He-asws said: ‘I-asws too busy for you, but go to Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, he-asws will bestow it to you-asws!’
فَأَصْبَحَ فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي بِمَحْمِلٍ وَ وَطِّئُوا تَحْتِي وَ احْمِلُونِي إِلَى مَقَابِرِ قُرَيْشٍ
In the morning, he said, ‘Bring me a carriage, make it comfortable for me, and carry me to the graves of the Qureysh!’
فَفَعَلُوا بِهِ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ غَسَّلُوهُ وَ طَيَّبُوهُ وَ طَرَحُوا عَلَيْهِ ثَوْباً وَ حَمَلُوهُ إِلَى قَبْرِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فَلَاذَ بِهِ وَ دَعَا وَ أَخَذَ مِنْ تُرْبَتِهِ وَ طَلَى بِهِ يَدَهُ إِلَى الْكَتِفِ وَ شَدَّهَا
They did so after washing him, perfuming him, and placing a cloth over him. They carried him to the grave of Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws. He clung to it, prayed Salat, took some of its soil, and rubbed it on his hand up to his shoulder, then bandaged it.
فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ حَلَّهَا وَ قَدْ سَقَطَ كُلُّ لَحْمٍ وَ جِلْدٍ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى بَقِيَتْ عِظَاماً وَ عُرُوقاً وَ أَعْصَاباً مُشَبَّكَةً وَ انْقَطَعَتِ الرَّائِحَةُ وَ بَلَغَ خَبَرُهُ الْوَزِيرَ فَحُمِلَ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ عُولِجَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى الدِّيوَانِ وَ كَتَبَ بِهَا كَمَا كَانَ
When it was the next day, he unwrapped it and all the flesh and the skin, which was upon it had fallen off until there remained bones, and veins and intertwined nerves, and the odour had terminated, and its news reached the minister. He was carried to him until he looked at him. Then he was treated, so he returned to the registry and wrote with what had happened.
فَفِيهِ يَقُولُ صَالِحٌ الدَّيْلَمِيُ
| وَ مُوسَى قَدْ شَفَى الْكَفَ | مِنَ الْكَاتِبِ إِذْ زَارَا |
Salih Al-Daylami said regarding it (a couplet), ‘And Musa-asws healed a hand of the scribe when he visited’.[26]

(The book) ‘Kamil Al Ziyaraat’ – Muhammad Bin Ja’far Al Razzaz, from Muhammad Bin Isa Bin Ubeyd, from the one who mentioned it,
‘From Abu Al-Hassan-asws having said: ‘You should say at Baghdad, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O Guardian of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O Divine Authority of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O light of Allah-azwj in the darkness of the earth! The greeting be upon you-asws O the one there is manifestation of Allah-azwj in his-asws glory!
أَتَيْتُكَ زَائِراً عَارِفاً بِحَقِّكَ مُعَادِياً لِأَعْدَائِكَ فَاشْفَعْ لِي عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ
I have come to you-asws as a visitor recognising your-asws right, an enemy to your-asws enemies, so intercede for me in the Presence of your-asws Lord-azwj, O my master!’
قَالَ وَ ادْعُ اللَّهَ وَ اسْأَلْ حَاجَتَكَ
He-asws said: ‘Supplicate to Allah-azwj and ask your need’.
قَالَ وَ سَلِّمْ بِهَذَا عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ
He-asws said: ‘And greet with this upon Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws’.
وَ قَالَ قُلْ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ زِيَارَةَ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ تَنَظَّفْ وَ الْبَسْ ثَوْبَيْكَ الطَّاهِرَيْنِ وَ زُرْ قَبْرَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى ع وَ قُلْ حِينَ تَصِيرُ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع
And said: ‘Say, when you want visit Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws and Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws, bathe and cleanse, and wear your clean clothes and visit the grave of Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws and Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Musa-asws and say, when you come to be in the presence of the grave of Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws –
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نُورَ اللَّهِ فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْأَرْضِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَنْ بَدَا لِلَّهِ فِي شَأْنِهِ
‘The greeting be upon you-asws O Guardian of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O the Divine Authority of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O the light of Allah-azwj in darkness of the earth! The greeting be upon you-asws O the one there is manifestation of Allah-azwj in his-asws glory!
أَتَيْتُكَ زَائِراً عَارِفاً بِحَقِّكَ مُعَادِياً لِأَعْدَائِكَ مُوَالِياً لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ اشْفَعْ لِي عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ
I have come to you-asws as a visitor, recognising your-asws right, an enemy of your-asws enemies, a friend of your-asws friends! Intercede for me in the Presence of your-asws Lord-azwj, O my master!’
ثُمَّ سَلْ حَاجَتَكَ ثُمَّ سَلِّمْ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع بِهَذِهِ الْأَحْرُفِ وَ ابْدَأْ بِالْغُسْلِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْإِمَامِ الْبَرِّ التَّقِيِّ الرَّضِيِّ الْمَرْضِيِّ وَ حُجَّتِكَ عَلَى مَنْ فَوْقَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ مَنْ تَحْتَ الثَّرَى صَلَاةً كَثِيرَةً نَامِيَةً زَاكِيَةً مُبَارَكَةً مُتَوَاصِلَةً مُتَرَادِفَةً كَأَفْضَلِ مَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ
Then ask for what you need. Then greet Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws with these words and begin with the bathing, and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws, the Imam-asws, the righteous, the pious, the contented, the pleasing and Your-azwj Divine Authority upon the ones above the earths, and ones beneath the soil, abundant greeting, developing, pure, Blessed, connected, consecutive, like as superior as what You-azwj have Sent upon anyone of Your-azwj Guardians!

The greeting be upon you-asws O Guardian of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O light of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O Divine Authority of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O Imam-asws of the Momineen, and inheritor of the Prophets-as, and offspring of the successors-asws!

أَتَيْتُكَ زَائِراً عَارِفاً بِحَقِّكَ مُعَادِياً لِأَعْدَائِكَ مُوَالِياً لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ فَاشْفَعْ لِي عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ
I have come to you-asws as a visitor, recognising your-asws right, an enemy to your-asws enemies, a friend to your-asws friends, so intercede for me in the Presence of your-asws Lord-azwj, O my master!’
ثُمَّ سَلْ حَاجَتَكَ تُقْضَى إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى
Then ask your-asws need, it shall be fulfilled if Allah-azwj the Exalted so desires’.
قَالَ وَ تَقُولُ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع بِبَغْدَادَ وَ يُجْزِي فِي الْمَوَاطِنِ كُلِّهَا أَنْ تَقُولَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ أَصْفِيَائِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أُمَنَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ أَحِبَّائِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَنْصَارِ اللَّهِ وَ خُلَفَائِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَحَالِّ مَعْرِفَةِ اللَّهِ
He-asws said: ‘And you should say by the grave of Abu Al-Hassan-asws at Baghdad, and it suffices in all the places that you should say, ‘The greeting be upon the Guardians of Allah-azwj and His-azwj elites! The greeting be upon trustees of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Loved ones! The greeting be upon helpers of Allah-azwj and His-azwj caliphs! The greeting be upon places of recognition of Allah-azwj!
السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَسَاكِنِ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَظَاهِرِ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَ نَهْيِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الدُّعَاةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْمُسْتَقِرِّينَ فِي مَرْضَاةِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْمُمَحَّصِينَ فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْأَدِلَّاءِ عَلَى اللَّهِ
The greeting be upon dwellings of the Zikr of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon manifestations of the Commands of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Prohibitions! The greeting be upon the callers to Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon Allah-azwj upon the ones settled in the Pleasure of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon the one fortified in the obedience of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon the pointers to Allah-azwj!
السَّلَامُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مَنْ وَالاهُمْ فَقَدْ وَالَى اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ عَادَاهُمْ فَقَدْ عَادَى اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ عَرَفَهُمْ فَقَدْ عَرَفَ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ جَهِلَهُمْ فَقَدْ جَهِلَ اللَّهَ وَ مَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِهِمْ فَقَدِ اعْتَصَمَ بِاللَّهِ وَ مَنْ تَخَلَّى مِنْهُمْ فَقَدْ تَخَلَّى مِنَ اللَّهِ
The greeting be upon those who, one who befriends them-asws has befriended Allah-azwj, and the one inimical to them-asws is inimical to Allah-azwj, and one who recognises them-asws has recognised Allah-azwj, and one who ignores them-asws has ignored Allah-azwj, and one adhering to them-asws has adhered to Allah-azwj, and one isolating from them-asws has isolated from Allah-azwj!
أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ أَنِّي سِلْمٌ لِمَنْ سَالَمَكُمْ وَ حَرْبٌ لِمَنْ حَارَبَكُمْ مُؤْمِنٌ بِسِرِّكُمْ وَ عَلَانِيَتِكُمْ مُفَوِّضٌ فِي ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ
I testify to Allah-azwj, I am at peace to the one at peace with you-asws all and at war with the one being at war with you-asws, a believer in your-asws secrets and your-asws announcements, delegating in all of that to you-asws!
لَعَنَ اللَّهُ عَدُوَّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ أَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْهُمْ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ
May Allah-azwj Curse the enemy of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, from the Jinn and the humans, and I disavow to Allah-azwj from them, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws!’
وَ هَذَا يُجْزِي فِي الزِّيَارَاتِ [الْمَشَاهِدِ] كُلِّهَا وَ تُكْثِرُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ تُسَمِّي وَاحِداً وَاحِداً بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ وَ تَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ أَعَادِيهِمْ وَ تَخَيَّرُ لِنَفْسِكَ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ وَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ.
And suffices in the Ziyaraat of the Mausoleum, all of them, and frequent from the Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and name one by one with their-asws names, and disavow to Allah-azwj from their-asws enemies, and choose for yourself from the supplications, and for the believing men and the believing women’’.[28]
بَيَانٌ رُوِيَ فِي الْكَافِي، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازِ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ تُسَلِّمُ بِهَذَا عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع.
Explanation – It is reported in Al-Kafi, from Muhammad Bin Ja’far Al-Razzaz with this chain of attribution up to his-asws words: ‘And greet with this upon Abu Ja’far-asws.
ثُمَّ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبِي عَنْ إِتْيَانِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع قَالَ صَلُّوا فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ حَوْلَهُ وَ يُجْزِي فِي الْمَوَاضِعِ كُلِّهَا أَنْ تَقُولَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ أَصْفِيَائِهِ إِلَى آخِرِ مَا مَرَّ.
The Muhammad Bin Yahya said from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Ali Bin Hassan,
‘From Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘My-asws father-asws was asked about coming to the grave of Al-Husayn-asws. He-asws said: ‘Pray Salat in the Masjids around him-asws and it suffices in all the places that you say, ‘The greeting be upon Guardians of Allah-azwj and His-azwj elites’ – up to end of what has passed’’.[29]
3- وَ رَوَاهُ الشَّيْخُ فِي التَّهْذِيبِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ قَالَ: سُئِلَ الرِّضَا ع عَنْ إِتْيَانِ قَبْرِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع فَقَالَ صَلُّوا فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ حَوْلَهُ وَ ذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ.
And it is reported by the Sheykh in ‘Al Tahzeeb’ – From Muhammad Bin Yaqoub, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Yahya, from Haroub Bin Muslim, from Ali Bin Hassan who said,
‘Al-Reza-asws was asked about coming to Abu Al-Hassan-asws. He-asws said: ‘Pray Salat in the Masjids around it’ – and mentioned similar to it’’.[30]
4- أَقُولُ وَ ذَكَرَ الشَّيْخُ فِي التَّهْذِيبِ، فِي وَدَاعِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ع تَقِفُ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ كَوُقُوفِكَ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ لِلزِّيَارَةِ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ اللَّهَ وَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِالرَّسُولِ وَ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ وَ دَلَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّهُمَ فَاكْتُبْنا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ.
I say, and the Sheykh mentioned in ‘Al-Tahzeeb’ in bidding farewell to Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws, ‘Pause by the grave like your pausing the first time for the Ziyarat and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O my master, O Abu Al-Hassan-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! I entrust you-asws to Allah-azwj and convey the greeting upon you-asws believing in Allah-azwj and the Rasool-saww, and with whatever he-saww came with, and pointed to Him-azwj! O Allah-azwj, Write us with the testifiers!’’[31]
وَ قَالَ فِي وَدَاعِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع تَقِفُ عَلَيْهِ كَوُقُوفِكَ عَلَيْهِ حِينَ بَدَأْتَ بِزِيَارَتِهِ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ اللَّهَ وَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِرَسُولِهِ وَ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ وَ دَلَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ
And he said regarding bidding farewell to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘Pause to him-asws like your pausing to him-asws when you began his-asws Ziyarat, and you should say, ‘O my mater, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! I entrust you-asws to Allah-azwj and convey the greeting to you-asws believing in Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and whatever he-saww had come with, and pointed to Him-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ اكْتُبْنَا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Write us with the testifiers!’
ثُمَّ تَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْكَ وَ ادْعُ بِمَا شِئْتَ وَ قَبِّلِ الْقَبْرَ وَ ضَعْ خَدَّيْكَ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ.
Then ask Him-azwj not to Make it last of the pacts and supplicate with whatever you like, and kiss the grave, and place your cheek upon it, if Allah-azwj so Desires!’’[32]
5- أَقُولُ وَ قَالَ الصَّدُوقُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الْفَقِيهِ، إِذَا وَرَدْتَ بَغْدَادَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ تَنَظَّفْ وَ الْبَسْ ثَوْبَيْكَ الطَّاهِرَيْنِ وَ زُرْ قَبْرَيْهِمَا وَ قُلْ حِينَ تَصِيرُ إِلَى قَبْرِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ إِلَى آخِرِ مَا مَرَّ فِي كَلَامِ ابْنِ قُولَوَيْهِ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ الْإِمَامَيْنِ ع
I say, ‘And Al-Sadouq, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said in ‘Al-Faqeeh’, ‘When you arrive at Baghdad, if Allah-azwj so Desires, bathe and cleanse, and wear your clean clothes, and visit both their-asws graves, and say when you come to the grave of Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws! The greeting be upon you-asws, O Guardian of Allah-azwj!’ – up to the end of what has passed in the speech of Ibn Qawlawayh of Ziyarat of the two Imams-asws.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ثُمَّ صَلِّ فِي الْقُبَّةِ الَّتِي فِيهَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لِزِيَارَةِ مُوسَى ع وَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لِزِيَارَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ لَا تُصَلِّ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ مُوسَى ع فَإِنَّهُ يُقَابِلُ قُبُورَ قُرَيْشٍ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ اتِّخَاذُهَا قِبْلَةً.
Then he said, ‘Then pray Salat in the dome in which is Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws four units – two units for Ziyarat of Musa-asws, and two units for Ziyarat of Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws, and do not pray Salat by the head of Musa-asws, for it is said there are graves of Qureysh, and it is not allowed to take these as a Qiblah’’.[33]
6- أَقُولُ وَ رَوَى مُؤَلِّفُ الْمَزَارِ الْكَبِيرِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازِ بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ سَلِّمْ بِهَذَا عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع ثُمَّ قَالَ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الزِّيَارَةِ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْهَا سَبَّحْتَ تَسْبِيحَ الزَّهْرَاءِ ع وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ نَصَبْتُ يَدِي وَ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ عَظُمَتْ رَغْبَتِي فَاقْبَلْ يَا سَيِّدِي تَوْبَتِي وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي وَ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ نَصِيباً وَ إِلَى كُلِّ خَيْرٍ سَبِيلًا
I say, ‘And it is reported by compiler of ‘Al-Mazar Al-Kabeer’ – from Muhammad Bin Ja’far Al-Razzaz by the previous chain up to his-asws and greet upon Abu Ja’far-asws with this. Then he said, ‘The pray Salat of the Ziyarat. When you are free from it, glorify with the glorification of (Syeda) Fatima Al-Zahra-asws and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj I have raised my hands, and in what is with You-azwj my desire has grown great. So, Accept, O my Master, my repentance, Forgive me and Mercy me and Grant me a share in every good, and a path to every good!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اسْمَعْ دُعَائِي وَ ارْحَمْ تَضَرُّعِي وَ تَذَلُّلِي وَ اسْتِكَانَتِي وَ تَوَكُّلِي عَلَيْكَ فَأَنَا لَكَ سِلْمٌ لَا أَرْجُو نَجَاحاً وَ لَا مُعَافَاةً وَ لَا تَشْرِيفاً إِلَّا بِكَ وَ مِنْكَ
O Allah-azwj!

