38- زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى لَهُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَوْرَدَهَا السَّيِّدُ وَ غَيْرُهُ وَ الظَّاهِرُ أَنَّهُ مِنْ تَأْلِيفِ السَّيِّدِ الْمُرْتَضَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ فِي مِصْبَاحِ الزَّائِرِ زِيَارَةً بِأَلْفَاظٍ شَافِيَةٍ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا بَعْضُ مَصَائِبِ يَوْمِ الطَّفِّ يُزَارُ بِهَا الْحُسَيْنُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَامُهُ زَارَ بِهَا الْمُرْتَضَى عَلَمُ الْهُدَى رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَأَذْكُرُهَا عَلَى الْوَصْفِ الَّذِي أَشَارَ هُوَ إِلَيْهِ
Another Ziyarat of his-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws referred to by the Seyyid and others, and the apparent is it is from compilation of the Seyyid Al-Murtaza, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, said in ‘Misbah Al-Zaair’ a Ziyarat with the healing wording mentioning in it some of the calamities on the day of Al-Taff (Karbala) to visit Al-Husayn-asws with, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Greeting be upon him-asws which was visited with by Al Murtaza the flag of guidance, may the Pleasure of Allah-azwj be upon him, and I shall be mentioning it upon the description which he had indicated to.
قَالَ: فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ الْخُرُوجَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ تَوَجَّهْتُ وَ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ بِكَ اسْتَعَنْتُ وَ وَجْهَكَ طَلَبْتُ وَ لِزِيَارَةِ ابْنِ نَبِيِّكَ أَرَدْتُ وَ لِرِضْوَانِكَ تَعَرَّضْتُ
He said, ‘When you intend to go out from your house, say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I have diverted to You-azwj, and relied upon You-azwj, and sought assistance with You-azwj, and sought Your-azwj Face, and I have intended to visit the son-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww and have exposed to Your-azwj Pleasure!
اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي فِي سَفَرِي وَ حَضَرِي وَ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِي وَ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَ عَنْ شِمَالِي وَ مِنْ فَوْقِي وَ مِنْ تَحْتِي وَ أَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَتِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ ذِي شَرٍّ
O Allah-azwj! Protect me in my journey, and my presence, and from my front, and from behind me, and on my right, and on my left, and from above me, and from beneath him, and I seek Refuge with Your-azwj Magnificence from evil of every one with evil!
اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي بِمَا حَفِظْتَ بِهِ كِتَابَكَ الْمُنَزَلَ عَلَى نَبِيِّكَ الْمُرْسَلِ يَا مَنْ قَالَ وَ هُوَ أَصْدَقُ الْقَائِلِينَ إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَ إِنَّا لَهُ لَحافِظُونَ
O Allah-azwj! Protect me with what You-azwj had Protected Your-azwj Book Revealed unto Your-azwj Sent Prophet-saww! O One Who Said, and He-azwj is most Truthful of the speakers: Surely, We Sent down the Zikr (Reminder) and We are the Protectors for him [15:9]’.
فَإِذَا بَلَغْتَ الْمَنْزِلَ تَقُولُ رَبِّ أَنْزِلْنِي مُنْزَلًا مُبارَكاً وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنْزِلِينَ رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِي مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَ أَخْرِجْنِي مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطاناً نَصِيراً اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُمَّ
When you reach the destination, say, ‘Lord! Disembark me in a Blessed landing, and you are the best of the Landers’ [23:29] ‘Lord! Cause me to enter a correct entrance, and Cause me to go exit a correct exit, and Make for me from Yourself a (Divine) Authority, a persistent helper [17:80]. Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest!
إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْبُقْعَةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ وَ خَيْرَ أَهْلِهَا وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَ شَرِّ أَهْلِهَا
I ask You-azwj for goodness of this Blessed spot, and goodness of its people, and I seek refuge with You-azwj from its evil and evil of its people!
اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْنِي إِلَى خَلْقِكَ وَ أَفِضْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ سَعَةِ رِزْقِكَ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِلْقِيَامِ بِأَدَاءِ حَقِّكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ مَنِّكَ وَ إِحْسَانِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ
O Allah-azwj! Cause me to be beloved to Your-azwj creatures, and Pour upon me from the vastness of Your-azwj sustenance, and Harmonise me for the standing by fulfilling Your-azwj Right by Your-azwj Mercy, and Your-azwj Pleasure, and Your-azwj Conferment, and Your-azwj Favour, O Benevolent!’
فَإِذَا رَأَى الْقُبَّةَ فَيَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ سَلامٌ عَلى عِبادِهِ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفى آللَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ وَ سَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ وَ سَلَامٌ عَلَى آلِ يس إِنَّا كَذلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ
When he saw the dome, he said, ‘‘The Praise is for Allah and greetings be upon His servants, those He Chose. Is Allah better or what they are associating? [27:59] And greetings be upon the Rasools [37:181] And the Praise is for Allah, Lord of the Worlds [37:182], and greeting be upon the Progeny-asws of Yaseen! Surely this is how We-azwj Reward the good doers!
وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ الصَّادِقِينَ الْقَائِمِينَ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَ حُجَجِهِ الدَّاعِينَ إِلَى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ وَ النَّاصِحِينَ لِجَمِيعِ عِبَادِهِ الْمُسْتَخْلِفِينَ فِي بِلَادِهِ الْمُرْشِدِينَ إِلَى هِدَايَتِهِ وَ إِرْشَادِهِ إِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
The greeting be upon the goodly, the pure, the successors-asws, the truthful, the ones standing with the Command of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Divine Authorities, the callers to the way of Allah-azwj, the fighters for the Sake of Allah-azwj as is the right of fighting, and the advisers to the entirety of His-azwj creatures, the replacements in His-azwj land, the rightly directing to His-azwj Guidance, He-azwj is Praised, Glorified!’
فَإِذَا قَرُبَ مِنَ الْمَشْهَدِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ قَصَدَ الْقَاصِدُونَ وَ فِي فَضْلِكَ طَمِعَ الرَّاغِبُونَ وَ بِكَ اعْتَصَمَ الْمُعْتَصِمُونَ وَ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلَ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ وَ قَدْ قَصَدْتُكَ وَافِداً وَ إِلَى سِبْطِ نَبِيِّكَ وَارِداً وَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ طَامِعاً وَ لِعِزَّتِكَ خَاضِعاً وَ لِوُلَاةِ أَمْرِكَ طَائِعاً وَ لِأَمْرِهِمْ مُتَابِعاً وَ بِكَ وَ بِمَنِّكَ عَائِذاً وَ بِقَبْرِ وَلِيِّكَ مُتَمَسِّكاً وَ بِحَبْلِكَ مُعْتَصِماً
When he was close to the Shrine, he said, ‘O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj aim the aiming ones, and regarding Your-azwj Grace covet the desiring ones, and with You-azwj the holing ones hold on to, and upon You-azwj rely the relying ones, and I have aimed to You-azwj as a delegate to a grandson of Your-azwj Prophet-saww I have arrived, and with Your-azwj Mercy I am coveting, and to Your-azwj Might I am humble, and to Masters of Your-azwj Command I am obedient, and to their-asws orders I am a follower, and with You-azwj and with Your-azwj Conferment, and with the grave of Your-azwj Guardian I am adhering, and with Your-azwj Rope I am holding on to!
اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْنِي عَلَى مَحَبَّةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ لَا تَقْطَعْ أَثَرِي عَنْ زِيَارَتِهِمْ وَ احْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَتِهِمْ وَ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ بِشَفَاعَتِهِمْ
O Allah-azwj! Affirm me upon love for Your-azwj Guardians and do not Cut off my impacts from visiting them-asws, and Gather me in their-asws group, and Admit me in the Paradise due to their-asws intercession!’
فَإِذَا بَلَغَ مَوْضِعَ الْقَتْلِ يَقُولُ أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلى نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ
When he reached the place of the killing, he said, ‘There is Permission (to fight) for those who are fought against because they are oppressed, and surely Allah is Able upon Helping them [22:39].
وَ لا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْواتاً بَلْ أَحْياءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ فَرِحِينَ بِما آتاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ أَلَّا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
And do not reckon those who are killed in Allah’s Way as dead; but, they are alive being sustained in the Presence of their Lord [3:169] Rejoicing in what Allah has Given them from His Grace and they are receiving glad tidings of those whom have yet to join them from the ones they left behind. There would neither be fear upon them nor would they be grieving [3:170]
يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فَضْلٍ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
They would be receiving glad tidings of the Bounties from Allah and Grace, and that Allah will not waste the Recompense of the Momineen [3:171].
قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ فاطِرَ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ عالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهادَةِ أَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبادِكَ فِي ما كانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ
‘O Allah! Originator of the skies and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen! You will Judge between Your servants regarding what they were differing in’ [39:46].
وَ لا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ غافِلًا عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ إِنَّما يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الْأَبْصارُ مُهْطِعِينَ مُقْنِعِي رُؤُسِهِمْ لا يَرْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ وَ أَفْئِدَتُهُمْ هَواءٌ
And do not reckon Allah to be oblivious of what the unjust are doing. But rather, He Respites them to a Day in which the eyes shall be staring (in horror) [14:42] (They would be) running ahead, their heads raised, their eyes not reverting back to them and their hearts vacant [14:43] .
وَ أَنْذِرِ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ يَأْتِيهِمُ الْعَذابُ فَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا رَبَّنا أَخِّرْنا إِلى أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ نُجِبْ دَعْوَتَكَ وَ نَتَّبِعِ الرُّسُلَ أَ وَ لَمْ تَكُونُوا أَقْسَمْتُمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ ما لَكُمْ مِنْ زَوالٍ
And warn the people of the Day when the Punishment shall come to them, so those who were unjust will be saying, ‘Our Lord! Respite us to a near term, we will answer Your Call and follow the Rasools’. Or did you not happen to be swearing from before there would be no decline for you? [14:44].
وَ سَكَنْتُمْ فِي مَساكِنِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ تَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ كَيْفَ فَعَلْنا بِهِمْ وَ ضَرَبْنا لَكُمُ الْأَمْثالَ وَ قَدْ مَكَرُوا مَكْرَهُمْ وَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَكْرُهُمْ وَ إِنْ كانَ مَكْرُهُمْ لِتَزُولَ مِنْهُ الْجِبالُ
And you dwelt in the abodes of those who were unjust to themselves, and it is clear to you how We Dealt with them, and We Struck the examples for you [14:45] And they had plotted their plots, but their plots are with Allah, and even though their plots were such that the mountains would have moved from it [14:46].
فَلا تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ مُخْلِفَ وَعْدِهِ رُسُلَهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ ذُو انتِقامٍ
Therefore do not reckon Allah to be breaking the promises of His Rasools, surely Allah is Mighty with the Revenge [14:47].
وَ سَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And they shall come to know, those who are being unjust, which overturning they would be Overturned with [26:227].
رِجالٌ صَدَقُوا ما عاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضى نَحْبَهُ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَ ما بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا
men who ratified what they made a pact with Allah upon. So, from them is one who fulfilled his vow, and from them is one who awaits, and they did not change with any alteration [33:23].
عِنْدَ اللَّهِ نَحْتَسِبُ مُصِيبَتَنَا فِي سِبْطِ نَبِيِّنَا وَ سَيِّدِنَا وَ إِمَامِنَا أَعْزِزْ عَلَيْنَا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِمَصْرَعِكَ هَذَا فَرِيداً وَحِيداً قَتِيلًا غَرِيباً عَنِ الْأَوْطَانِ بَعِيداً عَنِ الْأَهْلِ وَ الْإِخْوَانِ مَسْلُوبَ الثِّيَابِ مُعَفَّراً فِي التُّرَابِ قَدْ نُحِرَ نَحْرُكَ وَ خُسِفَ صَدْرُكَ وَ اسْتُبِيحَ حَرِيمُكَ وَ ذُبِحَ فَطِيمُكَ وَ سُبِيَ أَهْلُكَ وَ انْتُهِبَ رَحْلُكَ
In the Presence of Allah-azwj we will reckon our calamity in the grandson-asws of our Prophet-saww, our master, and our Imam-asws! It pains us deeply, O Abu Abdullah-asws, to see you-asws slain like this, alone, without a companion, killed far from your-asws homeland, distant from your-asws family and brothers, stripped of your-asws clothes, covered in dust. Your-asws throat was slit, your chest-asws crushed, your-asws sanctity violated, your-asws infant slaughtered, your-asws family taken captive, your-asws camp looted.
تَقَلَّبُ يَمِيناً وَ شِمَالًا وَ تَتَجَرَّعُ مِنَ الْغُصَصِ أَهْوَالًا لَهْفِي عَلَيْكَ وَ أَنْتَ لَهْفَانٌ وَ أَنْتَ مُجَدَّلٌ عَلَى الرَّمْضَاءِ ظَمْآنٌ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ خِطَاباً وَ لَا تَرُدُّ جَوَاباً قَدْ فُجِعَتْ بِكَ نِسْوَانُكَ وَ وُلْدُكَ وَ اجْتُزَّ رَأْسُكَ مِنْ جَسَدِكَ لَقَدْ صُرِعَ بِمَصْرَعِكَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَ تَعَطَّلَتِ الْحُدُودُ وَ الْأَحْكَامُ وَ أَظْلَمَتِ الْأَيَّامُ وَ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَ أَظْلَمَ الْقَمَرُ وَ احْتَبَسَ الْغَيْثُ وَ الْمَطَرُ وَ اهْتُزَّ الْعَرْشُ وَ السَّمَاءُ وَ اقْشَعَرَّتِ الْأَرْضُ وَ الْبَطْحَاءُ وَ شَمِلَ الْبَلَاءُ وَ اخْتَلَفَتِ الْأَهْوَاءُ وَ فُجِعَ بِكَ الرَّسُولُ وَ أُزْعِجَتِ الْبَتُولُ وَ طَاشَتِ الْعُقُولُ
You-asws turned right and left, tasting sorrow after sorrow. My anguish for you-asws while you-asws were in anguish, lying on the burning ground, thirsty, unable to speak, unable to reply! Your-asws women and children were struck with grief for you-asws, and your-asws head was severed from your body. With your-asws martyrdom, Islam itself was struck down, its laws and rulings were suspended, the days turned dark, the sun was eclipsed, the moon lost its light, rain and Blessings were withheld, the Throne and the skies trembled, the earth and the sacred land shuddered. Tribulation spread everywhere, desires became divided, the Prophet-saww was grief-stricken over you, the Chaste Lady was shaken, and the intellects was lost.
فَلَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَنْ جَارَ عَلَيْكَ وَ ظَلَمَكَ وَ مَنَعَكَ الْمَاءَ وَ اهْتَضَمَكَ وَ غَدَرَ بِكَ وَ خَذَلَكَ وَ أَلَبَّ عَلَيْكَ وَ قَتَلَكَ وَ نَكَثَ بَيْعَتَكَ وَ عَهْدَكَ وَ أَخْلَفَ مِيثَاقَكَ وَ وَعْدَكَ وَ أَعَانَ عَلَيْكَ ضِدَّكَ وَ أَغْضَبَ بِفِعَالِهِ جَدَّكَ وَ سَلَامُ اللَّهِ وَ رِضْوَانُهُ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ وَ تَحِيَّاتُهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى الْأَزْكِيَاءِ مِنَ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ وَ النُّجَبَاءِ مِنْ عِتْرَتِكَ إِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
May the Curse of Allah-azwj be upon those who wronged you-asws, oppressed you-asws, denied you-asws water, violated your-asws rights, betrayed you-asws, abandoned-asws you, incited others against you-asws, killed you-asws, broke their pledge and covenant with you-asws, went back on their word and promise, supported your-asws enemies against you-asws, and enraged your-asws grandfather-saww by their actions. And may the greeting, Pleasure, Salawaat, and greetings of Allah-azwj be upon you-asws and upon the pure ones from your-asws descendants and the noble ones from your-asws family. Indeed, He-azwj is Praiseworthy, Glorious!’
ثُمَّ تَدْخُلُ الْقُبَّةَ وَ تَقِفُ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى آدَمَ صَفْوَةِ اللَّهِ فِي خَلِيقَتِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى شَيْثٍ وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ وَ خِيَرَتِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى إِدْرِيسَ الْقَائِمِ لِلَّهِ بِحُجَّتِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى نُوحٍ الْمُجَابِ فِي دَعْوَتِهِ

