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ.
Then supplicate with whatever comes to you, and frequent from the Salat in his-saww presence, for the one Salat equates to a thousand Salats, and the Dirham (given in charity) over there equates to ten thousand Dirhams’’.[174] (Not a Hadeeth)
44- زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى لَهُ ص إِذَا وَقَفْتَ عَلَيْهِ ص تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حَبِيبَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِينَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ خَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نَبِيَّ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ قَائِدَ الْخَيْرِ وَ الْبَرَكَةِ وَ دَاعِيَ الْخَلْقِ إِلَى طَرِيقِ النَّجَاةِ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ
Another Ziyarat of his-saww, when you pause by him-saww, you should say, ‘The greetings be upon you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww! The greetings be upon you-saww O Beloved of Allah-azwj!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نَبِيَّ الْهُدَى وَ سَيِّدَ الْوَرَى وَ مُنْقِذَ الْعِبَادِ مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ وَ الرَّدَى السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا صَاحِبَ الْخَلْقِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ الشَّرَفِ الْعَمِيمِ وَ الْآيَاتِ وَ الذِّكْرِ الْحَكِيمِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا صَاحِبَ الْمَقَامِ الْمَحْمُودِ وَ الْحَوْضِ الْمَوْرُودِ وَ اللِّوَاءِ الْمَشْهُودِ

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ النَّبِيُّ الْمُصْطَفَى وَ الْحَبِيبُ الْمُجْتَبَى وَ الْأَمِينُ الْمُرْتَضَى وَ الشَّفِيعُ الْمُرْتَجَى الْمَبْعُوثُ حِينَ الْفَتْرَةِ وَ دُرُوسِ الدِّينِ وَ الْمِلَّةِ بِالنُّورِ الْبَاهِرِ وَ الْكِتَابِ الزَّاهِرِ وَ الْأَمْرِ الْمَرْضِيِّ وَ الْبَيَانِ الْجَلِيِّ
I testify you-saww are Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, the honourable unto Allah-azwj and the Chosen Prophet-saww, and the Selected Beloved, and the trusted and esteemed, and the hoped-for intercessor, sent during a time of stagnation and the fading of faith and creed with a radiant light, and a shining Book, and a pleasing Command, and a clear declaration, and a unique path.
وَ الْمِنْهَاجِ الْبَدِيءِ أَكْرَمُ الْعَالَمِينَ حَسَباً وَ أَفْضَلُهُمْ نَسَباً وَ أَجْمَلُهُمْ مَنْظَراً وَ أَسْخَاهُمْ كَفّاً وَ أَشْجَعُهُمْ قَلْباً وَ أَكْمَلُهُمْ حِلْماً وَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ عِلْماً وَ أَثْبَتُهُمْ أَصْلًا وَ أَعْلَاهُمْ ذِكْراً وَ أَسْنَاهُمْ ذُخْراً وَ أَبْذَخُهُمْ شَرَفاً وَ أَحْمَدُهُمْ وَصْفاً وَ أَوْفَاهُمْ بِالْعَهْدِ وَ أَنْجَزُهُمْ لِلْوَعْدِ
You-saww are the most noble in lineage, and the highest in ancestry, and the most beautiful in appearance, and the most generous in giving, and the bravest in heart, and the most complete in patience, and the most knowledgeable, and the firmest in origin, and the highest in remembrance, and the most exalted in status, and the richest in honour, and the most praiseworthy in description, and the most faithful to covenants, and the most fulfilling of promises.
مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ أَصْلُهَا رَاسِخٌ فِي الثَّرَى وَ فَرْعُهَا شَامِخٌ فِي الْعُلَى قَدْ بَشَّرَتْ بِكَ قَبْلَ مَبْعَثِكَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَ هَتَفَتْ بِصِفَاتِكَ الْأَوْصِيَاءُ وَ صَرَخَتْ بِنُعُوتِكَ الْعُلَمَاءُ
You-saww stem from a tree whose roots are firmly grounded in the earth and whose branches reach high into the skies. The prophets-as before your-saww mission gave glad tidings of you-saww, the successors-as proclaimed your-saww attributes, and the scholars spoke of your-saww attributes.
وَ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ الْمَنْزِلَةَ عَلَى رُسُلِهِ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ الْمَاضِيَةِ وَ الْقُرُونِ الْخَالِيَةِ تَنْطِقُ بِتَعْظِيمِ نَامُوسِكَ وَ شَرْعِكَ وَ تَفْخِيمِ آيَاتِكَ وَ أَعْلَامِكَ وَ فَضْلِ أَوَانِكَ وَ زَمَانِكَ وَ كَانَ مُسْتَقَرُّكَ خَيْرَ مُسْتَقَرٍّ وَ مُسْتَوْدَعُكَ خَيْرَ مُسْتَوْدَعٍ وَ أَنَّكَ سَلِيلُ الْأَعْلَامِ السَّادَةِ وَ الْقُرُومِ الذَّادَةِ تُنْشَأُ فِي مَعَادِنِ الْكَرَامَةِ وَ مَمَاهِدِ السَّلَامَةِ وَ تَكُونُ بَيِّنَ الْعَلَامَةِ بَيِّنَ الْوَسَامَةِ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْكَ شَامَةٌ يَعْرِفُكَ بِهَا الْمُسْتَوْدَعُونَ لِلْعِلْمِ
And Allah-azwj Ordained-saww your rank above His-azwj Messengers-as from past nations and bygone generations. They spoke of the greatness of your-saww law and legislation, the magnificence of your-saww signs and miracles, and the virtue of your-saww time and era. Your-saww dwelling was the best of dwellings, and your-saww lineage was the noblest of lineages. You-saww are the descendant of esteemed leaders and noble guardians, raised in the mines of honour and the foundations of peace. You-saww bore a clear mark and evident distinction, with a seal between your-saww shoulders by which the keepers of knowledge recognised you-saww!
أَنَّكَ الْمُوَفَّقُ الرَّشِيدُ وَ الْمُبَارَكُ السَّعِيدُ وَ الْمَيْمُونُ السَّدِيدُ وَ أَنَّ رَايَتَكَ مَنْصُورَةٌ وَ أَعْلَامَكَ رَضِيَّةٌ مَشْهُورَةٌ وَ فَرَائِضَكَ مُهَذَّبَةٌ وَ سُنَنَكَ نَقِيَّةٌ وَ أَنَّكَ أَحْسَنُ الْعَالَمِينَ خَلْقاً وَ خُلْقاً وَ أَشْرَفُهُمْ أَصْلًا وَ أَكْرَمُهُمْ فِعْلًا وَ أَسْنَاهُمْ خَطَراً وَ أَوْفَاهُمْ عَهْداً وَ أَوْثَقُهُمْ عَقْد
You-saww are the rightly guided and successful, and the Blessed and joyous, and the fortunate and steadfast. Your-saww banner is victorious, and your-saww signs are noble and renowned, and your-saww obligations are refined, and your-saww traditions are pure. You-saww are the best of all creation in both form and character, the most honourable in lineage, and the noblest in deeds, and the most exalted in rank, and the most faithful to covenants, and the firmest in commitment!
اً أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْ أَكْرَمِ الْمَحَامِدِ وَ أَفْضَلِ الْمَنَابِتِ وَ مِنْ أَمْنَعِهَا ذِرْوَةً وَ أَعَزِّهَا أَرُومَةً وَ أَعْظَمِهَا جُرْثُومَةً وَ أَفْضَلِهَا مَكْرُمَةً وَ أَشْرَفِهَا مَنْقَبَةً وَ أَشْهَرِهَا جَلَالَةً وَ أَرْفَعِهَا عُلُوّاً وَ أَعْلَاهَا سُمُوّاً مِنْ دَوْحَةٍ بَاسِقَةِ الْفَرْعِ مُثْمِرَةِ الْحَقِّ مُورِقَةِ الصِّدْقِ طَيِّبَةِ الْعُودِ مَسْعَدَةِ الْجُدُودِ مَغْرُوسَةٍ فِي الْحِلْمِ عَالِيَةٍ فِي ذِرْوَةِ الْعِلْمِ
