وَ تُمَكِّنَ لَهُ فِيهَا وَ تُنْجِزَ بِهِ وَعْدَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَتَّى لَا يُشْرِكَ بِكَ شَيْئاً وَ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى حَقٌّ إِلَّا ظَهَرَ وَ لَا عَدْلٌ إِلَّا زَهَرَ وَ حَتَّى لَا يَسْتَخْفِيَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ مَخَافَةَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ

يَمْلَأُهَا قِسْطاً وَ عَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ ظُلْماً وَ جَوْراً وَ تُمَكِّنَ لَهُ فِيهَا وَ تُنْجِزَ بِهِ وَعْدَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَتَّى لَا يُشْرِكَ بِكَ شَيْئاً وَ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى حَقٌّ إِلَّا ظَهَرَ وَ لَا عَدْلٌ إِلَّا زَهَرَ وَ حَتَّى لَا يَسْتَخْفِيَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ مَخَافَةَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ مَنْ‏ دَنا فَتَدَلَّى فَكانَ قابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنى‏ وَ اقْتَرَبَ مِنَ الْعَلِيِّ الْأَعْلَى لَيْتَ شِعْرِي أَيْنَ اسْتَقَرَّتْ بِكَ النَّوَى أَمْ أَنْتَ بِوَادِي طُوًى

The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O son^-ajfj of the one who approached, so he^-saww bowed, so it was as if he^-saww was like two bows or even nearer and closer to the most Exalted! If only I were aware where the fate has settled you^-ajfj, or are you^-ajfj at the valley of Tuwa?

عَزِيزٌ عَلَيَّ أَنْ تَرَى الْخَلْقَ وَ لَا تُرَى وَ لَا يُسْمَعُ لَكَ حَسِيسٌ وَ لَا نَجْوَى عَزِيزٌ عَلَيَّ أَنْ تَرَى الْخَلْقَ وَ لَا تُرَى عَزِيزٌ عَلَيَّ أَنْ تُحِيطَ بِكَ الْأَعْدَاءُ

It is painful upon me that you^-ajfj can see and cannot be seen, nor is any hiss of yours^-ajfj being heard nor any whisper! It is painful upon me that you^-ajfj see the creatures and are not seen! It is painful upon me that the enemies may have surrounded you^-ajfj!

بِنَفْسِي أَنْتَ مِنْ مُغَيَّبٍ مَا غَابَ عَنَّا بِنَفْسِي أَنْتَ مِنْ نَازِحٍ مَا نَزَحَ عَنَّا وَ نَحْنُ نَقُولُ‏ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ‏ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ‏

By my soul, you^-ajfj are from the unseen but not absent from us! By my soul, you^-ajfj are from the distant but not away from us, and we are saying the Praise is for Lord^-azwj of the worlds, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww entire Progeny^-asws!’

ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ يَدَيْكَ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ كَاشِفُ الْكُرَبِ وَ الْبَلْوَى وَ إِلَيْكَ نَشْكُو فَقْدَ نَبِيِّنَا وَ غَيْبَةَ إِمَامِنَا وَ ابْنِ بِنْتِ نَبِيِّنَا اللَّهُمَّ وَ امْلَأْ بِهِ الْأَرْضَ قِسْطاً وَ عَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ ظُلْماً وَ جَوْراً

Then raise your hands and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are the Remover of distress and the afflictions, and to You^-azwj we complain of the loss of our Prophet^-saww and absence of our Imam^-ajfj and son^-ajfj of the daughter^-asws of our Prophet^-saww! O Allah^-azwj, Fill the earth through him^-ajfj with fairness and justice just as it would have been filled with injustice and tyranny!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ- وَ أَرِنَا سَيِّدَنَا وَ صَاحِبَنَا وَ إِمَامَنَا وَ مَوْلَانَا صَاحِبَ الزَّمَانِ وَ مَلْجَأَ أَهْلِ عَصْرِنَا وَ مَنْجَى أَهْلِ دَهْرِنَا ظَاهِرَ الْمَقَالَةِ وَاضِحَ الدَّلَالَةِ هَادِياً مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ مُنْقِذاً مِنَ الْجَهَالَةِ وَ أَظْهِرْ مَعَالِمَهُ وَ ثَبِّتْ قَوَاعِدَهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and People^-asws of his^-saww Household, and Show us our chief, and our master, and our Imam^-asws, and our guardian, master of the times, and shelter of people of our era, and saviour of the people of our age, manifest in word, clear in sign, guiding from misguidance, rescuing from ignorance. Make his^-ajfj signs apparent and establish his^-ajfj foundations firmly.

