CHAPTER 10 – ZIYARAT OF IBRAHIM-as SON-as OF RASOOL-ALLAH-saww, AND SYEDA FATIMA-asws BINT ASAD-as, AND HAMZA-asws, AND REST OF THE MARTYRS AT AL-MEDINA, AND GOING TO REST OF THE SHRINES THEREIN
الآيات التوبة لَمَسْجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوى مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَقُومَ فِيهِ فِيهِ رِجالٌ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَتَطَهَّرُوا وَ اللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُطَّهِّرِينَ
The Verses – (Surah) Al Tawbah: for a Masjid founded upon the piety from the first day is more rightful that you should be standing in it. Therein are men who love to be purified, and Allah Loves the purifying ones [9:108].
تفسير أقول ذهب أكثر المفسرين إلى أن المراد بهذا المسجد مسجد قباء كما تدل عليه أخبارنا و قيل هو مسجد النبي ص.
Interpretation – I am saying, ‘Most of the interpreters have gone to the intent of this Masjid as being Masjid Quba, just as our Ahadeeth evidence upon, and it is said it is Masjid of the Prophet-saww’.
وَ قَالَ الطَّبْرِسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ رُوِيَ عَنِ السَّيِّدَيْنِ الْبَاقِرِ وَ الصَّادِقِ ع وَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِأَهْلِ قُبَاءَ مَا ذَا تَفْعَلُونَ فِي طُهْرِكُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَدْ أَحْسَنَ عَلَيْكُمُ الثَّنَاءَ
And Al-Tabarsi, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said, ‘It is reported from the two chiefs Al Baqir-asws and Al-Sadiq-asws, and from the Prophet-saww that he-saww said to the people of Quba: ‘What are you doing regarding your cleansing (Wud’u), for Allah-azwj has been Excellent is the praising upon you all!’
قَالُوا نَغْسِلُ أَثَرَ الْغَائِطِ
They said, ‘We wash off the traces of faeces’.
فَقَالَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُطَّهِّرِينَ.
He-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj has Revealed regarding you, and Allah Loves the purifying ones [9:108]’’.

‘From then-asws having said: ‘He should say at the grave of Hamza-asws, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O uncle-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww and best of the martyrs! The greeting be upon you-asws O lion of Allah-azwj and lion of His-azwj Rasool-saww!

I testify that you-asws had fought for the Sake of Allah-azwj and advised to Rasool-Allah-saww, and struggled with yourself-asws and sought what is in the Presence of Allah-azwj, and desired regarding what Allah-azwj Promised!’

Then when you enter, pray Salat and do not face the grave during your Salat. When you are free from your Salat, devote upon the grave and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon People-asws of his-saww Household!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي تَعَرَّضْتُ لِرَحْمَتِكَ بِلُزُوقِي بِقَبْرِ عَمِّ نَبِيِّكَ- صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ لِتُجِيرَنِي مِنْ نَقِمَتِكَ وَ سَخَطِكَ وَ مَقْتِكَ وَ مِنَ الزَّلَلِ فِي يَوْمٍ تَكْثُرُ فِيهِ الْمَعَرَّاتُ وَ الْأَصْوَاتُ وَ تَشْتَغِلُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ وَ تُجَادِلُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ عَنْ نَفْسِهَا
O Allah-azwj! I have exposed to Your-azwj Mercy with my adhering with the grave of an uncle-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, may Your-azwj Salawaat be upon him-saww, and upon People-asws of his-saww Household for You-azwj to Shelter me from Your-azwj Scourge, and Your-azwj Wrath, and Your-azwj Disdain, and from the slips during the day the troubles and the voices will be many and every soul will be pre-occupied with what it had sent ahead, and every soul will pleas from its own behalf!

If You-azwj Mercy me today, there will neither be fear upon me nor grief, and my Master Punishes, for Him-azwj is the Power upon His-azwj servants!
اللَّهُمَّ فَلَا تُخَيِّبْنِي الْيَوْمَ وَ لَا تَصْرِفْنِي بِغَيْرِ حَاجَتِي فَقَدْ لَزِقْتُ بِقَبْرِ عَمِّ نَبِيِّكَ- وَ تَقَرَّبْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ ابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِكَ وَ رَجَاءَ رَحْمَتِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Neither Disappoint me today nor Turn me without my needs fulfilled, so I have adhered with the grave of an uncle-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and drawn closer to You-azwj through him-asws seeking Your-azwj Pleasure and hoping for Your-azwj Mercy!

Accept from me and Repeat with Your-azwj Forbearance upon my ignorance and with Your-azwj Kindness upon the crimes of my soul, for my crimes are might, and I don’t fear that You-azwj will Oppress me, but I fear the evil of the Reckoning!
فَانْظُرِ الْيَوْمَ إِلَى تَقَلُّبِي عَلَى قَبْرِ عَمِّ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ- فَبِهِمْ فُكَّنِي وَ لَا تُخَيِّبْ سَعْيِي وَ لَا يَهُونَنَّ عَلَيْكَ ابْتِهَالِي وَ لَا تَحْجُبْ مِنْكَ صَوْتِي وَ لَا تَقْلِبْنِي بِغَيْرِ حَوَائِجِي
So, Look today at my turning upon the grave of an uncle-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, may Your-azwj Salawaat be upon Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household. Liberate me through them-asws and do not disappoint my striving nor Deem my pleading to You-azwj be insignificant, nor Veil my voice from You-azwj, nor Turn me back without my needs fulfilled!

O Helper of every distressed and grief-stricken! O Reliever from the distressed, the confused, the estranged, the drowning, the one overlooking upon the destruction!

(The book) ‘Kamil Al-Ziyaraat’ – Ibn Al Waleed, from Al Saffar, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Hilal, from Uqba,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws in a lengthy hadeeth of his-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him‑asws, ‘I go to the Masjids which are around Al-Medina, so with which of these should I begin?’
فَقَالَ ابْدَأْ بِقُبَاءَ فَصَلِّ فِيهِ وَ أَكْثِرْ فَإِنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَسْجِدٍ صَلَّى فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي هَذِهِ الْعَرْصَةِ ثُمَّ ائْتِ مَشْرَبَةَ أُمِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَصَلِّ فِيهَا فَإِنَّهُ مَسْكَنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ مُصَلَّاهُ ثُمَّ تَأْتِي مَسْجِدَ الْفَضِيخِ فَصَلِّ فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَدْ صَلَّى فِيهِ نَبِيُّكَ
He-asws said: ‘Begin with (Masjid) Quba. Pray Salat in it and frequently, for it is the first Masjid Rasool-Allah-saww had prayed Salat in this courtyard. Then go to the drinking place of Umm Ibrahim-as. Pray Salat in it, for it is a dwelling of Rasool-Allah-saww and his-saww praying place. Then go to Masjid Al-Fazeekh. Pray two units Salat in it, for your Prophet-saww had prayed Salat in it.
فَإِذَا قَضَيْتَ هَذَا الْجَانِبَ فَأْتِ جَانِبَ أُحُدٍ- فَبَدَأْتَ بِالْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي دُونَ الْحَرَّةِ فَصَلَّيْتَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ مَرَرْتَ بِقَبْرِ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَسَلَّمْتَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ مَرَرْتَ بِقُبُورِ الشُّهَدَاءِ فَقُمْتَ عِنْدَهُمْ فَقُلْتَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الدِّيَارِ أَنْتُمْ لَنَا فَرَطٌ وَ إِنَّا بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ-
When you have fulfil this side, then go to the side of Ohad. Begin with the Masjid which is below Al Harrah and pray Salat in it. Then pass by the grave of Hamza Bin Abdul Muttalib-asws. Greet unto him-asws, then pass by the graves of the martyrs and stand by them. Say, ‘The greeting be upon you all, O people of the graves! You have preceded us and we will be joining with you!’
ثُمَّ تَأْتِي الْمَسْجِدَ الَّذِي فِي الْمَكَانِ الْوَاسِعِ إِلَى جَنْبِ الْجَبَلِ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ حَتَّى تَدْخُلَ أُحُدَ فَتُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ فَعِنْدَهُ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِلَى أُحُدٍ حَيْثُ لَقِيَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَلَمْ يَبْرَحُوا حَتَّى حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ ثُمَّ مُرَّ أَيْضاً حَتَّى تَرْجِعَ فَتُصَلِّيَ عِنْدَ قُبُورِ الشُّهَدَاءِ مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَكَ
Then go to the Masjid which is in a vast place to the side of the mountain on your right until you enter Ohad. Pray Salat in it for the Prophet-saww had gone out to Ohad at it where he-saww met the Polytheists (in battle) and did not depart until the Salat presented. Pray Salat in it. Then pass by as well until you return and pray Salat at the graves of the martyrs, what Allah-azwj has Prescribed to you.
ثُمَّ امْضِ عَلَى وَجْهِكَ ثُمَّ تَأْتِي مَسْجِدَ الْأَحْزَابِ فَتُصَلِّي فِيهِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص دَعَا فِيهِ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ وَ قَالَ يَا صَرِيخَ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ وَ يَا مُجِيبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ وَ يَا مُغِيثَ الْمَهْمُومِينَ اكْشِفْ هَمِّي وَ كَرْبِي وَ غَمِّي فَقَدْ تَرَى حَالِي وَ حَالَ أَصْحَابِي.
Then continue upon your direction, then come to Masjid Al Ahzaab. Pray Salat in it, for Rasool-Allah-saww has supplicated in it on the day of (battle of) Al Ahzaab, and said: ‘O Listener of the distressed, and O Responder to supplications of the desperate, and O Helper of the worried! Remove my-saww worries, and my-saww distress, and my-saww sadness, for You-azwj can See my-saww situation and situation of my-saww companions!’’[4]

And it has reached us that when the Prophet-saww had gone to graves of the martyrs, he-saww said: ‘Greetings be upon you due to your having been patient, so excellent is the end-result of the (goodly) abode [13:24]’.

And as for His-azwj Words: is more rightful that you should be standing in it. [9:108]. He-asws said: ‘Meaning from the Masjid of hypocrisy, and it was upon its road. When he-saww went to Masjid Quba, he-saww would stop and sprinkle water and lotus leaves, lift his-saww garments above his-saww ankles, walk on stones at the side of the road, hasten his-saww pace, and dislike that anything from it should touch his clothes’.

‘Do you go to Masjid Quba, or Masjid Al Fazeekh, or drinking place of Umm Ibrahim-as?’

قَالا وَ مَا هُوَ
They said, ‘And what is it?’

I-asws disliked to move his-saww head from my-asws thigh for I-asws might have bothered Rasool-Allah-saww, until the time passed and it lapsed. Rasool-Allah-saww awakened. He-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! Have you-asws prayed Salat?’
قُلْتُ لَا
I-asws said: ‘No’.
قَالَ وَ لِمَ ذَاكَ
He-saww said: ‘And why is that so?’

He-asws said: ‘He-saww stood up and faced the Qiblah, and extended his-saww hands and said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Return the sun to its timing until Ali-asws prays Salat!’
فَرَجَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ إِلَى وَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى صَلَّيْتُ الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ انْقَضَّتْ انْقِضَاضَ الْكَوْكَبِ.

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ جَاهَدْتَ فِي اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ جُدْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ وَ نَصَحْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ كُنْتَ فِيمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ رَاغِباً

أَتَيْتُكَ مِنْ شُقَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ طَالِباً فَكَاكَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ قَدْ أَوْقَرَتْ ظَهْرِي ذُنُوبِي وَ أَتَيْتُ مَا أَسْخَطَ رَبِّي وَ لَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَداً أَفْزَعُ إِلَيْهِ خَيْراً لِي مِنْكُمْ أَهْلَ بَيْتِ الرَّحْمَةِ فَكُنْ لِي شَفِيعاً يَوْمَ فَقْرِي وَ حَاجَتِي
I have come to you from a far place seeking to liberate my neck from the Hellfire, and my sins have bent my back, and I have committed what Angers my Lord-azwj and I cannot find anyone I can panic to who is better for me that you-asws, People-asws of the Household of Mercy! So be an intercessor for me on the day of my poverty and my need!

I have come to you-asws grief-stricken, and have come to you-asws distressed, and have poured my tears in your-asws presence crying, and I have come to you-asws individually, and you-asws are from the ones Allah-azwj has Commanded me to connect with and Urged me upon being righteous with, and Pointed me upon his-asws merits, and Guided me to love, and Incited me to delegate t, and Inspired me to seek the needs in his-asws presence!
أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ لَا يَشْقَى مَنْ تَوَلَّاكُمْ وَ لَا يَخِيبُ مَنْ أَتَاكُمْ وَ لَا يَخْسَرُ مَنْ يَهْوَاكُمْ وَ لَا يَسْعَدُ مَنْ عَادَاكُمْ-
You-asws are People-asws of the Household! He is not miserable one who befriends you-asws all, nor is he disappointed, the one who comes to you-asws, nor does he regret the one who desires you-asws, and is he fortunate the one being hostile to you-asws!’

O Allah-azwj! I have exposed myself to Your-azwj Mercy by my adhering with the grave of an uncle-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww for You-azwj to Shelter me from Your-azwj Scourge during a day the voices will be many, and every soul will be pre-occupied with what it had sent ahead and plead on its own behalf!
اللَّهُمَّ فَإِنْ تَرْحَمْنِي الْيَوْمَ فَلَا خَوْفَ عَلَيَّ وَ لَا حُزْنَ وَ إِنْ تُعَاقِبْ فَمَوْلًى لَهُ الْقُدْرَةُ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ وَ لَا تُخَيِّبْنِي بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ وَ لَا تَصْرِفْنِي بِغَيْرِ حَاجَتِي فَقَدْ لَصِقْتُ بِقَبْرِ عَمِّ نَبِيِّكَ وَ تَقَرَّبْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ ابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِكَ وَ رَجَاءَ رَحْمَتِكَ
O Allah-azwj! If You-azwj Mercy me today, there will neither be fear upon me nor grief, and if You-azwj Punish, for a master there is the power over his slave, and do not disappoint me after today, nor Turn me away without Fulfilling my needs, for I have adhered with the grave of an uncle-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and have drawn closer to You-azwj through him-asws, seeking Your-azwj Pleasure and hoping for Your-azwj Mercy!
فَتَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي وَ عُدْ بِحِلْمِكَ عَلَى جَهْلِي وَ بِرَأْفَتِكَ عَلَى جِنَايَةِ نَفْسِي فَقَدْ عَظُمَ جُرْمِي وَ مَا أَخَافُ أَنْ تَظْلِمَنِي وَ لَكِنْ أَخَافُ سُوءَ الْحِسَابِ فَانْظُرِ الْيَوْمَ تَقَلُّبِي عَلَى قَبْرِ عَمِّ نَبِيِّكَ ص
Accept from me and Repeat with Your-azwj Leniency upon my ignorance, and with Your-azwj Kindness upon my offences, for my crimes are might, and I don’t fear that You-azwj might Oppress me, but I fear evil of the Reckoning. So Look (consider) today my turning upon the grave of an uncle-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww!
فَبِهِمَا فُكَّنِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ لَا تُخَيِّبْ سَعْيِي وَ لَا يَهُونَنَّ عَلَيْكَ ابْتِهَالِي وَ لَا تَحْجُبَنَّ عَنْكَ صَوْتِي وَ لَا تَقْلِبْنِي بِغَيْرِ حَوَائِجِي يَا غِيَاثَ كُلِّ مَكْرُوبٍ وَ مَحْزُونٍ وَ يَا مُفَرِّجاً عَنِ الْمَلْهُوفِ الْحَيْرَانِ الْغَرِيقِ الْمُشْرِفِ عَلَى الْهَلَكَةِ
So, Liberate me from the Hellfire by them both, and do not disappoint my striving nor deem my pleading to be insignificant to You-azwj, nor Veil my voice from You-azwj nor Return me without fulfilling my needs! O Helper of every distressed and grief-stricken, and O Reliever from the distressed, the confused, the drowning, the one overlooking upon the destruction!
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ انْظُرْ إِلَيَّ نَظْرَةً لَا أَشْقَى بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً وَ ارْحَمْ تَضَرُّعِي وَ عَبْرَتِي وَ انْفِرَادِي فَقَدْ رَجَوْتُ رِضَاكَ وَ تَحَرَّيْتُ الْخَيْرَ الَّذِي لَا يُعْطِيهِ أَحَدٌ سِوَاكَ فَلَا تَرُدَّ أَمَلِي
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Look at me with a Look (consideration) I will not be miserable after it, ever, and Mercy my beseeching and my tears, and my being alone, for I have hoped for Your-azwj Pleasure, and I have hoped for Your-azwj Pleasure, and have sought the goodness which no one can give apart from You-azwj, and do not return my wishes!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ تُعَاقِبْ فَمَوْلًى لَهُ الْقُدْرَةُ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ وَ جَزَائِهِ بِسُوءِ فِعْلِهِ فَلَا أَخِيبَنَّ الْيَوْمَ وَ لَا تَصْرِفْنِي بِغَيْرِ حَاجَتِي وَ لَا تُخَيِّبَنَّ شُخُوصِي وَ وِفَادَتِي فَقَدْ أَنْفَدْتُ نَفَقَتِي وَ أَتْعَبْتُ بَدَنِي وَ قَطَعْتُ الْمَفَازَاتِ وَ خَلَّفْتُ الْأَهْلَ وَ الْمَالَ وَ مَا خَوَّلْتَنِي وَ آثَرْتُ مَا عِنْدَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِي
O Allah-azwj! If You-azwj Punish, a master has the power for him upon his slave and recompense him for his evil deeds. So, neither disappoint me today nor Turn me away without fulfilling my needs, and do not disappoint my person and my delegating, for I have spent my money, and have fatigued my body, and cut off the links, and have left behind the family, and the wealth, and what You-azwj have Bestowed me, and have preferred what is in Your-azwj Presence over myself!
وَ لُذْتُ بِقَبْرِ عَمِّ نَبِيِّكَ ص- وَ تَقَرَّبْتُ بِهِ ابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِكَ فَعُدْ بِحِلْمِكَ عَلَى جَهْلِي وَ بِرَأْفَتِكَ عَلَى ذَنْبِي فَقَدْ عَظُمَ جُرْمِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ.
And I have adhered with the grave of an uncle-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and I have drawn closer through him-asws seeking Your-azwj Pleasure! So, Repeat with Your-azwj Forbearance upon my ignorance, and with Your-azwj Kindness upon my sins, for my crimes are might, by Your-azwj Mercy, O Benevolent, O Benevolent!’’[18] (Not a Hadeeth)

I keep Allah-azwj has Witness I am at war to the one at war with you-asws, at peace to the one peace at you-asws, a believer with what you-asws believe in, a disbeliever with what you-asws had disbelieved in, an upholder of what you-asws uphold, an invalidator of what you-asws have invalidated, a believer in your-asws secrets and your-asws announcements, a delegator to you regarding all of that! May Allah-azwj Curse your-asws enemies, from the Jinn and the humans, and Multiply the painful Punishment upon them!’
وَ تَدْعُو فَتَقُولُ يَا كَائِناً قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ يَا كَائِناً بَعْدَ هَلَاكِ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لَا يَسْتَتِرُ عَنْهُ شَيْءٌ وَ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ شَيْءٌ عَنْ شَيْءٍ كَيْفَ تَهْتَدِي الْقُلُوبُ لِصِفَتِكَ أَوْ تَبْلُغُ الْعُقُولُ نَعْتَكَ وَ قَدْ كُنْتَ قَبْلَ الْوَاصِفِينَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ
And supplicate saying, ‘O Existent before all things, and O Existing after destruction of all things! Nothing is concealed from Him-azwj, nor does a thing Pre-occupy Him-azwj from a thing! How can hearts comprehend Your-azwj Essence, or intellects grasp Your-azwj Attributes, when You-azwj Existed before those from Your-azwj creatures who describe You-azwj?
وَ لَمْ تَرَكَ الْعُيُونُ بِمُشَاهَدَةِ الْأَبْصَارِ فَتَكُونَ بِالْعِيَانِ مَوْصُوفاً وَ لَمْ تُحِطْ بِكَ الْأَوْهَامُ فَتُوجَدَ مُتَكَيِّفاً مَحْدُوداً حَارَتِ الْأَبْصَارُ دُونَكَ فَكَلَّتِ الْأَلْسُنُ عَنْكَ وَ عَجَزَتِ الْأَوْهَامُ عَنِ الْإِحَاطَةِ بِكَ وَ غَرِقَتِ الْأَذْهَانُ فِي نَعْتِ قُدْرَتِكَ وَ امْتَنَعَتْ عَنِ الْأَبْصَارِ رُؤْيَتُكَ وَ تَعَالَتْ عَنِ التَّوْحِيدِ أَزَلِيَّتُكَ وَ صَارَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْتَهُ حُجَّةً لَكَ وَ مُنْتَسِباً إِلَى فِعْلِكَ وَ صَادِراً عَنْ صُنْعِكَ
Eyes have not seen You-azwj with their vision so that You-azwj may be described through sight, nor can imaginations encompass You-azwj to define You-azwj with limits and form. Vision is bewildered before You-azwj, tongues fall short of speaking about You-azwj, minds are incapable of encompassing You-azwj, and intellects drown in describing Your-azwj Power. Eyes are prevented from seeing You-azwj, Your-azwj eternity transcends all notions of oneness, and everything You-azwj have Created serves as proof of You-azwj, is attributed to Your-azwj Act, and originates from Your-azwj craftsmanship!
فَمِنْ بَيْنِ مُبْتَدِعٍ يَدُلُّ عَلَى إِبْدَاعِكَ وَ مُصَوِّرٍ يَشْهَدُ بِتَصْوِيرِكَ وَ مُقَدِّرٍ يَنْبَأُ عَنْ تَقْدِيرِكَ وَ مُدَبِّرٍ يَنْطِقُ عَنْ تَدْبِيرِكَ وَ مَصْنُوعٍ يُومِي إِلَى تَأْثِيرِكَ وَ أَنْتَ لِكُلِّ جِنْسٍ مِنْ مَصْنُوعَاتِكَ وَ مَبْرُوءَاتِكَ وَ مَفْطُورَاتِكَ صَانِعٌ وَ بَارِئٌ وَ فَاطِرٌ
Among the innovators who point to Your-azwj innovation, the designers who testify to Your-azwj Design, the planners who reveal Your-azwj Planning, the organisers who speak of Your-azwj organisation, and the creations that indicate Your-azwj influence! You are the Creator, the Maker, and the Originator of every kind of creation, formation, and existence.
لَمْ تُمَارِسْ فِي خَلْقِكَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ نَصَباً وَ لَا فِي ابْتِدَائِكَ أَجْنَاسَ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ تَعَباً وَ لَا لَكَ حَالٌ سَبَقَ حَالًا فَتَكُونَ أَوَّلًا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَكُونَ آخِراً وَ تَكُونَ ظَاهِراً قَبْلَ أَنْ تَكُونَ بَاطِناً أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمُكَ وَ أَحْصَى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَداً غَيْبُكَ لَسْتَ بِمَحْدُودٍ
You-azwj did not experience fatigue in creating the skies and the earth, nor did You-azwj face hardship in bringing forth the various kinds of beings. No state preceded another for You-azwj, so that You-azwj would be first before being last, or apparent before being hidden. Your-azwj Knowledge encompasses everything, and Your-azwj Awareness records all things in number. Your-azwj unseen existence is not confined by any limits!
فَتُدْرِكَكَ الْأَبْصَارُ وَ لَا بِمُتَنَاهٍ فَتَحْوِيَكَ الْأَنْظَارُ وَ لَا بِجِسْمٍ فَتَكْشِفَكَ الْأَقْدَارُ وَ لَا بِمَرْأًى فَتَحْجُبَكَ الْأَسْتَارُ وَ لَمْ تُشْبِهْ شَيْئاً فَيَكُونَ لَكَ مِثْلًا وَ لَا كَانَ مَعَكَ شَيْءٌ فَتَكُونَ لَهُ ضِدّاً
Eyes cannot perceive You-azwj, nor are You-azwj finite so that visions may encompass You-azwj. You-azwj are not a body that could be defined by measures, nor are You-azwj a visible form that could be veiled by coverings. You-azwj do not resemble anything so that anything could be likened to You-azwj, nor was anything with You-azwj that could be opposed to You-azwj!
ابْتَدَأْتَ الْخَلْقَ لَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ كَانَ مِنْ أَصْلٍ يُضَافُ إِلَيْهِ فِعْلُكَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ لِمِثَالِهِ مُحْتَذِياً وَ عَلَى قَدْرِ هَيْئَتِهِ مُهَيِّئاً وَ لَمْ يُحْدَثْ لَكَ إِذْ خَلَقْتَهُ عِلْماً وَ لَمْ تَسْتَفِدْ بِهِ عَظَمَةً وَ لَا مُلْكاً وَ لَمْ تُكَوِّنْ سَمَاوَاتِكَ وَ أَرْضَكَ وَ أَجْنَاسَ خَلْقِكَ لِتَشْدِيدِ سُلْطَانِكَ وَ لَا لِخَوْفٍ مِنْ زَوَالٍ وَ نُقْصَانٍ
You-azwj Initiated creation not from any pre-existing matter to which Your-azwj Act could be attributed, nor did You-azwj Model it after anything else in imitation or conformity. Creating did not grant You-azwj new knowledge, nor did it add to Your-azwj Greatness or Dominion. You-azwj did not bring forth the skies and the earth, and all beings to strengthen Your-azwj Sovereignty, nor out of fear of loss or reduction!
وَ لَا اسْتِعَانَةٍ عَلَى ضِدٍّ مُكَابِرٍ أَوْ نِدٍّ مُثَاوِرٍ وَ لَا يَئُودُكَ حِفْظُ مَا خَلَقْتَ وَ لَا تَدْبِيرُ مَا ذَرَأْتَ وَ لَا مِنْ عَجْزٍ اكْتَفَيْتَ بِمَا بَرَأْتَ وَ لَا مَسَّكَ لُغُوبٌ فِيمَا فَطَرْتَ وَ بَنَيْتَ وَ عَلَيْهِ قَدَرْتَ وَ لَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْكَ شُبْهَةٌ فِيمَا أَرَدْتَ
You-azwj did not see aid against an adversary or rival. The preservation of what You-azwj Created does not burden You-azwj, nor does the management of what You-azwj brought into existence. You-azwj did not stop at what You-azwj Formed due to any weakness, nor did fatigue affect You-azwj in what You-azwj Originated and established. Your-azwj Desire was never clouded by doubt!
يَا مَنْ تَعَالَى عَنِ الْحُدُودِ وَ عَنْ أَقَاوِيلِ الْمُشَبِّهَةِ وَ الْغُلَاةِ وَ إِجْبَارِ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى الْمَعَاصِي وَ الِاكْتِسَابَاتِ وَ يَا مَنْ تَجَلَّى لِعُقُولِ الْمُوَحِّدِينَ بِالشَّوَاهِدِ وَ الدَّلَالاتِ وَ دَلَّ الْعِبَادَ عَلَى وُجُودِهِ بِالْآيَاتِ الْبَيِّنَاتِ الْقَاهِرَاتِ
O He-azwj Who is Exalted beyond limits, beyond the claims of those who liken Him-azwj to creation and the exaggerations of the extremists, beyond compelling His-azwj servants to commit sins or forcing them into actions. O He-azwj Who Reveals Himself-azwj to the intellects of the monotheists through signs and proofs, and Who Guides His-azwj servants to His-azwj existence through clear, overwhelming signs!
أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ الْمُصْطَفَى وَ حَبِيبِكَ الْمُجْتَبَى نَبِيِّ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ الْهُدَى وَ يَنْبُوعِ الْحِكْمَةِ وَ النَّدَى وَ مَعْدِنِ الْخَشْيَةِ وَ التُّقَى سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ أَفْضَلِ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ افْعَلْ بِنَا مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww Your-azwj servant the Chosen one, and Your-azwj Beloved the Selected, the Prophet-saww of Mercy, and the guide, and the spring of wisdom and the dew, and the mine of fearfulness and the piety, chief of the Messengers-as, and seal of the Prophets, and most superior of the former ones and the latter ones, and upon his-saww Progeny-asws, the goodly, the pure, and Do with us what You-azwj are rightful of, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[20] (Not a Hadeeth)
و يصلي في مشربة أم إبراهيم و هي مسكن النبي ص ما قدر عليه و يصلي في مسجد الفضيخ- فقد روي أنه الذي ردت فيه الشمس لأمير المؤمنين ع- لما نام النبي ص في حجره
And he should pray Salat in the drinking pace of Umm Ibrahim-as, and it is a dwelling of the Prophet-saww, whatever he is able upon, and he should pray in Masjid Al Fazeekh, for it has been reported it is in which the sun was returned for Amir Al-Momineen-asws when the Prophet-saww had slept in his-asws lap.
و منها مسجد الأحزاب و هو مسجد الفتح و ينوي في كل موضع من هذه المواضع ركعتين مندوبا قربة إلى الله تعالى
And from these is Masjid Al-Ahzaab, and it is Masjid Al-Fat’h, and he should intend in each place from these places two units Salat for drawing closer to Allah-azwj the Exalted.
فإذا فرغ من الصلاة فيه قال يَا صَرِيخَ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ وَ يَا مُجِيبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ وَ يَا مُغِيثَ الْمَهْمُومِينَ اكْشِفْ عَنِّي ضُرِّي وَ هَمِّي وَ كَرْبِي وَ غَمِّي كَمَا كَشَفْتَ عَنْ نَبِيِّكَ ص هَمَّهُ وَ كَفَيْتَهُ هَوْلَ عَدُوِّهِ وَ اكْفِنِي مَا أَهَمَّنِي مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
When he is free from the Salat in it, he should say, ‘O Listener of the distressed, and O Responder to supplications of the desperate, and O Helper of the worried! Remove from me my harm, and my worries, and my distress, and my sadness just as You-azwj had Removed from Your-azwj Prophet-saww his-saww worries, and Sufficed him-saww of the horrors of his-saww enemies, and Suffice me of what is worrying me from matters of the world and the Hereafter, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
و تصلي في دار زين العابدين علي بن الحسين ع ما قدرت و تصلي في دار جعفر بن محمد الصادق ع- و تصلي في مسجد سلمان الفارسي ره و تصلي في مسجد أمير المؤمنين ع- و هو محاذي قبر حمزة ع و تصلي في مسجد المباهلة ما استطعت و تدعو فيه بما تحب
And you should pray Salat in the house of Zayn Al-Abideen Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws whatever you are able, and you should pray in the house of Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws, and you should pray Salat in Masjid Salman Al-Farsi-ra, and you should pray in Masjid of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and it is adjacent to the grave of Hamza-asws, and you should pray Salat in Masjid Al-Mubahila whatever you are capable of, and supplicate in it with whatever you like.
و قد ذكرت الدعاء بأسره في كتابي المعروف ببغية الطالب و إيضاح المناسك لمن هو راغب في الحج فمن أراده أخذه من هناك ففيه كفاية إن شاء الله تعالى
And I have mentioned the supplication in its entirety in my book well-known as, ‘Bagt Al Talib Wa Izaah Al Manasik’ for the one who is desirous regarding the Hajj. So, the one who intends it can take it from over there for there is a sufficiency in it if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires’.
و قال شيخنا الشهيد قدس الله روحه في الذكرى من المساجد الشريفة مسجد الغدير و هو بقرب الجحفة جدرانه باقية إلى اليوم و هو مشهور بين و قد كان طريق الحج عليه غالبا.
And our sheykh Al-Shaheed, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul, said in (the book) ‘Al Zikra’, ‘From the noble Masjid is Masjid Al-Ghadeer, and it is nearby Al-Johfa. Its walls remain until today, and it is a famous building, and the road of the Hajj was mostly along it’.[21]
21- وَ رَوَى حَسَّانُ الْجَمَّالُ قَالَ: حَمَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى مَسْجِدِ الْغَدِيرِ نَظَرَ إِلَى مَيْسَرَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ مَوْضِعُ قَدَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حَيْثُ قَالَ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالاهُ وَ عَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ
And it is reported by Hassan Al-Jammal who said, ‘I carried Abu Abdullah-asws (on a camel) from Al-Medina to Makkah. When we ended to Masjid Al Ghadeer, he-asws looked at the left part of the Masjid. He-asws said: ‘That is a place of the feet of Rasool-Allah-saww where he-saww had said: ‘One whose Master I-saww was, so Ali-asws is his Master! O Allah-azwj! Befriend the one befriending him-asws, and be Inimical to the one being inimical to him-asws!’’
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ فِي الْجَانِبِ الْآخَرِ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ مَوْضِعُ فُسْطَاطِ أَبِي فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ وَ سَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ رَأَوْهُ رَافِعاً يَدَهُ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمُ انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَيْنَيْهِ تَدُورَانِ كَأَنَّهُمَا عَيْنَا مَجْنُونٍ
Then he-asws looked at the other side. He-asws said: ‘That is the place of the tent of so and so, and so and so, and Salim Mawla Abu Huzeyfa, and Abu Ubeyda Bin Al-Jarrah. When they saw him-saww raising his-asws hand, one of them said, ‘Look at his-saww eyes rolling. It is as if these are eyes of a madman!’
فَنَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ بِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى وَ إِنْ يَكادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ.
Jibraeel-as descended with Words of the Exalted: And those who commit Kufr would almost smite (strike) you with their eyes when they hear the Zikr, and they were saying, ‘He is insane!’ [68:51] And he is not, except (he is) a Zikr for the worlds [68:52]’’.[22]