ثُمَّ صَلِّ لِكُلِّ إِمَامٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لِلزِّيَارَةِ وَ ادْعُ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ الِانْصِرَافَ فَوَدِّعْهُمَا ع وَ قُلْ بَعْدَ أَنْ وَقَفْتَ مِثْلَ مَا وَقَفْتَ أَوَّلًا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمَا يَا وَلِيَّيِ اللَّهِ أَسْتَوْدِعُكُمَا اللَّهَ وَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمَا السَّلَامَ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِالرَّسُولِ وَ بِمَا جِئْتُمَا بِهِ وَ دَلَلْتُمَا عَلَيْهِ
Then pray two units for Ziyarat of each Imam-asws and supplicate with whatever you like.

I entrust you-asws to Allah-azwj and convey the greeting to you-asws believing in Allah-azwj and the Rasool-saww, and with what you-asws had come with and pointed to!

O Allah-azwj! Write us with the testifiers!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَتِي إِيَّاهُمَا وَ ارْزُقْنِي مُرَافَقَتَهُمَا وَ احْشُرْنِي مَعَهُمَا وَ انْفَعْنِي بِحُبِّهِمَا وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمَا وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ.

9- وَ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ زِيَارَةَ الْإِمَامِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع فَيَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ ثُمَّ تَأْتِيَ الْمَشْهَدَ الْمُقَدَّسَ وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّكِينَةُ وَ الْوَقَارُ فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَهُ فَقِفْ عَلَى بَابِهِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى هِدَايَتِهِ لِدِينِهِ وَ التَّوْفِيقِ لِمَا دَعَا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ سَبِيلِهِ
And the Seyyid, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, said, ‘When you intend to visit the Imam Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, it is befitting that you bathe, then come to the Holy Mausoleum, and upon you should be the calmness and the dignity. When you come to him-asws, paused at his-asws door and say, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! There is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest! The Praise is for Allah-azwj upon His-azwj Guidance to His-azwj religion, and the inclination to what he-asws had called to of His-azwj way!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ أَكْرَمُ مَقْصُودٍ وَ أَكْرَمُ مَأْتِيٍّ وَ قَدْ أَتَيْتُكَ مُتَقَرِّباً إِلَيْكَ بِابْنِ بِنْتِ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى آبَائِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ أَبْنَائِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are the most Honourable of the ones aimed for, and the most Honourable of the ones come to, and I have come to You-azwj drawing closer to You-azwj through a son-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, may Your-azwj Salawaat be upon him-saww and upon his-saww forefathers-as, the pure, and his-saww sons-asws, the goodly!

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ أَصْفِيَاءُ اللَّهِ وَ خِيَرَتُهُ وَ حُجَّتُهُ الْبَالِغَةُ انْتَجَبَكُمْ بِعِلْمِهِ وَ جَعَلَكُمُ أَنْصَاراً لِدِينِهِ وَ قُوَّاماً بِأَمْرِهِ وَ خُزَّاناً لِحُكْمِهِ وَ حَفَظَةً لِسِرِّهِ وَ أَرْكَاناً لِتَوْحِيدِهِ وَ مَعَادِنَ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَ تَرَاجِمَةً لِوَحْيِهِ وَ شُهُوداً عَلَى عِبَادِهِ

اسْتَرْعَاكُمْ خَلْقَهُ وَ آتَاكُمْ كِتَابَهُ وَ خَصَّكُمْ بِكَرَائِمِ التَّنْزِيلِ وَ أَعْطَاكُمْ فَضَائِلَ التَّأْوِيلِ وَ جَعَلَكُمْ تَابُوتَ حِكْمَتِهِ وَ عَصَا عِزِّهِ وَ مَنَاراً فِي بِلَادِهِ وَ أَعْلَاماً لِعِبَادِهِ وَ أَجْرَى فِيكُمْ مِنْ رَوْحِهِ وَ عَصَمَكُمْ مِنَ الزَّلَلِ وَ طَهَّرَكُمْ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَ أَذْهَبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ آمَنَكُمْ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ

بِكُمْ تَمَّتِ النِّعْمَةُ وَ اجْتَمَعَتِ الْفُرْقَةُ وَ ائْتَلَفَتِ الْكَلِمَةُ وَ لَكُمُ الطَّاعَةُ الْمُفْتَرَضَةُ وَ الْمَوَدَّةُ الْوَاجِبَةُ وَ أَنْتُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ اللَّهِ النُّجَبَاءُ وَ عِبَادُهُ الْمُكْرَمُونَ
Through you-asws all the bounties are completed, and the sects are united, and the word is unified, and to you-asws is the obligatory obedience, and the obligation cordiality, and you-asws are Guardians of Allah-azwj, the captains, and His-azwj honourable servants!
أَتَيْتُكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ عَارِفاً بِحَقِّكَ مُسْتَبْصِراً بِشَأْنِكَ مُوَالِياً لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ مُعَادِياً لِأَعْدَائِكَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً
I have come to you-asws O the son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, recognising your-asws right, insightful with your-asws glory, a friend to your-asws friends, an enemy to your-asws enemies! May my father and my mother be (sacrificed for) you-asws! May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon you-asws and abundant greetings!’
الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَصِيِّ الْأَبْرَارِ وَ إِمَامِ الْأَخْيَارِ وَ عَيْبَةِ الْأَنْوَارِ وَ وَارِثِ السَّكِينَةِ وَ الْوَقَارِ وَ الْحِكَمِ
The Salawaat upon him-asws, may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon him-asws – ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household, and Send Salawaat upon Musa Bin Ja’far-asws, successor-asws of the righteous, and Imam-asws of the good people, and receptacle of the lights, and inheritor of the calmness and the dignity, and the wisdom!
وَ الْآثَارِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُحْيِي اللَّيْلَ بِالسَّهَرِ إِلَى السَّحَرِ بِمُوَاصَلَةِ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ حَلِيفِ السَّجْدَةِ الطَّوِيلَةِ وَ الدُّمُوعِ الْغَزِيرَةِ وَ الْمُنَاجَاةِ الْكَثِيرَةِ وَ الضَّرَاعَاتِ الْمُتَّصِلَةِ الْجَمِيلَةِ وَ مَقَرِّ النُّهَى وَ الْعَدْلِ وَ الْخَيْرِ وَ الْفَضْلِ وَ النَّدَى وَ الْبَذْلِ وَ مَأْلَفِ الْبَلْوَى وَ الصَّبْرِ وَ الْمُضْطَهَدِ بِالظُّلْمِ وَ الْمَقْبُورِ بِالْجَوْرِ وَ الْمُعَذَّبِ فِي قَعْرِ السُّجُونِ وَ ظُلَمِ الْمَطَامِيرِ
And the traces which he-asws had revived the night with the vigil up to the pre-dawn with continuously seeking the Forgiveness, companion of prolonged Sajdah, abundant tears, much supplication, heartfelt pleas, and constant beautiful Salats, the centre of wisdom, justice, goodness, virtue, generosity, and giving, familiar with affliction and patience, persecuted by injustice, buried under oppression, tormented in the depths of prisons and darkness of dungeons!
ذِي السَّاقِ الْمَرْضُوضِ بِحَلَقِ الْقُيُودِ وَ الْجَنَازَةِ الْمُنَادَى عَلَيْهَا بِذُلِّ الِاسْتِخْفَافِ وَ الْوَارِدِ عَلَى جَدِّهِ الْمُصْطَفَى وَ أَبِيهِ الْمُرْتَضَى وَ أُمِّهِ سَيِّدَةِ النِّسَاءِ بِإِرْثٍ مَغْصُوبٍ وَ وَلَاءٍ مَسْلُوبٍ وَ أَمْرٍ مَغْلُوبٍ وَ دَمٍ مَطْلُوبٍ وَ سَمٍّ مَشْرُوبٍ
His-asws leg was crushed by iron shackles, whose funeral was called upon with humiliation and disregard, the one who returned to his-asws grandfather-saww the Chosen One, his-asws father-asws the Nominated One, and his-asws mother-asws, chieftess of the women, of usurped inheritance, stolen guardianship, overpowered authority, and blood retaliation sought, and enforced poison drink!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ كَمَا صَبَرَ عَلَى غَيْظِ الْمِحَنِ وَ تَجَرَّعَ فِيكَ غُصَصَ الْكُرَبِ وَ اسْتَسْلَمَ لِرِضَاكَ وَ أَخْلَصَ الطَّاعَةَ لَكَ وَ مَحَضَ الْخُشُوعَ وَ اسْتَشْعَرَ الْخُضُوعَ وَ عَادَى الْبِدْعَةَ وَ أَهْلَهَا وَ لَمْ يَلْحَقْهُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَوَامِرِكَ وَ نَوَاهِيكَ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ
O Allah-azwj! And just as he endured the bitterness of trials with patience, swallowed the anguish of hardship for Your-azwj sake, submitted to Your-azwj Desire, purified his-asws obedience to You-azwj, perfected his-asws humility, embraced submissiveness, opposed innovation and its followers, and was never deterred in any of Your-azwj Commands or prohibitions by the blame of any critic!
صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ صَلَاةً نَامِيَةً مُنِيفَةً زَاكِيَةً تُوجِبُ لَهُ بِهَا شَفَاعَةَ أُمَمٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ قُرُونٍ مِنْ بَرَايَاكَ وَ بَلِّغْهُ عَنَّا تَحِيَّةً وَ سَلَاماً وَ آتِنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ فِي مُوَالاتِهِ فَضْلًا وَ إِحْسَاناً وَ مَغْفِرَةً وَ رِضْوَاناً إِنَّكَ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَمِيمِ وَ التَّجَاوُزِ الْعَظِيمِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
Send Salawaat upon him-asws, Salawaat that is ever-increasing, elevated, and pure, through which You-azwj Grant him-asws the intercession of nations from among Your-azwj creation and generations of Your-azwj beings. Convey to him-asws from us greetings and salutations, and Grant us patience from You-azwj, through our loyalty to him-asws, bounty, Kindness, Forgiveness, and Approval. Indeed, You-azwj are the Possessor of immense Grace and great Pardon! By Your-azwj Mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful ones!
ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيِ الزِّيَارَةِ وَ تَقُولُ عَقِيبَهُمَا وَ أَنْتَ قَائِمٌ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحُرْمَةِ مَنْ عَاذَ بِكَ مِنْكَ وَ لَجَأَ إِلَى عِزِّكَ وَ اسْتَظَلَّ بِفَيْئِكَ وَ اعْتَصَمَ بِحَبْلِكَ وَ لَمْ يَثِقْ إِلَّا بِكَ
Then pray two units of Salat for the Ziyarat and say as their follow-up while you are standing, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the sanctity of the one seeking Refuge with You-azwj and sheltering to Your-azwj Mighty, and seeking shade at Your-azwj Shade, and adhering to Your-azwj rope, and does not trust except with You-azwj!
يَا جَزِيلَ الْعَطَايَا يَا فَكَّاكَ الْأُسَارَى يَا مَنْ سَمَّى نَفْسَهُ مِنْ جُودِهِ وَهَّاباً أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِي مِنْ هَذَا الْمَقَامِ خَائِباً
O Giver of abundant gifts, O Liberator of the captives, O One who Named Himself-azwj out of His-azwj Generosity, the Bestower! I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and do not Turn me away from this place disappointed!
فَإِنَّ هَذَا مَقَامٌ تُغْفَرُ فِيهِ الذُّنُوبُ الْعِظَامُ وَ تُرْجَى فِيهِ الرَّحْمَةُ مِنَ الْكَرِيمِ الْعَلَّامِ مَقَامٌ لَا يَخِيبُ فِيهِ السَّائِلُونَ وَ لَا يُجْبَهُ فِيهِ بِالرَّدِّ الرَّاغِبُونَ مَقَامُ مَنْ لَاذَ بِمَوْلَاهُ رَغْبَةً وَ تَبَتَّلَ إِلَيْهِ رَهْبَةً مَقَامُ الْخَائِفِ مِنْ يَوْمٍ يَقُومُ فِيهِ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ
This is a station where great sins are Forgiven, and Mercy is hoped for from the Generous One, the All-Knowing. It is a station where those who ask are not let down, and those who seek are not turned away. It is the station of one who seeks refuge with his Master out of desire and turns to Him-azwj in awe. It is the station of one who fears A Day the people would be standing to Lord of the worlds [83:6]!
وَ لَا تَنْفَعُ فِيهِ شَفاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمنُ وَ كَانَ مِنَ الْفَائِزِينَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ لا يَنْفَعُ فِيهِ مالٌ وَ لا بَنُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ وَ أُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ وَ قِيلَ لَهُمْ هذا ما كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍ مَنْ خَشِيَ الرَّحْمنَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَ جاءَ بِقَلْبٍ مُنِيبٍ ادْخُلُوها بِسَلامٍ ذلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخُلُودِ
O Allah-azwj! And the Intercession will not benefit except one for whom the Beneficent Permits [20:109], and he would be from the successful ones on that Day, On a Day neither wealth nor sons would be of benefit [26:88] Except one who comes to Allah with an unblemished heart [26:89] And the Paradise will be brought near for the pious [26:90], and it will be Said to them: This is what you had been Promised – for every penitent one, preserving (the Limits) [50:32] Who fears the Beneficent in private and comes with a penitent heart [50:33] “Enter it in peace!” That would be the Day of eternal abiding [50:34]!
اللَّهُمَّ فَاجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُخْلَصِينَ الْفَائِزِينَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيمِ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ لِوَالِدَيَّ وَ لِوُلْدِي يَوْمَ الدِّينِ وَ أَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ وَ اخْلُفْ عَلَى أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي فِي الْغَابِرِينَ وَ اجْمَعْ بَيْنَنَا جَمِيعاً فِي مُسْتَقَرِّ رَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Make me from the sincere ones, the successful ones, and Make me from the inheritors of the Gardens of bliss, and Forgive for me and for my parents, and for my children on the Day of religion (Reckoning), and Join me with the righteous, and Replace upon my family and my children in the past, and Gather between us all in the settlement of Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of merciful ones!
وَ سَلِّمْنِي مِنْ أَهْوَالِ مَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ لِقَائِكَ حَتَّى تُبْلِغَنِي الدَّرَجَةَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مُرَافَقَةُ أَحِبَّائِكَ الَّذِينَ عَلَيْهِمْ دَلَلْتَ وَ بِالاقْتِدَاءِ بِهِمْ أَمَرْتَ وَ اسْقِنِي مِنْ حَوْضِهِمْ مَشْرَباً رَوِيّاً سَائِغاً هَنِيئاً لَا أَظْمَأُ بَعْدَهُ وَ لَا أَحْلَا عَنْهُ أَبَداً
And Grant me safety from the terrors that lie between me and meeting You-azwj, until You-azwj Raise me to the rank of being with Your-azwj Beloved ones, those whom You-azwj have pointed to as guides and whom You-azwj have Commanded us to follow. Let me drink from their basin a satisfying, pleasant, and pure drink, after which I will never thirst again and never turn away from it.
وَ احْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَتِهِمْ وَ تَوَفَّنِي عَلَى مِلَّتِهِمْ وَ اجْعَلْنِي فِي حِزْبِهِمْ وَ عَرِّفْنِي وُجُوهَهُمْ فِي رِضْوَانِكَ وَ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِنِّي رَضِيتُ بِهِمْ أَئِمَّةً وَ هُدَاةً وَ وُلَاةً فَاجْعَلْهُمْ أَئِمَّتِي وَ هُدَاتِي وَ وُلَاتِي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ لَا تُفَرِّقْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُمْ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ آمِينَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And Gather me in their-asws group, let me die adhering to their-asws faith, place me among their-asws group, and let me be counted among their-asws followers. Make me recognise their-asws faces in Your-azwj Pleasure and in Paradise, for I have accepted them-asws as my leaders, guides, and guardians. So, Make them-asws my leaders, my guides, and my guardians in this world and the Hereafter. Do not separate me from them-asws even for the blink of an eye, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, Ameen, O Lord-azwj of the worlds!’
وَ صَلِّ مَا تَخْتَارُ وَ ادْعُ بِمَا تُرِيدُ.
And pray whatever Salat you choose and supplicate with whatever you want’’.[38]
11- زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى يُزَارُ بِهَا صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَسْتَأْذِنُ بِمَا تَقَدَّمَ وَ تَقِفُ عَلَى ضَرِيحِهِ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا صَفْوَةَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نُورَ اللَّهِ فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْأَرْضِ

O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon him-asws, and upon the Imams-asws from his-asws forefathers-asws, and his-asws sons-asws, and Gather me in his-asws group, and Make me in his-asws party, and do not Deprive me of sighting him-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ فَكَمَا مَنَنْتَ عَلَيَّ بِوَلَايَتِهِ وَ بَصَّرْتَنِي طَاعَتَهُ وَ هَدَيْتَنِي لِمَوَدَّتِهِ وَ رَزَقْتَنِي الْبَرَاءَةَ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي مَعَهُ وَ مَعَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ آبَائِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ مَعَ مَنِ ارْتَضَيْتَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِوَلَايَتِهِ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ خَيْرَ النَّاصِرِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Just as You-azwj have Conferred upon me with his-asws Wilayah and Made me insightful of his-asws obedience, and Guided me to his-asws cordiality, and Graced me the disavowing from his-asws enemy, so I ask You-azwj to Make me with him-asws to Make me with him-asws, and with the Imams-asws from his-asws forefathers-asws, and his-asws sons-asws, by Your-azwj Mercy, and with the one You-azwj are Pleased with, from the Momineen, by his-asws Wilayah, O Lord-azwj of the worlds, and best of the helpers!’
ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ بِمَا تَقَدَّمَ فِي الزِّيَارَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَ تُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الزِّيَارَةِ وَ تَدْعُو بَعْدَهَا بِالدُّعَاءِ الَّذِي تَقَدَّمَ عَقِيبَ صَلَاةِ تِلْكَ الزِّيَارَةِ
Then Send Salawaat upon him-asws with what has preceded in the second Ziyarat and pray Salat of the Ziyarat, and supplicate after it with the supplication which has preceded as a follow-up of Salat of that Ziyarat.
ثُمَّ تَمْضِي فَتَقِفُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ ع وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ عَظُمَ الْبَلَاءُ وَ بَرِحَ الْخَفَاءُ وَ انْكَشَفَ الْغِطَاءُ وَ ضَاقَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَ مَنَعَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَ أَنْتَ يَا رَبِّ الْمُسْتَعَانُ وَ إِلَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ الْمُشْتَكَى
Then continue and pause by his-asws legs, and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! The affliction has intensified, the hidden has become exposed, the covering has been lifted, the earth has become constrained, and the sky has withheld, and You-azwj, O Lord-azwj, are the One from whom help is sought, and to You-azwj, O Lord-azwj, is the complaint!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الَّذِينَ فَرَضْتَ طَاعَتَهُمْ وَ عَرَّفْتَنَا بِذَلِكَ مَنْزِلَتَهُمْ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنَّا كَرْبَنَا قَرِيباً كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ أَوْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ يَا أَبْصَرَ النَّاظِرِينَ وَ يَا أَسْمَعَ السَّامِعِينَ وَ يَا أَسْرَعَ الْحَاسِبِينَ وَ يَا أَحْكَمَ الْحَاكِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, those the obedience to them-asws is obligated, and by that You-azwj Introduced us to their-asws status, and Relieved our distress from us like the blink of an eye, or even closer (less)! O the most Insightful of the beholders, and O most Listening of the listeners, and O Swiftest of the reckoners, and O Wisest of the judges!
يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا عَلِيُّ يَا عَلِيُّ يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا مُصْطَفَى يَا مُرْتَضَى يَا مُرْتَضَى يَا مُصْطَفَى انْصُرَانِي فَإِنَّكُمَا نَاصِرَايَ وَ اكْفِيَانِي فَإِنَّكُمَا كَافِيَايَ يَا صَاحِبَ الزَّمَانِ الْغَوْثَ الْغَوْثَ الْغَوْثَ أَدْرِكْنِي أَدْرِكْنِي أَدْرِكْنِي تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ النَّفَسُ ثُمَّ تَسْأَلُ حَاجَتَكَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْضَى بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ
O Muhammad-saww and O Ali-asws, O Ali-asws and O Muhammad-saww! O Mustafa-saww, O Murtaza-asws! O Murtaza-asws, O Mustafa-saww! Help me, for you-asws are my helpers, and Suffice me for you-asws are sufficient for me! O master of the time, the help, the help, the help! Rescue me, rescue me, rescue me!’ – saying until the breath is cut. Then ask your need, for it shall be fulfilled by the Permission of Allah-azwj.
ثُمَّ تَقِفُ عَلَى قَبْرِ الْجَوَادِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ تُقَبِّلُهُ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ الْبَرَّ التَّقِيَّ الْإِمَامَ الْوَفِيَّ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّضِيُّ الزَّكِيُّ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نَجِيَّ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا سَفِيرَ اللَّهِ
Then pause at the grave of Al-Jawad-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws, the righteous, the pious, the Imam-asws, the loyal!

And I testify that the one who follows you-asws is upon the truth and the guidance, and the one who denies you-asws and installs the enmity to you-asws is upon the straying and the regress!
أَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ مَا بَقِيتُ وَ بَقِيَ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ

O Allah-azwj, and just as he-asws fulfilled the due right of his-asws humility before You-azwj and took his full share of fear of You-azwj, then send Salawaat upon him-asws in multiples greater than what You-azwj have Sent upon any loyal servant whose obedience You-azwj Accepted and whose service You-azwj Approved. Convey to him-asws from us greetings and salutation, and Grant us through our loyalty to him-asws from Your-azwj Presence bounty, Kindness, Forgiveness, and satisfaction. Indeed, You-azwj are the Possessor of eternal Grace and beautiful Pardon!’
ثُمَّ صَلِّ صَلَاةَ الزِّيَارَةِ فَإِذَا سَلَّمْتَ فَقُلْ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ وَ أَنَا الْمَرْبُوبُ وَ أَنْتَ الْخَالِقُ وَ أَنَا الْمَخْلُوقُ وَ أَنْتَ الْمَالِكُ وَ أَنَا الْمَمْلُوكُ وَ أَنْتَ الْمُعْطِي وَ أَنَا السَّائِلُ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّازِقُ وَ أَنَا الْمَرْزُوقُ وَ أَنْتَ الْقَادِرُ وَ أَنَا الْعَاجِزُ وَ أَنْتَ الْقَوِيُّ وَ أَنَا الضَّعِيفُ

And You-azwj are the Remaining and I am the perishing, and You-azwj are the Judge and I am the judged, and You-azwj are the Resurrector and I am the resurrected, and You-azwj are the Rich and I am the poor, and You-azwj are the Living and I am the dead! O Lord-azwj! You-azwj will find someone else to Punish and I will not find one who will mercy me, apart from You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ قَرِّبْ فَرَجَهُمْ وَ ارْحَمْ ذُلِّي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ تَضَرُّعِي إِلَيْكَ وَ وَحْشَتِي مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ أُنْسِي بِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Draw their-asws relief near, and Mercy my humility in front of You-azwj, and my beseeching to You-azwj, and my loneliness from the people and my being comforted with You-azwj, O Benevolent!
ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقْ عَلَيَّ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ تُهْدِىءُ بِهَا قَلْبِي وَ تَجْمَعُ بِهَا أَمْرِي وَ تَلُمُّ بِهَا شَعَثِي وَ تُبَيِّضُ بِهَا وَجْهِي وَ تُكْرِمُ بِهَا مَقَامِي وَ تَحُطُّ بِهَا عَنِّي وِزْرِي وَ تَغْفِرُ بِهَا مَا مَضَى مِنْ ذُنُوبِي وَ تَعْصِمُنِي فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِي وَ تَسْتَعْمِلُنِي فِي ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ مَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي
Then Bestow upon me at this very moment a Mercy from Your-azwj presence by which You-azwj Calm my heart, Unify my affairs, gather my scattered state, Brighten my face, Honour my position, Remove from me my burdens, Forgive my past sins, Protect me in what remains of my life, Utilise me in all of this through obedience to You-azwj and in that which pleases You-azwj concerning me!
وَ تَخْتِمُ عَمَلِي بِأَحْسَنِهِ وَ تَجْعَلُ لِي ثَوَابَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ تَسْلُكُ بِي سَبِيلَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ تُعِينُنِي عَلَى صَالِحِ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي كَمَا أَعَنْتَ الصَّالِحِينَ عَلَى صَالِحِ مَا أَعْطَيْتَهُمْ
And End my deeds with the best of them, Make Paradise as their Reward for me, Lead me on the path of the righteous, Assist me in using the bounties You-azwj have Given me in righteous ways just as You-azwj Helped the righteous use what You-azwj Gave them!
وَ لَا تَنْزِعْ مِنِّي صَالِحاً أَعْطَيْتَنِيهِ أَبَداً وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِي فِي سُوءٍ اسْتَنْقَذْتَنِي مِنْهُ أَبَداً وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوّاً وَ لَا حَاسِداً أَبَداً وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ أَبَداً وَ لَا أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ لَا أَكْثَرَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And neither Take away from me any goodness You-azwj have Granted me, nor Return me to any evil You-azwj have Rescued me from, nor Give my enemies or the envious cause to rejoice over me, and do not Allocate me to myself for even the blink of an eye, neither less than that nor more, O Lord-azwj of the worlds!

O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Show me the truth as true so I follow it, and the falsehood as false so I shun it, and do not Make it suspect upon me so I follow my whims without Guidance from You-azwj, and Make my whims pursuant to Your-azwj obedience, and Take the Pleasure of Your-azwj Self from my self, and Guide me by Your-azwj Permission to the truth regarding that in which there is disagreement! Indeed, You-azwj Guide whom You-azwj Desire to a straight path!’
ثُمَّ ادْعُ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ.
The supplicate with whatever you like’’.[39]

أَشْهَدُ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ أَنَّكَ أَقَمْتَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ آتَيْتَ الزَّكَاةَ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ جَاهَدْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ وَ عَبَدْتَ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصاً حَتَّى أَتَاكَ الْيَقِينُ فَعِشْتَ سَعِيداً وَ مَضَيْتَ شَهِيداً يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ مَعَكُمْ فَأَفُوزَ فَوْزاً عَظِيماً وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
I testify, O Guardian of Allah-azwj, you-asws have 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 as is the right of fighting, and worshipped Allah-azwj sincerely until the certainty (death) came to you-asws!

CHAPTER 52 – MERIT OF MASJID BARASA AND THE ACTS OF WORSHIP IN IT
1- شف، كشف اليقين وَجَدْتُ بِخَطِّ الْمُحَدِّثِ الْأَخْبَارِيِّ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمَشْهَدِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مَشَايِخِهِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ وَ كَانَ خَادِمَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ: لَمَّا رَجَعَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع مِنْ قِتَالِ أَهْلِ النَّهْرَوَانِ نَزَلَ بَرَاثَا وَ كَانَ بِهَا رَاهِبٌ فِي قَلَّايَتِهِ وَ كَانَ اسْمُهُ الْحُبَابَ
(The book) ‘Kashf Al Yaqeen’ – I found in the handwriting of the Akhbari Muhammad Bin Al Mash’hadi, by his chain from Muhammad Bin Al Qasim, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from his elders, from Suleyman Al Amsh,
‘From Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari-ra who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Anas Bin Malik, and he was a servant of Rasool-Allah-saww. He said, ‘When Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws returned from battling the people of Al-Nahrwan (Kharijites), he-asws descended at Barasa, and there was a monk in his Hermitage, and his name was Al Hubab.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الرَّاهِبُ الصَّيْحَةَ وَ الْعَسْكَرَ أَشْرَفَ مِنْ قَلَّايَتِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى عَسْكَرِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَاسْتَفْظَعَ ذَلِكَ فَنَزَلَ مُبَادِراً فَقَالَ مَنْ هَذَا وَ مَنْ رَئِيسُ هَذَا الْعَسْكَرِ
When the monk heard the noise and the soldiers, he looked from his Hermitage to the ground. He looked at the soldiers of Amir Al-Momineen-asws. He was alarmed by that, so he descended quickly. He said, ‘Who is this one, and who is the head of this army?’
فَقِيلَ لَهُ هَذَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ قَدْ رَجَعَ مِنْ قِتَالِ أَهْلِ النَّهْرَوَانِ
It was said to him, ‘This is Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and he-asws has returned from battling the people of Al-Nahrwan’.
فَجَاءَ الْحَبُابُ مُبَادِراً يَتَخَطَّى النَّاسَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَقّاً حَقّاً
Al-Hubab came rushing, cleaving through the people until he paused at Amir Al-Momineen-asws. He said, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws, truly, truly!’
فَقَالَ وَ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِأَنِّي أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَقّاً حَقّاً
He-asws said: ‘And what makes you know that I-asws are Amir Al-Momineen-asws truly, truly?’
قَالَ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ أَخْبَرَنَا عُلَمَاؤُنَا وَ أَحْبَارُنَا
He said to him-asws, ‘With that we have been informed by our scholars and our monks!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا حُبَابُ
He-asws said to him: ‘O Hubab!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّاهِبُ وَ مَا عِلْمُكَ بِاسْمِي
The monk said to him-asws, ‘And what makes you-asws know of my name?’
فَقَالَ أَعْلَمَنِي بِذَلِكَ حَبِيبِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص
He-asws said: ‘My-asws beloved Rasool-Allah-saww met me know of that!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحُبَابُ مُدَّ يَدَكَ فَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَنَّكَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَصِيُّهُ
Al Hubab said to him-asws, ‘Extend y our-asws hand for I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is Rasool-Allah-saww, and you Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws are his-asws successor-asws!’
فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ أَيْنَ تَأْوِي
Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘And where is your shelter?’
فَقَالَ أَكُونُ فِي قَلَّايَةٍ لِي هَاهُنَا
He said, ‘I tend to be in a silo of mine over here!
فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بَعْدَ يَوْمِكَ هَذَا لَا تَسْكُنْ فِيهَا وَ لَكِنِ ابْنِ هَاهُنَا مَسْجِداً وَ سَمِّهِ بِاسْمِ بَانِيهِ
Amir Al-Momineen-asws said to him: ‘After this day of yours, do not dwell in it, but build a Masjid over here and name it with the name of its builder!’
فَبَنَاهُ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ بَرَاثَا فَسُمِّيَ الْمَسْجِدُ بَرَاثَا بِاسْمِ الْبَانِي لَهُ
It was built by a man whose name was Barasa, so it was named as ‘Al-Masjid Barasa’, by the name of its builder.
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ مِنْ أَيْنَ تَشْرَبُ يَا حُبَابُ
Then he-asws said: ‘And from where do you drink, O Hubab?’
فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ دِجْلَةَ هَاهُنَا
He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, from Dajla (river Tigris) over here!’
قَالَ فَلِمَ لَا تَحْفِرُ هَاهُنَا عَيْناً أَوْ بِئْراً
He-asws said: ‘Neither dig a spring over here nor a well!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كُلَّمَا حَفَرْنَا بِئْراً وَجَدْنَاهَا مَالِحَةً غَيْرَ عَذْبَةٍ
He said to him-asws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Every time we dig a well, we find it with salty water, not fresh!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع احْفِرْ هَاهُنَا بِئْراً
Amir Al-Momineen-asws said to him: ‘Dig a well over here!’
فَحَفَرَ فَخَرَجَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ صَخْرَةٌ لَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا قَلْعَهَا فَقَلَعَهَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَانْقَلَعَتْ عَنْ عَيْنٍ أَحْلَى مِنَ الشَّهْدِ وَ أَلَذَّ مِنَ الزُّبْدِ
He dug, and a rock emerged to them. They were not able upon uprooting it. Amir Al-Momineen-asws uprooted it. It was uprooted from a spring sweeter than honey, and more delicious than the butter.
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا حُبَابُ يَكُونُ شُرْبُكَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْعَيْنِ أَمَا إِنَّهُ يَا حُبَابُ سَتُبْنَى إِلَى جَنْبِ مَسْجِدِكَ هَذَا مَدِينَةٌ وَ تَكْثُرُ الْجَبَابِرَةُ فِيهَا وَ يَعْظُمُ الْبَلَاءُ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيُرْكَبُ فِيهَا كُلَّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ فَرْجٍ حَرَامٍ.
He-asws said to him: ‘O Hubab! Your drinking will be from this spring. But surely, O Hubab! A city will be built to the side of this Masjid of yours, and there will be many tyrants in it, and the afflictions will be mighty. Seventy thousand forbidden private parts will be mounted upon in it every Thursday night!’’[42]