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ الْغَنِيَّ مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى عَنْ خَلْقِكَ بِكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَغْنِنِي يَا رَبِّ عَنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ لَا يَبْسُطُ كَفَّهُ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ
O Allah-azwj! Rich is the one self-sufficient with You-azwj away from Your-azwj creatures, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Make me self-sufficient, O Lord-azwj, from Your-azwj creatures and Make me from the one who does not extend his palm except to You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ الشَّقِيَّ مَنْ قَنَطَ وَ أَمَامَهُ التَّوْبَةُ وَ خَلْفَهُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَ إِنْ كُنْتُ ضَعِيفَ الْعَمَلِ فَإِنِّي فِي رَحْمَتِكَ قَوِيُّ الْأَمَلِ فَهَبْ لِي ضَعْفَ عَمَلِي لِقُوَّةِ أَمَلِي
O Allah-azwj! Wretched is the one who is despondent while the repentance is in front of him, and the Mercy is behind him, and even though I am of weak deeds, I am of strong hopes in Your-azwj Mercy, so Bestow to me my weak deeds to my strong hopes!
اللَّهُمَّ أَمَرْتَ فَعَصَيْنَا وَ نَهَيْتَ فَمَا انْتَهَيْنَا وَ ذَكَّرْتَ فَتَنَاسَيْنَا وَ بَصَّرْتَ فَتَعَامَيْنَا وَ حَذَّرْتَ فَتَعَدَّيْنَا وَ مَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ جَزَاءَ إِحْسَانِكَ إِلَيْنَا وَ أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا أَعْلَنَّا وَ مَا أَخْفَيْنَا وَ أَخْبَرُ بِمَا نَأْتِي وَ مَا أَتَيْنَا
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj Commanded but we disobeyed, and Your-azwj Prohibited be we did not desist, and You-azwj Reminded but we forgot, and You-azwj Made us insightful but we were blinded, and You-azwj Cautioned but we transgressed, and that was not a recompense for Your-azwj Favours to us, and You-azwj are more Knowing of what we announce and what we hide, and more Informed of what we do and what we have done!
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا بِمَا أَخْطَأْنَا فِيهِ وَ نَسِينَا وَ هَبْ لَنَا حُقُوقَكَ لَدَيْنَا وَ تَمِّمْ إِحْسَانَكَ إِلَيْنَا وَ أَسْبِغْ رَحْمَتَكَ عَلَيْنَا
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and do not Seize us due what we have erred in and forgotten, and Bestow to us Your-azwj Rights before us, and Complete Your-azwj Favours to us, and Make Your-azwj Mercy abundant upon us!
إِنَّا نَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ بِهَذَا الصِّدِّيقِ الْإِمَامِ وَ نَسْأَلُكَ بِالْحَقِّ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ لَهُ وَ لِجَدِّهِ رَسُولِكَ وَ لِأَبَوَيْهِ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ الرَّحْمَةِ إِدْرَارَ الرِّزْقِ الَّذِي بِهِ قِوَامُ حَيَاتِنَا وَ صَلَاحُ أَحْوَالِ عِيَالِنَا
We seek means to You-azwj with this truthful Imam-asws, and we ask You-azwj by the right which You-azwj have Made it for him-asws and for his-asws grandfather-saww Your-azwj Rasool-saww and for his-asws parents Ali-asws and (Syeda) Fatima-asws, People-asws of the Household of Mercy, a deluge of sustenance by which is the standing of our lives and correction of the states of our dependants!
فَأَنْتَ الْكَرِيمُ الَّذِي تُعْطِي مِنْ سَعَةٍ وَ تَمْنَعُ عَنْ قُدْرَةٍ وَ نَحْنُ نَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ مَا يَكُونُ صَلَاحاً لِلدُّنْيَا وَ بَلَاغاً لِلْآخِرَةِ وَ آتِنا فِي الدُّنْيا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنا عَذابَ النَّارِ
You-azwj are the Benevolent Who Give from vastness and Prevents from Power, and we ask You-azwj from the goodness what would be correction of the worldly matters, and extensive for the Hereafter, and Give us good in the world and good in the Hereafter and Save us from Punishment of the Fire!’
ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْ إِلَى عِنْدِ الرِّجْلَيْنِ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى مَلَائِكَةِ اللَّهِ الْمُرَفْرَفِينَ حَوْلَ قُبَّتِكَ الْحَافِّينَ بِتُرْبَتِكَ الطَّائِفِينَ بِعَرْصَتِكَ الْوَارِدِينَ لِزِيَارَتِكَ
Then he transferred to be by the legs and said, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O Abu Abdullah-asws and upon the Angels of Proximity of Allah-azwj fluttering around your-asws dome surrounding your-asws soil, performing Tawaaf of your-asws courtyard, the arrivals for visiting you-asws!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنِّي قَصَدْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَ رَجَوْتُ الْفَوْزَ لَدَيْكَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ سَلَامَ الْعَارِفِ بِحُرْمَتِكَ الْمُخْلِصِ فِي وَلَايَتِكَ الْمُتَقَرِّبِ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِمَحَبَّتِكَ الْبَرِيءِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ سَلَامَ مَنْ قَلْبُهُ بِمُصَابِكَ مَقْرُوحٌ وَ دَمْعُهُ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِكَ مَسْفُوحٌ سَلَامَ الْمَفْجُوعِ الْمَحْزُونِ الْوَالِهِ الْمِسْكِينِ
The greeting be upon you-asws, for I have aimed to you-asws and hoped for the success before you-asws! The greeting be upon you-asws greeting of the recogniser of your-asws sanctity, the sincere in your-asws Wilayah, the one drawing closer to Allah-azwj through your-asws Lord-azwj disavowing from your-asws enemies; greeting of the one who heart is injured due to your-asws calamity, and his tears are spilling over at your-asws mention, greeting of the one who is stricken with grief, sorrowful, bewildered, and helpless!
سَلَامَ مَنْ لَوْ كَانَ مَعَكَ بِالطُّفُوفِ لَوَقَاكَ بِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ حَدِّ السُّيُوفِ وَ بَذَلَ حُشَاشَتَهُ دُونَكَ لِلْحُتُوفِ وَ جَاهَدَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ نَصَرَكَ عَلَى مَنْ بَغَىَ عَلَيْكَ وَ فَدَاكَ بِرُوحِهِ وَ جَسَدِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ وَ رُوحُهُ لِرُوحِكَ الْفِدَاءُ وَ أَهْلُهُ لِأَهْلِكَ وِقَاءٌ
Greeting of the one who, if he had been with you-asws at Karbala, would have shielded you-asws with his own self from the edge of the swords, offered his very soul for you-asws against death, fought before you-asws, supported you-asws against those who transgressed against you-asws, and sacrificed his life, body, wealth, and children for you-asws! May his soul be a ransom for yours-asws, and his family a protection for your-asws family!
فَلَئِنْ أَخَّرَتْنِي الدُّهُورُ وَ عَاقَنِي عَنْ نُصْرَتِكَ الْمَقْدُورُ وَ لَمْ أَكُنْ لِمَنْ حَارَبَكَ مُحَارِباً وَ لِمَنْ نَصَبَ لَكَ الْعَدَاوَةَ مُنَاصِباً فَلَأَنْدُبَنَّكَ صَبَاحاً وَ مَسَاءً وَ لَأَبْكِيَنَّ عَلَيْكَ بَدَلَ الدُّمُوعِ دَماً حَسْرَةً عَلَيْكَ وَ تَأَسُّفاً وَ تَحَسُّراً عَلَى مَا دَهَاكَ وَ تَلَهُّفاً حَتَّى أَمُوتَ بِلَوْعَةِ الْمُصَابِ وَ غُصَّةِ الِاكْتِيَابِ
So, if the passing of time has delayed me and fate has hindered me from supporting you-asws, and I was not among those who fought your-asws enemies or stood in opposition to those who declared hostility against you-asws, then I will surely mourn you-asws morning and evening, and I will weep for you-asws with blood instead of tears, out of sorrow and grief for what befell you-asws, and anguish until I die with the pain of this tragedy and the bitterness of sorrow!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ أَقَمْتَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ آتَيْتَ الزَّكَاةَ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ وَ أَطَعْتَ اللَّهَ وَ مَا عَصَيْتَهُ وَ تَمَسَّكْتَ بِحَبْلِهِ فَارْتَضَيْتَهُ وَ خَشِيتَهُ وَ رَاقَبْتَهُ وَ اسْتَحْيَيْتَهُ وَ سَنَنْتَ السُّنَنَ وَ أَطْفَأْتَ الْفِتَنَ وَ دَعَوْتَ إِلَى الرَّشَادِ وَ أَوْضَحْتَ سُبُلَ السَّدَادِ وَ جَاهَدْتَ فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ الْجِهَادِ
I testify you-asws have established the Salat, and gave the Zakat, and instructed with the good and forbade from the evil and the aggression, and obeyed Allah-azwj and did not disobey Him-azwj and held on to His-azwj rope! You-asws Pleased Him-azwj, and feared Him-azwj, and watched out for Him-azwj, and was embarrassed from Him-azwj, and conducted the practices, and extinguished the Fitna, and called to the rightful direction, and clarified the ways of guidance, and fought in the way of Allah-azwj as is the right of Jihad!
وَ كُنْتَ لِلَّهِ طَائِعاً وَ لِجَدِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص تَابِعاً وَ لِقَوْلِ أَبِيكَ سَامِعاً وَ إِلَى وَصِيَّةِ أَخِيكَ مُسَارِعاً وَ لِعِمَادِ الدِّينِ رَافِعاً وَ لِلطُّغْيَانِ قَامِعاً وَ لِلطُّغَاةِ مُقَارِعاً وَ لِلْأُمَّةِ نَاصِحاً وَ فِي غَمَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ سَابِحاً وَ لِلْفُسَّاقِ مُكَافِحاً وَ بِحُجَجِ اللَّهِ قَائِماً وَ لِلْإِسْلَامِ عَاصِماً وَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ رَاحِماً وَ لِلْحَقِّ نَاصِراً وَ عِنْدَ الْبَلَاءِ صَابِراً وَ لِلدِّينِ كَالِئاً وَ عَنْ حَوْزَتِهِ مُرَامِياً وَ عَنِ الشَّرِيعَةِ مُحَامِياً
And you-asws were obedient to Allah-azwj and a follower of your-asws grandfather Muhammad-saww, and a listener to the words of your-asws father-asws and swift to the bequest of your-asws brother-asws, a raiser of the pillars of religion, and a suppressor of tyranny, a challenger to the tyrants, a sincere advisor to the nation, immersed in the depths of death, a combatant against the corrupt, steadfast with the Arguments of Allah-azwj, a protector of Islam, compassionate toward the Muslims, a supporter of truth, patient in tribulation, a guardian of the religion, a defender of its domain, and a protector of the Law!
تَحُوطُ الْهُدَى وَ تَنْصُرُهُ وَ تَبْسُطُ الْعَدْلَ وَ تَنْشُرُهُ وَ تَنْصُرُ الدِّينَ وَ تُظْهِرُهُ وَ تَكُفُّ الْعَابِثَ وَ تَزْجُرُهُ تَأْخُذُ لِلدَّنِيِّ مِنَ الشَّرِيفِ وَ تُسَاوِي فِي الْحُكْمِ بَيْنَ الْقَوِيِّ وَ الضَّعِيفِ كُنْتَ رَبِيعَ الْأَيْتَامِ وَ عِصْمَةَ الْأَنَامِ وَ عِزَّ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ مَعْدِنَ الْأَحْكَامِ وَ حَلِيفَ الْإِنْعَامِ
You-asws safeguarded guidance and supported it, spread justice and established it, upheld the religion and made it manifest, restrained the reckless and deterred them. You-asws took the right of the lowly from the noble and treated the strong and the weak equally in judgment. You-asws were the spring for orphans, the refuge for people, the honour of Islam, the source of rulings, and an ally of generosity!
سَالِكاً فِي طَرِيقَةِ جَدِّكَ وَ أَبِيكَ مُشْبِهاً فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ لِأَخِيكَ وَفِيَّ الذِّمَمِ رَضِيَّ الشِّيَمِ ظَاهِرَ الْكَرَمِ مُجْتَهِداً فِي الْعِبَادَةِ فِي حِنْدِسِ الظُّلَمِ قَوِيمَ الطَّرَائِقِ عَظِيمَ السَّوَابِقِ شَرِيفَ النَّسَبِ مُنِيفَ الْحَسَبِ رَفِيعَ الرُّتَبِ كَثِيرَ الْمَنَاقِبِ مَحْمُودَ الضَّرَائِبِ جَزِيلَ الْمَوَاهِبِ حَلِيماً شَدِيداً عَلِيماً رَشِيداً إِمَاماً شَهِيداً أَوَّاهاً مُنِيباً جَوَاداً مُثِيباً حَبِيباً مَهِيباً
You-asws followed the path of your-asws grandfather-saww and your-asws father-asws, resembled your-asws brother in fulfilling the trust, upheld covenants, were pleasing in character, outwardly generous, diligent in worship during the depths of darkness, upright in conduct, grand in precedence, noble in lineage, lofty in status, exalted in rank, abundant in virtues, praiseworthy in traits, generous in gifts, forbearing yet firm, knowledgeable and rightly guided, an Imam-asws and a martyr, deeply reverent, constantly turning to Allah-azwj, generous in giving and rewarding, beloved and awe-inspiring!
كُنْتَ لِلرَّسُولِ وَلَداً وَ لِلْقُرْآنِ سَنَداً وَ لِلْأُمَّةِ عَضُداً وَ فِي الطَّاعَةِ مُجْتَهِداً حَافِظاً لِلْعَهْدِ وَ الْمِيثَاقِ نَاكِباً عَنْ سَبِيلِ الْفُسَّاقِ تَتَأَوَّهُ تَأَوُّهَ الْمَجْهُودِ طَوِيلَ الرُّكُوعِ وَ السُّجُودِ زَاهِداً فِي الدُّنْيَا زُهْدَ الرَّاحِلِ عَنْهَا نَاظِراً إِلَيْهَا بِعَيْنِ الْمُسْتَوْحِشِ مِنْهَا آمَالُكَ عَنْهَا مَكْفُوفَةٌ وَ هِمَّتُكَ عَنْ زِينَتِهَا مَصْرُوفَةٌ وَ لِحَاظُكَ عَنْ بَهْجَتِهَا مَطْرُوفَةٌ وَ رَغْبَتُكَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مَعْرُوفَةٌ حَتَّى إِذَا الْجَوْرُ مَدَّ بَاعَهُ وَ أَسْفَرَ الظُّلْمُ قِنَاعَهُ وَ دَعَا الْغَيُّ أَتْبَاعَهُ
You-asws were a son-asws to the Rasool-as, a support for the Qur’an, a strength for the nation, and diligent in obedience. You-asws preserved the covenant and the pledge, turned away from the path of the corrupt. You-asws groaned with the groaning of the exhausted, prolonged your Ruk’u and Sajdah, renounced the world with the renunciation of one departing from it, looked at it with the eye of one alienated by it. Your-asws hopes were detached from it, your aspirations turned away from its adornments, your gaze averted from its pleasures, and your-asws desire for the Hereafter well-known, until injustice stretched out its arms, and oppression unveiled its face, and misguidance summoned its followers!
وَ أَنْتَ فِي حَرَمِ جَدِّكَ قَاطِنٌ وَ لِلظَّالِمِينَ مُبَايِنٌ جَلِيسُ الْبَيْتِ وَ الْمِحْرَابِ مُعْتَزِلٌ عَنِ اللَّذَّاتِ وَ الْأَحْبَابِ تُنْكِرُ الْمُنْكَرَ بِقَلْبِكَ وَ لِسَانِكَ عَلَى حَسَبِ طَاقَتِكَ وَ إِمْكَانِكَ
While you-asws resided in the sanctuary of your grandfather-saww, you-asws remained apart from the oppressors. You-asws kept the company of the House (Kabah) and the prayer niche, distancing yourself-asws from pleasures and companions. You-asws rejected evil with your-asws heart and your-asws tongue, according to your-asws ability and capacity!
ثُمَّ اقْتَضَاكَ الْعِلْمُ لِلْإِنْكَار وَ أَلْزَمَكَ أَنْ تُجَاهِدَ الْكُفَّارَ فَسِرْتَ فِي أَوْلَادِكَ وَ أَهَالِيكَ وَ شِيعَتِكَ وَ مَوَالِيكَ وَ صَدَعْتَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ الْبَيِّنَةِ وَ دَعَوْتَ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِإِقَامَةِ الْحُدُودِ وَ طَاعَةِ الْمَعْبُودِ وَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْخِيَانَةِ وَ الطُّغْيَانِ
Then knowledge required you-asws to stand against wrongdoing and obligated you-asws to strive against the Kafirs. So, you-asws set out with your children, your-asws family, your-asws followers, and your-asws supporters. You-asws openly proclaimed the truth and clear evidence. You-asws called toward Allah-azwj with wisdom and excellent preaching. You-asws commanded the establishment of Divine limits and obedience to the Worshipped One, and you-asws forbade betrayal and tyranny!
فَوَاجَهُوكَ بِالظُّلْمِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ فَجَاهَدْتَهُمْ بَعْدَ الْإِيعَادِ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ تَأْكِيدِ الْحُجَّةِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَنَكَثُوا ذِمَامَكَ وَ بَيْعَتَكَ وَ أَسْخَطُوا رَبَّكَ وَ أَغْضَبُوا جَدَّكَ وَ أَنْذَرُوكَ بِالْحَرْبِ فَثَبَتَ لِلطَّعْنِ وَ الضَّرْبِ وَ طَحْطَحْتَ جُنُودَ الْكُفَّارِ وَ شَرَدْتَ جُيُوشَ الْأَشْرَارِ وَ اقْتَحَمْتَ قَسْطَلَ الْغُبَارِ مُجَالِداً بِذِي الْفَقَارِ كَأَنَّكَ عَلِيٌّ الْمُخْتَارُ
So, they confronted you-asws with injustice and aggression, and you-asws struggled against them after warning them and establishing the proof upon them. They broke their covenant with you-asws and their pledge of allegiance, angered your-asws Lord-azwj, and enraged your-asws grandfather-saww. They threatened you-asws with war, yet you-asws stood firm against stabs and strikes. You-asws crushed the armies of the Kafirs, scattered the forces of the wicked, and plunged into the midst of battle, fighting with Zulfiqar (sword), as if you-asws were Ali-asws the Chosen One!
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْكَ ثَابِتَ الْجَأْشِ غَيْرَ خَائِفٍ وَ لَا خَاشٍ نَصَبُوا لَكَ غَوَائِلَ مَكْرِهِمْ وَ قَاتَلُوكَ بِكَيْدِهِمْ وَ شَرِّهِمْ وَ أَجْلَبَ اللَّعِينُ عَلَيْكَ جُنُودَهُ وَ مَنَعُوكَ الْمَاءَ وَ وُرُودَهُ وَ نَاجَزُوكَ الْقِتَالَ وَ عَاجَلُوكَ النِّزَالَ وَ رَشَقُوكَ بِالسِّهَامِ وَ بَسَطُوا إِلَيْكَ الْأَكُفِّ لِلِاصْطِلَامِ وَ لَمْ يَرْعَوْا لَكَ الذِّمَامَ وَ لَا رَاقَبُوا فِيكَ الْأَنَامَ وَ فِي قَتْلِهِمْ أَوْلِيَاءَكَ وَ نَهْبِهِمْ رِحَالَكَ
When they saw you-asws steadfast and unshaken, neither fearful nor submissive, they laid the traps of their deceit for you-asws. They fought you-asws with their plots and their evil. The accursed one rallied his troops against you-asws and denied you-asws access to water and its approach. They rushed to fight you-asws and hastened to battle you-asws. They shot arrows at you-asws and stretched out their hands to destroy you-asws. They did not honour any covenant with you-asws, nor did they regard the people concerning you-asws. They killed your-asws supporters and plundered your-asws camps.
وَ أَنْتَ مُقَدَّمٌ فِي الْهَبَوَاتِ مُحْتَمِلُ لِلْأَذِيَّاتِ وَ قَدْ عَجِبَتْ مِنْ صَبْرِكَ مَلَائِكَةُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ أَحْدَقُوا بِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ الْجِهَاتِ وَ أَثْخَنُوكَ بِالْجِرَاحِ وَ حَالُوا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ مَاءِ الْفُرَاتِ وَ لَمْ يَبْقَ لَكَ نَاصِرٌ وَ أَنْتَ مُحْتَسِبٌ صَابِرٌ تَذُبُّ عَنْ نِسْوَانِكَ وَ أَوْلَادِكَ
And you-asws advanced into the fierce assaults, bearing the harm with endurance. The Angels of the skies were astonished at your patience, and they surrounded you-asws from all directions. They overwhelmed you-asws with wounds and blocked you-asws from reaching the water of the Euphrates. No supporter remained for you-asws, yet you-asws remained steadfast and patient, defending your-asws women and children.
فَهَوَيْتَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ طَرِيحاً ظَمْآنَ جَرِيحاً تَطَؤُكَ الْخُيُولُ بِحَوَافِرِهَا وَ تَعْلُوكَ الطُّغَاةُ بِبَواتِرِهَا قَدْ رَشَحَ لِلْمَوْتِ جَبِينُكَ وَ اخْتَلَفَتْ بِالانْبِسَاطِ وَ الِانْقِبَاضِ شِمَالُكَ وَ يَمِينُكَ تُدِيرُ طَرَفاً مُنْكَسِراً إِلَى رَحْلِكَ وَ قَدْ شُغِلْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ عَنْ وُلْدِكَ وَ أَهْلِكَ وَ أَسْرَعَ فَرَسُكَ شَارِداً وَ إِلَى خِيَامِكَ قَاصِداً مُحَمْحِماً بَاكِياً
Then you-asws fell to the ground, cast down, thirsty and wounded. The horses trampled you-asws under their hooves, and the tyrants struck you with their sharp blades. The sweat of death appeared on your-asws forehead, and your-asws right and left hands moved between stiffness and stillness. Your-asws broken gaze turned toward your-asws camp while you-asws were overwhelmed by your-asws own pain, unable to attend to your-asws children and family. Your-asws horse ran off swiftly, heading toward your-asws tents, neighing and weeping!
فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَ النِّسَاءُ جَوَادَكَ مَخْزِيّاً وَ أَبْصَرْنَ سَرْجَكَ مَلْوِيّاً بَرَزْنَ مِنَ الْخُدُورِ لِلشُّعُورِ نَاشِرَاتٍ وَ لِلْخُدُودِ لَاطِمَاتٍ وَ لِلْوُجُوهِ سَافِرَاتٍ وَ بِالْعَوِيلِ دَاعِيَاتٍ وَ بَعْدَ الْعِزِّ مُذَلَّلَاتٍ وَ إِلَى مَصْرَعِكَ مُبَادِرَاتٍ وَ شِمْرٌ جَالِسٌ عَلَى صَدْرِكَ مُولِغٌ سَيْفَهُ فِي نَحْرِكَ قَابِضٌ شَيْبَتَكَ بِيَدِهِ ذَابِحٌ لَكَ بِمُهَنَّدِهِ
When the women saw your-asws horse returning in shame and noticed your-asws saddle twisted, they rushed out of their tents with their hair unveiled, striking their cheeks, exposing their faces, and crying out in lamentation. After honour, they were humiliated, hurrying toward your-asws place of martyrdom, while Shimr-la was sitting upon your-asws chest, plunging his-la sword into your-asws throat, grasping your-asws beard with his-la hand, slaughtering you-asws with his-la sharpened blade.
وَ قَدْ سَكَنَتْ حَوَاسُّكَ وَ خَمَدَتْ أَنْفَاسُكَ وَ وَرَدَ عَلَى الْقَنَاةِ رَأْسُكَ وَ سُبِيَ أَهْلُكَ كَالعَبِيدِ وَ صُفِّدُوا فِي الْحَدِيدِ فَوْقَ أَقْتَابِ الْمَطِيَّاتِ تَلْفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمْ حَرُورُ الْهَاجِرَاتِ يُسَاقُونَ فِي الْفَلَوَاتِ أَيْدِيهِمْ مَغْلُولَةٌ إِلَى الْأَعْنَاقِ يُطَافُ بِهِمْ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ
And your-asws senses had stilled, your-asws breaths had ceased, your-asws head was raised upon the spear, and your-asws family was taken captive like slaves, bound in chains, placed on the backs of camels. The heat of the scorching desert winds struck their faces as they were driven through the wilderness, their hands shackled to their necks, paraded through the markets.
فَالْوَيْلُ لِلْعُصَاةِ الْفُسَّاقِ لَقَدْ قَتَلُوا بِقَتْلِكَ الْإِسْلَامَ وَ عَطَّلُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَ الصِّيَامَ وَ نَقَضُوا السُّنَنَ وَ الْأَحْكَامَ وَ هَدَمُوا قَوَاعِدَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ حَرَّفُوا آيَاتِ الْقُرْآنِ وَ هَمْلَجُوا فِي الْبَغْيِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ
So, woe to the disobedient and the corrupt! Indeed, with your-asws killing, they killed Islam, suspended Salat and fasting, violated the traditions and laws, destroyed the foundations of faith, distorted the verses of the Qur’an, and ran wild in tyranny and aggression.
لَقَدْ أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ أَجْلِكَ مَوْتُوراً وَ عَادَ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ مَهْجُوراً وَ غُودِرَ الْحَقُّ إِذْ قُهِرْتَ مَقْهُوراً وَ فُقِدَ بِفَقْدِكَ التَّكْبِيرُ وَ التَّهْلِيلُ وَ التَّحْرِيمُ وَ التَّحْلِيلُ وَ التَّنْزِيلُ وَ التَّأْوِيلُ
Truly, because of you-asws Rasool-Allah-saww has been left bereaved, and the Book of Allah-azwj has become abandoned. Truth was forsaken when you-asws were overpowered and subdued. With your-asws absence, the sounds of glorification, declaration of the Oneness of Allah-azwj, Prohibitions and Permissibles, Revelations and interpretations were all lost.
وَ ظَهَرَ بَعْدَكَ التَّغْيِيرُ وَ التَّبْدِيلُ وَ الْإِلْحَادُ وَ التَّعْطِيلُ وَ الْأَهْوَاءُ وَ الْأَضَالِيلُ وَ الْفِتَنُ وَ الْأَبَاطِيلُ وَ قَامَ نَاعِيكَ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ جَدِّكَ الرَّسُولِ ص
After you-asws, distortion and alteration appeared, disbelief and negation spread, desires and misguidance prevailed, and trials and falsehoods became dominant. Your-asws mourner stood by the grave of your-asws grandfather-saww, the Rasool-saww!
فَنَعَاكَ إِلَيْهِ بِالدَّمْعِ الْهَطُولِ قَائِلًا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُتِلَ سِبْطُكَ وَ فَتَاكَ وَ اسْتُبِيحَ أَهْلُكَ وَ حِمَاكَ وَ سُبِيَ بَعْدَكَ ذَرَارِيُّكَ وَ وَقَعَ الْمَحْذُورُ بِعِتْرَتِكَ وَ بَنِيكَ
So, he mourned you-asws to him-saww with flowing tears, saying, O Rasool-Allah-saww! Your-saww grandson-saww and dear one has been killed, your-asws family and sanctity have been violated, your-asws descendants were taken captive after you-asws, and the feared calamity has befallen your-asws Progeny and sons-asws.
فَنَزَعَ الرَّسُولُ الرِّدَاءَ وَ عَزَّاهُ بِكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَ فُجِعَتْ بِكَ أُمُّكَ فَاطِمَةُ الزَّهْرَاءُ وَ اخْتَلَفَتْ جُنُودُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ تُعَزِّي أَبَاكَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
The Rasool-saww removed his-saww cloak, and the Angels and the Prophets-as offered him-saww condolences for you-asws. Your-asws mother-asws, (Syeda) Fatimah Al-Zahra-asws, was struck with grief over you-asws. The legions of the Angels of Proximity alternated in offering condolences to your-asws father-asws, Amir Al-Momineen-asws.
وَ أُقِيمَتْ عَلَيْكَ الْمَأْتَمُ فِي أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ تَلْطِمُ عَلَيْكَ فِيهَا الْحُورُ الْعِينُ وَ تَبْكِيكَ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ سُكَّانُهَا وَ الْجِبَالُ وَ خُزَّانُهَا وَ السَّحَابُ وَ أَقْطَارُهَا وَ الْأَرْضُ وَ قِيعَانُهَا وَ الْبِحَارُ وَ حِيتَانُهَا وَ مَكَّةُ وَ بُنْيَانُهَا وَ الْجِنَانُ وَ وِلْدَانُهَا وَ الْبَيْتُ وَ الْمَقَامُ وَ الْمَشْعَرُ الْحَرَامُ وَ الْحَطِيمُ وَ زَمْزَمُ وَ الْمِنْبَرُ الْمُعَظَّمُ وَ النُّجُومُ الطَّوَالِعُ وَ الْبُرُوقُ اللَّوَامِعُ وَ الرُّعُودُ الْقَعَاقِعُ وَ الرِّيَاحُ الزَّعَازِعُ وَ الْأَفْلَاكُ الرَّوَافِعُ
And the mourning was held for you-asws in the highest skies where the Maiden Houries lamented over you-asws. The skies and their inhabitants wept for you-asws, and so did the mountains and their keepers, the clouds and their realms, the earth and its depths, the seas and their creatures, Makkah and its structures, the Gardens and their youths, the Sacred House, the Station, the Sacred Site Al-Hatim, Zamzam, the revered pulpit, the rising stars, the flashing lightning, the crashing thunder, the raging winds, and the rotating celestial spheres.
فَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ قَتَلَكَ وَ سَلَبَكَ وَ اهْتَضَمَكَ وَ غَصَبَكَ وَ بَايَعَكَ فَاعْتَزَلَكَ وَ حَارَبَكَ وَ سَاقَكَ وَ جَهَّزَ الْجُيُوشَ إِلَيْكَ وَ وَثَبَ الظَّلَمَةُ عَلَيْكَ
So, may Allah-azwj Curse the one who killed you-asws, plundered you-asws, wronged you-asws, usurped your-asws rights, pledged allegiance to you-asws then abandoned you-asws, fought you-asws, led armies against you-asws, and unleashed the oppressors upon you-asws.
أَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ مِنَ الْآمِرِ وَ الْفَاعِلِ وَ الْغَاشِمِ وَ الْخَاذِلِ
I disavow to Allah-azwj the Glorious from the instructor, and the doer, and the usurper and the abandoner!
اللَّهُمَّ فَثَبِّتْنِي عَلَى الْإِخْلَاصِ وَ الْوَلَاءِ وَ التَّمَسُّكِ بِحَبْلِ أَهْلِ الْكِسَاءِ وَ انْفَعْنِي بِمَوَدَّتِهِمْ وَ احْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَتِهِمْ وَ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ بِشَفَاعَتِهِمْ إِنَّكَ وَلِيُّ ذَلِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Affirm me in sincerity and loyalty and in holding firmly to the bond of the People of the Cloak. Benefit me through their love, include me among their group, and admit me into Paradise through their-asws intercession. You-azwj are Guardian of that, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
ذِكْرُ زِيَارَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْ إِلَى عِنْدِ رِجْلَيِ الْحُسَيْنِ فَقِفْ عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الصِّدِّيقُ الطَّيِّبُ الطَّاهِرُ وَ الزَّكِيُّ الْحَبِيبُ الْمُقَرَّبُ وَ ابْنُ رَيْحَانَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص
Mention of Ziyarat of Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws – ‘Then transfer to be by the legs of Al-Husayn-asws, so paused at Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws (Ali Al-Akbar-asws), and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O the truthful, the goodly, the clean and the pure, the close beloved and son-asws of aroma of Rasool-Allah-saww!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ شَهِيدٍ مُحْتَسِبٍ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ مَا أَكْرَمَ مَقَامَكَ وَ أَشْرَفَ مُنْقَلَبَكَ
The greeting be upon you-asws being an anticipating martyr, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! How honourable is your-asws position and how noble is your-asws transfer!
أَشْهَدُ لَقَدْ شَكَرَ اللَّهُ سَعْيَكَ وَ أَجْزَلَ ثَوَابَكَ وَ أَلْحَقَكَ بِالذِّرْوَةِ الْعَالِيَةِ حَيْثُ الشَّرَفُ كُلُّ الشَّرَفِ فِي الْغُرَفِ السَّامِيَةِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَوْقَ الْغُرَفِ كَمَا مَنَّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ جَعَلَكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِينَ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ طَهَّرَهُمْ تَطْهِيراً
I testify Allah-azwj has Appreciated your-asws striving, Granted you-asws immense Reward, and Raised you-asws to the highest peak, where all honour resides, in the lofty chambers of Paradise above all other abodes, just as He-azwj had Favoured you-asws before and Made you-asws among the People-asws of the Household whom Allah-azwj has Kept the impurities away from them-asws and Purified them-asws a Purification!
وَ اللَّهِ مَا ضَرَّكَ الْقَوْمُ بِمَا نَالُوا مِنْكَ وَ مِنْ أَبِيكَ الطَّاهِرِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمَا وَ لَا ثَلَمُوا مَنْزِلَتَكُمَا مِنَ الْبَيْتِ الْمُقَدَّسِ وَ لَا وَهَنْتُمَا بِمَا أَصَابَكُمَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ لَا مِلْتُمَا إِلَى الْعَيْشِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ لَا تَكَرَّهْتُمَا مُبَاشَرَةَ الْمَنَايَا إِذْ كُنْتُمَا قَدْ رَأَيْتُمَا مَنَازِلَكُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَصِيرَا إِلَيْهَا
By Allah-azwj! The people did not harm you-asws by what they inflicted upon you-asws and your-asws pure father-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon you-asws both, nor did they diminish your-asws esteemed position in the sanctified household, nor did you-asws weaken from what befell you-asws in the way of Allah-azwj. You-asws neither inclined toward worldly life, nor did you-asws loathe facing death, for you-asws had already seen your-asws places in Paradise before you-asws arrived there.
فَاخْتَرْتُمَاهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْتَقِلَا إِلَيْهَا فَسُرِرْتُمْ وَ سُرِرْتُمْ فَهَنِيئاً لَكُمْ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ التَّمَسُّكُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ص بِالسَّيِّدِ السَّابِقِ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَ قَدِمْتُمَا عَلَيْهِ وَ قَدْ أُلْحِقْتُمَا بِأَوْثَقِ عُرْوَةٍ وَ أَقْوَى سَبَبٍ
You-asws both chose it before you-asws transitioned to it, and you-asws were delighted and brought delight. Congratulations to you-asws, O sons of Abdul Muttalib-asws, for holding fast through the Prophet-saww to the noble forerunner Hamza-asws Bin Abdul Muttalib-asws. You-asws arrived to him and were joined to the firmest bond and the strongest connection.
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الصِّدِّيقُ الشَّهِيدُ الْمُكَرَّمُ وَ السَّيِّدُ الْمُقَدَّمُ الَّذِي عَاشَ سَعِيداً وَ مَاتَ شَهِيداً وَ ذَهَبَ فَقِيداً فَلَمْ تَتَمَتَّعْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا بِالْعَمَلِ الصَّالِحِ وَ لَمْ تَتَشَاغَلْ إِلَّا بِالْمَتْجَرِ الرَّابِحِ
May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon you-asws, O truthful, martyred, honoured one, and noble leader who lived happily, died as a martyr, and departed as one deeply missed. You-asws took no pleasure from this world except through righteous deeds, and you-asws were occupied with nothing but the profitable trade.
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ مِنَ الْفَرِحِينَ بِما آتاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ أَلَّا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ وَ تِلْكَ مَنْزِلَةُ كُلِّ شَهِيدٍ
I testify you-asws are from the ones rejoicing in what Allah has Given them from His Grace and they are receiving glad tidings of those whom have yet to join them from the ones they left behind. There would neither be fear upon them nor would they be grieving [3:170], and that is a status of every martyr.
فَكَيْفَ مَنْزِلَةُ الْحَبِيبِ إِلَى اللَّهِ الْقَرِيبِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص زَادَكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فِي كُلِّ لَفْظَةٍ وَ لَحْظَةٍ وَ سُكُونٍ وَ حَرَكَةٍ مَزِيداً يُغْبَطُ وَ يَسْعَدُ أَهْلُ عِلِّيِّينَ بِهِ
So, how would be the status of the one beloved to Allah-azwj, the close to Rasool-Allah-saww? May Allah-azwj Increase you-asws from His-azwj Grace in every word, and moment, and stillness, and movement, and the people of Illiyeen would rejoice and be happy with it!
يَا كَرِيمَ النَّفْسِ يَا كَرِيمَ الْأَبِ يَا كَرِيمَ الْجَدِّ إِلَى أَنْ يَتَنَاهَى رَفَعَكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَنْ يُقَالَ رَحِمَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ افْتَقَرَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ غَيْرُكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ مَنْ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ
O honourable of the soul! O honourable of the father-asws! O honourable of the grandfather-asws up to all the way to the end of the lineage. Allah-azwj has Elevated you-asws above the need for anyone to say, ‘May Allah-azwj Mercy you-asws’, while others from all the creatures of Allah-azwj are needy to that!’
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رِضْوَانُهُ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ فَاشْفَعْ لِي أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الطَّاهِرُ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فِي حَطِّ الْأَثْقَالِ عَنْ ظَهْرِي وَ تَخْفِيفِهَا عَنِّي وَ ارْحَمْ ذُلِّي وَ خُضُوعِي لَكَ وَ لِلسَّيِّدِ أَبِيكَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمَا
Then you should say, ‘May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon you all, and His-azwj Pleasure and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! Intercede for me O the chief, the clean, to your-asws Lord-azwj in offloading the burdens from my back, and their lightening from me, and Mercy my humiliation, and my humbleness to you-asws and to the chief your-asws father-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon you-asws both!’
ثُمَّ انْكَبَّ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ قُلْ زَادَ اللَّهُ فِي شَرَفِكُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَمَا شَرَّفَكُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ أَسْعَدَكُمْ كَمَا أَسْعَدَ بِكُمْ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ أَعْلَامُ الدِّينِ وَ نُجُومُ الْعَالَمِينَ
Then devote upon the grave and say, ‘May Allah-azwj Increase in your nobilities in the Hereafter just as He-azwj has Ennobled you in the world, and Make you fortunate just as He-azwj has Made you fortunate, and I testify you are the flags of religion and stars of the worlds!’
زِيَارَةُ الشُّهَدَاءِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ تَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحُسَيْنَ سَلَاماً لَا يَفْنَى أَمَدُهُ وَ لَا يَنْقَطِعُ مَدَدُهُ
Ziyarat of the martyrs, may the Pleasure of Allah-azwj be upon them – ‘Then head to the room which is by the legs of Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws (Ali Al-Akbar-asws), and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn-asws, greeting that never ends in duration nor ceases in supply.
سَلَاماً تَسْتَوْجِبُهُ بِاجْتِهَادِكَ وَ تَسْتَحِقُّهُ بِجِهَادِكَ عِشْتَ حَمِيداً وَ ذَهَبْتَ فَقِيداً لَمْ يُمِلْ بِكَ حُبُّ الشَّهَوَاتِ وَ لَمْ يُدَنِّسْكَ طَمَعُ النَزِهَاتِ حَتَّى كَشَفَتْ لَكَ الدُّنْيَا عَنْ عُيُوبِهَا وَ رَأَيْتَ سُوءَ عَاقِبَتِهَا وَ قُبْحَ مَصِيرِهَا
Greeting you-asws deserve through your-asws diligence and earn through your-asws struggle. You-asws lived honourably and departed as one greatly missed. The love of desires did not incline you-asws, nor did the greed for pleasures stain you-asws, until the world revealed to you-asws its flaws, and you-asws saw the evil of its end and the ugliness of its destiny.
فَبِعْتَهَا بِالدَّارِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ شَرَيْتَ نَفْسَكَ شِرَاءَ الْمُتَاجِرَةِ فَأَرْبَحْتَهَا أَكْرَمَ الْأَرْبَاحِ وَ لَحِقْتَ بِهَا الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً ذلِكَ الْفَضْلُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ كَفى بِاللَّهِ عَلِيماً
You-asws sold it for the house of the Hereafter and purchased your-asws soul a buying of the trader and traded for the most honourable of the profits, and due to it you-asws joined those upon whom Allah has Bestowed Favours from the Prophets and the Truthful and the Martyrs and the Righteous; and a goodly company are they! [4:69] That is the Grace from Allah, and Suffice with Allah as a Knower [4:70]!
السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ حَبِيبِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ رَيْحَانَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ حَبِيبٍ لَمْ يَقْضِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَطَراً وَ لَمْ يَشْفِ مِنْ أَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ صَدْراً حَتَّى عَاجَلَهُ الْأَجَلُ وَ فَاتَهُ الْأَمَلُ فَهَنِيئاً لَكَ يَا حَبِيبَ حَبِيبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَا أَسْعَدَ جَدَّكَ وَ أَفْخَرَ مَجْدَكَ وَ أَحْسَنَ مُنْقَلَبَكَ
The greeting be upon Al-Qasim-asws Bin Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! The greeting be upon you-asws O son-asws of beloved of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O son-asws of aroma of Rasool-Allah-saww! The greeting be upon you-asws from a beloved who did not find fulfilment in this world, nor did he find relief against the enemies of Allah-azwj, until fate hastened to overtake him and hope slipped away. So glad tidings to you-asws, O beloved of the beloved of Rasool-Allah-saww! How fortunate is your-asws grandfather-saww, how proud is your-asws glory, and how beautiful is your-asws final return!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا عَوْنَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ النَّاشِي فِي حَجْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ الْمُقْتَدِي بِأَخْلَاقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ الذَّابِّ عَنْ حَرِيمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَبِيّاً وَ الذَّائِدِ عَنْ حَرَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مُبَاشِراً لِلْحُتُوفِ مُجَاهِداً بِالسُّيُوفِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْوَى جِسْمُهُ وَ يَشْتَدَّ عَظْمُهُ وَ يَبْلُغَ أَشُدَّهُ
The greeting be upon you-asws O Awn-asws Bin Abdullah-asws Bin Ja’far-asws Bin Abu Talib-as! The greeting be upon you-asws O son of the one raise in the lap of Rasool-Allah-saww, and led by the mannerisms of Rasool-Allah-saww, and the defender of the sanctimonious ones of Rasool-Allah-saww as a child, and the defender of the sanctity of Rasool-Allah-saww facing death and striving with the sword before his body grew strong, before his bones became firm, and before he had reached full maturity!
مَا زِلْتَ مِنَ العَلَاءِ مُنْذُ يَفَعْتَ تَطْلُبُ الْغَايَةَ الْقُصْوَى فِي الْخَيْرِ مُنْذُ تَرَعْرَعْتَ حَتَّى رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَنَالَ الْحَظَّ السَّنِيَّ فِي الْآخِرَةِ بِبَذْلِ نَفْسِكَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ الْقِتَالِ لِأَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ
You-asws remained lofty from your-asws youth, seeking the highest goal in virtue since your-asws early upbringing, until you-asws realised that attaining the noble fortune in the Hereafter could only be through offering your-asws soul in the path of Allah-azwj and fighting the enemies of Allah-azwj.
فَتَقَرَّبْتَ وَ الْمَنَايَا دَانِيَةٌ وَ زَحَفْتَ وَ النَّفْسُ مُطْمَئِنَّةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ تَلَقَّى بِوَجْهِكَ بَوَادِرَ السِّهَامِ وَ تُبَاشِرُ بِمُهْجَتِكَ حَدَّ الْحُسَامِ حَتَّى وَفَدْتَ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى بِأَحْسَنِ عَمَلٍ وَ أَرْشَدِ سَعْيٍ إِلَى أَكْرَمِ مُنْقَلَبٍ وَ تَلَقَّاكَ مَا أَعَدَّهُ لَكَ مِنَ النَّعِيمِ الْمُقِيمِ الَّذِي يَزِيدُ وَ لَا يَبِيدُ وَ الْخَيْرِ الَّذِي يَتَجَدَّدُ وَ لَا يَنْفَدُ
So, you-asws drew near while death was approaching, and you-asws advanced while your soul was calm and content. You-asws faced the flying arrows with your-asws face and met the edge of the sword with your-asws lifeblood, until you-asws arrived before Allah-azwj, the Exalted, with the best of deeds and the most guided of efforts, to the most honourable outcome. There faced you-asws what He-azwj had prepared for you-asws of everlasting bliss that increases and never ends, and goodness that renews and never perishes!
فَصَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ تَتْرَى تَتَّبِعُ أُخْرَاهُنَّ الْأُولَى السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ صِنْوَ الْوَصِيِّ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ مَا دَجَى لَيْلٌ وَ أَضَاءَ نَهَارٌ وَ مَا طَلَعَ هِلَالٌ وَ مَا أَخْفَاهُ سِرَارٌ وَ جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ وَ الْإِسْلَامِ أَحْسَنَ مَا جَزَى الْأَبْرَارَ الْأَخْيَارَ الَّذِينَ نَابَذُوا الْفُجَّارَ وَ جَاهَدُوا الْكُفَّارَ
May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon you-asws, their latter following their former! The greeting be upon you-asws O Abdul Rahman-asws Bin Aqeel-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, in-law of the successor-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, upon you-asws and upon your-asws father-asws for as long as the night is dark and the day is bright, and for as long as the crescent emerges and what secrets it hides, and my Allah-azwj Reward you on behalf of the son-asws of your uncle and from Al-Islam, the best of what He-azwj Recompenses the righteous, the goodly, those who opposed the immoral and fought the Kafirs!
فَصَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ يَا خَيْرَ ابْنِ عَمٍّ زَادَكَ اللَّهُ فِيمَا آتَاكَ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ رِضَاكَ كَمَا بَلَغْتَ غَايَةَ رِضَاهُ وَ جَاوَزَ بِكَ أَفْضَلَ مَا كُنْتَ تَتَمَنَّاهُ
May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon you O best of cousins. May Allah-azwj Increase you in what He-azwj has Granted you-asws until you reach your full satisfaction, just as you reached the utmost of His-azwj satisfaction, and He-azwj Granted you beyond the best of what you used to wish for.
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا جَعْفَرَ بْنَ عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ سَلَاماً يَقْضِي حَقَّكَ فِي نَسَبَكِ وَ قَرَابَتِكَ وَ قَدْرِكَ فِي مَنْزِلَتِكَ وَ عَمَلِكَ فِي مُوَاسَاتِكَ وَ مُسَاهَمَتِكَ ابْنَ عَمِّكَ بِنَفْسِكَ وَ مُبَالَغَتِكَ فِي مُوَاسَاتِهِ حَتَّى شَرِبْتَ بِكَأْسِهِ وَ حَلَلْتَ مَحَلَّهُ فِي رَمْسِهِ وَ اسْتَوْجَبْتَ ثَوَابَ مَنْ بَايَعَ اللَّهُ فِي نَفْسِهِ فَاسْتَبْشَرَ بِبَيْعِهِ الَّذِي بَايَعَهُ بِهِ وَ ذلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
The greeting be upon you-asws O Ja’far-asws Bin Aqeel-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, greeting that fulfils your right in your lineage, your kinship, your rank in your position, and your deeds in your support and contribution. You, the son of your uncle, with your own self, who greatly participated in his-asws support until you drank from his-asws cup and took his-asws place in his-asws grave. You earned the Reward of one who pledged allegiance to Allah-azwj with his soul! So, rejoice with his-asws allegiance which he-asws had pledged with, and that, it is the mighty success!
فَاجْتَمَعَ لَكَ مَا وَعَدَكَ اللَّهُ مِنَ النَّعِيمِ بِحَقِّ الْمُبَايَعَةِ إِلَى مَا أَوْجَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَكَ بِحَقِّ النَّسَبِ وَ الْمُشَارَكَةِ فَفُزْتَ فَوْزَيْنِ لَا يَنَالُهُمَا إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِثْلَكَ فِي قَرَابَتِهِ وَ مُكَارَمَتِهِ وَ بَذَلَ مَالَهُ وَ مُهْجَتَهُ لِنُصْرَةِ إِمَامِهِ وَ ابْنِ عَمِّهِ
Thus, what Allah-azwj Promised you from the bounties due to your allegiance has gathered, along with what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, has decreed for you due to your lineage and partnership. You have attained two victories that none can achieve except one like you in kinship, nobility, and the one who sacrificed his wealth and life in support of his Imam-asws and cousin.
فَزَادَكَ اللَّهُ حُبّاً وَ كَرَامَةً حَتَّى تَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ فِي جِوَارِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
May Allah-azwj Increase you in love and honour, until you reach the highest level in the company of Lord-azwj of the worlds in the highest places of Paradise!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ فَمَا أَكْرَمَ مَقَامَكَ فِي نُصْرَةِ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ وَ مَا أَحْسَنَ فَوْزَكَ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ وَ لَقَدْ كَرَّمَ فِعْلَكَ وَ أَجَلَّ أَمْرَكَ وَ أَعْظَمَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ سَهْمَكَ رَأَيْتَ الِانْتِقَالَ إِلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ خَيْراً مِنْ مُجَاوَرَةِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَ لَمْ تَرَ شَيْئاً لِلِانْتِقَالِ أَكْرَمَ مِنَ الْجِهَادِ وَ الْقِتَالِ
The greeting be upon you-asws O Abdullah Bin Muslim Bin Aqeel-as! How noble is your-as position in supporting the son of your-as uncle, and how excellent is your-as Reward with your-as Lord-azwj! Indeed, your-as actions have been honoured, your-as matter exalted, and your-as role in Islam greatly revered. You-as recognised that transitioning to Lord-azwj of the worlds is better than dwelling with the Kafirs, and you-as saw nothing more honourable for such a transition than striving in the way of Allah-azwj and fighting!
فَكَافَحْتَ الْفَاسِقِينَ بِنَفْسٍ لَا تَخِيمُ عِنْدَ الْبَأْسِ وَ يَدٍ لَا تَلِينُ عِنْدَ الْمِرَاسِ حَتَّى قَتَلَكَ الْأَعْدَاءُ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَنْ رَوَّيْتَ سَيْفَكَ وَ سِنَانَكَ مِنْ أَوْلَادِ الْأَحْزَابِ وَ الطُّلَقَاءِ وَ قَدْ عَضَّكَ السِّلَاحُ وَ أَثْبَتَكَ الْجِرَاحُ فَغَلَبْتَ عَلَى ذَاتِ نَفْسِكَ غَيْرَ مُسَالِمٍ وَ لَا مُسْتَأْسِرٍ فَأَدْرَكْتَ مَا كُنْتَ تَتَمَنَّاهُ وَ جَاوَزْتَ مَا كُنْتَ تَطْلُبُهُ وَ تَهْوَاهُ فَهَنَّأَكَ اللَّهُ بِمَا صِرْتَ إِلَيْهِ وَ زَادَكَ مَا ابْتَغَيْتَ الزِّيَادَةَ عَلَيْهِ
You-as fought against the rebellious with a soul that does not falter in the face of hardship and with a hand that does not weaken in battle, until the enemies killed you-as after you-as had quenched your-as sword and spear with the blood of the children of the factions and the freed slaves! The weapons bit you-as, and the wounds held you-as firm, but you-as overcame your-as own self, neither surrendering nor yielding. You-as attained what you-as had longed for, surpassed what you-as had sought, and fulfilled what you-as desired. May Allah-azwj Grant you-as felicity for what you-as have achieved, and may He-azwj Increase you-as in the Reward you sought!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ فَإِنَّكَ الْغُرَّةُ الْوَاضِحَةُ وَ اللُّمْعَةُ اللَّائِحَةُ ضَاعَفَ اللَّهُ رِضَاهُ عَنْكَ وَ أَحْسَنَ لَكَ ثَوَابَ مَا بَذَلْتَهُ مِنْكَ فَلَقَدْ وَاسَيْتَ أَخَاكَ وَ بَذَلْتَ مُهْجَتَكَ فِي رِضَى رَبِّكَ
The greeting be upon you-asws O Abdullah-asws son of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings, for you are the clear radiance and the shining light! May Allah-azwj Multiply His-azwj Pleasure with you and Grant you the best Reward for what you have sacrificed. You truly supported your brother-asws and gave your life in pursuit of the Pleasure of your Lord-azwj!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ سَلَاماً يُرَجِّيهِ الْبَيْتُ الَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ أَضَأْتَ وَ النُّورُ الَّذِي فِيهِ اسْتَضَأْتَ وَ الشَّرَفُ الَّذِي فِيهِ اقْتَدَيْتَ وَ هَنَّأَكَ اللَّهُ بِالْفَوْزِ الَّذِي إِلَيْهِ وَصَلْتَ وَ بِالثَّوَابِ الَّذِي ادَّخَرْتَ
The greeting be upon you O Abdul Rahman-asws son of Aqeel-asws Bin Abu Talib-as, and the Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings, whom the house you are in reveres, the light you have illuminated, the honour you have followed, and may Allah-azwj Bless you with the victory you have attained and the Reward you have stored.
لَقَدْ عَظُمَتْ مُوَاسَاتُكَ بِنَفْسِكَ وَ بَذْلُكَ مُهْجَتَكَ فِي رِضَى رَبِّكَ وَ نَبِيِّكَ وَ أَبِيكَ وَ أَخِيكَ فَفَازَ قِدْحُكَ وَ زَادَ رِبْحُكَ حَتَّى مَضَيْتَ شَهِيداً وَ لَقِيتَ اللَّهَ سَعِيداً صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى أَخِيكَ وَ عَلَى إِخْوَتِكَ الَّذِينَ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ طَهَّرَهُمْ تَطْهِيراً
Truly, your support with your own soul and your sacrifice of your life for the pleasure of your Lord-azwj, your Prophet-saww, your father-asws, and your brother-asws is immense! Your cup of success has been won, and your profit has increased until you became a martyr and met Allah-azwj as fortunate. May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon you, your brother-asws, and your siblings, whom Allah-azwj Kept the uncleanness away from them and Purified them a purification!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ بْنَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ مَا أَحْسَنَ بَلَاءَكَ وَ أَزْكَى سَعْيَكَ وَ أَسْعَدَكَ بِمَا نِلْتَ مِنَ الشَّرَفِ وَ فُزْتَ بِهِ مِنَ الشَّهَادَةِ فَوَاسَيْتَ أَخَاكَ وَ إِمَامَكَ وَ مَضَيْتَ عَلَى يَقِينِكَ حَتَّى لَقِيتَ رَبَّكَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَ ضَاعَفَ اللَّهُ مَا أَحْسَنَ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ
The greeting be upon you-as O Aba Bakr-as son of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! How excellent is your trial, how pure your effort, and how fortunate you are for what you attained from honour and gained from martyrdom. You supported your brother-asws and your Imam-asws, and you proceeded with certainty until you met your Lord-azwj. May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon you, and may Allah-azwj Multiply the goodness He-azwj has Favoured to you!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ فَمَا أَجَلَّ قَدْرَكَ وَ أَطْيَبَ ذِكْرَكَ وَ أَبْيَنَ أَثَرَكَ وَ أَشْهَرَ خَيْرَكَ وَ أَعْلَى مَدْحَكَ وَ أَعْظَمَ مَجْدَكَ فَهَنِيئاً لَكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ بَيْتِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ مَفَاتِيحَ الْخَيْرِ تَحِيَّاتُ اللَّهِ غَادِيَةً وَ رَائِحَةً فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ وَ لَمْحَةٍ
The greeting be upon you O Usman-asws son of Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! How great is your status, how sweet is your remembrance, how clear is your impact, how renowned is your goodness, how high is your praise, and how esteem is your glory. Congratulations to you, O family of the Mercy, the gathering place of the Angels, and the keys to goodness. May the Greeting of Allah-azwj be upon you, morning and evening, every day, with every blink of an eye and every glance!
وَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَنْصَارَ دِينِ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْصَارَ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ مِنْ مَوَالِيهِمْ وَ أَشْيَاعِهِمْ وَ لَقَدْ نِلْتُمُ الْفَوْزَ وَ حُزْتُمُ الشَّرَفَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ
And may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon you all, O helpers of the religion of Allah-azwj and helpers of People-asws of the Household from their friends and their adherents, and you have achieved the success and your share of the nobility in the world and the Hereafter!
يَا سَادَاتِي يَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَلِيُّكُمْ الزَّائِرُ لَكُمُ الْمُثْنِى عَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا أَوْلَاكُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ لَهُ أَهْلٌ الْمُجِيبُ لَكُمْ سَائِرُ جَوَارِحِهِ يَسْتَشْفِعُ بِكُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّكُمْ وَ رَبِّهِ فِي إِحْيَاءِ قَلْبِهِ وَ تَزْكِيَةِ عَمَلِهِ وَ إِجَابَةِ دُعَائِهِ وَ تَقَبُّلِ مَا يَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ وَ الْمَعُونَةِ عَلَى أَمْرِ دُنْيَاهُ وَ آخِرَتِهِ فَقَدْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى ذَلِكَ وَ تَوَسَّلَ إِلَيْهِ بِكُمْ وَ هُوَ نِعْمَ الْمَسْئُولُ وَ نِعْمَ الْمَوْلى وَ نِعْمَ النَّصِيرُ
O my chiefs, O people of the Household! Your friend is the one who visits you, praising you for what Allah-azwj has Bestowed upon you. You are worthy of this praise. The one who seeks intercession from you to Allah-azwj, your Lord-azwj and his, for the revival of his heart, the purification of his actions, the acceptance of his supplications, and the acceptance of his closeness to Him, as well as for assistance in the affairs of his world and the Hereafter. He has asked Allah-azwj for all of this and has sought to approach Him-azwj through you, and He-azwj is the best to be asked, the best master, and the best helper!’
ثُمَّ تُسَلِّمُ عَلَى الشُّهَدَاءِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ تَسْتَقْبِلُ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَنْصَارَ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْصَارَ رَسُولِهِ وَ أَنْصَارَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ أَنْصَارَ فَاطِمَةَ الزَّهْرَاءِ وَ أَنْصَارَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ أَنْصَارَ الْإِسْلَامِ
Then greet unto the martyrs from companions of Al-Husayn-asws, upon him-asws and upon them be the greeting. Face (them) and say, ‘The greeting O helpers of Allah-azwj and helpers of His-azwj Rasool-as, and helpers of Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, and helpers of (Syeda) Fatima Al Zahra-asws, and helpers of Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and helpers of Al Islam!
أَشْهَدُ لَقَدْ نَصَحْتُمْ لِلَّهِ وَ جَاهَدْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِهِ فَجَزَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ أَهْلِهِ أَفْضَلَ الْجَزَاءِ فُزْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ فَوْزاً عَظِيماً يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ مَعَكُمْ فَأَفُوزَ فَوْزاً عَظِيماً
I testify you have advised for Allah-azwj and fought in His-azwj way, so may Allah-azwj Reward you all on behalf of Al Islam and its people, the best Reward! By Allah-azwj you have succeeded with a mighty success! If only I had been with you, I would have succeeded with a mighty success!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ تُرْزَقُونَ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمُ الشُّهَدَاءُ وَ أَنَّكُمُ السُّعَدَاءُ وَ أَنَّكُمْ فِي دَرَجَاتِ الْعُلَى وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
I testify you are alive in the Presence of your Lord-azwj being sustained, and I testify you are the martyrs and you are the fortunate, and you are in the exalted ranks, and the greeting be upon you, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!’
ثُمَّ عُدْ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ رَأْسِ الْحُسَيْنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ اسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ صَلَاةَ الزِّيَارَةِ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَى الْحَمْدَ وَ سُورَةَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْحَمْدَ وَ سُورَةَ الْحَشْرِ أَوْ مَا تَهَيَّأَ لَكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ
Then return to the place of the head of Al-Husayn-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, and face the Qiblah, and pray two units Salat, Salat of the Ziyarat, reading in the first Surah Al Hamd, and Surah Al Anbiya-as, and in the third Surah Al-Hamd and Surah Al-Hashr, or whatever is easy for you from the Quran.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَقُلْ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْقُدْرَةِ وَ الْجَبَرُوتِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْعِزَّةِ وَ الْمَلَكُوتِ سُبْحَانَ الْمُسَبَّحِ لَهُ بِكُلِّ لِسَانٍ سُبْحَانَ الْمَعْبُودِ فِي كُلِّ أَوَانٍ الْأَوَّلُ وَ الْآخِرُ وَ الظَّاهِرُ وَ الْباطِنُ وَ هُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ذلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ فَتَبارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعالَمِينَ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَتَعالَى اللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
When you are free from the Salat, say, ‘Glory be to the One with the Power and the Force! Glory be to the One with the Mighty and the Domains! Glory be to the One glorified to with every language! Glory be to the Worshipped in every time He is the First and the Last, and the Apparent and the Hidden, and He is a Knower of all things [57:3] That is Allah, your Lord. Blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds [40:64] There is no god except Him, [40:65] Exalted is Allah from what they are associating [7:190].
اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْنِي عَلَى الْإِقْرَارِ بِكَ وَ احْشُرْنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ أَلْحِقْنِي بِالْعَصَبَةِ الْمُعْتَقِدِينَ لَهُ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَعْتَرِضْهُمْ فِيكَ الرَّيْبُ وَ لَمْ يُخَالِطْهُمُ الشَّكُّ الَّذِينَ أَطَاعُوا نَبِيَّكَ وَ وَازَرُوهُ وَ عَاضَدُوهُ وَ نَصَرُوهُ وَ اتَّبَعُوا النُّورَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ مَعَهُ وَ لَمْ يَكُنِ اتِّبَاعُهُمْ إِيَّاهُ طَلَبَ الدُّنْيَا الْفَانِيَةِ وَ لَا انْحِرَافاً عَنِ الْآخِرَةِ الْبَاقِيَةِ وَ لَا حُبَّ الرِّئَاسَةِ وَ الْإِمْرَةِ وَ لَا إِيْثَارَ الثَّرْوَةِ
O Allah-azwj! Keep me steadfast in acknowledging You-azwj! Gather me upon this acknowledgment, and Join me with the group of believers who were free from doubt and were not affected by uncertainty. They obeyed Your-azwj Prophet-saww, supported him-saww, assisted him-saww, and followed the light Revealed with him-saww! Their following was not motivated by the pursuit of this fleeting world, nor was it a deviation from the everlasting Hereafter. They did not seek leadership, nor were they driven by the desire for wealth.
بَلْ تَاجَرُوا بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ رَبِحُوا حِينَ خَسِرَ الْبَاخِلُونَ وَ فَازُوا حِينَ خَابَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ وَ أَقَامُوا حُدُودَ مَا أُمِرْتَ بِهِ مِنَ الْمَوَدَّةِ فِي ذَوِي الْقُرْبَى الَّتِي جَعَلْتَهَا أَجْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِيمَا أَدَّاهُ إِلَيْنَا مِنَ الْهِدَايَةِ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَرْشِدْنَا إِلَيْهِ مِنَ التَّعَبُّدِ لَكَ وَ تَمَسَّكُوا بِطَاعَتِهِمْ وَ لَمْ يَمِيلُوا إِلَى غَيْرِهِمْ
Rather, they traded with their wealth and souls, and they succeeded when the miserly lost and triumphed when the falsehood failed. They upheld the boundaries of what You-azwj Commanded regarding the love of the relatives, which You-azwj Made the Reward of Your-azwj Rasool-saww for delivering to us the guidance to You-azwj and leading us to worship You-azwj. They clung to their obedience to him-asws and never turned to anyone else!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنِّي مَعَهُمْ وَ فِيهِمْ وَ بِهِمْ وَ لَا أَمِيلُ عَنْهُمْ وَ لَا أَنْحَرِفُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِمْ وَ لَا أَقُولُ لِمَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ هؤُلاءِ أَهْدى مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَبِيلًا
O Allah-azwj! I keep You-azwj as Witness I am with them, and among them, and through them and not inclining against them nor deviating to others, not do I say for the one opposing them! ‘They are more guided of the way than those who are believing’ [4:51].
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عِتْرَتِهِ صَلَاةً تُرْضِيهِ وَ تُحْظِيهِ وَ تُبْلِغُهُ أَقْصَى رِضَاهُ وَ أَمَانِيهِ وَ عَلَى ابْنِ عَمِّهِ وَ أَخِيهِ الْمُهْتَدِي بِهِدَايَتِهِ الْمُسْتَبْصِرِ بِمِشْكَاتِهِ الْقَائِمِ مَقَامَهُ فِي أُمَّتِهِ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and his-saww family, Salat that pleases him-saww, honours him-saww, and brings him-saww to the utmost of his-saww satisfaction and aspirations, and upon his-saww cousin and brother, who is guided by his-saww guidance, enlightened by his-saww Noor, and who stood in his-saww place among his-saww community!
وَ عَلَى الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ 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 بْنِ الْحَسَنِ
And (Salawaat be) upon the Imams-asws from his-saww offspring 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 Muhammad-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 Al-Hujjat-ajfj son-ajfj of Al-Hassan (Al Askari-asws)!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هَذَا مَقَامٌ إِنْ رَبِحَ فِيهِ الْقَائِمُ بِأَهْلِ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ مِنَ الْفَائِزِينَ وَ إِنْ خَسِرَ فَهُوَ مِنَ الْهَالِكِينَ
O Allah-azwj! This is the position, the one standing in it gains that with the people, so he is from the winners, and if he loses, he is from the destroyed ones!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَا أَعْلَمُ شَيْئاً يُقَرِّبُنِي مِنْ رِضَاكَ فِي هَذَا الْمَقَامِ إِلَّا التَّوْبَةَ مِنْ مَعَاصِيكَ وَ الِاسْتِغْفَارَ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ التَّوَسُّلَ بِهَذَا الْإِمَامِ الصِّدِّيقِ ابْنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَا بِحَيْثُ تَنْزِلُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَ تُرَفْرِفُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ تَأْتِيهِ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَ تَغْشَاهُ الْأَوْصِيَاءُ
O Allah-azwj! I know of nothing that can bring me closer to Your-azwj Pleasure in this position except repentance from disobedience to You-azwj, seeking Forgiveness for sins, and seeking nearness through this truthful Imam-asws, the son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, and here I am in the place where Mercy descends, where Angels hover, where Prophets-as come, and where the successors-asws gather.
فَإِنْ خِفْتُ مَعَ كَرْمِكَ وَ مَعَ هَذِهِ الْوَسِيلَةِ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تُعَذِّبَنِي فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَعْيِي وَ خَسِرَ عَمَلِي فَيَا حَسْرَةَ نَفْسِي [وَ] إِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ لِي وَ تَرْحَمْنِي فَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ
So, if I were to fear Your-azwj Punishment despite Your-azwj Generosity and despite this means of approach to You-azwj, then surely my efforts have gone astray and my deeds are lost. Woe to my soul if You-azwj do not Forgive me and have Mercy on me, for You-azwj are the most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
ثُمَّ قَبِّلِ الضَّرِيحَ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْإِمَامُ الْكَرِيمُ وَ ابْنَ الرَّسُولِ الْكَرِيمِ- أَتَيْتُكَ بِزِيَارَةِ الْعَبْدِ لِمَوْلَاهُ الرَّاجِي فَضْلَهُ وَ جَدْوَاهُ الْآمِلِ قَضَاءَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِي أَظْهَرَهُ اللَّهُ لَكَ
The kiss the grave and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O the benevolent Imam-asws and son-asws of the benevolent Rasool-saww! I have come to you-asws with a visitation of the slave to his master hoping for his grace and his generosity and desiring the fulfilment of the right which Allah-azwj has Made manifest for you-asws.
وَ كَيْفَ أَقْضِي حَقَّكَ مَعَ عَجْزِي وَ صِغَرِ جَدِّي وَ جَلَالَةِ أَمْرِكَ وَ عَظِيمِ قَدْرِكَ وَ هَلْ هِيَ إِلَّا الْمُحَافَظَةُ عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْكَ مَعَ أَبِيكَ وَ جَدِّكَ وَ الْمُتَابَعَةُ لَكَ وَ الْبَرَاءَةُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ وَ الْمُنْحَرِفِينَ عَنْكَ
And how can I fulfil your-asws due right with my weakness, the smallness of my effort, the majesty of your station, and the greatness of your-asws rank? Is it anything but preserving your-asws remembrance, sending Salawaat upon you-asws along with your-asws father-asws and grandfather-asws, following your-asws path, and disavowing your-asws enemies and those who have deviated from you-asws?
فَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ خَالَفَكَ فِي سِرِّهِ وَ جَهْرِهِ وَ مَنْ أَجْلَبَ عَلَيْكَ بِخَيْلِهِ وَ رَجِلِهِ وَ مَنْ كَثَّرَ أَعْدَاءَكَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ مَا سَاءَكَ وَ مَنْ أَرْضَاهُ مَا أَسْخَطَكَ وَ مَنْ جَرَّدَ سَيْفَهُ لِحَرْبِكَ وَ مَنْ شَهَرَ نَفْسَهُ فِي مُعَادَاتِكَ وَ مَنْ قَامَ فِي الْمَحَافِلِ بِذَمِّكَ وَ مَنْ خَطَبَ فِي الْمَجَالِسِ بِلَوْمِكَ سِرّاً وَ جَهْراً
May Allah-azwj Curse the one who opposed you-asws in private and in public, and the one who advanced against you-asws with his cavalry and infantry, and the one who increased your-asws enemies through himself and his wealth, and the one who was pleased by what harmed you-asws, and the one who was satisfied with what angered you-asws, and the one who drew his sword against you-asws, and the one who exposed himself in enmity towards you-asws, and the one who stood in gatherings to vilify you-asws, and the one who spoke in assemblies to blame you-asws, both in secret and openly!
اللَّهُمَّ جَدِّدْ عَلَيْهِمُ اللَّعْنَةَ كَمَا جَدَّدْتَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِ
O Allah-azwj! Renew upon them the Curse just as You-azwj Renewed the Salawaat upon him-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَدَعْ لَهُمْ دِعَامَةً إِلَّا قَصَمْتَهَا وَ لَا كَلِمَةً مُجْتَمِعَةً إِلَّا فَرَّقْتَهَا
O Allah-azwj! Neither Leave any pillar for them except Break it, nor any word of unity except Separate it!
اللَّهُمَّ أَرْسِلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْحَقِّ يَداً حَاصِدَةً تَصْرَعُ قَائِمَهُمْ وَ تَهْشِمُ سُوقَهُمْ وَ تَجْدَعُ مَعَاطِسَهُمْ
O Allah-azwj! Send upon them a reaping hand of truth that strikes down their standing ones, crushes their legs, and mutilates their noses.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عِتْرَتِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ الَّذِينَ بِذِكْرِهِمْ يَنْجَلِي الظَّلَامُ وَ يَنْزِلُ الْغَمَامُ وَ عَلَى أَشْيَاعِهِمْ وَ مَوَالِيهِمْ وَ أَنْصَارِهِمْ وَ احْشُرْنِي مَعَهُمْ وَ تَحْتَ لِوَائِهِمْ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and his-saww family, the pure, those by whose mention darkness is dispelled and clouds of Mercy descend, and send Salawaat upon their followers, their supporters, and those loyal to them-asws. Gather me among them-asws and under their banner!
أَيُّهَا الْإِمَامُ الْكَرِيمُ اذْكُرْنِي بِحُرْمَةِ جَدِّكَ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ذِكْراً يَنْصُرُنِي عَلَى مَنْ يَبْغِي عَلَيَّ وَ يُعَانِدُنِي فِيكَ وَ يُعَادِينِي مِنْ أَجْلِكَ
O benevolent Imam-asws! Remember me with the sanctity of your-asws grandfather-saww before your-asws Lord-azwj, a remembrance that grants me victory over those who transgress against me, oppose me for your-asws sake, and show enmity toward me because of you-asws.
فَاشْفَعْ لِي إِلَى رَبِّكَ فِي إِتْمَامِ النِّعْمَةِ لَدَيَّ وَ إِسْبَاغِ الْعَافِيَةِ عَلَيَّ وَ سَوْقِ الرِّزْقِ إِلَيَّ وَ تَوْسِيعِهِ عَلَيَّ لِأَعُودَ بِالْفَضْلِ مِنْهُ عَلَى مُبْتَغِيهِ
Intercede for me with your-asws Lord-azwj to complete His-azwj bounties upon me, to bestow full health upon me, to bring sustenance to me and expand it for me, so I may return with bounty to those who seek it!
فَمَا أَسْأَلُ مَعَ الْكَفَافِ إِلَّا مَا أَكْتَسِبُ بِهِ الثَّوَابَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا ثَوَابَ لِمَنْ لَا يُشَارِكُكَ فِي مَالِهِ وَ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيمَا يُكْنَزُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لَا يُنْفَقُ فِي نَافِلَةٍ وَ لَا فَرْضٍ
I ask for nothing beyond sufficiency except that which earns me Reward, for there is no Reward for one who does not share his wealth with you-asws. I have no need for what is hoarded in the earth and not spent in optional or obligatory acts!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ وَ أَبْتَغِيهِ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ حَلَالًا طَيِّباً فَأَعِنِّي عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ أَقْدِرْنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا تَبْتَلِينِي بِالْحَاجَةِ فَأَتَعَرَّضَ بِالرِّزْقِ لِلْجِهَاتِ الَّتِي يَقْبُحُ أَمْرُهَا وَ يَلْزَمُنِي وِزْرُهَا
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj and seek from You-azwj that which is lawful and pure, so Assist me in attaining it and Grant me the means to achieve it. Do not Afflict me with need that leads me to seek sustenance from sources whose ways are blameworthy and whose burden I must bear.
اللَّهُمَّ وَ مُدَّ لِي فِي الْعُمُرِ مَا دَامَتِ الْحَيَاةُ مَوْصُولَةً بِطَاعَتِكَ مَشْغُولَةً بِعِبَادَتِكَ فَإِذَا صَارَتِ الْحَيَاةُ مَرْتَعَةً لِلشَّيْطَانِ فَاقْبِضْنِي إِلَيْكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْبِقَ إِلَيَّ مَقْتُكَ وَ يَسْتَحْكِمَ عَلَيَّ سَخَطُكَ
O Allah-azwj! Extend my life as long as it remains connected to Your-azwj obedience and occupied with Your-azwj worship. But if life becomes a pasture for Satan-la, then Take me to Yourself-azwj before Your-azwj Wrath reaches me and Your-azwj Anger becomes firmly established upon me!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ يَسِّرْ لِيَ الْعَوْدَ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَشْهَدِ الَّذِي عَظَّمْتَ حُرْمَتَهُ فِي كُلِّ حَوْلٍ بَلْ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ بَلْ فِي كُلِّ أُسْبُوعٍ فَإِنَّ زِيَارَتَهُ فِي كُلِّ حَوْلٍ مَعَ قَبُولِكَ ذَلِكَ بَرَكَةٌ شَامِلَةٌ فَكَيْفَ إِذَا قَرُبَتِ الْمُدَّةُ وَ تَلَاحَقَتِ الْقُدْرَةُ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Ease for me to return to this Shrine whose sanctity is mighty, during every year, but during every month, but during every week, for visiting him-asws in every year along with Your-azwj Acceptance, that is all-inclusive Blessing, so how would it be when the time draws near and the Pre-determined is imminent?
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لَا عُذْرَ لِي فِي التَّأَخُّرِ عَنْهُ وَ الْإِخْلَالِ بِزِيَارَتِهِ مَعَ قُرْبِ الْمَسَافَةِ إِلَّا الْمَخَاوِفُ الْحَائِلَةُ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ وَ لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ لَتَقَطَّعَتْ نَفْسِي حَسْرَةً لِانْقِطَاعِي عَنْهُ أَسَفاً عَلَى مَا يَفُوتُنِي مِنْهُ
O Allah-azwj! I have no excuse for delaying in visiting him or for falling short in fulfilling his-asws visitation, especially with the nearness of the distance, except for the fears that stand between me and him-asws. Were it not for that, my soul would have perished in grief over my separation from him-asws and in sorrow for what I miss of him-asws.
اللَّهُمَّ يَسِّرْ لِيَ الْإِتْمَامَ وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَى تَأْدِيَةِ مَا أُضْمِرُهُ فِيهِ وَ أَرَاهُ أَهْلَهُ وَ مُسْتَوْجِبَهُ فَأَنْتَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ الْهَادِي إِلَيْهِ وَ الْمُعِينُ عَلَيْهِ
O Allah-azwj! Make it easy for me to complete this visit, and assist me in fulfilling what I carry within my heart toward him-asws, and let him see from me what befits him and what he-asws is worthy of. By Your-azwj Grace, You-azwj are the One Who Guides to him-asws and the One who helps in reaching him-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ فَتَقَبَّلْ فَرْضِي وَ نَوَافِلِي وَ زِيَارَتِي وَ اجْعَلْهَا زِيَارَةً مُسْتَمِرَّةً وَ عَادَةً مُسْتَقِرَّةً وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ مُنْقَطِعَ التَّوَاتُرِ يَا كَرِيمُ-
O Allah-azwj! Accept my obligatory acts, my optional acts, and my visitation, and Make it a continuous visitation and a firmly established habit, and do not allow it to be interrupted, O Benevolent!’
فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ الْوَدَاعَ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا خَيْرَ الْأَنَامِ لِأَكْرَمِ إِمَامٍ وَ أَكْرَمِ رَسُولٍ وَلِيُّكَ يُوَدِّعُكَ تَوْدِيعَ غَيْرِ قَالٍ لِقُرْبِكَ وَ لَا سَئِمٍ لِلْمُقَامِ لَدَيْكَ وَ لَا مُؤْثِرٍ لِغَيْرِكَ عَلَيْكَ وَ لَا مُنْصَرِفٍ لِمَا هُوَ أَنْفَعُ لَهُ مِنْكَ تَوْدِيعَ مُتَأَسِّفٍ عَلَى فِرَاقِكَ وَ مُتَشَوِّقٍ إِلَى عَوْدِ لِقَائِكَ وَدَاعَ مَنْ يَعُدُّ الْأَيَّامَ لِزِيَارَتِكَ وَ يُؤْثِرُ الْغُدُوَّ وَ الرَّوَاحَ إِلَيْكَ وَ يَتَلَهَّفُ عَلَى الْقُرْبِ مِنْكَ وَ مُشَاهَدَةِ نَجْوَاكَ
When you intend to bid farewell, pray two units Salat and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O best of the people, the most noble of leaders and the most noble of messengers! Your-asws follower bids you farewell, not as one who is weary of your closeness, nor tired of staying near you-asws, nor preferring anyone over you-asws, nor turning away to something more beneficial than you-asws. It is the farewell of one who is sorrowful over your-asws separation, longing for the return of meeting you-asws, the farewell of one who counts the days until visiting you-asws again, prefers mornings and evenings spent with you-asws, yearns for nearness to you-asws and witnessing your-asws intimate discourse!
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ مَا اخْتَلَفَ الْجَدِيدَانِ وَ تَنَاوَحَ الْعَصْرَانِ وَ تَعَاقَبَ الْأَيَّامُ
May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon you-asws for as long as day and night alternate and the days follow one another!’
ثُمَّ انْكَبَّ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ قُلْ يَا مَوْلَايَ مَا تَرْوَى النَّفْسُ مِنْ مُنَاجَاتِكَ وَ لَا يَقْنَعُ الْقَلْبُ إِلَّا بِمُجَاوَرَتِكَ فَلَوْ عَذَرْتَنِي الْحَالَ الَّتِي وَرَائِي لَتَرَكْتُهَا وَ لَا اسْتَبْدَلْتُ بِهَا جِوَارَكَ فَمَا أَسْعَدَ مَنْ يُغَادِيكَ وَ يُرَاوِحُكَ وَ مَا أَرْغَدَ عَيْشَ مَنْ يُمْسِيكَ وَ يُصْبِحُكَ
Then lean over the grave and say, ‘O my master! The soul is never quenched from conversing with you-asws, and the heart finds no contentment except in being near you-asws. If not for the circumstances that await me behind, I would have left them and never chosen anything over staying by your-asws side! How fortunate is the one who comes to you-asws in the morning and evening, and how blissful is the life of the one who ends his day and begins his morning with you-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ احْرُسْ هَذِهِ الْآثَارَ مِنَ الدُّرُوسِ وَ أَدِمْ لَهَا مَا هِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْأُنْسِ وَ الْبَرَكَاتِ وَ السُّعُودِ وَ مُوَاصَلَةِ مَا كَرَّمْتَهَا بِهِ مِنْ زُوَّارِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الْوَافِدِينَ إِلَيْهَا فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ سَاعَةٍ وَ اعْمُرِ الطَّرِيقَ بِالزَّائِرِينَ لَهَا وَ آمِنْ سُبُلَهَا إِلَيْهَا
O Allah-azwj! Protect these sacred traces from fading away, and Preserve for them the intimacy, Blessings, happiness, and the continued honour You-azwj have Granted them through the visitors of the Prophets-as and the Angels, and those who come to them every day and hour. Populate the path with those who visit them, and Make the roads to them-asws safe and secure!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَتِهِمْ وَ إِتْيَانِ مَشَاهِدِهِمْ إِنَّكَ وَلِيُّ الْإِجَابَةِ يَا كَرِيمُ.
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and do not Make it last of the pacts of visiting them-asws and coming to their-asws Shrines, You-azwj are in Charge of the Response, O Benevolent!’’[1]
39- ق، الكتاب العتيق الغرويّ زِيَارَةُ مَشْهَدِ سَيِّدِنَا أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحُسَيْنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ الدُّعَاءُ عِنْدَهُ وَ إِذَا خَرَجْتَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِكَ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ تَوَجَّهْتُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا حِيلَةَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
‘Kitab Al-Ateeq’ of Al-Gharwy – Ziyarat of our chief Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, and the supplication in his-asws presence – ‘And when you go out from your house, say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, and to Allah-azwj, and whatever Allah-azwj Desires! I rely upon Allah-azwj and am heading to Allah-azwj, and there is neither might nor strength, nor means, nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!
اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ تَوَجَّهْتُ وَ إِيَّاكَ طَلَبْتُ وَ وَجْهَكَ أَرَدْتُ وَ إِلَى ابْنِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ مَوْلَايَ وَ إِمَامِي وَفَدْتُ وَ حَقٌّ عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا تُخَيِّبَ وَافِدَهُ وَ زَائِرَهُ
O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj I have turned, and You-azwj Alone I seek, and Your-azwj Countenance I desire. I have come to the son-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, my master and my Imam-asws, and it is Your-azwj due not to disappoint the one who comes to him-asws or visits him.
اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي وَ سَلِّمْنِي وَ سَلِّمْ مِنِّي وَ بَلِّغْنِي وَ احْفَظْنِي فِي نَفْسِي وَ عِيَالِي وَ مَا خَوَّلْتَنِي بِخَيْرٍ وَ أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ نَفْسِي وَ دِينِي وَ أَمَانَتِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ ذُرِّيَّتِي وَ عِيَالِي وَ مَا خَوَّلْتَنِي فَإِنَّكَ خَيْرُ مُسْتَوْدَعٍ وَ خَيْرُ حَافِظٍ
O Allah-azwj! Help me, Keep me safe, and Make me a source of safety. Grant me success, Protect me regarding myself, my family, and what You-azwj have entrusted to me with goodness. I entrust to You-azwj my soul, my religion, my trust, my family, my children, my descendants, my dependents, and all that You-azwj have Given me, for You-azwj are the best to entrust and the best Protector!’
ثُمَّ اقْرَأِ الْحَمْدَ وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ آخِرَ الْحَشْرِ ثُمَّ امْضِ عَلَى بَرَكَةِ اللَّهِ وَ قُوَّتِهِ وَ حُسْنِ تَوْفِيقِهِ فَإِذَا وَصَلْتَ تَأْتِي الْفُرَاتَ فَتَغْتَسِلُ
The read Surah Al Hamd and Al Mawazateyn, and Al Tawheed, and Ayat Al Kursi, and end of Surah Al Hashr. Then continue upon the Blessings of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Strength, and His-azwj excellent inclination! When you arrive, come to the Euphrates and bath.
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْنِي وَ طَهِّرْ لِي قَلْبِي وَ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَ أَجْرِ عَلَى لِسَانِي مَحَبَّتَكَ وَ الثَّنَاءَ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ قِوَامَ دِينِي التَّسْلِيمُ لِأَمْرِكَ وَ الشَّهَادَةُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ بِالْأُلْفَةِ بَيْنَهُمْ
Then say, O Allah-azwj! Purify me and Purify my heart for me. Open my chest and make Your-azwj love and praise flow upon my tongue, for there is no strength except through You-azwj. I have come to know that the foundation of my religion is submission to Your-azwj Command and bearing witness to all of Your-azwj Prophets-as and Messengers-as with the cordiality among them-as!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُمْ أَنْبِيَاؤُكَ وَ رُسُلُكَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ
I testify then are Your-azwj Prophets-as and Your-azwj Messengers-as to entirety of Your-azwj creatures!’
ثُمَّ تَأْتِي الْقَبْرَ وَ تَسْتَقْبِلُهُ وَ تُكَبِّرُ بِإِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ تَكْبِيرَةً ثُمَّ تَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ خَالِقِ الْخَلْقِ رَبِّ الْخَلْقِ وَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَعَادُ
Then come to the grave and exclaim Takbeer with eleven Takbeers, the say, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Creator of the creation, Lord-azwj of the creation, and to Him-azwj is the return!
اللَّهُمَّ هَذِهِ تُرْبَةٌ مُبَارَكَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ طَهَّرْتَهَا وَ فَضَّلْتَهَا وَ اتَّخَذْتَهَا لِابْنِ نَبِيِّكَ
O Allah-azwj! This is Blessed soil, good, pure, and You-azwj have Merited it and Taken it for a son-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِحَقِّ نَبِيِّكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ مَنْ عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُمْ وَ مَنْ لَمْ أَعْلَمْ وَ بِحَقِّ مَلَائِكَتِكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ أَفْضَلِ وَفْدِكَ الَّذِينَ قَسَمْتَ لَهُمُ الْوِفَادَةَ إِلَى ابْنِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بَرَكَةَ مَا جِئْتَ لَهُ مِمَّا أَرْجُو مِنْ تَحْطِيطِ الْخَطِيئَةِ عَنِّي
I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, by the right of Your-azwj Prophet-saww and Your-azwj Messengers-as, one I know from them-as and ones I don’t know, and by the right of Your-azwj Angels, to Make me from the best of Your-azwj delegates, those You-azwj have Apportioned the delegating for them to the son-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and I ask You-azwj for Blessings of what I have come for from what I hope of offloading of the misdeeds from me!
اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا مَكَانُ الْعَائِذِ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ
O Allah-azwj! This is a place of the one seeking refuge from the Hellfire!’
ثُمَّ كَبِّرْ سَبْعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ وَ تَدْنُو قَلِيلًا وَ لَا تَلْتَفِتْ وَ لَا تَحُدَّ عَيْنَيْكَ عَنِ الْقَبْرِ فَإِنَّهُ قَبْرُ الطِّيِّبِ انْتَخَبَهُ اللَّهُ لِعِلْمِهِ وَ اخْتَارَهُ بِالْخِيرَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَارَ بِهَا أَوْلِيَاءَهُ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ
Then exclaim seven Takbeers and approach a little and neither turn around nor close your eyes from the grave, for it is the goodly grave which Allah-azwj has Selected for His-azwj Knowledge and has Chosen it with the Choice be which He-azwj had Chosen His-azwj Guardians with from before him-asws.
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ كَفَرْتُ بِالْجِبْتِ وَ الطَّاغُوتِ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ وَعْدَ رَبِّنَا حَقٌّ وَ أَنَّ لِقَاءَهُ حَقٌ وَ أَنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ لا رَيْبَ فِيها وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُحْيِي وَ أَنَّهُ يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ وَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ

ثُمَّ كَبِّرْ ثَلَاثَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ وَ لَا تَلْتَفِتْ عَنِ الْقَبْرِ ثُمَّ تَقُولُ سُبْحانَ رَبِّنا إِنْ كانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنا لَمَفْعُولًا

O Allah-azwj! Make them-asws caliphs in the earth just as You-azwj had Made as caliphs, those from before them-asws, and Enable for them-asws their-asws religion which You-azwj have Nominated for Yourself-azwj until nothing is made a religion except with it so that we glorify You-azwj a lot and we mention You-azwj a lot!’
ثُمَّ تناد به [تُنَادِيهِ] وَ تَقُولُ بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي وَلَدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي مَنْ بَكَتْهُ لِطِيبِ وَفَاتِهِ سَمَاءُ اللَّهِ وَ أَرْضُهُ وَ مَلَائِكَتُهُ بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي مَنْ ذَابَتْ لِحُبِّهِ كَبِدِي وَ عَلَى طُولِ وَتْرِهِ جِسْمِي

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ مِنَ السَّفَرَةِ الْكِرَامِ الْبَرَرَةِ وَ أَشْهَدُ لَكَ بِذَلِكَ فِي مَقَامِي وَ مَقْعَدِي وَ مَرْقَدِي
I testify you-asws are from the honourable ambassadors, the righteous, and I testify for you-asws with that during my standing, and my sitting, and my lying down!’
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ وَ أَنْتَ مُسْتَلِمٌ الْقَبْرَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ الْأَرْبَابِ صَرِيخَ الْأَخْيَارِ إِنِّي عُذْتُ بِكَ فَافْكُكْ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ

O Allah-azwj! Raise him-asws to the praiseworthy position through which You-azwj Give victory to Your-azwj religion, destroy Your-azwj enemy, and Annihilate those who wage war against the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww for You-azwj have Promised him-asws that, and You-azwj do not Break Your-azwj Promise! The greeting be upon you-asws and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ جَاهَدْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ قُتِلْتُمْ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ أَنْتُمْ السَّابِقُونَ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَ الْأَنْصَارُ
I testify you-asws all had fought in the way of Allah-azwj and were killed upon the manifesto of Rasool-Allah-saww! May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and upon you all altogether! You are the preceding ones, the former ones, and the emigrants and the helpers!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ أَنْصَارُ أَبْنَاءِ رَسُولِهِ ص وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي صَدَقَكُمْ وَعْدَهُ وَ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ بِالْحَيَاةِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ سَيِّدِ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً
And I testify you are helpers of sons of His-azwj Rasool-saww, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Made His-azwj Promise come true for you, and your souls are with the like, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, chief of the former ones and the Hereafter, and upon his-saww Progeny-asws, the goodly, the pure altogether, and abundant greetings!
اللَّهُمَ اغْفِرْ وَ ارْحَمْ وَ تَجَاوَزْ عَمَّا تَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْأَعَزُّ الْأَكْرَمُ وَ حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ.
O Allah-azwj! Forgive and Mercy and Overlook from what You-azwj Know! Surely You-azwj the Mightiest, the most Honourable, and Allah-azwj Suffices us and is the Best Disposer, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!’’[2]
40- قَالَ مُؤَلِّفُ الْمَزَارِ الْكَبِيرِ زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى لَهُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ مُخْتَصَرَةٌ يُزَارُ بِهَا فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَ يُزَارُ بِهَا أَيْضاً عِنْدَ قَائِمِ الْغَرِيِّ فَقَدْ جَاءَ فِي الْأَثَرِ أَنَّ رَأْسَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع هُنَاكَ وَ أَنَّ الصَّادِقَ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ع زَارَهُ هُنَاكَ بِهَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةِ وَ صَلَّى عِنْدَهُ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ
The compiler of ‘Al-Mazar Al-Kabeer’ said, ‘There is another Ziyarat of his-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, brief, to visiting with during every day and during every month and visited him-asws with as well at ‘Qaim Al-Ghary’ (Najaf), for the Hadeeth has come that the head of Al-Husayn-asws is over there, and Al Sadiq Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws used to visit him-asws over there with this Ziyarat and prayed four units Salat in his-asws presence.
تَأْتِي مَشْهَدَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَ اغْتِسَالِكَ وَ لِبَاسُكَ أَطْهَرُ ثِيَابِكَ فَإِذَا وَقَفْتَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ فَاسْتَقْبِلْهُ بِوَجْهِكَ وَ اجْعَلِ الْقِبْلَةَ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْكَ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
You should come to his-asws Shrine, may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon him-asws after your bathing, and your wearing your cleanest clothes. When you pause at his-asws grave, face it with your face and make the Qiblah between your shoulders, and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, O son-asws of Amir Al-Momineen-asws!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ الصِّدِّيقَةِ الطَّاهِرَةِ سَيِّدَةِ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
The greeting be upon you-asws O son-asws of the truthful, the pure chieftess of women of the worlds! The greeting be upon you-asws O my master, O Abu Abdullah-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!
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 instructed with the good and forbade from the evil, and recited the Book as is the right of reciting it, and fought for the Salat of Allah-azwj as is the right of fighting, and were patient upon the harm for His-azwj Sake, anticipating until the certainty (death) came to you-asws!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ خَالَفُوكَ وَ حَارَبُوكَ وَ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ خَذَلُوكَ وَ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوكَ مَلْعُونُونَ عَلَى لِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِ وَ قَدْ خابَ مَنِ افْتَرى
I testify that those who opposed you-asws and battled you-asws, and those who abandoned you-asws, and those who killed you-asws are accursed upon the tongue of the Ummy Prophet-saww, and the one who fabricates is disappointed!
لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الظَّالِمِينَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ ضَاعَفَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ 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
May Allah-azwj Curse the oppressors to you all, from the former ones and the latter ones, and Double the painful Punishment upon them! I have come to you-asws O my master, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, as a visitor, recognising your-asws right, a friend to your-asws friends, an enemy to your-asws enemies, insightful with the guidance which you-asws are upon, recognising the straying of the ones opposing you-asws! Intercede for me in the Presence of your-asws Lord-azwj!’
ثُمَّ انْكَبِّ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ ضَعْ خَدَّكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ تَحَوَّلْ إِلَى عِنْدِ الرَّأْسِ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ وَ سَمَائِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى رُوحِكَ الطَّيِّبَةِ وَ جَسَدِكَ الطَّاهِرِ وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
Then devote upon the grave and place your cheek upon it and transfer to be by the head, and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, O Divine Authority of Allah-azwj in His-azwj earth and His-azwj sky! May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon your-asws goodly soul, and your pure body, and upon you-asws be the greeting, O my Master, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!’
ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلْ إِلَى عِنْدِ الرِّجْلَيْنِ فَزُرْ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ ابْنَ مَوْلَايَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ ظَلَمَكَ وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ قَتَلَكَ وَ ضَاعَفَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ
Then transfer to be by the legs and visit Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws (Ali Al-Akbar-asws), and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O my master, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! May Allah-azwj Curse the one who oppressed you-asws, and may Allah-azwj Curse the ones who killed you-asws, and Double the painful Punishment upon them!’
ثُمَّ ادْعُ مَا أَرَدْتَ وَ زُرِ الشُّهَدَاءَ مُنْحَرِفاً عِنْدَ الرِّجْلَيْنِ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ فَقُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا الصِّدِّيقُونَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا الشُّهَدَاءُ الصَّابِرُونَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ جَاهَدْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ صَبَرْتُمْ عَلَى الْأَذَى فِي جَنْبِ اللَّهِ وَ نَصَحْتُمْ لِلَّهِ وَ لِرَسُولِهِ وَ لِابْنِ رَسُولِهِ- حَتَّى أَتَاكُمُ الْيَقِينُ
Then supplicate whatever you want and visiting the martyrs, turning by the legs toward the Qiblah, and say, ‘The greeting be upon you, O truthful ones! The greeting be upon you O the martyrs, the patient! I testify you had fought in the way of Allah-azwj and were patient upon the harm for the Sake of Allah-azwj, and advised for Allah-azwj and for His-azwj Rasool-saww and for the son-asws of His-azwj Rasool-saww, until the certainty (death) came to you-asws!’
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ جَزَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ أَهْلِهِ أَفْضَلَ جَزَاءِ الْمُحْسِنِينَ وَ جَمَعَ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَكُمْ فِي مَحَلِّ النَّعِيمِ
I testify you are alive in the Presence of your Lord-azwj! May Allah-azwj Reward you on behalf of Al-Islam and its people, the best Rewards of the good doers, and Gather between us and you in the place of bliss!’
ثُمَّ امْضِ إِلَى قَبْرِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَهُ فَقِفْ عَلَيْهِ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ الْمُطِيعُ لِلَّهِ وَ لِرَسُولِهِ
Then continue to the grave of Al-Abbas-asws son-asws of Amir Al-Momineen-asws. When you come to him-asws, pause by him-asws and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, O son-asws of Amir Al-Momineen-asws! The greeting be upon you-asws O the righteous servant, the obedient to Allah-azwj, and to His-azwj Rasool-saww!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ جَاهَدْتَ وَ نَصَحْتَ وَ صَبَرْتَ حَتَّى أَتَاكَ الْيَقِينُ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الظَّالِمِينَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ أَلْحَقَهُمْ بِدَرْكِ الْجَحِيمِ
I testify you-asws had fought, and advised, and were patient until the certainty (death) came to you-asws! May Allah-azwj Curse the oppressors to you all, from the former ones and the latter ones and Cast them in the lower lever of the Blazing Fire!’
ثُمَّ صَلِّ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ تَطَوُّعاً مَا أَحْبَبْتَ وَ انْصَرِفْ فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ وَدَاعَ سَيِّدِنَا أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عِنْدَ انْصِرَافِكَ مِنْ مَشْهَدِهِ فَقِفْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ كَمَا وَقَفْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَوَّلًا وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
Then pray Salat in his Masjid voluntarily whatever you like, and leave. When you intend to bid farewell to our chief Abu Abdullah-asws at your leaving from his-asws Shrine, pause by his-asws grave just as you had paused at it firstly, and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, O my master, O Abu Abdullah-asws!
هَذَا أَوَانُ انْصِرَافِي غَيْرَ رَاغِبٍ عَنْكَ وَ لَا مُسْتَبْدِلٍ بِكَ غَيْرَكَ وَ أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ اللَّهَ وَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِالرَّسُولِ وَ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ وَ دَلَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ
This is the time of my leaving, without turning away from you-asws, nor replacing you-asws with someone else, and I entrust you-asws to Allah-azwj and convey the greeting to you-asws! I believe in Allah-azwj and the Rasool-saww, and in whatever he-saww had come with, and pointed upon!
اللَّهُمَّ اكْتُبْنَا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Write us with the testifiers!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْ زِيَارَتِي هَذِهِ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنِّي بِزِيَارَتِهِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْعَوْدَ إِلَيْهِ أَبَداً مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي فَإِذَا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي فَاحْشُرْنِي مَعَهُ وَ اجْمَعْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ.
O Allah-azwj! Do not Make this Ziyarat of mine to be last of the pacts from me of visiting him-asws, and Grace me the returning to him-asws for as long as You-azwj Cause me to live! When You-azwj Cause me to die, Resurrect me with him-asws and Gather between me and him-asws in the Gardens of bliss!’’[3]
أقول: لعله كان في الأصل أن رأس الحسين ع وضع هناك فقد مر مرارا أن قائم الغري هو مسجد الحنانة و هو الموضع الذي وضعوا فيه رأسه ع عند ذهابهم به إلى ابن زياد لعنه الله.
I say, ‘Perhaps originally it was that the head of Al-Husayn-asws was placed over there, for it has passed repeatedly that ‘Qaim Al-Ghary’, it is Masjid Al-Hanana, and it is the place in which his-asws head was placed during their going with it to Ibn Ziyad-la, may Allah-azwj Curse him-la’.
41- ثُمَّ قَالَ زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى لَهُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ الْجَمَّالُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي مَوْلَايَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِذْ أَرَدْتَ زِيَارَةَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَصُمْ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَ اغْتَسِلْ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَ اجْمَعْ إِلَيْكَ أَهْلَكَ وَ وُلْدَكَ وَ قُلْ قَبْلَ مَسِيرِكَ
Then he said, ‘There is another Ziyarat of his-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws reported by Safwan Al Jammal who said, ‘My master Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws said to me: ‘When you want to visit Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, fast three days before that and bathe on the fourth day, and gather your wife and children to you and say before your journey –
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ الْيَوْمَ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنِّي بِسَبِيلٍ الشَّاهِدَ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْغَائِبَ
‘O Allah-azwj! Today I entrust to You-azwj my family, and my wealth and my children, and the one who was with me, the present from them and the absent!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الْفَائِزِينَ وَ احْفَظْنَا بِحِفْظِ الْإِيمَانِ وَ احْفَظْ عَلَيْنَا
O Allah-azwj! Make us from the successful and Protect us with protection of the Eman and Protect upon us!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا فِي جِوَارِكَ وَ حِفْظِكَ وَ حِرْزِكَ وَ لَا تُغَيِّرْ مَا بِنَا مِنَ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ زِدْنَا مِنْ فَضْلِكَ إِنَّا إِلَيْكَ رَاغِبُونَ
O Allah-azwj! Make us to be in Your-azwj Shelter and Your-azwj Preservation and Your-azwj Protection, and do not Alter what bounties there are with us, and Increase us from Your-azwj, we are desirous to You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَ كَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَ سُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْمَالِ وَ الْأَهْلِ وَ الْوَلَدِ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from hardships of the journey and gloom of the returning, and the evil scenarios, and the wealth and the family and the children!
اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنَا حَلَاوَةَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ بَرْدَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ أَمَاناً مِنْ عَذَابِكَ وَ آتِنا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّهُ لَا يَمْلِكُ ذَلِكَ غَيْرُكَ
O Allah-azwj! Provide us the sweetness of Eman and coolness of the Forgiveness, and security from Your-azwj Punishment, and Grant us Mercy from You-azwj, surely no one controls that apart from You-azwj!’
فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَ الْفُرَاتَ فَكَبِّرِ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ هَلِّلْ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ قُلْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ وَفَدَ إِلَيْهِ الرِّجَالُ وَ أَنْتَ سَيِّدِي خَيْرُ مَقْصُودٍ وَ قَدْ جَعَلْتَ لِكُلِّ زَائِرٍ كَرَامَةً وَ لِكُلِّ وَافِدٍ تُحْفَةً
When you come to the Euphrates, exclaim Greatness of Allah-azwj one hundred times, and extol His-azwj Oneness one hundred times, and send Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww on hundred times, then say after that, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj Best of the ones the men delegate to, and You-azwj my Master are the Best aimed for, and You-azwj have Made honours to be for every visitor and a gift for every delegate!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ تُحْفَتَكَ إِيَّايَ فَكَاكَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ اشْكُرْ سَعْيِي وَ ارْحَمْ مَسِيرِي إِلَيْكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَنٍّ عَلَيْكَ بَلْ لَكَ الْمَنُّ عَلَيَّ إِذْ جَعَلْتَ لِيَ السَّبِيلَ إِلَى زِيَارَتِهِ وَ عَرَّفْتَنِي فَضْلَهُ وَ شَرَفَهُ
I ask You-azwj to Make Your-azwj gift to me, being liberation of my neck from the Hellfire, and Appreciation of my striving, and Mercy my journey to You-azwj from without there being a conferment upon You-azwj, but for You-azwj is the Conferment upon me, when You-azwj Made the way for me to visit him-asws, and Introduced me to his-asws merits and his-asws nobility!
اللَّهُمَّ فَاحْفَظْنِي بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ حَتَّى تُبْلِغَنِي هَذَا الْمَكَانَ فَقَدْ رَجَوْتُكَ فَلَا تَقْطَعْ رَجَائِي وَ قَدْ أَمَّلْتُكَ فَلَا تُخَيِّبْ أَمَلِي وَ اجْعَلْ مَسِيرِي هَذَا كَفَّارَةً لِذُنُوبِي يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Protect me by the night and the day until You-azwj Make me reach this place, for I am hoping to You-azwj so do not Cut off my hopes, and I am wishing to You-azwj so do not disappoint my wishes, and Make this journey of mine to be an atonement for my sins, O Lord-azwj of the worlds!’
فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ الْغُسْلَ نَدْباً فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَلَى الْأَئِمَّةِ الصَّادِقِينَ
When you intend to bathe as a delegate, say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, and by Allah-azwj, and there is neither might nor strength except by Allah-azwj, and upon the religion of Rasool-Allah-azwj, and upon the Imams-asws, the truthful!
اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ اشْرَحْ بِهِ صَدْرِي وَ نَوِّرْ بِهِ بَصَرِي
O Allah-azwj! Purify my heart by it, and Expand my chest by it, and Irradiate my sight by it!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ نُوراً وَ طَهُوراً وَ خَيْراً وَ شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ وَ سُقْمٍ وَ عَافِنِي مِنْ كُلِّ مَا أَخَافُ وَ أَحْذَرُ
O Allah-azwj! Make it a Noor, and a cleansing, and goodness, and healing from every illness and sickness, and Grant me well-being from all what I fear and am cautious of!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ لِي شَاهِداً يَوْمَ حَاجَتِي وَ فَقْرِي وَ فَاقَتِي إِلَيْكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
O Allah-azwj! Make it a healing for me on the day of my need and my poverty and my destitution to You-azwj, O Lord-azwj of the worlds, You-azwj are Able upon all things!’
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ غُسْلِكَ فَالْبَسْ ثَوْبَيْنِ طَاهِرَيْنِ أَوْ ثَوْباً وَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ نَدْباً خَارِجَ الْمَشْرَعَةِ وَ هُوَ الْمَكَانُ الَّذِي قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ فِي الْأَرْضِ قِطَعٌ مُتَجاوِراتٌ وَ جَنَّاتٌ مِنْ أَعْنابٍ وَ زَرْعٌ وَ نَخِيلٌ صِنْوانٌ وَ غَيْرُ صِنْوانٍ يُسْقى بِماءٍ واحِدٍ وَ نُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَها عَلى بَعْضٍ فِي الْأُكُلِ
When you are free from your bathing, wear two clean clothes, or a garment, and pray two units Salat as a delegate outside ‘Al Mashra’a’, and it is the place which Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: And in the earth there are neighbouring tracts and gardens of grapes cultivated, and single-rooted palm trees other than single-rooted, being irrigated by one water source, and We Prefer some of it upon the others regarding the eating. [13:4].
وَ اقْرَأْ فِي أَوَّلِ رَكْعَةٍ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ فَإِذَا سَلَّمْتَ فَكَبِّرِ اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ وَ قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْمُتَوَحِّدِ فِي الْأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدانا لِهذا وَ ما كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْ لا أَنْ هَدانَا اللَّهُ لَقَدْ جاءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنا بِالْحَقِ
And read in the first unit Surah Al Fatiha and Al Tawheed, and in the second Surah Al Fatiha and Al Kafiroun. When you have performed Salaam, exclaim Takbeer of Allah-azwj whatever you can and say, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj the Unique in the matters, all of them, the Beneficent, the Merciful, and ‘The Praise is for Allah Who Guided us to this, and we would not have been rightly Guided if Allah had not Guided us. Rasools of our Lord had come with the Truth’. [7:43].
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً كَثِيراً دَائِماً سَرْمَداً لَا يَنْقَطِعُ وَ لَا يَفْنَى حَمْداً تَرْضَى بِهِ عَنَّا حَمْداً يَتَّصِلُ أَوَّلُهُ وَ لَا يَنْفَدُ آخِرُهُ حَمْداً يَزِيدُ وَ لَا يَبِيدُ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ
O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise, abundant Praise, constant, continuous, neither cut off nor depleting. Praise You-azwj are Pleased with from us, Praise connecting its first and its end does not run our, Praise increasing not perishing, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and greeting!’
فَإِذَا تَوَجَّهْتَ إِلَى الْحَائِرِ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ قَصَدْتُ وَ لِبَابِكَ قَرَعْتُ وَ بِفِنَائِكَ نَزَلْتُ وَ بِكَ اعْتَصَمْتُ وَ لِرَحْمَتِكَ تَعَرَّضْتُ وَ بِوَلِيِّكَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع تَوَسَّلْتُ
When you head to the (Holy) enclosure, say, ‘O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj I have directed myself, at Your-azwj door I have knocked, in Your-azwj courtyard I have descended, in You-azwj I have sought protection, for Your-azwj Mercy I have exposed myself, and through Your-azwj guardian Al-Husayn-asws, I have sought means!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اجْعَلْ زِيَارَتِي مَبْرُورَةً وَ دُعَائِي مَقْبُولًا
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws and Make my Ziyarat to be accomplished and my supplication Accepted!

When you come to the door, pause outside the dome and gesture by your eyes toward the grave and say, ‘O my master! O Abu Abdullah-asws! O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww!