CHAPTER 11 – MERIT OF AL-NAJAF AND THE WATER OF EUPHRATES
1- ع، علل الشرائع الدَّقَّاقُ عَنِ الْأَسَدِيِّ عَنِ النَّخَعِيِّ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ الْبَطَائِنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ النَّجَفَ كَانَ جَبَلًا وَ هُوَ الَّذِي قَالَ ابْنُ نُوحٍ سَآوِي إِلى جَبَلٍ يَعْصِمُنِي مِنَ الْماءِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ جَبَلٌ أَعْظَمَ مِنْهُ
(The book) ‘Ilal Al Sharaie’ – Al Daqqaq, from Al Asady, from Al Nakhaie, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Batainy, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Al-Najaf was a mountain, and it is which the son of Noah-as had said: ‘I will shelter to a mountain. It will protect me from the water’ [11:43], and there did not happen to be any mountain upon the surface of the earth larger than it.
فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ يَا جَبَلُ أَ يُعْتَصَمُ بِكَ مِنِّي
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed to it: “O mountain! Can anyone get protection with you from Me-azwj?”
فَتَقَطَّعَ قِطَعاً قِطَعاً إِلَى بِلَادِ الشَّامِ وَ صَارَ رَمْلًا دَقِيقاً وَ صَارَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَحْراً عَظِيماً وَ كَانَ يُسَمَّى ذَلِكَ الْبَحْرُ بَحْرَ نَيْ ثُمَّ جَفَّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقِيلَ نَيْ جَفَّ فَسُمِّيَ نَيْجَفَّ ثُمَّ صَارَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يُسَمُّونَهُ نَجَفَ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ أَخَفَّ عَلَى أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ.
It got torn into pieces and pieces up to the land of Syria and became fine sand, and after that it became a large sea, and that sea was named as the sea of ‘Nayy’. Then it dried up after that, so it was said, ‘Nayy had dried up!’ So it was named as ‘Nayjaf’ (Nayy dried up). Then after that it became to be named as ‘Najaf’ because it was lighter upon the tongues (easier to pronounce)’’.[23]
2- ع، علل الشرائع مَاجِيلَوَيْهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ: إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ص مَرَّ بِبَانِقْيَا فَكَانَ يُزَلْزَلُ بِهَا فَبَاتَ بِهَا فَأَصْبَحَ الْقَوْمُ وَ لَمْ يُزَلْزَلْ بِهِمْ فَقَالُوا مَا هَذَا وَ لَيْسَ حَدَثٌ
(The book) ‘Ilal Al Sharaie’ – Majaylawiya, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Usman Bin Isa, from Abu Al Jaroud raising it to,
‘Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, said: ‘Ibrahim-as passed by Baniqya. There used to be tremors at it. He-as spent the night at it. The people woke up in the morning and there had been no tremors with them. They said, ‘What is this, and there hasn’t been anything unusual?’
قَالُوا نَزَلَ هَاهُنَا شَيْخٌ وَ مَعَهُ غُلَامٌ لَهُ
They said, ‘An old man has lodged over here and there is a slave of his with him!’
قَالَ فَأَتَوْهُ فَقَالُوا لَهُ يَا هَذَا إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُزَلْزَلُ بِنَا كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ وَ لَمْ يُزَلْزَلْ بِنَا هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ فَبِتْ عِنْدَنَا
He-asws said: ‘They came to him-saww. They said to him-as, ‘O you! There used to be tremors with us every night and there have been no tremors with us this night, so spend a night with us!’
فَبَاتَ وَ لَمْ يُزَلْزَلْ بِهِمْ فَقَالُوا أَقِمْ عِنْدَنَا وَ نَحْنُ نُجْرِي عَلَيْكَ مَا أَحْبَبْتَ
He-as spent a night and there were no tremors with them. They said, ‘Stay with us and we will flow (bestow) upon you-as whatever you-as like!’
قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ تَبِيعُونِّي هَذَا الظَّهْرَ وَ لَا يُزَلْزَلُ بِكُمْ
He-as said: ‘No, but sell to me-asws this land and there will be no tremors for you!
قَالُوا فَهُوَ لَكَ
They said, ‘It is yours-as!’
قَالَ لَا آخُذُهُ إِلَّا بِالشِّرَى
He-as said: ‘I-as will not take it except by the buying!’
قَالُوا فَخُذْهُ بِمَا شِئْتَ
They said, ‘Take it for whatever you-as desire to!’
فَاشْتَرَاهُ بِسَبْعِ نِعَاجٍ وَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَحْمِرَةٍ فَلِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَ بَانِقْيَا لِأَنَّ النِّعَاجَ بِالنَّبَطِيَّةِ نِقْيَا
He-as bought it for seven sheep and four donkeys. For that reason it was named as ‘Baniqya’ because the sheep in the Nabatean (language) is ‘Niqya’.
قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ غُلَامُهُ يَا خَلِيلَ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا تَصْنَعُ بِهَذَا الظَّهْرِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ زَرْعٌ وَ لَا ضَرْعٌ
He-asws said: ‘His slave said to him-as: ‘O friend of the Beneficent! What will you-as do with this land? There are neither any crops in it nor udders (milk)!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ اسْكُتْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَحْشُرُ مِنْ هَذَا الظَّهْرِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفاً يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ يُشَفَّعُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ لِكَذَا وَ كَذَا.
He-as said to him-as: ‘Be quiet! Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Gather seventy thousand from this land. They will be entering the Paradise without any Reckoning. The man from them will intercede for the like of that and that (many others)’’.[24]

(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbar’ – Al Muzaffar Al Alawy, from Ibn Al Ayyashi, from his father, from Al-Husayn Bin Ishkeyb, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hammad, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan, from Sadaqa Bin Sadaqa Bin Hassan, from Mihran Bin Abu Nasr, from Yaqoub Bin Shueyb, from Abu Saeed Al Iskaf,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws regarding Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: and We Sheltered them both on a high ground with tranquillity and a spring [23:50]. He-asws said: ‘The ‘high ground’ is Al-Kufa, and the ‘tranquillity’ is the Masjid, and the ‘spring’ is the Euphrates’’.[25]
بيان: الضمير راجع إلى عيسى و مريم ع و ذهب المفسرون إلى أن الربوة أرض بيت المقدس فإنها مرتفعة أو دمشق أو رملة فلسطين أو مصر و قالوا ذات قرار أي مستقر من الأرض منبسطة و قيل ذات ثمار و زروع فإن ساكنيها يستقرون فيها لأجلها و يقال ماء معين ظاهر جار و ما ورد في النص هو المعتمد.
Explanation – The pronoun refers to Isa-as and Maryam-as. The interpreters have gone to that ‘the high ground’ refers to Bayt Al-Maqdis for it is elevated, or to Damascus, or to the coastal plain of Palestine, or to Egypt. They said ‘tranquillity’ refers to a settled or flat land, and some have said it refers to a place with fruits and crops, as its inhabitants settle there for its produce. It is said ‘spring’ is apparent flowing water, and what has been referred in the next, it is reliable.

‘From Ali-asws having said: ‘The water is chief of the drinks of the world and the Hereafter, and there are four rivers in the world which are from the Paradise – the Euphrates, and the Nile, and Sayhan, and Jayhan. The Euphrates is the ‘water’, and the Nile is the ‘honey’, and Sayhan is the ‘wine’, and Jayhan is the ‘milk’’.[27]
بيان: لعل المراد أن تلك الأسماء مشتركة بينها و بين أنهار الجنة و فضلها لكون التسمية بها من جهة الوحي و الإلهام و يحتمل أن يدخلها شيء من تلك الأنهار التي في الجنة كما ورد في الفرات.
Explanation – Perhaps the intended meaning is that those names are shared between them and the rivers of Paradise and their virtues, as the naming comes from Revelation and Inspiration. It is also possible that something from those rivers in Paradise could flow into them, as was mentioned in the case of the Euphrates.

‘When Abu Abdullah-asws arrived at Al-Kufa in the era of Abu Al-Abbas, he-asws came upon his-asws animal in travel clothes until he-asws paused upon a bridge of Al-Kufa, then said to his-asws slave: ‘Quench me-asws!’
فَأَخَذَ كُوزَ مَلَّاحٍ فَغَرَفَ لَهُ بِهِ فَأَسْقَاهُ فَشَرِبَ وَ الْمَاءُ يَسِيلُ مِنْ شِدْقَيْهِ عَلَى لِحْيَتِهِ وَ ثِيَابِهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَزَادَهُ فَزَادَهُ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ
He took a fisherman’s cup and scooped it for him-asws with it and quenched him-asws. He-asws drank and the water was dripping from his-asws cheeks upon his-asws beard and his-asws clothes. Then he-asws sought an increase. He increased it. He-asws praised Allah-azwj.

Then he-asws said: ‘Water of a river, how might is its Blessing! Indeed, there is dropping into it every day seven drops from the Paradise!

Explanation – Perhaps the intended meaning is that through the mediation of the spirit of Muhammad-saww, Allah-azwj Revealed what He-azwj Revealed in this place, and it is compared to a tree because the branches of Imamate extend from it, and the fruits of knowledge are gathered from them-asws until the end of time, as mentioned in the interpretation of His-azwj Words: an example of a good word as being like a good tree, [14:24] – the Verse.

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Two rivers are believers and two rivers disbelievers. The two Kafir rivers are the river Balkh and Tigris; and the believing rivers are Nile of Egypt and the Euphrates, so sprinkle your children with water of the Euphrates!’’[43]
بيان: قال الجزري في شرح هذا الحديث جعلهما مؤمنين على التشبيه لأنهما يفيضان على الأرض فيسقيان الحرث بلا مئونة و جعل الآخرين كافرين لأنهما لا يسقيان و لا ينتفع بهما إلا بمئونة و كلفة فهذان في الخير و النفع كالمؤمنين و هذان في قلة النفع كالكافرين.
Explanation – Al-Jazari said in the explanation of this hadith that he likened them to believers because they flow onto the earth, watering the crops without any effort. He likened the others to disbelievers because they do not water or benefit unless with effort and hardship. Thus, these two are like believers in goodness and benefit, while those two are like disbelievers in the lack of benefit.

Explanation – ‘Its beginning will be returned to its end’ (with emphasis in the passive form) is a metaphor for its order and prosperity, or it may refer to the concept of return (Raj’at), meaning that the early members of this nation who were buried there will return to the later ones, referring to Al-Qaim-ajfj and his-ajfj companions. If read in the active form with a lighter pronunciation, it still carries this latter meaning. On both interpretations, it could also be a metaphor for its destruction and the occurrence of tribulations within it.

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – Usman Bin Isa, raising it, said,
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Two spouts from the spouts of Paradise pour into your river!’
وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لَوْ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ أَمْيَالٌ لَأَتَيْنَاهُ نَسْتَشْفِي بِهِ.
And Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Even if there were miles between me-asws and it (The Euphrates), we-asws would have (still) gone to it seeking to be healed by it’’.[47]

(The book) ‘Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Badr Bin Khaleel Al Asady, from a man from the people of Syria who said,
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, said: ‘The first spot Allah-azwj has been worshipped upon is the land of Al-Kufa. When Allah-azwj Commanded the Angels to perform Sajdah to Adam-as, they did Sajdah upon the land of Al-Kufa’’.[48]
أَقُولُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الدَّيْلَمِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ إِرْشَادِ الْقُلُوبِ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: الْغَرِيُّ قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي كَلَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مُوسى تَكْلِيماً وَ قَدَّسَ عَلَيْهِ عِيسَى تَقْدِيساً وَ اتَّخَذَ عَلَيْهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلًا وَ مُحَمَّداً ص حَبِيباً وَ جَعَلَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّينَ مَسْكَناً.
I say, ‘The Sheykh Al-Hassan Bin Abu Al-Hassan Al Daylami said in the book ‘Irshad Al Quloub’,
‘It is reported from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Al-Ghary is a piece of the mountain which Allah-azwj Spoke to Musa-as in a conversation, and Sanctified Isa-as upon it a sanctification, and Took Ibrahim-as upon it as a friend, and Muhammad-saww as a Belove, and Made is a dwelling for the Prophets-as’’.[49]
وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع نَظَرَ إِلَى ظَهْرِ الْكُوفَةِ فَقَالَ مَا أَحْسَنَ مَنْظَرَكِ وَ أَطْيَبَ قَعْرَكِ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ قَبْرِي بِهَا.
And it is reported that Amir Al-Momineen-asws looked at the back of Al-Kufa. He-asws said: ‘How excellent is your view, and how pleasant is your lowland! O Allah-azwj, Make my-asws grave to be at it!’’[50]
و من خواص تربته إسقاط عذاب القبر و ترك محاسبة منكر و نكير للمدفون هناك كما وردت به الأخبار الصحيحة عن أهل البيت ع.
And from the specialities of its soil is dropping of punishment in the grave, and neglects of question of Munkar and Nakeer for the one buried over there just as the correct Ahadeeth have referred with from Al-Sadiq-asws.
و روي عن القاضي بن بدر الهمداني الكوفي و كان رجلا صالحا قال كنت في جامع الكوفة ذات ليلة و كانت ليلة مطيرة فدق باب مسلم جماعة ففتح لهم و ذكر بعضهم أن معهم جنازة فأدخلوها و جعلوها على الصفة التي تجاه مسلم بن عقيل ع
And it is reported from the judge Ibn Badr Al-Hamdani Al-Kufi, and he was a righteous man, he said, ‘One rainy night, I was in the Grand Mosque of Kufa when a group of people knocked on the door of Muslim. He opened it for them, and some of them mentioned that they had a funeral with them. They brought it in and placed it on the platform facing the grave of Muslim Ibn Aqeel-as.
ثم إن أحدهم نعس فرأى في منامه قائلا يقول لآخر ما تبصره حتى نبصر هل لنا معه حساب و ينبغي أن نأخذه منه عجلا قبل أن يتعدى الرصافة فما يبقى لنا معه طريق فانتبه و حكى لهم المنام فقال خذوه عجلا فأخذوه و مضوا به في الحال إلى المشهد الشريف.
Then one of them dozed off and saw in his dream someone saying to another, ‘Do you not see him? Let us first check if we have any Reckoning with him. We must take him quickly before he crosses Al-Rasafa, for after that, we will have no access to him’. He awoke and told the others about his dream, saying, ‘Take him quickly!’ So, they immediately took the body and carried it to the noble Shrine.
و روى جماعة من صلحاء المشهد الشريف الغروي أنه رأى كل واحد من القبور التي في المشهد الشريف و ظاهره قد خرج منه حبل ممتد متصل بالقبة الشريفة صلوات الله على مشرفها.
And it is reported by a group of righteous people from the noble shrine of Al-Ghary narrated that each of them saw a rope extending from every grave within and around the sacred Shrine, connecting to the honoured dome. May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon the one who ennobles it.
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ الْخَلْوَةَ بِنَفْسِهِ أَتَى إِلَى طَرَفِ الْغَرِيِّ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ هُنَاكَ مُشْرِفٌ عَلَى النَّجَفِ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ مِنَ الْبَرِيَّةِ رَاكِبٌ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ وَ قُدَّامَهُ جَنَازَةٌ فَحِينَ رَأَى عَلِيّاً ع قَصَدَهُ حَتَّى وَصَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ وَ قَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ
And it is reported from Amir Al-Momineen-asws, whenever he-asws wanted the seclusion with himself-asws came to an end of Al-Ghary. One day when he-asws was over there overlooking upon Al-Najaf, when there was a man who had come from the desert riding upon a she-camel and in front of him was a bier. When he saw Ali-asws, he aimed for him-asws until he arrived to him-asws. He greeted unto him-asws, so he-asws responded the greeting to him and said: ‘From where?’
قَالَ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ
He said, ‘From Al Yemen’.
قَالَ وَ مَا هَذِهِ الْجَنَازَةُ الَّتِي مَعَكَ
He-asws said: ‘And what is this bier which is with you?’
قَالَ جَنَازَةُ أَبِي لِأَدْفِنَهُ فِي هَذِهِ الْأَرْضِ
He said, ‘Bier of my father. I want to bury him in this land’.
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِمَ لَا دَفَنْتَهُ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ
Ali-asws said: ‘Why didn’t you bury him in your land?’
قَالَ أَوْصَى بِذَلِكَ وَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ يُدْفَنُ هُنَاكَ رَجُلٌ يُدْعَى فِي شَفَاعَتِهِ مِثْلُ رَبِيعَةَ وَ مُضَرَ
He said, ‘He had bequeathed with that and said a man will be buried there, the (number) like of the (tribes) of Rabie and Muzar will call him-asws regarding his-asws intercession’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ ع أَ تَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ
He-asws said to him: ‘Do you know that man?’
قَالَ لَا
He said, ‘No’.
قَالَ أَنَا وَ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَا وَ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَا وَ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ
He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj, I-asws am that man! By Allah-azwj, I-asws am that man! By Allah-azwj, I-asws am that man, so bury (him)!’
فَادْفِنْ فَقَامَ وَ دَفَنَهُ.
He-asws stood up and buried him’’.[51]
و من خواص ذلك الحرم الشريف أن جميع المؤمنين يحشرون فيه.
And from specialities of that is the noble sanctuary, entirety of the Momineen will be Resurrected in it.
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ يَمُوتُ فِي شَرْقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ غَرْبِهَا إِلَّا وَ حَشَرَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ إِلَى وَادِي السَّلَامِ.
And it is reported from Abu Abdullah-asws, he-asws said: ‘There is none from a Momin who dies in east of the earth or its west, except Allah-azwj will Resurrect his soul to the valley of peace (Al Wady Al Salaam in Al-Najaf)’’.[52]
و جاء في الأخبار و الآثار أنه بين وادي النجف و الكوفة كأني بهم قعود يتحدثون على منابر من نور و الأخبار في هذا المعنى كثيرة انتهى كلامه ره.
It has been mentioned in narrations and reports, ‘Between the valley of Najaf and Kufa, it is as if I see them sitting and conversing on pulpits of light’. There are many reports on this subject. His statement ended here, may Allah-azwj Mercy.

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan, from Al-Husayn Bin Rashid, from Al Murtajil Bin Ma’mar, from Zareeh Al Muhariby, and Abaya Al Asady, from Habbat Al Arny who said,
‘I went out with Amir Al-Momineen-asws to the back (of Al-Kufa). He-asws paused by Wady Al Salaam (graveyard). It is as if he-asws was addressing the people. I stood with his-asws standing until I was tired. Then I sat down until I was fed up. Then I stood up until it afflicted me what had afflicted me the first time. Then I sat down until I was fed up.
ثُمَّ قُمْتُ وَ جَمَعْتُ رِدَائِي فَقُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنِّي قَدْ أَشْفَقْتُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ طُولِ الْقِيَامِ فَرَاحَةً سَاعَةً ثُمَّ طَرَحْتُ الرِّدَاءَ لِيَجْلِسَ عَلَيْهِ
Then I stood up and gathered my robe. I said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! I feel pity upon you-asws from the prolonged standing, so rest for a while!’ Then I dropped my robe for him-asws to be seated upon it.
فَقَالَ يَا حَبَّةُ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا مُحَادَثَةُ مُؤْمِنٍ أَوْ مُؤَانَسَتُهُ
He-asws said: ‘O Habbat, it was only a discourse of a Momin or comforting him’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَذَلِكَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and they are like that?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ لَوْ كُشِفَ لَكَ لَرَأَيْتَهُمْ حَلَقاً حَلَقاً مُحْتَبِينَ يَتَحَادَثُونَ
He-asws said: ‘Yes. If the covering were to be removed, you will see them in circles and circles wrapped in garments, discussing’.
فَقُلْتُ أَجْسَامٌ أَمْ أَرْوَاحٌ
I said, ‘(Are they) bodies or souls?’
فَقَالَ أَرْوَاحٌ وَ مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ يَمُوتُ فِي بُقْعَةٍ مِنْ بِقَاعِ الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا قِيلَ لِرُوحِهِ الْحَقِي بِوَادِي السَّلَامِ وَ إِنَّهَا لَبُقْعَةٌ مِنْ جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ.
He-asws said: ‘Souls, and there is none from a Momin who dies in a spot from spots of the earth except it is said to his soul, ‘Join at Wady Al Salaam!’, and it is a spot from the Gardens of Eden’’.[53]
27- كا، الكافي الْعِدَّةُ عَنْ سَهْلٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ أَخِي بِبَغْدَادَ وَ أَخَافُ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِهَا
(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – The number, from Sahl, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Ahmad Bin Umar raising it,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘My brother is at Baghdad and I fear that he will die at it!’
فَقَالَ مَا تُبَالِي حَيْثُ مَا مَاتَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَبْقَى مُؤْمِنٌ فِي شَرْقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ غَرْبِهَا إِلَّا حَشَرَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ إِلَى وَادِي السَّلَامِ
He-asws said: ‘It does not matter where one dies! Indeed, there does not remain any Momin in east of the earth and its west except Allah-azwj will resurrect his soul to Wady Al Salaam!’
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ وَ أَيْنَ وَادِي السَّلَامِ
I said to him-asws, ‘And where is Wady Al Salaam?’
قَالَ ظَهْرُ الْكُوفَةِ أَمَا إِنِّي كَأَنِّي بِهِمْ حَلَقٌ حَلَقٌ قُعُودٌ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ.
He-asws said: ‘At the back of Al-Kufa. As for me-asws, it is as if I-asws am with them sitting in circles and circles discussing!’’[54]
أَقُولُ رَوَى سَيِّدْ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ فِي كِتَابِ الْغَيْبَةِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ مِنْ أَصْلِ كِتَابِهِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَصْبَغَ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ: خَرَجَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِلَى ظَهْرِ الْكُوفَةِ فَلَحِقْنَاهُ فَقَالَ سَلُونِي قَبْلَ أَنْ تَفْقِدُونِي فَقَدْ مُلِئَتِ الْجَوَانِحُ مِنِّي عِلْماً
I say, ‘It is reported by Syed Ali Bin Abdul Hameed in ‘Kitab Al Ghayba’, by his chain to Al Fazl Bin Shazan, from the original of his book, by his chain to Asbagh Bin Nubata who said,
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws went out to the back of Al-Kufa. We caught up with him-asws. He-asws said: ‘Ask me-asws before you lose me-asws, for my-asws wings (two sides) are filled with knowledge!’
كُنْتُ إِذَا سَأَلْتُ أُعْطِيتُ وَ إِذَا سَكَتُّ ابْتُدِيتُ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى بَطْنِهِ وَ قَالَ أَعْلَاهُ عِلْمٌ وَ أَسْفَلُهُ ثُفْلٌ
Whenever I have asked, I was given, and whenever I was silent he-asws had initiated. Then he-asws wiped his-asws hand upon his-asws belly and said: ‘Its top part holds knowledge, and its bottom hold waste!’
ثُمَّ مَرَّ حَتَّى أَتَى الْغَرِيَّيْنِ فَلَحِقْنَاهُ وَ هُوَ مستلقي [مُسْتَلْقٍ] عَلَى الْأَرْضِ بِجَسَدِهِ لَيْسَ تَحْتَهُ ثَوْبٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَنْبَرٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَ لَا أَبْسُطُ تَحْتَكَ ثَوْبِي
Then he-asws passed on until he-asws came to Al Ghariyeyn. We caught up with him-asws and he-asws was lying upon the ground with his-asws body. There not being any cloth beneath him-asws. Qanbar said to him-asws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Shall I spread my cloth beneath you-asws?’
قَالَ لَا هَلْ هِيَ إِلَّا تُرْبَةُ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ من أحمته [مُزَاحَمَتُهُ] فِي مَجْلِسِهِ
He-asws said: ‘No! Isn’t this only soil of a Momin, and the one who competes with him in his gathering?’
فَقَالَ الْأَصْبَغُ تُرْبَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ قَدْ عَرَفْنَاهَا كَانَتْ أَوْ تَكُونُ فَمَا من أحمته [مُزَاحَمَتُهُ] بِمَجْلِسِهِ
Al Asbagh said, ‘The soil of a Momin, we have understood it, whether he was or will be, but what is ‘one who competes with him in his gathering’?’
فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ نُبَاتَةَ لَوْ كُشِفَ لَكُمْ لَأَلْفَيْتُمْ أَرْوَاحَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي هَذِهِ حَلَقاً حَلَقاً يَتَزَاوَرُونَ وَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنَّ فِي هَذَا الظَّهْرِ رُوحَ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ بِوَادِي بَرَهُوتَ رُوحَ كُلِّ كَافِرٍ
He-asws said: ‘O Ibn Nubata! If it was uncovered for you, you would have found souls of the Momineen in this (place) in circles by circles visiting each other and discussing with each other! This is the land of the soul of every Momin, while in the valley of Barhout is the soil of every Kafir’.
ثُمَّ رَكِبَ بَغْلَهُ وَ انْتَهَى إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ وَ كَانَ بِخَزَفٍ وَ دِنَانٍ وَ طِينٍ فَقَالَ وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ هَدَمَكَ وَ وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ يَسْتَهْدِمُكَ وَ وَيْلٌ لِبَانِيكَ بِالْمَطْبُوخِ الْمُغَيَّرِ قِبْلَةَ نُوحٍ- وَ طُوبَى لِمَنْ شَهِدَ هَدْمَهُ مَعَ الْقَائِمِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي أُولَئِكَ خَيْرُ الْأُمَّةِ مَعَ أَبْرَارِ الْعِتْرَةِ.
Then he-asws rode his-asws mule and ended to the Masjid. He-asws looked at it, and it was of pottery and jars and clay. He-asws said: ‘Woe be to the one who demolished you, and woe be to the one will be demolishing you, and woe be to your builders with the altered baked clay facing Noah-as, and beatitude be for one who will witness its demolition with Al-Qaim-ajfj from People-asws of my-asws Household! They are best of the communities with the righteous family!’’[55]

‘I went out with Al-Sadiq-asws from Al-Medina intending Al-Kufa. When we surpassed Al-Hira, he-asws said: ‘O Safwan!’
قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
I said, ‘At your-asws service, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww!’
قَالَ تُخْرِجُ الْمَطَايَا إِلَى الْقَائِمِ وَ حد [جِدَّ] الطَّرِيقَ إِلَى الْغَرِيِّ
He-asws said: ‘The mounts will be brought out to Al-Qaim, and a limit of the main road is to Al-Ghary.
قَالَ صَفْوَانُ فَلَمَّا صِرْنَا إِلَى قَائِمِ الْغَرِيِّ أَخْرَجَ رِشَاءً مَعَهُ دَقِيقاً قَدْ عُمِلَ مِنَ الْكِنْبَارِ ثُمَّ أَبْعَدَ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ مَغْرِباً خُطًى كَثِيرَةً ثُمَّ مَدَّ ذَلِكَ الرِّشَاءَ حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَهَى إِلَى آخِرِهِ وَقَفَ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَأَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا كَفّاً مِنْ تُرَابٍ فَشَمَّهُ مَلِيّاً ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ يَمْشِي حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ الْقَبْرِ الْآنَ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ إِلَى التُّرْبَةِ فَقَبَضَ مِنْهَا قَبْضَةً ثُمَّ شَمَّهَا ثُمَّ شَهَقَ شَهْقَةً حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا
Safwan said, ‘When we came to Al-Qaim Al-Ghary, he-asws took out a small bundle of flour, (the container was) made from coconut fibre. Then he-asws moved away from Al-Qaim to the west, walking many steps. He-asws stretched the bundle of flour until he-asws reached the end of it. He-asws stopped, then struck the ground with his-asws hand and took a handful of soil, which he-asws smelled for a long time. Then he-asws began walking again until he-asws reached the location of the grave. He-asws struck the blessed soil with his-asws hand and took a handful of it, smelled it, and then exhaled with a deep sigh, to the point that I thought he-asws had left this world.
فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ هَاهُنَا وَ اللَّهِ مَشْهَدُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع
When he-asws awoke, he-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj over here is the burial site of Amir Al-Momineen-asws!’
ثُمَّ خَطَّ تَخْطِيطاً فَقُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص- مَا مَنَعَ الْأَبْرَارَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ مِنْ إِظْهَارِ مَشْهَدِهِ
Then he-asws drew a marking line. I said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! What prevents the righteous ones from People-asws of the Household to reveal his-asws burial site?’
قَالَ حَذَراً مِنْ بَنِي مَرْوَانَ وَ الْخَوَارِجِ أَنْ تَحْتَالَ فِي أَذَاهُ
He-asws said: ‘Caution from the clan of Marwan and the Kharijites who might plot in hurting him-asws’.
قَالَ صَفْوَانُ فَسَأَلْتُ الصَّادِقَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع- كَيْفَ تَزُورُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع-
Safwan said, ‘I asked Al-Sadiq Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘How should one visit Amir Al-Momineen-asws?’
فَقَالَ يَا صَفْوَانُ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ ذَلِكَ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ الْبَسْ ثَوْبَيْنِ طَاهِرَيْنِ غَسِيلَيْنِ أَوْ جَدِيدَيْنِ وَ نَلْ شَيْئاً مِنَ الطِّيبِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَنَلْ أَجْزَأَكَ فَإِذَا خَرَجْتَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِكَ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ مِنْ مَنْزِلِي- وَ تَمَّمَ الزِّيَارَةَ وَ تَرَكْتُهَا لِطُولِهَا.
He-asws said: ‘O Safwan! Whenever you want that, bathe and wear two clean clothes, either washed (used) or new, and take something from the perfume. If you don’t take, it will suffice you. When you go out from your house, say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I am going out from my house’ – and complete the Ziyarat, and I have left it out due to its length’’.[56]
2- قَالَ وَ ذَكَرَ صَاحِبُ كِتَابِ الْأَنْوَارِ يَرْوِيهَا يُوسُفُ الْكَاتِبُ وَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع إِذَا أَرَدْتَ الزِّيَارَةَ لِقَبْرِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَاغْتَسِلْ حَيْثُ مَنْزِلُكَ وَ قُلْ حِينَ تَعْبُرُهُ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ سَعْيِي مَشْكُوراً- وَ ذَكَرَ الزِّيَارَةَ تَكُونُ كُرَّاسَتَيْنِ قَطْعَ الثُّمُنِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ آخِرُهَا اللَّهُمَّ اخْتِمْ لِي بِالسَّعَادَةِ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ الْخِيَرَةِ.
He said, ‘And author of the book ‘Al Anwaar’ mentioned reporting of Yusuf the scribe, and Muawiya Bin Ammar, altogether,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘When you intend to visit the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, bathe wherever is your house and say when you cross it, ‘O Allah-azwj! Make my striving to be Appreciated’ – and he mentioned the Ziyarat being of two pages, a piece of the eighth or more than that, and its end is – ‘O Allah-azwj! End for me with the good fortune and the Forgiveness and the goodness’’.[57]
3- وَ ذَكَرَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمَشْهَدِيِّ فِي مَزَارِهِ أَنَّ الصَّادِقَ ع عَلَّمَ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ هَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةَ وَ قَالَ إِذَا أَتَيْتَ مَشْهَدَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَاغْتَسِلْ لِلزِّيَارَةِ وَ الْبَسْ أَنْظَفَ ثِيَابِكَ وَ شَمَّ شَيْئاً مِنَ الطِّيبِ وَ امْشِ وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّكِينَةَ وَ الْوَقَارَ
And it is mentioned by Muhammad Bin Al Mashhady in his ‘Mazaar’ –
‘Al-Sadiq-asws had taught this Ziyarat to Muhammad Bin Muslim Al Saqafy and said: ‘When you come to the shrine of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, bathe for the visitation and wear your clean clothes, and smell something from the perfume, and walk, and upon you should be the calmness and the dignity.
فَإِذَا وَصَلْتَ إِلَى بَابِ السَّلَامِ فَاسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَ كَبِّرِ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى خِيَرَةِ اللَّهِ- وَ ذَكَرَ الزِّيَارَةَ بِطُولِهَا.
When you arrive to Al Salaam door, face the Qiblah and exclaim Takbeer of Allah-azwj the Exalted thirty times and said, ‘The greeting be upon Rasool-Allah-saww! The greeting be upon the Choice of Allah-azwj’ – and he mentioned the Ziyarat in its (full) length’’.[58]
4- وَ ذَكَرَ الْعَمُّ السَّعِيدُ فِي مَزَارِهِ أَنَّ الصَّادِقَ ع زَارَ بِهَا عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَوْمَ سَابِعَ عَشَرَ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ- وَ هِيَ الَّتِي رَوَاهَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ- وَ لَكِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِي الرِّوَايَتَيْنِ اخْتِلَافاً كَثِيراً.
And an uncle of Al Saeed mentioned in his ‘Mazaar’ –
‘Al-Sadiq-asws had performed Ziyarat with it of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws on the 17th day of Rabbi Al-Awwal, and it is the Ziyarat which Muhammad Bin Muslim had performed, but I saw many difference in the two Ziyaraats’’.[59]

(The book) ‘Farhat Al-Ghary’ – Abu Nueym Al-Hassan Bin Ahmad Bin Maysam, from Al Sakuni, from Mansour Bin Hazim, from Suleyman Bin Khalid and Muhammad Bin Muslim who both said,
‘We went to Al-Hira. We sought permission and entered to see Abu Abdullah-asws. We seated to him-asws and asked him-asws about Amir Al-Momineen-asws. He-asws said: ‘When you go out and surpass Al-Suweya and Al-Qaim, and you come to one or two shots of an arrow, you will see white mounds. Between these is a grave the floods have eroded. That is the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws’.
قَالَ فَغَدَوْنَا مِنْ غَدٍ فَجُزْنَا الثُّوَيَّةَ وَ الْقَائِمَ وَ إِذَا ذَكَوَاتٌ بِيضٌ فَجِئْنَاهَا فَإِذَا الْقَبْرُ كَمَا وَصَفَ قَدْ جَرَفَهُ السَّيْلُ فَنَزَلْنَا فَسَلَّمْنَا وَ صَلَّيْنَا عِنْدَهُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفْنَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ غَدَوْنَا إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَوَصَفْنَا لَهُ فَقَالَ أَصَبْتُمْ أَصَابَ اللَّهُ بِكُمُ الرَّشَادَ.
He (the narrator) said. ‘We went out in the morning and went beyond Al-Suweya and Al-Qaim, and there were white mounts. We went to these, and there was the grave just as he-asws had described; the flood had eroded it. We greeted and prayed Salat by it, then we left. When it was the next morning, we went to Abu Abdullah-asws and described it to him-asws. He-asws said: ‘You got it right! May Allah-azwj Guide (others) to the correctness through you!’’[60]

(The book) ‘Farhat Al-Ghary’ – Yahya Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Abu Al Barakaat, from Al-Husayn Bin Ratba, from Abu Ali Bin Sheykh Al Taaifa, from his father, from Al Mufeed, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Dawood, from Muhammad Bin Bakran, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al Farazdaq, from Humeyd Al Hajjal, from Muhammad Bin Hasheesh, from Abdul Rahma Bin Al Qasim, from Ahmad Bin Abdullah Al Aamiry, from Abu Moamar Al Hilali, from Abu Qurrah, a man from the companions of Zayd Bin Ali. He was from the friends, and we were counting him as being from the good ones. He said,
انْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَ زَيْدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ نَحْوَ الْجَبَّانَةِ فَصَلَّى لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا قُرَّةَ حَدِّثْنِي أَيُّ مَوْضِعٍ هَذَا
‘I and Zayd son of Ali-asws (Bin Al-Husayn-asws) went towards Al Jabbana. He prayed length of the night, then said, ‘O Abu Qurra, narrate to me, which place is this?’
قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَا نَدْرِي
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘We don’t know’.
قَالَ نَحْنُ قُرْبَ قَبْرِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ- يَا أَبَا قُرَّةَ نَحْنُ فِي رَوْضَةٍ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ.
He said, ‘We are nearby the grave of Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. O Abu Qurra! We are in a garden from the Gardens of Paradise!’’[61]
7- حة، فرحة الغري قَرَأْتُ بِخَطِّ السَّيِّدِ الشَّرِيفِ الْفَاضِلِ أَبِي يَعْلَى الْجَعْفَرِيِّ مَا صُورَتُهُ حَدَّثَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ يَحْيَى فَجَاءَهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ يَحْيَى ابْنُ أَخِيهِ فَسَأَلَهُ وَ أَنَا أَسْمَعُ فَقَالَ تَعْرِفُ فِي حَدِيثِ قَبْرِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع عَنْ حَدِيثِ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ
(The book) ‘Farhat Al-Ghary’ – I read in the handwriting of the Seyyid the noble, the meritorious Abu Ya’la Al Ja’fari, its outline is, ‘It is narrated by Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Sahl who said,
‘I was in the presence of Al-Hassan Bin Yahya. Ahmad Bin Isa Bin Yahya, a son of his brother, came to him. He asked him and I was listening. He said, ‘Do you know in a Hadeeth the (location of) the grave of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, from the Hadeeth by Safwan Al-Jammal?’
فَقَالَ نَعَمْ أَخْبَرَنِي مَوْلًى لَنَا عَنْ مَوْلًى لِبَنِي الْعَبَّاسِ- قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْمَنْصُورُ خُذْ مَعَكَ مِعْوَلًا وَ زِنْبِيلًا وَ امْضِ مَعِي
He said, ‘Yes. A slave of ours informed me from a slave of the clan of Al-Abbas. He said, ‘Abu Ja’far Al Mansour (caliph) said to me, ‘Take a pickaxe and a basket and come with me!’
قَالَ فَأَخَذْتُ مَا قَالَ وَ ذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ لَيْلًا حَتَّى أَتَى الْغَرِيَّ فَإِذَا بِقَبْرٍ فَقَالَ احْفِرْ
He said, ‘I took what he had said, and I went with him at night until he came to Al-Ghary. There was a grave. He said, ‘Dig!’
فَحَفَرْتُ حَتَّى بَلَغْتُ اللَّحْدَ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا قَبْرٌ قَدْ ظَهَرَ
I dug until I reached the sepulchre (Lahad). I said, ‘This is a grave which has appeared!’
فَقَالَ طُمَّ ذَلِكَ هَذَا قَبْرُ عَلِيٍّ ع إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَعْلَمَ
He said, ‘Cover it up, this is the grave of Ali-asws! But rather I wanted to know’.
وَ هَذَا لِأَنَّ الْمَنْصُورَ يَسْمَعُ بِذَلِكَ عَنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ ع فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْتَبْرِئَ الْحَالَ فَاتَّضَحَتْ.
And this is because Al-Mansour had heard of that from People-asws of the Household, so he wanted to verify the situation, so it becomes clear’’.[62]
بيان: قوله عن حديث صفوان أي القبر الذي عرفه الناس و أخذوه من حديث صفوان حيث روى تعيين هذا الموضع.
Explanation – His words, ‘from the Hadeeth by Safwan’, i.e. the grave which the people recognise and they are taking it from a Hadeeth by Safwan where he reported the exact location of this place.