(The book) ‘The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the Sheykh Al Tusi – Al Mufeed, from Ali Bin Bilal, from Ismail Bin Ali Bin Abdul Rahman, from his father, from Isa Bin Humeyd, from his father Bin Qays, from Ali Bin Al-Husayn Bin Ali Bin Al-Husayn, from his father who said,
‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘When Amir Al-Momineen-asws returned from the event of the Kharijites, he-asws passed by Al-Zawra. He-asws said to the people: ‘It is Al-Zawra, so travel and keep aside from it, for the submergence is quicker to it than the peg in the bran!’
فَلَمَّا أَتَى مَوْضِعاً مِنْ أَرْضِهَا قَالَ مَا هَذِهِ الْأَرْضُ
When he-asws came to a place from its land, he-asws said: ‘What is this land?’
قِيلَ أَرْضُ نَجْرَا
It was said, ‘The land of Najra’.
فَقَالَ أَرْضُ سِبَاخٍ جَنِّبُوا وَ يَمِّنُوا
He-asws said: ‘It is salty, barren land! Avoid it and turn right!’
فَلَمَّا أَتَى يَمْنَةَ السَّوَادِ إِذَا هُوَ بِرَاهِبٍ فِي صَوْمَعَةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا رَاهِبُ أَنْزِلُ هَاهُنَا
When he-asws came to the right of the desert, there was a mong in a Hermitage. He-asws said to him: ‘O Monk! Come down over here!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّاهِبُ لَا تَنْزِلْ هَذِهِ الْأَرْضَ بِجَيْشِكَ
The Monk said to him-asws, ‘Do not descend in this land with your-asws army!’
قَالَ وَ لِمَ
He-asws said: ‘And why not?’
قَالَ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَنْزِلُهَا إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ أَوْ وَصِيُّ نَبِيٍّ بِجَيْشِهِ يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ هَكَذَا نَجِدُ فِي كُتُبِنَا
He said, ‘Because none shall descend in it except a Prophet-as or a successor-as of a Prophet-as, with his-as army fighting in the way of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic! This is how we find it in our book!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَنَا ذَلِكَ
Amir Al-Momineen-asws said to him: ‘I-asws am that one!’
فَنَزَلَ الرَّاهِبُ إِلَيْهِ
So, the Monk descended to him-asws.
فَقَالَ خُذْ عَلَيَّ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ نَعْتَكَ وَ أَنَّكَ تَنْزِلُ أَرْضَ بَرَاثَا بَيْتَ مَرْيَمَ وَ أَرْضَ عِيسَى ع
He said, ‘Take upon me the laws of Al-Islam! I have found your-asws attributes in the Evangel, and you-asws are descending in the land of Barasa, a house of Maryam-as and land of Isa-as!’
فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قِفْ وَ لَا تُخْبِرْنَا بِشَيْءٍ
Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Stop, and do not inform us with anything!’
ثُمَّ أَتَى مَوْضِعاً فَقَالَ الْكُزُوا هَذَا
Then he came to a place. He said: ‘Strike this!’
فَلَكَزَهُ بِرِجْلِهِ ع فَانْبَجَسَتْ عَيْنٌ خَرَّارَةٌ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ عَيْنُ مَرْيَمَ الَّتِي أُنْبِعَتْ لَهَا
He-asws kicked with his-asws leg and a gushing spring erupted. He-asws said: ‘This is the spring of Maryam-as which had sprung for her-as!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ اكْشِفُوا هَاهُنَا عَلَى سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ ذِرَاعاً
Then he-asws said: ‘Remove (the soil) over here for seventeen cubits!’
فَكُشِفَ فَإِذَا بِصَخْرَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فَقَالَ ع عَلَى هَذِهِ وَضَعَتْ مَرْيَمُ عِيسَى مِنْ عَاتِقِهَا وَ صَلَّتْ هَاهُنَا
It was removed, and there was a white rock. He-asws said: ‘Upon this Maryam-as placed down Isa-as from her-as shoulder and she-as prayed over here!’
فَنَصَبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع الصَّخْرَةَ وَ صَلَّى إِلَيْهَا وَ أَقَامَ هُنَاكَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَيَّامٍ يُتِمُّ الصَّلَاةَ وَ جَعَلَ الْحَرَمَ فِي خَيْمَةٍ مِنَ الْمَوْضِعِ عَلَى دَعْوَةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَرْضُ بَرَاثَا هَذَا بَيْتُ مَرْيَمَ ع هَذَا الْمَوْضِعُ الْمُقَدَّسُ صَلَّى فِيهَا الْأَنْبِيَاءُ
Amir Al-Momineen-asws set up the rock and prayed towards it, and stayed over there for four days, completing the Salat (not shortening), and he-asws made the sanctuary in a tent from the place to call upon. Then he-asws said: ‘Land of Barasa! This is a house of Maryam-as! This is the Holy place! The Prophets-as have prayed in it!’
قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ لَقَدْ وَجَدْنَا أَنَّهُ صَلَّى فِيهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَبْلَ عِيسَى ع.
Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali-asws said: ‘We-asws find that Ibrahim-as had prayed in it before Isa-as!’’[43]

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib of Ibn Shehr Ashub’ – Al Haris Al Awr, and Amro Bin Hureys, and Abu Ayoub,
‘From Amir Al-Momineen-asws, when he-asws returned from the event of the Kharijites, he-asws descended on the right of the desert. A Monk said to him-asws, ‘None shall descend over here except a successor-as of a Prophet-as fighting in the way of Allah-azwj!’
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَأَنَا سَيِّدُ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَصِيُّ سَيِّدِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ
Ali-asws said: ‘I-asws am chief of the successors-as, successor-asws of chief of the Prophets-as!’
قَالَ فَإِذاً أَنْتَ أَصْلَعُ قُرَيْشٍ وَصِيُّ مُحَمَّدٍ خُذْ عَلَيَّ الْإِسْلَامَ إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ نَعْتَكَ وَ أَنْتَ تَنْزِلُ مَسْجِدَ بَرَاثَا بَيْتَ مَرْيَمَ وَ أَرْضَ عِيسَى
He said, ‘The you-asws are the short-haired one of Qureysh, successor-asws of Muhammad-saww! Take Al-Islam upon me. I have found your-asws description in the Evangel, and you-asws have descended at Masjid Barasa, a house of Maryam-as and land of Isa-as!’
قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَاجْلِسْ يَا حُبَابُ
Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Be seated, O Hubab!’
قَالَ وَ هَذِهِ دَلَالَةٌ أُخْرَى
He said, ‘And this is another evidence!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ فَانْزِلْ يَا حُبَابُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الصَّوْمَعَةِ وَ ابْنِ هَذَا الدَّيْرَ مَسْجِداً
Then he-asws said: ‘Descend, O Hubab, from this Hermitage, and build this Monastery as a Masjid!’
فَبَنَى حُبَابٌ الدَّيْرَ مَسْجِداً وَ لَحِقَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِهَا مُقِيماً حَتَّى قُتِلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَعَادَ حُبَابٌ إِلَى مَسْجِدِهِ بِبَرَاثَا.
So, Hubab built the Monastery as a Masjid and joined Amir Al-Momineen-asws to Al-Kufa. He did not cease to stay at it until Amir Al-Momineen-asws was killed. Hubab returned to his Masjid at Barasa’’.[45]
5- وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أَنَّ الرَّاهِبَ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ أَنَّهُ يُصَلِّي فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ إِيلِيَا وَصِيُّ الْبَارِقْلِيطَا مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّينَ الْخَاتِمِ لِمَنْ سَبَقَهُ مِنْ أَنْبِيَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ فِي كَلَامِ كَثِيرٍ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ فَلْيَتَّبِعِ النُّورَ الَّذِي جَاءَ بِهِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّهُ يُغْرَسُ فِي آخِرِ الْأَيَّامِ بِهَذِهِ الْبُقْعَةِ شَجَرَةٌ لَا يَفْسُدُ ثَمَرَتُهَا.
And in a report – ‘The Monk said, ‘I view that he will pray Salat in this place, Elia successor of Bariqlita, Muhammad-saww, a Prophet-as of the illiterates, the last of the ones preceding from the Prophets-as of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Messengers-as in many speeches.

And in a report by Zazan –
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘And from where is your drinking?’
قَالَ مِنْ دِجْلَةَ
He said, ‘From (river) Dajlah (Tigris)!’
قَالَ وَ لِمَ لَمْ تَحْفِرْ عَيْناً تَشْرَبُ مِنْهَا
He-asws said: ‘And why did you not dig a spring to drink from?’
قَالَ قَدْ حَفَرْتُهَا فَخَرَجَتْ مَالِحَةً
He-asws said: ‘I had dug it, but salty water came out’.
قَالَ فَاحْتَفِرِ الْآنَ بِئْراً أُخْرَى
He-asws said: ‘Dig another well now!’
فَاحْتَفَرَ فَخَرَجَ مَاؤُهَا عَذْباً
He dug and its water came out as fresh.
فَقَالَ يَا حُبَابُ لِيَكُنْ شُرْبُكَ مِنْ هَاهُنَا وَ لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدُ مَعْمُوراً فَإِذَا خَرَّبُوهُ وَ قَطَعُوا نَخْلَهُ حَلَّتْ بِهِمْ أَوْ قَالَ بِالنَّاسِ دَاهِيَةٌ.
He-asws said: ‘O Hubab! Let your drink be from ever here and this Masjid should not cease to be as built up. When they ruin it and cut down its palm trees, a calamity will be released with them’ – or said: ‘With the people’’.[47]
7- وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَيْسِ فَأَتَى أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَوْضِعاً مِنْ تِلْكَ الْمُلَيِّنَةِ فَرَكَلَهَا بِرِجْلِهِ فَانْبَجَسَتْ عَيْنٌ خَرَّارَةٌ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ عَيْنُ مَرْيَمَ
And in a report by Muhammad Bin al Qays,
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws came to its places from that (called) Al-Mulayyana. He-asws struck it with his-asws leg, and a spring emerged gushing forth. He-asws said: ‘This is the spring of Maryam-as!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ احْتَفِرُوا هَاهُنَا سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ ذِرَاعاً
Then he-asws said: ‘Dig seventeen cubits over here!’
فَاحْتَفَرُوا فَإِذَا صَخْرَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ فَقَالَ هَاهُنَا وَضَعَتْ مَرْيَمُ عِيسَى مِنْ عَاتِقِهَا وَ صَلَّتْ هَاهُنَا
They dug, and there was a white rock. He-asws said: ‘Over here, Maryam-as had placed Isa-as from her-as shoulder and prayed over here!’
فَنَصَبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع الصَّخْرَةَ وَ صَلَّى إِلَيْهَا وَ أَقَامَ هُنَاكَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.
Amir Al-Momineen-asws set up the rock and prayed towards it, and he-asws stayed over there for our days’’.[48]
8- وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ الْبَاقِرِ ع قَالَ: هَذِهِ عَيْنُ مَرْيَمَ الَّتِي أُنْبِعَتْ لَهَا وَ اكْشِفُوا هَاهُنَا سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ ذِرَاعاً
And in a report by Al-Baqir-asws, he (Amir Al-Momineen-asws) said: ‘This is the spring of Maryam-as which had sprung for her-as, and remove seven cubits (of soil) over here!’
فَكُشِفَ فَإِذَا صَخْرَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ الْخَبَرَ.
It was removed, and there was a white rock’ – the Hadeeth’’.[49]
9- وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعُ الْمُقَدَّسُ صَلَّى فِيهِ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ
And in a report – ‘This is the Holy place. The Prophets-as have prayed in it!’
وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ لَقَدْ وَجَدْنَا أَنَّهُ صَلَّى فِيهِ قَبْلِي عِيسَى.
And Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘And we-asws find: ‘Isa-as had prayed in it before me-asws!’’[50]
10- وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى صَلَّى فِيهِ الْخَلِيلُ ع.
And in another report – ‘The friend (Ibrahim-as) had prayed in it’’.[51]
11- وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع صَاحَ فَقَالَ يَا بِئْرُ بِالْعِبْرَانِيِّ اقْرُبْ إِلَيَّ
And it is reported that Amir Al-Momineen-asws shouted. He-asws said: ‘O well of the Hebrews, come closer to me-asws!’
فَلَمَّا عَبَرَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَ كَانَ فِيهِ عَوْسَجٌ وَ شَوْكٌ عَظِيمٌ فَانْتَضَى سَيْفَهُ وَ كَسَحَ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ هَاهُنَا قَبْرَ نَبِيٍّ مِنْ أَنْبِيَاءِ اللَّهِ
When he-asws crossed over to the Masjid, and there were thorny bushes and large thorns in it. He-asws drew out his-asws sword and cleared that, all of it, and said: ‘Over here is a grave of a Prophet-as from the Prophets-as of Allah-azwj!’
وَ أَمَرَ الشَّمْسَ أَنِ ارْجِعِي فَرَجَعَتْ وَ كَانَ مَعَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَأَقَامَ الْقِبْلَةَ بِخَطِّ الْإِسْتِوَاءِ وَ صَلَّى إِلَيْهَا.
And he-asws ordered the sun to return, so it returned, and with him-asws were thirteen men from his-asws companions. He-asws established the Qiblah by the line of the equator and prayed Salat to it’’.[52]
بيان: هذا المسجد الآن موجود و هو قريب من وسط الطريق من بغداد إلى مشهد الكاظمين ع و يستحب الصلاة و طلب الحوائج فيه و ذكر بعض الأصحاب أنه يستحب الصلاة في مسجد شمس خارج الحلة و هو المسجد الذي رد فيه الشمس على أمير المؤمنين صلوات الله عليه بعد وفاة النبي ص و هو أيضا الآن معمور و معروف.
Explanation – This Masjid is still present today and is located near the middle of the road from Baghdad to the shrine of the to Imams-asws Al-Kazimayn. It is recommended to pray Salat and seek Blessings there. Some of the companions mentioned that it is recommended to pray Salat in the Masjid Shams, located outside of Hilla, which is the Masjid where the sun was returned for Amir Al-Momineen-asws, after the expiry of the Prophet-saww! This Masjid is also still in use and well-known.
رَوَى الْجَمَاعَةُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا عَلِيٌّ ع بِبَرَاثَا بَعْدَ رُجُوعِهِ مِنْ قِتَالِ الشُّرَاةِ وَ نَحْنُ زُهَاءُ مِائَةِ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ فَنَزَلَ نَصْرَانِيٌّ مِنْ صَوْمَعَتِهِ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ عَمِيدُ هَذَا الْجَيْشِ
It is reported by the group from Jabir Al-Ansari-ra who said, ‘Ali-asws prayed Salat with us at Barasa after his-asws return from battling the evil ones (Kharijites), and we were more than a hundred thousand men. A Christian descended from his Monastery. He said, ‘Where is the general of this army?’
فَقُلْنَا هَذَا
We said: ‘This one!’
فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْتَ نَبِيٌّ
He turned to him-asws and greeting unto him-asws, then said, ‘O my chief! Are you-asws a Prophet-as?’
قَالَ لَا النَّبِيُّ سَيِّدِي قَدْ مَاتَ
He-asws said: ‘No. The Prophet-saww, my-asws chief, has passed away’.
قَالَ أَ فَأَنْتَ وَصِيُّ نَبِيٍّ
He said, ‘Are you-asws a successor-as of a Prophet-as?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ
He-asws said: ‘Yes’.
فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا بَنَيْتُ الصَّوْمَعَةَ مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَ هُوَ بِبَرَاثَا وَ قَرَأْتُ فِي الْكُتُبِ الْمُنْزَلَةِ أَنَّهُ لَا يُصَلِّي فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ بِذَا الْجَمْعِ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ أَوْ وَصِيُّ نَبِيٍّ
He said, ‘But rather, the Monastery was built for the reason of this place, and it is Barasa, and I have read in the Revealed Books that no one shall pray Salat in this place with the crowd except a Prophet-as or a successor-as of a Prophet-as!’
ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ
Then he became a Muslim.
فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ ع مَنْ صَلَّى هَاهُنَا
Ali-asws said to him: ‘Who has prayed over here?’
قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَ أُمُّهُ
He said, ‘Isa Ibn Maryam-as and his-as mother-as’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ ع وَ الْخَلِيلُ ع.
Ali-asws said to him: ‘And so has the friend (of the Beneficent, Ibrahim-as)!’’[53]

He-asws said: ‘It is the land of Tous, and by Allah-azwj, it is a Garden from the Gardens of Paradise! One who visits me-asws in that spot would be like the one who visits Rasool-Allah-saww, and Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted will Write for him, due to that, Rewards of a thousand accomplished Hajj, and a thousand Accepted Umrah, and I-asws and my-asws forefathers-asws would be his intercessors on the Day of Qiyamah!’’[55]

He said, ‘I heard him-asws saying, meaning Abu Ja’far-asws: ‘One who visits the grave of my-asws father-asws at Tous, it will be Forgiven for him whatever he had sent ahead of his sins and whatever he had delayed.