I testify that Allah-azwj Brought you-saww forth from the most honoured praises and the finest origins, and from the highest and most unassailable lineage, and the most revered root, the greatest foundation, and the most distinguished nobility, and the most exalted virtues, and the most renowned glory, and the loftiest heights, the most supreme honour. You-saww emerged from a towering tree with far-reaching branches bearing the fruits of truth, flourishing with sincerity, pure in essence, blessed in ancestry, deeply rooted in forbearance, elevated at the peak of knowledge!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَكَ رَحْمَةً لِلْخَلْقِ وَ رَأْفَةً بِالْعِبَادِ وَ غَيْثاً لِلْبِلَادِ وَ تَفَضُّلًا عَلَى مَنْ فَوْقَ الْأَرْضِ لِيُنِيلَهُمْ بِكَ خَيْرَهُ وَ يَمْنَحَهُمْ بِكَ فَضْلَهُ وَ يُكْرِمَهُمْ بِدَعْوَتِكَ وَ يَهْدِيَهُمْ بِنُبُوَّتِكَ وَ يُبْصِرَهُمْ مِنَ الْعَمَى بِكَ وَ يَسْتَنْقِذَهُمْ مِنَ الرَّدَى بِاتِّبَاعِكَ وَ جَعَلَ سِيرَتَكَ الْقَصْدَ وَ كَلَامَكَ الْفَصْلَ وَ حُكْمَكَ الْعَدْلَ
I testify Allah-azwj Sent you as a Mercy to creation, a compassion for His-azwj servants, and a life-giving rain for the lands. He-azwj Bestowed His-azwj Grace upon those on earth through you-saww, Granting them His-azwj goodness, Blessing them with His-azwj Favour, Honouring them with your-saww call, guiding them through your-saww Prophethood, enlightening them from blindness through you-saww, and saving them from destruction by following you-saww! He-azwj Made your-saww path balanced, your-saww speech decisive, and your-saww judgment just.
الْبُرَاقَ وَ أَسْرَى بِكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ أَرْقَى بِكَ فِي عُلُوِّ الْعَلَاءِ وَ أَصْعَدَكَ إِلَى الْمَلَإِ الْأَعْلَى وَ أَحْظَاكَ بِالزُّلْفَةِ الْأَدْنَى وَ أَرَاكَ الْآيَةَ الْكُبْرَى عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهى عِنْدَها جَنَّةُ الْمَأْوى مَا زَاغَ بَصَرُكَ وَ مَا طَغَى وَ مَا كَذَبَ فُؤَادُكَ مَا رَأَى
I testify that Allah-azwj Honoured you with the Trustworthy Spirit, and the radiant light, and the clear Book. He-azwj Completed His-azwj Decree with you-saww, Sealed all means through you-saww, and Drove forth the clouds with you-saww, and Made Al Buraq submissive to you, and carried you on the Night Journey to the skies. He-azwj Elevated you-saww to the highest heights, Raised you-saww to the assembly of the Exalted, Brought you near in Divine closeness, and Showed you-saww the greatest sign at the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary, near which lies the Garden of Al-Mawa. Neither did your-saww sigh waver, nor did it transgress, nor did your-saww heart deny what it saw!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَكْرَمَكَ بِالرُّوحِ الْأَمِينِ وَ النُّورِ الْمُبِينِ وَ الْكِتَابِ الْمُسْتَبِينِ وَ خَتَمَ بِكَ الْعِبَادَ وَ طَوَى بِكَ الْأَسْبَابَ وَ أَزْجَى بِكَ السَّحَابَ وَ سَخَّرَ لَكَ
I testify that Allah-azwj Honoured you-saww with the Trustworthy Spirit, and the clear Noor, and clarifying Book, and Sealed the servants with you-saww, and Folded the causes with you-saww, and Moved the clouds by you-saww and Subdued these for you-saww!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَتَيْتَ بِالْأَعْلَام الْقَاهِرَةِ وَ الْآيَاتِ الْبَاهِرَةِ وَ الْمَفَاخِرِ الظَّاهِرَةِ وَ بَلَّغْتَ الرِّسَالَةَ وَ أَدَّيْتَ الْأَمَانَةَ وَ نَصَحْتَ الْأُمَّةَ وَ أَوْضَحْتَ الْمَحَجَّةَ وَ تَلَوْتَ عَلَيْهَا الْكِتَابَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ بَيَّنْتَ لَهَا الشَّرِيعَةَ وَ خَلَّفْتَ فِيهَا الْكِتَابَ وَ الْعِتْرَةَ وَ أَكَّدْتَ عَلَيْهَا بِهِمَا الْحُجَّةَ
I testify that you-saww came with overwhelming proofs, and dazzling signs, and manifest virtues. You-saww conveyed the Message, and fulfilled the trust, and advised the nation, and clarified the true path, and recited to them the Book and the wisdom, and explained to them the Divine Law, and left among them the Book and your-saww pure Progeny-asws, confirming the proof upon them-asws through both!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ الْمَبْعُوثُ عَلَى حِينِ فَتْرَةٍ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَ حَيْرَةٍ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ وَ تَمَكُّنٍ مِنَ الْجَهْلِ وَ ارْتِفَاعٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَ غَلَبَةٍ مِنَ الْعَمَى وَ شِدَّةٍ مِنَ الرَّدَى وَ اعْتِسَافٍ مِنَ الْجَوْرِ وَ امْتِحَاءٍ مِنَ الدِّينِ وَ تَسَعُّرٍ مِنَ الْحُرُوبِ وَ الْبَأْسِ وَ الدُّنْيَا مُتَنَكِّرَةٌ لِأَهْلِهَا مُنْقَلِبَةٌ عَلَى أَبْنَائِهَا ثَمَرُهَا الْفِتَنُ وَ طَعَامُ أَهْلِهَا الْجِيَفُ وَ شِعَارُهَا الْخَوْفُ وَ دِثَارُهَا السَّيْفُ قَدْ مَزَّقَتْ أَهْلَهَا كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ وَ طَرَّدَتْهُمْ كُلَّ مُطَرَّدٍ وَ أَعْمَتْ عُيُونَهُمْ وَ أَشْجَتْ قُلُوبَهُمْ وَ شَغَلَتْهُمْ بِقَطْعِ الْأَرْحَامِ وَ عِبَادَةِ الْأَصْنَامِ وَ خِدْمَةِ النِّيرَانِ
I testify that you-saww were Sent at a time when there had been a pause in the coming of Messengers, when nations were in confusion, and ignorance was deeply rooted, and truth was diminished, and blindness had prevailed, and destruction was severe, and injustice was rampant, and religion was fading, and wars and hardships were inflamed. The world had turned against its inhabitants betraying its own people, and its fruits were tribulations, its and food was carrion, and its banner was fear, and its cloak was the sword. It had torn its people apart, and scattered them in every direction, and blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts, and preoccupied them with severing kinship ties, and worshipping idols, and serving fires!
وَ اسْتَأْصَلْتَ الْكُفْرَ وَ هَدَمْتَ الشِّرْكَ وَ مَحَقْتَ الضَّلَالَةَ وَ نَفَيْتَ الْجَهَالَةَ وَ كَشَفَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ بِكَ الْبَلَاءَ وَ رَدَّ عَنْ دِيَارِهِمْ بِكَ الْأَعْدَاءَ وَ رَفَعَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمُ الْعَدَاوَةَ وَ الْبَغْضَاءَ وَ أَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ أَعَادَ الرَّحْمَةَ إِلَى صُدُورِهِمْ وَ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ النِّعَمِ وَ أَلْبَسَهُمْ حُلَلَ الْعِزِّ وَ الْكَرَمِ-
You-saww uprooted the Kufr, demolished Polytheism, and eradicated misguidance, and eliminated ignorance. Through you-saww, Allah-azwj Lifted affliction from them, repelled and enemies from their lands, and removed enmity and hatred from among them, united and their hearts, and restored mercy to their souls, and opened the doors of blessings upon them, and adorned them with the robes of honour and dignity!’
ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ نَدَبْتَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى رَسُولِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَقُلْتَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً

When you are free from the supplication and the salat, stand and recite also with this Ziyarat saying while your back is leaning to the grave, ‘O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj I entrust my affairs, and with the grave of Your-azwj Prophet-saww I have leant my back, and Your-azwj Qiblah which You-azwj are Pleased for Muhammad-saww I have turned to with my face!

O Allah-azwj! Neither Replace my name, nor Change my body, nor Replace others with me! I come to morning and evening nor controlling for myself any good I hope for, nor turn away from it anything from what I am cautious upon except though You-azwj Alone, there is no associate for You-azwj!

O Allah-azwj! Return me from You-azwj with goodness, surely there is no repeller of Your-azwj Grace!
اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْنِي بِالتَّقْوَى وَ جَمِّلْنِي بِالْعَافِيَةِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي شُكْرَ الْعَافِيَةَ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.

Then he said in (the book) ‘Al Mazar Al Kabeer’ –
‘Al Sadiq Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws was asked about the standing place of Jibraeel-as. He-asws said: ‘Beneath the spout which when you go out from the door which is called, ‘The door of Fatima-asws’, parallel to the door and the spout above you, and the door from behind your back. If you are able to pray two units Salat in it as a delegate, do so, for no one will supplicate over there except it would be Answered for him’.

Then he-asws said: ‘When you want to bid farewell to him-saww, greet unto him-saww just as you had done the first time, and say, ‘The greetings be upon you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww! I entrust you-saww to Allah-saww, and I place my trust in your-saww care, and I convey the greetings to you-saww! I believe in Allah-azwj and with what you-saww had come with and evidenced upon!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنِّي لِزِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ نَبِيِّكَ فَإِنْ تَوَفَّيْتَنِي قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ فِي مَمَاتِي عَلَى مَا شَهِدْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِي حَيَاتِي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ ص.
O Allah-azwj! Do not Make it last of the pacts from me for Ziyarat of the grave of Your-azwj Prophet-saww. If You-azwj Cause me to die before that, so I will testify during my death upon what I had testified upon during my lifetime. I testify that there is no god except You-azwj, and Muhammad-saww is Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-Allah-saww!’’[176]

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about a boundary of the Masjid. He-asws said: ‘From the pillar to the head, to the two pillars near the head, to the two pillars behind the pulpit, on the right side of the Qiblah. There was a path behind the pulpit through which a sheep could pass or a person could walk with a slight deviation’.
وَ زَعَمَ أَنَّ سَاحَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ إِلَى الْبَلَاطَةِ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ بَيْتِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ مِنَ الْبَابِ فَهُوَ مِنْ عِضَادَتِهِ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى سَاحَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بينها [بَيْنَ] بَيْتِ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ خَوْخَةٌ.
He-asws claimed that the area of the Masjid up to the tiling was part of the Masjid. I asked him-asws about the house of Ali-asws. He-asws said, ‘When you enter from the door, it is from its right pillar to the courtyard of the Masjid, and between it and the house of the Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj was a small door’’.[177]

يَوْماً كانَ مِقْدارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ يَوْمَ النَّفْخَةِ يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الرَّاجِفَةُ تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ يَوْمَ النَّشْرِ يَوْمَ الْعَرْضِ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ وَ أُمِّهِ وَ أَبِيهِ وَ صاحِبَتِهِ وَ بَنِيهِ يَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ الْأَرْضُ عَنْهُمْ وَ أَكْنَافُ السَّمَاءِ
A day, its measurement would be of fifty thousand years [70:4], The Day the shaking one will shake (the dust from him) [79:6], the Day of publicity (of deeds), the Day of presentation, a Day the person will flee from his own brother [80:34] And his mother, and his father [80:35] And his spouse and his son [80:36] A Day the earth would cleave asunder from them [50:44], and so will canopy of the sky!
يَوْمَ تَأْتِي كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجادِلُ عَنْ نَفْسِها يَوْمَ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ فَيُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِما عَمِلُوا يَوْمَ لا يُغْنِي مَوْلًى عَنْ مَوْلًى شَيْئاً وَ لا هُمْ يُنْصَرُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
A Day every soul would come pleading about itself, [16:111], a Day they will be returning to Allah-azwj then He would Inform them of what they had done. [58:6], A Day, neither will a friend avail anything from a friend, nor would they be helped [44:41] Except one Allah Mercies. Surely He is the Mighty, the Merciful [44:42].
يَوْمَ يُرَدُّونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَوْلاهُمُ الْحَقِ يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْداثِ سِراعاً كَأَنَّهُمْ إِلى نُصُبٍ يُوفِضُونَ وَ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرادٌ مُنْتَشِرٌ مُهْطِعِينَ إِلَى الدَّاعِ إِلَى اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْوَاقِعَةِ يَوْمَ تُرَجُ الْأَرْضُ رَجّاً
The Day they will be returning to Allah-azwj, to Allah, their true Master, [10:30] The Day they would be coming out from the graves quickly as if they are running to a goal [70:43] They would be coming out from the graves as if they are scattered locusts [54:7] Hastening to the Caller [54:8] to Allah-azwj, the Day of the event, the Day the earth will be shaken with a violent shaking!
يَوْمَ تَكُونُ السَّماءُ كَالْمُهْلِ وَ تَكُونُ الْجِبالُ كَالْعِهْنِ وَ لا يَسْئَلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيماً يَوْمَ الشَّاهِدِ وَ الْمَشْهُودِ يَوْمَ تَكُونُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفّاً صَفّاً
A Day the sky will become like the molten brass [70:8] And the mountains would become like the wool [70:9] And a friend will not ask (about) a friend [70:10], a Day of witness and the witnessed, a Day the Angels will be in rows and rows!
اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْ مَوْقِفِي فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَ لَا تُخْزِنِي فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ بِمَا جَنَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ اجْعَلْ يَا رَبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مَعَ أَوْلِيَائِكَ مُنْطَلَقِي وَ فِي زُمْرَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ع
O Allah-azwj! Mercy my standing on that Day, and do not disgrace me on that Day because of what I have brought upon myself. O my Lord-azwj! Grant that on that Day, my departure to be with Your-azwj Chosen ones, and my gathering be in the company of Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household!
مَحْشَرِي وَ اجْعَلْ حَوْضَهُ مَوْرِدِي وَ فِي الْغُرِّ الْكِرَامِ مَصْدَرِي وَ أَعْطِنِي كِتَابِي بِيَمِينِي حَتَّى أَفُوَز بِحَسَنَاتِي وَ تُبَيِّضَ بِهِ وَجْهِي وَ تُيَسِّرَ بِهِ حِسَابِي وَ تُرَجِّحَ بِهِ مِيزَانِي وَ أَمْضِيَ مَعَ الْفَائِزِينَ فِي عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ إِلَى رِضْوَانِكَ وَ جِنَانِكَ يَا إِلَهَ الْعَالَمِينَ
Make his-saww Fountain my place of arrival, and let my return be among the honoured and noble ones. Grant me my book (register of deeds) in my right hand so that I may succeed with my good deeds, my face be brightened, my reckoning be made easy, and my scale be weighed heavy with righteousness. Let me proceed with the victorious among Your-azwj righteous servants toward Your-azwj Pleasure and Your-azwj Gardens, O Lord-azwj of the worlds!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ تَفْضَحَنِي فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْخَلَائِقِ بِجَرِيرَتِي أَوْ أَنْ أَلْقَى الْخِزْيَ وَ النَّدَامَةَ بِخَطِيئَتِي أَوْ أَنْ تُظْهِرَ فِيهِ سَيِّئَاتِي عَلَى حَسَنَاتِي أَوْ تُنَوِّهَ بَيْنَ الْخَلَائِقِ بِاسْمِي يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ الْعَفْوَ الْعَفْوَ الْعَفْوَ السَّتْرَ السَّتْرَ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from Your-azwj Exposing me during that Day in front of the creatures of my crimes, or to face disgrace and the regret due to my wrongdoing or my evil deeds to prevail over my good days during it, or my name being mentioned between the creatures! O Benevolent, O Benevolent, O Benevolent! The Pardon, the Pardon, the Pardon! The covering, the covering!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ فِي مَوَاقِفِ الْخِزْيِ وَ مَوَاقِفِ الْأَشْرَارِ مَوْقِفِي أَوْ فِي مَقَامِ الْأَشْقِيَاءِ مَقَامِي وَ إِذَا مَيَّزْتَ بَيْنَ خَلْقِكَ فَسُقْتَ كُلًّا بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ زُمَراً إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ فَسُقْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ فِي زُمْرَةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى جِنَانِكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from being in the Day in the standings of disgrace, and the standings of evil people to be my standing, or in the place of the wretched being my place, and when You-azwj have Distinguished between Your-azwj creatures, so You-azwj Usher everyone according to their deeds as a group to their dwellings, so Usher me, by Your-azwj Mercy, being among the righteous servants, and among the group of Your-azwj pious friends to the Gardens, O Lord-azwj of the worlds!’’[189] (This is not a Hadeeth)
وَ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ وَدِّعْهُ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْبَشِيرُ النَّذِيرُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا السِّرَاجُ الْمُنِيرُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا السَّفِيرُ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ وَ بَيْنَ خَلْقِهِ
The Seyyid Al-Razi, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him-ra, said, ‘Then bid farewell and say, ‘The greetings be upon you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww! The greetings be upon you-saww O giver of glad tidings, the warner! The greetings be upon you-saww O radiant lamp! The greetings be upon you-saww O ambassador between Allah-azwj and His-azwj creatures!
أَشْهَدُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ نُوراً فِي الْأَصْلَابِ الشَّامِخَةِ وَ الْأَرْحَامِ الْمُطَهَّرَةِ لَمْ تُنَجِّسْكَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةُ بِأَنْجَاسِهَا وَ لَمْ تُلْبِسْكَ مِنْ مُدْلَهِمَّاتِ ثِيَابِهَا وَ أَشْهَدُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنِّي مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَ وَ بِالْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ مُوقِنٌ بِجَمِيعِ مَا أَتَيْتَ بِهِ رَاضٍ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ أَعْلَامُ الْهُدَى وَ الْعُرْوَةُ الْوُثْقَى وَ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا
I testify, O Rasool-Allah-saww, you-azwj were a Noor in the lofty foreheads and the pure laps! You-azwj were not defiled by the impurities of the Pre-Islamic people, and were not covered by their dark garments; and I testify, O Rasool-Allah-saww, I am a believer in you-saww and the Imams-asws from People-asws of your-saww Household, convinced with entirety of what you-saww had come with, pleased, believing; and I testify that the Imams-asws from People-asws of your-saww Household are the flags of guidance, and the firmest handholds, and the Divine Authorities upon people of the world!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ نَبِيِّكَ ع وَ إِنْ تَوَفَّيْتَنِي فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ فِي مَمَاتِي عَلَى مَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِ فِي حَيَاتِي
O Allah-azwj! Do not Make it last of the pacts of Ziyarat of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and if You-azwj Cause me to die, so I will testify during my death being upon what I am testifying upon during my lifetime!
أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ وَ أَنَّ الْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ أَوْلِيَاؤُكَ وَ أَنْصَارُكَ وَ حُجَجُكَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ وَ خُلَفَاؤُكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ وَ أَعْلَامُكَ فِي بِلَادِكَ وَ خُزَّانُ عِلْمِكَ وَ حَفَظَةُ سِرِّكَ وَ تَرَاجِمَةُ وَحْيِكَ
Surely You-azwj are Allah-azwj, there is no god except You-azwj Alone, there is no associate for You-azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and that the Imams-asws from People-asws of his-saww Household are Your-azwj friends, and Your-azwj helpers, and Your-azwj Divine Authorities upon Your-azwj creatures, and Your-azwj caliphs among Your-azwj servants, and Your-azwj flags in Your-azwj cities, and treasurers of Your-azwj Knowledge, and Preservers of Your-azwj Secrets, and interpreters of Your-azwj Revelation!