I testify you-asws had established the Salat, and gave the Zakat, and instructed with the good and forbade from the evil, and worshipped Allah-azwj sincerely until the certainty (death) came to you-asws!’
ثُمَّ ادْخُلْ عِنْدَ الْقَبْرِ وَ قُمْ عِنْدَ الرَّأْسِ خَاشِعاً قَلْبُكَ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَيِّدِ الْوَصِيِّينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ فَاطِمَةَ الزَّهْرَاءِ سَيِّدَةِ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا خَازِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْمَشْهُورِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أُسَّ الْإِسْلَامِ النَّاصِرَ لِدِينِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نِظَامَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تُكْثِرُ بَعْدَهُمَا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ وَ تَسْأَلُ حَاجَتَكَ
Then pray two units Salat and after these frequent from the Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws and ask your need.
ثُمَّ تَأْتِي إِلَى قَبْرِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْوَلِيُّ الصَّالِحُ النَّاصِحُ الصِّدِّيقُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ آمَنْتَ بِاللَّهِ وَ نَصَرْتَ ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ دَعَوْتَ إِلَى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ وَاسَيْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ وَ بَذَلْتَ مُهْجَتَكَ فَعَلَيْكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ التَّامُّ

And exit from his-asws presence and return to the grave of Al-Husayn-asws. Stay in his-asws presence for as long as you like and I-asws don’t like it for you that you make it your overnight stay. When you intend to bid the farewell, stand by the head while you are crying, and say, ‘O my master! The greeting be upon you-asws, a farewell greeting, neither out of tiredness nor boredom. If I leave, O my master, it is not from being fed up, and if I stay it is not from evil thoughts with what Allah-azwj has Promised the patient ones!
يَا مَوْلَايَ لَا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنِّي مِنْ زِيَارَتِكَ وَ تَقَبَّلَ مِنِّي وَ رَزَقَنِيَ الْعَوْدَ إِلَيْكَ وَ الْمُقَامَ فِي حَرَمِكَ وَ الْكَوْنَ فِي مَشْهَدِكَ آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
O my master! May Allah-azwj not Make it the last pact from me of visiting you-asws and Accept from me and Grace me the returning to you-asws, and the staying in your-asws sanctuary, and being in your-asws Shrine! Ameen, Lord-azwj of the worlds!’
ثُمَّ تُقَبِّلُهُ وَ تُمِرُّ سَائِرَ بَدَنِكَ وَ وَجْهَكَ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ فَإِنَّهُ أَمَانٌ وَ حِرْزٌ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا تَخَافُ وَ تَحْذَرُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ تَمْشِي الْقَهْقَرَى وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا بَابَ الْمَقَامِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا سَفِينَةَ النَّجَاةِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا مَلَائِكَةَ رَبِّيَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي هَذَا الْحَرَمِ

There emerged to me from him–ajfj (the 12th Imam)

The greeting be upon Muslim Bin Awsajah Al-Asady-as, the sayer to Al-Husayn-asws, and he-asws had permitted him to leave, ‘Would we leave you-asws alone, and with what will we apologise to Allah-azwj for not having fulfilled your-asws right? No, by Allah-azwj, until my spear breaks into their chest, and I strike them with my sword, for as long as its hilt is in my hand, and I will not separate from you-asws, and even if there does not happen to be any weapon with me, I will battle them by throwing the rocks at them, then I will not separate from you-asws until I die with you-asws!’
وَ كُنْتَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ شَرَى نَفْسَهُ وَ أَوَّلَ شَهِيدٍ مِنْ شُهَدَاءِ اللَّهِ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ فَفُزْتَ وَ رَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ شَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ اسْتِقْدَامَكَ وَ مُوَاسَاتَكَ إِمَامَكَ إِذْ مَشَى إِلَيْكَ وَ أَنْتَ صَرِيعٌ
And you were the first one who sold (sacrificed) his soul and the first martyr from the martyrs of Allah-azwj to have fulfilled his vow. Thus, you were successful by the Lord-azwj of Kaaba! May Allah-azwj Appreciate to you of your advancing and your consoling your Imam-asws when he-asws walked to you and you had been slain!
فَقَالَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ يَا مُسْلِمَ بْنَ عَوْسَجَةَ وَ قَرَأَ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضى نَحْبَهُ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَ ما بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْمُشْتَرِكِينَ فِي قَتْلِكَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ الضَّبَابِيَّ وَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ خَشْكَارَةَ الْبَجَلِيَّ
He-asws said: ‘May Allah-azwj Mercy you, O Muslim Bin Awsajah-as!’, and he-asws read, So, from them is one who fulfilled his vow, and from them is one who awaits, and they did not change with any alteration [33:23]. May Allah-azwj Curse the ones who participated in your killing by Abdullah Al-Zababy-la, and Abdullah Bin Khashkara Al-Bajaly-la!
السَّلَامُ عَلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَنَفِيِّ الْقَائِلِ لِلْحُسَيْنِ وَ قَدْ أَذِنَ لَهُ فِي الِانْصِرَافِ لَا نُخَلِّيكَ حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ اللَّهُ أَنَّا قَدْ حَفِظْنَا غَيْبَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِيكَ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أُقْتَلُ ثُمَّ أُحْيَا ثُمَّ أُحْرَقُ ثُمَّ أُذْرَى وَ يُفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ بِي سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً مَا فَارَقْتُكَ حَتَّى أَلْقَى حِمَامِي دُونَكَ وَ كَيْفَ لَا أَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ وَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ مَوْتَةٌ أَوْ قَتْلَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ ثُمَّ هِيَ الْكَرَامَةُ الَّتِي لَا انْقِضَاءَ لَهَا أَبَداً
The greeting be upon Sa’ad Bin Abdullah Al Hanafi, the sayer to Al-Husayn-asws, and he-asws had permitted him to leave, ‘We will not leave you-asws alone until Allah-azwj Knows that we have protected you-asws in the absence of Rasool-Allah-saww regarding you-asws! By Allah-azwj! If I knew I would be killed, then revived, then burnt, then hurt, and that is done with me seventy times, I will not separate from you-asws until I meet my death under you-asws! And how can I not do that and rather it is either a death or killing, one (and the same). Then it is the honour which there is no termination for it, ever!’
فَقَدْ لَقِيتَ حِمَامَكَ وَ وَاسَيْتَ إِمَامَكَ وَ لَقِيتَ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْكَرَامَةَ فِي دَارِ الْمُقَامَةِ حَشَرَنَا اللَّهُ مَعَكُمْ فِي الْمُسْتَشْهَدِينَ وَ رَزَقَنَا مُرَافَقَتَكُمْ فِي أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ
You have met your death and consoled your Imam-asws, and met the honours from Allah-azwj in the house of (ever-lasting) residence! May Allah-azwj Gather us with you all among the seekers of martyrdom, and Grace us their friendship in the high Illiyeen!
السَّلَامُ عَلَى بِشْرِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ شَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ قَوْلَكَ لِلْحُسَيْنِ وَ قَدْ أَذِنَ لَكَ فِي الِانْصِرَافِ أَكَلَتْنِي إِذَنِ السِّبَاعُ حَيّاً إِذَا فَارَقْتُكَ وَ أَسْأَلُ عَنْكَ الرُّكْبَانَ وَ أَخْذُلُكَ مَعَ قِلَّةِ الْأَعْوَانِ لَا يَكُونُ هَذَا أَبَداً
The greeting be upon Bishr Bin Umar Al-Hazramy-as. May Allah-azwj Appreciate for you your words to Al-Husayn-asws, and he-asws had permitted for you to leave, ‘Then may the wild animals devour me alive if I separate from you-asws, and I will ask the riders about you-asws and I would have abandoned you-asws with few supporters? This will not happen, ever!’

The greeting be upon Zuhayr Bin Al Qayn Al-Bajali-as, the sayer to Al-Husayn-asws, and he-asws had permitted him to leave, ‘No, by Allah-azwj! That cannot happen, ever!

و إنما أوردناها في الزيارات المطلقة لعدم دلالة الخبر على تخصيصه بوقت من الأوقات. و اعلم أن في تاريخ الخبر إشكالا لتقدمها على ولادة القائم ع بأربع سنين لعلها كانت اثنتين و ستين و مائتين و يحتمل أن يكون خروجه عن أبي محمد العسكري ع.
We have included it among the general visitations because the report does not indicate that it is limited to any specific time. Know that there is a difficulty concerning the date of the report, as it precedes the time of Al-Qa’im-ajfj being blessed (to parents) by four years. Perhaps the correct date was 262 AH. It is also possible that it was issued by Abu Muhammad Al Askari-asws!

(The book) ‘Kamil Al-Ziyaraat’ – Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al-Husayn Al Askari, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Mahziyar, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muhammad Bin Marwan, from Abu Hamza Al Sumali who said,
‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘When you want to visit the grave of Al-Abbas-asws Bin Ali-asws, and it is at the riverbank of the Euphrates facing the (Holy) enclosure. Paused at the door of the tent and say, ‘Greeting of Allah-azwj and greeting be upon His-azwj Angels of Proximity, and His-azwj Sent Messengers-as, and His-azwj righteous servant, and entirety of the martyrs, and the truthful, and the pure, and the goodly in what is provided and comes to you-asws, O son-asws of Amir Al-Momineen-asws!
أَشْهَدُ لَكَ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ وَ التَّصْدِيقِ وَ الْوَفَاءِ وَ النَّصِيحَةِ لِخَلَفِ النَّبِيِّ ص الْمُرْسَلِ وَ السِّبْطِ الْمُنْتَجَبِ وَ الدَّلِيلِ الْعَالِمِ وَ الْوَصِيِّ الْمُبَلِّغِ وَ الْمَظْلُومِ الْمُهْتَضَمِ
I testify to you-asws with the submission, and the ratification, and the loyalty, and the advice to a successor-asws of the Prophet-saww, the Sent, and the selected grandson-asws, and the pointer, the knowledgeable, and the successor, the deliverer, and the oppressed, the attacked!
فَجَزَاكَ اللَّهُ عَنْ رَسُولِهِ وَ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَفْضَلَ الْجَزَاءِ بِمَا صَبَرْتَ وَ احْتَسَبْتَ وَ أَعَنْتَ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ
May Allah-azwj Reward you on behalf of His-azwj Rasool-saww and on behalf of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and on behalf of Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws the best Reward due to your-asws having been patient, and anticipated, and assisted! So the best outcome is the ever-lasting House!
لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ قَتَلَكَ وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ جَهِلَ حَقَّكَ وَ اسْتَخَفَّ بِحُرْمَتِكَ وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ حَالَ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ مَاءِ الْفُرَاتِ
May Allah-azwj Curse the one who killed you-asws, and may Allah-azwj Curse the one who ignored your-asws right and took lightly with your-asws sanctity, and may Allah-azwj Curse the one who was a barrier between you-asws and water of the Euphrates!

I testify you-asws were killed as oppressed, and Allah-azwj will Fulfil what He-azwj has Promised you-asws! I have come to you-asws, O son-asws of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, as a delegate to you all and my heart is submissive to you, and as a follower, and I am a follower of you all, and my help is prepared for you until Allah-azwj Judges, and He-azwj is Best of the judges!
فَمَعَكُمْ مَعَكُمْ لَا مَعَ عَدُوِّكُمْ إِنِّي بِكُمْ وَ بِإِيَابِكُمْ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ بِمَنْ خَالَفَكُمْ وَ قَتَلَكُمْ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ قَتَلَ اللَّهُ أُمَّةً قَتَلَتْكُمْ بِالْأَيْدِي وَ الْأَلْسُنِ
With you all, with you all, not with your enemies! I am with you, and your forefathers from the Momineen and am from the disbeliever of the ones who opposed you and killed you! May Allah-azwj Killed the community which killed you with the hands and the tongues!

And I testify that Allah is the Guardian of those who believe. He Extracts them from the (multitude of) darkness into the Light; and (as for) those who are committing Kufr, their guardian is the tyrant who extracts them from the Light into the (multitude of) darkness; these are the inmates of the Fire; they would be in it eternally [2:257]!

And I testify that But rather, your Guardian is Allah, and His Rasool, and those who are believing, those who are establishing the Salat and are giving the Zakat while they are performing Ruku [5:55] and the possessors of the relationships, some of them are closer than the others [8:75] Offspring, one being from the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing [3:34]!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُمْ أَعْلَامُ الدِّينِ وَ أُولُو الْأَرْحَامِ عَلَى الْوَرَى وَ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا انْتَجَبْتَهُمْ وَ اصْطَفَيْتَهُمْ وَ اخْتَصَصْتَهُمْ وَ أَطْلَعْتَهُمْ عَلَى سِرِّكَ
And I testify they-asws are the flags of religion, and possessors of the kinship upon the devoutness, and the Divine Authorities upon people of the world! You-azwj Selected them-asws, and Chose them-asws, and Specialised them-asws, and Notified them-asws upon Your-azwj Secrets!
فَقَامُوا بِأَمْرِكَ وَ أَمَرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ نَهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ دَعَوُا الْعِبَادَ إِلَى التَّأْوِيلِ وَ التَّنْزِيلِ كُلَّمَا مَضَى مِنْهُمْ دَاعٍ خَلَّفَ فِيهِمْ دَاعِياً فَرَضْتَ طَاعَتَهُمْ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِمُوَالاتِهِمْ وَ لَمْ تَجْعَلْ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ عُذْراً فِي تَرْكِهِمْ وَ الانْحِيَازِ عَنْهُمْ وَ الْمَيْلِ إِلَى غَيْرِهِمْ
They-asws stood with Your-azwj Commands, and instructed with the good and forbade from the evil, and called the servants to the interpretation and the Revelation! Every time a caller from them-asws passed away, a caller from among them-asws was a replacement! You-azwj Obligated obedience to them-asws and Commanded with their-asws Wilayah, and did not Make any excuse for anyone of Your-azwj creatures in neglecting them and be biased against them-asws and the inclining to others!
وَ جَعَلْتَهُمْ أَهْلَ بَيْتِ النُّبُوَّةِ أَفْضَلَ الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَ مَعْدِنَ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ مَهْبِطَ الْوَحْيِ وَ الْكَرَامَةِ وَ أَوْلَادَ الصَّفْوَةِ وَ أَسْبَاطَ الرُّسُلِ وَ أَقْرَانَ الْكِتَابِ وَ أَبْوَابَ الْهُدَى وَ الْعُرْوَةَ الْوُثْقَى لَا يَخَافُونَ فِيكَ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ وَ لَا يَقُومُ بِحَقِّهِمْ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يَهْدِي بِهُدَاهُمْ إِلَّا مُنْتَجَبٌ
And You-azwj Made them-asws, People-asws of the Household of the Prophet-hood, best of the Created beings, and mines of the Message, and interchange of the Angels, and descending place of the Revelation and the prestige, and children of the elites, and tribes of the Messengers-as, and pair of the Book, and the doors of guidance, and the firmest handhold! Regarding You-azwj, they don’t fear the blame of a blamer, nor is anyone standing with their-asws rights except a Momin, nor guided by their-asws guidance except a selected one!
اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِأَجْزَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ بَوِّئْهُمْ مِنْ كَرَمِكَ بِأَكْرَمِ كَرَامَاتِكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon them-asws with the best Salawaat and Bless upon them-asws with the most plentiful of Your-azwj Blessings, and Grant them-asws from Your-azwj Benevolent the most honourable of Your-azwj honours in the world and the Hereafter!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ أَحَبَّ الْأَشْيَاءِ إِلَيَّ وَ أَبَرَّهَا لَدَيَّ وَ أَهَمَّهَا إِلَيَّ حُبَّكَ وَ حُبَّ رَسُولِكَ وَ حُبَّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ وَ حُبَّ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ وَ حُبَّ مَنْ عَمِلَ الْمُحِبَّ لَكَ وَ لَهُمْ وَ بُغْضَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَكَ وَ أَبْغَضَهُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ وَ بُغْضَ مَنْ عَمِلَ الْمُبْغِضَ لَكَ وَ لَهُمْ حَيّاً وَ مَيِّتاً
O Allah-azwj! Make the most beloved of the things to me and their most righteous before me, and their most righteous before me, and their most important to me being You-azwj Love, and love of Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and love of People-asws of his-saww Household, the goodly, and love of the ones loving them-asws, from entirety of Your-azwj creatures, and love of the one who works with the love for You-azwj and for them-asws, and hatred of the one hating You-azwj and hating them-asws, from entirety of Your-azwj creatures, and hatred of the one who works with the hatred to You-azwj and to them-asws, alive and dead!
وَ ارْزُقْنِي صَبْراً جَمِيلًا وَ دِيناً سَلِيماً وَ فَرَجاً قَرِيباً وَ أَجْراً عَظِيماً وَ رِزْقاً هَنِيئاً وَ عَيْشاً رَغِيداً وَ جِسْماً صَحِيحاً وَ عَيْناً دَامِعَةً وَ قَلْباً خَاشِعاً وَ يَقِيناً ثَابِتاً وَ عُمُراً طَوِيلًا وَ عَقْلًا كَامِلًا وَ عِبَادَةً دَائِمَةً
And Grace me beautiful patience, and sound religion, and near relief, and mighty Recompense, and pleasant sustenance, and rich life, and healthy body, and tearful eyes, and fearful heart, and firm conviction, and long life, and perfect intellect, and constant worship!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ عَلَى الْهُدَى وَ الْقُوَّةَ عَلَى مَا تُحِبُّ وَ تَرْضَى
And I ask You-azwj for the steadfastness upon the guidance, and the strength upon what You-azwj Love and are Pleased with!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ اجْعَلْ حُبَّكَ أَحَبَّ الْأَشْيَاءِ إِلَيَّ وَ خَوْفَكَ أَخْوَفَ الْأَشْيَاءِ عِنْدِي وَ ارْزُقْنِي حُبَّكَ وَ حُبَّ مَنْ يَنْفَعُنِي حُبُّهُ عِنْدَكَ وَ مَا رَزَقْتَنِي وَ تَرْزُقُنِي مِمَّا أُحِبُّ
O Allah-azwj, and Make Your-azwj Love the most beloved of the things to me, and Your-azwj fear the most fearful of the things with me, and Grace me Your-azwj Love, and love of the one whose love benefits me in Your-azwj Presence, and what You-azwj have Provided me and will be Providing me, from what I love!
فَاجْعَلْهُ لِي فَرَاغاً فِيمَا تُحِبُّ وَ اقْطَعْ حَوَائِجَ الدُّنْيَا بِالشَّوْقِ إِلَى لِقَائِكَ وَ إِذَا أَقْرَرْتَ عُيُونَ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا بِدُنْيَاهُمْ فَاجْعَلْ قُرَّةَ عَيْنِي فِي طَاعَتِكَ وَ رِضَاكَ وَ مَرْضَاتَكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ إِنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ.
Make it a free time regarding what You-azwj Love, and Cut off needs of the world with the yearning to meet You-azwj, and when eyes of people of the world are delighted with their world, Make delight of my eyes being in obedience to You-azwj and Your-azwj Pleasure, and Your-azwj Satisfaction, by Your-azwj Mercy! Surely Your-azwj Mercy is near to the good doers!’’[17]
ثم قال رحمه الله صفة صلاة أخرى عند رأس الحسين صلوات الله عليه و هما ركعتان بالرحمن و تبارك فمن صلاهما كتب الله له خمسا و عشرين حجة مقبولة مبرورة متقبلة مع رسول الله ص-.
And he, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said, ‘Another Salawaat by the head of Al-Husayn-asws, may the Salat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, and this is of two units with (Surah) Al Rahman and Al Mulk. One who prays it, Allah-azwj will Write for him twenty-five Hajj, Accepted, accomplished, accepted with Rasool-Allah-saww’’.[18]
ثم قال قدس سره صفة صلاة الحسين ع و هو فيما ينبغي أن يصلي عند ضريحه ع و هي أربع ركعات بأربعمائة مرة فاتحة الكتاب و أربعمائة مرة قل هو الله أحد تقرأ و أنت قائم خمسين مرة الحمد و خمسين مرة قل هو الله أحد ثم تركع و تقرأ كل واحدة منهما عشرا ثم ترفع رأسك و تقرؤهما عشرا ثم تسجد و تقرؤهما عشرا ثم ترفع رأسك و تقرؤهما عشرا ثم تسجد و تقرؤهما عشرا فذلك مائة في كل ركعة
Then he, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul, said, ‘Description of Salat of Al-Husayn-asws, and it is what is befitting that one prays by his-asws Shrine, and it is of four units with four hundred times Surah Al Fatiha, and four hundred times Surah Al Tawheed, read while you are standing, fifty times Surah Al Hamd and fifty times Surah Al Tawheed. Then perform Ruk’u and reach each one of these ten times, the raise your head and read these ten times, then perform Sajdah and read these ten times, then raise your head and read these ten times, then perform Sajdah and read these ten times. That would be a hundred in each unit.
فإذا سلمت فقل يَا اللَّهُ أَنْتَ الَّذِي اسْتَجَبْتَ لِآدَمَ وَ حَوَّاءَ ع حِينَ قَالا رَبَّنا ظَلَمْنا أَنْفُسَنا وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنا وَ تَرْحَمْنا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخاسِرِينَ
When you have performed Salaam, say, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are the One Who Responded to Adam-as and Hawwa-as when they-as said: ‘Our Lord! We wronged ourselves, and if You do not Forgive us and have Mercy on us, we would become from the losers’ [7:23]!
وَ نَادَاكَ نُوحٌ ع فَاسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ وَ نَجَّيْتَهُ وَ أَهْلَهُ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ أَطْفَأْتَ نَارَ نُمْرُودَ عَنْ خَلِيلِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَجَعَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ بَرْداً وَ سَلاماً
And Noah-as called out to You-azwj so You-azwj Responded to him-as and Saved him-as and his-as family from the mighty distress, and Extinguished the fire of Nimrod-la from Your-azwj friend Ibrahim-as and Made it cool and safe!
وَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي اسْتَجَبْتَ لِأَيُّوبَ ع حِينَ نَادَاكَ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ فَكَشَفْتَ مَا بِهِ مِنَ الضُّرِّ وَ آتَيْتَهُ أَهْلَهُ وَ مِثْلَهُمْ مَعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَ ذِكْرَى لِأُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ
And You-azwj are the One Who Responded to Ayoub-saww when he-as called out to You-azwj: ‘I am touched by the harm and You are the most Merciful of the merciful ones’ [21:83], so You-azwj Removed whatever from harm there was with him, and We Gave him (back) his family and the like of them along with them, [21:84], being a Mercy from You-azwj and a Reminder for the ones of understanding!
وَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي اسْتَجَبْتَ لِذِي النُّونِ حِينَ نَادَى فِي الظُّلُماتِ أَنْ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ فَنَجَّيْتَهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ
And You-azwj are the One Who Responded to Zul Noun (Yunus-as) when he-as called out to You-azwj: in the darkness that: ‘There is no god except Allah! Glorious are You, I was of the unjust ones!’ [21:87]! So You-azwj Rescued him-as from the sadness.
وَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي اسْتَجَبْتَ لِمُوسَى وَ هَارُونَ دَعْوَتَهُمَا حِينَ قُلْتَ قَدْ أُجِيبَتْ دَعْوَتُكُما فَاسْتَقِيما وَ أَغْرَقْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ قَوْمَهُ
And You-azwj are the One Who Responded to Musa-as and Haroun-as of their-as supplication when You-azwj Said: “I have Accepted the supplication of both of you, therefore be steadfast [10:89], and drowned Pharaoh-la and his-la people!
وَ غَفَرْتَ لِدَاوُدَ ذَنْبَهُ وَ نَبَّهْتَ قَلْبَهُ وَ أَرْضَيْتَ خَصْمَهُ رَحْمَةً مِنْكَ وَ فَدَيْتَ الذَّبِيحَ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ بَعْدَ مَا أَسْلَما وَ تَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ فَنَادَيْتَ بِالْفَرَجِ وَ الرُّوحِ
And You-azwj Forgave for Dawood-as his-as sin and Alerted his-as heart, and Satisfied his-as opponent out of Mercy from You-azwj, and Ransomed the slaughter with a mighty slaughter after when they both submitted, and he laid him down of the forehead [37:103] (p.s. This Verse is for Prophet Ibrahim-as), so he-as called out for the relief and the comfort!
وَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي نَادَاكَ زَكَرِيَّا ع نِداءً خَفِيًّا قالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَهَنَ الْعَظْمُ مِنِّي وَ اشْتَعَلَ الرَّأْسُ شَيْباً وَ لَمْ أَكُنْ بِدُعائِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيًّا وَ قُلْتَ وَ يَدْعُونَنا رَغَباً وَ رَهَباً وَ كانُوا لَنا خاشِعِينَ
And You-azwj are the One Who Zakariya-as had called out to You-azwj a secretive calling [19:3] He said: ‘My Lord! Surely the bones have weakened from me, and the head shines with grey hair, and I have not been unfortunate in my supplication You, Lord!’ [19:4] and You-azwj Said, “And they were supplicating to Us, hoping and fearing, and they were humble to Us [21:90]!
وَ أَنْتَ تَسْتَجِيبُ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لِتَزِيدَنَّهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ رَبِّ فَلَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَهْوَنِ الدَّاعِينَ لَكَ الرَّاغِبِينَ إِلَيْكَ وَ اسْتَجِبْ لِي كَمَا اسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُمْ بِحَقِّهِمْ عَلَيْكَ
And You-azwj Respond to those who believe and do righteous deeds for You-azwj to Increase for them from Your-azwj Grace, Lord-azwj! Do not Make me from the insignificant of the supplicaters to You-azwj, the desiring to You-azwj, and Respond to me just as You-azwj had Responded to them-as, by their-as right upon You-azwj!
طَهِّرْنِي بِطُهْرِكَ وَ تَقَبَّلْ صَلَاتِي وَ حَسَنَاتِي بِقَبُولٍ حَسَنٍ وَ طَيِّبْ بَقِيَّةَ حَيَاتِي وَ طَيِّبْ وَفَاتِي وَ احْفَظْنِي فِيمَنْ أَخْلُفُ وَ احْفَظْهُمْ رَبِّ بِدُعَائِي وَ اجْعَلْ ذُرِّيَّتِي ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً تُحِيطُهَا بِحِيَاطَتِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا حُطْتَ مِنْهُ ذُرِّيَّةَ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ أَهْلِ طَاعَتِكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
Purify me with Your-azwj Purification and Accept my Salat and my good deeds with an excellent Acceptance, and Make good the remainder of my life, and Make good my expiry, and Protect me among the ones I leave behind, and Protect them Lord-azwj due to my supplication, and Make my offspring a goodly offspring surrounded by Your-azwj Protection from everything from which You-azwj Protected the offspring of Your-azwj friends and the people of Your-azwj obedience, by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
يَا مَنْ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رَقِيبٌ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ سَائِلٍ قَرِيبٌ وَ لِكُلِّ دَاعٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ مُسْتَجِيبٌ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ
O the One Who is a Watcher over all things, and near to every requester and Responder to every supplicater from His-azwj creatures! You-azwj are Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except You-azwj the Living, the Eternal, the First, the Non-hollow Who does not beget nor is He-azwj begotten, and no one happens to be a match for Him-azwj!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ الَّتِي عَلَوْتَ بِهَا عَلَى عَرْشِكَ وَ رَفَعْتَ بِهَا سَمَاوَاتِكَ وَ فَرَشْتَ بِهَا أَرْضَكَ وَ أَرْسَيْتَ بِهَا جِبَالَكَ وَ أَجْرَيْتَ بِهَا الْبِحَارَ وَ سَخَّرْتَ بِهَا السَّحَابَ وَ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ وَ النُّجُومَ وَ اللَّيْلَ وَ النَّهَارَ وَ خَلَقْتَ بِهَا الْخَلَائِقَ كُلَّهَا
And I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Power which You-azwj are Elevated with upon Your-azwj Throne and Raised Your-azwj skies by it, and Spread Your-azwj earth by it, and Raised Your-azwj mountains by it, and Flowed the oceans by it, and Subdued the clouds, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the night, and the day by it, and Created all the creatures by it!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِعَظَمَةِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَتْ بِهِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ أَضَاءَتْ بِهِ الظُّلُمَاتُ إِلَّا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ كَفَيْتَنِي أَمْرَ مَعَادِي وَ مَعَاشِي وَ أَصْلَحْتَ شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ وَ لَمْ تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَ أَصْلَحْتَ أَمْرِي وَ أَمْرَ عِيَالِي وَ كَفَيْتَنِي أَمْرَهُمْ وَ أَغْنَيْتَنِي وَ إِيَّاهُمْ مِنْ كُنُوزِكَ وَ خَزَائِنِكَ وَ سَعَةِ فَضْلِكَ
I ask You-azwj by the Magnificence of Your-azwj Benevolent Face by which the skies shone, and the darkness was illuminated, please Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Suffice me of the matters of my Hereafter and my life, and Rectify my affairs, all of it, and do not Allocate me to myself for the blink of an eye, and Rectify my matters and matters of my dependants, and Suffice me of their matters, and Enrich me and them from Your-azwj Treasure and Your-azwj Rewards, and vastness of Your-azwj Grace!
وَ أُنِيطَتْ قَلْبِي مِنْ يَنَابِيعِ الْحِكْمَةِ الَّتِي تَنْفَعُنِي بِهَا وَ تَنْفَعُ بِهَا مَنِ ارْتَضَيْتَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ وَ جَعَلْتَ لِي مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي آخِرَتِي إِمَاماً كَمَا جَعَلْتَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِمَاماً
And Burst my heart from the springs of wisdom which I would be benefitted with, and ones You-azwj are Pleased with from Your-azwj servants will benefit, and Make an Imam-asws to be for me from the pious ones in my Hereafter just as You-azwj Made Ibrahim-as as an Imam-as!
فَإِنَّ بِتَوْفِيقِكَ يَفُوزُ الْفَائِزُونَ وَ يَتُوبُ التَّائِبُونَ وَ يَعْبُدُكَ الْعَابِدُونَ وَ بِتَسْدِيدِكَ يَسْعَدُ الصَّالِحُونَ الْمُخْبِتُونَ الْخَائِفُونَ لَكَ وَ بِإِرْشَادِكَ نَجَا النَّاجُونَ مِنْ نَارِكَ وَ أَشْفَقَ مِنْهَا الْمُشْفِقُونَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ بِخِذْلَانِكَ خَسِرَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ وَ هَلَكَ الظَّالِمُونَ وَ غَفَلَ الْغَافِلُونَ
For by Your-azwj Inclination the successful are victorious, and by it the repentant repent, and the worshippers worship You-azwj, and by Your-azwj Guidance the righteous, humble, and fearful are made fortunate, and by Your-azwj Direction the saved are rescued from Your-azwj Fire, and the fearful among Your-azwj creatures are made cautious of it, and by Your-azwj Abandonment the false ones are ruined, the wrongdoers perish, and the heedless fall into neglect!
اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَهَا هُدَاهَا وَ أَلْهِمْهَا فُجُورَها وَ تَقْواها وَ أَنْزِلْهَا مِنَ الْجِنَانِ عُلْيَاهَا وَ طَيِّبْ وَفَاتَهَا وَ مَحْيَاهَا وَ أَكْرِمْ مُنْقَلَبَهَا وَ مَثْوَاهَا وَ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَ مَأْوَاهَا وَ أَنْتَ رَبُّهَا وَ مَوْلَاهَا ثُمَّ ادْعُ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ.
O Allah-azwj! Manifest its guidance for it, and Inspire it its immorality and its piety, and place it in the highest ranks of Paradise! Make its death and life pure, honour its return, its resting place, its dwelling, and its refuge, for You-azwj are its Lord-azwj and Master!’ Then supplicate with whatever you like, if Allah-azwj so Desires!’’[19]

عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْبَاقِرِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ زَارَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ حَتَّى يَظَلَّ عِنْدَهُ بَاكِياً لَقِيَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِثَوَابِ أَلْفَيْ أَلْفِ حَجَّةٍ وَ أَلْفَيْ أَلْفِ عُمْرَةٍ وَ أَلْفَيْ أَلْفِ غَزْوَةٍ وَ ثَوَابُ كُلِّ حَجَّةٍ وَ عُمْرَةٍ وَ غَزْوَةٍ كَثَوَابِ مَنْ حَجَّ وَ اعْتَمَرَ وَ غَزَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ مَعَ الْأَئِمَّةِ الرَّاشِدِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ
‘From Abu Ja’far Al-Baqir-asws having said: ‘One who visits Al-Husayn-asws on the day of Ashura until he remains crying in his-asws presence will meet Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic on the Day of Qiyamah with Rewards of a million Hajj and a million Umrah, and a million military expeditions, and Rewards of every Hajj and Umrah and military expedition like Rewards of a Hajj and Umrah and military expedition with Rasool-Allah-azwj and with the rightly directing Imams-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws!’
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَمَا لِمَنْ كَانَ فِي بُعْدِ الْبِلَادِ وَ أَقَاصِيهَا وَ لَمْ يُمْكِنْهُ الْمَصِيرُ إِلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! What is for the one in a remote city and its outskirts and the travelling to him-asws is impossible during that day?’
قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ بَرَزَ إِلَى الصَّحْرَاءِ أَوْ صَعِدَ سَطْحاً مُرْتَفِعاً فِي دَارِهِ وَ أَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ وَ اجْتَهَدَ عَلَى قَاتِلِهِ بِالدُّعَاءِ وَ صَلَّى بَعْدَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي صَدْرِ النَّهَارِ قَبْلَ الزَّوَالِ
He-asws said: ‘When it would be that day, he should go out to the desert or climb on an elevated roof in his house, and gesture the greeting to him-asws make efforts with the supplication against his-asws killers, and pray two units Salat after it. He should do that in the middle of the day before the midday.
ثُمَّ لْيَنْدُبِ الْحُسَيْنَ ع وَ يَبْكِيهِ وَ يَأْمُرُ مَنْ فِي دَارِهِ بِالْبُكَاءِ عَلَيْهِ وَ يُقِيمُ فِي دَارِهِ مُصِيبَتَهُ بِإِظْهَارِ الْجَزَعِ عَلَيْهِ وَ يَتَلَاقَوْنَ بِالْبُكَاءِ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً بِمُصَابِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع فَأَنَا ضَامِنٌ لَهُمْ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَمِيعَ هَذَا الثَّوَابِ
Then let him mourn Al-Husayn-asws and cry over him-asws, and instruct the ones in his house with the weeping upon him-asws, and he should establish his-asws calamity in his house by manifesting the alarm upon him-asws and meet each other with the weeping with calamities of Al-Husayn-asws. When they do that, I-asws guarantee based upon Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, the entirety of this Reward’.
فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ أَنْتَ الضَّامِنُ لَهُمْ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ وَ الزَّعِيمُ بِهِ
I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, and you-asws are the guarantor for them when they do that, and the one responsible with it?’
قَالَ أَنَا الضَّامِنُ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ وَ الزَّعِيمُ لِمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ
He-asws said: ‘I-asws the guarantor of that for them and the one responsible for the one who does that!’
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘How should they console each other?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ يُعَزِّي بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً قَالَ يَقُولُونَ عَظَّمَ اللَّهُ أُجُورَنَا بِمُصَابِنَا بِالْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ جَعَلَنَا وَ إِيَّاكُمْ مِنَ الطَّالِبِينَ بِثَأْرِهِ مَعَ وَلِيِّهِ الْإِمَامِ الْمَهْدِيِّ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع
He-asws said: ‘They should be saying, ‘May Allah-azwj Magnify our Recompense due to our tragedy with Al-Husayn-asws and Make us and you all from the seekers of his-asws retaliation with His-azwj Guardian, the Imam Al-Mahdi-ajfj from the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww!’
فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا تَنْتَشِرَ يَوْمَكَ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَافْعَلْ فَإِنَّهُ يَوْمُ نَحْسٍ لَا تُقْضَى فِيهِ حَاجَةُ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ إِنْ قُضِيَتْ لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيهَا وَ لَمْ يَرَ رُشْداً وَ لَا تَدَّخِرَنَّ لِمَنْزِلِكَ شَيْئاً فَإِنَّهُ مَنِ ادَّخَرَ لِمَنْزِلِهِ شَيْئاً فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيمَا يَدَّخِرُهُ وَ لَا يُبَارَكُ لَهُ فِي أَهْلِهِ
If you are able not to disperse regarding a need during your day, then do so, for it is an inauspicious day! Need of a Momin will not be fulfilled during it, and even if it is fulfilled, there will be no Blessings for him during it, and he will not see the right direction, nor should you store (i.e., food stock) anything for your house, for the one who store something for his house during that day, there will be no Blessings for him regarding what he had stored nor will there be any Blessings for him in his family!
فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ كُتِبَ لَهُ ثَوَابُ أَلْفِ أَلْفِ حَجَّةٍ وَ أَلْفِ أَلْفِ عُمْرَةٍ وَ أَلْفِ أَلْفِ غَزْوَةٍ كُلُّهَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ كَانَ لَهُ ثَوَابُ مُصِيبَةِ كُلِّ نَبِيٍّ وَ رَسُولٍ وَ صِدِّيقٍ وَ شَهِيدٍ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ مُنْذُ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ
The one who does that, Allah-azwj will Write for him Rewards of a million Hajj, and a million Umrah, and a million military expeditions, all of these with Rasool-Allah-saww, and for him would be Rewards of tragedy of every Prophet-as, and Messenger-as, and truthful, and martyr who had died or was killed since Allah-azwj Created the world up to the Day the Hour will be established!’
قَالَ صَالِحُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ الْجُهَنِيُّ وَ سَيْفُ بْنُ عَمِيرَةَ قَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع عَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً أَدْعُو بِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ إِذَا أَنَا زُرْتُهُ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ وَ دُعَاءً أَدْعُو بِهِ إِذَا لَمْ أَزُرْهُ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ وَ أَوْمَأْتُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ بُعْدِ الْبِلَادِ وَ مِنْ دَارِي
Salih Bin Uqba Al-Juhanny, and Saif Bin Ameyra (narrators) said, ‘Al-Qamah Bin Muhammad Al-Hazramy (narrator) said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘Teach me a supplication I can supplicate with during that day, when I visit him-asws from near, and a supplication I can supplicate with when I don’t visit him-asws from near, and I gesture to him-asws from a remote city and from my house!’
قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا عَلْقَمَةُ إِذَا أَنْتَ صَلَّيْتَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ أَنْ تُومِئَ إِلَيْهِ بِالسَّلَامِ وَ قُلْتَ عِنْدَ الْإِيمَاءِ إِلَيْهِ وَ بَعْدَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ دَعَوْتَ بِمَا يَدْعُو بِهِ مَنْ زَارَهُ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws said: ‘O Alqamah! When you have prayed the two units Salat after you have gestured to him-asws with the greeting, and you should say this world during the gesturing to him-asws and after the two units, for when you have said that, you will have supplicated with what is being supplicated by the ones from the Angels who visit him-asws!
وَ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَكَ بِهَا أَلْفَ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ وَ مَحَا عَنْكَ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ رَفَعَ لَكَ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ أَلْفِ دَرَجَةٍ وَ كُنْتَ كَمَنِ اسْتُشْهِدَ مَعَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع حَتَّى تُشَارِكَهُمْ فِي دَرَجَاتِهِمْ لَا تُعْرَفُ إِلَّا فِي الشُّهَدَاءِ الَّذِينَ اسْتُشْهِدُوا مَعَهُ وَ كُتِبَ لَكَ ثَوَابُ كُلِّ نَبِيٍّ وَ رَسُولٍ وَ زِيَارَةِ كُلِّ مَنْ زَارَ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ع مُنْذُ يَوْمَ قُتِلَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ
And due to it, Allah-azwj will Write for you a million good deeds, and Delete from you a million evil deeds, and Raise for you a million ranks, and you would be like the one who had been martyred with Al-Husayn Bin Ali-asws, until you participate with them in their ranks. You will not be recognised except as among the martyrs, those who had been martyred with him-asws, and there shall be Written for you-asws Rewards of every Prophet-as and Messenger-as, and Ziyarat of every one who visits Al-Husayn Bin Ali-asws since the day he-asws was killed. May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws!
تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا خِيَرَةَ اللَّهِ وَ ابْنَ خِيَرَتِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ ابْنَ سَيِّدِ الْوَصِيِّينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ فَاطِمَةَ سَيِّدَةِ النِّسَاءِ
You should say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws, O Abu Abdullah-asws! The greeting be upon you-asws O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ثَارَ اللَّهِ وَ ابْنَ ثَارِهِ وَ الْوِتْرُ الْمَوْتُورُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى الْأَرْوَاحِ الَّتِي حَلَّتْ بِفِنَائِكَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنِّي جَمِيعاً سَلَامُ اللَّهِ أَبَداً مَا بَقِيتُ وَ بَقِيَ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ
The greeting be upon you-asws O whose revenge is upon Allah-azwj and son-asws of that whose revenge is upon Allah-azwj, and the one who was singled out! The greeting be upon you-asws and upon the souls which reside in your-asws courtyard! Upon you all from me be the Greeting of Allah-azwj forever, for as long as I remain and the night and the day remain!
يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَظُمَتِ الْمُصِيبَةُ بِكَ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ فَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ أُمَّةً أَسَّسَتْ أَسَاسَ الظُّلْمِ وَ الْجَوْرِ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ أُمَّةً دَفَعَتْكُمْ عَنْ مَقَامِكُمْ وَ أَزَالَتْكُمْ عَنْ مَرَاتِبِكُمُ الَّتِي رَتَّبَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِيهَا وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ أُمَّةً قَتَلَتْكَ وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْمُمَهِّدِينَ لَهُمْ بِالتَّمْكِينِ مِنْ قِتَالِكُمْ
O Abu Abdullah-asws! The tragedy with you-asws is magnified upon us, and upon entirety of people of the skies. May Allah-azwj Curse the community which laid the foundation of the injustice and the tyranny upon you-asws, People-asws of the Household, and my Allah-azwj Curse the community which repelled you-asws from your-asws positions and moved you-asws away from your-asws ranks which Allah-azwj had Ranked you-asws in, and may Allah-azwj Curse the community which killed you-asws, and may Allah-azwj Curse the community which paved their way by enabling them to fight you-asws!