He-asws said to him: ‘O person of Tous! One who visits the grave of Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws, and he knows that he-asws is an Imam-asws from Allah-azwj of obedience obligatory upon the servants, Allah-azwj will Forgive for him what he had sent ahead and what he had delayed, and his intercession will be Accepted regarding seventy sinners, and he will not ask Allah-azwj Majestic and Mighty of any need in the presence of his-asws grave except He-azwj will Fulfil it for him!’

ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا طُوسِيُّ إِنَّهُ الْإِمَامُ وَ الْخَلِيفَةُ وَ الْحُجَّةُ بَعْدِي وَ إِنَّهُ سَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ صُلْبِهِ رَجُلٌ يَكُونُ رِضًى لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي سَمَائِهِ وَ لِعِبَادِهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ يُقْتَلُ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ بِالسَّمِّ ظُلْماً وَ عُدْوَاناً وَ يُدْفَنُ بِهَا غَرِيباً
Then he-asws turned to him and said to him: ‘O person of Tous! He-asws is the Imam-asws, and the caliph, and the Divine Authority after me, and a man will be emerging from his-asws lineage. He-asws will be pleasing for Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic in His-azwj sky, and to His-azwj servants in His-azwj earth! He-asws will be killed in your land with the poison, unjustly, and aggressively, and he-asws will be buried in it, estranged!

I say, ‘Some reports regarding the merit of visiting him-asws, have already been mentioned in the sections on the virtue of visiting Al-Husayn-asws, and some will be mentioned in the following section. Then know that visiting him-asws, on virtuous days and noble times is more excellent, especially on the days specifically associated with him-asws, such as the day of his –asws birth, which is the 11th of Zul Qadah, or the day of his-asws expiry, which is either the end of the month of Safar, or the 17th of it, or the 24th of the month of Ramazan, and the day he-asws was pledged allegiance for the caliphate, which is either the 1st of Ramazan or the 6th of it’.

And I saw in one of the compilations of our companions who said, ‘It is mentioned in the book ‘Fasl Al Khitaab’,
‘From Al-Reza-asws, he-asws said: ‘One who undertakes a journey to visit me-asws, his supplication will be Answered and his sins will be Forgiven for him!

The one who visits me in that spot would be like the one who visits Rasool-Allah-saww, and there shall be written for him Rewards of a thousand accomplished Hajj, and a thousand Accepted Umrah, and I-asws and my-asws forefathers-asws would be his intercessors on the Day of Qiyamah, and this spot is a Garden from the Gardens of Paradise, and an interchange of the Angels.

(The book) ‘Uyoun Akhbar Al-Reza-asws’, may the greeting be upon him-asws – ‘It is mentioned by our Sheykh Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan in his ‘Jamie’. He said,
‘Whenever you want to visit Al-Reza-asws at Tous, bathe before your going out from your house and say when you bathe, ‘O Allah-azwj! Purify me and Purify my heart for me, and Expand my chest for me, Cause to flow upon my tongue Your-azwj Praise and laudation upon You-azwj, for there is no strength except with You-azwj! O Allah-azwj! Make it for me as a purifier and a healing!’
وَ تَقُولُ حِينَ تَخْرُجُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ إِلَى ابْنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ تَوَجَّهْتُ وَ إِلَيْكَ قَصَدْتُ وَ مَا عِنْدَكَ أَرَدْتُ

O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj I have diverted, and to You-azwj I have aimed, and what is in Your-azwj Possession, I want!’
فَإِذَا خَرَجْتَ فَقِفْ عَلَى بَابِ دَارِكَ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي وَ عَلَيْكَ خَلَّفْتُ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ مَا خَوَّلْتَنِي وَ بِكَ وَثِقْتُ فَلَا تُخَيِّبْنِي
When you go out, pause at the door of your house and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj I have diverted my face, and upon You-azwj I have left behind my family and my wealth and whatever You-azwj have Bestowed upon me, and with You-azwj I have trusted, so do not disappoint me!

Then pray Salat of the Ziyarat and glorify and gift it to him-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, the Permanent in His-azwj Kingdom, the Eternal in His-azwj Mighty, the Obeyed in His-azwj Authority, and Unique in His-azwj Greatness, the One in eternality of His-azwj Remaining, the Just among His-azwj Created beings, the Knower in His-azwj Decrees, the Benevolent in delaying His-azwj Punishment!
إِلَهِي حَاجَاتِي مَصْرُوفَةٌ إِلَيْكَ وَ آمَالِي مَوْقُوفَةٌ لَدَيْكَ وَ كُلَّمَا وَفَّقْتَنِي بِخَيْرٍ فَأَنْتَ دَلِيلِي عَلَيْهِ وَ طَرِيقِي إِلَيْهِ يَا قَدِيراً لَا تَئُودُهُ الْمَطَالِبُ يَا مَلِيّاً يَلْجَأُ إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ رَاغِبٍ مَا زِلْتُ مَصْحُوباً مِنْكَ بِالنِّعَمِ جَارِياً عَلَى عَادَاتِ الْإِحْسَانِ وَ الْكَرَمِ
My God-azwj! My needs are directed to You-azwj, and my hopes are placed before You-azwj. You-azwj Harmonise me to good, You-azwj are my Pointer to it and my path towards it. O All-Powerful, whom no request burdens! O Generous One, to whom every seeker turns! I have always been accompanied by Your-azwj bounties, flowing upon me according to Your-azwj constant ways of Kindness and Benevolence!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِالْقُدْرَةِ النَّافِذَةِ فِي جَمِيعِ الْأَشْيَاءِ وَ قَضَائِكَ الْمُبْرَمِ الَّذِي تَحْجُبُهُ بِأَيْسَرِ الدُّعَاءِ وَ بِالنَّظْرَةِ الَّتِي نَظَرْتَ بِهَا إِلَى الْجِبَالِ فَتَشَامَخَتْ وَ إِلَى الْأَرَضِينَ فَتَسَطَّحَتْ وَ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ فَارْتَفَعَتْ وَ إِلَى الْبِحَارِ فَتَفَجَّرَتْ
I ask You-azwj by the penetrating Power that Implements through all things, and by Your-azwj Decisive Decree which You-azwj withhold through the simplest of supplication, and by the glance with which You-azwj looked upon the mountains and they rose high, upon the earths and they spread out, upon the skies and they were elevated, and upon the seas and they gushed forth!
يَا مَنْ جَلَّ عَنْ أَدَوَاتِ لَحَظَاتِ الْبَشَرِ وَ لَطُفَ عَنْ دَقَائِقِ خَطَرَاتِ الْفِكَرِ لَا تُحْمَدُ يَا سَيِّدِي إِلَّا بِتَوْفِيقٍ مِنْكَ يَقْتَضِي حَمْداً وَ لَا تُشْكَرُ عَلَى أَصْغَرِ مِنَّةٍ إِلَّا اسْتَوْجَبْتَ بِهَا شُكْراً
O You-azwj Who is far above being perceived by the tools of human sight and too subtle to be grasped by the finest thoughts of the mind! You-azwj are not praised, my Master, except by an inclination from You-azwj that itself requires praise, nor are You-azwj thanked for the smallest Favour except that it obligates further gratitude.
فَمَتَى تُحْصَى نَعْمَاؤُكَ يَا إِلَهِي وَ تُجَازَى آلَاؤُكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ تُكَافَى صَنَائِعُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي وَ مِنْ نِعَمِكَ يَحْمَدُ الْحَامِدُونَ وَ مِنْ شُكْرِكَ يَشْكُرُ الشَّاكِرُونَ وَ أَنْتَ الْمُعْتَمَدُ لِلذُّنُوبِ فِي عَفْوِكَ وَ النَّاشِرُ عَلَى الْخَاطِئِينَ جَنَاحَ سِتْرِكَ وَ أَنْتَ الْكَاشِفُ لِلضُّرِّ بِيَدِكَ
So, when can Your-azwj bounties be counted, O my God-azwj, and Your-azwj Favours be rewarded O my Master, and Your-azwj Dealings be repaid O my Chief, and for Your-azwj bounties the praising ones praise, and for Your-azwj Appreciation the grateful ones appreciate, and You-azwj are the relied upon for the sins regarding Your-azwj Pardon, and the Spreader of the wings of Your-azwj concealment upon the wrongdoers, and You-azwj are Remover of the harm by Your-azwj Hand!
فَكَمْ مِنْ سَيِّئَةٍ أَخْفَاهَا حِلْمُكَ حَتَّى دَخِلَتْ وَ حَسَنَةٍ ضَاعَفَهَا فَضْلُكَ حَتَّى عَظُمَتْ عَلَيْهَا مُجَازَاتُكَ جَلَلْتَ أَنْ يُخَافَ مِنْكَ إِلَّا الْعَدْلُ وَ أَنْ يُرْجَى مِنْكَ إِلَّا الْإِحْسَانُ وَ الْفَضْلُ فَامْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِمَا أَوْجَبَهُ فَضْلُكَ وَ لَا تَخْذُلْنِي بِمَا يَحْكُمُ بِهِ عَدْلُكَ
How many sins has Your-azwj Forbearance concealed until they were overlooked, and how many good deeds has Your-azwj Grace multiplied until the reward for them became immense. Exalted are You-azwj that nothing is to be feared from You-azwj except Justice, and nothing is to be hoped from You-azwj except Kindness and Favour! So Grant me, by what Your-azwj Grace necessitates, and do not forsake me by what Your-azwj Justice Decrees!
سَيِّدِي لَوْ عَلِمَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِذُنُوبِي لَسَاخَتْ بِي أَوِ الْجِبَالُ لَهَدَّتْنِي أَوِ السَّمَاوَاتُ لَاخْتَطَفَتْنِي أَوِ الْبِحَارُ لَأَغْرَقَتْنِي
My Chief, if the earth knew of my sins, it would swallow me, or if the mountains knew, they would crush me, or if the skies knew, they would snatch me away, or if the seas knew, they would drown me!
سَيِّدِي سَيِّدِي سَيِّدِي مَوْلَايَ مَوْلَايَ مَوْلَايَ قَدْ تَكَرَّرَ وُقُوفِي لِضِيَافَتِكَ فَلَا تَحْرِمْنِي مَا وَعَدْتَ الْمُتَعَرِّضِينَ لِمَسْأَلَتِكَ
My Chief! My Chief! My Chief! My Master! My Master! My Master! I have repeatedly stood at the door of Your-azwj Hospitality, so do not Deprive me of what You-azwj have Promised those who turn to You-azwj in need.
يَا مَعْرُوفَ الْعَارِفِينَ يَا مَعْبُودَ الْعَابِدِينَ يَا مَشْكُورَ الشَّاكِرِينَ يَا جَلِيسَ الذَّاكِرِينَ يَا مَحْمُودَ مَنْ حَمِدَهُ يَا مَوْجُودَ مَنْ طَلَبَهُ يَا مَوْصُوفَ مَنْ وَحَّدَهُ يَا مَحْبُوبَ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ يَا غَوْثَ مَنْ أَرَادَهُ يَا مَقْصُودَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَيْهِ

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تُبْ عَلَيَّ وَ عَلَى وَالِدَيَّ بِمَا تُبْتَ وَ تَتُوبُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