He said, ‘We are informed by Umar, from Abdullah, from his father, from Hisham Bin Muhammad, from Abu Bakr Bin Ayyash who said,

‘I asked Abu Al-Husayn and Al-Amsh and others. I said, ‘Has anyone informed you that he had prayed Salat upon Ali-asws and witnessed his-asws burial?’
قَالُوا لَا
They said, ‘No’.
فَسَأَلْتُ أَبَاكَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ السَّائِبِ فَقَالَ أُخْرِجَ بِهِ لَيْلًا وَ خَرَجَ بِهِ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ ع وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ فَدُفِنَ فِي ظَهْرِ الْكُوفَةِ
I asked your father Muhammad Bin Al-Saaib. He said, ‘He-asws was taken out with at night and there went out with him-asws, Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, and Muhammad Bin Al Hanafiya, and Abdullah son of Ja’far-asws, and a number of his-asws family members. He-asws was buried at the back of Al-Kufa’.
فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِيكَ لِمَ فُعِلَ بِهِ ذَلِكَ
I said to your father, ‘Why was that done to him-asws?’
قَالَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تَنْبُشَهُ الْخَوَارِجُ وَ غَيْرُهُمْ.
He said, ‘Fearing that the Kharijites and others would exhume him-asws’’.[63]

He-asws said: ‘No, but withhold him-la. When I-asws die, kill him-la! When I-asws am dead, bury me in this land in a grave of my-asws brothers-as (The Prophets-as) Hud-as and Salih-as’’.[64]

‘I asked Al-Reza-asws about the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws. He-asws said: ‘What have you heard from the elders?’
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ جَدِّكَ أَنَّهُ دُفِنَ بِنَجَفِ الْكُوفَةِ وَ رَوَاهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ ظَبْيَانَ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا
I said to him-asws, ‘Safwan Bin Mihran narrated to us from your-asws grandfather-asws he-asws was buried at Najaf Al-Kufa, and some of our companions have reported from Yunus Bin Zibyan with similar to this’.
فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّهُ دُفِنَ فِي مَسْجِدِكُمْ بِالْكُوفَةِ
He-asws said: ‘I-asws heard from him mentioning that he-asws was buried in your Masjid at Al-Kufa’.
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَيْشٍ لِمَنْ صَلَّى فِيهِ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ
I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Which thing from the merit is there for the one who prays Salat in it?’
فَقَالَ كَانَ جَعْفَرٌ ع يَقُولُ لَهُ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ ثَلَاثُ مِرَارٍ هَكَذَا وَ هَكَذَا بِيَدَيْهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَ تُجَاهٍ.
He-asws said: ‘Ja’far-asws had said to him of the merits three times, like this and like this!’ – by his-asws hand on his-asws right, and on his-asws left, and his-asws front’’.[66]
بيان: قوله ع سمعت منه أي من يونس بالواسطة و إنما لم يبين ع الجواب تقية قوله ثلاث مرار أي أشار ع إلى الجوانب الثلاثة مبينا أن له من الفضل ما يملأ تلك الجوانب إلى السماء تشبيها للمعقول بالمحسوس.
Explanation – His-asws saying ‘I-asws heard from him’, means that he-asws heard from Yunus through an intermediary. He-asws did not clarify the answer openly due to Taqiyyah. His-asws phrase ‘three times’ indicates that he-asws gestured towards the three directions, signifying that his-asws virtue extends to fill those directions up to the sky, using a sensory analogy to illustrate an abstract concept.

He said, ‘No’.

He said, ‘When he-asws passed away, Al-Hassan-asws carried him-asws. He-asws came with him-asws to the back of Al-Kufa nearby Al-Najaf, to the left of Al-Ghary and right of Al-Hira. He-asws buried him-asws between the white mounds’.

He said, ‘When it was afterwards, I went to the place and speculated about a place from it. Then I came to him and informed him. He said to me, ‘You have found it, may Allah-azwj Mercy you!’ – three times’’.[67]

He-asws said: ‘It is the mountain which the son of my-asws grandfather-as Noah-as had adhered with, so he said, ‘I will shelter to a mountain. It will protect me from the water’ [11:43]. So, Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Revealed to it: “O Najaf! Can one be protected with you from Me-azwj?” It disappeared in the earth and was cut (crumbled) up to the regions of Syria’.

‘I mentioned Yahya Bin Musa to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, and his objection for the one who goes to the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and he used to descend in a place called ‘Al-Suweya’ for leisure (picnic) to it.
أَلَا وَ قَبْرُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ قَلِيلًا وَ هُوَ الْمَوْضِعُ الَّذِي رَوَى صَفْوَانُ الْجَمَّالُ- أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَصَفَهُ لَهُ قَالَ لَهُ فِيمَا ذَكَرَ إِذَا انْتَهَيْتَ إِلَى الْغَرِيِّ ظَهْرِ الْكُوفَةِ فَاجْعَلْهُ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِكَ وَ تَوَجَّهْ عَلَى نَحْوِ النَّجَفِ وَ تَيَامَنْ قَلِيلًا فَإِذَا انْتَهَيْتَ إِلَى الذَّكَوَاتِ الْبِيضِ وَ الثَّنِيَّةُ أَمَامَهُ فَذَلِكَ قَبْرُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع
Indeed, and the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws is a little above that, and it is the place which Safwan Al-Jammal had reported that Abu Abdullah-asws had located it for him. He-asws said among what he mentioned: ‘When you end to Al-Ghary at the back of Al-Kufa, make it to be behind your back and head towards the area of Al-Najaf, and veering a little to the right. When you end to the white mounds and Al-Suweya is in front of it, so that is the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws!
وَ أَنَا آتِيهِ كَثِيراً وَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا مَنْ لَا يَرَى ذَلِكَ وَ يَقُولُ هُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُ هُوَ فِي الْقَصْرِ فَأَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَجْعَلَ قَبْرَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فِي الْقَصْرِ فِي مَنَازِلِ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُدْفَنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَ هُمْ يُرِيدُونَ سَتْرَهُ فَأَيُّنَا أَصْوَبُ
And I go to it frequently, and from our companions there is one who does not view that and he says, ‘It is in the Masjid’, and one of them says, ‘It is in the castle (government building)’. I refute upon them that Allah-azwj would not Make the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws in the castle (government building), in houses of the oppressors, and would let him-asws be buried in the Masjid while they are intending to conceal it. So, which of us is correct?’
قَالَ أَنْتَ أَصْوَبُ مِنْهُ أَخَذْتَ بِقَوْلِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع
He-asws said: ‘You are more correct than him! Take with the words of Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws!’
قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَا أَرَى أَحَداً مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا يَقُولُ بِقَوْلِكَ وَ لَا يَذْهَبُ مَذْهَبَكَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he-asws said to me: ‘O Abu Muhammad! I-asws don’t see anyone of our companions saying your words, nor going where you are going (with it)’.
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَ مَا ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ
I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Is that not something from Allah-azwj?’
قَالَ أَجَلْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُوَفِّقُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَ يُؤْمِنُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْ ذَلِكَ بِتَوْفِيقِ اللَّهِ وَ احْمَدْهُ عَلَيْهِ.
He-asws said: ‘Yes. Allah-azwj Inclines the one He-azwj so Desires to and he believes upon it, so say, ‘That by the Inclination of Allah-azwj and I praise Him-azwj upon that!’’[79]

(The book) ‘Kamil Al-Ziyaraat’ – By this chain from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Ali Bin Ahmad Bin Asheym, from Yunus Bin Zabyan, or from a man from Yunus Bin Zabyan who said,
‘I was with Abu Abdullah-asws at Al-Hira, in the days of his-asws arrival to Abu Ja’far (Al-Mansour) during a bright moonlit night. He-asws looked at the sky. He-asws said: ‘O Yunus! Can you see these stars how excellent these are? But, these are a security for inhabitants of the sky, and we-asws are a security for inhabitants of the earth!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا يُونُسُ فَمَرَّ بِإِسْرَاجِ الْبَغْلِ وَ الْحِمَارِ
Then he-asws said: ‘O Yunus! Go and saddle the mule and the donkey!’
فَلَمَّا أُسْرِجَا قَالَ يَا يُونُسُ أَيُّهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ الْبَغْلُ أَوِ الْحِمَارُ
When I had saddled them, he-asws said: ‘O Yunus! Which of the two is more beloved to you, the mule or the donkey?’
قَالَ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ الْبَغْلَ أَعْجَبُ لِقَوَّتِهِ فَقُلْتُ الْحِمَارُ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I thought that the mule was more amazing due to its strength, so I said, ‘The donkey’.
قَالَ أُحِبُّ أَنْ تُؤْثِرَنِي بِهِ
He-asws said: ‘I-asws would love it if you could prefer me with it!’
قُلْتُ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ
I said, ‘I have done so!’
فَرَكِبَ وَ رَكِبْتُ فَلَمَّا خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ قَالَ تَقَدَّمْ يَا يُونُسُ
He-asws rode and I rode. When we went out from Al-Hira, he-asws said: ‘Proceed, O Yunus!’
قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ يَقُولُ تَيَامَنْ تَيَاسَرْ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الذَّكَوَاتِ الْحُمْرِ قَالَ ع هُوَ الْمَكَانُ
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws kept directing, right, left. When we ended to the red mounds, he-asws said: ‘It is the place!’
قُلْتُ نَعَمْ
I said, ‘Yes’.
فَتَيَامَنَ ثُمَّ قَصَدَ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ وَ عَيْنٌ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ دَنَا مِنْ أَكَمَةٍ فَصَلَّى عِنْدَهَا ثُمَّ مَالَ عَلَيْهَا وَ بَكَى ثُمَّ مَالَ إِلَى أَكَمَةٍ دُونَهَا فَفَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا يُونُسُ افْعَلْ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلْتُ
He-asws veered to the right, then aimed to a place wherein was water and a spring. He-asws performed Wud’u, then went near a hill and prayed Salat at it. Then he-asws inclined upon it and cried. Then he-asws inclined to a hill besides it and did similar to that. Then he-asws said: O Yunus! Do similar to what I-asws have done!’
فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا تَفَرَّغْتُ قَالَ لِي يَا يُونُسُ تَعْرِفُ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ
I did that. When I was free, he-asws said to me: ‘O Yunus! Do you recognise this place?’
فَقُلْتُ لَا
I said, ‘No’.
فَقَالَ الْمَوْضِعُ الَّذِي صَلَّيْتُ عِنْدَهُ أَوَّلًا هُوَ قَبْرُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ- وَ الْأَكَمَةُ الْأُخْرَى رَأْسُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع- إِنَّ الْمَلْعُونَ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زِيَادٍ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ لَمَّا بَعَثَ بِرَأْسِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع إِلَى الشَّامِ رُدَّ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ فَقَالَ أَخْرِجُوهُ عَنْهَا لَا يَفْتَتِنْ بِهِ أَهْلُهَا
He-asws said: ‘The place which I-asws had prayed Salat at first, it is the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and the other mound is the head of Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws. The accursed Ubeydullah Bin Ziyad-la, may Allah-azwj Curse him-la dispatched the head of Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws to Syria. It was returned to Al-Kufa. He-la said, ‘Expel it from it, its people should not be tempted by it!’
فَصَيَّرَهُ اللَّهُ عِنْدَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَالرَّأْسُ مَعَ الْجَسَدِ وَ الْجَسَدُ مَعَ الرَّأْسِ.
Allah-azwj Made it come to be with Amir Al-Momineen-asws. Thus, the head is with the body and the body is with the head’’.[81]
بيان: قوله ع فالرأس مع الجسد أي بعد ما دفن الرأس هنا ألحقه الله بالجسد و إنما يزار و يصلى هاهنا لكونه محلا للرأس المقدس وقتا ما و يحتمل على بعد أن يكون المراد أن جسد أمير المؤمنين صلوات الله عليه كالجسد لهذا الرأس الشريف فكأن الرأس لم يفارق الجسد و الله يعلم.
Explanation – His words: ‘Thus the head is with the body and the body is with the head’, i.e. after the head was buried here, Allah-azwj Reunited it with the body. The site is visited and Salats are offered there because it was once the resting place of the sacred head. It is also possible, though less likely, that the meaning is that the body of Amir Al-Momineen-asws serves as a body for this noble head, so it is as if the head was never separated from the body. And Allah-azwj Knows.

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When I-asws was at Al-Hira in the presence of Abu Al-Abbas, I-asws had come to the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws at night, and it is in an area of Najaf, Al-Hira to a side of Al-Ghary Al-Numan.

(The book) ‘Kamil Al-Ziyaraat’ – From him, from Ibn Abu Al Khattab, from Al Hajjal, from Safwan Bin Mihran,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him-asws about the place of the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws’.
قَالَ فَوَصَفَ لِي مَوْضِعَهُ حَيْثُ دَكَادِكُ الْمِيلِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws described to me its location where were ‘Dakadik Al-Meel’’ (recording error).
قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَصَلَّيْتُ عِنْدَهُ ثُمَّ عُدْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مِنْ قَابِلٍ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِذَهَابِي وَ صَلَاتِي عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ أَصَبْتَ فَمَكَثْتُ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً أُصَلِّي عِنْدَهُ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I went to it and prayed Salat at it. Then I returned to Abu Abdullah-asws the following year and informed him-asws of my having gone there and my Salat at it. He-asws said: ‘You got it right!’ I remained for twenty years praying at it’’.[83]
بيان: قال الفيروزآبادي الدكدك من الرمل ما تكبس و استوى أو ما التبد منه بالأرض أو هي أرض فيها غلظ الجمع دكادك انتهى
Explanation – Al-Firozabady said, ‘The term ‘Al-Dakdak’ is from compacted and levelled sand or sand that has become firm with the ground. It can also refer to land that is slightly rough, and its plural is ‘Dakadik’ – end.
و لا يبعد أن يكون الميل تصحيف الرمل و هذا يؤيد كون الذكوات مصحف الدكاوات.
And it is not far-fetched that ‘Al Meel’ would be an error of ‘Al-Raml’ (sand), and this supports the view that ‘Al-Zakwaat’ (mounds) is s recorded erroneously as ‘Al-Dakwaat’.

‘I asked Al-Reza-asws. I said, ‘Where is the location of the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws?’

(The book) ‘Farhat Al-Ghary’ –
It is mentioned by Hasan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Tahhal Al-Miqdady, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, that Zayn Al-Abideen-asws arrived to Al-Kufa and entered its Masjid, and at it was Abu Hamza Al-Sumali, and he was from the ascetics of the people of Al-Kufa and their Sheykhs. He-asws prayed two units Salat.
قَالَ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ فَمَا سَمِعْتُ أَطْيَبَ مِنْ لَهْجَتِهِ فَدَنَوْتُ لِأَسْمَعَ مَا يَقُولُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِلَهِي إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ عَصَيْتُكَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَطَعْتُكَ فِي أَحَبِّ الْأَشْيَاءِ إِلَيْكَ الْإِقْرَارِ بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ مَنّاً مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ لَا مَنّاً مِنِّي عَلَيْكَ- وَ الدُّعَاءُ مَعْرُوفٌ ثُمَّ نَهَضَ
Abu Hamza said, ‘I had not heard a tone sweeter than his-asws, so I went closer to listen to what he-asws is saying. I heard him-asws saying: ‘O my God-azwj! If I have disobeyed You-azwj, so I have obeyed You-azwj is the thing most Beloved to You-azwj, the acknowledgment of Your-azwj Oneness, as a Conferment from You-azwj upon me, nor as a conferment from me upon You-azwj!’ – and the supplication is well-known. Then he-asws got up (departed).
قَالَ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ فَتَبِعْتُهُ إِلَى مُنَاخِ الْكُوفَةِ فَوَجَدْتُ عَبْداً أَسْوَدَ مَعَهُ نَجِيبٌ وَ نَاقَةٌ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَسْوَدُ مَنِ الرَّجُلُ
‘Abu Hamza said, ‘I followed him-asws to the resting place of Al-Kufa. I found a slave having a mule and a she-camel with him. I said, ‘O slave, who is the man?’
فَقَالَ أَ وَ تَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ شَمَائِلُهُ هُوَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ
He said, ‘Is his-asws family hidden unto you? He-asws is Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws!’
قَالَ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ فَأَكْبَبْتُ عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ أُقَبِّلُهُمَا فَرَفَعَ رَأْسِي بِيَدِهِ وَ قَالَ لَا يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ إِنَّمَا يَكُونُ السُّجُودُ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
Abu Hamza said, ‘I devoted to his-asws feet, kissing them. He-asws raised my head by his-asws hand and said: ‘No, O Abu Hamza! But rather the Sajdah should be to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’.
فَقُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَا أَقْدَمَكَ إِلَيْنَا
I said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! What made you-asws come to us?’
قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتَ وَ لم [لَوْ] عَلِمَ النَّاسُ مَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ لَأَتَوْهُ وَ لَوْ حَبْواً هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَزُورَ مَعِي قَبْرَ جَدِّي عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ-
He-asws said: ‘What have you seen? If people knew the virtues within it, they would come to it even if they had to crawl. Would you like to visit with me-asws the grave of my-asws grandfather-asws Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws?’
I said, ‘Yes!’

I walked in the shade of his-asws she-camel. He-asws kept narrating to me until we came to Al-Ghariyeyn, and it is a white spot of shining radiance. He-asws descended from his-asws she-camel and rubbed his-asws cheeks upon it and said: ‘O Abu Hamza! This is the grave of my-asws grandfather Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws!’
ثُمَّ زَارَهُ بِزِيَارَةٍ أَوَّلُهَا السَّلَامُ عَلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّضِيِّ وَ نُورِ وَجْهِهِ الْمُضِيءِ
The he-asws visited him-asws with a Ziyarat, its beginning is: ‘The greeting be upon the Name of Allah-azwj, the Pleasing, and the Noor of His-azwj Face, the illuminating!’
ثُمَّ وَدَّعَهُ وَ مَضَى إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ رَجَعْتُ أَنَا إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ.

‘I transported Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws. When I ended to Al-Najaf, he-asws said: ‘O Safwan! Take to the left until you cross Al-Hirat and you come to Al-Qaim’.

(The book) ‘Farhat Al-Ghary’ – By the previous chain from Muhammad Bin Ali Al Alawy, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Al Jufy, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Ubeyd Bin Bahram, from Husayn Bin Abu Al A’la Al Taie who said,
‘I heard my father mentioned that Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws went to Al-Hira upon two camels, and with him-asws was a boy of his-asws, and the news spread in Al-Kufa. When it was the second day, I said to a slave of mine, ‘Go and sit for me in such and such a place of the road! When you see two boys upon two camels, come to me!’
فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا جَاءَنِي فَقَالَ قَدْ أَقْبَلَا
When we came to the morning, he came to me. He said, ‘They are coming!’
فَقُمْتُ إِلَى بَارِيَّةٍ فَطَرَحْتُهَا عَلَى قَارِعَةِ الطَّرِيقِ وَ إِلَى وِسَادَةٍ وَ صُفْرِيَّةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ وَ قُلَّتَيْنِ فَعَلَّقْتُهُمَا فِي النَّخْلَةِ عِنْدَهَا طَبَقٌ مِنَ الرُّطَبِ كَانَتِ النَّخْلَةُ صَرَفَانَةً فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلَ تَلَقَّيْتُهُ وَ إِذَا الْغُلَامُ مَعَهُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَرَحَّبَ بِي
I went to a place where I placed a mat by the side of the road, along with a new pillow and a small bundle. I hung them on a palm tree next to a dish of fresh dates. The palm tree was bent over. When he-asws arrived, I went to meet him-asws, and I saw the boy with him-asws. I greeted him-asws, and he-asws was welcoming with me.
ثُمَّ قُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مَوَالِيكَ تَنْزِلُ عِنْدِي سَاعَةً وَ تَشْرَبُ شَرْبَةَ مَاءٍ بَارِدٍ
Then I said, ‘O my master! O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! I am man from your-asws friends. Lodge with me for a while and drink a drink of cold water!’
فَثَنَى رِجْلَهُ فَنَزَلَ وَ اتَّكَى عَلَى الْوِسَادَةِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى النَّخْلَةِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا وَ قَالَ يَا شَيْخُ مَا تُسَمُّونَ هَذِهِ النَّخْلَةَ عِنْدَكُمْ
He-asws folded his-asws legs and descended, and leaned upon the pillow. Then he-asws raised his-asws head towards the date tree. He-asws Looked at it and said: ‘O Sheykh! What are you naming this date tree among you all?’
قُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص صَرَفَانَةً
I said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, (we call it) ‘Sarafana’!’
فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ هَذِهِ وَ اللَّهِ الْعَجْوَةُ نَخْلَةُ مَرْيَمَ الْقُطْ لَنَا مِنْهَا
He-asws said: ‘Woe to you! By Allah-azwj, this is the Ajwa date, the tree of Maryam-as! Pick some for us-asws from it!’
فَلَقَطْتُ فَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي الطَّبَقِ الَّذِي فِيهِ الرُّطَبُ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا وَ أَكْثَرَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي هَذَا الْقَبْرُ الَّذِي أَقْبَلْتَ مِنْهُ قَبْرُ الْحُسَيْنِ
I picked some and placed it in the tray that contained the fresh dates. He-asws ate from it and had plenty. I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! May my father and my mother be (sacrificed for) you-asws! This grave which you-asws have come from is grave of Al-Husayn-asws?’
قَالَ إِي وَ اللَّهِ يَا شَيْخُ حَقّاً وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُ عِنْدَنَا لَحَجَجْنَا إِلَيْهِ
He-asws said: ‘Yes, by Allah-azwj, O Sheykh, truly, and had it been with-asws, we-asws would have performed Hajj to it!’
قُلْتُ فَهَذَا الَّذِي عِنْدَنَا فِي الظَّهْرِ أَ هُوَ قَبْرُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ-
So, this which is with us in the back, is it grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws?’
قَالَ إِي وَ اللَّهِ يَا شَيْخُ حَقّاً وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُ عِنْدَنَا لَحَجَجْنَا إِلَيْهِ
He-asws said: ‘Yes, by Allah-azwj, O Sheykh, truly, and had it been with us-asws, we-asws would have performed Hajj to it!’

43- حة، فرحة الغري ذَكَرَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ تَارِيخِ الْكُوفَةِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ صَبِيحٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَ صَاحِبٌ لِي مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ وَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ قَبْرِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ لَنَا هُوَ عِنْدَكُمْ بِظَهْرِ الْكُوفَةِ فِي مَوْضِعِ كَذَا فَوَصَفَ لَنَا
(The book) ‘Farhat Al-Ghary’ – Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Ja’far Al Tameemi mentioned in the book ‘Tareekh Al-Kufa’. He said, ‘We are informed by Abu Bakr Al Darimy, from Is’haq Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Sabeeh, from Safwan who said,
‘I and a companion of mine went out from Al-Kufa and we entered to see Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws. We asked him-asws about the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws. He-asws said to us: ‘It is with you all at the back of Al-Kufa in such and such place!’ – He-asws described it to us.
قَالَ فَجِئْتُ أَنَا وَ صَاحِبِي فَطَلَبْنَاهُ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I and my companion came. We searched for it and found it’.
قَالَ ثُمَّ لَقِينَاهُ فِي مَوْضِعِ كَذَا قَالَ نَعَمْ هُوَ ذَاكَ عِنْدَ الذَّكَوَاتِ الْبِيضِ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then we met him-asws in such and such place. He-asws said: ‘Yes, it is that, by the white mounds’’.[98]
44- حة، فرحة الغري قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعَدٍّ الْمُوسَوِيُّ رَأَيْتُ فِي بَعْضِ الْكُتُبِ الْحَدِيثِيَّةِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْبَارِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمِّي عَنْ أُمِّهَا أَنَّ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ع- حَدَّثَهَا أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع- أَمَرَ ابْنَهُ الْحَسَنَ أَنْ يَحْفِرَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَ قُبُورِ فِي أَرْبَعِ مَوَاضِعَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَ فِي الرَّحَبَةِ وَ فِي الْغَرِيِّ وَ فِي دَارِ جَعْدَةَ بْنِ هُبَيْرَةَ- وَ إِنَّمَا أَرَادَ بِهَذَا أَنْ لَا يَعْلَمَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ مَوْضِعَ قَبْرِهِ.
(The book) ‘Farhat Al-Ghary’ – Muhammad Bin Ma’bat Al Musawy said, ‘I saw in one of the books of Ahadeeth, ‘We are narrated to by Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Abdul Aziz, from Abdullah Al Ansary, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan Al Ja’fari who said, ‘I found in the book of my father, ‘It is narrated to me by my mother from her mother,
‘Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws narrated to her that Amir Momineen-asws had instructed his-asws son-asws Al-Hassan-asws to dig four graves for him-asws in four (different) places – in the Masjid, and in Al-Rahba, and in Al-Ghary, and in the hour of Jo’da Bin Hubeyra, and rather he-asws intended with that that no one from his-asws enemies should know the place of his-asws grave’’.[99]