And it is reported by Muhammad Bin Khalid Al Tayalisi from Sayf Bin Ameyra who said,
‘I went out with Safwan Bin Mihran Al Jammal and a group of our companions to Al Ghary after Abu Abdullah-asws had gone out. We travelled from the (Holy) enclosure to the city. When were free from the Ziyarat, Safwan turned his face to a corner of Abu Abdullah-asws. He said to us, ‘You should be visiting Al-Husayn-asws from this place, from by the head of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, from over here, and gesture’, and Abu Abdullah-asws had gestured to him-asws and I was with him-asws’.
قَالَ فَدَعَا صَفْوَانُ بِالزِّيَارَةِ الَّتِي رَوَاهَا عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فِي يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ وَدَّعَ فِي دُبُرِهِمَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ أَوْمَى إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بِالسَّلَامِ مُنْصَرِفاً بِوَجْهِهِ نَحْوَهُ وَ وَدَّعَ وَ كَانَ فِيمَا دَعَاهُ فِي دُبُرِهَا
He (the narrator) said, ‘Safwan called for the Ziyarat which was reported by Al-qamah Bin Muhammad Al-Hazrami, from Abu Abdullah-asws during the day of Ashura. Then he prayed two units Salat by the head of Amir Al-Momineen-asws and bade farewell to Amir Al-Momineen-asws in its end, and gestured toward Al-Husayn-asws with the greeting, turning his face toward him-asws and bade farewell, and it was among what he supplicated in its end:
يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا مُجِيبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ يَا كَاشِفَ كُرَبِ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ يَا غِيَاثَ الْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ وَ يَا صَرِيخَ الْمُسْتَصْرِخِينَ
‘O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Responder to supplication of the desperate! O Remover of the distress of the distressed! O Helper of the seekers of help, and O Listener of the seekers of help!
يَا مَنْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيَ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ وَ يَا مَنْ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَ قَلْبِهِ يَا مَنْ هُوَ بِالْمَنْظَرِ الْأَعْلَى وَ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ وَ يَا مَنْ هُوَ الرَّحْمنُ الرَّحِيمُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوى وَ يَا مَنْ يَعْلَمُ خائِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ وَ ما تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ وَ يَا مَنْ لَا تَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ خَافِيَةٌ
O the One Who is nearer to me than the jugular vein, and O One Who Intervenes between the person and his heart! O the One Who is with the Exalted Scenarios, and with the clear horizon, and O the One Who is the Beneficent, the Merciful even upon the Throne, and O the One Who Knows treachery of the eyes and what the chests conceal, and O the One nothing hidden is hidden from Him-azwj!
وَ يَا مَنْ لَا تَشْتَبِهُ عَلَيْهِ الْأَصْوَاتُ وَ يَا مَنْ لَا تُغَلِّطُهُ الْحَاجَاتُ وَ يَا مَنْ لَا يُبْرِمُهُ إِلْحَاحُ الْمُلِحِّينَ يَا مُدْرِكَ كُلِّ فَوْتٍ وَ يَا جَامِعَ كُلِّ شَمْلٍ وَ يَا بَارِئَ النُّفُوسِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ يَا مَنْ هُوَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي شَأْنٍ يَا قَاضِيَ الْحَاجَاتِ يَا مُنَفِّسَ الْكُرُبَاتِ يَا مُعْطِيَ السُّؤَالاتِ يَا وَلِيَّ الرَّغَبَاتِ يَا كَافِيَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ يَا مَنْ يَكْفِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَا يَكْفِي مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ
And O the One the voices are not confusing to Him-azwj, and O the One the needs do not make Him-azwj err, and O the One the insistence of the insisting one does not tire! O Realiser of every missing, and O Gatherer of every family, and O Maker of the souls after the death! O the One Who is in 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 Who Suffices from all things and nothing suffices from Him-azwj, neither in the skies nor the earth!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ بِحَقِّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ بِحَقِّ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ فَإِنِّي بِهِمْ أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا وَ بِهِمْ أَتَوَسَّلُ وَ بِهِمْ أَتَشَفَّعُ إِلَيْكَ وَ بِحَقِّهِمْ أَسْأَلُكَ وَ أُقْسِمُ وَ أَعْزِمُ عَلَيْكَ
I ask You-azwj by the right of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, 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 position of mine, and I seek means through them-asws and seek intercession to You-azwj through them-asws, and by their-asws rights I ask You-azwj, and vow and determine upon You-azwj!
وَ بِالشَّأْنِ الَّذِي لَهُمْ عِنْدَكَ وَ بِالْقَدْرِ 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 فَضْلِ الْعَالَمِينَ حَتَّى فَاقَ فَضْلُهُمْ فَضْلَ الْعَالَمِينَ
And by the glory which is for them in Your-azwj Presence, and by the worth which is for them-asws in You-azwj Presence, and by which You-azwj have Merited them-asws over the worlds, and by Your-azwj Name which You-azwj Made it to be in their-asws possession, and by it You-azwj Specialised them-asws apart from the worlds, and by it You-azwj Manifested them-asws, and Manifested their-asws merits from merits of the worlds until their-asws merit surpassed merits of the worlds!
أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَكْشِفَ عَنِّي غَمِّي وَ هَمِّي وَ كَرْبِي وَ تَكْفِيَنِي الْمُهِمَّ مِنْ أُمُورِي وَ تَقْضِيَ عَنِّي دَيْنِي وَ تُجِيرَنِي مِنَ الْفَقْرِ وَ تُجِيرَنِي مِنَ الْفَاقَةِ وَ تُغْنِيَنِي عَنِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ إِلَى الْمَخْلُوقِينَ وَ تَكْفِيَنِي هَمَّ مَنْ أَخَافُ هَمَّهُ وَ عُسْرَ مَنْ أَخَافُ عُسْرَهُ وَ حُزُونَةَ مَنْ أَخَافُ حُزُونَتَهُ
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Remove from me my sadness, and my worries, and my distress, and Suffice me of my important matters, and Pay off my debts from me, and Shelter me from the poverty and Shelter me from the destitution, and Enrich me from the asking to the created beings, and Suffice me of the worries of the one I fear his worry, and difficulty of the one I fear his difficulty and grief of the one I fear his grief!
وَ شَرَّ مَنْ أَخَافُ شَرَّهُ وَ مَكْرَ مَا أَخَافُ مَكْرَهُ وَ بَغْيَ مَا أَخَافُ بَغْيَهُ وَ جَوْرَ مَا أَخَافُ جَوْرَهُ وَ سُلْطَانَ مَا أَخَافُ سُلْطَانَهُ وَ كَيْدَ مَنْ أَخَافُ كَيْدَهُ وَ مَقْدُرَةَ مَا أَخَافُ بَلَاءَ مَقْدُرَتِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ تَرُدَّ عَنِّي كَيْدَ الْكَيَدَةِ وَ مَكْرَ الْمَكَرَةِ
And evil of the one I fear his evil, and plot of the one I fear his plot, 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 trap of the one I hear his trap, and power of the one I fear the affliction of his power upon me, and Repel from me trap of the trappers and plot of the plotters!
اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي فَأَرِدْهُ وَ مَنْ كَادَنِي فَكِدْهُ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي كَيْدَهُ وَ مَكْرَهُ وَ بَأْسَهُ وَ أَمَانِيَّهُ وَ امْنَعْهُ عَنِّي كَيْفَ شِئْتَ وَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ
O Allah-azwj! One Who intends me, Intend him, and one who traps me, Trap him and Turn his trap and his plot away from me, and his evil, and his prevention, and Prevent him from me however You-azwj Desire and whenever You-azwj Desire!
اللَّهُمَّ اشْغَلْهُ عَنِّي بِفَقْرٍ لَا تَجْبُرُهُ وَ بِبَلَاءٍ لَا تَسْتُرُهُ وَ بِفَاقَةٍ لَا تَسُدُّهَا وَ بِسُقْمٍ لَا تُعَافِيهِ وَ ذُلٍّ لَا تُعِزُّهُ وَ بِمَسْكَنَةٍ لَا تَجْبُرُهَا
O Allah-azwj! Pre-occupy him from me with poverty which cannot be mended, and affliction which cannot be concealed, and destitution which cannot be blocked, and sickness which cannot be treated, and disgrace which he cannot gain honour, and with neediness which cannot be mended!
اللَّهُمَّ اضْرِبْ بِالذُّلِّ نُصْبَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَ أَدْخِلْ عَلَيْهِ الْفَقْرَ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ وَ الْعِلَّةَ 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 وَ أَدْخِلْ عَلَيْهِ فِي جَمِيعِ ذَلِكَ السُّقْمَ وَ لَا تَشْفِهِ حَتَّى تَجْعَلَ ذَلِكَ شُغُلًا شَاغِلًا بِهِ عَنِّي وَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي وَ اكْفِنِي
O Allah-azwj! Strike humiliation before his eyes and bring poverty into his home, and affliction and sickness into his body, until it pre-occupies him with an overwhelming preoccupation that leaves him no relief, and make him forget my mention just as it has made him forget Your-azwj Mention! Seize from him his hearing, his sight, his tongue, his hand, his foot, his heart, and all his limbs, and inflict upon him sickness in all of that, and do not cure him until You-azwj Make that a consuming preoccupation that diverts him from me and from mentioning me, and Suffice me against him!
يَا كَافِيَ مَا لَا يَكْفِي سِوَاكَ فَإِنَّكَ الْكَافِي لَا كَافِيَ سِوَاكَ وَ مُفَرِّجٌ لَا مُفَرِّجَ سِوَاكَ وَ مُغِيثٌ لَا مُغِيثَ سِوَاكَ وَ جَارٌ لَا جَارَ سِوَاكَ
O the One Who Suffices for that which none other than You-azwj can Suffice, for You-azwj are the Sufficer, there is no sufficer besides You-azwj, and the Reliever, there is no reliever besides You-azwj, and the Helper, there is no helper besides You-azwj, and the Protector, there is no protector besides You-azwj!
خَابَ مَنْ كَانَ جَارُهُ سِوَاكَ وَ مُغِيثُهُ سِوَاكَ وَ مَفْزَعُهُ إِلَى سِوَاكَ وَ مَهْرَبُهُ وَ مَلْجَاهُ إِلَى غَيْرِكَ وَ مَنْجَاهُ مِنْ مَخْلُوقٍ غَيْرِكَ فَأَنْتَ ثِقَتِي وَ رَجَائِي وَ مَفْزَعِي وَ مَهْرَبِي وَ مَلْجَئِي وَ مَنْجَايَ فَبِكَ أَسْتَفْتِحُ وَ بِكَ أَسْتَنْجِحُ وَ بِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَتَوَسَّلُ وَ أَتَشَفَّعُ
Disappointed is the one whose protector is other than You-azwj, whose helper is other than You-azwj, whose refuge is to other than You-azwj, whose escape and shelter are other than You-azwj, and whose salvation is sought from a creation other than You-azwj! So, You-azwj are my trust, my hope, my refuge, my escape, my shelter, and my salvation. Through You I-azwj seek openings, and through You-azwj I seek success, and by Muhammad-saww and the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww I turn toward You-azwj and seek means and intercession!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ لَكَ الشُّكْرُ وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمُشْتَكَى وَ أَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ
I ask You-azwj O Allah-azwj, O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise and for You-azwj is the thanks, and to You-azwj is the complaint, and Your-azwj are the Aider!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ 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 هَمَّهُ وَ غَمَّهُ وَ كَرْبَهُ وَ كَفَيْتَهُ هَوْلَ عَدُوِّهِ
I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, O Allah-azwj, O Allah-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 position of mine, just as You -azwj had Removed from Your-azwj Prophet-saww, his-saww worries, and his-saww sadness, and his-saww distress, and Sufficed him-asws of the horrors 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 مَا أَخَافُ مَئُونَتَهُ وَ هَمَّ مَا أَخَافُ هَمَّهُ بِلَا مَئُونَةٍ عَلَى نَفْسِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ اصْرِفْنِي بِقَضَاءِ حَوَائِجِي وَ كِفَايَةِ مَا أَهَمَّنِي هَمُّهُ مِنْ أَمْرِ آخِرَتِي وَ دُنْيَايَ
Remove from me just as You-azwj had Removed from him-saww, and Relieve from me just as You-azwj had Relieved 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 the burden of what I fear its burden, and worry of what I fear its worry without any burden upon myself from that, and Return me with my needs fulfilled, and Sufficing of what worries me from matters of my Hereafter and my world!
يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْكَ مِنِّي سَلَامُ اللَّهِ أَبَداً مَا بَقِيَ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ وَ لَا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَتِكُمَا وَ لَا فَرَّقَ اللَّهُ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكُمَا
O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Upon you-asws from me be the Greeting of Allah-azwj forever, for as long as the night and the day remain, and may Allah-azwj not Make it last of the pacts of my visiting you-asws both, and may Allah-azwj not Separate between me and you-asws both!
اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي حَيَاةَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ وَ أَمِتْنِي مَمَاتَهُمْ وَ تَوَفَّنِي عَلَى مِلَّتِهِمْ وَ احْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَتِهِمْ وَ لَا تُفَرِّقْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُمْ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ أَبَداً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ
O Allah-azwj! Cause me to live the life of Muhammad-saww and his-saww offspring, and Cause me to die their-asws expiries, and Cause me to die upon their-asws religion, and Resurrect me in their-asws group, and do not Separate between me and them-asws for the blink of an eye, ever, in the world and the Hereafter!
يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَتَيْتُكُمَا زَائِراً وَ مُتَوَسِّلًا إِلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّي وَ رَبِّكُمَا مُتَوَجِّهاً إِلَيْهِ بِكُمَا وَ مُسْتَشْفِعاً بِكُمَا إِلَى اللَّهِ فِي حَاجَتِي هَذِهِ
O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and O Abu Abdullah-asws! I have come to you-asws as a visitor and seeking means to Allah-azwj, my Lord-azwj and your-asws Lord-azwj, diverting to Him-azwj through you-asws, and seeking intercession to Allah-azwj through you-asws regarding this need of mine!
فَاشْفَعَا لِي فَإِنَّ لَكُمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الْمَقَامَ الْمَحْمُودَ وَ الْجَاهَ الْوَجِيهَ وَ الْمَنْزِلَ الرَّفِيعَ وَ الْوَسِيلَةَ إِنِّي أَنْقَلِبُ عَنْكُمَا مُنْتَظِراً لِتَنَجُّزِ الْحَاجَةِ وَ قَضَائِهَا وَ نَجَاحِهَا مِنَ اللَّهِ بِشَفَاعَتِكُمَا لِي إِلَى اللَّهِ فِي ذَلِكَ
Intercede for me, for there is the praiseworthy position for both of you-asws in the Presence of Allah-azwj, and the honoured rank, the elevated position, and the means of nearness. Indeed, I turn away from you-asws awaiting the fulfilment, accomplishment, and success of my need from Allah-azwj through your-asws intercession for me before Allah-azwj in that matter!
فَلَا أَخِيبُ وَ لَا يَكُونُ مُنْقَلَبِي مُنْقَلَباً خَائِباً خَاسِراً بَلْ يَكُونُ مُنْقَلَبِي مُنْقَلَباً رَاجِحاً مُفْلِحاً مُنْجِحاً مُسْتَجَاباً لِي بِقَضَاءِ جَمِيعِ حَوَائِجِي وَ تَشْفَعَا لِي إِلَى اللَّهِ أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
So, I will not be disappointed, and my return will not be a failed and lost return. Rather, my return will be one of success, prosperity, achievement, and acceptance, with all my needs fulfilled. Intercede for me before Allah-azwj, that I may return with what Allah-azwj Desires. There is neither might nor strength except through Allah-azwj.
مُفَوِّضاً أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ مُلْجِئاً ظَهْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ مُتَوَكِّلًا عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ أَقُولُ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَ كَفَى سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ دَعَا لَيْسَ لِي وَرَاءَ اللَّهِ وَ وَرَاءَكُمْ
I entrust my matter to Allah-azwj, I seek refuge in Allah-azwj, I rely upon Allah-azwj, and I say, Allah-azwj is sufficient for me, and He-azwj is enough. Allah-azwj Hears whoever calls upon Him-azwj. I have no one beyond Allah-azwj and beyond you-asws!
يَا سَادَتِي مُنْتَهًى مَا شَاءَ رَبِّي كَانَ وَ مَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ أَسْتَوْدِعُكُمَا اللَّهَ وَ لَا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنِّي إِلَيْكُمَا انْصَرَفْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ مَوْلَايَ وَ أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
O my chiefs! Ultimately, whatever my Lord-azwj Desires happens, and whatever He-azwj does not Desire does not happen, and there is neither might nor strength except through Allah-azwj! I entrust you-asws both to Allah-azwj, and may Allah-azwj not Make this the last of my visits to you. I shall not leave O my chief, O my master, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and you-asws O Abu Abdullah-asws!
يَا سَيِّدِي وَ سَلَامِي عَلَيْكُمَا مُتَّصِلٌ مَا اتَّصَلَ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ وَاصِلٌ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْكُمَا غَيْرُ مَحْجُوبٍ عَنْكُمَا سَلَامِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَ أَسْأَلُهُ بِحَقِّكُمَا أَنْ يَشَاءَ ذَلِكَ وَ يَفْعَلَ فَ إِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
O my chief, and my greeting be upon you-asws both, continuous for as long as the night and the day continue, connecting that to you-asws without my greeting being veiled from you-asws, if Allah-azwj so Desires, and I ask Him-azwj by your-asws rights, if He-azwj Desires that and Does, for He-azwj is Praised, Glorified!
انْقَلَبْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي عَنْكُمَا تَائِباً حَامِداً لِلَّهِ شَاكِراً رَاجِياً لِلْإِجَابَةِ غَيْرَ آيِسٍ وَ لَا قَانِطٍ آئِباً عَائِداً رَاجِعاً إِلَى زِيَارَتِكُمَا غَيْرَ رَاغِبٍ عَنْكُمَا وَ لَا مِنْ زِيَارَتِكُمَا بَلْ رَاجِعٌ عَائِدٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
I am departing from you-asws O my chiefs, repentant, praising to Allah-azwj, thankful, hoping for the Response without despair returning and coming back again to visit you-asws, neither turning away from you-asws nor from your-asws visitation, but rather returning and coming back, if Allah-azwj so Desires, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj!
يَا سَادَتِي رَغِبْتُ إِلَيْكُمَا وَ إِلَى زِيَارَتِكُمَا بَعْدَ أَنْ زَهِدَ فِيكُمَا وَ فِي زِيَارَتِكُمَا أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا فَلَا خَيَّبَنِيَ اللَّهُ مِمَّا رَجَوْتُ وَ مَا أَمَّلْتُ فِي زِيَارَتِكُمَا إِنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ
O my chiefs! I have turned to you-asws and to your-asws visitation after the people of the world have turned away from you-asws and from visiting you-asws! May Allah-azwj not disappoint me in what I have hoped and longed for in your visitation. Indeed, He-azwj is near and Responsive!’’
قَالَ سَيْفٌ فَسَأَلْتُ صَفْوَانَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ لَمْ يَأْتِنَا بِهَذَا عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّمَا أَتَانَا بِدُعَاءِ الزِّيَارَةِ
Sayf said, ‘I asked Safwan, I said to him, ‘Alqama Bin Muhammad did not come to us with this from Abu Ja’far-asws. But rather he had come to us with a supplication of the Ziyarat!’
فَقَالَ صَفْوَانُ وَرَدْتُ مَعَ سَيِّدِي أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِلَى هَذَا الْمَكَانِ فَفَعَلَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي فَعَلْنَاهُ فِي زِيَارَتِنَا وَ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ عِنْدَ الْوَدَاعِ بَعْدَ أَنْ صَلَّى كَمَا صَلَّيْنَا وَ وَدَّعَ كَمَا وَدَّعْنَاهُ
Safwan said, ‘I had arrived with my chief Abu Abdullah-asws to this place, and he-asws did similar to which we have done regarding our Ziyarat, and he-asws had bidden farewell with this farewell during bidding the farewell, after he-asws had prayed Salat just as we prayed, and he-asws bade farewell just as we have bidden farewell!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي صَفْوَانُ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع تَعَاهَدْ هَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةَ وَ ادْعُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَ زُرْ بِهِ فَإِنِّي ضَامِنٌ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى لِكُلِّ مَنْ زَارَ بِهَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةِ وَ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ مِنْ قُرْبٍ أَوْ بُعْدٍ إِنَّ زِيَارَتَهُ مَقْبُولَةٌ وَ سَعْيَهُ مَشْكُورٌ وَ سَلَامَهُ وَاصِلٌ غَيْرُ مَحْجُوبٍ وَ حَاجَتَهُ مَقْضِيَّةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى بَالِغاً مَا بَلَغَتْ وَ لَا يُخَيِّبُهُ
Then Safwan said to me, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to me: ‘Preserve this Ziyarat and bid farewell with this supplication and perform visitation with it, for I-asws am a guarantor based upon Allah-azwj the Exalted for every one who visits with this Ziyarat and supplicates with this supplication, from near or far, that his Ziyarat is Accepted, and his striving Appreciated, and his greeting will arrive without being barred, and his need would be fulfilled from Allah-azwj the Exalted, reaching whatever it may reach, and He-azwj will not disappoint him!
يَا صَفْوَانُ وَجَدْتُ هَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةَ مَضْمُونَةً بِهَذَا الضَّمَانِ عَنْ أَبِي وَ أَبِي عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع مَضْمُوناً بِهَذَا الضَّمَانِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ عَنْ أَخِيهِ الْحَسَنِ مَضْمُوناً بِهَذَا الضَّمَانِ وَ الْحَسَنُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع- مَضْمُوناً بِهَذَا الضَّمَانِ وَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَضْمُوناً بِهَذَا الضَّمَانِ وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَنْ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع مَضْمُوناً بِهَذَا الضَّمَانِ وَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَضْمُوناً بِهَذَا الضَّمَانِ
O Safwan! I-asws found this Ziyarat guaranteeing with this guarantee from my-asws father-asws, and my-asws father-asws from Ali Bin Al-Husayn-asws, guaranteeing with this guarantee from Al-Husayn-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws from his-asws brother-asws Al-Hassan-asws guaranteeing with this guarantee, and Al-Hassan-asws from his-asws father-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws guaranteeing with this guarantee, and Amir Al-Momineen-asws from Rasool-Allah-saww guaranteeing with this guarantee, and Rasool-Allah-saww from Jibraeel-as guaranteeing with this guarantee, and Jibraeel-as from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Guaranteeing with this Guarantee: –
وَ قَدْ آلَى اللَّهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنَّ مَنْ زَارَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع بِهَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةِ مِنْ قُرْبٍ أَوْ بُعْدٍ وَ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ قَبِلْتُ مِنْهُ زِيَارَتَهُ وَ شَفَّعْتُهُ فِي مَسْأَلَتِهِ بَالِغاً مَا بَلَغَتْ وَ أَعْطَيْتُهُ سُؤْلَهُ ثُمَّ لَا يَنْقَلِبُ عَنِّي خَائِباً وَ أَقْلِبُهُ مَسْرُوراً قَرِيراً عَيْنُهُ بِقَضَاءِ حَاجَتِهِ وَ الْفَوْزِ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَ الْعِتْقِ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ شَفَّعْتُهُ فِي كُلِّ مَنْ شَفَعَ خَلَا نَاصِبٍ لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ
‘And Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Sworn upon Himself-azwj: that the one who visits Al-Husayn-asws with this Ziyarat, whether from near or far, and supplicates with this supplication, his Ziyarat will be Accepted from him, and he will be interceded for regarding his request, reaching whatever it may reach, and his request will be Granted, then he will not return from Me-azwj disappointed, and I-azwj will Turn him back joyful, his eyes delighted with his needs fulfilled, and the success with the Paradise, and the liberation from the Hellfire, and will be interceded for every one he intercedes for apart from one hostile to us-asws People-asws of the Household!
آلَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِذَلِكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ أَشْهَدَنَا بِمَا شَهِدَتْ بِهِ مَلَائِكَةُ مَلَكُوتِهِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ
Allah-azwj the Exalted has Sworn with that upon Himself, and we-asws testify with what the Angels of His-azwj Domains have testified upon that!
ثُمَّ قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ سُرُوراً وَ بُشْرَى لَكَ وَ سُرُوراً وَ بُشْرَى لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ إِلَى الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَدَامَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ سُرُورُكَ وَ سُرُورُ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ وَ شِيعَتِكُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْبَعْثِ
Then Jibraeel-as said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Allah-azwj has Sent me to you-saww with happiness and glad tidings to you-saww, and happiness and glad tidings to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and to the Imams-asws from your-saww sons-asws up to the Day of Qiyamah! O Muhammad-saww! May your-saww happiness and happiness of Ali-asws and (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and the Imams-asws and your-asws Shias be constant up to the Day of Resurrection!’’
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي صَفْوَانُ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَا صَفْوَانُ إِذَا حَدَثَ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ فَزُرْ بِهَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةِ مِنْ حَيْثُ كُنْتَ وَ ادْعُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَ سَلْ رَبَّكَ حَاجَتَكَ تَأْتِكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ غَيْرُ مُخْلِفٍ وَعْدَهُ رَسُولَهُ ص بِمَنِّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ.
Then Safwan said to me, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to me: ‘O Safwan! When a need occurs for you, perform visitation, with this Ziyarat from wherever you may be, and supplicate with this supplication, and ask your Lord-azwj of your need, it will be given to you from Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj does not Break His-azwj Promise to His-azwj Rasool-saww, with His-azwj Conferment, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj!’’[22]
4- ثُمَّ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الْمِصْبَاحِ زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى فِي يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى سَيِّدِي أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع فِي يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ فَأَلْقَيْتُهُ كَاسِفَ اللَّوْنِ ظَاهِرَ الْحُزْنِ وَ دُمُوعُهُ تَنْحَدِرُ مِنْ عَيْنَيْهِ كَاللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمُتَسَاقِطِ فَقُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مِمَّ بُكَاؤُكَ لَا أَبْكَى اللَّهُ عَيْنَيْكَ
Then the Sheykh, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said in ‘Al-Misbah’ – There is another Ziyarat during the day of Ashura reported by Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘I entered to see my chief Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws during the day of Ashura. I met him-asws being pale-faced, visibly grief-stricken, and his-asws tears were rolling from his-asws eyes like the pearl! I said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! From what is your-asws crying? May Allah-azwj not Make your-asws eyes cry!’
فَقَالَ لِي أَ وَ فِي غَفْلَةٍ أَنْتَ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ع أُصِيبَ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ
He-asws said to me: ‘And are you in heedlessness? Don’t you know that Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws was afflicted in the likes of this day?’
قُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي فَمَا قَوْلُكَ فِي صَوْمِهِ
I said, ‘O my chief! What is your-asws word regarding fasting it?’
فَقَالَ لِي صُمْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَبْيِيتٍ وَ أَفْطِرْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَشْمِيتٍ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ يَوْمَ صَوْمٍ كَمَلًا وَ لْيَكُنْ إِفْطَارُكَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ بِسَاعَةٍ عَلَى شَرْبَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَإِنَّهُ فِي مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَجَلَّتِ الْهَيْجَاءُ عَنْ آلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ انْكَشَفَتِ الْمَلْحَمَةُ عَنْهُمْ وَ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْهُمْ ثَلَاثُونَ صَرِيعاً فِي مَوَالِيهِمْ يَعِزُّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَصْرَعُهُمْ وَ لَوْ كَانَ فِي الدُّنْيَا يَوْمَئِذٍ حَيّاً لَكَانَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ هُوَ الْمُعَزَّى بِهِمْ
He-asws said to me: ‘Fast it without prior intention, and break it without showing joy, and do not make it a day of complete fasting. Let your breaking of the fast be an hour after the Asr Salat with a sip of water, for it was at such a time on that day that the turmoil lifted from the Progeny-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, and the battle was cleared from them-asws. On the ground lay thirty slain from among their supporters, whose deaths weighed heavily upon Rasool-Allah-saww. Had he-saww been alive in this world on that day, he-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, he-saww would have been the one to be consoling them-asws!’
قَالَ وَ بَكَى أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع حَتَّى اخْضَلَّتْ لِحْيَتُهُ بِدُمُوعِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمَّا خَلَقَ النُّورَ خَلَقَهُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي تَقْدِيرِهِ فِي أَوَّلِ يَوْمِ شَهْرٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ وَ خَلَقَ الظُّلْمَةَ فِي يَوْمِ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ فِي مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَعْنِي الْعَاشِرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ الْمُحَرَّمِ فِي تَقْدِيرِهِ وَ جَعَلَ لِكُلِّ مِنْهُمَا شِرْعَةً وَ مِنْهَاجاً
He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abu Abdullah-asws cried until his-asws beard was moistened with his-asws tears. Then he-asws said: ‘When Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the light, Created it on the Day of Friday, and Determined it in the first day of a month of Ramazan, and Created the darkness during the day of Wednesday on the day of Ashura, similar to that day, meaning the tenth of the month of Muharram in His-azwj Determination, and Made a law and a manifesto for each of them!
يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سِنَانٍ إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ مَا تَأْتِي بِهِ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ أَنْ تَعْمِدَ إِلَى ثِيَابٍ طَاهِرَةٍ فَتَلْبَسَهَا وَ تَتَسَلَّبَ قَالَ وَ مَا التَّسَلُّبُ
O Abdullah Bin Sinan! The best of what you can come with during this day is that you deliberate to clean clothes, so you wear them, and the ‘Tasleeb’’.
قَالَ تُحَلِّلُ أَزْرَارَكَ وَ تَكْشِفُ عَنْ ذِرَاعَيْكَ كَهَيْئَةِ أَصْحَابِ الْمَصَائِبِ ثُمَّ تَخْرُجُ إِلَى أَرْضٍ مُقْفِرَةٍ أَوْ مَكَانٍ لَا يَرَاكَ بِهِ أَحَدٌ أَوْ تَعْمِدُ إِلَى مَنْزِلٍ لَكَ خَالٍ أَوْ فِي خَلْوَةٍ مُنْذُ حِينِ يَرْتَفِعُ النَّهَارُ فَتُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ تُحْسِنُ رُكُوعَهَا وَ سُجُودَهَا وَ تُسَلِّمُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى سُورَةَ الْحَمْدِ وَ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْحَمْدَ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
He-asws said: ‘Unbuttoning your buttons, and uncovering from your forearms, appearing like the afflicted people. Then you go out to a deserted land, or a place no one can see you in it, or you deliberate an empty house of yours, or be in isolation since the day rises. Pray four units Salat, being excellent of its Ruk’u and its Sajdah, and perform Salaam between every two units, regarding in the first Surah Al Hamd and Al Kafiroun, and in the second Surah Al Hamd and Al Tawheed!
ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى الْحَمْدَ وَ سُورَةَ الْأَحْزَابِ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْحَمْدَ وَ سُورَةَ إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ أَوْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ثُمَّ تُسَلِّمُ وَ تُحَوِّلُ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ مَضْجَعِهِ فَتُمَثِّلُ لِنَفْسِكَ مَصْرَعَهُ وَ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ وَ أَهْلِهِ وَ تُسَلِّمُ وَ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ وَ تَلْعَنُ قَاتِلِيهِ فَتَبَرَّأُ مِنْ أَفْعَالِهِمْ يَرْفَعُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَكَ بِذَلِكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِنَ الدَّرَجَاتِ وَ يَحُطُّ عَنْكَ مِنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ
Then pray two units Salat, reading in the first Surah Al Hamd and Surah Al Ahzaab, and in the second Al Hamd and Surah Munafiqoun, or whatever is easy from the Quran. The perform Salaam and turn your face toward the grave of Al-Husayn-asws and his-asws resting place. Imagine his-asws slaying, and the ones who were with him-asws from his-asws sons-asws, and his-asws family-asws, and greeting and pray Salat upon him-asws and curse his-asws killers. Disavow from their actions. Due to that, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Raise for you ranks in the Paradise, and Offload the evil deeds from you!
ثُمَّ تَسْعَى مِنَ الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ إِنْ كَانَ صَحْرَاءَ أَوْ فَضَاءً أَوْ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ خُطُوَاتٍ تَقُولُ فِي ذَلِكَ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَ إِنَّا إِلَيْهِ راجِعُونَ رِضًى بِقَضَائِهِ وَ تَسْلِيماً لِأَمْرِهِ وَ لْيَكُنْ عَلَيْكَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْكَآبَةُ وَ الْحُزْنُ وَ أَكْثِرْ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ الِاسْتِرْجَاعِ فِي ذَلِكَ
Then walk some steps from the place which you are in, whether it was desert, or open land, or whichever thing it may be, saying during that, ‘We are for Allah-azwj and are returning to Him-azwj! Pleased with His-azwj Decree and submitting to His-azwj Command!’, and during that let there be upon you the gloom, and the grief, and frequent from the Zikr of Allah-azwj the Glorious, and saying, We are for Allah-azwj and are returning to Him-azwj’ We are for Allah-azwj and are returning to Him-azwj during that.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ سَعْيِكَ وَ فِعْلِكَ هَذَا فَقِفْ فِي مَوْضِعِكَ الَّذِي صَلَّيْتَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ عَذِّبِ الْفَجَرَةَ الَّذِينَ شَاقُّوا رَسُولَكَ وَ حَارَبُوا أَوْلِيَاءَكَ وَ عَبَدُوا غَيْرَكَ وَ اسْتَحَلُّوا مَحَارِمَكَ وَ الْعَنِ الْقَادَةَ وَ الْأَتْبَاعَ وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُمْ فَخَبَّ وَ أَوْضَعَ مَعَهُمْ أَوْ رَضِيَ بِفِعْلِهِمْ لَعْناً كَثِيراً
When you are free from your walk and this deed of yours, pause in your place which you had prayed Salat in, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Punish the wicked who opposed Your-azwj Rasool-saww, fought against Your-azwj allies, worshipped others besides You-azwj, and deemed Your-azwj sacred laws permissible! Curse the leaders and the followers, and all those who supported them, aided them, or were pleased with their actions, with abundant Curses!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْ صَلَوَاتِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ اسْتَنْقِذْهُمْ مِنْ أَيْدِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَ الْمُضِلِّينَ وَ الْكَفَرَةِ الْجَاحِدِينَ وَ افْتَحْ لَهُمْ فَتْحاً يَسِيراً وَ أَتِحْ لَهُمْ رُوحاً وَ فَرَجاً قَرِيباً وَ اجْعَلْ لَهُمْ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ عَلَى عَدُوِّكَ وَ عَدُوِّهِمْ سُلْطَاناً نَصِيراً
O Allah-azwj, and Hasten the relief of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Make Your-azwj Salawaat to be upon them-asws, and Save them from the hands of hypocrites and the straying ones, and the Kafirs, the rejectors, and Grant them-asws and easy victory, and Provide them with a spirit of peace and a near relief. Grant them from Your-azwj Presence a persistent helper against Your-azwj enemy and their-asws enemy!’
ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ وَ اقْنُتْ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَ قُلْ وَ أَنْتَ تُومِئُ إِلَى أَعْدَاءِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ
Then raise your hands and perform Qunout with this supplication and say while you are gesturing toward enemies of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws (and them-asws)!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ كَثِيراً مِنَ الْأُمَّةِ نَاصَبَتِ الْمُسْتَحْفَظِينَ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ وَ كَفَرَتْ بِالْكَلِمَةِ وَ عَكَفَتْ عَلَى الْقَادَةِ الظَّلَمَةِ وَ هَجَرَتِ الْكِتَابَ وَ السُّنَّةَ وَ عَدَلَتْ عَنِ الْحَبْلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ أَمَرْتَ بِطَاعَتِهِمَا وَ التَّمَسُّكِ بِهِمَا
O Allah-azwj! Indeed, many from the Ummah have shown hostility toward the entrusted Imams-asws disbelieved in the Word, followed oppressive leaders, abandoned the Book and the Sunnah, and turned away from the two cords You-azwj Commanded obedience to and adherence with.
فَأَمَاتَتِ الْحَقَّ وَ حَادَتْ عَنِ الْقَصْدِ وَ مَالَأَتِ الْأَحْزَابَ وَ حَرَّفَتِ الْكِتَابَ وَ كَفَرَتْ بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءَهَا وَ تَمَسَّكَتْ بِالْبَاطِلِ لَمَّا اعْتَرَضَهَا فَضَيَّعَتْ حَقَّكَ وَ أَضَلَّتْ خَلْقَكَ وَ قَتَلَتْ أَوْلَادَ نَبِيِّكَ وَ خِيَرَةَ عِبَادِكَ وَ حَمَلَةَ عِلْمِكَ وَ وَرَثَةَ حِكْمَتِكَ وَ وَحْيِكَ
They have brought death to the truth, deviated from the right path, allied with factions, distorted the Book, disbelieved in the truth when it came to them, and clung to falsehood when it presented itself. Thus, they neglected Your-azwj right, misled Your-azwj creation, killed the children of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, the chosen ones among Your-azwj servants, the bearers of Your-azwj Knowledge, and the inheritors of Your-azwj Wisdom and Revelation!
اللَّهُمَّ فَزَلْزِلْ أَقْدَامَ أَعْدَائِكَ وَ أَعْدَاءَ رَسُولِكَ وَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِ رَسُولِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Shake the feet of Your-azwj enemies, and enemies of Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and People-asws of Household of Your-azwj Rasool-saww!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَخْرِبْ دِيَارَهُمْ وَ افْلُلْ سِلَاحَهُمْ وَ خَالِفْ بَيْنَ كَلِمَتِهِمْ وَ فُتَّ فِي أَعْضَادِهِمْ وَ أَوْهِنْ كَيْدَهُمْ وَ اضْرِبْهُمْ بِسَيْفِكَ الْقَاطِعِ وَ ارْمِهِمْ بِحَجَرِكَ الدَّامِغِ وَ طُمَّهُمْ بِالْبَلَاءِ طَمّاً وَ قُمَّهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ قَمّاً وَ عَذِّبْهُمْ عَذَاباً نُكْراً وَ خُذْهُمْ بِالسِّنِينَ وَ الْمَثُلَاتِ الَّتِي أَهْلَكْتَ بِهَا أَعْدَاءَكَ إِنَّكَ ذُو نَقِمَةٍ مِنَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj, and Ruin their dwellings, Blunt their weapons, Divide their word, Weaken their strength, Diminish their power, Ruin their plots, Strike them with Your-azwj Decisive sword, Pelt them with Your-azwj crushing stones, Overwhelm them completely with affliction, Subdue them thoroughly with punishment, Torment them with a severe torment, and Seize them with years of hardship and exemplary punishments through which You-azwj Destroyed Your-azwj enemies! Indeed, You-azwj are the Avenger against the criminals!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ سُنَّتَكَ ضَائِعَةٌ وَ أَحْكَامَكَ مُعَطَّلَةٌ وَ عِتْرَةَ نَبِيِّكَ فِي الْأَرْضِ هَائِمَةٌ اللَّهُمَّ فَأَعِنِ الْحَقَّ وَ أَهْلَهُ وَ اقْمَعِ الْبَاطِلَ وَ أَهْلَهُ وَ مُنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِالنَّجَاةِ وَ اهْدِنَا إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَنَا وَ انْظِمْهُ بِفَرَجِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ اجْعَلْهُمْ لَنَا وُدّاً وَ اجْعَلْنَا لَهُمْ وَفْداً
O Allah-azwj! Indeed Your-azwj Sunnah is neglected, Your-azwj laws are suspended, and the Progeny-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww is wandering on the earth. O Allah-azwj! Support the truth and its people, Suppress falsehood and its followers, Grant us salvation, Guide us to faith, Hasten our relief, and Join it with the relief of Your-azwj Chosen ones! Make them-asws loving toward us, and make us among those who return to them-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَهْلِكْ مَنْ جَعَلَ يَوْمَ قَتْلِ ابْنِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ خِيَرَتِكَ عِيداً وَ اسْتَهَلَّ بِهِ فَرَحاً وَ مَرَحاً وَ خُذْ آخِرَهُمْ كَمَا أَخَذْتَ أَوَّلَهُمْ وَ أَضْعِفِ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَذَابَ وَ التَّنْكِيلَ عَلَىظَالِمِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ أَهْلِكْ أَشْيَاعَهُمْ وَ قَادَتَهُمْ وَ أَبِرْ حُمَاتَهُمْ وَ جَمَاعَتَهُمْ
O Allah-azwj, and Destroy the one who makes the day of killing the son-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-as as an Eid (festival), and begins it with joy, and Seize their last one just as You-azwj had Seized their first one, and O Allah-azwj, Double the Punishment and the Torture upon oppressors of People-asws of the Household of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and Destroy their adherent, and their leaders, and Break their protectors and their groups!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ ضَاعِفْ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ رَحْمَتَكَ وَ بَرَكَاتِكَ عَلَى عِتْرَةِ نَبِيِّكَ الْعِتْرَةِ الضَّائِعَةِ الْخَائِفَةِ الْمُسْتَذَلَّةِ بَقِيَّةٍ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ الطَّيِّبَةِ الزَّاكِيَةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ
O Allah-azwj, and Double Your-azwj Salawaat, and Your-azwj Mercy, and Your-azwj Blessings upon family of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, the wasted (of their-asws rights, the fearful, the humiliated remainders from the goodly tree, the pure, the Blessed!
وَ أَعْلِ اللَّهُمَّ كَلِمَتَهُمْ وَ أَفْلِجْ حُجَّتَهُمْ وَ اكْشِفِ الْبَلَاءَ وَ اللَّأْوَاءَ وَ حَنَادِسَ الْأَبَاطِيلِ وَ الْعَمَى عَنْهُمْ وَ ثَبِّتْ قُلُوبَ شِيعَتِهِمْ وَ حِزْبِكَ عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَ وَلَايَتِهِمْ وَ نُصْرَتِهِمْ وَ مُوَالاتِهِمْ
O Allah-azwj! Raise their-asws word high, make their-asws proof victorious, remove affliction, hardship, the darkness of falsehood, and blindness from them-asws. Strengthen the hearts of their-asws Shias and Your-asws party in obedience to You-asws, loyalty to them-asws, supporting them-asws, and befriending them-asws!
وَ أَعِنْهُمْ وَ امْنَحْهُمُ الصَّبْرَ عَلَى الْأَذَى فِيكَ وَ اجْعَلْ لَهُمْ أَيَّاماً مَشْهُودَةً وَ أَوْقَاتاً مَحْمُودَةً مَسْعُودَةً يُوشِكُ فِيهَا فَرَجُهُمْ وَ تُوجِبُ فِيهَا تَمْكِينَهُمْ وَ نَصْرَهُمْ كَمَا ضَمِنْتَ لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ فِي كِتَابِكَ الْمُنْزَلِ
Help them-asws and Grant them patience in enduring harm for Your-asws Sake. Grant them-asws days that are witnessed, times that are praiseworthy and blessed, in which their-asws relief is near, their-asws establishment and victory are assured, just as You-azwj Promised Your-azwj Chosen ones in Your-asws Revealed Book!
فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَ قَوْلُكَ الْحَقُ وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَ لَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضى لَهُمْ وَ لَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْناً يَعْبُدُونَنِي لا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئاً
You-azwj Said, and Your-azwj Word is the Truth: Allah Promises those of you who believe and do righteous deeds that He will Make them Caliphs in the earth just as He Made Caliphs, those from before them, and He will Establish their Religion for them which He Approves for them, and He will Exchange for them from afterwards, their fear into security. Worship Me and do not associate anything with Me! [24:55]!
اللَّهُمَّ اكْشِفْ غُمَّتَهُمْ يَا مَنْ لَا يَمْلِكُ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ إِلَّا هُوَ يَا وَاحِدُ يَا أَحَدُ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ وَ أَنَا يَا إِلَهِي عَبْدُكَ الْخَائِفُ مِنْكَ وَ الرَّاجِعُ إِلَيْكَ السَّائِلُ لَكَ الْمُقْبِلُ عَلَيْكَ اللَّاجِي إِلَى فِنَائِكَ الْعَالِمُ بِأَنَّهُ لَا مَلْجَأَ مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ
O Allah-azwj, Remove their sadness! O One no one Removes the harm except He-azwj! O the One, O First, O Living, O Eternal, and I, O my God-azwj, am Your-azwj servant, the fearful from You-azwj, the returning to You-azwj, the beggar to You-azwj, and the turning to You-azwj, the refugee to Your-azwj Courtyard, the knower that there is no shelter from You-azwj except to You-azwj!
فَتَقَبَّلِ اللَّهُمَّ دُعَائِي وَ اسْتَمِعْ يَا إِلَهِي عَلَانِيَتِي وَ نَجْوَايَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ رَضِيتَ عَمَلَهُ وَ قَبِلْتَ نُسُكَهُ وَ نَجَّيْتَهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْكَرِيمُ
O Allah-azwj! Accept my supplication, and O my God-azwj, Listen to my announcements and my whispers, and Make me from the ones You-azwj are Pleased with his works, and Accept his rituals, and Rescue him by Your-azwj Mercy! Surely You-azwj are the Mighty, the Benevolent!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ صَلِّ أَوَّلًا وَ آخِراً عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ارْحَمْ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ بِأَكْمَلِ وَ أَفْضَلِ مَا صَلَّيْتَ وَ بَارَكْتَ وَ تَرَحَّمْتَ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ مَلَائِكَتِكَ وَ حَمَلَةِ عَرْشِكَ بِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
O Allah-azwj, and Send Salawaat, firstly and lastly, upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Bless upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws, and Mercy Muhammad-saww, Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, with the most perfect and the best of what You-azwj have Sent, and Blessed, and Mercied upon Your-azwj Prophets-as and Your-azwj Messengers-as, and Your-azwj Angels, and Bearers of Your-azwj Throne with there is no god except You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ لَا تُفَرِّقْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ اجْعَلْنِي يَا مَوْلَايَ مِنْ شِيعَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمُ الطَّاهِرَةِ الْمُنْتَجَبَةِ وَ هَبْ لِيَ التَّمَسُّكَ بِحَبْلِهِمْ وَ الرِّضَا بِسَبِيلِهِمْ وَ الْأَخْذَ بِطَرِيقَتِهِمْ إِنَّكَ جَوَادٌ كَرِيمٌ
O Allah-azwj, and do not Separate between me and Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, may Your-azwj Salawaat be upon him-saww and upon them-asws, and Make me, O my Master, from Shias of Muhammad-saww, and Ali-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and their-asws offspring, the pure, the Selected, and Grant to me the adherence with their-asws rope, and the satisfaction with their-asws ways, and the taking with their-asws paths, You-azwj are Generous, Benevolent!’
ثُمَّ عَفِّرْ وَجْهَكَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ قُلْ يَا مَنْ يَحْكُمُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَ يَفْعَلُ ما يُرِيدُ أَنْتَ حَكَمْتَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مَحْمُوداً مَشْكُوراً فَعَجِّلْ يَا مَوْلَايَ فَرَجَهُمْ وَ فَرَجَنَا بِهِمْ فَإِنَّكَ ضَمِنْتَ إِعْزَازَهُمْ بَعْدَ الذِّلَّةِ وَ تَكْثِيرَهُمْ بَعْدَ الْقِلَّةِ وَ إِظْهَارَهُمْ بَعْدَ الْخُمُولِ يَا أَصْدَقَ الصَّادِقِينَ وَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
Then rub your face in the ground and say, ‘O One Who Judges whatever He-azwj Desires and Does whatever He-azwj Wants! You-azwj have Judged! For You-azwj is the Praise, praised and thanked! O my Master! Hasten their-asws relief and our relief through them-asws, for You-azwj have Guaranteed their-asws being honoured after the humiliation, and increase in their-asws numbers after the fewness, and their-asws manifestation after the obscurity, O most Truthful of the truthful ones, and O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا إِلَهِي وَ سَيِّدِي مُتَضَرِّعاً إِلَيْكَ بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ بَسْطَ أَمَلِي وَ التَّجَاوُزَ عَنِّي وَ قَبُولَ قَلِيلِ عَمَلِي وَ كَثِيرِهِ وَ الزِّيَادَةَ فِي أَيَّامِي وَ تَبْلِيغِي ذَلِكَ الْمَشْهَدَ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي مِمَّنْ يُدْعَى فَيُجِيبُ إِلَى طَاعَتِهِمْ وَ مُوَالاتِهِمْ وَ نَصْرِهِمْ وَ تُرِيَنِي ذَلِكَ قَرِيباً سَرِيعاً فِي عَافِيَةٍ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
I ask You-azwj, O my God-azwj, and my Chief, beseeching You-azwj due to Your-azwj Generosity and Your-azwj benevolence! Extend my wishes and Overlook from me, and Accept my few deeds and their more, and the Increase in my days, and Make me reach that Shrine, and to Make me from the one who are called so he answers to their-asws obedience and their-asws friendship, and helping them-asws, and Show me that near term, swiftly in well-being! You-asws are Able upon all things!’
ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ أَيَّامَكَ فَأَعِذْنِي يَا إِلَهِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ
Then raise your head toward the sky and say, ‘I seek Refuge with You-azwj from being from those who are not hoping for Your-azwj days! Refuge me, O my God-azwj, by Your-azwj Mercy, from that!
فَإِنَّ هَذَا أَفْضَلُ يَا ابْنَ سِنَانٍ مِنْ كَذَا وَ كَذَا حَجَّةً وَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا عُمْرَةً تَطَوَّعُهَا وَ تُنْفِقُ فِيهَا مَالَكَ وَ تَنْصِبُ فِيهَا بَدَنَكَ وَ تُفَارِقُ فِيهَا أَهْلَكَ وَ وَلَدَكَ
This is better, O Ibn Sinan, than such and such Hajj and such and such Umrah performed voluntarily, and spending your wealth in, and toiling your body, and separating from your family and your children in it!
وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يُعْطِي مَنْ صَلَّى هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ مُخْلِصاً وَ عَمِلَ هَذَا الْعَمَلَ مُوقِناً مُصَدِّقاً عَشْرَ خِصَالٍ مِنْهَا أَنْ يَقِيَهُ اللَّهُ مِيتَةَ السَّوْءِ وَ يُؤْمِنَهُ مِنَ الْمَكَارِهِ وَ الْفَقْرِ وَ لَا يُظْهِرَ عَلَيْهِ عَدُوّاً إِلَى أَنْ يَمُوتَ وَ يَقِيَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْجُنُونِ وَ الْجُذَامِ وَ الْبَرَصِ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَعْقَابٍ لَهُ وَ لَا يَجْعَلَ لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَ لَا لِأَوْلِيَائِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا عَلَى نَسْلِهِ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَعْقَابٍ سَبِيلًا
And know that Allah-azwj the Exalted Grants ten characteristics to the one who prays this Salat during this day and supplicates with this supplication sincerely, and does this deed with conviction, ratifying. From these is that Allah-azwj will Save him from the evil death, and Secure him from its abhorrence and the poverty, and not let an enemy prevail upon him until he dies, and Allah-azwj will Save him from the insanity, and the leprosy, and the vitiligo in himself and his children up to four generations of his, and Allah-azwj will not Make a way for the Satan-la nor his-la friends upon him, nor upon his offspring up to four generation!’
قَالَ ابْنُ سِنَانٍ فَانْصَرَفْتُ وَ أَنَا أَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي مَنَّ عَلَيَّ بِمَعْرِفَتِكُمْ وَ حُبِّكُمْ وَ أَسْأَلُهُ الْمَعُونَةَ عَلَى الْمُفْتَرَضِ عَلَيَّ مِنْ طَاعَتِكُمْ بِمَنِّهِ وَ رَحْمَتِهِ.
Ibn Sinan said, ‘I left and I was saying, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Conferred upon me with having recognised you-asws all, and having your-asws love, and I ask Him-azwj for the Assistance upon the obligations upon me of obeying you-asws all, with His-azwj Conferment and His-azwj Mercy!’’[23]
5- قَالَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْكُوفِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى مَوْلَايَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَ هُوَ مُتَغَيِّرُ اللَّوْنِ وَ دُمُوعُهُ تَنْحَدِرُ عَلَى خَدَّيْهِ كَاللُّؤْلُؤِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا سَيِّدِي مِمَّا بُكَاؤُكَ لَا أَبْكَى اللَّهُ عَيْنَيْكَ
He, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said, ‘We are reporting by our chain to Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al Himeyri, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al Kufy, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al Hazramy, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said,
‘I entered to see my master Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws on a day of Ashura and he-asws was of changed complexion, and his-asws tears were rolling upon his-asws cheeks like the pearls. I said to him-asws, ‘O my chief! What are you-asws crying from? May Allah-azwj not Make your-asws eyes cry!’
فَقَالَ لِي أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ أُصِيبَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع
He-asws said to me: ‘Don’t you know that in a day similar to this, Al-Husayn-asws was afflicted?’
فَقُلْتُ بَلَى يَا سَيِّدِي وَ إِنَّمَا أَتَيْتُكَ مُقْتَبِساً مِنْكَ فِيهِ عِلْماً وَ مُسْتَفِيداً مِنْكَ لِتُفِيدَنِي فِيهِ
I said, ‘Yes, O my chief, and rather I have come to you-asws seeking from you-asws knowledge regarding it, for you-asws to benefit me in it!’
قَالَ سَلْ عَمَّا بَدَا لَكَ وَ عَمَّا شِئْتَ
He-asws said: ‘Ask about whatever comes to you, and whatever you like!’
قُلْتُ مَا تَقُولُ يَا سَيِّدِي فِي صَوْمِهِ
I said, ‘What are you-asws saying, O my chief, regarding fasting it?’
قَالَ صُمْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَبْيِيتٍ وَ أَفْطِرْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَشْمِيتٍ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ يَوْماً كَامِلًا وَ لَكِنْ أَفْطِرْ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ بِسَاعَةٍ وَ لَوْ بِشَرْبَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَإِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَجَلَّتِ الْهَيْجَاءُ عَنْ آلِ الرَّسُولِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ وَ انْكَشَفَ الْمَلْحَمَةُ عَنْهُمْ وَ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْهُمْ ثَلَاثُونَ صَرِيعاً يَعِزُّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَصْرَعُهُمْ
He-asws said: ‘Fast it without prior intention and break the fast without seeking joy from others’ misfortune. Do not make it a full day, but break your fast an hour after Al-Asr, even if only with a sip of water, for at that very time on that day, the turmoil was lifted from the Progeny-asws of the Rasool-saww, may the greeting be upon him-asws and them-asws, and the battle ended for them-asws, while thirty of them-asws lay slain on the ground, and their-asws being slain was grievous upon Rasool-Allah-saww!’
قَالَ ثُمَّ بَكَى بُكَاءً شَدِيداً حَتَّى اخْضَلَّتْ لِحْيَتُهُ بِالدُّمُوعِ وَ قَالَ أَ تَدْرِي أَيَّ يَوْمٍ كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he-asws cried intensely until his-asws beard was moistened with the tears, and said: ‘Do you know which day was that day?’
قُلْتُ أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي يَا مَوْلَايَ
I said, ‘You-asws are more knowing with it than me, O my master!’
قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ النُّورَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ خَلَقَ الظُّلْمَةَ فِي يَوْمِ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ وَ جَعَلَ لِكُلِّ مِنْهُمَا شَرِيعَةً وَ مِنْهَاجاً
He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the light on the day of Friday in the first day of a month of Ramazan, and Created the darkness during the day of Wednesday on a day of Ashura, and Made a law and a program for each of them!
يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سِنَانٍ أَفْضَلُ مَا تَأْتِي بِهِ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ أَنْ تَعْمِدَ إِلَى ثِيَابٍ طَاهِرَةٍ فَتَلْبَسَهَا وَ تُحِلَّ أَزْرَارَكَ وَ تَكْشِفَ عَنْ ذِرَاعَيْكَ وَ عَنْ سَاقَيْكَ
O Abdullah Bin Sinan! The best of what you can come with on this day is that you deliberate to clean clothes and wear them, and unbutton your shirt and uncover from your forearms and from your ankles!
ثُمَّ تَخْرُجَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ مُقْفِرَةٍ حَيْثُ لَا يَرَاكَ أَحَدٌ أَوْ فِي دَارِكَ حِينَ يَرْتَفِعُ النَّهَارُ وَ تُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ تُسَلِّمُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى سُورَةَ الْحَمْدِ وَ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ سُورَةَ الْحَمْدِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ سُورَةَ الْحَمْدِ وَ سُورَةَ الْأَحْزَابِ وَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ الْحَمْدَ وَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ
Then go out to a desolate land where no one can see you, or in your house when the day rises, and you pray four units Salat performing Salaam between every two units, reading in the first unit Surah Al Hamd and Al Kafiroun, and in the second Surah Al Hamd and Al Tawheed, and in the third Surah Al Hamd and Surah Al Ahzaab, and in the fourth Surah Al Hamd and Al Munafiqeen.
ثُمَّ تُسَلِّمُ وَ تُحَوِّلُ وَجْهَكَ نَحْوَ قَبْرِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ تُمَثِّلُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ مَصْرَعَهُ وَ تُفْرِغُ ذِهْنَكَ وَ جَمِيعَ بَدَنِكَ وَ تَجْمَعُ لَهُ عَقْلَكَ ثُمَّ تَلْعَنُ قَاتِلَهُ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ يُكْتَبُ لَكَ بِكُلِّ لَعْنَةٍ أَلْفُ حَسَنَةٍ وَ يُمْحَى عَنْكَ أَلْفُ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ يُرْفَعُ لَكَ أَلْفُ دَرَجَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
Then perform Salaam and turn your face toward the grave of Abu Abdullah-asws and imagine his-asws slaying in front of you and free your mind and entirety of your body, and gather your intellect for it, then curse his-asws killers a thousand times. For you, with every curse would be a thousand good deeds, and a thousand evil deeds would be deleted from you, and a thousand ranks will be raised for you in the Paradise.
ثُمَّ تَسْعَى مِنَ الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي صَلَّيْتَ فِيهِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ أَنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ مِنْ سَعْيِكَ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَ إِنَّا إِلَيْهِ راجِعُونَ رِضًا بِقَضَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ تَسْلِيماً لِأَمْرِهِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ أَنْتَ فِي كُلِّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْكَ الْكَآبَةُ وَ الْحَزَنُ ثَاكِلًا حَزِيناً مُتَأَسِّفاً
Then walk seven times from the place which you had prayed Salat in while you are saying during each time from your walk, ‘We are for Allah-azwj and are returning to Him-azwj, satisfied with the Decree of Allah-azwj and submitting to His-azwj Command!’, seven times, and you during all that, upon you should be the gloom, and the grief, heaviness, grieving, regret.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَقَفْتَ فِي مَوْضِعِكَ الَّذِي صَلَّيْتَ فِيهِ وَ قُلْتَ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً اللَّهُمَّ عَذِّبِ الَّذِينَ حَارَبُوا رُسُلَكَ وَ شَاقُّوكَ وَ عَبَدُوا غَيْرَكَ وَ اسْتَحَلُّوا مَحَارِمَكَ وَ الْعَنِ الْقَادَةَ وَ الْأَتْبَاعَ وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُمْ وَ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِفِعْلِهِمْ لَعْناً كَثِيراً
When you are free from that, pause in your place in which you had prayed Salat, and say seventy times, ‘O Allah-azwj! Punish those who battled Your-azwj Rasool-saww, opposed You-azwj and worshipped others, and they permitted Your-azwj Prohibition, and Curse the leaders and the followers, and the ones who were with them, and ones who were pleased with their actions, many Curses!
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ فَرِّجْ عَنْ أَهْلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ اسْتَنْقِذْهُمْ مِنْ أَيْدِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَ الْكُفَّارِ وَ الْجَاحِدِينَ وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ افْتَحْ لَهُمْ فَتْحاً يَسِيراً وَ اجْعَلْ لَهُمْ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ عَلَى عَدُوِّكَ وَ عَدُوِّهِمْ سُلْطَاناً نَصِيراً
Then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Relieve from family of Muhammad-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and them-asws all, and Save them from hands of the hypocrites, and the Kafirs, and the rejecters, and Confer upon them and Grant to them-asws an easy victory, and Make for them-asws from Yourself-azwj, a persistent helper against Your-azwj enemy and their-asws enemy!’
ثُمَّ اقْنُتْ بَعْدَ الدُّعَاءِ وَ قُلْ فِي قُنُوتِكَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ الْأُمَّةَ خَالَفَتِ الْأَئِمَّةَ وَ كَفَرُوا بِالْكَلِمَةِ وَ أَقَامُوا عَلَى الضَّلَالَةِ وَ الْكُفْرِ وَ الرَّدَى وَ الْجَهَالَةِ وَ الْعَمَى وَ هَجَرُوا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِي أَمَرْتَ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ وَ الْوَصِيَّ الَّذِي أَمَرْتَ بِطَاعَتِهِ
Then perform Qunout after the supplication and say in your Qunout, ‘O Allah-azwj! Indeed the communities has opposed the Imams-asws, disbelieved in the Word, persisted in misguidance, Kufr, ruination, ignorance, and blindness. They abandoned the Book which You-azwj had Commanded to be known, and the successor-asws the obedience to whom You-azwj have Commanded!
فَأَمَاتُوا الْحَقَّ وَ عَدَلُوا عَنِ الْقِسْطِ وَ أَضَلُّوا الْأُمَّةَ عَنِ الْحَقِّ وَ خَالَفُوا السُّنَّةَ وَ بَدَّلُوا الْكِتَابَ وَ مَلَكُوا الْأَحْزَابَ وَ كَفَرُوا بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ وَ تَمَسَّكُوا بِالْبَاطِلِ وَ ضَيَّعُوا الْحَقَّ وَ أَضَلُّوا خَلْقَكَ وَ قَتَلُوا أَوْلَادَ نَبِيِّكَ ص وَ خِيَرَةَ عِبَادِكَ وَ أَصْفِيَائِكَ وَ حَمَلَةِ عَرْشِكَ وَ خَزَنَةِ سِرِّكَ وَ مَنْ جَعَلْتَهُمُ الْحُكَّامَ فِي سَمَاوَاتِكَ وَ أَرْضِكَ
So, they killed the truth, deviated from justice, misled the community from the right path, opposed the Sunnah, altered the Book, took control of factions, disbelieved in the truth when it came to them, clung to falsehood, neglected what was right, led Your-azwj creation astray, killed the children of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, the best of Your-azwj servants, Your-azwj Chosen ones, the bearers of Your-azwj Throne, the keepers of Your-azwj secret, and those whom You-azwj appointed as rulers in Your-azwj skies and Your-azwj earth!
اللَّهُمَّ فَزَلْزِلْ أَقْدَامَهُمْ وَ أَخْرِبْ دِيَارَهُمْ وَ اكْفُفْ سِلَاحَهُمْ وَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَ أَلْقِ الِاخْتِلَافَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَ أَوْهِنْ كَيْدَهُمْ وَ اضْرِبْهُمْ بِسَيْفِكَ الصَّارِمِ وَ حَجَرِكَ الدَّامِغِ وَ طُمَّهُمْ بِالْبَلَاءِ طَمّاً وَ ارْمِهِمْ بِالْبَلَاءِ رَمْياً وَ عَذِّبْهُمْ عَذَاباً شَدِيداً نُكْراً وَ ارْمِهِمْ بِالْغَلَاءِ وَ خُذْهُمْ بِالسِّنِينَ الَّذِي أَخَذْتَ بِهَا أَعْدَاءَكَ وَ أَهْلِكْهُمْ بِمَا أَهْلَكْتَهُمْ بِهِ
O Allah-azwj! Shake their footing, Destroy their homes, Restrain their weapons and their hands, Cast discord among them, Weaken their plots, Strike them with Your-azwj piercing sword and Your-azwj crushing stone, Overwhelm them completely with affliction, Bombard them with trials, Torment them with a severe and dreadful punishment, Strike them with famine, Seize them with years of hardship as You-azwj seized Your-azwj enemies, and Destroy them with that by which You-azwj destroyed them!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ خُذْهُمْ أَخْذَ الْقُرَى وَ هِيَ ظالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ
O Allah-azwj, and Seize them Seizing of the tow, while they are unjust. Surely, His Seizing is severely painful [11:102]!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ سُبُلَكَ ضَائِعَةٌ وَ أَحْكَامَكَ مُعَطَّلَةٌ وَ أَهْلَ نَبِيِّكَ فِي الْأَرْضِ هَائِمَةٌ كَالْوَحْشِ السَّائِمَةِ
O Allah-azwj! Indeed, Your-azwj paths have been wasted, and Your-azwj Rulings are suspended, and People-asws of the Household of Your-azwj Prophet-saww in the earth are wandering like the roaming of the beasts!
اللَّهُمَّ أَعْلِ الْحَقَّ وَ اسْتَنْقِذِ الْخَلْقَ وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيْنَا بِالنَّجَاةِ وَ اهْدِنَا لِلْإِيمَانِ وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَنَا بِالْقَائِمِ ع وَ اجْعَلْهُ لَنَا رِدْءاً وَ اجْعَلْنَا لَهُ رِفْداً
O Allah-azwj! Elevate the truth, Rescue Your-azwj creation, Bestow upon us salvation, Guide us to Eman, Hasten our relief through Al Qaim-ajfj and Make him-asws a cloak for us and Make us supporter of his-ajfj!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَهْلِكْ مَنْ جَعَلَ قَتْلَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكَ عِيداً وَ اسْتَهَلَّ فَرَحاً وَ سُرُوراً وَ خُذْ آخِرَهُمْ بِمَا أَخَذْتَ بِهِ أَوَّلَهُمْ
O Allah-azwj, and Destroy the ones who make the killing of the People-asws of the Household of Your-azwj Prophet-saww as an Eid (festival), and begin it with the joy and happiness, and Seize their last one with what You-azwj had Seized their first one!
اللَّهُمَّ أَعْلِ كَلِمَتَهُمْ وَ أَفْلِجْ حُجَّتَهُمْ وَ ثَبِّتْ قُلُوبَهُمْ وَ قُلُوبَ شِيعَتِهِمْ عَلَى مُوَالاتِهِمْ وَ انْصُرْهُمْ وَ أَعِنْهُمْ وَ صَبِّرْهُمْ عَلَى الْأَذَى فِي جَنْبِكَ وَ اجْعَلْ لَهُمْ أَيَّاماً مَشْهُورَةً وَ أَيَّاماً مَعْلُومَةً كَمَا ضَمِنْتَ لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ فِي كِتَابِكَ الْمُنْزَلِ
O Allah-azwj! Raise their word, Make their proof prevail, Strengthen their-asws hearts and the hearts of their-asws followers upon loyalty to them-asws, Grant them victory and Support them, Give them-asws patience in bearing harm for Your-azwj Sake, and Appoint for them-asws well-known and significant days, just as You-azwj Promised Your-azwj allies in Your-azwj Revealed Book!
فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَ لَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضى لَهُمْ وَ لَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْناً
You-azwj Said: Allah Promises those of you who believe and do righteous deeds that He will Make them Caliphs in the earth just as He Made Caliphs, those from before them, and He will Establish their Religion for them which He Approves for them, and He will Exchange for them from afterwards, their fear into security. [24:55]!
اللَّهُمَّ أَضْعِفِ الْبَلَاءَ وَ الْعَذَابَ وَ التَّنْكِيلَ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ عَلَى ظَالِمِي آلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكَ ص نَكَالًا وَ لَعْنَةً وَ أَهْلِكْ شِيعَتَهُمْ وَ قَادَتَهُمْ وَ جَمَاعَتَهُمْ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمِ الْعِتْرَةَ الضَّائِعَةَ الْمَقْتُولَةَ الذَّلِيلَةَ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ الطَّيِّبَةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ
O Allah-azwj! Double the affliction, punishment, and torment upon the wrongdoers from the first and the last, and upon the oppressors of the family of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, as a retribution and a curse. Destroy their followers, their leaders, and their groups. O Allah-azwj! Have mercy on the wasted, slain, and oppressed Progeny-asws from the goodly Blessed tree (lineage)!
اللَّهُمَّ أَعْلِ كَلِمَتَهُمْ يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ فَإِنِّي عَبْدُكَ الْخَائِفُ مِنْكَ وَ الرَّاجِعُ إِلَيْكَ وَ السَّائِلُ لَدَيْكَ وَ الْمُتَوَكِّلُ عَلَيْكَ وَ اللَّاجِي بِفِنَائِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Elevate their-asws words, O there is no god except You-azwj! O there is no god except You-azwj O most Merciful of the merciful ones! O Living, O Eternal! I am Your-azwj servant, the fearful from You-azwj, and the hoping to You-azwj, and the beggar before You-azwj, and the reliant upon You-azwj and the refugee at Your-azwj courtyard!
فَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَائِي وَ اسْمَعْ نَجْوَايَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ رَضِيتَ عَمَلَهُ وَ هَدَيْتَهُ وَ قَبِلْتَ نُسُكَهُ وَ انْتَجَيْتَهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْوَهَّابُ
Accept my supplication, and Listen to my whisper, and Make me from the ones You-azwj are Pleased with his deeds, and Guided him, and Accepted his rituals, and Selected him by Your-azwj Mercy, You-azwj are the Mighty, the Bestower!
أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ بِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَلَّا تُفَرِّقَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَئِمَّةِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ شِيعَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَذْكُرُهُمْ وَاحِداً وَاحِداً بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ إِلَى الْقَائِمِ ع وَ أَدْخِلْنِي فِيمَا أَدْخَلْتَهُمْ فِيهِ وَ أَخْرِجْنِي مِمَّا أَخْرَجْتَهُمْ مِنْهُ
I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, with there is no god except You-azwj! Indeed! Separate me and Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, the Imams-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws all, and Make me from the Shias of Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww (and mention them one by one with their-asws names up to Al Qaim-ajfj, and Enter me into what You-azwj have Entered them into, and Exit me from what You-azwj have Exited them-asws from!’
ثُمَّ عَفِّرْ خَدَّيْكَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ قُلْ يَا مَنْ يَحْكُمُ بِمَا يَشَاءُ وَ يَعْمَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْتَ حَكَمْتَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ مَا حَكَمْتَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مَحْمُوداً مَشْكُوراً وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُمْ وَ فَرَجَنَا بِهِمْ فَإِنَّكَ ضَمِنْتَ إِعْزَازَهُمْ بَعْدَ الذِّلَّةِ وَ تَكْثِيرَهُمْ بَعْدَ الْقِلَّةِ وَ إِظْهَارَهُمْ بَعْدَ الْخُمُولِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
Then rub your cheeks upon the ground and say, ‘O One Who Judges with whatever He-azwj Desires, and Does whatever He-azwj Want! You-azwj Judged regarding People-asws of the Household of Muhammad-saww what You-azwj Judged. For You-azwj is the Praise, praised, appreciated, and Hasten their-asws relief and Relieve us, for You-azwj have Guaranteed to honour them-asws after the humiliation, and Increase their-asws numbers after the fewness, and Manifest them-asws after the obscurity, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
أَسْأَلُكَ يَا إِلَهِي وَ سَيِّدِي بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ أَنْ تُبْلِغَنِي أَمَلِي وَ تَشْكُرَ قَلِيلَ عَمَلِي وَ أَنْ تَزِيدَنِي فِي أَيَّامِي وَ تُبْلِغَنِي ذَلِكَ الْمَشْهَدَ وَ تَجْعَلَنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ دُعِيَ فَأَجَابَ إِلَى طَاعَتِهِمْ وَ مُوَالاتِهِمْ وَ أَرِنِي ذَلِكَ قَرِيباً سَرِيعاً إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
I ask You-azwj, O my God-azwj and my Chief, due to Your-azwj Generosity and Your-azwj benevolence, to Make me reach my wishes, and Appreciate my little deeds, and to Increase in my days, and Make me reach that Shrine, and Make me from those who responded to their-asws obedience and their Wilayah, and Show me that near term, swiftly, You-azwj are Able upon all things!’
وَ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ حَجَّةٍ وَ عُمْرَةٍ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُعْطِي مَنْ صَلَّى هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ عَشْرَ خِصَالٍ مِنْهَا أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يُوَقِّيهِ مِنْ مِيتَةِ السَّوْءِ وَ لَا يُعَاوِنُ عَلَيْهِ عَدُوّاً إِلَى أَنْ يَمُوتَ وَ يُوَقِّيهِ مِنَ الْمَكَارِهِ وَ الْفَقْرِ وَ يُؤْمِنُهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْجُنُونِ وَ الْجُذَامِ وَ يُؤْمِنُ وُلْدَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَرْبَعِ أَعْقَابٍ وَ لَا يَجْعَلُ لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَ لَا لِأَوْلِيَائِهِ عَلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا
And raise your head toward the sky, for that is better than a Hajj and an Umrah, and know that Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Give ten characteristics to the one who prays this Salat during that day, and supplicates with this supplication. From these is that Allah-azwj the Exalted will Save him from the evil death, and not support an enemy against him until he dies, and Save him from the abhorrence, and the poverty, and Allah-azwj will Secure him from the insanity, and the leprosy, and Secure his children from that up to four generation, and not make a way for the Satan-la nor for his-la friends!’
قَالَ قُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي مَنَّ عَلَيَّ بِمَعْرِفَتِكُمْ وَ مَعْرِفَةِ حَقِّكُمْ وَ أَدَاءِ مَا افْتَرَضَ لَكُمْ بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَ مِنْهُ وَ هُوَ حَسْبِي وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Conferred upon me with your-asws friendship, and recognition of your-asws rights, and fulfilment of what He-azwj has obligated for you-asws all, by His-azwj Mercy and His-azwj Conferment, and He-azwj Suffices me and is the Best Disposer!’’[24]