1- يب، تهذيب الأحكام مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَمَّامٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ رَوْحٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ هَاشِمٍ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع قَبْرِي بِسُرَّمَنْرَأَى أَمَانٌ لِأَهْلِ الْجَانِبَيْنِ.
(The book) ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkaam’ – Muhammad Bin Hammam, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Jamhour, from Al Husayn Bin Rawh, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, from Muhammad Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Hashim Al Ja’fari who said,
‘Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws said to me: ‘My-asws grave at Surmanray will be a security for people of all two sides’’.[116]
2- ما، الأمالي للشيخ الطوسي الْفَحَّامُ عَنِ الْمَنْصُورِيِّ عَنْ عَمِّ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلْإِمَامِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع عَلِّمْنِي يَا سَيِّدِي دُعَاءً أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ
(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the Sheyk Al Tusi – Al Fahham, from Al Mansoury, from an uncle of his father who said,
‘I said to the Imam Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, ‘O my Chief! Teach me a supplication I can draw closer to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic with!’
فَقَالَ لِي هَذَا دُعَاءٌ كَثِيراً مَا أَدْعُو بِهِ وَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ لَا يُخَيِّبَ مَنْ دَعَا بِهِ فِي مَشْهَدِي وَ هُوَ
He-asws said to me: ‘This is a supplication what I frequently supplicate with, and I-asws have asked Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic not to disappoint the one who supplicates with it in my-asws Mausoleum, and it is –
يَا عُدَّتِي عِنْدَ الْعُدَدِ وَ يَا رَجَائِي وَ الْمُعْتَمَدُ وَ يَا كَهْفِي وَ السَّنَدُ وَ يَا وَاحِدُ يَا أَحَدُ وَ يَا قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ أَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِحَقِّ مَنْ خَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ لَمْ تَجْعَلْ فِي خَلْقِكَ مِثْلَهُمْ أَحَداً صَلِّ عَلَى جَمَاعَتِهِمْ وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا.
‘O my Resource during the scarcity, and O my Hope, and the Reliance, and O my Refuge, and the Support, and O the One, and O ‘Say He-azwj Allah-azwj is One’! I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, by the right of the one You-azwj Created from Your-azwj creation and did not Make among Your-azwj creatures, anyone the likes of them! Send Salawaat upon their group and Do such and such with me!’’[117]
3- عُدَّةُ الدَّاعِي، رُوِيَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ لَهُ شَيْءٌ مُوَظَّفٌ عَلَى الْخَلِيفَةِ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ فَغَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَطَعَهُ عِدَّةَ سَنَوَاتٍ فَدَخَلَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى مَوْلَانَا أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْهَادِي ع فَحَكَى لَهُ صُدُودَهُ عَنْهُ وَ طَلَبَ مِنْهُ أَنَّهُ ع إِذَا اجْتَمَعَ بِهِ أَنْ يَذْكُرَهُ عِنْدَهُ وَ يَشْفَعَ لَهُ بِرَدِّ جَائِزَتِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ
(The book) ‘Uddat Al Daie’ –
‘It is reported that a man used to have something from the award for him by the caliph every year. He was angered upon him and cut it off for a number of years. The man entered to see our master Abu Al-Hassan Al-Hadi-asws. He narrated to him-asws of his blocking from him and sought from him-asws, whenever he-asws gathers with him, he should mention him in his presence and intercede for him for the reinstatement of his awards. Then the man went out.
فَلَمَّا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ الْخَلِيفَةُ يَسْتَدْعِيهِ فَتَأَهَّبَ الرَّجُلُ وَ خَرَجَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِ الْخَلِيفَةِ فَلَمْ يَصِلْ حَتَّى وَافَاهُ عِدَّةُ رُسُلٍ كُلٌّ يَقُولُ أَجِبْ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
When it was the night, the caliph sent a summons to him. So, the man prepared and went out to the house of the caliph. He did not arrive until a number of messengers met him, each one saying, ‘Answer the commander of the faithful!’
فَلَمَّا وَصَلَ إِلَى الْبَوَّابِ قَالَ لَهُ جَاءَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ هُنَا
When he arrived to the gatekeeper, he said to him, ‘Did Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-asws come here?’
قَالَ الْبَوَّابُ لَا
The gatekeeper said, ‘No’.
فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَى الْخَلِيفَةِ قَرَّبَهُ وَ أَدْنَاهُ وَ أَمَرَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ مَا انْقَطَعَ عَنْ جَائِزَتِهِ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَ لَهُ الْبَوَّابُ وَ يُسَمَّى الْفَتْحَ قُلْ لَهُ يُعَلِّمُنِي الدُّعَاءَ الَّذِي دَعَا لَكَ بِهِ
When he entered to see the caliph, he welcomed him and drew him closer and ordered for him with all what had been cut off from his awards. When he went out, the gatekeeper said to him, and he was named as Al-Fat’h, ‘Tell him-asws to teach me the supplication which he-asws had supplicated for you with!’
ثُمَّ فِيمَا بَعْدُ دَخَلَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع فَلَمَّا بَصُرَ بِهِ قَالَ هَذَا وَجْهُ الرِّضَا
Then afterwards, the man entered to see Abu Al-Hassan-asws. When he-asws sighted him, he-asws said: ‘This is the face of a contented man!’
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ لَكِنْ قَالُوا إِنَّكَ مَا جِئْتَ إِلَيْهِ
He said, ‘Yes, but they said you-asws had not gone to him!’
فَقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَوَّدَنَا أَنْ لَا نَلْجَأَ فِي الْمُهِمَّاتِ إِلَّا إِلَيْهِ وَ لَا نَسْأَلَ سِوَاهُ فَخِفْتُ أَنْ أُغَيِّرَ فَيُغَيِّرَ مَا بِي
Abu Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj has Accustomed us-asws that we-asws should no resort regarding the important matters, except to Him-azwj, nor should we-asws ask apart from Him-azwj, so I-asws feared that if I-asws were to change, it would change whatever is with me-asws’.
فَقَالَ يَا سَيِّدِي الْفَتْحُ يَقُولُ يُعَلِّمُنِي الدُّعَاءَ الَّذِي دَعَا لَكَ بِهِ
He said, ‘O my chief! Al-Fat’h said, ‘He-asws should teach me the supplication which he-asws had supplicated for you with!’’
فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْفَتْحَ يُوَالِينَا بِظَاهِرِهِ دُونَ بَاطِنِهِ الدُّعَاءُ لِمَنْ دَعَا بِهِ بِشَرْطِ أَنْ يُوَالِيَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ لَكِنَّ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ كَثِيراً مَا يَدْعُو بِهِ عِنْدَ الْحَوَائِجِ فَتُقْضَى وَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ لَا يَدْعُوَ بِهِ بَعْدِي أَحَدٌ عِنْدَ قَبْرِي إِلَّا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ
He-asws said: ‘Al-Fat’h befriends us outwardly, not inwardly. The supplication is for the one who supplicates with it with a condition that he should befriend us-asws, People-asws of the Household. But this supplication is frequently supplicated with during the needs, so they are fulfilled, and I-asws had asked Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic that no one should supplicate with it by my-asws grave except it should be Answered for him!’
ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الدُّعَاءَ كَمَا مَرَّ.
Then he-asws mentioned the supplication just as has passed’’.[118]
4- ما، الأمالي للشيخ الطوسي الْفَحَّامُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّيِّبِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُطَّةَ وَ كَانَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْمَشْهَدَ وَ يَزُورُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الشُّبَّاكِ فَقَالَ لِي جِئْتُ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ نِصْفَ نَهَارِ ظَهِيرٍ وَ الشَّمْسُ تَغْلِي وَ الطَّرِيقُ خَالٍ مِنْ أَحَدٍ وَ أَنَا فَزِعٌ مِنَ الدُّعَاةِ وَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَلَدِ الْجُفَاةِ إِلَى أَنْ بَلَغْتُ الْحَائِطَ الَّذِي أَمْضِي مِنْهُ إِلَى الشُّبَّاكِ
(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the Sheykh Al Tusi – Al Fahham said,
‘It is narrated to me by Abu Al-Tayyib Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Buttah, and he would not enter the Mausoleum, and he would perform Ziyarat from behind the window. He said to me, ‘I had come on the day of Ashura at midday, and the sun was boiling, and the road was devoid of anyone, and I was alarmed from the preachers and from the harsh people of the city, until I reached the wall which I would continue from to the window.
فَمَدَدْتُ عَيْنِي وَ إِذَا بِرَجُلٍ جَالِسٍ عَلَى الْبَابِ ظَهْرُهُ إِلَيَّ كَأَنَّهُ يَنْظُرُ فِي دَفْتَرٍ فَقَالَ لِي إِلَى أَيْنَ يَا أَبَا الطَّيِّبِ بِصَوْتٍ يُشْبِهُ صَوْتَ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الرِّضَا
I extended my eyes and there was a man seated at the door with his back to me. It was as if he was looking into a notebook. He said to me, ‘To where, O Abu Al Taiyib?’, in a voice resembling the voice of Husayn Bin Ali son of Abu Ja’far-asws Bin Al-Reza-asws.
فَقُلْتُ هَذَا حُسَيْنٌ قَدْ جَاءَ يَزُورُ أَخَاهُ
He said, ‘This Husayn has come to visit his brother’.
قُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي أَمْضِي أَزُورُ مِنَ الشُّبَّاكِ وَ أَجِيئُكَ فَأَقْضِي حَقَّكَ
I said, ‘O my chief! I shall continue to perform Ziyarat from the window and will come to you and fulfil your right’.
قَالَ وَ لِمَ لَا تَدْخُلُ يَا أَبَا الطَّيِّبِ
He said, ‘And why do you not enter, O Abu Al-Tayyib?’
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ الدَّارُ لَهَا مَالِكٌ لَا أَدْخُلُهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ
I said to him, ‘The house has an owner for it. I will not enter from without his-asws permission!’
فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا الطَّيِّبِ تَكُونُ مَوْلَانَا رِقّاً وَ تُوَالِينَا حَقّاً وَ نَمْنَعُكَ تَدْخُلُ الدَّارَ ادْخُلْ يَا أَبَا الطَّيِّبِ
He said, ‘O Abu Al-Tayyib! You happen to be our-asws real slave, and befriend us truly, and would we-asws prevent you from entering the house? Enter, O Abu Tayyib!’
فَقُلْتُ أَمْضِي أُسَلِّمُ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَا أَقْبَلُ مِنْهُ فَجِئْتُ إِلَى الْبَابِ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ فَتَعَسَّرَ بِي فَبَادَرْتُ إِلَى عِنْدِ الْبَصْرِيِّ خَادِمِ الْمَوْضِعِ فَفَتَحَ لِيَ الْبَابَ فَدَخَلْتُ فَكُنَّا نَقُولُ أَ لَيْسَ كُنْتَ لَا تَدْخُلُ الدَّارَ
I said, ‘I shall go and greet unto him-asws’, and did not accept from him. I came to the door and there wasn’t anyone at it. It was difficult for me (to open it), so I rushed to Al Basry, servant of the place. He opened the door for me, so I entered. We used to say to him, ‘Weren’t you not entering the house?’
فَقَالَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَذِنُوا لِي وَ بَقِيتُمْ أَنْتُمْ.
He said, ‘As for me, there is permission for me, and you all remain’’.[119]
5- مل، كامل الزيارات رُوِيَ عَنْ بَعْضِهِمْ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِذَا أَرَدْتَ زِيَارَةَ قَبْرِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع تَقُولُ بَعْدَ الْغُسْلِ إِنْ وَصَلْتَ إِلَى قَبْرَيْهِمَا وَ إِلَّا أَوْمَأْتَ بِالسَّلَامِ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْبَابِ الَّذِي عَلَى الشَّارِعِ الشُّبَّاكِ تَقُولُ
(The book) ‘Kamil Al Ziyaraat’ –
It is reported from one of them-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws, he-asws said: ‘When you intend to visit the grave of Abu Al-Hassan Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-saww and Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws, you should say after the bathing, if you arrive to their-asws graves, or else gesture with the greeting from being by the door which is at the street window saying,
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمَا يَا وَلِيَّيِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمَا يَا حُجَّتَيِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمَا يَا نُورَيِ اللَّهِ فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْأَرْضِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمَا يَا مَنْ بَدَا لِلَّهِ فِي شَأْنِكُمَا
‘The greeting be upon you-asws both, O guardians of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O Divine Authorities of Allah-azwj! The greeting be upon you-asws O lights of Allah-azwj in darkness of the earth! The greeting be upon you-asws O one Allah-azwj is Manifested in your-asws glory!
أَتَيْتُكُمَا زَائِراً عَارِفاً بِحَقِّكُمَا مُعَادِياً لِأَعْدَائِكُمَا مُوَالِياً لِأَوْلِيَائِكُمَا مُؤْمِناً بِمَا آمَنْتُمَا بِهِ كَافِراً بِمَا كَفَرْتُمَا بِهِ مُحَقِّقاً لِمَا حَقَّقْتُمَا مُبْطِلًا لِمَا أَبْطَلْتُمَا
I have come to you-asws as a visitor recognising your-asws right, an enemy to your-asws enemies, a friend to your-asws friends, a believer of what you-asws believed in, a disbeliever of what you-asws had disbelieved in, verifying what you-asws had verified and falsifying what you-asws had falsified!
أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَ رَبَّكُمَا أَنْ يَجْعَلَ حَظِّي مِنْ زِيَارَتِكُمَا الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي مُرَافَقَتَكُمَا فِي الْجِنَانِ مَعَ آبَائِكُمَا الصَّالِحِينَ وَ أَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يُعْتِقَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ يَرْزُقَنِي شَفَاعَتَكُمَا وَ مُصَاحَبَتَكُمَا وَ يُعَرِّفَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكُمَا وَ لَا يَسْلُبَنِي حُبَّكُمَا وَ حُبَّ آبَائِكُمَا الصَّالِحِينَ وَ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَتِكُمَا وَ يَحْشُرَنِي مَعَكُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ بِرَحْمَتِهِ