O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Deliver to the soul of Your-azwj Prophet-saww Muhammad-saww in this time of mine, and in every time, salutation from me and greetings, and the greetings be upon you-saww O Rasool-Allah-saww, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!

I am saying, ‘I saw in an ancient copy from compilations of our companions afterwards, words of (Syeda) Aamina-asws Bint Wahab-as, ‘The greetings be upon your-saww uncle Imran Abu Talib-asws! The greetings be upon your-saww cousin Ja’far-asws, the flier in the eternal Gardens! The greetings be upon your-saww uncle Hamza-asws, martyr at Ohad!

The greetings be upon your-saww pure wives, the goodly mothers of the believers, especially the truthful, the clean, the pure, the pleasing, the pleased, Khadija-as the great mother of the believers!

The greetings be upon the ones following you-saww with the good deeds up to the Day of religion (Reckoning)! The greetings be upon Al-Baqie (cemetery) and what Al-Baqie contains from the Prophets-as, and the Messengers-as, and the truthful, and the martyrs, and the righteous!’’[191]
12- مصباح، رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَزُورَ قَبْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَبْرَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ قُبُورَ الْحُجَجِ ع وَ هُوَ فِي بَلَدِهِ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ لْيَلْبَسْ ثَوْبَيْنِ نَظِيفَيْنِ وَ لْيَخْرُجْ إِلَى فَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ
(The book) ‘Misbah’ –
‘It is reported from Al-Sadiq Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, he-asws said: ‘One who intends to visit the grave of Rasool-Allah-saww and grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima‑asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, and graves of the Divine Authorities while he is in his-saww city, let him bathe during the day of Friday and let him wear two clean clothes, and let him go out to a wilderness of the earth.
ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ يَقْرَأُ فِيهِنَّ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَإِذَا تَشَهَّدَ وَ سَلَّمَ فَلْيَقُمْ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَ لْيَقُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
Then let him pray four units Salat reading in these whatever is easy from the Quran. When he has performed Tashahhud and Salaam, let him stand facing the Qiblah, and let him say, ‘The greetings be upon you-saww, O Prophet-saww, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!

The greetings be upon you-saww, O the Messenger Prophet-saww, and the Nominated successor‑asws, and the chieftess Al-Zahra-asws, and the two esteemed grandsons-asws, and the children, the flags, and the selected trustees! I have come cutting off (from others) to you-asws and to your-asws forefathers-asws and your-asws sons-asws the replacements (successors-asws), being upon Blessings of the creation!

وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى افْعَلْ ذَلِكَ عَلَى سَطْحِ دَارِكَ.
And in another report: ‘Do that upon the terrace of your house’’.[193]
13- مصباح، رَوَى مُبَشِّرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَدَخَلَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا فَقَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي فَقِيرٌ
(The book) ‘Misbah’ – It is reported by Mubashhir Bin Abdul Aziz who said,
‘I was in the Presence of Abu Abdullah-asws. One of our companions entered. He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I am poor!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع اسْتَقْبِلْ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ فَصُمْهُ وَ اتْلُهُ بِالْخَمِيسِ وَ الْجُمُعَةِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَإِذَا كَانَ فِي ضُحَى يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَزُرْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ أَعْلَى سَطْحِكَ أَوْ فِي فَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ حَيْثُ لَا يَرَاكَ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ صَلِّ مَكَانَكَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اجْثُ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْكَ وَ أَفْضِ بِهِمَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ أَنْتَ مُتَوَجِّهٌ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ يَدَكَ الْيُمْنَى فَوْقَ الْيُسْرَى وَ قُلِ
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Receive the day of Wednesday and fast it, and follow it up with the Thursday and the Friday, three days. When it was in the mid-morning of the Friday, perform Ziyarat of Rasool-Allah-saww from the top of your roof (terrace), or in an open space (wilderness) of the earth whereby no one can see you. Then prays two units Salat in your place, then kneel upon your knees and adhere them to the ground while facing toward the Qiblah, your right hand being above the left and say: –
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ أَنْتَ انْقَطَعَ الرَّجَاءُ إِلَّا مِنْكَ وَ خَابَتِ الْآمَالُ إِلَّا فِيكَ يَا ثِقَةَ مَنْ لَا ثِقَةَ لَهُ لَا ثِقَةَ لِي غَيْرُكَ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ أَمْرِي فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً وَ ارْزُقْنِي مِنْ حَيْثُ أَحْتَسِبُ وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا أَحْتَسِبُ-
‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj! You-azwj! The hopes are cut off except from You-azwj, and the wishes are disappointed except in Your-azwj! O Trust of the one having no trusting one for me! There is no trusting one for me, apart from You-azwj! Make for me from my affairs a relief and an outlet, and Provide me from where I am anticipating and from where I am not anticipating!’
ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ قُلْ يَا مُغِيثُ اجْعَلْ لِي رِزْقاً مِنْ فَضْلِكَ
The perform Sajdah upon the ground and say, ‘O Helper! Make for me sustenance from Your-azwj Grace!’
فَلَنْ يَطْلُعَ عَلَيْكَ نَهَارُ يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ إِلَّا بِرِزْقٍ جَدِيدٍ.
Never will day never emerge upon you on the day of Saturday except with new sustenance!’’[194]
قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَابُنْدَادَ رَاوِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْعَمْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنِ الدَّاعِي لِلرِّزْقِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ
Ahmad Bin Miqdad, reporter of this Hadeeth said,
‘I said to Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Usman Bin Saeed Al-Amry, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, ‘When the supplicater for the sustenance does not happen to be in Al-Medina, what should he do?’
قَالَ يَزُورُ سَيِّدَنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ عِنْدِ رَأْسِ الْإِمَامِ الَّذِي يَكُونُ فِي بَلَدِهِ
He said, ‘He should perform Ziyarat of our chief Rasool-Allah-saww from the head of the Imams-asws being in his city’.
قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي بَلَدِهِ قَبْرُ إِمَامٍ
I said, ‘Supposing there does not happen to be in his city grave of an Imam-asws?’

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘When it was the year forty-one, Muawiya intended (to perform) the Hajj. He sent a carpenter and sent the tools, and wrote to the governor of Al-Medina to dismantle the pulpit of Rasool-Allah-saww and to reconstruct it to a measurement of his own pulpit in Syria.
فَلَمَّا نَهَضُوا لِيَقْلَعُوهُ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَ زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ فَكَفُّوا وَ كَتَبُوا بِذَلِكَ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ يَعْزِمُ عَلَيْهِمْ لَمَّا فَعَلُوهُ فَفَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَمِنْبَرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص الْمَدْخَلُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتَ.
When they got up to uproot it, the sun eclipsed and the ground shook, so they stopped, and they reported with that to Muawiya. He wrote to them, determining upon them to do it. They did that, so the pulpit of Rasool-Allah-saww is at the entrance where you see (these days)’’.[198]

‘I asked Al-Reza-asws about the grave of (Syeda) (Syeda) Fatima-asws. He-asws said: ‘She-asws was buried in her-asws house. When the clan of Umayya added (expanded) in the Masjid, she-asws came to be in the Masjid’’.[199]

‘I asked Al-Reza-asws about (Syeda) (Syeda) Fatima-asws daughter-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, ‘Which place has she-asws been buried in?’

فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ مَا تَقُولُ
The man said, ‘What are you-asws saying?’
فَقَالَ قَدْ قَالَ لَكَ
He-asws said: ‘He has already said it to you’.

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Whatever is between my-saww grave and my-saww pulpit is a garden from the Gardens of Paradise, and my-saww pulpit is upon a channel from the channels of Paradise because the grave of (Syeda) (Syeda) Fatima-asws is between his-saww grave and his-saww pulpit. Her-asws grave is a garden from the Gardens of Paradise, and to it is a channel from the channels of Paradise!’’[201]
4- يب، تهذيب الأحكام ذَكَرَ الشَّيْخُ فِي الرِّسَالَةِ أَنَّكَ تَأْتِي الرَّوْضَةَ فَتَزُورُ فَاطِمَةَ ع لِأَنَّهَا مَقْبُورَةٌ هُنَاكَ وَ قَدِ اخْتَلَفَ أَصْحَابُنَا فِي مَوْضِعِ قَبْرِهَا فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنَّهَا دُفِنَتْ فِي الْبَقِيعِ وَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنَّهَا دُفِنَتْ بِالرَّوْضَةِ وَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنَّهَا دُفِنَتْ فِي بَيْتِهَا فَلَمَّا زَادَ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ صَارَتْ مِنْ جُمْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ
(The book) ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkaam’ –
The Sheykh mentioned in (the book) ‘Al-Risala’, ‘You should go to Al-Rowza (the garden) and visit (Syeda) (Syeda) Fatima-asws because she-asws is buried over there, and our companions differed regarding the place of her-asws grave. Some of them said she is buried in Al-Baqie, and some of them said she-asws is buried in Al Rowza, and some of them said she-asws is buried in her-asws house, when the clan of Umayya expanded in the Masjid, she-asws came to be included in the Masjid.
وَ هَاتَانِ الرِّوَايَتَانِ كَالْمُتَقَارِبَتَيْنِ وَ الْأَفْضَلُ عِنْدِي أَنْ يَزُورَ الْإِنْسَانُ فِي الْمَوْضِعَيْنِ جَمِيعاً إِنَّهُ لَا يَضُرُّهُ ذَلِكَ وَ يَحُوزُ بِهِ أَجْراً عَظِيماً وَ أَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ إِنَّهَا دُفِنَتْ فِي الْبَقِيعِ فَبَعِيدٌ مِنَ الصَّوَابِ.
And these two report are like both close (in meaning), and the best in my view is that the person should visit all, that would not harm him, and he will be Rewarded a might Reward due to it, and as for the one who says she-asws has been buried in Al-Baqie, it is far from the correctness’’.[202] (This is not a Hadeeth)
بيان: الأظهر أنها صلوات الله عليها مدفونة في بيتها و قد قدمنا الأخبار في ذلك و لعل خبر ابن أبي عمير محمول على توسعة الروضة بحيث تشمل بيتها
Explanation – It appears most likely that she-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon her-asws, is buried in her-asws house, as we have previously presented reports supporting this view. The report from Ibn Abi Umayr may be interpreted as referring to an expansion of Al-Rowza in a way that includes her-asws house.
و يؤيده ما تقدم في باب زيارة النبي ص من خبر جميل و فيه أن علامة القبر المعلومة الآن متأخرة عن قبره ص و ليست في جهة الروضة إلا أن يقال إن العلامة لا أصل لها و القبر في جانب الروضة.
This is supported by what was mentioned earlier in the chapter on visiting the Prophet-saww, in the report of Jameel, which states that the currently known grave marker is positioned later than his-saww grave and is not actually in the direction of Al-Rowza, unless it is said that the marker has no real basis and that the grave is indeed located on the side Al-Rowza.