I say, ‘The compiler of ‘Al Mazaar Al Kabeer’ said, ‘I am informed by the Sheykh Imad Al Deen Muhammad Bin Abu Al Qasim Al Tabari, read out to him while I was listening, during months of the year five hundred and fifty three at the Shrine of our master Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, from the Sheykh Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad, from his father the Sheykh Abu Ja’far, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, from the Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan, from Ibn Qawlawayh, and Abu Ja’far Bin Babuwayh, from Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al Kulayni, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said,
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى سَيِّدِي أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ فَأَلْفَيْتُهُ كَاسِفَ اللَّوْنِ. أقول: و ساق الحديث مثل ما مر برواية الشيخ في المصباح سواء.
‘I entered to see my chief Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws on a day of Ashura and I met him being of anguished appearance’, and I say, ‘And he continued the Hadeeth similar to what has passed by the reported of the Sheykh in ‘Al-Misbah’, same’’.[25]

(The book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’ – Mention of the Ziyarat during the day of Ashura, from the book ‘Al Mukhtasar al Muntakhab’. He said what it’s wording is,
‘Then prepare for the Ziyarat. Bathe and wear two clean clothes, and walk bare-footed up to above your rooftop or a safe and open (place) from the earth. Then face the Qiblah and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O inheritor of Adam-as elite of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O inheritor of Noah-as trustee of Allah-azwj!

The greeting be upon you-asws O inheritor of Muhammad-saww Messenger-saww of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O inheritor of the Prophets-as and Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and chief of the successors-asws, and best of the foremost ones, and grandson-asws of last of the Messengers-as, and how can you-asws not be like that my chief and you-asws are the Imam-asws of guidance, and ally of the pious, and fifth companion of the cloak!

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ
I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there being no associate for Him-azwj, and I testify that Muhammad-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-as and his-saww Progeny-asws and abundant greetings, is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww!

فَأُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ وَ أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي بِاللَّهِ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ مُصَدِّقٌ وَ بِحَقِّكُمْ عَارِفٌ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ بَلَّغْتُمْ عَنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا أَمَرَكُمْ بِهِ وَ عَبَدْتُمُوهُ حَتَّى أَتَاكُمُ الْيَقِينُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ سَفَكُوا دَمَكَ وَ انْتَهَكُوا حُرْمَتَكَ وَ قَعَدُوا عَنْ نُصْرَتِكَ مِمَّنْ دَعَاكَ فَأَجَبْتَهُ مَلْعُونُونَ عَلَى لِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ ص يَا سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ إِنْ كَانَ لَمْ يُجِبْكَ بَدَنِي عِنْدَ اسْتِغَاثَتِكَ فَقَدْ أَجَابَكَ رَأْيِي وَ هَوَايَ

The greeting be upon Divine Authorities of Lord-azwj of the worlds! The greeting be upon you-asws and upon your-asws forefathers-asws the pure! The greeting be upon you-asws and upon your-asws martyred sons-asws! The greeting be upon you-asws and upon your-asws offspring, the helpers! The greeting be upon you-asws and upon the Angels lying down! The greeting be upon the one killed oppressed! The greeting be upon his-asws brother-asws the poisoned! The greeting be upon Ali-asws the elder! The greeting be upon the young infant!