I ask Allah-azwj my Lord-azwj and your-asws Lord-azwj to Make my share of visiting you-asws, the Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and to Grace me their-asws friendship in the Gardens along with your-asws righteous fathers-asws, and I ask Him-azwj to Liberate my neck from the Hellfire and Grace me your-asws intercession, and your-asws companionship, and Introduce between me and you-asws, and do not Strip me of your-asws love and love of your-asws righteous fathers-asws, and not to Make it last of the pacts of visiting you-asws, and Gather me with you-asws in the Paradise by His-azwj Mercy!
اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي حُبَّهُمَا وَ تَوَفَّنِي عَلَى مِلَّتِهِمَا اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ ظَالِمِي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ حَقَّهُمْ وَ انْتَقِمْ مِنْهُمْ
O Allah-azwj! Grace me their-asws love and Cause me to die upon their-asws religion! O Allah-azwj! Curse the oppressors of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww of their-asws rights, and Take revenge from them!
اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنِ الْأَوَّلِينَ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ ضَاعِفْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعَذَابَ وَ أَبْلِغْ بِهِمْ وَ بِأَشْيَاعِهِمْ وَ مُحِبِّيهِمْ وَ مُتَّبِعِيهِمْ أَسْفَلَ دَرْكٍ مِنَ الْجَحِيمِ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
O Allah-azwj! Curse the former ones from them and the latter ones, and Multiply the Punishment upon them, and Cause them and their adherents, and their loving ones, and their followers to reach lowest level of the Blazing Fire, You-azwj are Able upon all things!
اللَّهُمَّ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَ وَلِيِّكَ وَ ابْنِ وَلِيِّكَ وَ اجْعَلْ فَرَجَنَا مَعَ فَرَجِهِمْ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Hasten the relief of Your-azwj guardian, and son-asws of Your-azwj guardian, and Make our relief to be with their-asws relief, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
وَ تَجْتَهِدُ فِي الدُّعَاءِ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ لِوَالِدَيْكَ وَ تَخَيَّرْ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ فَإِنْ وَصَلْتَ إِلَيْهِمَا صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا فَصَلِّ عِنْدَ قَبْرَيْهِمَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَ صَلَّيْتَ دَعَوْتَ اللَّهَ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ إِنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ وَ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدُ إِلَى جَانِبِ الدَّارِ وَ فِيهِ كان [كَانَا] يُصَلِّيَانِ ع.
And strive in the supplicating for yourself and for your parents, and Choose from the supplication. If you arrive to them-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws, pray two units Salat by their-asws graves, and when you enter the Masjid and have prayed, supplicate to Allah-azwj with whatever you like. He-azwj is Near, Responding, and this is the Masjid to a side of the house, and in it they-asws both used to pray Salat’’.[120]
6 بيان ذكر الصدوق رحمه الله هذه الزيارة بعينها في الفقيه إلا أنه أسقط قوله السلام عليكما يا من بدا لله في شأنكما
Explanation – Al-Sadouq, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, mentioned this Ziyarat exactly in (the book) ‘Al Faqeeh’, except that his-asws words: ‘The greeting be upon you-asws! O the One Allah-azwj Manifests in your-asws glory’, are dropped.
ثم قال و تجتهد في الدعاء لنفسك و لوالديك و صل عندهما لكل زيارة ركعتين ركعتين و إن لم تصل إليهما دخلت بعض المساجد و صليت لكل إمام لزيارته ركعتين و ادع الله بما أحببت إن الله قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ.
Then he said, ‘And make efforts in the supplication for yourself and your parents, and pray Salat in both their-asws presences, two units for each Ziyarat, and if you cannot arrive to them-asws, enter one of the Masjid and pray two units Salat for each Imam-asws and supplicate to Allah-azwj with what you like. Surely, Allah-azwj is Near, Responding’’.[121]
7 و قال الشيخ المفيد قدس الله روحه على ما ينسب إليه من كتاب المزار إذا وردت مشهدهما صلى الله عليهما فاغتسل للزيارة ثم امض حتى تقف على باب القبة و استأذن و ادخل مقدما رجلك اليمنى
And the Sheykh Al-Mufeed, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul, said in what is attributed to him from the book Al Mazaar, ‘When you arrive at their-asws Mausoleums, bathe for the visitation, then proceed until you stand at the door of the dome. Seek permission to enter, then enter with your right foot first.
و قف على قبريهما و قل ثم ذكر الزيارة بعينها إلا أنه بدل قوله يا من بدا لله في شأنكما بقوله يا أميني الله ثم ذكر الوداع كما سننقله من التهذيب ثم قال ثم اخرج و وجهك إلى القبرين على أعقابك.
Stand at their-asws graves and say (the Ziyarat) which he mentioned exactly, except that instead of saying ‘O you Allah-azwj is Manifested in his-asws glory’, he said ‘O two trusted ones of Allah-azwj’. Then he mentioned the farewell as we will quote from Al Tahzeeb. Then he said, ‘Then leave while your face remains turned toward the two graves, walking backward’’.[122]
8- و قال الشيخ نور الله مرقده في التهذيب، قال الشيخ رحمه الله إذا أتيت سرمنرأى فاغتسل قبل أن تأتي المشهد على ساكنه السلام فإذا أتيته فقف بظاهر الشباك و اجعل وجهك تلقاء القبلة و قل هذا الذي ذكره من المنع من دخول الدار هو الأحوط و الأولى لأن الدار قد ثبت أنها ملك للغير و لا يجوز لنا أن نتصرف فيها بالدخول فيها و لا غيره إلا بإذن صاحبها و لم ينقطع العذر لنا بإذنهم ع في ذلك فينبغي التوقف في ذلك و الامتناع منه
And the Sheykh, may Allah-azwj Irradiate his shrine, said in ‘Al-Tahzeeb’, ‘The Sheykh, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said, ‘When you come to Surmanray, bathe before you come to the Mausoleum, may the greeting be upon its dweller. When you come to him-asws, pause outside the window, facing the Qiblah, and say what he mentioned about the prohibition of entering the house is more precautionary and preferable, because it has been established that the house is owned by someone else, and it is not permissible for us to use it by entering or otherwise without the owner’s permission, and we have not received a definitive excuse from them-asws, giving us permission in this matter, so it is proper to be cautious and refrain from entering.
و لو أن أحدا يدخلها لم يكن مأثوما خاصة إذا تأول في ذلك ما روي عنهم ع من أنهم جعلوا شيعتهم في حل من مالهم و ذلك على عمومه
However, if someone were to enter, they would not be sinful, especially if they interpret what has been narrated from them-asws, that they have made their Shias free to use their-asws wealth, and that is based upon its general meaning.
و قد روي في ذلك أكثر من أن يحصى و قد أوردنا طرفا منه فيما تقدم في باب الأخماس في هذا الكتاب إلا أن الأحوط ما قدمناه و ذكر محمد بن الحسن بن الوليد هذه الزيارة قال إذا أردت زيارة قبريهما تغتسل و تتنظف و البس ثوبيك الطاهرين فإن وصلت إليهما و إلا أومأت من الباب الذي على الشارع و تقول أقول ثم ذكر الزيارة بعينها
And it has been narrated in many reports too numerous to count. We have presented part of this earlier in the chapter on Khums in this book. Nonetheless, the more precautionary approach is what we have stated. Muhammad Ibn Al-Hassan Bin Al-Waleed mentioned this visitation and said, ‘If you wish to visit their graves, bathe, purify yourself, and wear your two clean garments. If you reach them, then do so, otherwise, gesture toward them from the door that opens to the street and say: ‘I say’ – then he mentioned the exact Ziyarat.
ثم قال و تجتهد أن تصلي عند قبريهما ركعتين و إلا دخلت بعض المساجد و صليت و دعوت بما أحببت أن الله قريب مجيب
Then he said: ‘Strive to pray two units Salat at their-asws graves. If that is not possible, then enter one of the nearby mosques, pray, and supplicate with whatever you wish, for Allah-azwj is Near and Responsive.
ثم قال في وداعيهما ع تقف كوقوفك في أول دخولك و تقول السلام عليكما يا وليي الله أستودعكما الله و أقرأ عليكما السلام آمنا بالله و بالرسول و بما جئتما به و دللتما عليه اللهم اكتبنا مع الشاهدين
Then he said regarding their-asws farewell, ‘Stand as you did upon entering and say: ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O guardians of Allah-azwj! I entrust you-asws to Allah-azwj and convey the greeting upon you-asws, believing in Allah-azwj and the Rasool-saww and whatever he-saww had come with and pointed to! O Allah-azwj, Write us with the testifiers!’
ثم اسأل الله العود إليهما و ادع بما أحببت إن شاء الله.
Then ask Allah-azwj for the returning to them-asws and supplicate with whatever you like, if Allah-azwj so Desires’.
أقول أما البداء في أبي محمد الحسن ع فقد مضى في باب النص عليه أخبار كثيرة بأن البداء قد وقع فيه و في أخيه الذي كان أكبر منه و مات قبله كما كان في موسى و إسماعيل
I say, ‘As for the concept of Bad’a (Change of Decision) regarding Abu Muhammad Al Hasan-asws, it has already been discussed in the chapter on the designation of the Imams-asws. There are numerous reports indicating that Bad’a occurred in his-asws case and in the case of his-asws older brother who died before him-asws, just as it occurred in the case of Musa-asws and Ismail.
و أما في أبيه ع فلم نر فيه شيئا يدل على البداء فلعله وقع فيه أيضا شيء من هذا القبيل أو من القيام بالسيف أو غيرهما أو نسب هذا البداء إلى الأب أيضا لأن التنصيص على الإمامة يتعلق به
As for his father-asws, we have not found anything indicating Bad’a in his-asws case, though perhaps something of that sort did happen as well, either related to armed uprising or something else. Or perhaps Bad’a was attributed to the father-asws also, because the designation of the Imam-asws is connected to him-asws.
و أما الدخول في الدار للزيارة فالأظهر جوازه لما ذكره الشيخ رحمه الله و للتعليل الذي سبق في خبر أبي الطيب الدال على عموم الحكم و لرواية ابن قولويه هذه و لما سيأتي في الزيارات الجامعة من الوقوف عند القبر و اللصوق به و الانكباب عليه و لعمل قدماء الأصحاب و أرباب النصوص منهم و تجويزهم ذلك و الله يعلم.
As for entering the house for visitation, the more apparent view is that it is permissible, based on what Sheikh, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, mentioned, and the reasoning given earlier in the narration of Abu Al Tayyib, which indicates a general ruling, and the narration of Ibn Qawlawayh supports this, along with what will be mentioned in the general Ziyaraat texts regarding standing by the grave, touching it, and leaning over it, as well as the practice of the early scholars and narrators who permitted this. And Allah-azwj Knows’’.[123]
وَ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ نَوَّرَ اللَّهُ مَرْقَدَهُ إِذَا وَصَلْتَ إِلَى مَحَلَّةِ الشَّرِيفِ بِسُرَّمَنْرَأَى فَاغْتَسِلْ عِنْدَ وُصُولِكَ غُسْلَ الزِّيَارَةِ وَ الْبَسْ أَطْهَرَ ثِيَابِكَ وَ امْشِ عَلَى سَكِينَةٍ وَ وَقَارٍ إِلَى أَنْ تَصِلَ الْبَابَ الشَّرِيفَ
And the Seyyid Ibn Tawous, may Allah-azwj Irradiate his grave, said, ‘When you have prayed at the noble place at Surmanray, bathe at your arrival, the bathing of the Ziyarat and wear cleanest of your clothes, and walk being upon calmness and dignity until you arrive at the noble door.
فَإِذَا بَلَغْتَهُ فَاسْتَأْذِنْ وَ قُلْ أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا فَاطِمَةُ الزَّهْرَاءُ سَيِّدَةَ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا مَوْلَايَ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا مَوْلَايَ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا مَوْلَايَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا مَوْلَايَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا مَوْلَايَ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ
When you reach it, seek permission and say, ‘Can I enter, O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj? Can I enter, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws? Can I enter O (Syeda) Fatima Al-Zahra-asws, chieftess of women of the worlds? Can I enter, O my master Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws? Can I enter O my Master Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws? Can I enter O my master Ali-asws Bin Al Husayn-asws? Can I enter O my master Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws? Can I enter O my mater Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws?
أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا مَوْلَايَ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا مَوْلَايَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُوسَى أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا مَوْلَايَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ أَ أَدْخُلُ يَا مَلَائِكَةَ اللَّهِ الْمُوَكَّلِينَ بِهَذَا الْحَرَمِ الشَّرِيفِ
Can I enter O my mater Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws? Can I enter O my master Ali-asws Bin Musa-asws? Can I enter O my master Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws? Can I enter O my master O Abu Al-Hassan-asws Ali Bin Muhammad-asws! Can I enter O my master O Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws? Can I enter O Angels of Allah-azwj Allocated with this noble sanctuary?’
ثُمَّ تَدْخُلُ مُقَدِّماً رِجْلَكَ الْيُمْنَى وَ تَقِفُ عَلَى ضَرِيحِ الْإِمَامِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْهَادِي ع مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقَبْرِ وَ مُسْتَدْبِرَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَ تُكَبِّرُ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ تَكْبِيرَةٍ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّكِيَّ الرَّاشِدَ النُّورَ الثَّاقِبَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
Then enter, forwarding your right leg and pause at the shrine of the Imam Abu Al-Hassan Al-Hadi-asws facing the grave and the back towards the Qiblah, and exclaim the Greatness of Allah-azwj a hundred Takbeers and say, ‘The greeting be upon you-asws O Abu Al-Hassan Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, the pure, the guide, the shining light, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!