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying, ‘When you enter from the door of Al-Baqie, the house of Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws is on your left a measurement of a passageway for a goat to pass by from the door, and it is to a side of the house of Rasool-Allah-azwj, and both their doors are linked’’.[206]

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكِ مَضَيْتِ عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكِ وَ أَنَّ مَنْ سَرَّكِ فَقَدْ سَرَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ جَفَاكِ فَقَدْ جَفَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ آذَاكِ فَقَدْ آذَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ وَصَلَكِ فَقَدْ وَصَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ قَطَعَكِ فَقَدْ قَطَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِأَنَّكِ بَضْعَةٌ مِنْهُ وَ رُوحُهُ الَّتِي بَيْنَ جَنْبَيْهِ كَمَا قَالَ ص
I testify that you-asws continued upon proof from your-asws Lord-azwj, and the one who cheers you-asws has cheered Rasool-Allah-saww, and one who forsakes you has forsaken Rasool-Allah‑saww, and one who hurts you-asws has hurt Rasool-Allah-saww, and one who connects with you-asws has connected to Rasool-Allah-saww, and one who cuts you-asws off has cut off Rasool-Allah-saww, because you-asws are a part of him-as and his-saww soul which its between his-saww two sides, just as he-saww had said.
أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ وَ رُسُلَهُ وَ مَلَائِكَتَهُ أَنِّي رَاضٍ عَمَّنْ رَضِيتِ عَنْهُ سَاخِطٌ عَلَى مَنْ سَخِطْتِ عَلَيْهِ مُتَبَرِّئٌ مِمَّنْ تَبَرَّأْتِ مِنْهُ مُوَالٍ لِمَنْ وَالَيْتِ مُعَادٍ لِمَنْ عَادَيْتِ مُبْغِضٌ لِمَنْ أَبْغَضْتِ مُحِبٌّ لِمَنْ أَحْبَبْتِ وَ كَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيداً وَ حَسِيباً وَ جَازِياً وَ مُثِيباً-
I keep Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww and His-azwj Angels as witnesses that I am pleased with the one who she-asws was pleased with, angry upon the one she-asws was angered upon, disavowing from the ones she-asws had disavowed from, a friend to the one she-asws had befriended, and enemy to the one she-asws had been inimical to, hateful to the one she-asws was hateful to, loving to the one she-asws had loved, and I suffice with Allah-azwj as Witness and as a Reckoner and a Recompenser, and a Rewarder!’
ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع.
Then Send Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww and the Imams-asws’’.[210]
13- يه، من لا يحضره الفقيه اخْتَلَفَتِ الرِّوَايَاتُ فِي مَوْضِعِ قَبْرِ فَاطِمَةَ ع فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ رَوَى أَنَّهَا دُفِنَتْ بَيْنَ الْقَبْرِ وَ الْمِنْبَرِ وَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص- إِنَّمَا قَالَ بَيْنَ قَبْرِي وَ مِنْبَرِي رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ لِأَنَّ قَبْرَهَا بَيْنَ الْقَبْرِ وَ الْمِنْبَرِ
(The book) ‘Man La Yahzar Al Faqeeh’ –
‘The reports differed regarding the place of the grave of (Syeda) Fatima-asws. From these is one who reported that she-asws is buried between the grave and the pulpit and that the Prophet‑saww had rather said: ‘Between my-saww grave and my-saww pulpit is a garden from the Gardens of Paradise’, because her-asws grave is between the grave and the pulpit.
وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ رَوَى أَنَّهَا دُفِنَتْ فِي بَيْتِهَا فَلَمَّا زَادَتْ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ صَارَتْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَ هَذَا هُوَ الصَّحِيحُ عِنْدِي وَ إِنِّي لَمَّا حَجَجْتُ بَيْتَ اللَّهِ الْحَرَامَ كَانَ رُجُوعِي عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ بِتَوْفِيقِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى ذِكْرُهُ
And from them is one who reports that she-asws is buried in her-asws house. When the clan of Umayya added (extended) in the Masjid, she-asws came to be in the Masjid, and this, it is the correct in my view, and when I performed Hajj of the Sacred House of Allah-azwj, my return was to Al Medina by the Inclination of Allah-azwj, Exalted is His-azwj Mention.
فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص- قَصَدْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِ فَاطِمَةَ ع- وَ هُوَ مِنَ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ الَّتِي تُدْخَلُ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ مَقَامَ جَبْرَئِيلَ إِلَى مُؤَخَّرِ الْحَظِيرَةِ الَّتِي فِيهَا النَّبِيُّ ص فَقُمْتُ عِنْدَ الْحَظِيرَةِ وَ يَسَارِي إِلَيْهَا وَ جَعَلْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ وَ اسْتَقْبَلْتُهَا بِوَجْهِي وَ أَنَا عَلَى غُسْلٍ وَ قُلْتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ- وَ ذَكَرَ نَحْواً مِمَّا ذَكَرَهُ الشَّيْخُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ جَازِياً وَ مُثِيباً
When I was free from Ziyarat of Rasool-Allah-saww, I aimed to the house of (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and it is from the pillar which you enter towards from the standing place of Jibraeel-as to the rear end of the enclosure in which is the Prophet-saww. I stood by the enclosure and my left side was toward it, and I made my back towards the Qiblah and I turned to it with my face and I was upon a bathing, and I said, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O daughter-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww!’ – and he mentioned approximate to what the Sheykh mentioned up to his words, ‘Awarder and a Rewarder’.
فَقَالَ ره ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَ سَلِّمْ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ خَيْرِ الْخَلَائِقِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى وَصِيِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ إِمَامِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ خَيْرِ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ سَيِّدَةِ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ
He said, ‘Then say, ‘O Allah-azwj!

Then he-ra said, ‘I did not find anything in the Ahadeeth specifically designated or limited for the visitation of the Truthful Lady-asws, so I have agreed for the one who looking into this book of mine of her-asws Ziyarat, what I have approved for myself’’.[211] (Not a Hadeeth)

He-asws wrote, ‘It is with my-asws grandfather-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws!’
قُلْتُ أَنَا وَ هَذَا النَّصُّ كَافٍ فِي أَنَّهَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ص فَيَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا سَيِّدَةَ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا وَالِدَةَ الْحُجَجِ عَلَى النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ أَيَّتُهَا الْمَظْلُومَةُ الْمَمْنُوعَةُ حَقَّهَا-
I said, ‘And this text is sufficient regarding that she-asws is with the Prophet-saww. So he should say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, O Chieftess of women of the worlds! The greeting be upon you-asws O mother-asws, the Divine Authority upon the people altogether! The greeting be upon you-asws O oppressed, the prevented of her-asws rights!’
ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى أَمَتِكَ وَ ابْنَةِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ زَوْجَةِ وَصِيِّ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَاةً تُزْلِفُهَا فَوْقَ زُلْفَى عِبَادِكَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ أَهْلِ الْأَرَضِينَ.
Then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon your-asws Maid, and daughter-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and wife of the successor-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, a Salawaat elevating her-asws above the elevation of Your-azwj honourable servants from inhabitants of the skies and inhabitants of the earths!’’
فَقَدْ رُوِيَ أَنَّ مَنْ زَارَهَا بِهَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةِ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ.
It has been reported that the one who visits her-asws with this Ziyarat and seeks Forgiveness of Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj will Forgive him and Admit him into the Paradise’’.[216]
19- مِصْبَاحُ الْأَنْوَارِ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ زَارَ قَبْرَ الطَّاهِرَةِ فَاطِمَةَ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ أَهْلِ الْأَرَضِينَ- ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ.
(The book) ‘Misbah Al Anwaar’ –
‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘One who visits the grave of the Pure (Syeda) Fatima-asws, so he says, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws’ – up to his words – ‘And inhabitants of the earths’, then seeks Forgiveness of Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj will Forgive for him and Admit him into the Paradise’’.[217]
20 قل، إقبال الأعمال روينا بإسنادنا إلى شيخنا المفيد قال عند ذكر جمادى الآخرة ما هذا لفظه يوم العشرين منه كان مولد السيدة الزهراء ع سنة اثنتين من المبعث- و هو يوم شريف يتجدد فيه سرور المؤمنين و يستحب صيامه و التطوع فيه بالخيرات و الصدقة على أهل الإيمان

ثم قال السيد و من تعظيم هذا اليوم زيارة سيدتنا ع فيه
Then the Seyyid said, ‘And from reverence of this day is (to perform) Zayarat of our chieftess-asws during it’.