The greeting be upon the stripped bodies! The greeting be upon the near relatives! The greeting be upon the ones battled in the open plains! The greeting be upon the ones snatched from the homelands! The greeting be upon the ones buried without shrouds! The greeting be upon the heads separated from the bodies! The greeting be upon the anticipating, the patient! The greeting be upon the oppressed without a helper!
السَّلَامُ عَلَى سَاكِنِ التُّرْبَةِ الزَّاكِيَةِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى صَاحِبِ الْقُبَّةِ السَّامِيَةِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنْ طَهَّرَهُ الْجَلِيلُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنِ افْتَخَرَ بِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنْ نَاغَاهُ فِي الْمَهْدِ مِيكَائِيلُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنْ نُكِثَتْ ذِمَّتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنْ هُتِكَتْ حُرْمَتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنْ أُرِيقَ بِالظُّلْمِ دَمُهُ
The greeting be upon the dweller of the pure soil! The greeting be upon owner of the lofty dome! The greeting be upon the one the Majestic Purified! The greeting be upon the one Jibraeel-as prided with! The greeting be upon the one Mikaeel-as played with in the cradle! The greeting be upon one whose covenant was broken! The greeting be upon the one whose sanctity was violated! The greeting be upon the one whose blood was spilt with the injustice!
السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْمُغَسَّلِ بِدَمِ الْجِرَاحِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْمُجَرَّعِ بِكَاسَاتِ الرِّمَاحِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْمُضَامِ الْمُسْتَبَاحِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْمَنْحُورِ فِي الْوَرَى السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنْ دَفَنَهُ أَهْلُ الْقُرَى السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْمَقْطُوعِ الْوَتِينِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْمُحَامِي بِلَا مُعِينٍ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الشَّيْبِ الْخَضِيبِ
The greeting be upon the one washed with the blood of wounds. The greeting be upon the one who made to drink the cups of spears. The greeting be upon the oppressed one whose sanctity was violated. The greeting be upon the one slaughtered among the people. The greeting be upon the one buried by the villagers. The greeting be upon the one whose jugular vein was severed. The greeting be upon the defender without a helper. The greeting be upon the grey hair dyed with blood.
السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْخَدِّ التَّرِيبِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْبَدَنِ السَّلِيبِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الثَّغْرِ الْمَقْرُوعِ بِالْقَضِيبِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الرَّأْسِ الْمَرْفُوعِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْأَجْسَامِ الْعَارِيَةِ فِي الْفَلَوَاتِ تَنْهَشُهَا الذِّئَابُ الْعَادِيَاتُ وَ تَخْتَلِفُ إِلَيْهَا السِّبَاعُ الضَّارِيَاتُ
The greeting be upon the dust-covered cheek! The greeting be upon the plundered body! The greeting be upon the mouth struck with the rod! The greeting be upon the raised head! The greeting be upon the bare bodies in the open plains gnawed by attacking wolves and approached by fierce beasts!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ عَلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمَرْفُوفِينَ حَوْلَ قُبَّتِكَ الْحَافِّينَ بِتُرْبَتِكَ الطَّائِفِينَ بِعَرْصَتِكَ الْوَارِدِينَ لِزِيَارَتِكَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنِّي قَصَدْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَ رَجَوْتُ الْفَوْزَ لَدَيْكَ
The greeting be upon you-asws O my master, and upon the Angels flapping around your-asws dome, surround your-asws soils in your-asws plains having arrived to visit you-asws! The greeting be upon you-asws, for I have aimed to you-asws, hoping for the success with you-asws!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ سَلَامَ الْعَارِفِ بِحُرْمَتِكَ الْمُخْلِصِ فِي وَلَايَتِكَ الْمُتَقَرِّبِ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِمَحَبَّتِكَ الْبَرِيءِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ سَلَامَ مَنْ قَلْبُهُ بِمُصَابِكَ مَقْرُوحٌ وَ دَمْعُهُ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِكَ مَسْفُوحٌ سَلَامَ الْمَفْجُوعِ الْحَزِينِ الْوَالِهِ الْمُسْتَكِينِ
The greeting be upon you, a greeting from one who recognises your-asws sanctity, who is sincere in your-asws Wilayah, who seeks nearness to Allah-azwj through loving you-asws, and who is free from your-asws enemies, a greeting from one whose heart is wounded by your-asws suffering and whose tears flow when you-asws are mentioned, a greeting from one stricken, sorrowful, distraught, and humble.
سَلَامَ مَنْ لَوْ كَانَ مَعَكَ بِالطُّفُوفِ لَوَقَاكَ بِنَفْسِهِ حَدَّ السُّيُوفِ وَ بَذَلَ حُشَاشَتَهُ دُونَكَ لِلْحُتُوفِ وَ جَاهَدَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ نَصَرَكَ عَلَى مَنْ بَغَى عَلَيْكَ وَ فَدَاكَ بِرُوحِهِ وَ جَسَدِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ وَلَدِهِ وَ رُوحُهُ لِرُوحِكَ فِدَاءٌ وَ أَهْلُهُ لِأَهْلِكَ وِقَاءٌ
A greeting from one who, had he been with you-asws at Karbala, would have shielded you-asws from the edge of the swords with his own self, offered his soul before yours-asws to meet death, fought at your-asws side, supported you-asws against those who transgressed upon you-asws, and sacrificed his spirit, body, wealth, and children for you-asws, his soul a ransom for yours-asws, and his family a shield for your-asws family.
فَلَئِنْ أَخَّرَتْنِي الدُّهُورُ وَ عَاقَنِي عَنْ نَصْرِكَ الْمَقْدُورُ وَ لَمْ أَكُنْ لِمَنْ حَارَبَكَ مُحَارِباً وَ لِمَنْ نَصَبَ لَكَ الْعَدَاوَةَ مُنَاصِباً فَلَأَنْدُبَنَّكَ صَبَاحاً وَ مَسَاءً وَ لَأَبْكِيَنَّ لَكَ بَدَلَ الدُّمُوعِ دَماً حَسْرَةً عَلَيْكَ وَ تَأَسُّفاً عَلَى مَا دَهَاكَ وَ تَلَهُّفاً حَتَّى أَمُوتَ بِلَوْعَةِ الْمُصَابِ وَ غُصَّةِ الِاكْتِيَابِ
So, if time has delayed me and destiny has hindered me from supporting you-asws, and I was not among those who fought your-asws enemies or stood against those who declared enmity towards you-asws, then I will surely mourn you-asws morning and evening, and I will weep for you-asws instead of tears with blood, in grief for you-asws, in sorrow for what befell you-asws, and in longing until I die from the anguish of your-asws calamity and the choking sorrow!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ أَقَمْتَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ آتَيْتَ الزَّكَاةَ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ وَ أَطَعْتَ اللَّهَ وَ مَا عَصَيْتَهُ وَ تَمَسَّكْتَ بِهِ وَ بِحَبْلِهِ فَأَرْضَيْتَهُ وَ خَشِيتَهُ وَ رَاقَبْتَهُ وَ اسْتَجَبْتَهُ
I testify that you-asws established the Salat and gave the zakat, instructed with what is right and forbade what is wrong and aggression. You-asws obeyed Allah-azwj and never disobeyed Him-azwj! You-asws held firmly to Him-azwj and to His-azwj rope, thus pleasing Him-azwj, fearing Him-azwj, being ever watchful of Him-azwj, and responding to His-azwj Call.
وَ سَنَنْتَ السُّنَنَ وَ أَطْفَأْتَ الْفِتَنَ وَ دَعَوْتَ إِلَى الرَّشَادِ وَ أَوْضَحْتَ سُبُلَ السَّدَادِ وَ جَاهَدْتَ فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ الْجِهَادِ وَ كُنْتَ لِلَّهِ طَائِعاً وَ لِجَدِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص تَابِعاً وَ لِقَوْلِ أَبِيكَ سَامِعاً وَ إِلَى وَصِيَّةِ أَخِيكَ مُسَارِعاً
You-asws revived the Sunnah and extinguished the discords. You-asws called to guidance and clarified the paths of righteousness. You-asws strove in the way of Allah-azwj with true striving. You-asws were obedient to Allah-azwj, being a follower of your-asws grandfather Muhammad-saww, being attentive to the words of your-asws father-asws, swift in fulfilling the bequest of your-asws brother!
وَ لِعِمَادِ الدِّينِ رَافِعاً وَ لِلطُّغْيَانِ قَامِعاً وَ لِلطُّغَاةِ مُقَارِعاً وَ لِلْأُمَّةِ نَاصِحاً وَ فِي غَمَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ سَابِحاً وَ لِلْفُسَّاقِ مُكَافِحاً وَ بِحُجَجِ اللَّهِ قَائِماً وَ لِلْإِسْلَامِ وَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ رَاحِماً وَ لِلْحَقِّ نَاصِراً وَ عِنْدَ الْبَلَاءِ صَابِراً وَ لِلدِّينِ كَالِئاً وَ عَنْ حَوْزَتِهِ مُرَامِياً تَحُوطُ الْهُدَى وَ تَنْصُرُهُ وَ تَبْسُطُ الْعَدْلَ وَ تَنْشُرُهُ وَ تَنْصُرُ الدِّينَ وَ تُظْهِرُهُ
You-asws were a bearer of the pillars of religion, a suppressor of tyranny, a challenger of tyrants, a sincere advisor to the nation, immersed in the depths of death, a fighter against the corrupt, an upholder of Arguments of Allah-azwj, compassionate to Islam and the Muslims, a supporter of truth, patient in tribulation, a protector of religion and defender of its boundaries! You-asws preserved guidance and upheld it, spread justice and expanded it, supported the religion and made it manifest.
وَ تَكُفُّ الْعَابِثَ وَ تَزْجُرُهُ وَ تَأْخُذُ لِلدَّنِيِّ مِنَ الشَّرِيفِ وَ تُسَاوِي فِي الْحُكْمِ بَيْنَ الْقَوِيِّ وَ الضَّعِيفِ كُنْتَ رَبِيعَ الْأَيْتَامِ وَ عِصْمَةَ الْأَنَامِ وَ عِزَّ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ مَعْدِنَ الْأَحْكَامِ وَ حَلِيفَ الْإِنْعَامِ
You-asws repelled the mischief-makers and restrained them. You-asws stood for the weak against the strong, equal in judgment between the powerful and the oppressed. You-asws were the spring for the orphans, the refuge for humanity, the honour of Islam, the source of rulings, and the ally of the bounties!
سَالِكاً طَرَائِقَ جَدِّكَ وَ أَبِيكَ مُشَبَّهاً فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ لِأَخِيكَ وَفِيَّ الذِّمَمِ رَضِيَّ الشِّيَمِ ظَاهِرَ الْكَرَمِ مُتَهَجِّداً فِي الظُّلَمِ قَوِيمَ الطَّرَائِقِ كَرِيمَ الْخَلَائِقِ عَظِيمَ السَّوَابِقِ شَرِيفَ النَّسَبِ مُنِيفَ الْحَسَبِ رَفِيعَ الرُّتَبِ كَثِيرَ الْمَنَاقِبِ مَحْمُودَ الضَّرَائِبِ جَزِيلَ الْمَوَاهِبِ حَلِيمٌ رَشِيدٌ مُنِيبٌ جَوَادٌ عَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ إِمَامٌ شَهِيدٌ أَوَّاهٌ مُنِيبٌ حَبِيبٌ مَهِيبٌ
You-asws followed the ways of your-asws grandfather-saww and your-asws father-asws, resembling your-asws brother in fulfilling the will, loyal in covenants, noble in character, generous in nature, standing in worship during the darkness of night, firm in conduct, noble in disposition, great in virtue, of noble lineage, high in status, exalted in rank, abundant in merits, praiseworthy in traits, vast in gifts, forbearing, wise, repentant, generous, knowledgeable, steadfast, a leading martyr, humble, devoted, beloved, and revered.
كُنْتَ لِلرَّسُولِ ص وَلَداً وَ لِلْقُرْآنِ مُنْقِداً وَ لِلْأُمَّةِ عَضُداً وَ فِي الطَّاعَةِ مُجْتَهِداً حَافِظاً لِلْعَهْدِ وَ الْمِيثَاقِ نَاكِباً عَنِ سُبُلِ الْفُسَّاقِ وَ بَاذِلًا لِلْمَجْهُودِ طَوِيلَ الرُّكُوعِ وَ السُّجُودِ زَاهِداً فِي الدُّنْيَا زُهْدَ الرَّاحِلِ عَنْهَا نَاظِراً إِلَيْهَا بِعَيْنِ الْمُسْتَوْحِشِينَ مِنْهَا آمَالُكَ عَنْهَا مَكْفُوفَةٌ وَ هِمَّتُكَ عَنْ زِينَتِهَا مَصْرُوفَةٌ وَ إِلْحَاظُكَ عَنْ بَهْجَتِهَا مَطْرُوفَةٌ وَ رَغْبَتُكَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مَعْرُوفَةٌ
You-asws were a son-asws to the Rasool-saww, a follower of the Quran, a support to the nation, diligent in obedience, a keeper of promises and covenants, distant from the paths of the corrupt, giving your-asws utmost effort, prolonging your Ruk’u and Sajdah, ascetic in the world like one departing from it, looking at it with the eyes of one alienated from it, your-asws wishes restrained from it, your-asws ambition turned away from its adornment, your-asws gaze averted from its splendour, your-asws desire for the Hereafter well known.
حَتَّى إِذَا الْجَوْرُ مَدَّ بَاعَهُ وَ أَسْفَرَ الظُّلْمُ قِنَاعَهُ وَ دَعَا الْغَيُّ أَتْبَاعَهُ وَ أَنْتَ فِي حَرَمِ جَدِّكَ قَاطِنٌ وَ لِلظَّالِمِينَ مُبَايِنٌ جَلِيسُ الْبَيْتِ وَ الْمِحْرَابِ مُعْتَزِلٌ عَنِ اللَّذَّاتِ وَ الشَّهَوَاتِ تُنْكِرُ الْمُنْكَرَ بِقَلْبِكَ وَ لِسَانِكَ عَلَى حَسَبِ طَاقَتِكَ وَ إِمْكَانِكَ
Until when oppression extended its reach, injustice revealed its face, and falsehood summoned its followers, while you-asws were residing in the sanctuary of your grandfather, disassociated from the wrongdoers, a companion of the house and the prayer niche, distant from pleasures and desires, rejecting wrong with your-asws heart and your-asws tongue according to your-asws ability and capacity!
ثُمَّ اقْتَضَاكَ الْعِلْمُ لِلْإِنْكَارِ وَ لَزِمَكَ أَنْ تُجَاهِدَ الْفُجَّارَ فَسِرْتَ فِي أَوْلَادِكَ وَ أَهَالِيكَ وَ شِيعَتِكَ وَ مَوَالِيكَ وَ صَدَعْتَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ الْبَيِّنَةِ وَ دَعَوْتَ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِإِقَامَةِ الْحُدُودِ وَ الطَّاعَةِ لِلْمَعْبُودِ
Then knowledge required you-asws to rise in rejection, and it became incumbent upon you-asws to strive against the wicked. So, you-asws set out with your-asws children, your-asws family, your-asws followers, and your-asws supporters. You-asws proclaimed the truth and clear evidence, and you-asws called to Allah-azwj with wisdom and goodly exhortation. You commanded the upholding of the limits (of Allah-azwj) and obedience to the Worshipped One!
وَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْخَبَائِثِ وَ الطُّغْيَانِ وَ وَاجَهُوكَ بِالظُّلْمِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ فَجَاهَدْتَهُمْ بَعْدَ الْإِيعَازِ لَهُمْ وَ تَأْكِيدِ الْحُجَّةِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَنَكَثُوا ذِمَامَكَ وَ بَيْعَتَكَ وَ أَسْخَطُوا رَبَّكَ وَ جَدَّكَ وَ بَدَءُوكَ بِالْحَرْبِ فَثَبَتَّ لِلطَّعْنِ وَ الضَّرْبِ وَ طَحَنْتَ جُنُودَ الْفُجَّارِ وَ اقْتَحَمْتَ قَسْطَلَ الْغُبَارِ مُجَالِداً بِذِي الْفَقَارِ كَأَنَّكَ عَلِيٌّ الْمُخْتَارُ
You-asws forbade evil and tyranny, but they confronted you-asws with injustice and aggression. So, you-asws struggled against them after warning them and establishing the argument upon them. Yet they broke their covenant and your pledge, enraged your-asws Lord-azwj and your-asws grandfather-azwj, and began the war against you-asws! You-asws stood firm against the stabbing and the striking, crushed the armies of the wicked, plunged into the thick of the dust, fighting with Zulfiqar, as if you-asws were the chosen Ali-asws himself-asws!
فَلَمَّا رَأَوْكَ ثَابِتَ الْجَأْشِ غَيْرَ خَائِفٍ وَ لَا خَاشٍ نَصَبُوا لَكَ غَوَائِلَ مَكْرِهِمْ وَ قَاتَلُوكَ بِكَيْدِهِمْ وَ شَرِّهِمْ وَ أَمَرَ اللَّعِينُ جُنُودَهُ فَمَنَعُوكَ الْمَاءَ وَ وُرُودَهُ وَ نَاجَزُوكَ الْفُتَّالُ وَ عَاجَلُوكَ النُّزَّالُ وَ رَشَقُوكَ بِالسِّهَامِ وَ النِّبَالِ وَ بَسَطُوا إِلَيْكَ أَكُفَّ الِاصْطِلَامِ وَ لَمْ يَرْعَوْا لَكَ ذِمَاماً وَ لَا رَاقَبُوا فِيكَ أَثَاماً فِي قَتْلِهِمْ أَوْلِيَاءَكَ وَ نَهْبِهِمْ رِحَالَكَ وَ أَنْتَ مُقَدَّمٌ فِي الْهَبَوَاتِ وَ مُحْتَمِلٌ لِلْأَذِيَّاتِ
When they saw you-asws firm-hearted, unafraid and unwavering, they set their traps of deceit against you-asws and fought you-asws with their schemes and evil. The accursed one commanded his troops, so they blocked you-asws from the water and access to it. They confronted you-asws with deadly force, hastened to attack you-asws, showered you-asws with arrows and spears, and stretched out their hands to destroy you-asws. They did not honour any pact with you-asws, nor did they consider any sin in killing your supporters or plundering your camp, while you-asws stood at the forefront in the dust of battle, bearing every harm with endurance!
قَدْ عَجِبَتْ مِنْ صَبْرِكَ مَلَائِكَةُ السَّمَاوَاتِ فَأَحْدَقُوا بِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ الْجِهَاتِ وَ أَثْخَنُوكَ بِالْجِرَاحِ وَ حَالُوا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ الرَّوَاحِ وَ لَمْ يَبْقَ لَكَ نَاصِرٌ وَ أَنْتَ مُحْتَسِبٌ صَابِرٌ تَذُبُّ عَنْ نِسْوَتِكَ وَ أَوْلَادِكَ حَتَّى نَكَسُوكَ عَنْ جَوَادِكَ فَهَوَيْتَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ جَرِيحاً تَطَئُوكَ الْخُيُولُ بِحَوَافِرِهَا أَوْ تَعْلُوكَ الطُّغَاةُ بِبَوَاتِرِهَا
The Angels of the skies were amazed at your-asws patience. They surrounded you-asws from all directions and wounded you-asws severely. They blocked your path to rest, and no helper remained for you-asws, yet you-asws endured with faith and patience, protecting your-asws women and children until they struck you-asws down from your horse. You-asws fell to the ground wounded, trampled by the hooves of horses, and attacked by tyrants with their swords.
قَدْ رَشَحَ لِلْمَوْتِ جَبِينُكَ وَ اخْتَلَفَتْ بِالانْقِبَاضِ وَ الِانْبِسَاطِ شِمَالُكَ وَ يَمِينُكَ تُدِيرُ طَرْفاً خَفِيّاً إِلَى رَحْلِكَ وَ بَيْتِكَ وَ قَدْ شُغِلْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ عَنْ وُلْدِكَ وَ أَهَالِيكَ وَ أَسْرَعَ فَرَسُكَ شَارِداً إِلَى خِيَامِكَ قَاصِداً مُحَمْحِماً بَاكِياً فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَ النِّسَاءُ جَوَادَكَ مَخْزِياً وَ نَظَرْنَ سَرْجَكَ عَلَيْهِ مَلْوِيّاً بَرَزْنَ مِنَ الْخُدُورِ نَاشِرَاتِ الشُّعُورِ عَلَى الْخُدُودِ لَاطِمَاتٍ لِلْوُجُوهِ سَافِراتٍ وَ بِالْعَوِيلِ دَاعِيَاتٍ وَ بَعْدَ الْعِزِّ مُذَلَّلَاتٍ وَ إِلَى مَصْرَعِكَ مِبَادِرَاتٍ
Death glistened on your-asws forehead, and your-asws hands moved faintly in tension and release. You-asws glanced with a hidden gaze toward your-asws camp and household, preoccupied with your-asws own suffering, no longer able to tend to your-asws children and family. Your-asws horse, fleeing in grief, galloped back to the tents, neighing and weeping. When the women saw your-asws disgraced horse with its saddle twisted, they rushed out of the tents with their hair uncovered, striking their faces, crying aloud in mourning, unveiled, humiliated after dignity, hastening to the place where you lay martyred.
وَ الشِّمْرُ جَالِسٌ عَلَى صَدْرِكَ وَ مُولِغٌ سَيْفَهُ عَلَى نَحْرِكَ قَابِضٌ عَلَى شَيْبَتِكَ بِيَدِهِ ذَابِحٌ لَكَ بِمُهَنَّدِهِ قَدْ سَكَنَتْ حَوَاسُّكَ وَ خَفِيَتْ أَنْفَاسُكَ وَ رُفِعَ عَلَى الْقَنَاةِ رَأْسُكَ وَ سُبِيَ أَهْلُكَ كالْعَبِيدِ وَ صُفِّدُوا فِي الْحَدِيدِ فَوْقَ أَقْتَابِ الْمَطِيَّاتِ تَلْفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمْ حَرُّ الْهَاجِرَاتِ يُسَاقُونَ فِي الْبَرَارِي وَ الْفَلَوَاتِ أَيْدِيهِمْ مَغْلُولَةٌ إِلَى الْأَعْنَاقِ يُطَافُ بِهِمْ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ
Shimr-la sat on your-asws chest, driving his sword into your-asws throat, gripping your-asws beard with his hand, slaughtering you-asws with his sharpened blade. Your-asws senses had faded, your-asws breath had ceased, your-asws head was raised upon a spear, and your-asws family was taken captive like slaves, bound in chains, mounted upon bare-backed camels, their faces scorched by the heat of the desert sun. They were driven across the plains and wastelands, their hands chained to their necks, paraded through the markets!
فَالْوَيْلُ لِلْعُصَاةِ الْفُسَّاقِ لَقَدْ قَتَلُوا بِقَتْلِكَ الْإِسْلَامَ وَ عَطَّلُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَ الصِّيَامَ وَ نَقَضُوا السُّنَنَ وَ الْأَحْكَامَ وَ هَدَمُوا قَوَاعِدَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ حَرَّفُوا آيَاتِ الْقُرْآنِ وَ هَمْلَجُوا فِي الْبَغْيِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ لَقَدْ أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَوْتُوراً وَ عَادَ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَهْجُوراً
So, woe be to the disobedient and the corrupt, for by killing you-asws they have slain Islam itself. They have suspended prayer and fasting, violated the traditions and rulings, destroyed the foundations of faith, distorted the verses of the Quran, and indulged in tyranny and aggression. Indeed, Rasool-Allah-saww has been left bereaved, and the Book of Allah-azwj, the Mighty and Majestic, has been forsaken!
وَ غُودِرَ الْحَقُّ إِذْ قُهِرْتَ مَقْهُوراً وَ فُقِدَ بِفَقْدِكَ التَّكْبِيرُ وَ التَّهْلِيلُ وَ التَّحْرِيمُ وَ التَّحْلِيلُ وَ التَّنْزِيلُ وَ التَّأْوِيلُ وَ ظَهَرَ بَعْدَكَ التَّغْيِيرُ وَ التَّبْدِيلُ وَ الْإِلْحَادُ وَ التَّعْطِيلُ وَ الْأَهْوَاءُ وَ الْأَضَالِيلُ وَ الْفِتَنُ وَ الْأَبَاطِيلُ فَقَامَ نَاعِيكَ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ جَدِّكَ الرَّسُولِ ص
And the truth was betrayed when you-asws were overpowered in defeat. With your-asws loss, the voices of the exclamations of Greatness and extollations of Oneness, of what is lawful and unlawful, of Revelation and interpretation have disappeared. After you,-asws alteration and distortion have emerged, disbelief and denial have spread, desires and misguidance, trials and falsehoods have appeared. Your-asws mourner rose to lament you-asws at the grave of your-asws grandfather-saww Rasool-Allah-azwj!
فَنَعَاكَ إِلَيْهِ بِالدَّمْعِ الْهَطُولِ قَائِلًا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُتِلَ سِبْطُكَ وَ فَتَاكَ وَ اسْتُبِيحَ أَهْلُكَ وَ حِمَاكَ وَ سُبِيَتْ بَعْدَكَ ذَرَارِيُّكَ وَ وَقَعَ الْمَحْذُورُ بِعِتْرَتِكَ وَ ذَوِيكَ
So, he mourned you-asws to him with flowing tears, saying, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Your-saww grandson-asws and your-saww beloved one has been killed, your-saww family and sanctity have been violated, your-saww descendants have been taken captive after you-saww, and the calamity has struck your-saww household and kin!’
فَانْزَعَجَ الرَّسُولُ وَ بَكَى قَلْبُهُ الْمَهُولُ وَ عَزَّاهُ بِكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَ فُجِعَتْ بِكَ أُمُّكَ الزَّهْرَاءُ وَ اخْتَلَفَ جُنُودُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ تُعَزِّي أَبَاكَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أُقِيمَتْ لَكَ الْمَأْتَمُ فِي أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ وَ لَطَمَتْ عَلَيْكَ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ وَ بَكَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَ سُكَّانُهَا وَ الْجِنَانُ وَ خُزَّانُهَا وَ الْهِضَابُ وَ أَقْطَارُهَا وَ الْبِحَارُ وَ حِيتَانُهَا وَ الْجِنَانُ وَ وِلْدَانُهَا وَ الْبَيْتُ وَ الْمَقَامُ وَ الْمَشْعَرُ الْحَرَامُ وَ الْحِلُّ وَ الْإِحْرَامُ
The Rasool-saww was shaken, and his-saww grieving heart wept. The Angels and the prophets consoled him-saww for you-asws. Your-asws mother-asws (Syeda) Al-Zahra-asws was struck with grief for you-asws. The legions of the Angels of Proximity came in turn to console your-asws father-asws, Amir Al-Momineen-asws. Mourning was established for you-asws in the highest realm, and the Maiden Houries beat their cheeks in sorrow for you-asws. The skies and their inhabitants wept, the gardens and their keepers, the mountains and their regions, the seas and their fish, the gardens and their children, the Sacred House and the Station, and the Sacred Monuments, and the deconsecrated area and the Consecrated area!
اللَّهُمَّ فَبِحُرْمَةِ هَذَا الْمَكَانِ الْمُنِيفِ صَلِّ [عَلَى] مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ احْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَتِهِمْ وَ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ بِشَفَاعَتِهِمْ
O Allah-azwj! By the sanctity of this sublime place, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Resurrect me among their-asws group, and Admit me into the Paradise through their-asws intercession!

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, the truthful, the righteous, Progeny-asws of Ta Ha and Yaseen, and during the Qiyamah Make me from the secured ones, the reassured, the successful, the joyful, the receivers of the glad tidings!
اللَّهُمَّ اكْتُبْنِي فِي الْمُسَلِّمِينَ وَ أَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي لِسانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْآخِرِينَ وَ انْصُرْنِي عَلَى الْبَاغِينَ وَ اكْفِنِي كَيْدَ الْحَاسِدِينَ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي مَكْرَ الْمَاكِرِينَ وَ اقْبِضْ عَنِّي أَيْدِيَ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ اجْمَعْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ السَّادَةِ الْمَيَامِينِ فِي أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj!

ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهْ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ وَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ اقْرَأْ فِي الْأُولَى سُورَةَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْحَشْرَ وَ اقْنُتْ وَ قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُنَّ
Then divert toward the Qiblah and pray two units Salat, and read in the first Surah Al Anbiya and in the second Surah Al Hashr, and perform Qunout and say, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj the Forbearing, the Benevolence! There is no god except Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent! There is no god except Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the seven skies and the seven earths, and whatever is within these, and whatever is between these!

In opposition to His-azwj enemies, in rejection of those who equate others with Him-azwj, in acknowledgment of His-azwj Lordship, and in submission to His-azwj Might! He-azwj is the First without a beginning and the Last without an end, the Manifest over all things by His-azwj Power, the Hidden from all things by His-azwj Knowledge and Subtlety. Minds cannot grasp the core of His-azwj Greatness, imaginations cannot comprehend the reality of His-azwj Essence, and souls cannot conceive the nature of His-azwj Being. He-azwj is fully aware of all inner thoughts, knowing the secrets of hearts! He-azwj Knows the treachery of the eyes and what the chests conceal!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ عَلَى تَصْدِيقِي رَسُولَكَ ص وَ إِيمَانِي بِهِ وَ عِلْمِي بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ وَ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ النَّبِيُّ الَّذِي نَطَقَتِ الْحِكْمَةُ بِفَضْلِهِ وَ بَشَّرَتِ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ بِهِ وَ دَعَتْ إِلَى الْإِقْرَارِ بِمَا جَاءَ بِهِ وَ حَثَّتْ عَلَى تَصْدِيقِهِ
O Allah-azwj! I keep You-azwj as Witness upon my ratification of Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and my Eman with him-saww, and my knowledge of his-saww status, and I testify that he-saww is the Prophet-saww the wisdom spoke with his-saww merits, and the Prophets-as had given glad tidings with and called to the acceptance of what he-saww came with, and urged upon ratifying him-saww!
بِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى الَّذِي يَجِدُونَهُ مَكْتُوباً عِنْدَهُمْ فِي التَّوْراةِ وَ الْإِنْجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ يَنْهاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ يُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّباتِ وَ يُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبائِثَ وَ يَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَ الْأَغْلالَ الَّتِي كانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ
In the Words of the Exalted: whom they are finding written with them in the Torah and the Evangel (that) he would be instructing them with the good things and forbidding them from the evil, and permitting for them the good things and prohibiting upon them the bad, and removing from them their burdens and their shackles which would be upon them.

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww Your-azwj Messenger-saww to the Jinn and humans, and chief of the Chosen Prophets-as, and upon his-saww brother-asws and cousin, those who did not associate with You-azwj for the blink of an eye, ever, and upon (Syeda) Fatima Al-Zahra-asws chieftess of women of the worlds, and upon two chiefs of youths of the people of Paradise, Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws!
صَلَاةً خَالِدَةَ الدَّوَامِ عَدَدَ قَطْرِ الرِّهَامِ وَ زِنَةَ الْجِبَالِ وَ الْآكَامِ وَ مَا أَوْرَقَ السَّلَامُ وَ اخْتَلَفَ الضِّيَاءُ وَ الظَّلَامُ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْمُهْتَدِينَ الذَّائِدِينَ عَنِ الدِّينِ عَلِيٍّ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ جَعْفَرٍ وَ مُوسَى وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُجَّةِ الْقُوَّامِ بِالْقِسْطِ وَ سُلَالَةِ السِّبْطِ
(Send) eternal Salawaat, constant, number of the drops of rain, and weight of the mountains, and the hills, and what the greenery sprouts, and the light and the darkness interchange, and upon his-as pure Progeny-asws, the guided Imams-asws, the defenders of the religion, Ali-asws, and Muhammad-saww, and Ja’far-asws, and Musa-asws, and Ali-asws, and Muhammad-asws, and Ali-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Hujjat-ajfj, the ones standing with the fairness, and offspring of the grandson-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ هَذَا الْإِمَامِ فَرَجاً قَرِيباً وَ صَبْراً جَمِيلًا وَ نَصْراً عَزِيزاً وَ غِنًى عَنِ الْخَلْقِ وَ ثَبَاتاً فِي الْهُدَى وَ التَّوْفِيقِ لِمَا تُحِبُّ وَ تَرْضَى وَ رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً حَلَالًا طَيِّباً مَرِيئاً دَاراً سَائِغاً فَاضِلًا مُفْضِلًا صَبّاً صَبّاً مِنْ غَيْرِ كَدٍّ وَ لَا نَكَدٍ وَ لَا مِنَّةٍ مِنْ أَحَدٍ وَ عَافِيَةً مِنْ كُلِّ بَلَاءٍ وَ سُقْمٍ وَ مَرَضٍ وَ الشُّكْرَ عَلَى الْعَافِيَةِ وَ النَّعْمَاءِ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the right of this Imam-asws for a near relief, beautiful patience, mighty victory, independence from creation, steadfastness in guidance, success in what You-azwj Love and are Pleased with, and a wide, lawful, pure, pleasant, beneficial, abundant, and generous sustenance poured forth continuously without hardship, trouble, or obligation from anyone, and well-being from every affliction, pain, and illness, and for gratitude for health and blessings.
وَ إِذَا جَاءَ الْمَوْتُ فَاقْبِضْنَا عَلَى أَحْسَنِ مَا يَكُونُ لَكَ طَاعَةً عَلَى مَا أَمَرْتَنَا مُحَافِظِينَ حَتَّى تُؤَدِّيَنَا إِلَى جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
And when death comes, take us in the best state of obedience to You-azwj, adhering to what You-azwj have Commanded, until You-azwj bring us to the Gardens of bliss through Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَوْحِشْنِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ آنِسْنِي بِالْآخِرَةِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُوحِشُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا خَوْفُكَ وَ لَا يُؤْنِسُ بِالْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا رَجَاؤُكَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Make me feel lonely from the world and Comfort me with the Hereafter, for nothing makes one lonely from the world except Your-azwj fear, nor comforts with the Hereafter except Your-azwj hope!
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحُجَّةُ لَا عَلَيْكَ وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمُشْتَكَى لَا مِنْكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَى نَفْسِيَ الظَّالِمَةِ الْعَاصِيَةِ وَ شَهْوَتِيَ الْغَالِبَةِ وَ اخْتِمْ بِالْعَافِيَةِ
O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Argument, not against You-azwj, and to You-azwj is the complaint, not from You-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws and Assist me upon myself against the disobedient oppressors, and my prevailing lustful desires, and End with the well-being!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ اسْتِغْفَارِي إِيَّاكَ وَ أَنَا مُصِرٌّ عَلَى مَا نُهِيتُ قِلَّةُ حَيَاءٍ وَ تَرْكِيَ الِاسْتِغْفَارَ مَعَ عِلْمِي بِسَعَةِ حِلْمِكَ تَضْيِيعٌ لِحَقِّ الرَّجَاءِ
O Allah-azwj! My seeking Forgiveness from You-azwj while I persist in what You-azwj have Forbidden is a sign of little shame, and my abandoning seeking Forgiveness despite knowing the vastness of Your-azwj Forbearance is a waste of the right of hope!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ ذُنُوبِي تُؤْيِسُنِي أَنْ أَرْجُوَكَ وَ إِنَّ عِلْمِي بِسَعَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أَخْشَاكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ صَدِّقْ رَجَائِي لَكَ وَ كَذِّبْ خَوْفِي مِنْكَ وَ كُنْ لِي عِنْدَ أَحْسَنِ ظَنِّي بِكَ يَا أَكْرَمَ الْأَكْرَمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! My sins make me despair of hoping in You-azwj, yet my knowledge of the vastness of Your-azwj Mercy prevents me from fearing You-azwj! So, Send blessings upon Muhammad-saww and the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww to confirm my hope in You-azwj, deny my fear of You-azwj, and be for me as I hope of You-azwj, O most Generous of the generous ones!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَيِّدْنِي بِالْعِصْمَةِ وَ أَنْطِقْ لِسَانِي بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ يَنْدَمُ عَلَى مَا ضَيَّعَهُ فِي أَمْسِهِ وَ لَا يُغْبَنُ حَظَّهُ فِي يَوْمِهِ وَ لَا يَهُمُّ لِرِزْقِ غَدِهِ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Assist me with the Protection, and Cause my tongue to speak with the wisdom, and Make me from the ones who regret upon what he had wasted in his yesterday, his share be diminished during his day, nor worry for the sustenance of his tomorrow!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ الْغَنِيَّ مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى بِكَ وَ افْتَقَرَ إِلَيْكَ وَ الْفَقِيرُ مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى بِخَلْقِكَ عَنْكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَغْنِنِي عَنْ خَلْقِكَ بِكَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ لَا يَبْسُطُ كَفّاً إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ
O Allah-azwj! The truly rich is the one who finds sufficiency through You-azwj and feels need for none but You-azwj, while the truly poor is the one who seeks sufficiency through Your-azwj creatures instead of You-azwj! So, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Enrich me through You-azwj from dependence on Your-azwj creatures, and Make me among those who extend their hand to none but You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ الشَّقِيَّ مَنْ قَنَطَ وَ أَمَامَهُ التَّوْبَةُ وَ وَرَاءَهُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَ إِنْ كُنْتُ ضَعِيفَ الْعَمَلِ فَإِنِّي فِي رَحْمَتِكَ قَوِيُّ الْأَمَلِ فَهَبْ لِي ضَعْفَ عَمَلِي لِقُوَّةِ أَمَلِي
O Allah-azwj! The wretched is the one who is despondent although in front of him is the repentance and behind him is the Mercy, and even though I have been of weak deeds, I am of strong hopes in Your-azwj Mercy! So, Gift to me my weak deeds for the strength of my hopes!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَا فِي عِبَادِكَ مَنْ هُوَ أَقْسَى قَلْباً مِنِّي وَ أَعْظَمُ مِنِّي ذَنْباً فَإِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَا مَوْلَى أَعْظَمُ مِنْكَ طَوْلًا وَ أَوْسَعُ رَحْمَةً وَ عَفْواً فَيَا مَنْ هُوَ أَوْحَدُ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ اغْفِرْ لِمَنْ لَيْسَ بِأَوْحَدَ فِي خَطِيئَتِهِ
O Allah-azwj! If You-azwj Know that among Your-azwj servants there is one whose heart is harder than mine and whose sins are greater than mine, then I surely know that there is no master greater than You-azwj in Generosity, nor wider in Mercy and Pardon! So, O You-azwj Who is unmatched in His-azwj Mercy! Forgive the one who is not unmatched in his sinfulness!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ أَمَرْتَنَا فَعَصَيْنَا وَ نَهَيْتَ فَمَا انْتَهَيْنَا وَ ذَكَرْتَ فَتَنَاسَيْنَا وَ بَصَّرْتَ فَتَعَامَيْنَا وَ حَذَّرْتَ فَتَعَدَّيْنَا وَ مَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ جَزَاءَ إِحْسَانِكَ إِلَيْنَا وَ أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا أَعْلَنَّا وَ أَخْفَيْنَا وَ أَخْبَرُ بِمَا نَأْتِي وَ مَا أَتَيْنَا
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj Commanded us but we disobeyed, You-azwj Forbade us but we did not refrain, You-azwj Reminded us but we ignored, You-azwj Showed us the way but we acted as if blind, You-azwj Warned us but we transgressed, although this was not a fitting response to Your-azwj Kindness toward us. You-azwj are most Knowing of what we reveal and conceal, and most Informed of what we do and have done!
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا بِمَا أَخْطَأْنَا وَ نَسِينَا وَ هَبْ لَنَا حُقُوقَكَ لَدَيْنَا وَ أَتِمَّ إِحْسَانَكَ إِلَيْنَا وَ أَسْبِلْ رَحْمَتَكَ عَلَيْنَا
So, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and do not hold us accountable for our mistakes and forgetfulness! Grant us the fulfilment of Your-azwj rights upon us, complete Your-azwj Kindness toward us, and Envelop us in Your-azwj Mercy!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ بِهَذَا الصِّدِّيقِ الْإِمَامِ وَ نَسْأَلُكَ بِالْحَقِّ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ لَهُ وَ لِجَدِّهِ رَسُولِكَ وَ لِأَبَوَيْهِ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ الرَّحْمَةِ إِدْرَارَ الرِّزْقِ الَّذِي بِهِ قِوَامُ حَيَاتِنَا وَ صَلَاحُ أَحْوَالِ عِيَالِنَا فَأَنْتَ الْكَرِيمُ الَّذِي تُعْطِي مِنْ سَعَةٍ وَ تَمْنَعُ مِنْ قُدْرَةٍ وَ نَحْنُ نَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ مَا يَكُونُ صَلَاحاً لِلدُّنْيَا وَ بَلَاغاً لِلْآخِرَةِ
O Allah-azwj! We seek nearness to You-azwj through this truthful Imam-asws, and we ask You-azwj by the right You-azwj have Granted him-asws, his-asws grandfather-saww Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and his-asws parents Ali-asws and (Syeda) Fatimah-asws, People of the Household of Mercy, for a continual provision by which our lives may be sustained and the affairs of our families improved., for You-azwj are the Generous One Who Gives out of abundance and withholds by power, and we ask You-azwj for sustenance that brings good in this world and serves as provision for the Hereafter!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ لِوَالِدَيْنَا وَ لِجَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ الْمُسْلِمَاتِ الْأَحْيَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْأَمْوَاتِ وَ آتِنا فِي الدُّنْيا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنا عَذابَ النَّارِ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Forgive us, our parents, and all believing men and women, Muslim men and women, the living among them and the dead, and Grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and Protect us from Punishment of the Fire!’
ثُمَّ تَرْكَعُ وَ تَسْجُدُ وَ تَجْلِسُ وَ تَتَشَهَّدُ وَ تُسَلِّمُ فَإِذَا سَبَّحْتَ فَعَفِّرْ خَدَّيْكَ وَ قُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَرْبَعِينَ مَرَّةً وَ اسْأَلِ اللَّهَ الْعِصْمَةَ وَ النَّجَاةَ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةَ وَ التَّوْفِيقَ بِحُسْنِ الْعَمَلِ وَ الْقَبُولَ لِمَا تَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ وَ تَبْتَغِي بِهِ وَجْهَهُ
Then perform Ruk’u and Sajdah, and be seated and perform Tashahhud, and perform Salaam. When you have glorified rub your cheeks in the ground and say, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest!’, forty times, and ask Allah-azwj for the Protection, and the salvation, and the Forgiveness, and the Inclination for performing the good deeds and the acceptance of what one can draw closer with to Him-azwj, and seek His-azwj Face with it.
وَ قِفْ عِنْدَ الرَّأْسِ ثُمَّ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ عَلَى مَا تَقَدَّمَ ثُمَّ انْكَبَّ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ قَبِّلْهُ وَ قُلْ زَادَ اللَّهُ فِي شَرَفِكُمْ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ وَ ادْعُ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ لِوَالِدَيْكَ وَ لِمَنْ أَرَدْتَ.
And pause by the head, then pray two units Salat of what has preceded. Then devote upon the grave and kiss it, and say, ‘May Allah-azwj Increase in your-asws nobilities, and the greeting be upon you-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!’, and supplicate for yourself and for your parents, and for the one you want to!’’[27]
9- أَقُولُ قَالَ مُؤَلِّفُ الْمَزَارِ الْكَبِيرِ زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى فِي يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ مِمَّا خَرَجَ مِنَ النَّاحِيَةِ إِلَى أَحَدِ الْأَبْوَابِ قَالَ تَقِفُ عَلَيْهِ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى آدَمَ صَفْوَةِ اللَّهِ مِنْ خَلِيقَتِهِ وَ سَاقَ الزِّيَارَةَ إِلَى آخِرِهَا مِثْلَ مَا مَرَّ.
I say, ‘The compiler of ‘Al-Mazar Al-Kabeer’ said, ‘There is another Ziyarat during the day o Ashura from what has emerged from the salutations to anyone of the doors (Imams-asws)’. He said, ‘Pause to him and say, ‘The greeting be upon Adam-as, elite of Allah-azwj from His-azwj creatures’, and he continued the Ziyarat up to its end, similar to what has passed’’.[28]

CHAPTER 42 – ZIYARAT OF ARBAEEN
1- قَالَ السَّيِّدُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَرْوِي عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيِّ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: عَلَامَاتُ الْمُؤْمِنِ خَمْسٌ صَلَاةُ إِحْدَى وَ خَمْسِينَ وَ زِيَارَةُ الْأَرْبَعِينَ وَ التَّخَتُّمُ بِالْيَمِينِ وَ تَعْفِيرُ الْجَبِينِ وَ الْجَهْرُ بِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ.
The Seyyid, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, reported from Abu Muhammad Al Askari-asws, he-asws said: ‘Signs of the Momin are five – Fifty one Salats, and Ziyarat of Arbaeen, and wearing the ring in the right hand, and rubbing the forehead (in the ground), and being loud with, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful!’ (in the Salat)’’.[29]
Explanation (by translator) – Fifty-one units of Salat: This refers to the total number of units in the daily obligatory and recommended Salats. The obligatory daily Salat are of 17 units, and the rest (34 units) are recommended (nawafil), including the night Salat. Performing all 51 shows devotion and spiritual discipline.
وَ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ كُنْتُ مَعَ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ صَفَرٍ فَلَمَّا وَصَلْنَا الْغَاضِرِيَّةَ اغْتَسَلَ فِي شَرِيعَتِهَا وَ لَبِسَ قَمِيصاً كَانَ مَعَهُ طَاهِراً ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي أَ مَعَكَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الطِّيبِ يَا عَطَاءُ
And Ata’a said, ‘I was with Jabir Bin Abdullah-ra on the twentieth day of Safar. When we arrived at Al Gaziriyya, he-ra bathed in its riverbank, and there wasn’t any clean shirt for him-ra. Then he-ra said to me, ‘Is there with you anything from the perfume, O Ata’a?’
قُلْتُ مَعِي سُعْدٌ
I said, ‘With me is ‘Su’d’ (a scent)’.
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَ سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ مَشَى حَافِياً حَتَّى وَقَفَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ كَبَّرَ ثَلَاثاً ثُمَّ خَرَّ مَغْشِيّاً عَلَيْهِ
He-asws applied some of it upon his-ra head and rest of his-ra body. Then he-ra walked bare-footed until he-ra paused by the head of Al-Husayn-asws and exclaimed three Takbeer, then fell down unconscious.
فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا آلَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا صَفْوَةَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا خِيَرَةَ اللَّهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا سَادَاتِ السَّادَاتِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا لُيُوثَ الْغَابَاتِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا سَفِينَةَ النَّجَاةِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
When he-ra woke up, I heard him-ra saying, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws all, O People-asws of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O elite of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O Choice of Allah-azwj from His-azwj creatures! The greeting be upon you-asws O chiefs of the chiefs! The greeting be upon you-asws O lions of the forests! The greeting be upon you-asws O the ship of salvation! The greeting be upon you-asws and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَارِثَ عِلْمِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَارِثَ آدَمَ صَفْوَةِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَارِثَ نُوحٍ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَارِثَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَارِثَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ذَبِيحِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَارِثَ مُوسَى كَلِيمِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَارِثَ عِيسَى رُوحِ اللَّهِ
The greeting be upon you-asws O inheritor of knowledge of the Prophets-as! The greeting be upon you-asws O inheritor of Adam-as elite of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O inheritor of Noah-as Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O inheritor of Ibrahim-as friend of Allah-azwj!