و قد تقدم في ذكر زيارة فاطمة بنت أسد رضوان الله عليها أكثر هذه الألفاظ و إنما نقلنا ما وجدناه و الله الموفق لما يرضاه.
And it has preceded regarding the mention of Ziyarat of (Syeda) Fatima Bint Asad-as, may the Pleasure of Allah-azwj be upon her-as, most of these wordings, and rather we have transmitted what we found, and Allah-azwj is the Harmoniser to what Pleases Him-azwj!
أقول ذكر المفيد و الشهيد و غيرهما في كتبهم زيارة أم القائم ع هكذا و قال مؤلف المزار الكبير أملاها على رجل من البحرين سمعته يزور بها ثم ذكر هذه الزيارة بعينها.
I am saying it has been mentioned by Al-Mufeed, and Al-Shaheed and others in their books, Ziyarat of mother-as of Al-Qaim-ajfj like this, and compiler of ‘Al-Mazar Al-Kabeer’ said he had dictated it to a man from Al-Bahrain hearing him having performed Ziyarat with it, then he mentioned this Ziyarat exactly.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْ جَائِزَتِي فِي مَوْقِفِي هَذَا غُفْرَانَكَ وَ تُحْفَتَكَ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا عِنْدَ أَئِمَّتِي وَ مَوَالِيَّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ تُقِيلَ عَثْرَتِي وَ تَقْبَلَ مَعْذِرَتِي وَ تَتَجَاوَزَ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِي وَ تَجْعَلَ التَّقْوَى زَادِي وَ مَا عِنْدَكَ خَيْراً لِي فِي مَعَادِي
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Make my Reward in this pausing of mine to be Your-azwj Forgiveness, and Your-azwj Gift in this standing of mine in the presence of my Imams-asws and my master, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj upon them-asws, uprooting of my stumbles and Accept my apology, and Overlook from my misdeeds, and Make the piety to be my provision and goodness for me in my Hereafter!
وَ تَحْشُرَنِي فِي زُمْرَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَ لِوَالِدَيَ فَإِنَّكَ خَيْرُ مَرْغُوبٍ إِلَيْهِ وَ أَكْرَمُ مَسْئُولٍ اعْتُمِدَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لِكُلِّ وَافِدٍ كَرَامَةٌ وَ لِكُلِّ زَائِرٍ جَائِزَةٌ فَاجْعَلْ جَائِزَتِي فِي مَوْقِفِي هَذَا غُفْرَانَكَ وَ الْجَنَّةَ لِي وَ لِجَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
And Gather me in the group of Muhammad-saww, and Forgive for me and for my parents, for You-azwj are Best of the ones desired to, and most Honourable of the ones requested relied upon, and for every delegate there is honour, and for every visitor there is a reward, so Make my Reward in this pausing of mine to be Your-azwj Forgiveness and the Paradise for me, and for entirety of the believing men and the believing women!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ الْخَاطِئُ الْمُذْنِبُ الْمُقِرُّ بِذَنْبِهِ فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا كَرِيمُ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ لَا تَحْرِمْنِي الْأَجْرَ وَ الثَّوَابَ مِنْ فَضْلِ عَطَائِكَ وَ كَرِيمِ تَفَضُّلِكَ
O Allah-azwj, and I am Your-azwj servant, the wrongdoer, the sinner, the confessor of his sins! I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, O Benevolent! By the right of Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, do not Deprive me of the Recompense and the Rewards from the Grace of Your-azwj award, and benevolence of Your-azwj Grace!
يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ أَتَيْتُكُمَا زَائِراً لَكُمَا أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِلَى رَسُولِهِ وَ إِلَيْكُمَا وَ إِلَى أَبِيكُمَا وَ إِلَى أُمِّكُمَا
O my master, O Abu Al-Hassan Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, and O my master, O Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws! I have come to you-asws both as a visitor to you-asws! I draw closer to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and to His-azwj Rasool-saww, and to you-asws, and to your-asws fathers-asws and your-asws mothers-as!
بِذَلِكَ أَرْجُو بِزِيَارَتِكُمَا فَكَاكَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ فَاشْفَعَا لِي عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمَا فِي إِجَابَةِ دُعَائِي وَ غُفْرَانِ ذُنُوبِي وَ ذُنُوبِ وَالِدَيَّ وَ إِخْوَانِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَخَوَاتِيَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
By that, I hope with visiting You-azwj, liberation of my neck from the Fire, so intercede for me in the Presence of your-asws Lord-azwj in Answering my supplication, and Forgiveness of my sins and sins of my parents, and my believing brothers and my believing sisters!
يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحْمَانُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اسْتَجِبْ دُعَائِي فِيمَا سَأَلْتُكَ وَ صِلْ بِذَلِكَ مَنْ بِمَشَارِقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبِهَا
O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Beneficent! O Beneficent! O Beneficent! O Beneficent! O Beneficent! There is no god except You-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Answer my supplication regarding what I am requesting You-azwj, and Connect with that the ones in easts of the earth and its wests!
يَا اللَّهُ يَا كَرِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ رَبِّ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُنَّ وَ مَا تَحْتَهُنَّ وَ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ سَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ وَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً كَثِيراً
O Allah-azwj! O benevolent! There is no god except You-azwj, the Forbearing, the Benevolence! There is no god except You-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent! Glory be to Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the seven skies and Lord-azwj of the seven earths, and what is within these, and what is between these, and what is beneath these, and Lord-azwj of the Magnificent Throne, and Greeting be upon the Messengers, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds, and the Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww the Prophet-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws the pure, and Greet abundant greetings!’
ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي عِنْدَ الضَّرِيحِ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ صَلَاةَ الزِّيَارَةِ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ رَفَعْتَ يَدَيْكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ دَعَوْتَ بِمَا قَدَّمْنَا ذِكْرَهُ عَقِيبَ زِيَارَةِ الْجَوَادِ ع وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ وَ أَنَا الْمَرْبُوبُ بِتَمَامِهِ وَ وَدَاعُ هَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةِ قَدْ تَقَدَّمَ فِي الزِّيَارَةِ السَّابِقَةِ.
Then pray four units Salat by the Shrine, Salat of the Ziyarat. When you are free, raise your hands to the sky and supplicate with what we have forwarded its mention as a follow-up of Ziyarat of Al Jawad-asws, and it is its words: ‘O Allah-azwj, You-azwj are the Nourisher and I am the nourished’ – in its complete form, and farewell of this Ziyarat has preceded in the previous Ziyarat’’.[128]
10- أَقُولُ وَجَدْتُ فِي بَعْضِ مُؤَلَّفَاتِ أَصْحَابِنَا الدُّعَاءَ الَّذِي أَحَالَهُ عَلَى مَا سَبَقَ بِوَجْهٍ يُخَالِفُهُ فَأَحْبَبْتُ إِيرَادَهُ وَ هُوَ هَذَا اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ وَ أَنَا الْمَرْبُوبُ وَ أَنْتَ الْخَالِقُ وَ أَنَا الْمَخْلُوقُ وَ أَنْتَ الْمَالِكُ وَ أَنَا الْمَمْلُوكُ وَ أَنْتَ الْمُعْطِي وَ أَنَا السَّائِلُ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّازِقُ وَ أَنَا الْمَرْزُوقُ وَ أَنْتَ الْقَادِرُ وَ أَنَا الْعَاجِزُ
I am saying I found in one of the compilations of our companions the supplication which he had referred to earlier yet differed from it, so I loved to refer it, and it is this, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are the Nourisher and I am the nourished, and You-azwj are the Creator and I am the created, and Your-azwj are the Owner and I am the owned, and You-azwj are the Giver and I am the requester, and You-azwj are the Provider and I am the provided, and You-azwj are the Able and I am the unable!
وَ أَنْتَ الْقَوِيُ وَ أَنَا الضَّعِيفُ وَ أَنْتَ الْمُغِيثُ وَ أَنَا الْمُسْتَغِيثُ وَ أَنْتَ الدَّائِمُ وَ أَنَا الزَّائِلُ وَ أَنْتَ الْكَبِيرُ وَ أَنَا الْحَقِيرُ وَ أَنْتَ الْعَظِيمُ وَ أَنَا الصَّغِيرُ وَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ وَ أَنَا الذَّلِيلُ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّفِيعُ وَ أَنَا الْوَضِيعُ وَ أَنْتَ الْمُدَبِّرُ وَ أَنَا الْمُدَبَّرُ وَ أَنْتَ الْبَاقِي وَ أَنَا الْفَانِي
And You-azwj are the Strong and I am the weak, and You-azwj are the Helper and I am the seeker of help, and You-azwj are the Permanent and I am the temporary, and You-azwj are the Great and I am the insignificant, and You-azwj are the Mighty and I am the small, and You-azwj are the Honourable and I am the disgraced, and You-azwj are the Lofty and I am the lowly, and You-azwj are the Manager and I am the managed, and You-azwj are the Ever-lasting and I am the perishing!
وَ أَنْتَ الدَّيَّانُ وَ أَنَا الْمُدَانُ وَ أَنْتَ الْبَاعِثُ وَ أَنَا الْمَبْعُوثُ وَ أَنْتَ الْغَنِيُّ وَ أَنَا الْفَقِيرُ وَ أَنْتَ الْحَيُّ وَ أَنَا الْمَيِّتُ تَجِدُ مَنْ تُعَذِّبُ يَا رَبِّ غَيْرِي وَ لَا أَجِدُ مَنْ يَرْحَمُنِي غَيْرَكَ
And You-azwj are the Judge and I am the judged, and You-azwj are the Resurrector and I am the resurrected, and You-azwj are the Rich and I am the poor, and You-azwj are the Living and I am the dead! You-azwj can Find someone other than me to Punish, O Lord-azwj, and I cannot find anyone apart from You-azwj to mercy me!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحُرْمَةِ مَنْ عَاذَ بِذِمَّتِكَ وَ لَجَأَ إِلَى عِزِّكَ وَ اسْتَظَلَّ بِفَيْئِكَ وَ اعْتَصَمَ بِحَبْلِكَ وَ لَمْ يَثِقْ إِلَّا بِكَ يَا جَزِيلَ الْعَطَايَا يَا فَكَّاكَ الْأُسَارَى يَا مَنْ سَمَّى نَفْسَهُ مِنْ جُودِهِ الْوَهَّابَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the sanctity of the one who sought refuge in Your-azwj Protection, turned to Your-azwj Might, sought shelter under Your-azwj Shade, held fast to Your-azwj rope, and placed his trust in none but You-azwj! O Abundant Giver, O Liberator of captives, O You who Named Himself-azwj due to His-azwj Generosity as ‘The Bestower’.
أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِي مِنْ هَذَا الْمَقَامِ خَائِباً فَإِنَّ هَذَا مَقَامٌ تُغْفَرُ فِيهِ الذُّنُوبُ الْعِظَامُ وَ تُرْجَى فِيهِ الرَّحْمَةُ مِنَ الْكَرِيمِ الْعَلَّامِ مَقَامٌ لَا يُخَيَّبُ فِيهِ السَّائِلُونَ وَ لَا يُرَدُّ فِيهِ الرَّاغِبُونَ مَقَامُ مَنْ لَاذَ بِمَوْلَاهُ رَغْبَةً وَ تَبَتَّلَ إِلَيْهِ رَهْبَةً
I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and not to Return me from this place disappointed, for this is a place where the mighty sins are Forgiven in it and the Mercy is hoped for in it from the Benevolent, the All-Knowing, a place the requesters are not disappointed in nor are the desiring ones returned in, a place of the one seeking shelter with his Master desirously turning to Him-azwj in awe!
مَقَامُ الْخَائِفِ مِنْ يَوْمٍ يَقُومُ فِيهِ النَّاسُ لِرَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ وَ لَا تَنْفَعُ فِيهِ شَفاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمنُ وَ كَانَ مِنَ الْفَائِزِينَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ لا يَنْفَعُ فِيهِ مالٌ وَ لا بَنُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ وَ أُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ وَ قِيلَ لَهُمْ هذا ما كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ لِكُلِّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍ مَنْ خَشِيَ الرَّحْمنَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَ جاءَ بِقَلْبٍ مُنِيبٍ
(This is) a place of the one fearful from a Day the people will be standing during it to Lord-azwj of the worlds, and intercession of the intercessors will not benefit in it except the one the Beneficent permits for, and he would be from the successful ones. That is a Day neither will wealth benefit in it nor sons except the one whom comes to Allah-azwj with a sound heart, and the Paradise will be decorated for the pious, and it will be said to them: ‘This is what you had been Promised, for every penitent preserver, one who feared the Beneficent in the unseen and has come with a penitent heart!
اللَّهُمَّ فَاجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُخْلَصِينَ الْفَائِزِينَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيمِ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ لِوالِدَيَّ وَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ وَ أَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ وَ اخْلُفْ عَلَى أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي فِي الْغَابِرِينَ وَ اجْمَعْ بَيْنَنَا جَمِيعاً فِي مُسْتَقَرٍّ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Make me from the sincere ones, the successful, and Make me from the inheritors of the Gardens of bliss, and Forgive for me and for my parents and for the believing men on the Day of Religion (Reckoning) and Join me with the righteous ones, and Replace upon my wife and children among the remaining, and Gather between us and entirety of the ones in settlement of Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
وَ سَلِّمْنِي مِنْ أَهْوَالِ مَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ لِقَائِكَ حَتَّى تُبْلِغَنِي الدَّرَجَةَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مُرَافَقَةُ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ أَحِبَّائِكَ الَّذِينَ عَلَيْهِمْ دَلَلْتَ وَ بِالاقْتِدَاءِ بِهِمْ أَمَرْتَ وَ اسْقِنِي مِنْ حَوْضِهِمْ مَشْرَباً رَوِيّاً لَا ظَمَأَ بَعْدَهُ أَبَداً
And Keep me safe from horrors of what is between me and meeting You-azwj until You-azwj Make me reach the rank in which is friendship of Your-azwj guardians and Your-azwj loved ones, those You-azwj had Pointed to and Commanded with believing in them-asws, and Quench me from their-asws fountain a saturating drink I will not be thirsty after it, ever!
وَ احْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَتِهِمْ وَ تَوَفَّنِي عَلَى مِلَّتِهِمْ وَ اجْعَلْنِي فِي حِزْبِهِمْ وَ عَرِّفْنِي وُجُوهَهُمْ فِي رِضْوَانِكَ وَ الْجَنَّةِ فَإِنِّي رَضِيتُ بِهِمْ أَئِمَّةً وَ هُدَاةً وَ وُلَاةً فَاجْعَلْهُمْ أَئِمَّتِي وَ هُدَاتِي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ لَا تُفَرِّقْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُمْ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ أَبَداً- يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
And Gather me in their-asws group and Cause me to die upon their-asws religion, and Make me to be in their-asws party, and Introduce me to their-asws faces in Your-azwj Pleasure and the Paradise, for I am pleased with them-asws as Imams-asws, and guides, and guardians, so Make them-asws my Imams-asws and my guides in the world and the Hereafter, and do not Separate between me and them-asws for the blink of an eye, ever, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ارْحَمْ ذُلِّي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ تَضَرُّعِي إِلَيْكَ وَ وَحْشَتِي مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ أُنْسِي بِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Mercy my humility in front of You-azwj and my beseeching to You-azwj, and my loneliness from the people and my being comforted with You-azwj!
يَا كَرِيمُ تَصَدَّقْ عَلَيَّ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ تَهْدِي بِهَا قَلْبِي وَ تَجْمَعُ بِهَا أَمْرِي وَ تَلُمُّ بِهَا شَعَثِي وَ تُبَيِّضُ بِهَا وَجْهِي وَ تُكْرِمُ بِهَا مَقَامِي وَ تَحُطُّ بِهَا عَنِّي وِزْرِي وَ تَغْفِرُ بِهَا مَا مَضَى مِنْ ذُنُوبِي وَ تَعْصِمُنِي بِهَا فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِي وَ تُوَسِّعُ لِي بِهَا فِي رِزْقِي وَ تَمُدُّ بِهَا فِي أَجَلِي وَ تَسْتَعْمِلُنِي فِي ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ مَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي
O Benevolent! Donate upon me in this time with Mercy from You-azwj Guiding my heart with it, and Gather my affairs by it, and Smoothen my crookedness with it, and Brighten my face by it, and Honour my position by it, and by it Offload my burden from me of whatever has passed from my sins, and by it Protect me in what remains from my lifespan, and by it Expand for me in my sustenance, and by it Extend in my term and Utilise me in all of that in Your-azwj obedience and what Pleased You-azwj with me!
وَ تَخْتِمُ لِي عَمَلِي بِأَحْسَنِهِ وَ تَجْعَلُ لِي ثَوَابَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ تَسْلُكُ بِي سَبِيلَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ تُعِينُنِي عَلَى صَالِحِ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي كَمَا أَعَنْتَ الصَّالِحِينَ عَلَى صَالِحِ مَا أَعْطَيْتَهُمْ وَ لَا تَنْزِعْ مِنِّي صَالِحَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنِيهِ أَبَداً وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِي فِي سُوءٍ اسْتَنْقَذْتَنِي مِنْهُ أَبَداً وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ أَبَداً وَ لَا أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ لَا أَكْثَرَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
And Conclude my deeds for me with its best, and make its Reward for me to be the Paradise, and Make me travel in the way of the righteous, and Assist me upon the righteous of what You-azwj have Granted me just as You-azwj had Assisted the righteous upon righteousness of what You-azwj had Granted them, and do not Snatch from me righteous of what You-azwj have Granted me, ever, and do not Let me return in any evil You-azwj have Rescued me from, ever, and do not Allocate me to myself for the blink of an eye ever, nor less than that nor more, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَرِنِي الْحَقَّ حَقّاً فَأَتْبَعَهُ وَ الْبَاطِلَ بَاطِلًا فَأَجْتَنِبَهُ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ عَلَيَّ مُتَشَابِهاً فَأَتَّبِعَ هَوَايَ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِنْكَ وَ اجْعَلْ هَوَايَ مُتَّبِعاً لِرِضَاكَ وَ طَاعَتِكَ وَ خُذْ رِضَا نَفْسِكَ مِنْ نَفْسِي وَ اهْدِنِي لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِكَ إِنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ.
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Show me the truth as true so I would follow it, and the falsehood as false so I would avoid it, and do not Make it suspect upon me so I would follow my whims without any guidance from You-azwj, and Make my whims to follow Your-azwj Pleasure and Your-azwj obedience, and Take Pleasure for Yourself-azwj from myself, and Guide me to what I am differing in from the truth by Your-azwj Permission! You-azwj Guide the one You-azwj so Desire to the Straight Path!’’[129]
11- ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى لَهُمَا ع عَلَى صِفَةِ مَا تَقَدَّمَ تَقِفُ عَلَيْهِمَا وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى غُسْلٍ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ
Then the Seyyid, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said, ‘There is another Ziyarat for them-asws upon the description of what has preceded. You should pause to them-asws while you are upon a bathing, and say, ‘The greeting be upon Rasool-Allah-saww! The greeting be upon Muhammad-saww Bin Abdullah-as! The greeting be upon Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws!
السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْأَئِمَّةِ الْمَعْصُومِينَ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ الْمَهْدِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أَمَرُوا بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ قَرَّبُوا أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ وَ اجْتَنَبُوا مَعْصِيَةَ اللَّهِ وَ جَاهَدُوا أَعْدَاءَهُ وَ دَحَضُوا حِزْبَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَ هُدُوا إِلَى الصِّرَاطِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ
The greeting be upon the infallible Imams-asws from his-asws sons-asws, the guided, those Allah-azwj has Commanded with following them-asws, and to draw closer to the guardians of Allah-azwj, and shun disobedience of Allah-azwj, and fight His-azwj enemies, and refute the party of the pelted Satan-la, and guide to the Straight Path!
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمَا أَيُّهَا الْإِمَامَانِ الطَّاهِرَانِ الصِّدِّيقَانِ اللَّذَانِ اسْتَنْقَذَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ مُخَالَطَةِ الْفَاسِقِينَ وَ حَقَنَا دِمَاءَ الْمُحِبِّينَ بِمُدَارَاةِ الْمُبْغِضِينَ
The greeting be upon you-asws both, O the Imams-asws, the pure, the truthful, those who saved the Momineen from interference by the corrupters, and saved the blood of the loving ones by being polite with the haters!
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمَا حُجَّتَا اللَّهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ وَ سِرَاجَا أَرْضِهِ وَ بِلَادِهِ وَ تَجَرَّعْتُمَا فِي رَبِّكُمَا غَيْظَ الظَّالِمِينَ- وَ صَبَرْتُمَا فِي مَرْضَاتِهِ عَلَى عِنَادِ الْمُعَانِدِينَ حَتَّى أَقَمْتُمَا مَنَارَ الدِّينِ وَ أَبَنْتُمَا الشَّكَّ مِنَ الْيَقِينِ فَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَانِعَكُمَا الْحَقَّ وَ الْبَاغِيَ عَلَيْكُمَا مِنَ الْخَلْقِ
I testify you-asws are both Divine Authorities of Allah-azwj upon His-azwj servants, and lamps in His-azwj earth and His-azwj lands, and you-asws had swallowed the rage for the sake of Your-azwj Lord-azwj, and were patient in His-azwj Pleasure upon obstinacy of the obstinate ones until you-asws established the minarets of religion and clarified the doubts from the certainty. May Allah-azwj Curse the preventers of your-asws right, and the rebels from the creatures, against you-asws!’
ثُمَّ ضَعْ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْمَنَ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هَذَيْنِ الْإِمَامَيْنِ قَائِدَايَ وَ بِهِمَا وَ بِآبَائِهِمَا أَرْجُو الزُّلْفَةَ لَدَيْكَ يَوْمَ قُدُومِي عَلَيْكَ
Then place your right cheek upon the grave and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! These two Imams-asws are my guides, and through them-asws and through their-asws forefathers-asws I hope for the nearness to You-azwj on the Day of my arrival to You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ وَ مَنْ حَضَرَ مِنْ مَلَائِكَتِكَ أَنَّهُمَا عَبْدَانِ لَكَ اصْطَفَيْتَهُمَا وَ فَضَّلْتَهُمَا وَ تَعَبَّدْتَ خَلْقَكَ بِمُوَالاتِهِمَا وَ أَذَقْتَهُمَا الْمَنِيَّةَ الَّتِي كَتَبْتَ عَلَيْهِمَا وَ مَا ذَاقَا فِيكَ أَعْظَمُ مِمَّا ذَاقَا مِنْكَ
O Allah-azwj! I keep You-azwj and the ones present from the Angels as witnesses, they-asws are both Your-azwj servants! You-azwj had Chosen them-asws, and Merited them-asws, and You-azwj Enslaved Your-azwj creatures by their-asws Wilayah and Made them-asws taste the death which You-azwj had Written upon them-asws, and what they-asws had tasted for Your-azwj sake is mightier than what they-asws had tasted from You-azwj!
وَ جَمَعْتَنِي وَ إِيَّاهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَى صِحَّةِ الِاعْتِقَادِ فِي طَاعَتِكَ فَاجْمَعْنِي وَ إِيَّاهُمَا فِي جَنَّتِكَ يَا مَنْ حَفِظَ الْكَنْزَ بِإِقَامَةِ الْجِدَارِ وَ حَرَسَ مُحَمَّداً ص بِالْغَارِ وَ نَجَّى إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع مِنَ النَّارِ
And Gather me and them-asws in the world upon the correct beliefs in obedience to You-azwj. Gather me and them-asws in Your-azwj Paradise, O One Who Protected the treasure by Straightening the wall, and Guarded Muhammad-saww in the cave, and Rescued Ibrahim-as from the fire!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّنِ اعْتَقَدَ فِيهِمَا اللَّاهُوتَ وَ قَدَّمَ عَلَيْهِمَا الطَّاغُوتَ
O Allah-azwj! I disavow to You-azwj from the ones believing in Divinity regarding them-asws, and gave preceded to the tyrants upon them-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنِ النَّاصِبَةَ الْجَاحِدِينَ وَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ الْغَالِينَ وَ الشَّاكِّينَ الْمُقَصِّرِينَ وَ الْمُفَوِّضِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Curse the Nasibis (hostile ones), the rejecters, and the extravagant exaggerators, and the doubting reducers, and the believers in delegated Authority!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَسْمَعُ كَلَامِي وَ تَرَى مَقَامِي وَ عِلْمُكَ مُحِيطٌ بِمَا خَلْفِي وَ أَمَامِي فَأَجِرْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ يُخْرِجُ دِينِي وَ اكْفِنِي كُلَّ شُبْهَةٍ تُشَكِّكُ يَقِينِي وَ أَشْرِكْ فِي دُعَائِي إِخْوَانِي وَ مَنْ أَمْرُهُ يَعْنِينِي
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj Hear my speech, and You-azwj See my position, and Your-azwj Knowledge Encompasses what is behind me and in front of me, so Shelter me from all evil throwing out my religion, and Suffice me of every doubtful matter casting doubt in my certainty, and Participate in my supplication my brothers and the ones whose matter concerns me!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هَذَا مَوْقِفٌ خُضْتُ إِلَيْهِ الْمَتَالِفَ وَ قَطَعْتُ دُونَهُ الْمَخَاوِفَ طَلَباً أَنْ تَسْتَجِيبَ فِيهِ دُعَائِي وَ أَنْ تُضَاعِفَ فِيهِ حَسَنَاتِي وَ أَنْ تَمْحُوَ فِيهِ سَيِّئَاتِي
O Allah-azwj! This is a pausing I have come through hardships and crossed fears to reach, seeking that You-azwj Answer my supplication in it, Multiply my good deeds in it, and Erase my bad deeds in it.
اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَعْطِنِي فِيهِ وَ إِخْوَانِي مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ شِيعَتِهِمْ وَ أَهْلَ حُزَانَتِي وَ أَوْلَادِي وَ قَرَابَاتِي مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ مُزْلِفٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ مُحْظٍ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنْ جَمْعِنَا كُلَّ شَرٍّ يُورِثُ فِي الدُّنْيَا عُدْماً وَ يَحْجُبُ غَيْثَ السَّمَاءِ وَ يُعْقِبُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ نَدَماً
O Allah-azwj, and Grant me in it, and my brethren from Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and their Shias, and people of sharing my grief, and my children, and my relatives from every goodness drawing me closer to You-azwj in the world, and share in the Hereafter, and Turn away from all of us every evil inheriting deprivation in the world, and barring rains of the sky, and its consequence is regret in the Hereafter!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اسْتَجِبْ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Respond and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww entire Progeny-asws!’
ثُمَّ تَخْرُجُ عَنْهُمَا وَ لَا تُوَلِّ ظَهْرَكَ إِلَيْهِمَا وَ امْضِ إِلَى السِّرْدَابِ فَزُرْ صَاحِبَ الْأَمْرِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ بِمَا سَيَأْتِي.
Then go out from them-asws and do not turn your back to them-asws, and continue to the basement and visit Master of the Command (Al-Qaim-ajfj), may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-ajfj with what I shall be coming with’’.[130]