(The book) ‘Kamil Al Ziyaraat’ – Hakeem Bin Dawood, from Salama Bin Al Khattab, from Ubeydullah Bin Ahmad, from Bakr Bin Salih, from Amro Bin Hashim, from a man from our companions,
‘From one of them-asws having said: ‘When you come to the graves at Al-Baqie, grave of the Imams-asws, stand by them and Make the grave to be in front of you, the say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, the people-asws of piety! The greeting be upon you O Divine Authorities upon people of the world! The greeting be upon you O one standing among the Created beings with the fairness! The greetings be upon you all, the elite people! The greeting be upon you Progeny-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! The greeting be upon you O people of the Divine Secrets!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ بَلَّغْتُمْ وَ نَصَحْتُمْ وَ صَبَرْتُمْ فِي ذَاتِ اللَّهِ وَ كُذِّبْتُمْ وَ أُسِيءَ إِلَيْكُمْ فَغَفَرْتُمْ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمُ الْأَئِمَّةُ الرَّاشِدُونَ الْمُهْتَدُونَ وَ أَنَّ طَاعَتَكُمْ مَفْرُوضَةٌ وَ أَنَّ قَوْلَكُمُ الصِّدْقُ وَ أَنَّكُمْ دَعَوْتُمْ فَلَمْ تُجَابُوا وَ أَمَرْتُمْ فَلَمْ تُطَاعُوا وَ أَنَّكُمْ دَعَائِمُ الدِّينِ وَ أَرْكَانُ الْأَرْضِ
I testify you-asws have conveyed and advised, and were patient for the Self of Allah-azwj, and you-asws were belied and wronged, yet you-asws Forgave; and I testify you-asws are Imams-azwj, the rightly guiding, the Guided, and obedience to you-asws is obligatory, and your-asws words are the truth, and you-asws had called but were not answered, and you-asws instructed but were not obeyed, and you-asws are the pillars of religion, and cornerstones of the earth!
لَنْ تَزَالُوا بِعَيْنِ اللَّهِ يَنْسَخُكُمْ مِنْ أَصْلَابِ كُلِّ مُطَهَّرٍ وَ يَنْقُلُكُمْ مِنْ أَرْحَامِ الْمُطَهَّرَاتِ لَمْ تُدَنِّسْكُمُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةُ الْجَهْلَاءُ وَ لَمْ تَشْرَكْ فِيكُمْ فِتَنُ الْأَهْوَاءِ طِبْتُمْ وَ طَابَ مَنْبِتُكُمْ مَنَّ بِكُمْ عَلَيْنَا دَيَّانُ الدِّينِ
You-asws never ceased to be in the Eye of Allah-azwj. He-azwj Transferred you from the loins of every Purified ones and Transferred you-asws from the purified wombs. The ignorance of the ignorant ones did not stain you-asws, and were not participated in by the temptations of the personal desires! You-asws are good and your-asws origins are good. You-asws have been Conferred upon us by the Judge of all judges!
فَجَعَلَكُمْ فِي بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تُرْفَعَ وَ يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اسْمُهُ وَ جَعَلَ صَلَاتَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ رَحْمَةً لَنَا وَ كَفَّارَةً لِذُنُوبِنَا إِذِ اخْتَارَكُمُ اللَّهُ لَنَا وَ طَيَّبَ خَلْقَنَا بِمَا مَنَّ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ وَلَايَتِكُمْ وَ كُنَّا عِنْدَهُ مُسَمَّيْنَ بِعِلْمِكُمْ مُعْتَرِفِينَ بِتَصْدِيقِنَا إِيَّاكُمْ
He-azwj Made you-asws all to be in houses which Allah has Allowed to be Exalted and His Name is being Mentioned in these; [24:36], and He-azwj Made our Salawaat upon you-asws all as a Mercy for us, and an atonement of our sins when Allah-azwj has Chosen you-asws for us, and Made our creation good due to your-asws Wilayah He-azwj had Conferred upon us, and we were named in His-azwj Presence as acknowledgers of your-asws knowledge due to our having ratified you-asws all!
وَ هَذَا مَكَانُ مَنْ أَسْرَفَ وَ أَخْطَأَ وَ اسْتَكَانَ وَ أَقَرَّ بِمَا جَنَى وَ رَجَا بِمَقَامِهِ الْخَلَاصَ وَ أَنْ يَسْتَنْقِذَهُ بِكُمْ مُسْتَنْقِذُ الْهَلْكَى مِنَ الرَّدَى فَكُونُوا لِي شُفَعَاءَ فَقَدْ وَفَدْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ إِذْ رَغِبَ عَنْكُمْ أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا وَ اتَّخَذُوا آيَاتِ اللَّهِ هُزُواً وَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا عَنْهَا
And this is a position of the one who has been extravagant, and erred, and yielded, and accepted what crimes he has committed, and hoping to be rescued in his standing, and for Him-azwj to Save him through you-asws, saving from the destruction, from the regress! So be intercessors for me, so I have delegated to you when people of the world have turned away from you-asws, and they have taken the Signs of Allah-azwj in mockery, and they were arrogant from these!
يَا مَنْ هُوَ قَائِمٌ لَا يَسْهُو وَ دَائِمٌ لَا يَلْهُو وَ مُحِيطٌ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ لَكَ الْمَنُّ بِمَا وَفَّقْتَنِي وَ عَرَّفْتَنِي أَئِمَّتِي وَ بِمَا أَقَمْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ إِذْ صَدَّ عَنْهُ عِبَادُكَ وَ جَهِلُوا مَعْرِفَتَهُ وَ اسْتَخَفُّوا بِحَقِّهِ وَ مَالُوا إِلَى سِوَاهُ فَكَانَتِ الْمِنَّةُ مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ مَعَ أَقْوَامٍ خَصَصْتَهُمْ بِمَا خَصَصْتَنِي بِهِ
O One Who is Established, not forgetting, and Permanent nor distracted, and Dominant with all things! For You-azwj is the Conferment with what You-azwj have Harmonised me and Introduced me to my Imams-asws, and with what You-azwj have Established me upon, when Your-azwj (other) servants are hindered from it, and they are ignorant of recognising him-asws, and they took lightly with his-asws right, and they inclined to the ones besides him-asws. Thus, the Conferment from You-azwj came to be upon me along with the people You-azwj have Specialised them with what You-azwj have Specialised me with!
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ إِذْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَكَ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا مَذْكُوراً مَكْتُوباً فَلَا تَحْرِمْنِي مَا رَجَوْتُ وَ لَا تُخَيِّبْنِي فِيمَا دَعَوْتُ بِحُرْمَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ-
For You-azwj is the Praise when I was in this standing of mine, Mentioned, Written. So do not Deprive me of what I am hoping for, nor Disappoint me regarding what I am supplicating for by the sanctity of Muhammad-saww and his-saww pure Progeny-asws, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww!’
ثُمَّ ادْعُ لِنَفْسِكَ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ.
Then supplicate for yourself with whatever you like to’’.[219]
2- مل، كامل الزيارات حَكِيمُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بَيَّاعِ السَّابِرِيِّ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: كَانَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ابْنُ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ يَأْتِي قَبْرَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا بَقِيَّةَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ ابْنَ أَوَّلِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ كَيْفَ لَا تَكُونُ كَذَلِكَ وَ أَنْتَ سَلِيلُ الْهُدَى وَ حَلِيفُ التُّقَى وَ خَامِسُ أَهْلِ الْكِسَاءِ وَ غَذَّتْكَ يَدُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ رُبِّيتَ فِي حَجْرِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ رَضَعْتَ مِنْ ثَدْيِ الْإِيمَانِ
(The book) ‘Kamil Al Ziyaraat’ – Hakeem Bin Dawood, from Salama Bin Al Khattab, from Amro Bin Ali, from his uncle, from Umar Bin Yazeed, Baya’a Al Sabiry, raising it, said,
‘Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Hanafiyya had come to the grave of Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-saww be upon him-asws. He said, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, O remainder of the Momineen, and son-asws of first of the Muslims, and how can you-asws not be like that and you-asws are a descendant of the guidance, and an ally of piety, and fifth of the people of the cloak, and were provided by the hand of mercy, and nourished in the lap of Al Islam, and placed from the breast of Eman!
فَطِبْتَ حَيّاً وَ طِبْتَ مَيِّتاً غَيْرَ أَنَّ الْأَنْفُسَ غَيْرُ طَيِّبَةٍ بِفِرَاقِكَ وَ لَا شَارِكَةٍ فِي الْحَيَاةِ لَكَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ-
You-asws were good when alive, and are good when passed away, apart from that the souls are without goodness due to your-asws separation, nor are they participants of yours-asws during the life! May Allah-azwj Mercy you-asws!’
ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَعَلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ السَّلَامُ.
Then he turned to Al-Husayn-asws. He said, ‘O Abu Abdullah-asws! Upon Abu Muhammad (Al-Hassan-asws) be the greeting!’’[220] (Not a Hadeeth)
إيضاح قوله ع يا بقية المؤمنين أي من بقي من المؤمنين الكاملين أي الباقي بعد جده و أبيه صلوات الله عليهم أو من أبقى على المؤمنين بالصلح و لم يعرضهم للقتل كما قال تعالى أُولُوا بَقِيَّةٍ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْفَسادِ فِي الْأَرْضِ.
The explanation of his words, ‘O remainder of the Momineen’, means the one who remained among the complete believers, that is, the one who remained after his-asws grandfather-saww and father-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws. Or it could mean the one who preserved the believers (made them remain alive) through reconciliation and did not expose them to killing, as Allah says: people of balance forbidding from the corruption in the earth, [11:116].
3- أَقُولُ، رَوَى الشَّيْخُ فِي التَّهْذِيبِ هَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ قُولَوَيْهِ وَ ذَكَرَ فِي آخِرِهَا ثُمَّ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ السَّلَامُ