The greeting be upon you-asws O inheritor of Isa-as Spirit of Allah-azwj!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُصْطَفَى السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ عَلِيٍّ الْمُرْتَضَى السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ فَاطِمَةَ الزَّهْرَاءِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا شَهِيدَ بْنَ الشَّهِيدِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا قَتِيلَ بْنَ الْقَتِيلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ وَ ابْنَ وَلِيِّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ وَ ابْنَ حُجَّتِهِ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ
The greeting be upon you-asws O son-asws of Muhammad-saww the Chosen! The greeting be upon you-asws O Ali-asws the Nominated! The greeting be upon you-asws O son-asws of (Syeda) Fatima Al-Zahra-asws! The greeting be upon you-asws O martyr son-asws of a martyr! The greeting be upon you-asws O killed son-asws of a killed one! The greeting be upon you-asws Guardian of Allah-azwj and son-asws of His-azwj Guardian! The greeting be upon you-asws O Divine Authority of Allah-azwj upon His-azwj creatures!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ أَقَمْتَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ آتَيْتَ الزَّكَاةَ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ بَرَرْتَ وَالِدَيْكَ وَ جَاهَدْتَ عَدُوَّكَ
I testify you-asws have established the Salat and gave the Zakat, and instructed with the good and forbade from the evil, and were righteous to your-asws parents-asws, and fought your-asws enemies!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ تَسْمَعُ الْكَلَامَ وَ تَرُدُّ الْجَوَابَ وَ أَنَّكَ حَبِيبُ اللَّهِ وَ خَلِيلُهُ وَ نَجِيبُهُ وَ صَفِيُّهُ وَ ابْنُ صَفِيِّهِ
I testify you-asws hear the speech and respond the answer, and you-asws are Beloved of Allah-azwj and His-azwj friend, and His-azwj elite, and son-asws of His-azwj elite and son-asws of His-azwj elite!
زُرْتُكَ مُشْتَاقاً فَكُنْ لِي شَفِيعاً إِلَى اللَّهِ يَا سَيِّدِي أَسْتَشْفِعُ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِجَدِّكَ سَيِّدِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ بِأَبِيكَ سَيِّدِ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ بِأُمِّكَ سَيِّدَةِ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ قَاتِلِيكَ وَ ظَالِمِيكَ وَ شَانِئِيكَ وَ مُبْغِضِيكَ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ
I have visited you-asws longing and yearning, so be an intercessor for me with Allah-azwj, O my master! I seek intercession with Allah-azwj through your-asws grandfather-saww the chief of the Prophets-as, and through your-asws father-asws chief of the successors-as, and through your-asws mother-asws, chieftess of the women of all worlds! May Allah-azwj Curse those who killed you-asws, those who wronged you-asws, those who hated you-asws, and those who bore enmity against you-asws from the former ones and the latter ones!’
ثُمَّ انْحَنَى عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ مَرَّغَ خَدَّيْهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ صَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى قَبْرِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ ابْنَ مَوْلَايَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ قَاتِلَكَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ ظَالِمَكَ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِمَحَبَّتِكُمْ وَ أَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ
Then bend upon the grave and rub your cheeks upon it and pray four units Salat. Then come to the grave of Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws (Ali Al-Akbar-asws), and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O my master and son-asws of my master! May Allah-azwj Curse your-asws killer! May Allah-azwj Curse your-asws oppressor! I draw closer to Allah-azwj through your-asws love, and I disavow to Allah-azwj from your-asws enemies!’
ثُمَّ قَبَّلَهُ وَ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى قُبُورِ الشُّهَدَاءِ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْأَرْوَاحِ الْمُنِيخَةِ بِقَبْرِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ- السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا شِيعَةَ اللَّهِ وَ شِيعَةَ رَسُولِهِ وَ شِيعَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا طَاهِرُونَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا مَهْدِيُّونَ
Then kiss it and pray two units Salat and turn to the graves of the martyrs and say, ‘The greeting be upon the souls resting by the grave of Abu Abdullah-asws! The greeting be upon you-asws O Shias of Allah-azwj, and Shias of His-azwj Rasool-saww, and Shias of Amir Al-Momineen-asws and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws! The greeting be upon you, O pure ones! The greeting be upon you O guided ones!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَبْرَارُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ عَلَى مَلَائِكَةِ اللَّهِ الْحَافِّينَ بِقُبُورِكُمْ جَمَعَنِيَ اللَّهُ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ فِي مُسْتَقَرِّ رَحْمَتِهِ تَحْتَ عَرْشِهِ
The greeting be upon you O righteous ones! The greeting be upon you and upon the Angels of Allah-azwj surrounding your graves! May Allah-azwj Gather me and you all in the settlement of His-azwj Mercy beneath His-azwj Throne!’
ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى قَبْرِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا عَبَّاسَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ بَالَغْتَ فِي النَّصِيحَةِ وَ أَدَّيْتَ الْأَمَانَةَ وَ جَاهَدْتَ عَدُوَّكَ وَ عَدُوَّ أَخِيكَ فَصَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَى رُوحِكَ الطَّيِّبَةِ وَ جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَخٍ خَيْراً
Then he-ra came to the grave of Al-Abbas Bin Amir Al-Momineen-asws and paused to him-asws and said, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O Abu Al-Qasim-asws! The greeting be upon you-asws O Abbas Bin Ali-asws! The greeting be upon you-asws O son-asws of Amir Al-Momineen-asws! I testify you-asws have delivered regarding the advice, and fulfilled the entrustment, and fought your-asws enemies and enemies of your-asws brother-asws! May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon your-asws goodly soul, and may Allah-azwj Recompense you goodly from a brother-asws!’
ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ مَضَى.
Then he-ra prayed two units Salat and supplicated to Allah-azwj, and went’’.[30]

(The book) ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkaam’ – We are informed by a group of our companions, from Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa Bin Ahmad Al Tal’ukbari who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Ma’mar who said, ‘It is narrated to me by Abu Al-Hassan Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Mas’adah, and Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzal, from Sa’dan Bin Muslim Bin Safwan Bin Mihran Al Jammal who said,
‘My master Al-Sadiq-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, said to me regarding Ziyarat of Arbaeen: ‘You should visit at rising of the day and say, ‘The greeting be upon the Guardian of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Beloved! The greeting be upon the friend of Allah-azwj and His-azwj noble one! The greeting be upon the elite of Allah-azwj and son-asws of His-azwj elite! The greeting be upon Al-Husayn-asws the oppressed, the martyr! The greeting be upon the captive of the distresses and killed tearfully!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ وَلِيُّكَ وَ ابْنُ وَلِيِّكَ وَ صَفِيُّكَ وَ ابْنُ صَفِيِّكَ الْفَائِزُ بِكَرَامَتِكَ أَكْرَمْتَهُ بِالشَّهَادَةِ وَ حَبَوْتَهُ بِالسَّعَادَةِ وَ اجْتَبَيْتَهُ بِطِيبِ الْوِلَادَةِ وَ جَعَلْتَهُ سَيِّداً مِنَ السَّادَةِ وَ قَائِداً مِنَ الْقَادَةِ وَ ذَائِداً مِنَ الذَّادَةِ
O Allah-azwj! I testify that he -asws is Your-azwj friend and the son-asws of Your-azwj friend, Your-azwj Chosen one and the son-azwj of Your-azwj Chosen one, the one who attained Your-azwj honour! You-azwj honoured him-asws with martyrdom, granted him-asws happiness, selected him-asws through a pure birth, made him-asws a leader among leaders, a guide among guides, and a defender among defenders.
وَ أَعْطَيْتَهُ مَوَارِيثَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ جَعَلْتَهُ حُجَّةً عَلَى خَلْقِكَ مِنَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ فَأَعْذَرَ فِي الدُّعَاءِ وَ مَنَحَ النُّصْحَ وَ بَذَلَ مُهْجَتَهُ فِيكَ لِيَسْتَنْقِذَ عِبَادَكَ مِنَ الْجَهَالَةِ وَ حَيْرَةِ الضَّلَالَةِ
You-azwj Granted him-asws the inheritance of the Prophets-as and Made him a Divine Authority over Your-azwj creatures among the successors-as. He-asws fulfilled the duty of calling (to truth), offered sincere advice, and sacrificed his soul for You-azwj to save Your-azwj servants from ignorance and the confusion of misguidance.
وَ قَدْ تَوَازَرَ عَلَيْهِ مَنْ غَرَّتْهُ الدُّنْيَا وَ بَاعَ حَظَّهُ بِالْأَرْذَلِ الْأَدْنَى وَ شَرَى آخِرَتَهُ بِالثَّمَنِ الْأَوْكَسِ وَ تَغَطْرَسَ وَ تَرَدَّى فِي هَوَاهُ وَ أَسْخَطَكَ وَ أَسْخَطَ نَبِيَّكَ وَ أَطَاعَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ أَهْلَ الشِّقَاقِ وَ النِّفَاقِ وَ حَمَلَةَ الْأَوْزَارِ الْمُسْتَوْجِبِينَ لِلنَّارِ فَجَاهَدَهُمْ فِيكَ صَابِراً مُحْتَسِباً حَتَّى سُفِكَ فِي طَاعَتِكَ دَمُهُ وَ اسْتُبِيحَ حَرِيمُهُ
Then, those whom the world had deceived conspired against him, those who sold their share for the most vile and lowly price, and traded their Hereafter for the cheapest deal, they were arrogant, followed their desires, angered You-azwj and Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and obeyed among Your-azwj servants those who were people of division, hypocrisy, and burden-bearers deserving of the Fire. He-asws struggled against them for Your-azwj sake, patiently and seeking reward, until his blood was shed in obedience to You-azwj and his-asws sanctity was violated.
اللَّهُمَّ فَالْعَنْهُمْ لَعْناً وَبِيلًا وَ عَذِّبْهُمْ عَذَاباً أَلِيماً
O Allah-azwj! Curse them with a severe Curse and Punish them with a painful Punishment!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ سَيِّدِ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ
The greeting be upon you-asws O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! The greeting be upon you-asws O son-asws of chief of the successors-as!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَمِينُ اللَّهِ وَ ابْنُ أَمِينِهِ عِشْتَ سَعِيداً وَ مَضَيْتَ حَمِيداً وَ مِتَّ فَقِيداً مَظْلُوماً شَهِيداً
I testify that you-asws are the trustee of Allah-asws and the son-asws of His-azwj trustee. You-asws lived a life of happiness, departed with praiseworthy qualities, and died as one who was missed, wronged, and martyred.
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ مُنْجِزٌ لَكَ مَا وَعَدَكَ وَ مُهْلِكٌ مَنْ خَذَلَكَ وَ مُعَذِّبٌ مَنْ قَتَلَكَ
And I testify that Allah-azwj will surely Fulfil what He-azwj Promised you-asws, will Destroy those who abandoned you-asws, and will Punish those who killed you-asws!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ وَفَيْتَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَ جَاهَدْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى أَتَاكَ الْيَقِينُ فَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ قَتَلَكَ وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ ظَلَمَكَ وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ أُمَّةً سَمِعَتْ بِذَلِكَ فَرَضِيَتْ بِهِ
And I testify you-asws were loyal with the pact of Allah-azwj and fought in the way of Allah-azwj until the certainty (death) came to you-asws! May Allah-azwj Curse the one who killed you-asws, and my Allah-azwj Curse the one who oppressed you-asws, and may Allah-azwj Curse the community which heard of that and was pleased with it!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنِّي وَلِيٌّ لِمَنْ وَالاهُ وَ عَدُوٌّ لِمَنْ عَادَاهُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ كُنْتَ نُوراً فِي الْأَصْلَابِ الشَّامِخَةِ وَ الْأَرْحَامِ الْمُطَهَّرَةِ لَمْ تُنَجِّسْكَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةُ بِأَنْجَاسِهَا وَ لَمْ تُلْبِسْكَ مِنْ مُدْلَهِمَّاتِ ثِيَابِهَا
O Allah-azwj! I keep You-azwj as Witness I am a friend to the one who befriends him-asws, and an enemy to the one who is inimical to him-asws! May my father and my mother (be sacrificed for) you-asws O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! I testify you-asws were a Noor in the lofty lineages and the pure laps! The pre-Islamic period did not touch you-asws with its uncleanness, nor did it clothe you-asws in its clothes of darkness!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ مِنْ دَعَائِمِ الدِّينِ وَ أَرْكَانِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ مَعْقِلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ الْإِمَامُ الْبَرُّ التَّقِيُّ الرَّضِيُّ الزَّكِيُّ الْهَادِي الْمَهْدِيُّ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ كَلِمَةُ التَّقْوَى وَ أَعْلَامُ الْهُدَى وَ الْعُرْوَةُ الْوُثْقَى وَ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا
And I testify you-asws from the pillars of religion, and cornerstones of the Muslims, and fortresses of the believers, and I testify you-asws are the Imam-asws, the righteous, the pious, the contented, the pure, the guide, the guided, and I testify that the Imams-asws from you-asws sons-asws are the words of piety, and the flags of guidance, and the firmest handholds, and the Divine Authorities upon people of the world!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي بِكُمْ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ بِإِيَابِكُمْ مُوقِنٌ بِشَرَائِعِ دِينِي وَ خَوَاتِيمِ عَمَلِي وَ قَلْبِي لِقَلْبِكُمْ سِلْمٌ وَ أَمْرِي لِأَمْرِكُمْ مُتَّبِعٌ وَ نُصْرَتِي لَكُمْ مُعَدَّةٌ حَتَّى يَأْذَنَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ فَمَعَكُمْ مَعَكُمْ لَا مَعَ عَدُوِّكُمْ
And I testify I am a believer in you-asws and of your-asws return, convinced with laws of my religion and outcome of my deeds, and my heart is submissive to your-asws hearts, and my matters follow your-asws matters, and my help is prepared for you-asws until Allah-azwj Permits for you-asws!

صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ عَلَى أَرْوَاحِكُمْ وَ أَجْسَادِكُمْ وَ شَاهِدِكُمْ وَ غَائِبِكُمْ وَ ظَاهِرِكُمْ وَ بَاطِنِكُمْ آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَدْعُو بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ وَ تَنْصَرِفُ.
May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon you-asws all, and upon your-asws soul and your-asws bodies, and your-asws present ones and your-asws absent ones, and your-asws apparent and your-asws hidden! Ameen, Lord-azwj of the worlds!’ – and pray two units Salat and supplicate with whatever you like, and leave’’.[31]
و رواه السيد في الإقبال بإسناده عن التلعكبري إلى آخر ما مر سندا و متنا ثم قال فيه و في مصباح الزائر وجدت لهذه الزيارة وداعا يختص بها و هو أن تقف قدام الضريح و تقول السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ عَلِيٍّ الْمُرْتَضَى وَصِيِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ فَاطِمَةَ الزَّهْرَاءِ- سَيِّدَةِ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ
And the Seyyid reported it in ‘Al-Iqbal’, by his chain from Al-Talukbari up to the end of what has passed in attribution and text. Then he said in it and in ‘Misbah Al-Zaair’, ‘I found for this Ziyarat of the farewell specific with it and it is that you should pause in front of the Shrine and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww!

I testify you-asws had established the Salat and gave the Zakat, and instructed with the good and forbade from the evil, and fought in the way of Allah-azwj until the certainty (death) came to you-asws!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكَ أَتَيْتُكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ زَائِراً وَافِداً رَاغِباً مُقِرّاً لَكَ بِالذُّنُوبِ هَارِباً إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا لِتَشْفَعَ لِي عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ حَيّاً وَ مَيِّتاً فَإِنَّ لَكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَقَاماً مَعْلُوماً وَ شَفَاعَةً مَقْبُولَةً
And I testify you-asws are upon a proof from your-asws Lord-azwj! I have come to you-asws O my master, as a visitor, a delegate, desiring, accepting to you-asws with the sins, fleeing to you-asws from the misdeed for you-asws to intercede for me in the Presence of your-asws Lord-azwj, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww!

‘O Allah! Originator of the skies and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen! You will Judge between Your servants regarding what they were differing in’ [39:46] And they shall come to know, those who are being unjust, which overturning they would be Overturned with [26:227]!

(The book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’, (and) ‘Kamil Al Ziyaraat’ – It is narrated to me by Salim Bin Abdul Rahman,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who spends the night of the middle of Shaban in the land of Karbala, so he reads Surah Al Tawheed a thousand times, and seeks Forgiveness of Allah-azwj a thousand times, and praises Allah-azwj a thousand times, then he stands and prays four units Salat, reading in each unit Ayat Al Kursi a thousand times, Allah-azwj will Allocate two Angels with him protecting him from every evil, and from evil of every Satan-la, and ruler, and they will write his good deeds for him and will not write any evil deeds against him, and they will seek Forgiveness for him for as long as they are with him!’’[36]
أقول: و مما يناسب ليلة النصف من شعبان زيارة مولانا صاحب الزمان صلوات الله عليه بما سيأتي في باب زياراته فإنها ليلة ولادته عليه و على آبائه السلام.
I say, ‘And from what is appropriate on the night of the middle of Shaban is Ziyarat of our master, master of the time, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-ajfj, with what I shall bring in the chapter of his-ajfj Ziyarat, for it is a night of his-ajfj birth, upon him-ajfj and upon his-ajfj forefathers-asws be the greetings!’

He said what is this wording, and I have copied it from handwriting of the Sheykh Abu Al-Hassan Muhammad Haroun, may Allah-azwj Improve his inclination, he mentioned what its chain of attribution has been deleted,
He said, ‘And from Salat on the night of middle of Shaban by the grave of our chief Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws, is of four units, reading in each unit Surah Al Fatiha fifty times, reading ten times in the Ruk’u, and similar to that when you are upright from the Ruk’u, and similar to that in the two Sajdahs and between these, just as you had done in Salat, the glorification and supplicating after these.
فَتَقُولُ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي اسْتَجَبْتَ لِآدَمَ وَ حَوَّاءَ حِينَ قَالا رَبَّنا ظَلَمْنا أَنْفُسَنا وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنا وَ تَرْحَمْنا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخاسِرِينَ
You should say, ‘You-azwj are Allah-azwj Who Answered to Adam-as and Hawwa-as when they said: ‘Our Lord! We wronged ourselves, and if You do not Forgive us and have Mercy on us, we would become from the losers’ [7:23]!
وَ نَادَاكَ نُوحٌ فَاسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ وَ نَجَّيْتَهُ وَ آلَهُ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ أَطْفَأْتَ نَارَ نُمْرُودَ عَنْ خَلِيلِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَجَعَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ بَرْداً وَ سَلاماً

And You-azwj are the One Who Responded to Ayoub-as when he-as called out to You-azwj: ‘I am touched by the harm and You are the most Merciful of the merciful ones’ [21:83], so You-azwj Removed whatever from harm there was with him, and We Gave him (back) his family and the like of them along with them, being a Mercy [21:84] from You-azwj and as a Reminder for the ones of understanding!
وَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي اسْتَجَبْتَ لِذِي النُّونِ حِينَ نَادَاكَ فِي الظُّلُماتِ أَنْ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ فَنَجَّيْتَهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي اسْتَجَبْتَ لِمُوسَى وَ هَارُونَ دَعْوَتَهُمَا حِينَ قُلْتَ قَدْ أُجِيبَتْ دَعْوَتُكُما

وَ أَغْرَقْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ قَوْمَهُ وَ غَفَرْتَ لِدَاوُدَ ذَنْبَهُ وَ نَبَّهْتَ قَلْبَهُ وَ أَرْضَيْتَ خَصْمَهُ مِنْكَ وَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي فَدَيْتَ الذَّبِيحَ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ حِينَ أَسْلَما وَ تَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ فَنَادَيْتُهُ بِالْفَرَحِ وَ الرَّوْحِ
And You-azwj Drowned Pharaoh-la and his-la people and Forgave for Dawood-as his-as sin (offence), and You-azwj are the One Who Ransomed the sacrificed So when they both submitted, and he layed him down of the forehead [37:103] so You-azwj Called out to him-as with the joy and relief!

And You-azwj are the One Whom Zakariya-as had called out to You-azwj with a secretive calling [19:3] He said: ‘My Lord! Surely the bones have weakened from me, and the head shines with grey hair, and I have not been unfortunate in my supplication You, Lord!’ [19:4], and You-azwj Said: and they were supplicating to Us, hoping and fearing, and they were humble to Us [21:90]!
وَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي اسْتَجَبْتَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لِتَزِيدَهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ رَبِّ فَلَا تَجْعَلْنِي أَهْوَنَ الرَّاغِبِينَ إِلَيْكَ وَ اسْتَجِبْ لِي كَمَا اسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُمْ بِحَقِّهِمْ عَلَيْكَ طَهِّرْنِي وَ تَقَبَّلْ صَلَاتِي وَ حَسَنَاتِي وَ طَيِّبْ بَقِيَّةَ حَيَاتِي وَ طَيِّبْ وَفَاتِي
And You-azwj are the One Who Responded to those who believe and did righteous deeds for You-azwj to Increase them from Your-azwj Grace! Lord-azwj, do not Make me the least of those who long for You-azwj, and Respond to me as You-azwj Responded to them, by their right upon You-azwj! Purify me, accept my supplication and good deeds, Make the remainder of my life good, and Make my death good as well!
وَ اخْلُفْنِي فِيمَنْ أَخْلُفُ وَ احْفَظْهُمْ رَبِّ بِدُعَائِي وَ اجْعَلْ ذُرِّيَّتِي ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً تَحُوطُهَا بِحِيَاطَتِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا حُطْتَ مِنْهُ ذُرِّيَّةَ أَوْلِيَائِكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا رَحِيمُ
And Replace me among the ones I have left behind, and Protect them Lord-azwj due to my supplication, and Make my offspring a goodly offspring, and Protect them, my Lord-azwj, through my supplication, and make my offspring righteous offspring, surrounded by Your-azwj Protection from everything from which You-azwj have Protected the offspring of Your-azwj Chosen ones, by Your-azwj Mercy, O Merciful!
يَا مَنْ هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رَقِيبٌ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ سَائِلٍ قَرِيبٌ وَ لِكُلِّ دَاعٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ مُجِيبٌ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ
O the One Who is Able upon all things, and a Watcher upon all things, and Near to every request, and Responder to every supplication from His-azwj creatures! You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj the Living, the Eternal, the Eternal, the Firs, the Non-hollow! He-azwj did not beget nor is He-azwj begotten, and there does not happen to be anyone a match for Him-azwj!
تَمْلِكُ الْقُدْرَةَ الَّتِي عَلَوْتَ بِهَا فَوْقَ عَرْشِكَ وَ رَفَعْتَ بِهَا سَمَاوَاتِكَ وَ أَرْسَيْتَ بِهَا جِبَالَكَ وَ فَرَشْتَ بِهَا أَرْضَكَ وَ أَجْرَيْتَ بِهَا الْأَنْهَارَ وَ سَخَّرْتَ بِهَا السَّحَابَ وَ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ وَ اللَّيْلَ وَ النَّهَارَ وَ خَلَقْتَ بِهَا الْخَلَائِقَ
You-azwj Possess the Power by which You-azwj Rose above Your-azwj Throne, by which You-azwj Elevated Your-azwj skies, stabilised Your-azwj mountains, spread out Your-azwj earth, Caused the rivers to flow, Subjected the clouds, the sun, the moon, the night, and the day, and Created all creatures!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِعَظَمَةِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَتْ بِهِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ أَضَاءَتْ بِهِ الظُّلُمَاتُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَكْفِيَنِي أَمْرَ مَنْ يُعَادِينِي وَ أَمْرَ مَعَادِي وَ مَعَاشِي
I ask You-azwj by the Magnificence of Your-azwj Honourable Face the skies are illuminated and the darkness is dispelled, to send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Suffice me concerning the matter of those who oppose me, and the matters of my enemies and my livelihood!
وَ أَصْلِحْ يَا رَبِّ شَأْنِي وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَ أَصْلِحْ أَمْرَ وُلْدِي وَ عِيَالِي وَ أَغْنِنِي وَ إِيَّاهُمْ مِنْ خَزَائِنِكَ وَ سَعَةِ رِزْقِكَ وَ فَضْلِكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْعِفَّةَ فِي دِينِكَ وَ انْفَعْنِي بِمَا نَفَعْتَ بِهِ مَنِ ارْتَضَيْتَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ
And Rectify my affairs, O Lord-azwj, and do not Leave me to myself for the blink of an eye. Rectify the matters of my children and family, and Enrich me and them from Your-azwj treasures, the vastness of Your-azwj provision, and Your-azwj bounty. Grant me chastity in practicing Your-azwj religion, and Benefit me with what You-azwj have benefited those among Your-azwj servants whom You-azwj are pleased with!
وَ اجْعَلْنِي لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِماماً كَمَا جَعَلْتَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَإِنَّ بِتَوْفِيقِكَ يَفُوزُ الْمُتَّقُونَ وَ يَتُوبُ التَّائِبُونَ وَ يَعْبُدُكَ الْعَابِدُونَ وَ بِتَسْدِيدِكَ وَ إِرْشَادِكَ نَجَا الصَّالِحُونَ مِنَ النَّارِ
Make me a leader for the pious, just as You-azwj Made Ibrahim-as, for it is through Your-azwj Guidance that the righteous succeed, the repentant repent, the worshippers worship You-azwj, and by Your-azwj Support and Direction the righteous are saved from the Fire!
اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَ أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَ مَوْلَاهَا وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا
O Allah-azwj! Give my soul its piety, and You-azwj are in Charge of it, and its Master, and You-azwj are the Best of the ones to purify it!
اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّنْ لَهَا رَشَادَهَا وَ تَقْوَاهَا وَ نَزِّلْهَا مِنَ الْجِنَانِ أَعْلَاهَا وَ طَيِّبْ وَفَاتَهَا وَ مَحْيَاهَا وَ أَكْرِمْ مُنْقَلَبَهَا وَ مَثْوَاهَا وَ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَ مَأْوَاهَا أَنْتَ رَبُّهَا وَ مَوْلَاهَا
O Allah-azwj! Explain for it its rightful direction, and Dwell in from the Gardens its high part, and Make good its expiry and its life, and Make honourable its transfer and its abode and its settlement and its shelter! You-azwj are its Lord-azwj and its Master!
اللَّهُمَّ اسْمَعْ وَ اسْتَجِبْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ 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 صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ عِنْدَكَ وَ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِمْ لَدَيْكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! Listen and Respond by Your-azwj Mercy, by the status in Your-azwj Presence of Muhammad-saww, and Ali-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and 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 Muhammad-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 Al-Qaim-ajfj, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-ajfj and upon them-asws, and by their-asws status before You-azwj, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[37]

The Sheykh Al-Mufeed, may Allah-azwj Irradiate his shrine, said, ‘From the specific Ziyaraat is Ziyarat on the middle of Rajab named as Al-Ghufeyla.

The greeting be upon you-asws O martyr son-asws of the martyr! The greeting be upon you-asws O killed son-asws of the killed one!

The greeting be upon you-asws O Divine Authority of Allah-azwj and son-asws of His-azwj Divine Authority upon His-azwj creatures!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ أَقَمْتَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ آتَيْتَ الزَّكَاةَ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ رُزِئْتَ بِوَالِدَيْكَ وَ جَاهَدْتَ عَدُوَّكَ
I testify you-asws had established the Salat and gave the Zakat, and instructed with the good and forbade from the evil, and were afflicted by the tragedy of your-asws parents, and fought your-asws enemy!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ تَسْمَعُ الْكَلَامَ وَ تَرَدُّ الْجَوَابَ وَ أَنَّكَ حَبِيبُ اللَّهِ وَ خَلِيلُهُ وَ نَجِيُّهُ وَ صَفِيُّهُ وَ ابْنُ صَفِيِّهِ
And I testify you-asws hear the speech and respond the answer, and you-asws are a beloved of Allah-azwj and His-azwj friend, and His-azwj noble, and His-azwj elite and son-asws of His-azwj elite!
يَا مَوْلَايَ زُرْتُكَ مُشْتَاقاً فَكُنْ لِي شَفِيعاً إِلَى اللَّهِ يَا سَيِّدِي وَ أَسْتَشْفِعُ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِجَدِّكَ سَيِّدِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ بِأَبِيكَ سَيِّدِ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ بِأُمِّكَ فَاطِمَةَ سَيِّدَةِ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ
O my Master! I am visiting you-asws yearning, so be an intercessor to Allah-azwj for me, O my chief, and I seek intercession to Allah-azwj through your-asws grandfather-saww, chief of the Prophets-as, and through your-asws father-asws chief of the successors-as, and through your-asws mother-asws (Syeda) Fatima-asws chieftess of women of the worlds!
أَلَا لَعَنَ اللَّهُ قَاتِلِيكَ وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ ظَالِمِيكَ وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ سَالِبِيكَ وَ مُبْغِضِيكَ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ
Indeed! May Allah-azwj Curse your-asws killers, and may Allah-azwj Curse your-asws oppressors, and may Allah-azwj Curse your-asws plunderers and your-asws haters, from the former ones and the latter ones, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon our chief Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, the goodly, the pure!’
ثُمَّ قَبِّلِ الضَّرِيحَ وَ تَوَجَّهْ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ زُرْهُ فَقُلْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ ابْنَ مَوْلَايَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ قَاتِلِيكَ وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ ظَالِمِيكَ إِنِّيأَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِزِيَارَتِكُمْ وَ بِمَحَبَّتِكُمْ وَ أَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكُمْ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
Then kiss the Shrine and divert to Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws (Ali Al-Akbar-asws), and perform Ziyarat. Say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O my master and son-asws of my master! May Allah-azwj Curse your-asws killers, and may Allah-azwj Curse your-asws oppressors! I draw closer to Allah-azwj by visiting you-asws and through your-asws love, and I disavow to Allah-azwj from your-asws enemies, and the greeting be upon you-asws, O my master, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!’
ثُمَّ امْشِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ قُبُورَ الشُّهَدَاءِ فَقِفْ وَ قُلْ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْأَرْوَاحِ الْمُنِيخَةِ بِقَبْرِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا طاهرين [طَاهِرُونَ] مِنَ الدَّنَسِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا مَهْدِيُّونَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَبْرَارَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ عَلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْحَافِّينَ بِقُبُورِكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Then walk until you come to the graves of the martyrs, so pause and say, ‘The greeting be upon the souls resting by the grave of Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn-asws! The greeting be upon you O pure from the dirt! The greeting be upon you O guided ones! The greeting be upon you O righteous ones of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon the Angels surrounding your graves, altogether!
جَمَعَنَا اللَّهُ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ فِي مُسْتَقَرِّ رَحْمَتِهِ وَ تَحْتِ عَرْشِهِ إِنَّهُ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
May Allah-azwj Gather us and you all in the settlement of His-azwj Mercy and beneath His-azwj Throne, He-azwj is the most Merciful of the merciful ones, and the greeting be upon you all, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!’
ثُمَّ امْضِ إِلَى مَشْهَدِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَ مَشْهَدَهُ فَقِفْ عَلَى بَابِ الْقُبَّةِ وَ قُلْ سَلَامُ اللَّهِ وَ سَلَامُ مَلَائِكَتِهِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ.
Then continue to the Shrine of Al-Abbas-asws Bin Amir Al-Momineen-asws. When you come to his-asws Shrine, pause at a door of the dome and say, ‘The Greeting of Allah-azwj, and greeting of the Angels of Proximity!’’[38]
أقول: و ذكر مثل ما مر في باب زيارته رضي الله عنه.
I say, ‘And he mentioned similar to what has passed in the chapter of his-asws Ziyarat, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him-asws’.
بيان قوله ع تسمى بالغفيلة إنما سميت بذلك لغفلة عامة الناس عن فضلها و حرمانهم عنها قوله يا آل الله أي أتباعه و أولياءه و من يئول أمرهم إليه.
Explanation – His-asws words: ‘It is named as Al-Ghufeyla’ (the neglected), it has rather been named with that due to the generality of the people being heedless from its merits, and their being deprived from it. His-asws words: ‘O people of Allah-azwj’, i.e. His-azwj followers, and His-azwj friends, and ones in delegating their affairs to Him-azwj’.
رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ الرِّضَا ع فِي أَيِّ شَهْرٍ نَزُورُ الْحُسَيْنَ ع قَالَ فِي النِّصْفِ مِنْ رَجَبٍ وَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ.
It is reported from Ibn Abu Nasr who said,
‘I asked Al Reza-asws, ‘In which month should we visit Al-Husayn-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘In the middle of Rajab and the middle of Shaban’’.[39]
باب 28 زيارته ع في يوم ولادته
CHAPTER 45 – HIS-asws ZIYARAT DURING THE DAY OF HIS-asws BIRTH
و هو ثالث شعبان على المشهور و روي خامسه و قد مر القول فيه و أما كيفيته فلم نر فيه لفظا مخصوصا فليزره ع ببعض الزيارات المطلقة و ليدع بعد الصلاة بهذا الدعاء الذي يظهر من لفظه أن تلاوته عند قبره ع أنسب و أولى.
And it is the 3rd of Shaban based upon the well-known, and it is reported, its fifth, and the word regarding it has already passed, and as for its method, we did not see any word specified so let him visit him-asws as per some of the general Ziyarat texts, and let him supplicate after the Salat with this supplication which, it is apparent from its wording that its recitation by his-asws grave is more appropriate and foremost.
1- قَالَ الشَّيْخُ فِي الْمِصْبَاحِ وَ السَّيِّدُ بْنُ طَاوُسٍ فِي الْإِقْبَالِ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ الْهَمَدَانِيِّ وَكِيلِ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ ع أَنَّ مَوْلَانَا الْحُسَيْنَ ع وُلِدَ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ لِثَلَاثٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَصُمْهُ وَ ادْعُ فِيهِ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ
The Sheykh in ‘Al-Misbah’, and the Seyyid Bin Tawoos in ‘Al-Iqbal’, said, ‘There emerged to Al-Qasim Bin Al-A’ala Al-Hamdany a representative of Abu Muhammad-asws that our master Al-Husayn-asws was born on the day of Thursday the third of Shaban, therefore fast it and supplicate during it with this supplication –
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ الْمَوْلُودِ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ بِشَهَادَتِهِ قَبْلَ اسْتِهْلَالِهِ وَ وِلَادَتِهِ بَكَتْهُ السَّمَاءُ وَ مَنْ فِيهَا وَ الْأَرْضُ وَ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا وَ لَمَّا يَطَأْ لَابَتَيْهَا قَتِيلِ الْعَبْرَةِ وَ سَيِّدِ الْأُسْرَةِ الْمَمْدُودِ بِالنُّصْرَةِ يَوْمَ الْكَرَّةِ الْمُعَوَّضِ مِنْ قَتْلِهِ
‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the right of the new-born in this day, the Promised of his-asws martyrdom before his-asws cry and his-asws birth, for whom wept the sky and ones in it, and the earth and the ones upon it, and although he-asws had not yet set foot upon its plains. The one slain while tearful, the chief of the family, supported with victory on the Day of Return, to be compensated for his-asws being killed!
أَنَّ الْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ نَسْلِهِ وَ الشِّفَاءَ فِي تُرْبَتِهِ وَ الْفَوْزَ مَعَهُ فِي أَوْبَتِهِ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءَ مِنْ عِتْرَتِهِ بَعْدَ قَائِمِهِمْ وَ غَيْبَتِهِ حَتَّى يُدْرِكُوا الْأَوْتَارَ وَ يَثْأَرُوا الثَّأْرَ وَ يُرْضُوا الْجَبَّارَ وَ يَكُونُوا خَيْرَ أَنْصَارٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَعَ اخْتِلَافِ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ
The Imams-asws are from his-asws lineage, and the healing is in his-asws soil, and the success is with him-asws during his-asws return, and the successors-asws are from his-asws family after their-asws Qaim-ajfj and his-ajfj osculation until their-asws realise the vengeance and seek the retaliation, and please the Subduer, and they-asws become best of the helpers! May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon them-asws with the interchange of the night and the day!
اللَّهُمَّ فَبِحَقِّهِمْ إِلَيْكَ أَتَوَسَّلُ وَ أَسْأَلُ سُؤَالَ مُقْتَرِفٍ وَ مُعْتَرِفٍ مُسِيءٍ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ مِمَّا فَرَّطَ فِي يَوْمِهِ وَ أَمْسِهِ يَسْأَلُكَ الْعِصْمَةَ إِلَى مَحَلِّ رَمْسِهِ
O Allah-azwj! By their-asws rights I seek means to You-azwj, and I ask a request of the acknowledger and accepter of evil deeds to himself from what have been missed out during his days and his evenings, asking You-azwj for the Protection up to the place of his burial!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عِتْرَتِهِ وَ احْشُرْنَا فِي زُمْرَتِهِ وَ بَوِّئْنَا مَعَهُ دَارَ الْكَرَامَةِ وَ مَحَلَّ الْإِقَامَةِ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww family, and Gather us in his-saww group, and Grant us residence with him-saww in the House of Honours and the place of staying!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ كَمَا أَكْرَمْتَنَا بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ فَأَكْرِمْنَا بِزُلْفَتِهِ وَ ارْزُقْنَا مُرَافَقَتَهُ وَ سَابِقَتَهُ وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ يُسَلِّمُ لِأَمْرِهِ وَ يُكْثِرُ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِهِ وَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَوْصِيَائِهِ وَ أَهْلِ أَصْفِيَائِهِ الْمَمْدُودِينَ مِنْكَ بِالْعَدَدِ الِاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ النُّجُومِ الزُّهَرِ وَ الْحُجَجِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْبَشَرِ
O Allah-azwj, and just as You-azwj have Honoured us with his-saww recognition, Honour us and Grace us his-saww friendship, and his-as precedence, and Make us from the ones who submit to his-saww orders, and frequent the Salawaat upon him-asws at his-saww mention, and upon entirety of his-saww successors-asws and his-saww elite people, the extended from You-azwj with the number twelve, are the shining stars and the Divine Authority upon entirety of the mortals!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ هَبْ لَنَا فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ خَيْرَ مَوْهِبَةٍ وَ أَنْجِحْ لَنَا فِيهِ كُلَّ طَلِبَةٍ كَمَا وَهَبْتَ الْحُسَيْنَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ جَدِّهِ وَ عَاذَ فُطْرُسُ بِمَهْدِهِ فَنَحْنُ عَائِذُونَ بِقَبْرِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ نَشْهَدُ تُرْبَتَهُ وَ نَنْتَظِرُ أَوْبَتَهُ آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
O Allah-azwj, and Grant us on this day the best of gifts, and Fulfil for us every request, just as You-azwj Granted Al-Husayn-asws to Muhammad-saww, his-asws grandfather-saww, and just as (the Angel) Futrus sought refuge with his-asws cradle, we seek refuge with his-asws grave after him, we bear witness to his-asws soil, and we await his-asws return! Amen, Lord-azwj of the worlds!’
ثُمَّ تَدْعُو بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِدُعَاءِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ هُوَ آخِرُ دُعَائِهِ ع يَوْمَ كُوثِرَ
Then supplicate after that with supplication of Al-Husayn-asws, and it is last of his-asws supplications on the day of Kawser –
اللَّهُمَّ مُتَعَالِيَ الْمَكَانِ عَظِيمَ الْجَبَرُوتِ شَدِيدَ الْمِحَالِ غَنِيّاً عَنِ الْخَلَائِقِ عَرِيضَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ قَادِرٌ عَلَى مَا تَشَاءُ قَرِيبُ الرَّحْمَةِ صَادِقُ الْوَعْدِ سَابِقُ النِّعْمَةِ حَسَنُ الْبَلَاءِ قَرِيبٌ إِذَا دُعِيتَ مُحِيطٌ بِمَا خَلَقْتَ قَابِلُ التَّوْبَةِ لِمَنْ تَابَ إِلَيْكَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى مَا أَرَدْتَ وَ مُدْرِكٌ مَا طَلَبْتَ وَ شَكُورٌ إِذَا شُكِرْتَ وَ ذَكُورٌ إِذَا ذُكِرْتَ
‘O Allah-azwj, Exalted in Position, Mighty in Power, Severe in Might, Independent of Creation, Vast in Majesty, Able to do whatever You-azwj Desires, Near in Mercy, True to Your-azwj Promise, Preceding in Your-azwj Blessings, Excellent in Trials, Near when called upon, Encompassing all You-azwj have Created, Accepting repentance from those who turn to You-azwj, Able to do what You-azwj Intend, Attaining what You-azwj Seek, Thankful when thanked, Mentioning when mentioned!
أَدْعُوكَ مُحْتَاجاً وَ أَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ فَقِيراً وَ أَفْزَعُ إِلَيْكَ خَائِفاً وَ أَبْكِي إِلَيْكَ مَكْرُوباً وَ أَسْتَعِينُ بِكَ ضَعِيفاً وَ أَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ كَافِياً احْكُمْ بَيْنَنا وَ بَيْنَ قَوْمِنا بِالْحَقِ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَرُّونَا وَ خَدَعُونَا وَ غَدَرُوا بِنَا وَ قَتَلُونَا
I-asws call upon You-azwj in need, I-asws turn to You-azwj in poverty, I-asws flee to You-azwj in fear, I weep to You-azwj in distress, I-asws seek Your-azwj help in weakness, and I-asws rely upon You-azwj as the Sufficient One! Judge between us-asws and our-asws people in truth, for they deceived us-asws, betrayed us-asws, and killed us-asws!
وَ نَحْنُ عِتْرَةُ نَبِيِّكَ وَ وُلْدُ حَبِيبِكَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي اصْطَفَيْتَهُ بِالرِّسَالَةِ وَ ائْتَمَنْتَهُ عَلَى وَحْيِكَ فَاجْعَلْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
And we-asws are the Progeny-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-azwj and the children of Your-azwj Beloved Muhammad-azwj, son-saww of Abdullah-as, whom You-azwj Chose for the Message and entrusted with Your-azwj Revelation. So, Grant us relief and a way out from our-asws situation through Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[40]
قَالَ ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ سَمِعْتُ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ الْبَزَوْفَرِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَدْعُو بِهِ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ قَالَ هُوَ مِنْ أَدْعِيَةِ الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ وَ هُوَ مَوْلِدُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع.
Ibn Abbas said, ‘I heard Al-Husayn Bin Ali Bin Sufyan al Bazufary saying,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws supplicating with it during this day, and he-asws said: ‘It is from the supplications of the third day of Shaban, and it is the birthday of Al-Husayn-asws’’.[41]