(The book) ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkaam’ – Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Dawood, from his father, from Ibn Fazzal, from Amro Bin Ibrahim, from Khalaf Bin Hammad, from Abdullah Bin Hassan, from Al Sumali,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws in a Hadeeth he-asws narrated with: ‘It was in a bequest of Amir Al-Momineen-asws: ‘Take me-asws out to the back. When your feet are aligned and a wind faces you, bury me-asws, and it is the first peak of (mount) Toor of Sinai!’ So, they did that’’.[100]
46- كِتَابُ الصِّفِّينِ، لِنَصْرِ بْنِ مُزَاحِمٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ طَرِيفٍ عَنِ ابْنِ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ: مَرَّتْ جَنَازَةٌ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ ع وَ هُوَ بِالنُّخَيْلَةِ فَقَالَ ع مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ فِي هَذَا الْقَبْرِ وَ فِي النُّخَيْلَةِ قَبْرٌ عَظِيمٌ يَدْفِنُ الْيَهُودُ مَوْتَاهُمْ حَوْلَهُ
(The book) ‘Kitab Al Siffeen’ of Nasr Bin Muzahim – from Amro Bin Sa’ad, from Ibn Tareyf, from Ibn Nubata who said,
‘A funeral procession passed by Ali-asws while he-asws was at Al Nukheyla. He-asws said: ‘What are the people saying regarding this grave, and in Al-Nukheyla there is a mighty grave. The Jews are burying their dead around it!’
فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ يَقُولُونَ هَذَا قَبْرُ هُودٍ النَّبِيِّ ع- لَمَّا أَنْ عَصَاهُ قَوْمُهُ جَاءَ فَمَاتَ هَاهُنَا
Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws said: ‘They are saying this is the grave of the Prophet Hud-as. When his-as people disobeyed him-as, he-as came and died over here!’
فَقَالَ كَذَبُوا لَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنْهُمْ هَذَا قَبْرُ يَهُودَا بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بِكْرِ يَعْقُوبَ-
He-asws said: ‘They are lying, because we-asws are more knowing with it than they are! This is the grave of Yahouda son of Yaqoub-as, son of Is’haq-as, son of Ibrahim-as, the first born of Yaqoub-as’’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ هَاهُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمَهَرَةِ
Then he-asws said: ‘Is there over here someone who is from Al-Mahrah?’
قَالَ فَأُتِيَ بِشَيْخٍ كَبِيرٍ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ مَنْزِلُكَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘They came with an old man. He-asws said: ‘Where is your house?’
قَالَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ
He said, ‘Upon the river bank!’
قَالَ أَيْنَ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ الْأَحْمَرِ
He-asws said: ‘Where from the red mountain?’
He said, ‘Near from it’.
قَالَ قَرِيباً مِنْهُ قَالَ فَمَا يَقُولُ قَوْمُكَ فِيهِ
He-asws said: ‘So what are your people saying regarding it?’
قَالَ يَقُولُونَ قَبْرُ سَاحِرٍ
He said, ‘They are saying, ‘Grave of a sorcerer’’.
قَالَ كَذَبُوا ذَلِكَ قَبْرُ هُودٍ وَ هَذَا قَبْرُ يَهُودَا بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ يُحْشَرُ مِنْ ظَهْرِ الْكُوفَةِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفاً عَلَى غُرَّةِ الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ.
He-asws said: ‘They are lying! That is the grave of Hud-as, and this is the grave of Yahouda son of Yaqoub-as! Seventy thousand will be Resurrected from the back of Al-Kufa upon the commencement of the sun and the moon. They will be entering the Paradise without Reckoning’’.[101]
تذنيب اعلم أنه كان اختلاف بين الناس سابقا في موضع قبر أمير المؤمنين ع فبعضهم كانوا يقولون إنه دفن في بيته و بعضهم يقولون إنه دفن في رحبة المسجد و بعضهم كانوا يقولون إنه دفن في كرخ بغداد
(The book) ‘Tahzeeb (Al-Ahkaam)’ – ‘Know that there was a difference of opinion among the people in the past regarding the location of the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws. Some said he-asws was buried in his-asws house, others said he-asws was buried in the courtyard of the Masjid, and some said he-asws was buried in the Karkh at Baghdad.
لكن اتفقت الشيعة سلفا و خلفا نقلا عن أئمتهم صلوات الله عليهم أنه صلوات الله عليه لم يدفن إلا في الغري في الموضع المعروف الآن
However, the Shias, both past and present, have agreed, based on the transmissions from their Imams-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws that Amir Al-Momineen-asws was buried in Al-Ghary, in the place well-known now.
و الأخبار في ذلك متواترة و قد كتب السيد بن طاوس رضي الله عنه في ذلك كتابا سماه فرحة الغري و نقل الأخبار و القصص الكثيرة الدالة على المذهب المنصور و قد قدمنا بعض القول في ذلك في أبواب شهادته صلوات الله عليه و الأمر أوضح من أن يحتاج إلى البيان.
The reports regarding this matter are consistent, and the late scholar, Sayyid Ibn Tawoos, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, wrote a book on the subject called Farhat Al-Ghary, where he quoted many stories and reports supporting the established belief. We have already mentioned part of the discussion regarding this in the section on his-asws martyrdom may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, and the matter is clearer than needing further explanation.
ثم اعلم أنه يظهر من الأخبار المتقدمة أن رأس الحسين صلوات الله عليه و آله و جسد آدم و نوح و هود و صالح صلوات الله عليهم مدفونون عنده صلوات الله عليه فينبغي زيارتهم جميعا بعد زيارته ع
Then, know that from the previous reports, it appears that the head of Al-Husayn, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, and the bodies of Adam-as, and Noah-as, and Hud-as, and Salih-as, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-as, are buried near him-asws may the Salawaat of Allah (s.w.t) be upon him-asws. Therefore, it is befitting to visit them-as all after visiting him-asws (i.e. performing Ziyarat).
و سيأتي في خبر أبي أسامة عن أبي عبد الله ع في باب فضل الكوفة أن فيها قبر نوح و إبراهيم ع و قبر ثلاثمائة نبي و سبعين نبيا و ستمائة وصي و قبر سيد الأوصياء فلو زار إبراهيم ع و سائر الأنبياء و الأوصياء الذين خلوا بجواره كان أحسن.
It will come in the report by Abu Usama about Abu Abdullah-asws in the chapter on the merits of Al-Kufa that therein is the grave of Noah-as and Ibrahim-as, and graves of three hundred and seventy Prophets-as, and six hundred successors-as, and the grave of the chief of the successors‑as. Thus, visiting Ibrahim-as and the other Prophets-as and successors-as who are buried around him-asws is better.
تتميم قال الديلمي ره في إرشاد القلوب و أما الدليل الواضح و البرهان اللائح على أن قبره الشريف صلوات الله عليه موجود بالغري
Completion – Al-Daylami said in (the book) ‘Irshad Al-Quloub’, ‘And as for the clear evidence and the unmistakable proof that his-asws noble grave, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, is located in Al-Ghary, (there are several reasons).
فمن وجوه الأول تواتر الإمامية الاثني عشرية يرويه خلف عن سلف الثاني إجماع الشيعة و الإجماع حجة الثالث ما حصل عنده من الأسرار و الآيات و ظهور المعجزات كقيام الزمن و رد بصر الأعمى و غيرها
First, the widespread consensus among the Twelver Shias, transmitted from one generation to another. Second, the unanimous agreement of the Shias, and consensus is considered binding. Third, the numerous secrets, and the signs, and the miracles that have been associated with the place as times go by, such as healing the blind and other such.
47- فمنها ما روي عن عبد الله بن حازم قال خرجنا يوما مع الرشيد من الكوفة فصرنا إلى ناحية الغريين فرأينا ظباء فأرسلنا عليها الصقور و الكلاب فجاولتها ساعة ثم لجأت الظباء إلى أكمة فتراجعت الصقور و الكلاب عنها فتعجب الرشيد من ذلك
From these is what is reported from Abdullah Bin Hazim who said, ‘One day we went out with (the caliph) Al-Rasheed from Al-Kufa. We came to around Al-Ghariyeyn. We saw a gazelle, so we sent the falcons and the dogs to it. They chased it for a time, then the gazelle sought refuge to a hill. The falcons and the dogs retreated from it. Al-Rasheed was astounded from that.
ثم إن الظباء هبطت من الأكمة فسقطت الطيور و الكلاب عليها فرجعت الظباء إلى الأكمة فتراجعت الصقور و الكلاب عنها مرة ثانية ثم فعلت ذلك مرة أخرى
Then the gazelle came down from the hill, so the birds (falcons) and the dogs fell upon it, so the gazelle retreated to the hill, and the falcons and the dogs retreated from it for a second time. Then that was done another time.
فقال الرشيد اركضوا إلى الكوفة فأتوني بأكبرها سنا
Al-Rasheed said, ‘Sprint to Al-Kufa and come to me with its oldest man!’
فأتي بشيخ من بني أسد فقال الرشيد أخبرني ما هذه الأكمة
They came with an old man from the clan of Asad. Al-Rasheed said, ‘Inform me, what is this hill?’
فقال حدثني أبي عن آبائه أنهم كانوا يقولون إن هذه الأكمة قبر علي بن أبي طالب ع- جعله الله حرما لا يأوي إليه شيء إلا آمن
He said, ‘My father narrated to me from his forefathers, they were saying that this hill is the grave of Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws. Allah-azwj has Made it a sanctuary. Nothing will shelter to it except it would be safe!’
فنزل هارون و دعا بماء و توضأ و صلى عند الأكمة و جعل يدعو و يبكي و يتمرغ عليها بوجهه و أمر أن يبنى قبة بأربعة أبواب فبني و بقي إلى أيام السلطان عضد الدولة رحمه الله
Haroun descended and called for water, and he performed Wud’u and prayed Salat by the hill, and he went on to supplicate and cry and wallowing upon it with his face, and he ordered that a dome be built with four doors. It was built and it remained up to the days of the ruler Azad Al Dowla, may Allah-azwj Mercy him.
فجاء فأقام في ذلك الطريق قريبا من سنة هو و عساكره فبعث فأتي بالصناع و الأستادية من الأطراف و خرب تلك العمارة و صرف أموالا كثيرة جزيلة و عمر عمارة جليلة حسنة و هي العمارة التي كانت قبل عمارة اليوم.
He came and stayed in that road for almost a year, he and his army. He sent messaged, so they brought the craftsmen and the master (builders) from the outskirts, and he ruined that construction and spent a lot of money, plentiful, and built a majestic building, beautiful, and it is the building which was before the building that is today’’.[102] (A report)
48 و منها ما حكي عن جماعة خرجوا بليل مختفين إلى الغري لزيارة أمير المؤمنين ع- قالوا فلما وصلنا إلى القبر الشريف و كان يومئذ قبرا حوله حجارة و لا بناء عنده و ذلك بعد أن أظهره الرشيد و قبل أن يعمره
And from these is what is narrated from a group. They went out at night in concealment to Al-Ghary to visit Amir Al-Momineen-asws. They said, ‘When we arrived to the noble grave, and in those days the grave has stones around it and no construction at it, and that is after Al-Rasheed had revealed it, and before he built it.
فبينا نحن عنده بعضنا يقرأ و بعضنا يصلي و بعضنا يزور و إذا نحن بأسد مقبل نحونا فلما قرب منا قدر رمح قال بعضنا لبعض ابعدوا عن القبر لننظر ما يصنع
While we were by him-asws, some of us were reading (Quran), and some of us were praying Salat, and some of us were (reciting) Ziyarat, and behold there was a lion coming towards us. When it was near from us a measurement of a spear, one of us said to another, ‘Distance yourselves from the grave! Let us look at what it does!’
فتباعدنا عن القبر الشريف فجاء الأسد فجعل يمرغ ذراعيه على القبر فمضى رجل منا فشاهده فعاد فأعلمنا فزال الرعب عنا فجئنا بأجمعنا فشاهدناه يمرغ ذراعه على القبر و فيه جراح فلم يزل يمرغه ساعة ثم انزاح عن القبر و مضى فعدنا إلى ما كنا عليه لإتمام الزيارة و الصلاة و قراءة القرآن
We distanced ourselves from the noble grave. The lion came and went on to wallow its front paws upon the grave. A man from us went and witnessed it. He returned and let us know, so the dread declined from us. We all went to witness it wallowing its front paws, and in it was an injury. It did not cease with its wallowing for a time, then it detached itself from the grave and went away. We returned to what we had been upon to complete the Ziyarat and the Salat and the reading the Quran’.
أقول ثم أورد رحمه الله كثيرا من القصص المشتملة على معجزات مرقده الشريف مما قد أسلفنا إيرادها في كتاب تاريخه صلوات الله عليه فتركناها حذرا من التكرار و لظهور أمثال تلك القصص و الأمور الغريبة في كل عصر و زمان بحيث لا يحتاج إلى ذكر ما سنح في الزمن السالفة-.
I say, ‘Then he, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, reported many of the stories inclusive upon the miracles of his-asws noble grave, some of which we have already mentioned in his history, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws. We refrained from repeating them to avoid redundancy, as such stories and strange occurrences appear in every era and time, to the extent that there is no need to mention those that have happened in the past’’.[103] (A report)
49 و لقد شاع و ذاع في زماننا من شفاء المرضى و معافاة أصحاب البلوى و صحة العميان و الزمنى أكثر من أن يحصى
Indeed, it became well-known in our time that many patients were cured, the afflicted were healed, and the blind and the disabled regained their health, more than can be counted.
و لقد أخبرني جماعة كثيرة من الثقات أن عند محاصرة الروم لعنهم الله المشهد الشريف في سنة أربع و ثلاثين و ألف من الهجرة- و تحصين أهله بالبلد و إغلاق الأبواب عليهم و التعرض لدفعهم مع قلة عددهم و عدتهم و كثرة المحاصرين و قوتهم و شوكتهم جلسوا زمانا طويلا و لم يظفروا بهم
A large number of trustworthy individuals had informed me that during the siege of the Romans, may Allah-azwj Curse them, in the year 1034 of the Hijrah, when they besieged the Holy Shrine and fortified the city, locking the doors and trying to break through with their forces, despite the few defenders, their strength and numbers were no match for the large number of attackers and their power. The siege lasted a long time without the Romans succeeding.
و كانوا يرمون بالبنادق الصغار و الكبار عليهم شبه الأمطار و لم يقع على أحد منهم و كانت الصبيان في السكك ينتظرون وقوعها ليلعبوا بها حتى أنهم يروون أن بندقا كبيرا دخل في كم جارية رفعت يدها لحاجة على بعض السطوح و سقط من ذيلها و لم يصبها
They fired small and large projectiles at the defenders, like a rainstorm, yet none of them hit anyone. The children in the streets would wait for the bullets to fall so they could play with them. It is even narrated that a large projective entered the sleeve of a young girl who had raised her hand for something on one of the rooftops and fell from her sleeve without injuring her.
و يروى عن بعض الصلحاء الأفاضل من أهل المشهد أنه رأى في تلك الأيام أمير المؤمنين ع في المنام و في يده ع سواد فسأله عن ذلك فقال ع لكثرة دفع الرصاص عنكم
It is also narrated by some righteous meritorious individuals from the people of the Shrine that they saw in those days Amir Al-Momineen-asws in a dream, holding something black in his hand. When asked about it, he-asws replied, ‘It is from the many projectiles being deflected from you!’
و الغرائب التي ينقلونها في تلك الواقعة كثيرة فأما التي اشتهرت بين أهل المشهد بحيث لا ينكره أحد منهم.
And the strange occurrences reported in that incident are many. However, it the most well-known among the people of the Shrine, whereby not one of them denies it’’.[104] (A report)
50 فمنها قصة الدهن و هو أن خازن الروضة المقدسة المولى الصالح البارع التقي مولانا محمود- قدس الله روحه كان هو المتوجه لإصلاح العسكر الذي كانوا في البلد و كانوا محتاجين إلى مشاعل كثيرة لمحافظة أطراف الحصار
Among these is the story of the oil. The custodian of the Sacred Shrine, the righteous, distinguished, and pious Mawlana Mahmoud, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul, was in charge of supplying weapons to the soldiers in the city. They needed many torches to maintain the perimeter of the siege.
فلما ضاق الأمر و لم يبق في السوق و لا في البيوت شيء من الدهن أعطاهم من الحياض التي كانوا يصبون فيها الدهن لإسراج الروضة و حواليها فبعد إتمام جميع ما في الحياض و يأسهم عن حصوله من مكان آخر رجعوا إليها فوجدوها مترعة من الدهن فأخذوا منها و كفاهم إلى انقضاء وطرهم.
When the situation became dire and there was no oil left in the market or in the houses, he gave them the oil from the vats that were used to pour oil for lighting the shrine and its surroundings. After using all the oil in the vats and losing hope of obtaining more from elsewhere, they returned to the vats and found them completely filled with oil. They took from it, and it sufficed them until their needs were fulfilled’.[105] (A report)
51 و منها أنهم كانوا يرون في الليالي في رءوس الجدران و أطراف العمارات و المنارات نورا ساطعا بينا حتى أن الإنسان إذا كان يرفع يده إلى السماء كان يرى أنامله كالشموع المشتعلة
Among these is the story that they would see on the nights a bright and clear light on the tops of the walls, the edges of buildings, and the minarets. So much so that when a person would raise their hand to the sky, they could see their fingers like burning candles.
و لقد سمعت من بعض الأشارف الثقات من غير أهل المشهد أنه قال كنت ذات ليلة نائما في بعض سطوح المشهد الشريف فانتبهت في بعض الليل فرأيت النور ساطعا من الروضة المقدسة و من أطراف جميع جدران البلد فعجبت من ذلك و مسحت يدي على عيني فنظرت فرأيت مثل ذلك فأيقظت رجلا كان نائما بجنبي فأخبرني بمثل ما رأيت و بقي هكذا زمانا طويلا ثم ارتفع
I have heard from some trustworthy and noble people, not from the residents of the Shrine, who said: ‘One night, I was sleeping on one of the rooftops of the Sacred Shrine. I woke up during the night and saw a bright light shining from the Holy Shrine and from the edges of all the walls of the city. I was amazed by this and wiped my eyes, and when I looked again, I saw the same thing. I woke up a man who was sleeping next to me, and he told me that he saw the same thing. This continued for a long time, and then it disappeared’.
و سمعت أيضا من بعض الثقات قال كنت نائما في بعض الليالي على بعض سطوح البلد الشريف فانتبهت فرأيت كوكبا نزل من السماء بحذاء القبة السامية حتى وصل إليها و طاف حولها مرارا بحيث أراه يغيب من جانب و يطلع من آخر ثم صعد إلى السماء.
I also heard from some trustworthy individuals who said: ‘One night, I was sleeping on one of the rooftops of the noble city. I woke up and saw a star descending from the sky directly in front of the dome. It reached the dome and circled around it several times, disappearing from one side and appearing from the other, then it ascended back to the sky’’.[106] (A report)
52 و من الأمور المشهورة التي وقعت قريبا من زماننا أن جماعة من صلحاء أهل البحرين أتوا لزيارة الحسين صلوات الله و سلامه عليه لإدراك بعض الزيارات المخصوصة فأبطئوا و لم يصلوا إليه و وصلوا في ذلك اليوم إلى الغري و كان يوم مطر و طين و كان مولانا محمود رحمه الله أغلق أبواب الروضة المقدسة لذلك
Among the well-known events that occurred near our time is that a group of righteous individuals from Bahrain came to visit Al-Hussain-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj and His‑azwj Greeting be upon him-asws, to perform some of the specific Ziyaraats. They were delayed and did not reach him-asws, but they arrived that day at Al-Ghary, on a rainy and muddy day, and Mawlana Mahmoud, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, had closed the doors of the Sacred Shrine due to that.
فأتوه و سألوه أن يفتح لهم فأبى و اعتذر منهم و قال زوروا من وراء الشباك
They came to him and asked him to open the doors, but he refused and apologised to them. He said, ‘Perform Ziyarat from behind the window!’
فأتوا الباب و تضرعوا و تمرغوا في التراب و قالوا قد حرمنا من زيارة ولدك فلا تحرمنا زيارتك فإنا من شيعتك و قد أتيناك من شقة بعيدة
They came to the door and beseeched, and wallowed in the soil, and they said, ‘We have been deprived from visiting your-asws son-asws so do not deprive us of your-asws Ziyarat, for we are from your-asws Shias and have come to you-asws from a remote place!’
فبينا هم في ذلك إذ سقطت الأقفال و فتحت الأبواب و دخلوا و زاروا و هذا مشهور بين أهل المشهد و بين أهل البحرين غاية الاشتهار.
While they were in this state, the locks fell off, and the doors opened, and they entered and performed the Ziyarat. This event is well-known among the people of the Shrine and the people of Bahrain to the highest degree’’.[107] (A report)
53 و منها ما تواترت به الأخبار و نظموها في الأشعار و شاع في جميع الأصقاع و الأقطار و اشتهر اشتهار الشمس في رابعة النهار و كان بالقرب من تاريخ الكتابة في سنة اثنين و سبعين بعد الألف من الهجرة- و كانت كيفية تلك الواقعة على ما سمعته من الثقات
And from these is what the reports have transmitted, and they have composed poems about it. It became widely known in all regions and countries, as bright as the sun at midday. This became well-known around the time of writing in the year 1072 after the Hijra. The details of this incident, as I heard from trustworthy individuals, are as follows: –
أنه كان في المشهد الغروي عجوز تسمى بمريم و كانت معروفة بالعبادة و التقوى فمرضت مرضا شديدا و امتد بها حتى صارت مقعدة مزمنة و بقيت كذلك قريبا من سنتين بحيث اشتهر أمرها و كونها مزمنة في الغري
There was an elderly woman in the Al-Ghary Shrine named Maryam, known for her devotion and piety. She fell severely ill, and her condition worsened to the point where she became permanently disabled. She remained in this state for almost two years, and her situation became well-known, as she had been chronically ill in Al-Ghary.
ثم إنها لتسع ليال خلون من رجب تضرعت لدفع ضرها إلى الله تعالى و استشفعت بمولانا أمير المؤمنين- صلوات الله و سلامه عليه و شكت إليه ع في ذلك و نامت
Then, for the nine nights preceding the month of Rajab, she earnestly supplicated to Allah-azwj for relief from her suffering and sought intercession through our Master Amir Al-Momineen-asws. May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Greeting be upon him-asws. She complained to him regarding that and fell asleep.
فرأت في منامها ثلاث نسوة دخلن إليها و إحداهن كالقمر ليلة البدر نورا و صفاء و قلن لها لا تخافي و لا تحزني فإن فرجك في ليلة الثاني عشر من الشهر المبارك-
She saw in her dream three women entering her room, one of whom was like the full moon in its light and clarity. They told her, ‘Do not be afraid or sad, for your relief will come on the night of the twelfth of the Blessed month!’
فانتبهت فرحا و قصت رؤياها على من حضرها و كانت تنتظر ليلة ثاني عشر رجب-
She woke up filled with joy and shared her dream with those who were present. She was eagerly waiting for the night of the twelfth of Rajab.
فمرت بها و لم تر شيئا ثم ترقبت ليلة ثاني عشر شعبان فلم تر أيضا شيئا فلما كانت ليلة تاسع من شهر رمضان- رأت في منامها تلك النسوة بأعيانهن و هن يبشرنها فقلن لها إذا كانت ليلة الثاني عشر من هذا الشهر فامضي إلى روضة أمير المؤمنين صلوات الله عليه- و أرسلي إلى فلانة و فلانة و فلانة و سمين نسوة معروفات عليه و هن باقيات إلى حين هذا التحرير و اذهبي بمن معك إليها
The night of the twelfth of Rajab passed, and she did not see anything. Then she waited for the night of the twelfth of Shaban, but again, she saw nothing. However, when the night of the ninth of Ramazan came, she saw those same women in her dream, and they were giving her glad tidings. They said to her, ‘When the night of the twelfth of this month comes, go to the Shrine of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, and send for so and so, so and so, and so-and-so!’ – naming certain well-known women to her, who are still alive to this day, ‘And go with the ones with you to it!’
فلما أصبحت قصت رؤياها و بقيت مسرورة مستبشرة بذلك إلى أن دخلت تلك الليلة فأمرت بغسل ثيابها و تطهير جسدها و أرسلت إلى تلك النسوة دعتهن فأجبن و ذهبن بها محمولة لأنها كانت لا تقدر على المشي فلما مضى قريب من ربع الليل خرجت واحدة منهن و اعتذرت منها و بقيت معها اثنتان و انصرف منهن جميع من حضر الروضة المقدسة و غلقت الأبواب و لم يبق في الرواق غيرهن
When she woke up, she shared her dream and remained happy and hopeful because of it. When that night arrived, she ordered her clothes to be washed and her body purified. She sent for those women and they responded, going with her, as she was unable to walk. When it was nearly a quarter into the night, one of them excused herself and left, leaving two women with her. Everyone else who had been in the Holy Shrine left, the doors were closed, and there did not remain in the courtyard other than them.
فلما كان وقت السحر أرادت صاحبتاها أكل السحور أو شرب التتن فاستحيتا من الضريح المقدس فتركتاها عند الشباك المقابل للضريح المقدس في جانب القبلة و ذهبتا إلى الباب الذي في جهة خلفه ع يفتح إلى الصحن و خلفه الشباك فدخلتا هناك و أغلقتا الباب لحاجتهما فلما رجعتا إليها بعد قضاء وطرهما لم تجداها في الموضع الذي تركتاها ملقاة فيه فتحيرتا فمضتا يمينا و شمالا
When it was time for pre-dawn meal, her two companions wanted to eat the pre-dawn meal, but they were too shy to do so in front of the Sacred shrine. So, they left her by the window opposite the Shrine, on the side facing the Qiblah, and went to the door at the back of the Shrine which opens into the courtyard. They entered there and closed the door for their needs. When they returned after fulfilling their desires, they found that she was no longer in the spot where they had left her. They were confused and searched to the right and left.
فإذا بها تمشي في نهاية الصحة و الاعتدال فسألتاها عن حالها و ما جرى عليها فأخبرتهما أنكما لما انصرفتما عني رأيت تلك النسوة اللاتي رأيتهن في المنام أقبلن و حملنني و أدخلنني داخل القبة المنورة و أنا لا أعلم كيف دخلت و من أين دخلت فلما قربت من الضريح المقدس سمعت صوتا من القبر يقول حركن المرأة الصالحة و طفن بها ثلاث مرات فطفن بي ثلاث مرات حول القبر
When they found her, she was walking in perfect health and balance. They asked her what had happened, and she told them, ‘When you left me, I saw those women from my dream approaching. They carried me and brought me inside the illuminated dome. I don’t know how or from where I entered. When I got close to the Sacred Shrine, I heard a voice from the grave saying, ‘Move the righteous woman and perform Tawaaf with her three times!’ So, they performed Tawaaf with me three times around the grave!
ثم سمعت صوتا آخر أخرجن الصالحة من باب الفرج
Then I heard another voice saying, ‘Take the righteous woman out through the ‘Gate of Relief’!’
فأخرجنني من الجانب الغربي الذي يكون خلف من يصلي بين البابين بحذاء الرأس و خلف الباب شباك يمنع الاستطراق و لم يكن الباب معروفا قبل ذلك بهذا الاسم
They took me out through the western side, which is behind the one who prays Salat between the two doors, in line with the (Holy) head. Behind the door, there was a window that prevented entry, and the door had not been known by that name before’.
قالت فالآن مضين عني و جئتماني و أنا لا أرى بي شيئا مما كان من المرض و الألم و الضعف و أنا في غاية الصحة و القوة
She said, ‘Now, you had gone away from me, and you came back to me, and I no longer feel any of the illness, and pain, and the weakness that I had before. I am in perfect health and strength’.
When it was the end of the night, the keeper of the sacred shrine came and opened the doors. He saw them walking, and could not distinguish one from another.
فلما كان آخر الليل جاء خازن الحضرة الشريفة و فتح الأبواب فرآهن تمشين بحيث لا يتميز واحدة منهن
When it was the end of the night, the keeper of the Sacred Shrine came and opened the doors. He saw them walking, and could not distinguish one from another.
و إني سمعت من المولى الصالح التقي مولانا محمد طاهر الذي بيده مفاتيح الروضة المقدسة و من جماعة كثيرة من الصلحاء الذين كانوا حاضرين في تلك الليلة في الحضرة الشريفة أنهم رأوها في أول الليلة محمولة عند دخولها و في آخر الليل سائرة أحسن ما يكون عند خروجها
I heard from the righteous and pious master, Mawlana Muhammad Tahir, who holds the keys to the Sacred Shrine, and from many righteous people who were present that night in the Blessed Shrine, that they saw her at the beginning of the night being carried upon her arrival, and by the end of the night, she was walking in the best of health as she left.
و الحمد لله على ظهور كرامة أمير المؤمنين صلوات الله عليه- لتقر أعين أوليائه و ترغم أنوف أعدائه و أمثال ذلك كثيرة لو أردنا ذكرها لطال الكتاب.
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj upon the manifestation of the miracles of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, to delights the eyes of his-asws friends, and rub the nose of his-asws enemies, and the likes of that are many. If we were to intend mentioning these, the book would be lengthy’’.[108]

CHAPTER 13 – MERIT OF HIS-asws ZIYARAT, MAY THE SALAWAAT OF ALLAH-azwj BE UPON HIM-asws, AND THE SALAT PRAYED IN HIS-asws PRESENCE
1- ما، الأمالي للشيخ الطوسي الْمُفِيدُ عَنِ ابْنِ قُولَوَيْهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ خَلْقاً أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَنْزِلُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ فَيَأْتُونَ الْبَيْتَ الْمَعْمُورَ فَيَطُوفُونَ بِهِ فَإِذَا هُمْ طَافُوا بِهِ نَزَلُوا فَطَافُوا بِالْكَعْبَةِ فَإِذَا طَافُوا بِهَا أَتَوْا قَبْرَ النَّبِيِّ ص فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ
(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the Sheykh Al Tusi – Al Mufeed, from Ibn Qawlawiya, from his father, from Sa’ad, from Ibn Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Riaab, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,
‘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 they perform Tawaaf of it. When they have performed Tawaaf of it, they descend and perform Tawaaf of the Kabah. When they have performed Tawaaf of it they come to the grave of the Prophet-saww and greet unto him-saww.
ثُمَّ أَتَوْا قَبْرَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَتَوْا قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ عَرَجُوا وَ يَنْزِلُ مِثْلُهُمْ أَبَداً إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.
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 and greet unto him-asws. Then they ascend and (the number) similar to them descend, forever up to the Day of Qiyamah’’.[109]
وَ قَالَ ع مَنْ زَارَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ غَيْرَ مُتَجَبِّرٍ وَ لَا مُتَكَبِّرٍ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَجْرَ مِائَةِ أَلْفِ شَهِيدٍ وَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ وَ بُعِثَ مِنَ الْآمِنِينَ وَ هُوِّنَ عَلَيْهِ الْحِسَابُ وَ اسْتَقْبَلَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فَإِذَا انْصَرَفَ شَيَّعَتْهُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَإِنْ مَرِضَ عَادُوهُ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ تَبِعُوهُ بِالاسْتِغْفَارِ إِلَى قَبْرِهِ
And he-asws said: ‘One who visits Amir Al-Momineen-asws having recognised his-asws rights, neither being tyrannous nor arrogant, Allah-azwj will Write for him the Recompense of one hundred thousand martyrs, and Allah-azwj will Forgive for him whatever he had sent ahead of his sins and whatever delayed, and he will be Resurrected from the secured ones, and the Reckoning would be easy upon him, and the Angels-as will receive him! When his-asws Shia leaves to go to his-asws house, if he falls sick, they-as console him, and if he dies they-as follow him to his grave seeking the Forgiveness’.
قَالَ وَ مَنْ زَارَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ثَوَابَ أَلْفِ حَجَّةٍ مَقْبُولَةٍ وَ أَلْفَ عُمْرَةٍ مَقْبُولَةٍ وَ غَفَرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ.
He-asws said: ‘And the one who visits Al-Husayn-asws having recognised his-asws right, Allah-azwj will Write for him the rewards of a thousand Accepted Hajj, and a thousand Accepted Umrah, and Forgive for him whatever he had sent ahead or his sins and what he had delayed’’.[110]

(The book) ‘Kamil Al Ziyaraat’ – My father and Al Kulayni, both together from Muhammad Al Attar, from Hamdan Bin Suleyman, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Yamani, from Manie Bin Al Hajjaj, from Yunus, from Abu Wahb Al Qasry who said,
‘I entered Al Medina, so I came to see Abu Abdullah-asws. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I have come to you-asws and I did not visit the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws!’
قَالَ بِئْسَ مَا صَنَعْتَ لَوْ لَا أَنَّكَ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا مَا نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْكَ أَ لَا تَزُورُ مَنْ يَزُورُهُ اللَّهُ مَعَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ يَزُورُهُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَ يَزُورُهُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
He-asws said: ‘Evil is what you have done! Had you not been from our-asws Shias, I would not have even looked at you! You did not visit the one whom Allah-azwj and His-azwj Angels visit, and the Prophets-as visit him-asws, and the Momineen visit him!’
قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا عَلِمْتُ ذَلِكَ
I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I did not know that’.
قَالَ فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَفْضَلُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ كُلِّهِمْ وَ لَهُ ثَوَابُ أَعْمَالِهِمْ وَ عَلَى قَدْرِ أَعْمَالِهِمْ فُضِّلُوا.
He-asws said: ‘Know that Amir Al-Momineen-asws is more superior in the Presence of Allah-azwj than the Imams-asws, all of them-asws, and for him-asws is the Reward of their-asws deeds, and they-asws have been merited in accordance to their-asws deeds!’’[112]

(The book) ‘Kamil Al Ziyaraat’ – Al Kulayni, from Ibn Ali Al Ash’ary, from the one who mentioned it, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, and it is narrated to me by Muhammad Al Himeyri, from his father, from Ibn Abu Al Khattab, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from al Mufazzal Bin Umar who said,
‘I entered to see Abu Abdullah-asws. I said, ‘I am yearning to (go to) Al-Ghary!’
قَالَ فَمَا شَوْقُكَ إِلَيْهِ
He-asws said: ‘What is your yearning to it?’
قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَزُورَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع-
I said to him-asws, ‘I would love to visit Amir Al-Momineen-asws!’
فَقَالَ لِي فَهَلْ تَعْرِفُ فَضْلَ زِيَارَتِهِ
He-asws said to me: ‘Do you know the merit of visiting him-asws?’
قُلْتُ لَا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ- فَعَرِّفْنِي ذَلِكَ
I said, ‘No, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! Introduce me to that’.
قَالَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ زِيَارَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ زَائِرٌ عِظَامَ آدَمَ وَ بَدَنَ نُوحٍ وَ جِسْمَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع-
He-asws said: ‘Whenever you want to visit (Ziyarat of) Amir Al-Momineen-asws, then know you are a visitor of the bones of Adam-as, and body of Noah-as, and the form of Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws!’
قُلْتُ إِنَّ آدَمَ هَبَطَ بِسَرَانْدِيبَ فِي مَطْلَعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ زَعَمُوا أَنَّ عِظَامَهُ فِي بَيْتِ اللَّهِ الْحَرَامِ- فَكَيْفَ صَارَتْ عِظَامُهُ بِالْكُوفَةِ
I said, ‘Adam-as had descended at Sarandeep at the emergence of the sun, and they are claiming that his-as bones are in the Sacred House of Allah-azwj, so how did his-as bones come to be at Al-Kufa?’
قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَوْحَى إِلَى نُوحٍ ع- وَ هُوَ فِي السَّفِينَةِ أَنْ يَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ أُسْبُوعاً
He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Revealed to Noah-as while he-as was in the ship: “Perform Tawaaf of the House (Kabah), seven circuits!”
فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ أُسْبُوعاً كَمَا أَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فِي الْمَاءِ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ فَاسْتَخْرَجَ تَابُوتاً فِيهِ عِظَامُ آدَمَ ع- فَحَمَلَ التَّابُوتَ فِي جَوْفِ السَّفِينَةِ حَتَّى طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَطُوفَ
He-as performed Tawaaf of the House (Kabah) seven circuits just as Allah-azwj had Revealed to him-as. Then he-as descended in the water to his-as knees. He-as brought out a box wherein were bones of Adam-as. He-as carried the box in the interior of the ship until he-as had performed Tawaaf of the House (Kabah) what Allah-azwj Desired him-as to perform Tawaaf.
ثُمَّ وَرَدَ إِلَى بَابِ الْكُوفَةِ فِي وَسَطِ مَسْجِدِهَا فَفِيهَا قَالَ اللَّهُ لِلْأَرْضِ ابْلَعِي ماءَكِ فَبَلَعَتْ مَاءَهَا مِنْ مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ كَمَا بَدَا الْمَاءُ مِنْ مَسْجِدِهَا وَ تَفَرَّقَ الْجَمْعُ الَّذِي كَانَ مَعَ نُوحٍ فِي السَّفِينَةِ
Then he-as arrived at the gate of Al-Kufa in the middle of its Masjid. In it, Allah-azwj Said to the earth: “swallow down your water, [11:44], so it swallowed its water from Masjid Al-Kufa just as the water had begun from its Masjid, and the crowd which was with Noah-as in the ship, dispersed.
فَأَخَذَ نُوحٌ التَّابُوتَ فَدَفَنَهُ فِي الْغَرِيِّ وَ هُوَ قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ الَّذِي كَلَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مُوسى تَكْلِيماً وَ قَدَّسَ عَلَيْهِ عِيسَى تَقْدِيساً وَ اتَّخَذَ عَلَيْهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلًا وَ اتَّخَذَ عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّداً حَبِيباً وَ جَعَلَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّينَ مَسْكَناً
Noah-as took the box and buried it in Al-Ghary, and it is a piece of the mountain which Allah‑azwj Spoke upon it to Musa-as in Conversation, and Sanctified Isa with sanctity upon it, and Took Ibrahim-as as a friend upon it, and Took Muhammad-saww as a Beloved upon it, and Made it a dwelling for the Prophets-as.
وَ اللَّهِ مَا سَكَنَ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ بَعْدَ أَبَوَيْهِ الطَّيِّبَيْنِ آدَمَ وَ نُوحٍ- أَكْرَمُ مِنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ
By Allah-azwj! No one has settled in it, after his-asws two fathers-as Adam-as and Noah-as, anyone more honourable than Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them‑as.
فَإِذَا زُرْتَ جَانِبَ النَّجَفِ فَزُرْ عِظَامَ آدَمَ وَ بَدَنَ نُوحٍ وَ جِسْمَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع- فَإِنَّكَ زَائِرٌ الْآبَاءَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ مُحَمَّداً ص- خَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ عَلِيّاً سَيِّدَ الْوَصِيِّينَ فَإِنَّ زَائِرَهُ يُفْتَحُ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ عِنْدَ دَعْوَتِهِ فَلَا تَكُنْ عَنِ الْخَيْرِ نَوَّاماً.
Thus, when you visit a side of al Najaf, you are visiting the bones of Adam-as, and body of Noah‑as, and the form of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, for you are a visitor of the fathers-as of the former ones, and Muhammad-saww Seal of the Prophets-saww, and Ali-asws Chief of the successors-as, for in visiting him-asws opens the doors of the sky at his supplication, so do not be sleeping from the goodness!’’[113]

بيان: قوله ع بعد أبويه أي بعد زمان دفن أبويه فلا ينافي كونه ع أفضل منهما و لعل صدور أمثاله لضعف عقول الناس و للخوف على ضعفاء الشيعة أو للتقية من المخالفين و أخبارنا مستفيضة في أن أئمتنا ع أفضل من غير نبينا من الأنبياء.
Explanation – His-asws words: ‘After his-asws two fathers-as’, i.e. after the era his-asws fathers-as (Adam-as and Noah-as, does not negate his-asws being superior to them-as both, and perhaps the issuance of his-asws examples for people of weak intellect, and for the fear upon the weak Shias, or for the Taqiyya from the adversaries, and our Ahadeeth are abundant regarding that our Imams-asws are superior to the Prophets-as, other than our Prophet-saww.