I say, ‘This report has been reported by the Sheykh in ‘Al-Tahzeeb’ and he mentioned in its end, ‘Then he turned to Al-Husayn-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws. He said, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, O Abu Abdullah-asws and upon Abu Muhammad (Al-Hassan-asws) be the greeting’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَدَاعُ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع- تَقِفُ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ كَوُقُوفِكَ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ الزِّيَارَةِ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ اللَّهَ وَ أَسْتَرْعِيكَ وَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِالرَّسُولِ وَ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ وَ دَلَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّهُمَّ اكْتُبْنَا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ
Then he said, ‘Bid farewell to Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Ali-asws. Pause by his grave like your pausing upon it during the Ziyarat and you should say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! The greeting be upon you-asws O my Master, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! I entrust you-asws to Allah-azwj and His-azwj Care, and I convey the greeting to you-asws. I believe in Allah-azwj and the Rasool-saww and with what he-saww had come with and had pointed upon! O Allah-azwj! Write us with the witnesses!’
ثُمَّ تَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ حَاجَتَكَ وَ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْكَ وَ ادْعُ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
Then Ask Allah-azwj of your needs and for Allah-azwj not to Make it last of the pacts from you, and supplicate with whatever you like, it will be Answered if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires!’’[221] (Not a Hadeeth)
4- صبا، مصباح الزائر إِذَا أَرَدْتَ زِيَارَةَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع- فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ اقْصِدِ الْبَقِيعَ وَ قِفْ عَلَى بَابِ الدُّخُولِ وَ اسْتَأْذِنْ بِبَعْضِ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ وَ نَذْكُرُهُ مِنَ الْإِذْنِ مِنْ أَمْثَالِهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ ادْخُلْ وَ قِفْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ الْمُقَدَّسِ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا بَقِيَّةَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ سَاقَ مِثْلَ مَا مَرَّ.
(The book) ‘Misbah Al Zaair’ –
‘When you want to visit Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws, bathe and aim for Al-Baqie and pause at the door of the entrance and seek permission with some of what we have mentioned and we will mention of the permission of the likes of him-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws and upon them-asws! Then enter and pause at his-asws Holy grave and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, O remainder of the Momineen’ – and he continued similar to what has passed’’.[222]
5- مل، كامل الزيارات عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ غَيْرُهُ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: تَقُولُ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع مَا أَحْبَبْتَ.
(The book) ‘Kamil Al Ziyaraat’ – Ali Bin Al-Husayn and others, may Allah-azwj Mercy them, from Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Yazeed Bin Is’haq, from Al-Hassan Bin Atiyya,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘You should say at the grave of Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws whatever you like to’’.[223]
6- صبا، مصباح الزائر فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ وَدَاعَهُمْ ع فَقُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَى وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ أَسْتَوْدِعُكُمُ اللَّهَ وَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِالرَّسُولِ وَ بِمَا جِئْتُمْ بِهِ وَ دَلَلْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ اللَّهُمَ فَاكْتُبْنا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ-
(The book) ‘Misbah Al Zaair’ –
‘When you want to bid them-asws farewell, say, ‘The greeting be upon the Imams-asws of guidance, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! I entrust you-asws all to Allah-azwj and I convey the greeting to you-asws believing in Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and whatever he-saww had come with and pointed upon! O Allah-azwj, Write us among the bearers of witness!’
ثُمَّ ادْعُ اللَّهَ كَثِيراً وَ سَلْهُ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَتِهِمْ.
Then supplicate a lot to Allah-azwj and ask Him-azwj not to Make it the last pact of visiting them-asws’’.[224] (not a Hadeeth)
7- كف، المصباح للكفعمي تَقُولُ فِي زِيَارَةِ أَئِمَّةِ الْبَقِيعِ ع بَعْدَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقَبْرَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى غُسْلٍ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا خُزَّانَ عِلْمِ اللَّهِ وَ حَفَظَةَ سِرِّهِ وَ تَرَاجِمَةَ وَحْيِهِ
(The book) ‘Al Misbah’ of Al Kaf’amy –
‘You should say in Ziyarat of the Imams-asws at Al-Baqie after making the grave in front of you-asws while you are upon a bath, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O treasurers of the Knowledge of Allah-azwj and preservers of His-azwj secret, and interpreters of His-azwj Revelation!
أَتَيْتُكُمْ يَا بَنِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ عَارِفاً بِحَقِّكُمْ مُسْتَبْصِراً بِشَأْنِكُمْ مُعَادِياً لِأَعْدَائِكُمْ مُوَالِياً لِأَوْلِيَائِكُمْ بِأَبِي أَنْتُمْ وَ أُمِّي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى أَرْوَاحِكُمْ وَ أَبْدَانِكُمْ
I have come to you-asws O sons-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, as a recogniser of your-asws rights, having insight of your-asws glory, an enemy to your-asws enemies and a friend to your-asws friends! May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for you-asws! May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon your-asws souls and your-asws bodies!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَوَلَّى آخِرَهُمْ كَمَا تَوَلَّيْتُ أَوَّلَهُمْ وَ أَبْرَأُ مِنْ كُلِّ وَلِيجَةٍ دُونَهُمْ آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ كَفَرْتُ بِالْجِبْتِ وَ الطَّاغُوتِ وَ اللَّاتِ وَ الْعُزَّى وَ كُلِّ نِدٍّ يُدْعَى مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ
O Allah-azwj! I befriend their-asws last one just as I befriend their-asws first one, and I disavow from every confidant apart from them-asws! I believe in Allah-azwj and disbelieve in the false gods and the tyrants, and Al Laat and Al Uzza (two idols), and every rival being supplicated to from other than Allah-azwj!’
وَ تَقُولُ فِي وَدَاعِهِمْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَئِمَّةَ الْهُدَى وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ أَسْتَوْدِعُكُمُ اللَّهَ وَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِالرَّسُولِ وَ بِمَا جِئْتُمْ بِهِ وَ دَلَلْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ اللَّهُمَ فَاكْتُبْنا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَتِهِمْ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ.
And you should say in your bidding farewell to them, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O the Imams-asws of guidance, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! I entrust you-asws all to Allah-azwj and convey the greeting upon you-asws! I believe in Allah-azwj and the Rasool-saww, and what he-saww had come with and pointed upon! O Allah-azwj! Write us with the testifiers and do not Make it the last pact of visiting them-asws, and the greeting be upon them-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!’’[225] (Not a Hadeeth)
8- أَقُولُ وَجَدْتُ فِي نُسْخَةٍ قَدِيمَةٍ مِنْ مُؤَلَّفَاتِ أَصْحَابِنَا زِيَارَةً لَهُمْ ع فَأَوْرَدْتُهَا كَمَا وَجَدْتُهَا قَالَ: تَسْتَحْضِرُ نِيَّةَ زِيَارَتِهِمْ خَاشِعاً لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى ثُمَّ تَقُولُ زَائِراً لِلْجَمِيعِ
I say, ‘I found in an ancient copy of compilations of our companions, a Ziyarat of theirs-asws, so I am referring it just as I had found it. He said, ‘Present the intention of their-asws Ziyarat being fearful of Allah-azwj the Exalted, then say as a visitor to all (Imams-asws): –
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَئِمَّةَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ سَادَةَ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ كُبَرَاءَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ أُمَرَاءَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ قَادَةَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ وَ أَعْلَامَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَ أَنْوَارَ الْعَارِفِينَ وَ وَرَثَةَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ صَفْوَةَ الْأَصْفِيَاءِ وَ خِيَرَةَ الْأَتْقِيَاءِ وَ عِبَادَ الرَّحْمَنِ وَ شُرَكَاءَ الْفُرْقَانِ وَ مَنْهَجَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ مَعَادِنَ الْحَقَائِقِ وَ شُفَعَاءَ الْخَلَائِقِ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
‘The greeting be upon you-asws Imams-asws of the Momineen, and chiefs of the pious, and great ones of the truthful, and governors of the righteous, and leaders of the good doers, and flags of the guided, and rays of the gnostic, and inheritors of the Prophets-as, and Elites of the elites, and Best of the pious, and servants of the Beneficent, and associates of the Furqan, and manifesto of the Eman, and the mines of realities, and intercessors of the people, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ أَبْوَابُ نِعَمِ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَتَحَهَا عَلَى بَرِيَّتِهِ وَ الْأَعْلَامُ الَّتِي فَطَرَهَا لِإِرْشَادِ خَلِيقَتِهِ وَ الْمَوَازِينُ الَّتِي نَصَبَهَا لِتَهْذِيبِ شَرِيعَتِهِ وَ أَنَّكُمْ مَفَاتِيحُ رَحْمَتِهِ وَ مَقَالِيدُ مَغْفِرَتِهِ وَ سَحَائِبُ رِضْوَانِهِ وَ مَفَاتِيحُ جِنَانِهِ