‘O Hassan! Do you visit graves of the martyrs among you?’

Explanation – His-asws words, we-asws would have taken them for migration’, i.e. we-asws would have emigrated to them-asws and taken a homeland with them-asws. This indicates the virtue of residing near them-asws, and I will be bringing the words regarding it.

He-asws said: ‘Al-Husayn-asws was killed in distress, so there is a right upon Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Mention that no distressed one comes to him-asws except Allah-azwj Relieves his stress and the merit of Ziyarat of Amir Al-Momineen-asws over the Ziyarat of the grave of Al-Husayn-asws is like the merit of Amir Al-Momineen-asws over Al-Husayn-asws’.

‘I heard Abu Abdullah Al-Sadiq-asws saying: ‘A Bedouin came to Rasool-Allah-saww.

He-asws remained at it for a number of years’ disliking mingling with the people and interacting with them, and from his-asws staying in the wilderness at it, he-asws would come as a visitor to his-asws father-asws and his-asws grandfather-asws, and no one was aware of his-asws actions of that.
قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ- فَخَرَجَ سَلَامُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ مُتَوَجِّهاً إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ لِزِيَارَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ- صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَنَا مَعَهُ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَنَا ذُو رُوحٍ إِلَّا النَّاقَتَيْنِ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى النَّجَفِ مِنْ بِلَادِ الْكُوفَةِ وَ صَارَ إِلَى مَكَانٍ مِنْهُ فَبَكَى حَتَّى اخْضَلَّتْ لِحْيَتُهُ بِدُمُوعِهِ
Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws said: ‘He-asws, may the Greeting of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws heading to Al Iraq for visiting Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, and I-asws was with him-asws and there was no one with a soul with us-asws except the two camels. When he-asws entered to Al-Najaf from the city of Al-Kufa, and came to be to a place from it. He-asws cried until his-asws beard was moistened by his-asws tears.
وَ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِينَ اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ وَ حُجَّتَهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ جَاهَدْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ وَ عَمِلْتَ بِكِتَابِهِ وَ اتَّبَعْتَ سُنَنَ نَبِيِّهِ ص- حَتَّى دَعَاكَ اللَّهُ إِلَى جِوَارِهِ فَقَبَضَكَ إِلَيْهِ بِاخْتِيَارِهِ لَكَ كَرِيمَ ثَوَابِهِ وَ أَلْزَمَ أَعْدَاءَكَ الْحُجَّةَ مَعَ مَا لَكَ مِنَ الْحُجَجِ الْبَالِغَةِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ
And he-asws said: ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and his Blessings! The greetings be upon you-asws O trustee of Allah-azwj in His-azwj earth, and His-azwj Divine Authority! I testify you-asws had fought, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, for the Sake of Allah-azwj as is the right of fighting, and worked with His-azwj Book, and followed the Sunnah of His-azwj Prophet-saww, until Allah-azwj Called you to His-azwj Shelter! He-azwj Recalled you-asws to Him-azwj with His-azwj Choice for you-asws His-azwj honourable Rewards, and Necessitated the arguments to your-asws enemies with what arguments from the conclusive argument upon His-azwj servants!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اجْعَلْ نَفْسِي مُطْمَئِنَّةً بِقَدَرِكَ رَاضِيَةً بِقَضَائِكَ مُولَعَةً بِذِكْرِكَ وَ دُعَائِكَ مُحِبَّةً لِصَفْوَةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ مَحْبُوبَةً فِي أَرْضِكَ وَ سَمَائِكَ صَابِرَةً عِنْدَ نُزُولِ بَلَائِكَ شَاكِرَةً لِفَوَاضِلِ نَعْمَائِكَ ذَاكِرَةً لِسَابِغِ آلَائِكَ مُشْتَاقَةً إِلَى فَرْحَةِ لِقَائِكَ مُتَزَوِّدَةً التَّقْوَى لِيَوْمِ جَزَائِكَ مُسْتَنَّةً بِسُنَنِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ مُفَارِقَةً لِأَخْلَاقِ أَعْدَائِكَ مَشْغُولَةً عَنِ الدُّنْيَا بِحَمْدِكَ وَ ثَنَائِكَ-
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and Make my soul reassured with Your-azwj Pre-determination, contented with Your-azwj Decrees, filled with Your-azwj Zikr supplicating to You-azwj, love for Your-azwj elite Guardians, beloved in Your-azwj earth and Your-azwj skies, patient at the descent Your-azwj afflictions, thankful for Your-azwj Gracious bounties for Your-azwj abundant Favours, yearning to the joy of meeting You-azwj, provided the piety for the Day of Your-azwj Recompense, and practising the practices of Your-azwj friends, distancing from the mannerism of Your-azwj enemies, and too pre-occupied from the world with praising You-azwj and lauding You-azwj!’
ثُمَّ وَضَعَ خَدَّهُ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ قُلُوبَ الْمُخْبِتِينَ إِلَيْكَ وَالِهَةٌ وَ سُبُلَ الرَّاغِبِينَ إِلَيْكَ شَارِعَةٌ وَ أَعْلَامَ الْقَاصِدِينَ إِلَيْكَ وَاضِحَةٌ وَ أَفْئِدَةَ الْوَافِدِينَ إِلَيْكَ فَازِعَةٌ
Then he-asws placed his-asws cheek upon his-asws grave and said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Indeed, the hearts of those who humble themselves to You-azwj are in longing, and the paths of those who seek You-azwj are clear. The signs for those who are journeying to You-azwj are evident, and the hearts of those who arrive at You-azwj are in awe.
وَ أَصْوَاتَ الدَّاعِينَ إِلَيْكَ صَاعِدَةٌ وَ أَبْوَابَ الْإِجَابَةِ لَهُمْ مُفَتَّحَةٌ وَ دَعْوَةَ مَنْ نَاجَاكَ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ وَ تَوْبَةَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَيْكَ مَقْبُولَةٌ وَ عَبْرَةَ مَنْ بَكَى مِنْ خَوْفِكَ مَرْحُومَةٌ وَ الْإِغَاثَةَ لِمَنِ اسْتَغَاثَ بِكَ مَوْجُودَةٌ وَ الْإِعَانَةَ لِمَنِ اسْتَعَانَ بِكَ مَبْذُولَةٌ وَ عِدَاتِكَ لِعِبَادِكَ مُنْجَزَةٌ
The voices of those who call upon You-azwj rise, and the doors of acceptance are open to them. The supplication of one who whispers to You-azwj is Answered, and the repentance of one who turns to You-azwj is accepted. The tears of one who weeps from fear of You-azwj are met with Mercy, and the help for those who seek Your-azwj Assistance is available. The support for those who ask You-azwj for help is Granted, and Your-azwj promises to Your-azwj servants are Fulfilled.
وَ زَلَلَ مَنِ اسْتَقَالَكَ مُقَالَةٌ وَ أَعْمَالَ الْعَامِلِينَ لَدَيْكَ مَحْفُوظَةٌ وَ أَرْزَاقَ الْخَلَائِقِ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ نَازِلَةٌ وَ عَوَائِدَ الْمَزِيدِ مُتَوَاتِرَةٌ وَ جَوَائِزَ الْمُسْتَطْعِمِينَ مُعَدَّةٌ وَ مَنَاهِلَ الظِّمَاءِ مُتْرَعَةٌ
The missteps of those who seek Your-azwj Pardon are Forgiven, and the deeds of the workers are preserved with You-azwj. The provisions for all creatures come down from You-azwj, and the rewards of the increase are continuous. The prizes for the hungry are prepared, and the wells of the thirsty are filled with water!
اللَّهُمَّ فَاسْتَجِبْ دُعَائِي وَ اقْبَلْ ثَنَائِي وَ اجْمَعْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ أَوْلِيَائِي وَ أَحِبَّائِي بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ آبَائِي إِنَّكَ وَلِيُّ نَعْمَائِي وَ مُنْتَهَى مُنَايَ وَ غَايَةُ رَجَائِي فِي مُنْقَلَبِي وَ مَثْوَايَ-
O Allah-azwj! Answer my supplication, and Accept my laudation, and Gather between me and my friends, and my loved ones by the right of Muhammad-saww, and Ali-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, my-asws forefathers-asws, You-azwj are in Charge of the bounties and the ultimate of my-asws wishes, and peak of my-asws hopes in my transfer and my-asws abode!’
قَالَ جَابِرٌ قَالَ الْبَاقِرُ ع مَا قَالَ هَذَا الْكَلَامَ وَ لَا دَعَا بِهِ أَحَدٌ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا عِنْدَ قَبْرِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ- أَوْ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع إِلَّا رُفِعَ دُعَاؤُهُ فِي دَرَجٍ مِنْ نُورٍ وَ طُبِعَ عَلَيْهِ بِخَاتَمِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ كَانَ مَحْفُوظاً كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى يُسَلَّمَ إِلَى قَائِمِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع فَيَلْقَى صَاحِبَهُ بِالْبُشْرَى وَ التَّحِيَّةِ وَ الْكَرَامَةِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
Jabir said, ‘Al-Baqir-asws said: ‘No one from our-asws Shias will say speech nor supplicated with it by the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, or by the grave of any one of the Imams-asws except his supplication will be Raised in a staircase of light and sealed upon by a seal of Muhammad-saww, and it would be preserved like that until it is submitted to Qaim-ajfj of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, so he will meet his-ajfj companions with the glad tidings and the salutations and the honours, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires!’’[135]
10- قَالَ جَابِرٌ حَدَّثْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ع وَ قَالَ لِي زِدْ فِيهِ إِذَا وَدَّعْتَ أَحَداً مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع فَقُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْإِمَامُ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ اللَّهَ وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ آمَنَّا بِالرَّسُولِ وَ بِمَا جِئْتُمْ بِهِ وَ دَعَوْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ
Jabir said, ‘I narrated it to Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, and he-asws said to me: ‘Add in it – ‘When you bid farewell to anyone of the Imams-asws, say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, O Imam-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! I entrust you-asws to Allah-azwj, and upon you-asws be the greeting and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings, believing in the Rasool-saww with what you-asws had come with and had called to!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَتِي وَلِيَّكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنِي ثَوَابَ مَزَارِهِ الَّذِي أَوْجَبْتَ لَهُ وَ يَسِّرْ لَنَا الْعَوْدَ إِلَيْهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
O Allah-azwj! Do not make is last of the pact of my visiting Your-azwj Guardian! O Allah-azwj! Do not Deprive me the Reward of visiting him-asws I am obligated for, and Ease for us the returning to him-asws, if Allah-azwj so Desires!’’[136]
قلت يوم الغدير يختص بيومه زيادات في كتاب المسرة من كتاب مزار ابن أبي قرة و هي زيارات يوم الغدير رويناها عن جماعة إليه رحمه الله قال أخبرنا محمد بن عبد الله و ذكر نحوه.
I said: The Day of Ghadeer has specific additions for its day in the Book of Al Masarrah from the Book of Mazar by Ibn Abu Qurra, which includes the visitations for the Day of Ghadeer. We have narrated them from a group, may Allah-azwj Mercy him. He said, ‘Muhammad ibn Abdullah informed us’ and mentioned something similar.
ثم قال و قد زاره مولانا الصادق ع بنحو هذه الألفاظ من الزيارة تركنا ذكرها خوفا من الإطالة.
Then he said, Our master, Al-Sadiq-asws, performed Ziyarat with nearly these same words of the visitation, but we omitted mentioning them to avoid lengthiness.
أقول و روى جدي أبو جعفر الطوسي هذه الزيارة ليوم الغدير عن جابر الجعفي عن الباقر ع أن مولانا علي بن الحسين ع زار بها و في ألفاظها خلاف و لم يذكر فيها وداعا انتهى كلام السيد.
I say, my grandfather, Abu Ja‘far Al-Tusi, narrated this visitation for the Day of Ghadeer from Jabir Al Ju‘fi, from Al Baqir-asws, stating that our master, Ali-asws Ibn Al-Husayn-asws, performed this visitation. However, there is variation in its wording, and it does not include a farewell. This concludes the statement of the Sayyid.
و أقول إنما أوردتها هاهنا لأنه ليس في لفظ الخبر ما يدل على الاختصاص بيوم.
And I say, I have included it here because the wording of the narration does not indicate that it is exclusive to that day.

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع مَضَى أَبِي إِلَى قَبْرِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِالْمَجَازِ- وَ هُوَ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْكُوفَةِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ بَكَى وَ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ سَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ فَيَتَلَقَّى صَاحِبَهُ بِالْبُشْرَى وَ التَّحِيَّةِ وَ الْكَرَامَةِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘My-asws father-asws went to the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws at Al-Majaz, and it is from an area of Al-Kufa. He-asws paused at it, then cried and said: ‘The greeting be upon you-asws’ – and continued the Hadeeth up to his-asws words – ‘So he will meet his-ajfj companions with the glad tidings, and the salutation, and the honour, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires!’’[137]

(The book) ‘Farhat Al-Ghary’ – The minister Al Saeed Naseer Al Deen Al Tusi, from his father, from Fazalullah Al Rawandy, from Zil Faqar Bin Ma’bad, from Sheykh Al Taaifa, from Al Mufeed, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Dawood, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Al Fuzeul, from Muhammad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Ziyah, from Ubeydullah Bin Naheek, from Isa Bin Hisham, from Salih Bin Saeed, from Yunus Bin Zabyan who said,
‘I came to Abu Abdullah-asws when he-asws arrived at Al-Hira’ – and he mentioned a Hadeeth we have already narrated except he travelled with him-asws – ‘Until we came to the place which he-asws wanted. He-asws said: ‘O Yunus! Tie your mount (with mine-asws)’.
أَتَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع حِينَ قَدِمَ الْحِيرَةَ وَ ذَكَرَ حَدِيثاً حَدَّثَنَاهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ سَارَ مَعَهُ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي أَرَادَ فَقَالَ يَا يُونُسُ اقْرِنْ دَابَّتَكَ فَقَرَنْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَهُ فَدَعَا دُعَاءً خَفِيّاً لَا أَفْهَمُهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ فَقَرَأَ فِيهَا سُورَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ يَجْهَرُ فِيهِمَا وَ فَعَلْتُ كَمَا فَعَلَ ثُمَّ دَعَا فَفَهِمْتُهُ وَ عَلَّمَنِيهِ وَ قَالَ يَا يُونُسُ أَ تَدْرِي أَيُّ مَكَانٍ هَذَا
It tied the two. Then he-asws raised his-asws hands and supplication with a silent supplication, I could not understand it. Then he-asws began the Salat and read two light (easy) Chapters in it being aloud in these, and I did just as he-asws had done. Then he-asws supplicated, so I understood it and learnt it, and he-asws said: ‘O Yunus! Do you know which place this is?’
قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ وَ لَكِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ
I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, no by Allah-azwj but I do know I am in the desert!’
قَالَ هَذَا قَبْرُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع يَلْتَقِي هُوَ وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
He-asws said: ‘This is the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws! He-asws and Rasool-Allah-saww meet (are together) up to the Day of Qiyamah!’
الدُّعَاءُ اللَّهُمَّ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ أَمْرِكَ وَ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ قَدَرِكَ وَ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ قَضَائِكَ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ
The supplication – ‘O Allah-azwj! There is neither any escape from Your-azwj Command, nor any escape from Your-azwj Pre-Determination, nor any escape from Your-azwj Decree, nor is there any might nor strength except with You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ فَمَا قَضَيْتَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ قَضَاءٍ وَ قَدَّرْتَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ قَدَرٍ فَأَعْطِنَا مَعَهُ صَبْراً يَقْهَرُهُ وَ يَدْمَغُهُ وَ اجْعَلْهُ لَنَا صَاعِداً فِي رِضْوَانِكَ يُنْمِي فِي حَسَنَاتِنَا وَ تَفْضِيلِنَا وَ سُؤْدُدِنَا وَ شَرَفِنَا وَ مَجْدِنَا وَ نَعْمَائِنَا وَ كَرَامَتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ لَا تَنْقُصُ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِنَا
O Allah-azwj! Whatever You-azwj have Decreed upon us from a Decree, and Pre-determined upon us from Pre-determination, Grant us patience with it to subdue it and crush it, and Make it for us to ascend into Your-azwj Pleasure growing our good deeds, and our grace, and our honour, and our nobility, and our bounties, and our prestige in the world and the Hereafter, and do not Reduce from our good deeds!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنَا مِنْ عَطَاءٍ أَوْ فَضَّلْتَنَا بِهِ مِنْ فَضِيلَةٍ أَوْ أَكْرَمْتَنَا بِهِ مِنْ كَرَامَةٍ فَأَعْطِنَا مَعَهُ شُكْراً يَقْهَرُهُ وَ يَدْمَغُهُ وَ اجْعَلْهُ لَنَا صَاعِداً فِي رِضْوَانِكَ وَ حَسَنَاتِنَا وَ سُؤْدُدِنَا وَ شَرَفِنَا وَ نَعْمَائِكَ وَ كَرَامَتِكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ لَنَا أَشَراً وَ لَا بَطَراً وَ لَا فِتْنَةً وَ لَا مَقْتاً وَ لَا عَذَاباً وَ لَا خِزْياً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ
O Allah-azwj, and whatever gift You-azwj have Given us, or virtue with which You-azwj have Favoured us, or Honour with which You-azwj have Dignified us, Grant us with it gratitude that overcomes and subdues it. Make it ascend for us in Your-azwj Pleasure, in our good deeds, our virtue, our honour, Your-azwj bounties, and Your-azwj dignity in this world and the Hereafter, and neither Make it a cause of arrogance, nor pride, nor tribulation, nor Wrath, not Punishment, nor disgrace for us in this world and the Hereafter!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَثْرَةِ اللِّسَانِ وَ سُوءِ الْمَقَامِ وَ خِفَّةِ الْمِيزَانِ
O Allah-azwj! We seek Refuge with You-azwj from stumbles of the tongue, and the evil position, and the light Scale!
اللَّهُمَّ لَقِّنَا حَسَنَاتِنَا فِي الْمَمَاتِ وَ لَا تُرِنَا أَعْمَالَنَا عَلَيْنَا حَسَرَاتٍ وَ لَا تُخْزِنَا عِنْدَ قَضَائِكَ وَ لَا تَفْضَحْنَا بِسَيِّئَاتِنَا يَوْمَ نَلْقَاكَ وَ اجْعَلْ قُلُوبَنَا تَذْكُرُكَ وَ لَا تَنْسَاكَ وَ تَخْشَاكَ كَأَنَّهَا تَرَاكَ حَتَّى تَلْقَاكَ وَ بَدِّلْ سَيِّئَاتِنَا حَسَنَاتٍ وَ اجْعَلْ حَسَنَاتِنَا دَرَجَاتٍ وَ اجْعَلْ دَرَجَاتِنَا غُرُفَاتٍ وَ اجْعَلْ غُرُفَاتِنَا عَالِيَاتٍ
O Allah-azwj! Make us receive our good deeds at the time of death, and do not let our deeds become a source of regret for us. Do not disgrace us before Your-azwj Judgment, nor Expose us with our sins on the day we meet You-azwj! Make our hearts remember You-azwj and never forget You-azwj, and fear You-azwj as if they see You-azwj until they meet You-azwj! Replace our sins with good deeds, and Elevate our good deeds into higher ranks, and Turn our ranks into lofty chambers, and Make those chambers exalted!
اللَّهُمَّ أَوْسِعْ لِفَقْرِنَا مِنْ سَعَةِ مَا قَضَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Grant us more in our poverty than the vastness of what You-azwj have Decreed for Yourself-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِالْهُدَى مَا أَبْقَيْتَنَا وَ الْكَرَامَةِ إِذَا تَوَفَّيْتَنَا بِهِ وَ الْحِفْظِ فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِنَا وَ الْبَرَكَةِ فِيمَا رَزَقْتَنَا وَ الْعَوْنِ عَلَى مَا حَمَّلْتَنَا وَ الثَّبَاتِ عَلَى مَا طَوَّقْتَنَا
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Confer upon us with the Guidance for as long as You-azwj Cause us to remain, and the honour when You-azwj Cause us to die with it, and the Protection in what remain from our lifetime, and the Blessings in what You-azwj have Provided us, and the Assistance upon what You-azwj Load us, and to be steadfast upon what You-azwj have Collared us!
وَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا بِظُلْمِنَا وَ لَا تُعَاقِبْنَا بِجَهْلِنَا وَ لَا تَسْتَدْرِجْنَا بِخَطِيئَتِنَا وَ اجْعَلْ أَحْسَنَ مَا نَقُولُ ثَابِتاً فِي قُلُوبِنَا وَ اجْعَلْنَا عُظَمَاءَ عِنْدَكَ أَذِلَّةً فِي أَنْفُسِنَا وَ انْفَعْنَا بِمَا عَلَّمْتَنَا وَ زِدْنَا عِلْماً نَافِعاً
And do not Seize us for our injustices nor Punish us for our ignorance, nor Encroach us due to our misdeeds, and Make the best of what we say to be affirmed in our hearts, and Make us great in Your-azwj Presence, humble within ourselves, and Benefit us with what You-azwj have Taught us, and Increase us in beneficial knowledge!
أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَ مِنْ عَيْنٍ لَا تَدْمَعُ وَ صَلَاةٍ لَا تُقْبَلُ أَجِرْنَا مِنْ سُوءِ الْفِتَنِ يَا وَلِيَّ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.
I seek Refuge with You-azwj from having a hear that does not fear, and from an eye not shedding tears, and Salat not been Accepted! Shelter us from evil of the Fitna, O Guardian of the world and the Hereafter!’’[138]
نقلته من خط الطوسي من التهذيب.
Note – I copied it from the handwriting of Al-Tusi from (the book) ‘Al-Tahzeeb’.
13- قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلَّانٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ عُبَيْسِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ صَالِحٍ الْقَمَّاطِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ ظَبْيَانَ مِثْلَهُ.
Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Dawood said, ‘We are informed by Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Allan, from Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Qasim Bin Ismail, from Ubeys Bin Hisham, from Salih Al Qammat, from Yunus Bin Zabyan – similar to it.[139]
بيان: في النسخ التي عندنا من التهذيب يلتقي هو و رسول الله ص يوم القيامة فالمعنى أنه و إن فرق بين قبريهما لكنهما في القيامة لا يفترقان و ما في هذه النسخة أظهر و المعنى أنهما و إن افترقا ظاهرا لكنهما ليسا بمفترقين بل يلتقيان في البرزخ إلى يوم القيامة بأرواحهما ثم في القيامة يلتقيان بأجسادهما.
Explanation – In the copies of (the book) ‘Al Tahzeeb’ that we have, it is mentioned that he (Ali-asws),and Rasool-Allah-azwj will meet on the Day of Qiyamah. The meaning is that although their graves may be separated in this world, on the Day of Qiyamah, they will not be separated. What is in this version is clearer in meaning, although they-asws may appear separate outwardly, they-asws are not truly separated, and they-asws meet in the purgatory with their-asws souls. Then, on the Day of Qiyamah, they-asws will meet with their-asws bodies.

(The book) ‘Farhat Al-Ghary’ – My father, from Muhammad Bin Nama, from Muhammad Bin Idrees, from Araby Bin Musafir, from Ilyas Bin Hisham, from Ibn Sheykh Al Taifa, from his father, from Al Mufeed, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Dawood, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Ahmad Bin Al-Husayn Bin Abdul Malik Al Awdy Al Bazzaz, from Zubyan Bin Hakeem, from Yunus Bin Zabyan,
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا أَرَدْتَ زِيَارَةَ قَبْرِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَتَوَضَّأْ وَ اغْتَسِلْ وَ امْشِ عَلَى هُنَيْئَتِكَ وَ قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَنِي بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ وَ مَعْرِفَةِ رَسُولِهِ ص وَ مَنْ فَرَضَ طَاعَتَهُ رَحْمَةً مِنْهُ لِي وَ تَطَوُّلًا مِنْهُ عَلَيَّ بِالْإِيمَانِ
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When you intend Ziyarat of the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, perform Wud’u, and bathe, and walk being upon your calmness and say, ‘The Praise is Allah-azwj Who Honoured me with recognising Him-azwj recognising His-azwj Rasool-saww, and one Who Obligated obedience to him-asws as Mercy from Him-azwj to me, and as Leniency from Him-azwj upon me with the Eman!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي سَيَّرَنِي فِي بِلَادِهِ وَ حَمَلَنِي عَلَى دَوَابِّهِ وَ طَوَى لِيَ الْبَعِيدَ وَ دَفَعَ عَنِّيَ الْمَكْرُوهَ حَتَّى أَدْخَلَنِي حَرَمَ أَخِي رَسُولِهِ فَأَرَانِيهِ فِي عَافِيَةٍ
The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Made me travel in His-azwj land and Carried me upon His-azwj animal, and folded (brought near) the remote for me and Repelled the abhorrence away from me until He-azwj Made me entered the Shrine of the brother-asws of His-azwj Rasool-saww, so I saw him-asws being in well-being!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَنِي مِنْ زُوَّارِ قَبْرِ وَصِيِّ رَسُولِهِ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدانا لِهذا وَ ما كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْ لا أَنْ هَدانَا اللَّهُ
The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Made me from the visitors of the grave of the successor-asws of His-azwj Rasool-saww! ‘The Praise is for Allah Who Guided us to this, and we would not have been rightly Guided if Allah had not Guided us. [7:43]!
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ جَاءَ بِالْحَقِّ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَ أَخُو رَسُولِهِ ع-
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-as! He-saww came with the truth from Him-azwj, and I testify that Ali-asws is a servant of Allah-azwj and brother of His-azwj Rasool-saww!
اللَّهُمَّ عَبْدُكَ وَ زَائِرُكَ يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِزِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ أَخِي رَسُولِكَ- وَ عَلَى كُلِّ مَأْتِيٍّ حَقٌّ لِمَنْ أَتَاهُ وَ زَارَهُ وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَأْتِيٍّ وَ أَكْرَمُ مَزُورٍ
O Allah-azwj! Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj visitor is drawing closer to You-azwj with a Ziyarat of the grave of the brother-asws of Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and for every visited there is a right for the one who comes to him and visits him, and you-asws are best of the ones come to, and most honourable of the visited!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا جَوَادُ يَا وَاحِدُ يَا أَحَدُ يَا فَرْدُ يَا صَمَدُ يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ تُحْفَتَكَ إِيَّايَ مِنْ زِيَارَتِي فِي مَوْقِفِي هَذَا فَكَاكَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ
I ask You-azwj O Allah-azwj, O Beneficent, O Merciful, O Generous, O the One, O the One, O Individual, O Non-hollow! O the One who does not beget and is not begotten, and there does not happen to be a match for Him-azwj, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household and Make Your-azwj gift to me of my Ziyarat in this pausing of mine to be liberation of my neck from the Hellfire!
وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ يُسَارِعُ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَ يَدْعُوكَ رَغَباً وَ رَهَباً وَ اجْعَلْنِي لَكَ مِنَ الْخَاشِعِينَ
And Make me from the ones who is quick to the good deeds, and supplicates to You-azwj desiring and fearing, and Make me from the ones fearful to You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ بَشَّرْتَنِي عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَقُلْتَ وَ بَشِّرِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنَّ لَهُمْ قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj have Given me glad tidings upon the tongue of Your-azwj Prophet Muhammad-saww, so You-azwj Said: and give glad tidings to those who believe that, for them would be a true footing in the Presence of their Lord [10:2].
اللَّهُمَّ فَإِنِّي بِكَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ بِجَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ فَلَا تُوقِفْنِي بَعْدَ مَعْرِفَتِهِمْ مَوْقِفاً تَفْضَحُنِي بِهِ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْخَلَائِقِ بَلْ أَوْقِفْنِي مَعَهُمْ وَ تَوَفَّنِي عَلَى التَّصْدِيقِ بِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عَبِيدُكَ وَ أَنْتَ خَصَصْتَهُمْ بِكَرَامَتِكَ وَ أَمَرْتَنِي بِاتِّبَاعِهِمْ-
O Allah-azwj! Indeed I believe in You-azwj and in all of Your-azwj Prophets-as. So do not Place me, after acknowledging them, in a position that will disgrace me in front of the heads of creation. Rather, Place me with them and cause me to die in the belief in them. For they are Your-azwj servants, and You-azwj have chosen them with Your-azwj Honour, and You-azwj have Commanded me to follow them!’
ثُمَّ تَدْنُو مِنَ الْقَبْرِ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ أَمِينِ اللَّهِ عَلَى رِسَالاتِهِ وَ عَزَائِمِ أَمْرِهِ وَ مَعْدِنِ الْوَحْيِ وَ التَّنْزِيلِ الْخَاتِمِ لِمَا سَبَقَ وَ الْفَاتِحِ لِمَا اسْتَقْبَلَ وَ الْمُهَيْمِنِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ وَ الشَّاهِدِ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ السِّرَاجِ الْمُنِيرِ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