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا عَبَدَكَ مُخْلِصاً وَ أَطَاعَكَ مُخْلِصاً مُجْتَهِداً وَ اجْزِهِ عَنْ إِحْيَاءِ سُنَّتِكَ وَ إِقَامَةِ فَرَائِضِكَ خَيْرَ جَزَاءِ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ أَفْضَلَ ثَوَابِ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ خُصَّهُ مِنَّا بِالسَّلَامِ وَ ارْدُدْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْهُ السَّلَامَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ.
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon him-asws just as he-asws had worshipped You-azwj sincerely, and obeyed You-azwj purely, making efforts, and Recompense him-asws for having revived Your-azwj Sunnah, and established Your-azwj obligation, best Recompense of the pious and most superior Rewards of the righteous ones, and Specialise him-asws from us with the greetings, and Respond to us the greeting from him-asws, and the greeting be upon him-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!’’[226]
9- الْكِتَابُ الْعَتِيقُ، رَوَى أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ رَجَاءٍ الصَّيْدَاوِيُّ هَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةَ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْعَمْرِيِّ ره وَ مَعَهُ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ بْنُ رَوْحٍ قَالَ عِنْدَ زِيَارَتِهِمَا لِمَوْلَانَا أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَفَا عَلَى بَابِ السَّلَامِ
(The book) ‘Al-Kitab Al-Ateeq’ – It is reported by Abu Al-Husayn Ahmad Bin Al-Husayn Bin Raja’a Al-Saydawy, this Ziyarat of Usman Bin Saeed Al-Amry-ra, and with him-ra Abu Al-Qasim Bin Rawh-ra. He-ra said during their Ziyarat of our Master Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, pausing at the door of the greeting: –
فَقَالا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ ابْنَ مَوْلَايَ وَ أَبَا مَوَالِيَّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا شَهِيدَ دَارِ الْفَنَاءِ وَ زَعِيمَ دَارِ الْبَقَاءِ إِنَّا خَالِصَتُكَ وَ مَوَالِيكَ وَ نَعْتَرِفُ بِأُولَاكَ وَ أُخْرَاكَ فَاشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى مُشَفِّعِكَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى رَبِّنَا وَ رَبِّكَ
They both said, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O my Master and son-asws of my Master, and father of my Master, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! The greeting be upon you-asws O martyr in the perishable house, and leader of the ever-lasting House! We are your-asws sincere ones, and your-asws friends, and we acknowledge with your-asws predecessors and your-asws successors, so intercede for us to Your-asws Intercessor Allah-azwj the Exalted, your-asws Lord-azwj and our Lord-azwj!
فَمَا خَابَ عَبْدٌ قَصَدَ بِكَ رَبَّهُ وَ أَتْعَبَ فِيكَ قَلْبَهُ وَ هَجَرَ فِيكَ أَهْلَهُ وَ صَحْبَهُ وَ اتَّخَذَكَ وَلِيَّهُ وَ حَسَبَهُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ.
He is not disappointed, a servant aiming through you-asws to his Lord-azwj fatigues his heart for your-asws sake, and forsakes for your-asws sake his family and his companions, and takes you-asws as a guardian as his sufficer, and the greeting be upon you-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!’’[227] (This is from the two representatives of the 12th Imam-ajfj)
أقول: لا يبعد أن تكون هذه الزيارة لأبي عبد الله الحسين ع فصحفها الناسخون.
I say, ‘It is not far-fetched that this Ziyarat would be for Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn-asws and the copiers have corrupted it’.
10- قَالَ مُؤَلِّفُ الْمَزَارِ الْكَبِيرِ، زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى لَهُمْ ع يُسْتَحَبُّ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ زِيَارَتَهُمْ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ أَوَّلًا ثُمَّ يَأْتِيَ بِسَكِينَةٍ وَ وَقَارٍ فَإِذَا وَرَدَ إِلَى الْبَابِ الشَّرِيفِ وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ
The compiler of ‘Al-Mazar Al-Kabir’ said, ‘Another Ziyarat of their-asws recommended for the one who intents to visit them-asws that he should bathe first, the come with calmness and dignity. When he arrives at the noble door, he should pause at it and say: –
يَا مَوَالِيَّ يَا أَبْنَاءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ عَبْدُكُمْ وَ ابْنُ أَمَتِكُمْ الذَّلِيلُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَ الْمُضْعِفُ فِي عُلُوِّ قَدْرِكُمْ وَ الْمُعْتَرِفُ بِحَقِّكُمْ جَاءَكُمْ مُسْتَجِيراً بِكُمْ قَاصِداً إِلَى حَرَمِكُمْ مُتَقَرِّباً إِلَى مَقَامِكُمْ مُتَوَسِّلًا بِكُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِكُمْ
‘O my Masters! O sons-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! I am your-asws servant and servant of your-asws maid, the humiliated in front of you-asws, and insignificant in your-asws elevated worth, and the acknowledger of your-asws rights! I have come to you-asws seeking shelter with you-asws, aiming to your-asws sanctuary, drawing closer to your-asws places, seeking means with you-asws to Allah‑azwj through you-asws!
أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا مَوَالِيَّ أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا مَلَائِكَةَ اللَّهِ الْمُحْدِقِينَ بِهَذَا الْحَرَمِ الْمُقِيمِينَ بِهَذَا الْمَشْهَدِ-
Can I enter, O my Masters? Can I enter, O guardians of Allah-azwj? Can I enter, O Angels of Allah-azwj surround this sanctuary resident in this Shrine?’
وَ اخْشَعْ لِرَبِّكَ وَ ابْكِ فَإِنْ خَشَعَ قَلْبُكَ وَ دَمَعَتْ عَيْنَاكَ فَهُوَ عَلَامَةُ الْقَبُولِ وَ الْإِذْنِ وَ أَدْخِلْ رِجْلَكَ الْيُمْنَى الْعَتَبَةَ وَ أَخِّرِ الْيُسْرَى وَ قُلِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيراً وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيراً وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بُكْرَةً وَ أَصِيلًا وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الْفَرْدِ الصَّمَدِ الْمَاجِدِ الْأَحَدِ الْمُتَفَضِّلَ الْمَنَّانِ الْمُتَطَوِّلِ الْحَنَّانِ الَّذِي مَنَّ بِطَوْلِهِ وَ سَهَّلَ زِيَارَةَ سَادَتِي بِإِحْسَانِهِ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي عَنْ زِيَارَتِهِمْ مَمْنُوعاً بَلْ تَطَوَّلَ وَ مَنَحَ-
And be fearful of your Lord-azwj and cry, for if your heart is fearful and your eyes shed tears, it is a sign of the acceptance and the permission. Enter your right leg on the threshold and later the left, and say, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest, Greatest, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj a lot, and Glory be to Allah-azwj morning and evening, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, the Individual, the Non-Hollow, the Glorious, the One, the Gracious, the Bestower, the Lenient, the Affectionate, the One Who Conferred by His-azwj Lenience, and Facilitated the Ziyarat of my chiefs due to His-azwj Favour and did not Make me prevented from visiting them-asws. But He-azwj was Lenient and Conferred!’
ثُمَّ ادْخُلْ وَ اجْعَلِ الْقُبُورَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَئِمَّةَ الْهُدَى- وَ سَاقَ مِثْلَ مَا مَرَّ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا عَنْهَا
Then enter and make the graves to be in front of you and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws the Imams-asws of guidance!’ – and he continued what has passed up to his words, ‘And were arrogant from it’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا سَادَاتِي أَنَا عَبْدُكُمْ وَ مَوْلَاكُمْ وَ زَائِرُكُمُ اللَّائِذُ بِكُمْ أَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَى اللَّهِ فِي نُجْحِ طَلِبَتِي وَ كَشْفِ كُرْبَتِي وَ إِجَابَةِ دَعْوَتِي وَ غُفْرَانِ حَوْبَتِي وَ أَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ وَ يُجِيبَ بِرَحْمَتِهِ-
Then said, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O my chiefs! I am your-asws servant and your-asws slave, and your-asws visitor seeking shelter with you-asws! I seek means to Allah-azwj for the success of my requests and removal of my distress, and Answer of my supplication, and Forgiveness of my lusts, and I ask Him-azwj to Hear and Respond by His-azwj Mercy!’
ثُمَّ صَلِّ لِكُلِّ إِمَامٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ ادْعُ بِمَا تُحِبُّ فَإِنَّهُ مَوْضِعُ إِجَابَةٍ.
Then pray two units Salat for each Imam-asws and supplicate with whatever you like for it is a place of Answer’’.[228] (Not a Hadeeth)