O Allah-azwj! Curse them in the deepest of the secrecy and apparent openness, in Your-azwj skies and You-azwj earth!
اللَّهُمَ اجْعَلْ لِي لِسانَ صِدْقٍ فِي أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ حَبِّبْ إِلَيَّ مَشْهَدَهُمْ وَ مَشَاهِدَهُمْ حَتَّى تُلْحِقَنِي بِهِمْ وَ تَجْعَلَنِي لَهُمْ تَبَعاً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-
O Allah-azwj! Make for me a truthful tongue among Your-azwj Guardians, and Make their Shrines and witnessing them-asws beloved to me until You-azwj Join me with them-asws, and Make me a follower of theirs-asws in the world and the Hereafter, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
وَ اجْلِسْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ وَ قُلْ سَلَامُ اللَّهِ وَ سَلَامُ مَلَائِكَتِهِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ الْمُسَلِّمِينَ لَكَ بِقُلُوبِهِمْ وَ النَّاطِقِينَ بِفَضْلِكَ وَ الشَّاهِدِينَ عَلَى أَنَّكَ صَادِقٌ أَمِينٌ صِدِّيقٌ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى رُوحِكَ وَ بَدَنِكَ
And be seated by his-asws head and say, ‘May the Greeting of Allah-azwj, and greeting of His-azwj Angels of Proximity, and submitters to you-asws with their hearts, and the speakers of his-asws merits, and the testifiers upon that you-asws are truthful, trusted, sincere to You-azwj! O my Master! May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon you-asws, and upon your-asws soul and your-asws body!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ طُهْرٌ طَاهِرٌ مُطَهَّرٌ مِنْ طُهْرٍ طَاهِرٍ مُطَهَّرٍ أَشْهَدُ لَكَ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ وَ وَلِيَّ رَسُولِهِ بِالْبَلَاغِ وَ الْأَدَاءِ
I testify you-asws are purifier, pure, purified, from a purifier, pure, purified (ancestors)! I testify to you-asws, O Guardian of Allah-azwj and guardian of His-azwj Rasool-saww with the delivery (of the Message), and the fulfilment!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ حَبِيبُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّكَ بَابُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّكَ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي مِنْهُ يُؤْتَى وَ أَنَّكَ سَبِيلُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَ أَخُو رَسُولِهِ
And I testify you-asws are a Beloved of Allah-azwj, and you-asws are a gateway of Allah-azwj, and you-asws are a Face of Allah-azwj which He-azwj can be accessed from, and you-asws are the way of Allah-azwj, and you-asws a servant of Allah-azwj and brother-asws of His-azwj Rasool-saww!
أَتَيْتُكَ وَافِداً لِعَظِيمِ حَالِكَ وَ مَنْزِلَتِكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِهِ مُتَقَرِّباً إِلَى اللَّهِ بِزِيَارَتِكَ طَالِباً خَلَاصَ نَفْسِي مِنَ النَّارِ
I have come to you-asws as a visitor, acknowledging the greatness of your-asws status and rank before Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww, seeking closeness to Allah-azwj through your-asws visitation, and asking for the salvation of my soul from the Hellfire.
مُتَعَوِّذاً بِكَ مِنْ نَارٍ اسْتَحْقَقْتُهَا بِمَا جَنَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي أَتَيْتُكَ انْقِطَاعاً إِلَيْكَ وَ إِلَى وَلَدِكَ الْخَلَفِ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ عَلَى بَرَكَةِ الْحَقِّ فَقَلْبِي لَكُمْ مُسَلِّمٌ وَ أَمْرِي لَكُمْ مُتَّبِعٌ وَ نُصْرَتِي لَكُمْ مُعَدَّةٌ
I seek refuge in you-asws from the Hellfire that I have deserved due to what I have brought upon myself. I have come to you-asws in complete devotion to you-asws and to your-asws rightful successor after you-asws, upon the blessing of truth. My heart is in submission to you-asws, my affairs are in obedience to you-asws, and my support is prepared for you-asws!
أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَ مَوْلَاكَ وَ فِي طَاعَتِكَ الْوَافِدُ إِلَيْكَ أَلْتَمِسُ بِذَلِكَ كَمَالَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْتَ مِمَّنْ أَمَرَنِي اللَّهُ بِصِلَتِهِ وَ حَثَّنِي عَلَى بِرِّهِ وَ دَلَّنِي عَلَى فَضْلِهِ وَ هَدَانِي لِحُبِّهِ وَ رَغَّبَنِي فِي الْوِفَادَةِ إِلَيْهِ وَ أَلْهَمَنِي طَلَبَ الْحَوَائِجِ عِنْدَهُ
I am a servant of Allah-azwj and your-asws loyal follower, obedient to you-asws, having come to you-asws seeking the perfection of status before Allah-azwj. You-asws are among those whom Allah-azwj has Commanded me to maintain ties with, encouraged me to show kindness to, guided me to recognise their virtue, led me to love, and inspired me to visit. He has instilled in me the desire to seek my needs through you-asws.
أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ سَعِدَ مَنْ تَوَلَّاكُمْ وَ لَا يَخِيبُ مَنْ أَتَاكُمْ وَ لَا يَسْعَدُ مَنْ عَادَاكُمْ لَا أَجِدُ أَحَداً أَفْزَعُ إِلَيْهِ خَيْراً لِي مِنْكُمْ أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ دَعَائِمُ الدِّينِ وَ أَرْكَانُ الْأَرْضِ وَ الشَّجَرَةُ الطَّيِّبَةُ
You-asws are a household whose friendship brings happiness, whose visitors are never disappointed, and whose enemies never prosper. I find no one better than you-asws to turn to in my distress. You-asws are the Household of Mercy, and the pillars of religion, and foundations of the earth, and the Blessed tree!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُخَيِّبْ تَوَجُّهِي إِلَيْكَ بِرَسُولِكَ وَ آلِ رَسُولِكَ- وَ لَا تَرُدَّ اسْتِشْفَاعِي بِهِمْ
O Allah-azwj! Do not disappoint my diverting to You-azwj through Your-azwj Rasool-saww and Progeny-asws of Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and do not Reject my intercession by them-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ مَنَنْتَ عَلَيَّ بِزِيَارَةِ مَوْلَايَ وَ وَلَايَتِهِ وَ مَعْرِفَتِهِ فَاجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ تَنْصُرُهُ وَ مِمَّنْ تَنْتَصِرُ بِهِ وَ مُنَّ عَلَيَّ بِنَصْرِي لِدِينِكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj have Conferred upon me with Ziyarat of my Master, and his-asws Wilayah, and his-asws recognition, so Make me from the one You-azwj will be Helping him-asws, and from the ones You-azwj will be helped by, and Confer upon me with being a helper of Your-azwj religion in the world and the Hereafter!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَحْيَا عَلَى مَا حَيِيَ عَلَيْهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ- وَ أَمُوتُ عَلَى مَا مَاتَ عَلَيْهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع-
O Allah-azwj! I live upon what Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws had lived upon, and I die upon what Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws had died upon!’
وَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ الْوَدَاعَ فَقُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ اللَّهَ وَ أَسْتَرْعِيكَ.
And when you want to bid farewell, say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! I entrust you-asws to Allah-azwj and place you-asws under His-azwj Care!’’[140]
وَ سَبِّحْ تَسْبِيحَ الزَّهْرَاءِ فَاطِمَةَ ع وَ هُوَ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْجَلَالِ الْبَاذِخِ الْعَظِيمِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْعِزِّ الشَّامِخِ الْمُنِيفِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْمُلْكِ الْفَاخِرِ الْقَدِيمِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْبَهْجَةِ وَ الْجَمَالِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ تَرَدَّى بِالنُّورِ وَ الْوَقَارِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ يَرَى أَثَرَ النَّمْلِ فِي الصَّفَا وَ وَقْعَ الطَّيْرِ فِي الْهَوَاءِ.
And he should glorify with the glorification of (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and it is – ‘Glory be to the Possessor of the Glorious Great Majesty! Possessor of the Lofty Might, the Invincible! Glory be to the Possessor of the pride-worthy Kingdom, the Ancient! Glory be to the Possessor of the Splendour and the Beauty! Glory be to the One Robed with the Noor and the Dignity! Glory be to the One Who Sees the impacts of the ant in the solid rock and fall of the bird in the air!’’[141]
قَالَ ص يَحْمِلُ هَذَا الْعِلْمَ مِنْ كُلِّ خَلَفٍ عُدُولٌ.
He-saww said: ‘This knowledge will be carried by the just ones of every generation!’’[142]
15- حة، فرحة الغري ذَكَرَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمَشْهَدِيِّ فِي مَزَارِهِ مَا صُورَتُهُ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِهِمْ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ قَالَ: لَمَّا وَافَيْتُ مَعَ جَعْفَرٍ الصَّادِقِ ع الْكُوفَةَ يُرِيدُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ الْمَنْصُورَ قَالَ لِي يَا صَفْوَانُ أَنِخِ الرَّاحِلَةَ فَهَذَا قَبْرُ جَدِّي أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأَنَخْتُهَا
(The book) ‘Farhat Al-Ghary’ – Muhammad Bin Al Mashhady mentioned in his ‘Mazaar’ what its outline is, ‘It is narrated to us by Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad, from one of them, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Isa, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Safwan Al Jammal who said,
‘When I arrived with Ja’far Al-Sadiq-asws to Al-Kufa intending to see Abu Ja’far Al-Mansour (the caliph). He-asws said to me: ‘Kneel the camel, for this is the grave of my-asws grandfather Amir Al-Momineen-asws!’ So, I made it kneel.
ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَاغْتَسَلَ وَ غَيَّرَ ثَوْبَهُ وَ تَحَفَّى وَ قَالَ لِيَ افْعَلْ مِثْلَ مَا أَفْعَلُهُ
Then he-asws descended and washed, and changed his clothes and covered himself with a scarf and said to me: ‘Do similar to what I-asws have done!’
ثُمَّ أَخَذَ نَحْوَ الذُّكْوَةِ وَ قَالَ لِي قَصِّرْ خُطَاكَ وَ أَلْقِ ذَقَنَكَ الْأَرْضَ فَإِنَّهُ يُكْتَبُ لَكَ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ وَ يُمْحَى عَنْكَ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ تُرْفَعُ لَكَ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ دَرَجَةٍ وَ تُقْضَى لَكَ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ حَاجَةٍ وَ يُكْتَبُ لَكَ ثَوَابُ كُلِّ صِدِّيقٍ وَ شَهِيدٍ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ
Then he-asws towards the hills and said to me: ‘Shorten the steps and lower your chin to the earth, for with every step you take, one hundred thousand good deeds will be written for you, one hundred thousand evil deeds will be erased from you, one hundred thousand ranks will be raised for you, one hundred thousand needs will be fulfilled for you, and you will be credited with the reward of every righteous person and martyr who has died or been killed!’
ثُمَّ مَشَى وَ مَشَيْتُ مَعَهُ وَ عَلَيْنَا السَّكِينَةُ وَ الْوَقَارُ نُسَبِّحُ وَ نُقَدِّسُ وَ نُهَلِّلُ إِلَى أَنْ بَلَغْنَا الذَّكَوَاتِ فَوَقَفَ ع وَ نَظَرَ يَمْنَةً وَ يَسْرَةً وَ خَطَّ بِعُكَّازَتِهِ
Then he-asws walked, and I walked with him-asws, and upon us was the calmness and the dignity. We glorified and extolled the Holiness, and exclaimed the Oneness until we reached the hills. He-asws paused and looked and right and left, and drew a line with his-asws stick.
فَقَالَ لِي اطْلُبْ
He-asws said to me: ‘Search!’
فَطَلَبْتُ فَإِذَا أَثَرُ الْقَبْرِ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ دُمُوعَهُ عَلَى خَدِّهِ وَ قَالَ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَ إِنَّا إِلَيْهِ راجِعُونَ
I searched and there were traces of the grave, then his-asws tears flowed upon his-asws cheeks, and he-asws said: ‘We are for Allah and we are returning to Him’ [2:156]’.
وَ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْوَصِيُّ الْبَرُّ التَّقِيُّ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبَأُ الْعَظِيمُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الصِّدِّيقُ الرَّشِيدُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْبَرُّ الزَّكِيُّ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَصِيَّ رَسُولِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا خِيَرَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ
And he-asws said: ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O successor-asws of the righteous, the pious! The greeting be upon you-asws of the Great News! The greeting be upon you-asws O truthful, the rightful director! The greeting be upon you-asws, O righteous, the pure! The greeting be upon you-asws, O successor-asws of Rasool-saww of Lord-azwj of the worlds! The greeting be upon you-asws O Choice of Allah-azwj upon the creatures, altogether!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ حَبِيبُ اللَّهِ وَ خَاصَّتُهُ وَ خَالِصَتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ وَ مَوْضِعَ سِرِّهِ وَ عَيْبَةَ عِلْمِهِ وَ خَازِنَ وَحْيِهِ
I testify that you-asws are a Beloved of Allah-azwj, and His-azwj special one, and His-azwj sincere! The greeting be upon you-asws O Guardian of Allah-azwj, and place of His-azwj secrets, and receptacle of His-azwj Knowledge, and treasurer of His-azwj Revelation!’
ثُمَّ انْكَبَّ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ وَ قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ- بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا حُجَّةَ الْخِصَامِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا بَابَ الْمَقَامِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا نُورَ اللَّهِ التَّامَّ
Then he-asws devoted upon his-asws grave and said: ‘May my-asws father-asws, and my-asws mother-as be (sacrificed for) you-asws, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! May my-asws father-asws, and my-asws mother-as be (sacrificed for) you-asws, O Divine Authority, the contender! May my-asws father-asws, and my-asws mother-as be (sacrificed for) you-asws, O door of Al-Maqam! May my-asws father-asws, and my-asws mother-as be (sacrificed for) you-asws, O Noor of Allah-azwj, the complete!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَا حُمِّلْتَ وَ رَعَيْتَ مَا اسْتُحْفِظْتَ وَ حَفِظْتَ مَا اسْتُودِعْتَ وَ حَلَّلْتَ حَلَالَ اللَّهِ وَ حَرَّمْتَ حَرَامَ اللَّهِ وَ أَقَمْتَ أَحْكَامَ اللَّهِ وَ لَمْ تَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ اللَّهِ وَ عَبَدْتَ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصاً حَتَّى أَتَاكَ الْيَقِينُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ-
I testify that you-asws have delivered on behalf of Allah-azwj and on behalf of Rasool-Allah-saww, whatever you-asws had been loaded with, and took care of what you-asws had made to preserve, and you-asws preserved what you were made to take care of, and you-asws permitted the Permissible of Allah-azwj and prohibited the Prohibitions of Allah-azwj, and you-asws established the rulings of Allah-azwj and did not exceed the limits of Allah-azwj, and you-asws worshipped Allah-azwj sincerely until the certainty (death) came to you! May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon you-asws and upon the Imams-asws from after you-asws!’
ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى عِنْدَ الرَّأْسِ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ قَالَ يَا صَفْوَانُ مَنْ زَارَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بِهَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةِ وَ صَلَّى بِهَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ رَجَعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ مَغْفُوراً ذَنْبُهُ مَشْكُوراً سَعْيُهُ وَ يُكْتَبُ لَهُ ثَوَابُ كُلِّ مَنْ زَارَهُ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ
Then he-asws stood and prayed two units Salat by the head, and said: ‘O Safwan! One who visits Amir Al-Momineen with this Ziyarat, and prays Salat with this Salat will return to his family, his sins been Forgiven, his striving Appreciated, and it will be Written for him Rewards of everyone from the Angles who visits him-asws’.
قُلْتُ ثَوَابُ كُلِّ مَنْ يَزُورُهُ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ
I said, ‘Rewards of every one from the Angels who visits him-asws!’
قَالَ يَزُورُهُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ سَبْعُونَ قَبِيلَةً
He-asws said: ‘Seventy thousand tribes (of Angels) visits him-asws during every night’.
قُلْتُ كَمِ الْقَبِيلَةُ
I said, ‘How many are in the tribe?’
قَالَ مِائَةُ أَلْفٍ
He-asws said: ‘A tribe is of a hundred thousand’.
ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ الْقَهْقَرَى وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَا جَدَّاهْ يَا سَيِّدَاهْ يَا طَيِّبَاهْ يَا طَاهِرَاهْ لَا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْكَ وَ رَزَقَنِي الْعَوْدَ إِلَيْكَ وَ الْمُقَامَ فِي حَرَمِكَ وَ الْكَوْنَ مَعَكَ وَ مَعَ الْأَبْرَارِ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُحْدِقِينَ بِكَ-
Then he-asws went out from his-asws presence walking backwards and he-asws was saying: ‘O forefather-asws! O Chief! O good! O pure! May Allah-azwj not Make it last of the pact from you-asws, and Grace me the returning to you-asws, and the standing in your-asws Shrine, and being with you-asws and with the righteous from your-asws sons-asws! May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon you-asws, and upon the Angels gazing at you-asws!’
قُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي تَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أُخْبِرَ أَصْحَابَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ بِهِ
I said, ‘O my chief! Permit for me to inform our companions from the people of Al-Kufa with it!’
فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ أَعْطَانِي دَرَاهِمَ وَ أَصْلَحْتُ الْقَبْرَ.
He-asws said: ‘Yes’, and he-asws gave me Dirhams and I repaired the grave’’.[143]
إيضاح قوله ع يا باب المقام أي إتيان مقام إبراهيم لحج البيت و اعتماره لا يقبل إلا بولايتك فمن لم يأته بولايتك فكأنما أتى البيت من غير بابه أو باب القيام عند رب العالمين للحساب كناية عن أن إياب الخلق إليه و حسابهم عليه فكما أنه لا يدخل البيت إلا بعد المرور على الباب كذلك لا يأتي أحد ليقوم للحساب إلا بعد أن يلقاه صلوات الله عليه بما هو أهله من البشارة أو الاكتياب.
Clarification of his-asws saying: ‘O door of Al-Maqam!’ – This means that coming to Al-Maqam of Ibrahim-as for Hajj and Umrah is not accepted except through your-asws Wilayah. Whoever comes without your-asws Wilayah the House (Kabah) through a way other than its door. Or, ‘The door of the standing before Lord-azwj of the Worlds for Judgment’, is an expression indicating that the return of creation is to Him-azwj, and their Reckoning is upon Him-azwj. Just as no one enters the House except through its door, likewise, no one stands for judgment except after encountering him-asws, May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, with what he is rightful of, whether with glad tidings or accountability.

(The book) ‘Farhat Al-Ghary’ – Abu Al Qasim Bin Saeed, from Shams Al Deen Fakhar Al Mowsawy, from Shazan Bin Jibraeel, from Muhammad Bin Al Qasim, from Al-Hassan, from his father Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from Al Mufeed, from Al Sadouq, from Majaylawiya, from his uncle, from Al Barqy, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Safwan,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws he (the narrator) said: ‘He-asws travelled and I was him-asws in Al-Qadisiyya until he-asws overlooked upon Al-Najaf. He-asws said: ‘It is the mountain which the son of my-asws ancestor Noah-as had sought protection with. He had said, ‘‘I will shelter to a mountain. It will protect me from the water’ [11:43].
فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ أَ يَعْتَصِمُ بِكَ مِنِّي أَحَدٌ فَغَارَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ تَقَطَّعَ إِلَى الشَّامِ
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed to it: “Can anyone get protection with you from Me-azwj!” It collapsed in the earth and crumbled into pieces up to Syria’.
فَقَالَ ع اعْدِلْ بِنَا
He-asws said: ‘Turn around with us-asws!’
فَعَدَلْتُ بِهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ سَائِراً حَتَّى أَتَى الْغَرِيَّ فَوَقَفَ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ فَسَاقَ السَّلَامَ مِنْ آدَمَ عَلَى نَبِيٍّ نَبِيٍّ ع وَ أَنَا أَسُوقُ السَّلَامَ مَعَهُ حَتَّى وَصَلَ السَّلَامَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص ثُمَّ خَرَّ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَا نَحِيبُهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ.
I turned around with him-asws. He-asws did not cease travelling until he-asws came to Al-Ghary. He-asws paused at the grave. He-asws ushered the greeting from Adam-as upon Prophet-as by Prophet-as, and I ushered the greeting with him-asws until the greeting arrived to the Prophet-saww. Then he-asws fell upon the grave. He-asws greeted upon him-asws and his-asws wailing rose aloud. Then he-asws stood and prayed four units Salat’’.[144]
17- وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ وَ قُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَا هَذَا الْقَبْرُ
And in another report: ‘Six units, and I prayed with him-asws and I said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! What is this grave?’
قَالَ هَذَا قَبْرُ جَدِّي عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع.
He-asws said: ‘This grave is of my-asws forefather Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’’.[145]
18- زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى رَوَاهَا الْمُفِيدُ وَ السَّيِّدُ وَ الشَّهِيدُ وَ غَيْرُهُمْ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ وَ اللَّفْظُ لِلْمُفِيدِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ الصَّادِقَ ع فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ تَزُورُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع-
Another Ziyarat reported by Al Mufeed, and the Seyyid, and Al-Shaheed and others, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with them, from Safwan, and the wordings are of Al Mufeed, he (Safwan) said, ‘I asked Al-Sadiq-asws. I said, ‘How should one visit Amir Al-Momineen-asws?’
فَقَالَ يَا صَفْوَانُ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ ذَلِكَ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ الْبَسْ ثَوْبَيْنِ طَاهِرَيْنِ وَ نَلْ شَيْئاً مِنَ الطِّيبِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَنَلْ أَجْزَأَكَ فَإِذَا خَرَجْتَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِكَ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ مِنْ مَنْزِلِي أَبْغِي فَضْلَكَ وَ أَزُورُ وَصِيَّ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمَا
He-asws said: ‘O Safwan! When you intend that, bathe and wear two clean clothes and take something from the perfume, and even you cannot take, it will suffice you. When you go out from your house, say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I am going out from my house seeking Your-azwj Grace and am visiting a successor-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, may Your-azwj Salawaat be upon them-asws both!
اللَّهُمَّ فَيَسِّرْ ذَلِكَ لِي وَ سَبِّبِ الْمَزَارَ لَهُ وَ اخْلُفْنِي فِي عَاقِبَتِي وَ حُزَانَتِي بِأَحْسَنِ الْخِلَافَةِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-
O Allah-azwj! Make that easy for me and Cause (Facilitate) the visitation to him-asws, and Replace me in my posterity and my grieving ones with the most excellent replacement, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
فَسِرْ وَ أَنْتَ تَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ وَ تُسَبِّحُهُ وَ تُهَلِّلُهُ فَإِذَا بَلَغْتَ الْخَنْدَقَ فَقِفْ عِنْدَهُ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَهْلَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَ الْمَجْدِ وَ الْعَظَمَةِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَهْلَ التَّكْبِيرِ وَ التَّقْدِيسِ وَ التَّسْبِيحِ وَ الْآلَاءِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ مِمَّا أَخَافُ وَ أَحْذَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ عِمَادِي وَ عَلَيْهِ أَتَوَكَّلُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ رَجَائِي وَ إِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ
Travel while you are praising Allah-azwj, and glorifying Him-azwj, and extolling His-azwj Oneness. When you reach the trench, pause at it and say, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest!

فَإِذَا تَرَاءَتْ لَكَ الْقُبَّةُ الشَّرِيفَةُ فَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى مَا اخْتَصَّنِي بِهِ مِنْ طِيبِ الْمَوْلِدِ وَ اسْتَخْلَصَنِي إِكْرَاماً بِهِ مِنْ مُوَالاةِ الْأَبْرَارِ السَّفَرَةِ الْأَطْهَارِ وَ الْخِيَرَةِ الْأَعْلَامِ
When the noble dome appears to you, say: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj upon what He-azwj Particularise me with from being of the good birth, and Choosing me for being honoured with him-asws, from the righteous masters and the pure ambassadors, and the best flags!
اللَّهُمَّ فَتَقَبَّلْ سَعْيِي إِلَيْكَ وَ تَضَرُّعِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي لَا تَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْغَفَّارُ-
O Allah! Accept my striving to You-azwj and my beseeching in front of You-azwj, and Forgive for the sins which are not hidden unto You-azwj, surely You-azwj are Allah-azwj, the King, the Forgiver!’
فَإِذَا نَزَلْتَ الثُّوَيَّةَ- وَ هِيَ الْآنَ تَلٌّ بِقُرْبِ الحَنَّانَةِ عَنْ يَسَارِ الطَّرِيقِ لِمَنْ يَقْصِدُ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ إِلَى الْمَشْهَدِ فَصَلِّ عِنْدَهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ لِمَا رُوِيَ أَنَّ جَمَاعَةً مِنْ خَوَاصِّ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ- صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ دُفِنُوا هُنَاكَ وَ قُلْ مَا تَقُولُ عِنْدَ رُؤْيَا الْقُبَّةِ الشَّرِيفَةِ
When you descend at Al-Suweya, and today it is a hill nearby Al Hanana, from left of the road for the one aiming from Al-Kufa to the Shrine. Pray two-unit Salat at it due to what is reported that a group of special ones of our master Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat be upon him-asws and his-asws Progeny-asws have been buried over there, and say what you said at sighting the noble dome.
فَإِذَا بَلَغْتَ الْعَلَمَ وَ هِيَ الحَنَّانَةُ فَصَلِّ هُنَاكَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَدْ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ جَازَ الصَّادِقُ ع بِالْقَائِمِ الْمَائِلِ فِي طَرِيقِ الْغَرِيِّ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةُ
When you reach the flag, and it is Al Hanana, pray two units over there for it has been reported by Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Al-Mufazzal Bin Umar. He said, ‘Al-Sadiq-asws passed by Al Qaim, the milestone in the road of Al-Ghary. He-asws prayed two units Salat. It was said to him-asws, ‘What is this Salat?’
فَقَالَ هَذَا مَوْضِعُ رَأْسِ جَدِّيَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع- وَضَعُوهُ هَاهُنَا لَمَّا تَوَجَّهُوا مِنْ كَرْبَلَاءَ ثُمَّ حَمَلُوهُ إِلَى عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ
He-asws said: ‘This is the place of the head of my-asws grandfather-asws Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws. It was placed over here when they headed from Karbala, then they carried it to Ubeydullah Bin Ziyad-la, may Allah-azwj Curse him-la.
فَقُلْ هُنَاكَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَرَى مَكَانِي وَ تَسْمَعُ كَلَامِي وَ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَمْرِي وَ كَيْفَ يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ مَا أَنْتَ مُكَوِّنُهُ وَ بَارِئُهُ
Say over there, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj can See my place and can Hear my speech, and there is nothing from my matters hidden from You-azwj, and how can it be hidden from You-azwj what You-azwj are its Creator and its Maker?
وَ قَدْ جِئْتُكَ مُسْتَشْفِعاً بِنَبِيِّكَ نَبِيِّ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ مُتَوَسِّلًا بِوَصِيِّ رَسُولِكَ- فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِهِمَا ثَبَاتَ الْقَدَمِ وَ الْهُدَى وَ الْمَغْفِرَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.
And I have come to You-azwj seeking intercession by Your-azwj Prophet-saww, the Prophet-saww of Mercy, and seeking mediation by the successor-asws of Your-azwj Rasool-saww! I ask You-azwj through them-asws both for affirmed feet and the guidance and the Forgiveness in the world and the Hereafter!’’[146]
أقول: إن زار الحسين ع في الحنانة بما سنرويه عن محمد بن المشهدي بعد إيراد ما ذكروه و صلى عندها أربع ركعات كما فعله الصادق ع كان حسنا.
I say: ‘If one visits Al-Husayn-asws at Al-Hanana, according to what we will narrate from Muhammad Ibn Al Mashhadi after mentioning what others have recorded, and prays there four units of Salat as Imam Al-Sadiq-asws had done, then it would be excellent’.
ثُمَّ قَالُوا فَإِذَا بَلَغْتَ إِلَى بَابِ الْحِصْنِ فَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدانا لِهذا وَ ما كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْ لا أَنْ هَدانَا اللَّهُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي صَيَّرَنِي فِي بِلَادِهِ وَ حَمَلَنِي عَلَى دَوَابِّهِ وَ طَوَى لِيَ الْبَعِيدَ وَ صَرَفَ عَنِّي الْمَحْذُورَ وَ دَفَعَ عَنِّي الْمَكْرُوهَ حَتَّى أَقْدَمَنِي أَخَا رَسُولِهِ ص-
Then they said, ‘When you reach to Al-Hafs door, say, ‘‘The Praise is for Allah Who Guided us to this, and we would not have been rightly Guided if Allah had not Guided us [7:43]! The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Made me come into His-azwj Land, and Carried me upon His-azwj animal, and Folded the far for me (to be near), and Turned the hazards away from me, and Repelled the abhorrence’s away from me until He-azwj Made me arrive to the brother-asws of His-azwj Rasool-saww!’
ثُمَّ ادْخُلْ وَ قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَدْخَلَنِي هَذِهِ الْبُقْعَةَ الْمُبَارَكَةَ الَّتِي بَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِيهَا وَ اخْتَارَهَا لِوَصِيِّ نَبِيِّهِ- اللَّهُمَّ فَاجْعَلْهَا شَاهِدَةً لِي-
Then enter and say, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Cause me to enter into this Blessed dome which Allah-azwj has Blessed in, and Chose it for the successor-asws of His-azwj Prophet-saww! O Allah-azwj! Make it a witness for me!’
فَإِذَا بَلَغْتَ إِلَى الْبَابِ الْأَوَّلِ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ لِبَابِكَ وَقَفْتُ وَ بِفِنَائِكَ نَزَلْتُ وَ بِحَبْلِكَ اعْتَصَمْتُ وَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ تَعَرَّضْتُ وَ بِوَلِيِّكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَسَّلْتُ فَاجْعَلْهَا زِيَارَةً مَقْبُولَةً وَ دُعَاءً مُسْتَجَاباً-
When you reach to the first door, say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I have paused at Your-azwj door, and had descended at Your-azwj courtyard, and have held on to Your-azwj rope, and have exposed to Your-azwj Mercy, and with Your-azwj Guardian, may Your-azwj Salawaat be upon him-asws I have sought means. So, Make it an Accepted Ziyarat and an Answered supplication!’
فَإِذَا بَلَغْتَ بَابَ الصَّحْنِ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هَذَا الْحَرَمَ حَرَمُكَ وَ الْمَقَامَ مَقَامُكَ وَ أَنَا أَدْخُلُ إِلَيْهِ أُنَاجِيكَ بِمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي وَ مِنْ سِرِّي وَ نَجْوَايَ
When you reach the courtyard door, say, ‘O Allah-azwj! This sanctuary is Your-azwj sanctuary, and the place is Your-azwj place, and I am entering into it to whisper to You-azwj with what you are more Knowing with than me, and my secrets, and my whisperings!

The Praise is for Allah-azwj the Affectional, the Bestower Who, from His-azwj Leniency Facilitated for me the Ziyarat of my master with His-azwj Favour and neither Made me deprived from his-asws Ziyarat nor repelled from his-asws Wilayah. But He-azwj was Lenient and Conferring!
اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا مَنَنْتَ عَلَيَّ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ فَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ شِيعَتِهِ وَ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ بِشَفَاعَتِهِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-
O Allah-azwj! Just as You-azwj have Conferred upon me with recognising him-asws, Make me from his-asws Shias and Admit me into the Paradise by his-asws intercession, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
ثُمَّ ادْخُلِ الصَّحْنَ وَ قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَنِي بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ وَ مَعْرِفَةِ رَسُولِهِ- وَ مَنْ فَرَضَ عَلَيَّ طَاعَتَهُ رَحْمَةً مِنْهُ لِي وَ تَطَوُّلًا مِنْهُ عَلَيَّ وَ مَنَّ عَلَيَّ بِالْإِيمَانِ
Then enter the courtyard and say, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Honoured me with recognising him-asws and recognising His-azwj Rasool-saww, and the one obedience to whim He-azwj obligated upon me as a Mercy from Him-azwj to me, and as Lenience from Him-azwj upon me, and Conferred upon me with the Eman!

ثُمَّ امْشِ حَتَّى تَقِفَ عَلَى الْبَابِ فِي الصَّحْنِ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَمِينِ اللَّهِ عَلَى وَحْيِهِ وَ عَزَائِمِ أَمْرِهِ الْخَاتِمِ لِمَا سَبَقَ وَ الْفَاتِحِ لِمَا اسْتَقْبَلَ وَ الْمُهَيْمِنِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
Then walk until you pause at the door in the courtyard, and say, ‘The greeting be upon Rasool-Allah-saww, the trustee of Allah-azwj upon His-azwj Revelation and His-azwj Mighty Commands, the least of what have preceded, and the beginning of what is in the future, and the dominant upon that, all of it, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!

السَّلَامُ عَلَى شَجَرَةِ التَّقْوَى وَ سَامِعِ السِّرِّ وَ النَّجْوَى السَّلَامُ عَلَى حُجَّةِ اللَّهِ الْبَالِغَةِ وَ نِعْمَتِهِ السَّابِغَةِ وَ نَقِمَتِهِ الدَّامِغَةِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ الْوَاضِحِ وَ النَّجْمِ اللَّائِحِ وَ الْإِمَامِ النَّاصِحِ وَ الزِّنَادِ الْقَادِحِ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ-
The greeting be upon the tree of piety, and the hearer of secrets and whispers! The greeting be upon the conclusive Divine Authority of Allah-azwj, and His-azwj abundant bounties, and His-azwj Decisive Retribution! The greeting be upon the clear path, and the shining star, the advising Imam-asws, and the kindling spark, and the Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!’
ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخِي نَبِيِّكَ- وَ وَلِيِّهِ وَ نَاصِرِهِ وَ وَصِيِّهِ وَ وَزِيرِهِ وَ مُسْتَوْدَعِ عِلْمِهِ وَ مَوْضِعِ سِرِّهِ وَ بَابِ حِكْمَتِهِ وَ النَّاطِقِ بِحُجَّتِهِ وَ الدَّاعِي إِلَى شَرِيعَتِهِ وَ خَلِيفَتِهِ فِي أُمَّتِهِ وَ مُفَرِّجِ الْكَرْبِ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ قَاصِمِ الْكَفَرَةِ وَ مُرْغِمِ الْفَجَرَةِ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ مِنْ نَبِيِّكَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى
Then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, brother-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and his-saww guardian, and his-saww helpers, and his-saww successor-asws, and his-saww minister, and depository of his-saww knowledge, and place of his-saww secrets, and the door of his-saww wisdom, and the speaker with his-saww argument, and the caller to his-saww Law, and his-saww caliph among his-saww community, and reliever of the distress from his-saww face, breaker of the Kafirs, and disgracer of the immoral whom You-azwj Made to be from Your-azwj Prophet-saww at the status of Haroun-as from Musa-as!
اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالاهُ وَ عَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ وَ انْصُرْ مَنْ نَصَرَهُ وَ اخْذُلْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُ وَ الْعَنْ مَنْ نَصَبَ لَهُ الْعَدَاوَةَ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ أَفْضَلَ مَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَوْصِيَاءِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ-
O Allah-azwj! Befriend the one who befriends him-asws, and be Inimical to the one being inimical to him-asws, and Help the one helping him-asws and Abandon the one abandoning him-asws, and Curse the one who installs the enmity to him-asws, from the former ones and the latter ones, and Send Salawaat upon him-asws the best of what You-azwj have Sent upon anyone of the successors-as of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, O Lord-azwj of the worlds!’
ثُمَّ عُدْ إِلَى عِنْدِ الرَّأْسِ لِزِيَارَةِ آدَمَ وَ نُوحٍ وَ قُلْ فِي زِيَارَةِ آدَمَ ع السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا صَفِيَّ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حَبِيبَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِينَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا خَلِيفَةَ اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ
Then return to the head for Ziyarat of Adam-as and Noah-as and say in the Ziyarat of Adam-as, ‘The greeting be upon you-as O Elite of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-as O Beloved of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-as O Prophet-as of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-as O trustee of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-as O Caliph of Allah-azwj in His-azwj earth!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الْبَشَرِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى رُوحِكَ وَ بَدَنِكَ وَ عَلَى الطَّاهِرِينَ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ صَلَاةً لَا يُحْصِيهَا إِلَّا هُوَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ-
The greeting be upon you-as O father-as of the humans! The greeting be upon you-as, and upon your-as soul and your-as body, and upon the pure ones from your-as children and your-as offspring, Salat which cannot be counted except by Him-azwj, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!’
وَ قُلْ فِي زِيَارَةِ نُوحٍ ع السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا صَفِيَّ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حَبِيبَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا شَيْخَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِينَ اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ وَ سَلَامُهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى رُوحِكَ وَ بَدَنِكَ وَ عَلَى الطَّاهِرِينَ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ-
And say in Ziyarat of Noah-as, ‘The greeting be upon you-as, O Prophet-as of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-as O Elite of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-as O Friend of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-as O Beloved of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-as O Elder of the Messengers-as! The greeting be upon you-as O trustee of Allah-azwj in His-azwj earth! May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj, and His-azwj Greeting be upon you-as, and upon your-as soul and your-as body, and upon the pure ones from your-as children, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!’
ثُمَّ صَلِّ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ رَكْعَتَانِ مِنْهَا لِزِيَارَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع تَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ سُورَةَ الرَّحْمَنِ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْحَمْدَ وَ سُورَةَ يس وَ تَشَهَّدْ وَ سَلِّمْ وَ سَبِّحْ تَسْبِيحَ الزَّهْرَاءِ ع- وَ اسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ ادْعُ لِنَفْسِكَ
Then pray six units of Salat, two of these for Ziyarat of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, reading in the first unit Surah Al Fatiha and Surah Al Rahman, and in the second Surah Al Hamd and Surah Yaseen, and perform Tashahhud and salaam, and glorify with the glorification of Al Zahra-asws, and seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and supplicate for yourself.
ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي صَلَّيْتُ هَاتَيْنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ هَدِيَّةً مِنِّي إِلَى سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ وَلِيِّكَ وَ أَخِي رَسُولِكَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ سَيِّدِ الْوَصِيِّينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ
Then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I have prayed these two units of Salat as a gift from me to my chief and my master, Your-azwj Guardian and brother of Your-azwj Rasool-saww, Emir of the Momineen, and chief of the successors-as Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws and his-asws Progeny-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَقَبَّلْهَا مِنِّي وَ اجْزِنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ جَزَاءَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Accept it from me and Reward me upon that the Recompense of the good doers!
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صَلَّيْتُ وَ لَكَ رَكَعْتُ وَ لَكَ سَجَدْتُ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لِأَنَّهُ لَا تَكُونُ الصَّلَاةُ وَ الرُّكُوعُ وَ السُّجُودُ إِلَّا لَكَ لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj I have prayed and to You-azwj Alone I have bowed and prostrated. There is no associate for You-azwj because there cannot be the salat, and the Ruk’u and the Sajdah except to You-azwj because You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You -azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي زِيَارَتِي وَ أَعْطِنِي سُؤْلِي بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ-
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Accept my Ziyarat from me, and Grant me my requests through Muhammad-saww and his-saww pure Progeny-asws!’
وَ تُهْدِي الْأَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ الْأُخَرِ إِلَى آدَمَ وَ نُوحٍ ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ سَجْدَةَ الشُّكْرِ وَ قُلْ فِيهِمَا اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ تَوَجَّهْتُ وَ بِكَ اعْتَصَمْتُ وَ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ
And gift the other four units of Salat to Adam-as and Noah-as. Then perform Sajdah, the Sajdah of thanks, and say in these, ‘O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj I have diverted, and with You-azwj I have adhered, and upon You-azwj I have relied!
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي وَ رَجَائِي فَاكْفِنِي مَا أَهَمَّنِي وَ مَا لَا يُهِمُّنِي وَ مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي عَزَّ جَارُكَ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ قَرِّبْ فَرَجَهُمْ-
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are my Trust, and my Hope, so Suffice me of what worries me and what does not worry me, and what You-azwj are more Knowing with than me! Mighty is Your-azwj Shelter and Majestic is Your-azwj laudation, and there is no god apart from You-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Draw their-asws relief closer!’
ثُمَّ ضَعْ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْمَنَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ قُلِ ارْحَمْ ذُلِّي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ تَضَرُّعِي إِلَيْكَ وَ وَحْشَتِي مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ أُنْسِي بِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ-
Then place your right cheek upon the ground and say, ‘Mercy my humbleness in front of You-azwj, and by beseeching to you-azwj, and my loneliness from the people, and Comfort me with You-azwj, O Benevolent, O Benevolent, O Benevolent!’
ثُمَّ ضَعْ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْسَرَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ رَبِّي حَقّاً حَقّاً سَجَدْتُ لَكَ يَا رَبِّ تَعَبُّداً وَ رِقّاً
Then place your left cheek upon the ground and say, ‘There is no god except You-azwj, my Lord-azwj, truly, truly! I have done Sajdah to You-azwj, O Lord-azwj, in worship and servitude!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ عَمَلِي ضَعِيفٌ فَضَاعِفْهُ لِي يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ-
O Allah-azwj! My deeds are weak so multiply these for me O Benevolent, O Benevolent, O Benevolent!’
ثُمَّ عُدْ إِلَى السُّجُودِ وَ قُلْ شُكْراً مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ اجْتَهِدْ فِي الدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ مَوْضِعُ مَسْأَلَةٍ وَ أَكْثِرْ مِنَ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ فَإِنَّهُ مَوْضِعُ مَغْفِرَةٍ وَ اسْأَلِ الْحَوَائِجَ فَإِنَّهُ مَقَامُ إِجَابَةٍ وَ كُلَّمَا صَلَّيْتَ صَلَاةً فَرْضاً كَانَتْ أَوْ نَفْلًا مُدَّةَ مُقَامِكَ بِمَشْهَدِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَادْعُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ
Then return to the Sajdah and say thanking one hundred times, and make efforts in the supplication, for it is a place of requesting, and frequent from seeking the Forgiveness for it is a place of Forgiveness, and ask the needs for it is a place of Answer, and every time you pray Salat, whether it was an obligatory or an option, extending your standing in the Shrine of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, supplicate with this supplication: –
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ أَمْرِكَ وَ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ قَدَرِكَ وَ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ قَضَائِكَ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ- إِلَى آخِرِ مَا مَرَّ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ-
‘O Allah-azwj! There is no escape from Your-azwj Command, nor any escape from Your-azwj Pre-Determination, nor any escape from Your-azwj Decree, nor is there any might nor strength except with You-azwj’ – up to the end what has passed from the supplication.
ثُمَّ قَالَ تَتِمَّةٌ فِي وَدَاعِ سَيِّدِنَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ- إِذَا أَرَدْتَ ذَلِكَ فَاسْتَأْنِفِ الزِّيَارَةَ وَ اصْنَعْ فِيهَا مَا صَنَعْتَ فِي أَوَّلِ وُصُولِكَ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ كَمَا تَقَدَّمَ بَيَانُهُ
Then he said in completion in bidding farewell to our chief Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, ‘When you intend that, resume the Ziyarat and do in it what you had done in the beginning of your arrival, from its beginning to its end, just as its explanation has preceded.
ثُمَّ وَدِّعْهُ فِي آخِرِهَا فَقُلْ آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ بِالرُّسُلِ وَ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ وَ دَلَلْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ دَعَوْتَنِي إِلَيْهِ رَبَّنا آمَنَّا بِما أَنْزَلْتَ وَ اتَّبَعْنَا الرَّسُولَ وَ آلَ الرَّسُولِ فَاكْتُبْنا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ
The bid him-asws farewell in its end saying, say, ‘I have believed in Allah-azwj and the Rasool-saww, and with whatever he-saww had come with, and pointed me upon, and called me to! Our Lord! We believe in what You have Revealed and we follow the Rasool, – and Progeny-asws of the Rasool-saww – so Write us down with the testifiers’ [3:53]!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ- وَ أَخِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي زِيَارَتَهُ أَبَداً مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي
O Allah-azwj! Do not Make it last of the pacts from Ziyarat of our master Emir of the Momineen, and brother-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, and Grace me his-asws Ziyarat for every, for as long You-azwj Cause me to live!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنِي ثَوَابَ زِيَارَتِهِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْعَوْدَ ثُمَّ الْعَوْدَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ سَلَامَ مُوَدِّعٍ لَا سَئِمٍ وَ لَا قَالٍ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
O Allah-azwj! Do not Deprive me the Rewards of his-asws Ziyarat, and Grace me the return! The greeting be upon you-asws, O my master, greeting of farewell not out of tiredness or resentment, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ بَلِّغْ أَرْوَاحَهُمْ وَ أَجْسَادَهُمْ مِنِّي أَفْضَلَ التَّحِيَّةِ وَ السَّلَامِ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَلَائِكَةِ اللَّهِ الْحَافِّينَ بِهَذَا الْمَشْهَدِ الشَّرِيفِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ سَيِّدَةِ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ-
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Convey from me to their-asws souls and their-asws bodies, the best salutations, and the greetings! And the greeting be upon the Angels of Allah-azwj surrounding this noble shrine! The greeting be upon Rasool-Allah-saww! The greeting be upon (Syeda) Fatima-asws chieftess of women of the worlds! The greeting be upon Amir Al-Momineen-asws!
السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ- وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ- وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ- وَ الْحُجَّةِ الْقَائِمِ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ الْمُنْتَقِمِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ
The greeting be upon Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, and Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws, and Ja’far-asws Bin Muhamad-asws, and Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, and Ali-asws Bin Musa-asws, and Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws, and Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws, and the Divine Authority, the standing with the Commands of Allah-azwj, the avenger from His-azwj enemies!
السَّلَامُ عَلَى سَمِيِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ- وَ مُظْهِرِ دِينِ اللَّهِ سَلَاماً وَاصِلًا دَائِماً سَرْمَداً لَا انْقِطَاعَ لَهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْقَذَنَا بِكُمْ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ وَ الضَّلَالَةِ
The greeting be upon the namesake of Rasool-Allah-saww, and manifester of the religion of Allah-azwj, continuous greeting, constant, perpetual having no termination for it! The greeting be upon you-asws and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Saved us through you-asws from the Polytheism and the straying!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ تَنَالُهُ مِنْكَ صَلَوَاتٌ وَ رَحْمَةٌ وَ احْفَظْنِي بِحِفْظِ الْإِيمَانِ وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي مَنْ عَادَيْتُهُ فِيكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ-
O Allah-azwj! Make me from the ones who attain from You-azwj Salawaat and Mercy, and Protect me with the Protection of Eman, and do not Let my enemies gloat with me, O Lord-azwj of the worlds!’
ثُمَّ قَبِّلِ الضَّرِيحَ الْمُقَدَّسَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَ ادْعُ اللَّهَ بِمَا تُرِيدُ وَ انْصَرِفْ مَغْبُوطاً مَرْحُوماً إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
Then kill the Holy Shrine, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj upon its owner, and supplicate to Allah-azwj with what you want, and leave delighted and Mercied, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires!’’[147] (Not a Hadeeth)
أقول يناسب أن يتلى عند ضريح آدم ع أو بعد الصلاة لزيارته الدعاء المروي عن سيد الساجدين صلوات الله عليه المشتمل على الصلاة عليه ص و هو مما ألحق ببعض نسخ الصحيفة أيضا و هو هذا
I say that it is appropriate to recite, at the shrine of Adam-as or after the prayer for his visitation, the supplication narrated from the Zayn Al-Abideen-asws, which includes sending Salawaat upon him-asws. This supplication has also been added to some copies of the ‘Sahifa’, and it is as follows.
اللَّهُمَّ وَ آدَمُ بَدِيعُ فِطْرَتِكَ وَ أَوَّلُ مُعْتَرِفٍ مِنَ الطِّينِ بِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ وَ بِكْرُ حُجَجِكَ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ وَ بَرِيَّتِكَ وَ الدَّلِيلُ عَلَى الِاسْتِجَارَةِ بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ عِقَابِكَ وَ النَّاهِجُ سُبُلَ تَوْبَتِكَ وَ الْوَسِيلَةُ بَيْنَ الْخَلْقِ وَ بَيْنَ مَعْرِفَتِكَ وَ الَّذِي لَقَّيْتَهُ مَا رَضِيتَ عَنْهُ بِمَنِّكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ لَهُ
O Allah-azwj, and Adam-as is beginning of Your-azwj Naturing and the first one to acknowledge from the clay, with Your-azwj Lord-azwj, and Your-azwj early Divine Authority upon Your-azwj servants and Your-azwj Created beings, and the pointer to seeking the shelter with Your-azwj Pardon from Your-azwj Punishment, and the paver of the ways of Your-azwj Acceptance of repentance, and the means between the creatures and recognising You-azwj, whom You-azwj had Indoctrinated what You-azwj Pleased with, with Your-azwj Conferment upon him and Your-azwj Mercy for him!
وَ الْمُنِيبُ الَّذِي لَمْ يُصِرَّ عَلَى مَعْصِيَتِكَ وَ سَابِقُ الْمُتَذَلِّلِينَ بِحَلْقِ رَأْسِهِ فِي حَرَمِكَ وَ الْمُتَوَسِّلُ بَعْدَ الْمَعْصِيَةِ بِالطَّاعَةِ إِلَى عَفْوِكَ وَ أَبُو الْأَنْبِيَاءِ الَّذِينَ أُوذُوا فِي جَنْبِكَ وَ أَكْثَرُ سُكَّانِ الْأَرْضِ سَعْياً فِي طَاعَتِكَ
And he-as was the penitent who did not persist upon disobeying You-azwj, and the preceded to the humbling by shaving his head in Your-azwj Sanctuary, and the seeker of means after the disobedience with the obedience to Your-azwj Pardon, and father-as of the Prophets-as, those who had endured harm for Your-azwj Sake, and frequently strove the dwellings of the earth in Your-azwj obedience!
فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْتَ يَا رَحْمَانُ وَ مَلَائِكَتُكَ وَ سُكَّان سَمَاوَاتِكَ وَ أَرْضِكَ كَمَا عَظَّمَ حَرَمَاتِكَ وَ دُلَّنَا عَلَى سَبِيلِ مَرْضَاتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
You-azwj Send Salawaat upon him-as, O Beneficent, and Your-azwj Angels, and dwellers of Your-azwj skies and Your-azwj earth, just as he-as had revered Your-azwj Sanctities and pointed us upon the way of Your-azwj Pleasure, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[148]
أقول ينبغي أن يزور الحسين عند قبر أمير المؤمنين صلوات الله عليهما
I say it is befitting to do Ziyarat of Al-Husayn-asws by the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws both.
19- وَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ الصَّادِقَ ع زَارَ رَأْسَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع- عِنْدَ رَأْسِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ صَلَّى عِنْدَهُ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ هِيَ هَذِهِ
And he mentioned that Al-Sadiq-asws visited the head of Al-Husayn-asws by the head of Amir Al-Momineen-asws and prayed four units Salat at it, and it is this: –

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ أَقَمْتَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ آتَيْتَ الزَّكَاةَ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ تَلَوْتَ الْكِتَابَ حَقَّ تِلَاوَتِهِ وَ جَاهَدْتَ فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ وَ صَبَرْتَ عَلَى الْأَذَى فِي جَنْبِهِ مُحْتَسِباً حَتَّى أَتَاكَ الْيَقِينُ
I testify you-asws had established the Salat and gave the Zakat, and you-asws instructed with the good and forbade from the evil, and you-asws recited the Book as is the right of reciting it, and fought in the way of Allah-azwj as is the right of fighting it, and you-asws were patient upon the harm for His-azwj Sake in anticipation until the certainty (death) came to you-asws!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ خَالَفُوكَ وَ حَارَبُوكَ وَ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ خَذَلُوكَ وَ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوكَ مَلْعُونُونَ عَلَى لِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ وَ قَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرَى لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الظَّالِمِينَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ ضَاعَفَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ

May Allah-azwj Curse the ones who oppressed you-asws, from the former ones and the latter ones, and Multiply the Punishment upon them!
أَتَيْتُكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ زَائِراً عَارِفاً بِحَقِّكَ مُوَالِياً لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ مُعَادِياً لِأَعْدَائِكَ مُسْتَبْصِراً بِالْهُدَى الَّذِي أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَارِفاً بِضَلَالَةِ مَنْ خَالَفَكَ فَاشْفَعْ لِي عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ.

You-asws fought the renegades in His-azwj Judgment, and the deviants from His-azwj Commands, and the breakers of His-azwj Covenant, patiently and anticipating! May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon you-asws and greetings better than what He-azwj has Sent upon anyone of His-azwj elites, and His-azwj Prophets-as, and His-azwj friends, He-azwj is Praised, Glorified!’
ثُمَّ قَبِّلِ الضَّرِيحَ مِنْ كُلِّ جَوَانِبِهِ وَ صَلِّ صَلَاةَ الزِّيَارَةِ وَ مَا بَدَا لَكَ وَ ادْعُ فَقُلْ يَا مَنْ عَفَا عَنِّي وَ عَنْ مَا خَلَوْتُ بِهِ مِنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ يَا مَنْ رَحِمَنِي بِأَنْ سَتَرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ وَ لَمْ يَفْضَحْنِي بِهِ يَا مَنْ سَوَّى خَلْقِي وَ لَهُ عَلَى مَا أَعْمَلُ شَاهِدٌ مِنِّي
Then kiss the Shrine from all its sides and pray Salat of the Ziyarat and whatever comes to you, and bid farewell, ‘O the One-azwj Who Pardons me and the sins I committed in private! O the One Who has Shown me Mercy by Concealing them and not Exposing me! O the One-azwj Who has Perfected my creation, and He-azwj has a witness from me upon what I do!
يَا مَنْ يُنْطِقُ لِسَانِي وَ تَنْطِقُ لَهُ أَرْكَانِي يَا مَنْ قَلَّ حَيَائِي مِنْهُ حَتَّى قَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَمْقُتَنِي يَا مَنْ لَوْ عَلِمَ النَّاسُ مِنِّي بَعْضَ عِلْمِهِ بِي لَعَاجَلُونِي يَا مَنْ سَتَرَ عَوْرَتِي وَ لَمْ يُبْدِ لِخَلْقِهِ سَوْأَتِي يَا مَنْ أَمْهَلَنِي عِنْدَ خَلْوَتِي فِي مَعَاصِيهِ بِلَذَّتِي
O the One-azwj Caused my tongue to speak, and my limbs speak to Him-azwj! O the One-azwj my shame from Him-azwj is little until I feared He-azwj would Detest me! O the One-azwj, had the people known from me part of what He-azwj Knows about me, they would have hastened me (for punishment)! O the One-azwj Who Covered my defects and did not Reveal my evil deeds to His-azwj creatures! O the One-azwj Who Respited me during my seclusion in disobedience to Him-azwj with my pleasures!
أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يُنَادِي يا حَسْرَتى عَلى ما فَرَّطْتُ فِي جَنْبِ اللَّهِ
I seek Refuge with Your-azwj Honourable Face from being from the ones who call out, ‘O regret, upon what I wasted regarding the Side of Allah [39:56]!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يُنَادِي رَبَّنا غَلَبَتْ عَلَيْنا شِقْوَتُنا وَ كُنَّا قَوْماً ضالِّينَ رَبَّنا أَخْرِجْنا مِنْها فَإِنْ عُدْنا فَإِنَّا ظالِمُونَ
And I seek Refuge with Your-azwj Honourable Face from being from the ones calling out, ‘O our Lord! Our wretchedness overcame upon us and we were a straying people’ [23:106] Our Lord! Extract us from it, then if we were to repeat, so we would be unjust [23:107]!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يُنَادِي فَما لَنا مِنْ شافِعِينَ وَ لا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ فَلَوْ أَنَّ لَنا كَرَّةً فَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And I seek Refuge by Your-azwj Honourable Face from being from the ones who call out, So, there is none for us from the intercessors [26:100] Nor an intimate friend [26:101] If only there was one more chance for us, we would be from the Momineen [26:102]!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْ أَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يُنَادِي يا مالِكُ لِيَقْضِ عَلَيْنا رَبُّكَ
And I seek Refuge by Your-azwj Honourable Face, O my Master, from being from the ones who call out, ‘O Malik! Let your Lord Decide about us’. [43:77]!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْ أَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يَأْتِيهِ الْمَوْتُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكانٍ وَ ما هُوَ بِمَيِّتٍ
And I seek Refuge by Your-azwj Honourable Face, O my Master, from being from the ones the death would come to him from every place but he would not be dying, [14:17]!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْ أَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يُغَلُ فِي سِلْسِلَةٍ ذَرْعُها سَبْعُونَ ذِراعاً
And I seek Refuge with Your-azwj Honourable Face, O my Master, from being from the ones Then enchain him in a chain of seventy cubits [69:32]!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْ يَكُونَ طَعَامِي مِنَ الضَّرِيعِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْ يَكُونَ غُدُوِّي وَ رَوَاحِي إِلَى النَّارِ
And I seek Refuge with Your-azwj Honourable Face, O my Master, from my food being from the thorny bushes, and I seek refuge with Your-azwj Honourable Face, O my Master, from my mornings and my evening be to the Hellfire!
اللَّهُمَّ تَجَاوَزْ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِي وَ أَبْدِلْ ذَلِكَ بِالْحَسَنَاتِ وَ لَا تُخَفِّفْ بِذَلِكَ مِيزَانِي وَ لَا تُسَوِّدْ بِهِ وَجْهِي وَ لَا تَفْضَحْ بِهِ مَقَامِي وَ لَا تُنَكِّسْ بِهِ رَأْسِي
O Allah-azwj! Overlook from my evil deeds and Replace that with the good deeds, and do not Lighten my scale with that nor Darken my face with it, nor Expose my position with it, nor Lower my head with it!
يَا رَبِّ وَ لَا تَمْقُتْنِي عَلَى طُولِ مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي وَ تَجَاوَزْ عَنِّي فِيمَنْ تَجَاوَزْتَ عَنْهُ فِي أَصْحابِ الْجَنَّةِ وَعْدَ الصِّدْقِ الَّذِي كانُوا يُوعَدُونَ
O Lord-azwj, and do not Detest me upon the length of as long as You-azwj Cause me to remain, and Overlook from me among the ones You-azwj Overlook from, dwellers of the Paradise, being the Truthful Promise which they were Promised [46:16]!
اللَّهُمَّ عَرِّفْنِي اسْتِجَابَةَ مَا سَأَلْتُكَ وَ أَمَّلْتُهُ فِيكَ وَ طَلَبْتُهُ مِنْكَ بِحَقِّ مَوْلَايَ وَ بِقَبْرِهِ وَ بِمَا سَعَيْتُ فِيهِ مِنْ زِيَارَتِهِ عَلَى مَعْرِفَةٍ مِنِّي بِحَقِّهِ وَ مَنْزِلَتِهِ مِنْكَ وَ مَحَبَّتِهِ وَ مَوَدَّتِهِ عَلَى مَا أَوْجَبْتَهُ عَلَيَّ فِي كِتَابِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Make me recognise the fulfilment of what I have asked of You-azwj, and hoped for in You-azwj, and requested from You-azwj, by the right of my master, his-asws grave, and my efforts in visiting him-asws, with my full awareness of his-asws right, and his-asws status before You-azwj, his-asws love, and the affection that You-azwj have Made obligatory upon me in Your-azwj Book.
وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِي خَائِباً وَ لَا خَائِفاً وَ اقْلِبْنِي مُفْلِحاً مُنْجِحاً بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ وُلْدِهَا وَ بِالشَّأْنِ وَ الْجَاهِ وَ الْقَدْرِ الَّذِي لَهُمْ عِنْدَكَ فَإِنَّ لَهُمْ عِنْدَكَ شَأْناً مِنَ الشَّأْنِ وَ قَدْراً مِنَ الْقَدْرِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-
Do not Turn me away disappointed or fearful, but return me successful and prosperous by the right of Muhammad-asws, and Ali-asws, and the Imams-asws from his-asws descendants, and by the honour, status, and rank they hold before You-asws! For indeed, they have great honour and status in Your-azwj Presence. By Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
ثُمَّ ادْعُ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ إِخْوَانِكَ فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ وَدَاعَهُ فَقِفْ عَلَيْهِ وَ قُلْ يَا سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ وَ مُعْتَمَدِي فِي دِينِي وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ هَذَا أَوَانُ انْصِرَافِي عَنْ حَرَمِكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ جَفَاءٍ وَ لَا قِلًى مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا قَضَيْتُ أَوْطَارِي وَ تَمَتَّعْتُ بِزِيَارَتِكَ وَ لُذْتُ بِحَرَمِكَ وَ ضَرِيحِكَ
Then supplicate with whatever you like for yourself and for your brothers. When you want to bid him-asws farewell, stand to him-asws and say, ‘O my chief and my master, and my reliance in my religion and my world and my Hereafter! O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! This is the time of leaving from your-asws sanctuary from without forsaking nor rudeness or disregard, after having fulfilled my desires, enjoyed visiting you-asws, and sought refuge in your-asws sacred sanctuary and Shrine!
وَ سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لِي وَ لِوَالِدَيَّ وَ إِخْوَانِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ قَدْ عَوَّلْتُ عَلَى الِانْصِرَافِ وَ أَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لِأَجْلِ مَسْأَلَتِي بِكَ أَنْ يَرُدَّنِي إِلَى أَهْلِي سَالِماً غَانِماً وَ جَمِيعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
And I asked Allah-azwj the Exalted to Forgive (sins) for me and for my parents and my Momineen brothers, and I am turning around for the leaving, and I ask you-asws to ask Allah‑azwj the Exalted for hastening my request through you to return me to my family safely, gainful, and entirety of the believing men and the believing women!
وَ قَدْ قَبِلَ اللَّهُ سَعْيَنَا وَ زِيَارَتَنَا وَ مَحَّصَ اللَّهُ جَمِيعَ ذُنُوبِنَا وَ جَرَائِمِنَا وَ خَطَايَانَا وَ أَنْ نَعُودَ إِلَى أَهْلِنَا بِسَعْيٍ مَشْكُورٍ وَ ذَنْبٍ مَغْفُورٍ وَ عَمَلٍ مَبْرُورٍ
And may Allah-azwj Accept our striving and our Ziyarat, and may Allah-azwj Purify our sins, and our crimes, and our misdeeds, and for us to return to our families with an Appreciated striving, and Forgiven sins, and accomplished work!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ مَوْلَانَا وَ إِمَامِنَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لَا مِنْ زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِهِ فِي كُلِّ مِيقَاتٍ وَ تَقَبَّلْ ذَلِكَ مِنَّا بِأَحْسَنِ قَبُولٍ أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ اللَّهَ وَ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ مَا أَنْقَلِبُ إِلَيْهِ فِي جَمِيعِ أَحْوَالِي.
O Allah-azwj! Do not Make it last of the pact of Ziyarat of our master and our Imam-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws, nor of Ziyarat of his-asws grave from every juncture, and Accept that from us with the most excellent Acceptance! I entrust you-asws to Allah-azwj, and myself, and my family, and my children, and what I am turning to regarding the entirety of my situations!’[150]
أقول: قال الكليني في الكافي بعد إيراد هذه الزيارة المختصرة التي رويناها سابقا عن أبي الحسن الثالث ع بسنديه ما هذا لفظه دعاء آخر عند قبر أمير المؤمنين ع تقول السلام عليك يا ولي الله السلام عليك يا حجة الله
I say: ‘Al-Kulayni mentioned in Al Kafi, after narrating the brief visitation (Ziyarat) that we previously reported from Abu Al Hasan-asws the 3rd with his two chains of narration, the following – ‘Another supplication at the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws where you say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, O friend of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O Divine Authority of Allah-azwj!’
ثم ساق الزيارة مثل ما أدرجه السيد في تلك الزيارة إلى قوله اللهم رب الأرباب صريخ الأحباب إني عذت بأخي رسولك معاذا ففك رقبتي من النار آمنت بالله و ما أنزل إليكم و أتولى آخركم بما توليت به أولكم و كفرت بالجبت و الطاغوت و اللات و العزى و ختم بذلك و نحوه روى الشيخ في التهذيب.
Then he continued Ziyarat as recorded by Sayyid in that Ziyarat up to his words, ‘O Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the lords, Listener of the loved ones! I seek refuge in the brother-asws of Your-azwj Rasool-saww, so Liberate my neck from the Hellfire! I have believed in Allah-azwj and in what was Revealed to you-saww, and I pledge allegiance to the last of you-asws as I pledged allegiance to the first of you-asws! I disbelieve in the false gods and the tyrants, and Al Laat and Al Uzza (two idols)!’ – and he ended with that and approximate to the report by the Sheykh in (the book) ‘Al Tahzeeb’.
21- ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ ره زِيَارَةٌ ثَالِثَةٌ يُزَارُ بِهَا ع تَغْتَسِلُ وَ تَلْبَسُ أَنْظَفَ ثِيَابِكَ وَ تَمَسُّ شَيْئاً مِنَ الطِّيبِ إِنْ أَمْكَنَكَ فَإِذَا وَصَلْتَ إِلَى بَابِ النَّاحِيَةِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ فَقُلِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً
Then the Seyyid said, ‘There is a third Ziyarat one can visit him-asws with – ‘You should bathe and weal cleaners of your clothes and touch something from the perfume if possible. When you arrive at the door of the Holy corner, say, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest’, thirty times, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj’, thirty times, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj’, thirty times, ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww’, thirty times.
ثُمَّ تَدْخُلُ مُقَدِّماً رِجْلَكَ الْيُمْنَى وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَخِيهِ وَ وَصِيِّهِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ- السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَلَائِكَةِ اللَّهِ وَ عِبَادِهِ الصَّالِحِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَلَائِكَةِ هَذَا الْحَرَمِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ بِهِ مُقِيمُونَ وَ بِمَشْهَدِهِ مُحْدِقُونَ وَ لِزُوَّارِهِ مُسْتَغْفِرُونَ
Then enter the front of your right leg and say, ‘The greeting be upon Rasool-Allah-saww, seal of the Prophets-as! The greeting be upon his-saww brother-asws and his-saww successor-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws! The greeting be upon the Angels of Allah-azwj His-azwj righteous servants! The greeting be upon the Angels of this sanctuary which they are resident in, and are gazing at his-asws Shrine, and they are seeking Forgiveness for his-asws visitors!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَنَا بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ وَ مَعْرِفَةِ رَسُولِهِ- وَ مَنْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْنَا طَاعَتَهُ رَحْمَةً مِنْهُ وَ تَطَوُّلًا
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Honoured us with recognising Him-azwj and recognising His-azwj Rasool-saww, and the one obedience to whom He-azwj Obligated as a Mercy from Him-azwj and Leniency!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي سَيَّرَنِي فِي بِلَادِهِ وَ حَمَلَنِي عَلَى دَوَابِّهِ وَ طَوَى لِيَ الْبَعِيدَ وَ دَفَعَ عَنِّي الْمَكَارِهَ حَتَّى بَلَغَنِي حَرَمَ أَخِي نَبِيِّهِ وَ وَصِيِّ رَسُولِهِ وَ أَدْخَلَنِي الْبُقْعَةَ الَّتِي قَدَّسَهَا وَ بَارَكَ عَلَيْهَا وَ اخْتَارَهَا لِوَصِيِّ نَبِيِّهِ
The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Made me travel in His-azwj Land and Carried me upon His-azwj animal, and Folded the remote for me, and Repelled the abhorrence from me until He-azwj Made me reach the sanctuary of the brother-asws of His-azwj Prophet-saww, and successor-asws of His-azwj Rasool-saww, and Entered me to the spot which He-azwj had Sanctified and Blessed upon it, and Chose it for the successor-asws of His-azwj Prophet-saww!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدانا لِهذا وَ ما كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْ لا أَنْ هَدانَا اللَّهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَبْدُهُ وَ أَخُو رَسُولِهِ
‘The Praise is for Allah Who Guided us to this, and we would not have been rightly Guided if Allah had not Guided us. [7:43], and I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and that Ali-asws is His-azwj servant and brother-asws of His-azwj Rasool-saww!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ وَ زَائِرُكَ الْوَافِدُ إِلَيْكَ الْمُتَقَرِّبُ بِزِيَارَةِ أَخِي نَبِيِّكَ وَ مُسْتَحْفِظِ رَسُولِكَ ص يَا رَبِّ وَ عَلَى كُلِّ مَأْتِيٍّ حَقٌّ لِمَنْ زَارَهُ وَ وَفَدَ إِلَيْهِ وَ أَنْتَ يَا رَبِّ خَيْرُ مَأْتِيٍّ وَ أَكْرَمُ مَزُورٍ
O Allah-azwj! I am Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj visitor, the delegate to You-azwj, the one drawing closer with Ziyarat of the brother-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww and protector of Your-azwj Rasool-saww! O Lord-azwj, and upon every one visited there is a right for the one visiting him and delegates to, and You-azwj, O Lord-azwj, are the best one come to, and the most honourable one visited!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِمَعَاقِدِ الْعِزِّ مِنْ عَرْشِكَ وَ مُنْتَهَى الرَّحْمَةِ مِنْ كِتَابِكَ وَ بِمُوجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ عَزَائِمِ مَغْفِرَتِكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ حَظِّي مِنْ زِيَارَتِي فِي مَوْضِعِي هَذَا فَكَاكَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي مِمَّنْ يُسَارِعُ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَ يَدْعُوكَ رَغَباً وَ رَهَباً وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْخَاشِعِينَ
I ask You-azwj O Allah-azwj, by the seat of honour from Your-azwj Throne, and the ultimate Mercy from Your-azwj Book, and by Your-azwj obligated Mercy, and Your-azwj Mighty Forgiveness to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to make my share of my Ziyarat and this place of my to be the liberation of my neck from the Hellfire, and to Make me from the ones swift in the good deeds, and supplicating to You-azwj desirously and dreading, and Make me from the fearful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ بَشَّرْتَنِي عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكَ فَقُلْتَ وَ بَشِّرِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنَّ لَهُمْ قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj Gave me glad tidings upon the tongue of Your-azwj Prophet-saww. You-azwj Said: and give glad tidings to those who believe that, for them would be a ‘true footing’ in the Presence of their Lord. [10:2]!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَ وَ بِجَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ كَلِمَاتِكَ وَ أَسْمَائِكَ فَلَا تَقِفْنِي بَعْدَ مَعْرِفَتِي بِهِمْ مَوْقِفاً تَفْضَحُنِي بِهِ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْخَلَائِقِ وَ قِفْنِي مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
O Allah-azwj! I am a believer in You-azwj and in entirety of Your-azwj Prophets-as, and Your-azwj Messengers-as, and Your-azwj Words, and Your-azwj Names, so after having recognised them, do not Place me in a position that would disgrace me upon the heads of the people, and Stand me with Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household!
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ تَوَفَّنِي عَلَى التَّصْدِيقِ بِهِمْ وَ التَّسْلِيمِ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عَبِيدُكَ وَ أَنْتَ خَصَصْتَهُمْ بِكَرَامَتِكَ وَ أَمَرْتَنِي بِاتِّبَاعِهِمْ وَ فَرَضْتَ عَلَيَّ طَاعَتَهُمْ-
May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon them and Cause me to die upon the ratification with them-asws and the submission to them-asws, for they-asws are Your-azwj servants, and You-azwj have Specialised them-asws with Your-azwj Honours and Commanded me with following them-asws, and Obligated upon me to obey them-asws!’
ثُمَّ تَدْنُو مِنَ الْقَبْرِ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ الرَّسُولِ الْمُصْطَفَى الْمُرْتَضَى أَمِينِ اللَّهِ عَلَى رُسُلِهِ وَ خَاتَمِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ وَ عَزَائِمِ أَمْرِهِ وَ مَعْدِنِ الْوَحْيِ وَ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ التَّنْزِيلِ وَ مَهْبِطِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفِ الرُّوحِ الْأَمِينِ وَ حُجَّةِ اللَّهِ الْبَالِغَةِ وَ الْخَاتِمِ لِمَا سَبَقَ وَ الْفَاتِحِ لِمَا اسْتَقْبَلَ وَ الْمُهَيْمِنِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ وَ الشَّاهِدِ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ وَ السِّرَاجِ الْمُنِيرِ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
Then go near to the grave and say, ‘The Greeting from Allah-azwj be upon Muhammad-saww the Prophet-saww and the Rasool-saww, the Chosen, the Selected trustee of Allah-azwj upon His-azwj Rasool-saww, and seal of His-azwj Prophets-as, and His-azwj Mighty Commands, and the Mine of Revelation and the Messages and the Scriptures, and the descending place of the Angels, and the interchange of the Trustworthy Spirit and the Divine Authorities of Allah-azwj the deliverers, and the end of what had preceded and the beginner of what is in the future, and the dominant upon that, all of it, and the witness upon the creatures, and the radiant lamp, and the greeting be upon him-asws and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الْأَبْرَارِ الَّذِينَ اخْتَرْتَهُمْ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ جَعَلْتَهُمْ أَعْلَامَ دِينِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household, the righteous, those whom You-azwj Chose them-asws from Your-azwj creatures, and Made them-asws flags of Your-azwj religion!

ثُمَّ امْضِ إِلَى الرَّأْسِ وَ قِفْ عَلَيْهِ وَ قُلْ سَلَامُ اللَّهِ وَ سَلَامُ مَلَائِكَتِهِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ الْمُسَلِّمِينَ لَكَ بِقُلُوبِهِمْ وَ النَّاطِقِينَ بِفَضْلِكَ وَ الشَّاهِدِينَ عَلَى أَنَّكَ الصَّادِقُ الْمُصَدَّقُ وَ الْهَادِي الْمُنْتَجَبُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ عَلَى رُوحِكَ وَ بَدَنِكَ
Then continue to the head and stand by it, and say, ‘Greeting of Allah-azwj, and greeting of His-azwj Angels of Proximity, and the ones submitting to you-asws with their hearts, and the speakers with your-asws merits, and the testifier upon that you-asws are the truthful, and ratified, the guide, the Selected, (greeting) be upon you-asws, O my master, and upon your-asws soul and your body!

ثُمَّ انْكَبَّ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ لِرَحْمَتِكَ تَعَرَّضْتُ بِإِزَاءِ قَبْرِ أَخِي نَبِيِّكَ وَقَفْتُ عَائِذاً بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَعِذْنِي مِنْ نَقِمَتِكَ وَ سَخَطِكَ وَ زَلَازِلِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ يَوْمَ يَكْبُرُ فِيهِ الْحِسَابُ يَوْمَ تَبْيَضُّ فِيهِ وُجُوهٌ وَ تَسْوَدُّ فِيهِ وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَ الْآزِفَةِ إِذِ الْقُلُوبُ لَدَى الْحَناجِرِ كاظِمِينَ-
Then devote upon the grave and say, ‘O Allah-azwj!

So, Protect me from Your-azwj Punishment, Your-azwj Wrath, and the terrors of the Day of Qiyamah, the Day when Reckoning will be severe, the Day when faces will be brightened and faces will be darkened!’
ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ وَ اسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَ قُلْ يَا أَكْرَمَ مَنْ أُقِرَّ لَهُ بِالذُّنُوبِ مَا أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ بِعَبْدِكَ الْمُقِرُّ لَكَ بِذُنُوبِهِ مُتَقَرِّباً إِلَيْكَ بِالرَّسُولِ وَ عِتْرَتِهِ لَائِذاً بِقَبْرِ وَصِيِّ الرَّسُولِ

What will You-azwj do with Your-azwj servant who acknowledges his sins before You-azwj, seeking closeness to You-azwj through Rasool-Allah-saww and his-saww family-asws, taking refuge at the grave of successor-asws of the Rasool-saww?
يَا مَنْ يَمْلِكُ حَوَائِجَ السَّائِلِينَ كَمَا وَفَّقْتَنِي لِوِفَادَتِي وَ زِيَارَتِي وَ مَسْأَلَتِي فَأَعْطِنِي سُؤْلِي فِي آخِرَتِي وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِكُلِّ مَقَامٍ مَحْمُودٍ تُحِبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى فِيهِ بِأَسْمَائِكَ وَ يُسْأَلَ فِيهِ مِنْ عَطَائِكَ-

وَ تُصَلِّي سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ إِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ زِيَادَةً فَافْعَلْ وَ تَدْعُو بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ الْوَدَاعَ فَقُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ اللَّهَ وَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِالرَّسُولِ وَ بِمَا جَاءَ بِهِ وَ دَعَا إِلَيْهِ وَ دَلَّ عَلَيْهِ
And you should pray six units Salat, and if you like more, do so, and supplicate with whatever you like. When you want to bid farewell, say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!

O Allah-azwj! Do not Make it last of the pact of my visitation to him-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَتِي إِلَيْهِ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا ثَوَابَ مَزَارِهِ وَ ارْزُقْنَا الْعَوْدَ فَإِنْ تَوَفَّيْتَنِي قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ فِي مَمَاتِي بِمَا شَهِدْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِي حَيَاتِي

ثُمَّ تَنْكَبُّ عَلَى الضَّرِيحِ وَ تُقَبِّلُهُ وَ تَقُولُ يَا أَمِينَ اللَّهِ يَا حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ يَا صِرَاطَ اللَّهِ زَارَكَ عَبْدُكَ وَ وَلِيُّكَ اللَّائِذُ بِقَبْرِكَ وَ الْمُنِيخُ رَحْلَهُ بِفِنَائِكَ الْمُتَقَرِّبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الْمُسْتَشْفِعُ بِكَ إِلَى اللَّهِ زِيَارَةَ مَنْ هَجَرَ فِيكَ صَحْبَهُ وَ جَعَلَكَ بَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَسَبَهُ
Then devote to the Shrine and kiss it and say, ‘O trustee of Allah-azwj! O Divine Authority of Allah-azwj! O Guardian of Allah-azwj! O path of Allah-azwj! Your-asws servant is visiting you-asws, and your-asws friend is seeking refuge with your-asws grave and kneeling his legs in your-asws courtyard, drawing closer to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and seeking intercession through you-asws to Allah-azwj, a visitation by one who has forsaken his companions for your-asws sake and after Allah-azwj, has made you-asws his affiliation!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ الطُّورُ وَ الْكِتَابُ الْمَسْطُورُ وَ الرَّقُّ الْمَنْشُورُ وَ بَحْرُ الْعِلْمِ الْمَسْجُورُ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَزُورٍ عِنَايَةً فِيمَنْ زَارَهُ وَ قَصَدَهُ وَ أَتَاهُ وَ أَنَا وَلِيُّكَ وَ قَدْ حَطَطْتُ رَحْلِي بِفِنَائِكَ وَ لَجَأْتُ إِلَى حَرَمِكَ وَ لُذْتُ بِضَرِيحِكَ لِعِلْمِي بِعَظِيمِ مَنْزِلَتِكَ وَ شَرَفِ حَضْرَتِكَ
I testify that you-asws are the (mount) Toor (of Sinai) [52:1] And the written Book [52:2] In a published Parchment [52:3], and the swelled ocean of knowledge! O Guardian of Allah-azwj! For every visited one there is a care for the one who visits him and aims for him and comes to him, and I am your-asws friend, and my legs have stepped in your-asws courtyard, and I am sheltering to your-asws sanctuary, and have sought refuge with your-asws Shrine due to my knowledge of your mighty status and your-azwj noble presence!
وَ قَدْ أَثْقَلَتِ الذُّنُوبُ ظَهْرِي وَ مَنَعَتْنِي رُقَادِي فَمَا أَجِدُ حِرْزاً وَ لَا مَعْقِلًا وَ لَا مَلْجَأً أَلْجَأُ إِلَيْهِ إِلَّا اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَ تَوَسُّلِي بِكَ إِلَيْهِ وَ اسْتِشْفَاعِي لَدَيْكَ فَهَا أَنَا ذَا نَازِلٌ بِفِنَائِكَ وَ لَكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ جَاهٌ عَظِيمٌ وَ مَقَامٌ كَرِيمٌ فَاشْفَعْ لِي عِنْدَ اللَّهِ رَبِّكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ-
And the sins are heavy on my back, and are preventing me from sleeping. I cannot find any protection, nor any fort or shelter I can shelter to except Allah-azwj the Exalted and my seeking means through you-asws to Him-azwj, and my seeking intercession before you-asws! So here I am having descended in your-asws courtyard, and there is mighty honour for you-asws in the Presence of Allah-azwj and a prestigious position, so intercede for me in the Presence of Allah-azwj, your-asws Lord-azwj, O my master!’
ثُمَّ قَبِّلِ الضَّرِيحَ وَ وَجِّهْ وَجْهَكَ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ يَا أَسْمَعَ السَّامِعِينَ وَ يَا أَبْصَرَ النَّاظِرِينَ وَ يَا أَسْرَعَ الْحَاسِبِينَ وَ يَا أَجْوَدَ الْأَجْوَدَيْنِ
Then kiss the Shrine and divert your face towards the Qiblah and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I draw closer to You-azwj, O the most Listening of the listening ones, and O the most Insightful of the beholders, and O Swiftest of the reckoners, and O the most Generous of the generous ones!
بِمُحَمَّدٍ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ رَسُولِكَ إِلَى الْعَالَمِينَ وَ بِأَخِيهِ وَ ابْنِ عَمِّهِ الْأَنْزَعِ الْبَطِينِ الْعَالِمِ الْمُبِينِ عَلِيٍّ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ الْإِمَامَيْنِ الشَّهِيدَيْنِ وَ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ زَيْنِ الْعَابِدِينَ- وَ بِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ بَاقِرِ عِلْمِ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ بِجَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ زَكِيِّ الصِّدِّيقِينَ
By Muhammad-saww seal of the Prophets-as, Your-azwj Rasool-saww to the worlds, and by his-saww brother-asws and son-asws of his-saww uncle, the one of chest filled with the clear knowledge, Ali Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws two Imams-asws, the martyred, and by Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws adornment of the worshippers, and by Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws expounder of knowledge of the former ones, and by Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws purest of the truthful ones!
وَ بِمُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْكَاظِمِ الْمُبِينِ حَبِيسِ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضَا الْأَمِينِ وَ بِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْجَوَادِ عَلَمِ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَرِّ الصَّادِقِ سَيِّدِ الْعَابِدِينَ وَ بِالْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْعَسْكَرِيِّ وَلِيِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ بِالْخَلَفِ الْحُجَّةِ صَاحِبِ الْأَمْرِ مُظْهِرِ الْبَرَاهِينِ
And by Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, the clear swallower (of anger), withholder of the oppressors, and by Ali-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza-asws, the trustworthy, and by Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws the generous, flag of the guided ones, and by Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-asws the righteous, the truthful chief of the worshippers, and by Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali Al-Askari-asws guardian of the Momineen, and by the replacement, the Divine Authority, master of the command, manifester of the proofs!
أَنْ تَكْشِفَ مَا بِي مِنَ الْهُمُومِ وَ تَكْفِيَنِي شَرَّ الْبَلَاءِ الْمَحْتُومِ وَ تُجِيرَنِي مِنَ النَّارِ ذَاتِ السَّمُومِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-
Remove whatever worries there are with me, and Suffice me of the evil afflictions Ordained, and Shelter me from the Fire with the toxins, by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
ثُمَّ ادْعُ بِمَا تُرِيدُ وَ وَدِّعْهُ وَ انْصَرِفْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
Then supplicate with whatever you want and bid him-asws farewell and leave, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires!’’[152]
أقول: قال مؤلف المزار الكبير زيارة أخرى له تقصد باب السلام و تكبر الله أربعا و ثلاثين تكبيرة و تحمده ثلاثا و ثلاثين تحميدة و تسبحه ثلاثا و ثلاثين تسبيحة و تهلله أربعا و ثلاثين تهليلة ثم تستقبل الضريح و تقول سلام الله و سلام ملائكته
I say, the author of the (the book) ‘Al-Mazar Al-Kabeer’ mentions another Ziyarat for him-asws. You face ‘Al-Salaam’ door and, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest’ thirty-four times, and ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj’ thirty-three times, and ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj’ thirty-three times, and ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj thirty-four times. Then, you face the Shrine and say, ‘The Greeting of Allah-azwj and greeting of the Angels be upon you-asws!’
أقول و ساق الزيارة نحوا مما مر بأدنى تغيير تركناها مخافة التكرار إلى قوله يا أرحم الراحمين
I say, and the narration of the Ziyarat is similar to what has been mentioned before, with minor changes. We omitted it to avoid repetition, up until the phrase: ‘O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
ثم قال تصلي صلاة الزيارة ست ركعات كل ركعتين بتسليمة و تسجد بعدها و تقول في سجودك ما كان يقوله أمير المؤمنين ع و هو
Then, he said, ‘Pray Salat of the Ziyarat of six units, each unit with a Salaam, and do Sajdah after it and say in your Sajdah what Amir Al-Momineen-asws had said, and it is: –
أُنَاجِيكَ يَا سَيِّدِي كَمَا يُنَاجِي الْعَبْدُ الذَّلِيلُ مَوْلَاهُ وَ أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ طَلَبَ مَنْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تُعْطِي وَ لَا يَنْقُصُ مَا عِنْدَكَ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ اسْتِغْفَارَ مَنْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَ أَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكُّلَ مَنْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
‘I whisper to You-azwj, O my Master, like what the humble slave whispers to his master, and seeks to You-azwj a seeking by the one who knows You-azwj will Give, and it will not reduce with is in Your-azwj possession, and I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness, seeking Forgiveness by the one who knows that no one forgives the sins except You-azwj, and I rely upon You-azwj a reliance by the one who knows You-azwj are Able upon all things!’
ثم تقول العفو مائة مرة فإذا أردت وداعه تقول أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ اللَّهَ وَ أَسْتَرْعِيكَ وَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِالرَّسُولِ وَ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ وَ دَلَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّهُمَ فَاكْتُبْنا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ
Then you should say, ‘The Pardon’, one hundred times. When you want to bid farewell, say, ‘I entrust you-asws to Allah-azwj, and I place you-asws in His-azwj Care and convey to you-asws the greeting, O my master, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, believing in Allah-azwj and the Rasool-saww, and in whatever he-saww had come with and pointed to! O Allah-azwj, Write us among the witnesses!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ وَلِيِّكَ الْهَادِي بَعْدَ نَبِيِّكَ النَّذِيرِ الْمُنْذِرِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْعَوْدَ إِلَيْهِ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي فَإِذَا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي فَاحْشُرْنِي مَعَهُ وَ فِي زُمْرَتِهِ وَ تَحْتَ لِوَائِهِ وَ لَا تُفَرِّقْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَ لَا أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ لَا أَكْثَرَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! Do not Make it last of the pacts of visiting the grave of Your-azwj Guardian, the guide after Your-azwj Prophet-saww, the warner, the admonisher, and Grace me the return to him-asws forever, for as long as You-azwj Cause me to remain! When You-azwj Cause me to die, then Resurrect me with him-asws, and in his-asws group, and beneath his-asws flag, and do not separate between me-asws and him-asws for the blink of an eye, nor less than that nor more, by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[153]
23- ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ زِيَارَةٌ خَامِسَةٌ وَرَدَ فِيهَا ثَوَابٌ مُضَاعَفٌ يُزَارُ بِهَا صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَقِفُ عَلَى ضَرِيحِهِ الشَّرِيفِ وَ تَقُولُ
Then the Seyyid, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said, ‘A fifth Ziyarat, multiple Rewards are referred in it to visit him-asws with, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws – You should pause at his-asws noble shrine and say:
أَقُولُ أَوْرَدَ الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ ره هَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةَ بِأَدْنَى تَغْيِيرٍ مَعَ زِيَادَاتٍ فَنَتَّبِعُ لَفْظَهُ لِأَنَّهُ أَسْبَقُ وَ أَوْثَقُ قَالَ ره تَتِمَّةٌ فِي ذِكْرِ زِيَارَةِ مَوْلَانَا أَبِي الْحَسَنِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ- وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحُسَيْنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا جَمِيعاً وَ هِيَ مَرْوِيَّةٌ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع

فَاشْفَعَا لِي أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ مُفَوِّضاً أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ مُلْجِئاً ظَهْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ مُتَوَكِّلًا عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ أَقُولُ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَ كَفَى سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ دَعَا لَيْسَ وَرَاءَ اللَّهِ وَ وَرَاءَكُمْ يَا سَادَتِي مُنْتَهًى مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبِّي كَانَ وَ مَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ
Intercede for me to be transferred upon whatever Allah-azwj Desires! There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj! I delegate my affairs to Allah-azwj, leaning my back to Allah-azwj, relying upon Allah-azwj, and I am saying Allah-azwj is Sufficient for me as a Sufficer! Allah-azwj Listens to the one who supplicates! There isn’t anyone beyond Allah-azwj and beyond you-asws any end-point, O my chiefs! Whatever Allah-azwj, my Lord-azwj Desires, happens, and whatever He-azwj does not Desire, does not happen!
يَا سَيِّدِي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ مَوْلَايَ وَ أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ- سَلَامِي عَلَيْكُمَا مُتَّصِلٌ مَا اتَّصَلَ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ وَاصِلٌ إِلَيْكُمَا غَيْرُ مَحْجُوبٍ عَنْكُمَا سَلَامِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
O my chief, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws and my master, and you-asws O Abu Abdullah-asws! My greeting be upon you-asws both, connecting for as long as the night and the day connect, connecting to you-asws without my greeting be veiled from you-asws, if Allah-azwj so Desires!
وَ أَسْأَلُهُ بِحَقِّكُمَا أَنْ يَشَاءَ ذَلِكَ وَ يَفْعَلَ فَإِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ أَنْقَلِبُ يَا سَيِّدِي عَنْكُمَا تَائِباً حَامِداً لِلَّهِ شَاكِراً رَاضِياً مُسْتَيْقِناً لِلْإِجَابَةِ غَيْرَ آيِسٍ وَ لَا قَانِطٍ عَائِداً رَاجِعاً إِلَى زِيَارَتِكُمَا غَيْرَ رَاغِبٍ عَنْكُمَا بَلْ رَاجِعٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْكُمَا
And I ask Him-azwj, by both your-asws rights, to Desire that and Do it, for He-azwj is Praised, Glorified! I turn back from you-asws, O my chiefs, repentant, praising to Allah-azwj, grateful, contented, convinced of the Response without despair nor despondency or returning to your-asws Ziyarat without having turned away from you-asws, but return to you-asws both, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires!
يَا سَادَاتِي رَغِبْتُ إِلَيْكُمَا بَعْدَ أَنْ زَهِدَ فِيكُمَا وَ فِي زِيَارَتِكُمَا أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا فَلَا يُخَيِّبُنِي اللَّهُ فِيمَا رَجَوْتُ وَ مَا أَمَّلْتُ فِي زِيَارَتِكُمَا إِنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ-
O my chiefs! I have turned to you-asws after the people of the world have shown indifference toward you-asws and visiting you-asws! May Allah-azwj not disappoint me in what I hope and aspire for through your-asws Ziyarat, for He-azwj is Near, Responding!’
ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبِلْ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ وَ قُلْ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا مُجِيبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ وَ يَا كَاشِفَ كَرْبِ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ وَ يَا غِيَاثَ الْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ وَ يَا صَرِيخَ الْمُسْتَصْرِخِينَ وَ يَا مَنْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيَّ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ
Then face towards the Qiblah and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Responder to the supplication of the desperate, and O remover of the stress of the distressed, and O Helpers of the seekers of help, and O Listener to the cries for help, and O the One-azwj Who is closer to me than the jugular vein!
يَا مَنْ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَ قَلْبِهِ وَ يَا مَنْ هُوَ الرَّحْمنُ الرَّحِيمُ يَا مَنْ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوى يَا مَنْ يَعْلَمُ خائِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ وَ ما تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ وَ يَا مَنْ لَا تَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ خَافِيَةٌ يَا مَنْ لَا تَشْتَبِهُ عَلَيْهِ الْأَصْوَاتُ يَا مَنْ لَا تُغَلِّطُهُ الْحَاجَاتُ يَا مَنْ لَا يُبْرِمُهُ إِلْحَاحُ الْمُلِحِّينَ يَا مُدْرِكَ كُلِّ فَوْتٍ يَا جَامِعَ كُلِّ شَمْلٍ
O the One-azwj Who Intervenes between the person and his heart, and O the One-azwj Who is the Beneficent, the Merciful! O the One-azwj Who is Even upon the Throne! O the One-azwj Who Knows treachery of the eyes and what the chests conceal, O the One-azwj no hiding one is hidden unto Him-azwj! O the One-azwj the voices are not confusing to Him-azwj! O the One-azwj the needs do not Err Him-azwj! O the One-azwj the insistence of the insisting one does not Weary Him-azwj! O Realiser of everything lost! O Gatherer of every family!
يَا بَارِئَ النُّفُوسِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ يَا مَنْ هُوَ كُلُّ يَوْمٍ فِي شَأْنٍ يَا قَاضِيَ الْحَاجَاتِ يَا مُنَفِّسَ الْكُرُبَاتِ يَا مُعْطِيَ السُؤْلَاتِ يَا وَلِيَّ الرَّغَبَاتِ يَا كَافِيَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ يَا مَنْ يَكْفِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَا يَكْفِي مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ
O Maker of the souls after the death! O the One-azwj Who is in a State of Glory every day! O Fulfiller of the needs! O Reliever of the distresses! O Granter of the requests! O Guardian of the desires! O Sufficer of the important matters! O the One-azwj Who Suffices from all things and nothing sufficed from Him-azwj in the skies and the earth!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ- وَ بِحَقِّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ بِحَقِّ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ- فَإِنِّي بِهِمْ أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا وَ بِهِمْ أَتَوَسَّلُ وَ بِهِمْ أَسْتَشْفِعُ إِلَيْكَ وَ بِحَقِّهِمْ أَسْأَلُكَ وَ أُقْسِمُ وَ أَعْزِمُ عَلَيْكَ
I ask You-azwj by the right of Muhammad-asws and Ali-asws Emir of the Momineen, and by the right of (Syeda) Fatima-asws daughter-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and by the right of Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, for I am diverting to You-azwj through them-asws in this place of mine, and through them-asws I seek means, and through them-asws I seek intercession to You-azwj, and through them-asws I ask You-azwj, and I swear, and I determine upon You-azwj!
وَ بِالشَّأْنِ الَّذِي لَهُمْ عِنْدَكَ وَ بِالَّذِي فَضَّلْتَهُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ وَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ عِنْدَهُمْ وَ بِهِ خَصَصْتَهُمْ دُونَ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ بِهِ أَبَنْتَهُمْ وَ أَبَنْتَ فَضْلَهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ فَضْلٍ حَتَّى فَاقَ فَضْلُهُمْ فَضْلَ الْعَالَمِينَ جَمِيعاً
And by the glory which is for them-asws in Your-azwj Presence, You-azwj have merited them over the worlds, and by Your-azwj Name which You-azwj Made it to be in their-asws possession, and have Specialised them-asws with apart from the worlds, and by it You-azwj Manifested them and Manifested their-asws merits from every merit until their-asws merits are above merits of the worlds altogether!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَكْشِفَ عَنِّي غَمِّي وَ هَمِّي وَ كَرْبِي وَ أَنْ تَكْفِيَنِي الْمُهِمَّ مِنْ أَمْرِي وَ تَقْضِيَ عَنِّي دَيْنِي وَ تُجِيرَنِي مِنَ الْفَقْرِ وَ الْفَاقَةِ وَ تُغْنِيَنِي عَنِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ إِلَى الْمَخْلُوقِينَ
And I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Remove from me my sadness, and my worries, and my stress, and to Suffice me of the important matters, and Pay off my debts on my behalf, and to Rescue me from the poverty and the destitution, and to Enrich me from the asking to the created beings!
وَ تَكْفِيَنِي هَمَّ مَنْ أَخَافُ هَمَّهُ وَ عُسْرَ مَنْ أَخَافُ عُسْرَهُ وَ حُزُونَةَ مَنْ أَخَافُ حُزُونَتَهُ وَ شَرَّ مَنْ أَخَافُ شَرَّهُ وَ مَكْرَ مَنْ أَخَافُ مَكْرَهُ وَ بَغْيَ مَنْ أَخَافُ بَغْيَهُ وَ جَوْرَ مَنْ أَخَافُ جَوْرَهُ وَ سُلْطَانَ مَنْ أَخَافُ سُلْطَانَهُ وَ كَيْدَ مَنْ أَخَافُ كَيْدَهُ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي كَيْدَهُ وَ مَكْرَهُ وَ مَقْدُرَةَ مَنْ أَخَافُ مَقْدُرَتَهُ عَلَيَّ وَ تَرُدَّ عَنِّي كَيْدَ الْكَيَدَةِ وَ مَكْرَ الْمَكَرَةِ
And Suffice me of the worries of the one I fear worrying of, and difficulty of the one I fear his difficulty, and grief of the one I fear his grief, and evil of the one I fear his evil, and abhorrence of the one I fear his abhorrence, and rebellion of the one I fear his rebellion, and tyranny of the one I fear his tyranny, and authority of the one I fear his authority, and plot of the one I fear his plot, and Turn away from me his plot, and his abhorrence, and power of the one I fear his power over me, and Repel from me the plot of the plotters and plan of the planners!
اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي بِسُوءٍ فَأَرِدْهُ وَ مَنْ كَادَنِي فَكِدْهُ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي كَيْدَهُ وَ بَأْسَهُ وَ أَمَانِيَّهُ وَ امْنَعْهُ عَنِّي كَيْفَ شِئْتَ وَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ
O Allah-azwj! One who intends be with evil, Intend him, and one who plots me, Plan (against) him and Tur his plot away from me, and his wishes, and Prevent him from me however You-azwj Desire to, and whenever You-azwj Desire to!
اللَّهُمَّ اشْغَلْهُ عَنِّي بِفَقْرٍ لَا تَجْبُرُهُ وَ بَلَاءٍ لَا تَسْتُرُهُ وَ بِفَاقَةٍ لَا تَسُدُّهَا وَ بِسُقْمٍ لَا تُعَافِيهِ وَ بِذُلٍّ لَا تُعِزُّهُ وَ مَسْكَنَةٍ لَا تَجْبُرُهَا
O Allah-azwj! Pre-occupy him from me with poverty he cannot mend, and affliction he cannot cover, and with destitution he cannot block, and with sickness he cannot treat, and with disgrace he cannot get honour, and neediness he cannot mend!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلِ الذُّلَّ نُصْبَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَ أَدْخِلِ الْفَقْرَ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ وَ السُّقْمَ فِي بَدَنِهِ حَتَّى تَشْغَلَهُ عَنِّي بِشُغُلٍ شَاغِلٍ لَا فَرَاغَ لَهُ وَ أَنْسِهِ ذِكْرِي كَمَا أَنْسَيْتَهُ ذِكْرَكَ وَ خُذْ عَنِّي بِسَمْعِهِ وَ بَصَرِهِ وَ لِسَانِهِ وَ يَدِهِ وَ رِجْلِهِ وَ قَلْبِهِ وَ جَمِيعِ جَوَارِحِهِ
O Allah-azwj! Make the disgrace installed in his eyes, and Enter the poverty in his house, and the sickness in his body until You-azwj Pre-occupy him from me with a pre-occupation there being no free time for him, and causes him to forget my remembrance just as You-azwj Cause him to forget Your-azwj remembrance, and Seize on my behalf his hearing, and his sight, and his tongue, and his hand, and his leg, and his heart and entirety of his limbs!
وَ أَدْخِلْ عَلَيْهِ فِي جَمِيعِ ذَلِكَ السُّقْمَ وَ لَا تَشْفِهِ حَتَّى تَجْعَلَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ شُغُلًا شَاغِلًا عَنِّي وَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي وَ اكْفِنِي يَا كَافِيَ مَا لَا يَكْفِي سِوَاكَ يَا مُفَرِّجَ مَنْ لَا مُفَرِّجَ لَهُ سِوَاكَ وَ مُغِيثَ مِنْ لَا مُغِيثَ لَهُ سِوَاكَ وَ جَارَ مَنْ لَا جَارَ لَهُ سِوَاكَ وَ مَلْجَأَ مَنْ لَا مَلْجَأَ لَهُ غَيْرُكَ
And Enter upon him in entirety of that, the sickness which cannot be healed until You-azwj Make that a pre-occupation for him, pre-occupying him from me, and from remembering me, and Suffice me, O Sufficer of what no one apart from You-azwj can suffice! O Reliever of the one who has not reliever apart from You-azwj, and Helper of the one having no helper for him apart from You-azwj, and Shelter of the one having not shelter for him apart from You-azwj, and Rescuer of one having no rescuer for him other than You-azwj!
أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي وَ رَجَائِي وَ مَفْزَعِي وَ مَهْرَبِي وَ مَلْجَئِي وَ مَنْجَايَ فَبِكَ أَسْتَفْتِحُ وَ بِكَ أَسْتَنْجِحُ وَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَتَوَسَّلُ وَ أَتَشَفَّعُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ لَكَ الْمِنَّةُ وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمُشْتَكَى وَ أَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ
You are my Trust, and my Hope, and my Shelter, and my Rescue, and my Saviour! So by You-azwj I seek to begin and with You-azwj I seek success, and with Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww I divert to You-azwj and I seek means and intercession! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj, and for You-azwj is the Praise, and for You-azwj is the Conferment, and to You-azwj is the complaint, and You-azwj are the Aider!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَكْشِفَ عَنِّي غَمِّي وَ هَمِّي وَ كَرْبِي فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا كَمَا كَشَفْتَ عَنْ نَبِيِّكَ غَمَّهُ وَ كَرْبَهُ وَ هَمَّهُ وَ كَفَيْتَهُ هَوْلَ عَدُوِّهِ
I ask You-azwj by the right of Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Remove from me my sadness, and my worries, and my distress in this place of mine just as You-azwj had Removed from Your-azwj Prophet-saww, his-saww sadness, and his-saww stress, and his-asws worries and Removed the horror of his-saww enemies!
فَاكْشِفْ عَنِّي كَمَا كَشَفْتَ عَنْهُ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي كَمَا فَرَّجْتَ عَنْهُ وَ اكْفِنِي كَمَا كَفَيْتَهُ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي هَوْلَ مَا أَخَافُ هَوْلَهُ وَ مَئُونَةَ مَنْ أَخَافُ مَئُونَتَهُ وَ هَمَّ مَنْ أَخَافُ هَمَّهُ بِلَا مَئُونَةٍ عَلَى نَفْسِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ اصْرِفْنِي بِقَضَاءِ حَاجَتِي وَ كِفَايَةِ مَا أَهَمَّنِي هَمُّهُ مِنْ أَمْرِ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-
Remove from me just as You-azwj had Removed from him-saww, and Relieve from me just as You-azwj had Relieve from him-asws, and Suffice me just as You-azwj had Sufficed him-saww, and Turn away from me the horror of what I fear its horror, and ailment of the one I fear his ailment and worry of the one I fear his worry without any ailment being upon myself from that, and Turn me with my needs having been fulfilled, and sufficiency of what its worry worries me, from the matters of my world and my Hereafter, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
ثُمَّ تَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحُسَيْنِ مَا بَقِيتُ وَ بَقِيَ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ وَ لَا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنِّي لِزِيَارَتِكُمَا وَ لَا فَرَّقَ اللَّهُ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكُمَا ثُمَّ تَنْصَرِفُ.
Then turn towards Amir Al-Momineen-asws and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and the greeting be upon Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn-asws, for as long as I remain and the night and day remain, and may Allah-azwj not Make it last of the pacts from me for visiting you-asws both, and my Allah-azwj not Separate between me and you-asws both!’ – then leave’’.[154]