وَ أَعِزَّ نَصْرَهُ وَ أَطِلْ عُمُرَهُ وَ ابْسُطْ جَاهَهُ وَ أَحْيِ أَمْرَهُ وَ أَظْهِرْ نُورَهُ وَ قَرِّبْ بُعْدَهُ وَ أَنْجِزْ وَعْدَهُ وَ أَوْفِ عَهْدَهُ وَ زَيِّنِ الْأَرْضَ بِطُولِ بَقَائِهِ وَ دَوَامِ مُلْكِهِ وَ عُلُوِّ ارْتِقَائِهِ وَ ارْتِفَاعِهِ وَ أَنِرْ مَشَاهِدَهُ وَ ثَبِّتْ قَوَاعِدَهُ وَ عَظِّمْ‏ بُرْهَانَهُ وَ أَمِدَّ سُلْطَانَهُ

And strengthen his^-ajfj support, prolong his^-ajfj life, expand his dignity, revive his^-ajfj mission, manifest his^-ajfj light, bring his^-ajfj distance near, fulfil his^-ajfj promise, uphold his^-ajfj covenant, adorn the earth with the length of his^-ajfj presence, the continuity of his^-ajfj rule, the height of his^-ajfj rise and elevation, illuminate his^-ajfj landmarks, establish his^-ajfj foundations, magnify his^-ajfj proof, and extend his^-ajfj authority.

وَ أَعْلِ مَكَانَهُ وَ قَوِّ أَرْكَانَهُ وَ أَرِنَا وَجْهَهُ وَ أَوْضِحْ بَهْجَتَهُ وَ ارْفَعْ دَرَجَتَهُ وَ أَظْهِرْ كَلِمَتَهُ وَ أَعِزَّ دَعْوَتَهُ وَ أَعْطِهِ سُؤْلَهُ وَ بَلِّغْهُ يَا رَبِّ مَأْمُولَهُ وَ شَرِّفْ مَقَامَهُ‏ وَ عَظِّمْ إِكْرَامَهُ وَ أَعِزَّ بِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَحْيِ بِهِ سُنَنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ أَذِلَّ بِهِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ

And raise his^-ajfj rank, strengthen his^-ajfj pillars, show us his^-ajfj face, reveal his^-ajfj radiance, elevate his^-ajfj station, manifest his^-ajfj word, honour his^-ajfj call, grant him his^-ajfj request, and deliver to him^-ajfj, O Lord^-azwj, his^-ajfj hope. Glorify his^-ajfj position, magnify his^-ajfj honour, strengthen the believers through him^-ajfj, revive through him^-ajfj the traditions of the Messengers^-as, and abase the hypocrites through him^-ajfj.

وَ أَهْلِكْ بِهِ الْجَبَّارِينَ وَ اكْفِهِ بَغْيَ الْحَاسِدِينَ وَ أَعِذْهُ مِنْ شَرِّ الْكَائِدِينَ وَ ازْجُرْ عَنْهُ إِرَادَةَ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ أَيِّدْهُ بِجُنُودٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مُسَوِّمِينَ وَ سَلِّطْهُ عَلَى أَعْدَاءِ دِينِكَ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ اقْصِمْ بِهِ كُلَّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ وَ أَخْمِدْ بِسَيْفِهِ كُلَّ نَارٍ وَقِيدٍ وَ أَنْفِذْ حُكْمَهُ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ

And destroy through him^-ajfj the tyrants, protect him^-ajfj from the aggression of the envious, shelter him^-ajfj from the evil of plotters, turn away from him^-ajfj the intentions of the oppressors, support him^-ajfj with marked angels as troops, give him^-ajfj power over all the enemies of Your^-azwj religion, break through him^-ajfj every stubborn tyrant, extinguish with his^-ajfj sword every flame of discord, and carry out his^-ajfj judgment in every place.

وَ أَقِمْ بِسُلْطَانِهِ كُلَّ سُلْطَانٍ وَ اقْمَعْ بِهِ عَبَدَةَ الْأَوْثَانِ وَ شَرِّفْ بِهِ أَهْلَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ أَظْهِرْهُ عَلَى كُلِّ الْأَدْيَانِ وَ اكْبِتْ مَنْ عَادَاهُ وَ أَذِلَّ مَنْ نَاوَاهُ وَ اسْتَأْصِلْ مَنْ جَحَدَ حَقَّهُ وَ أَنْكَرَ صِدْقَهُ وَ اسْتَهَانَ بِأَمْرِهِ وَ أَرَادَ إِخْمَادَ ذِكْرِهِ وَ سَعَى فِي إِطْفَاءِ نُورِهِ

And through his^-ajfj authority, Establish every just authority, suppress with him^-ajfj the worshippers of idols, honour through him^-ajfj the people of the Quran and Eman, prevail him^-ajfj over all religions, Humiliate those who oppose him^-ajfj, a base those who resist him^-ajfj, uproot those who deny his^-ajfj right, reject his^-ajfj truth, belittle his^-ajfj command, seek to extinguish his^-ajfj mention, and strive to put out his^-ajfj radiance.

اللَّهُمَّ نَوِّرْ بِنُورِهِ كُلَّ ظُلْمَةٍ وَ اكْشِفْ بِهِ كُلَّ غُمَّةٍ وَ قَدِّمْ أَمَامَهُ الرُّعْبَ وَ ثَبِّتْ بِهِ الْقَلْبَ وَ أَقِمْ بِهِ نُصْرَةَ الْحَرْبِ وَ اجْعَلْهُ الْقَائِمَ الْمُؤَمَّلَ وَ الْوَصِيَّ الْمُفَضَّلَ وَ الْإِمَامَ الْمُنْتَظَرَ وَ الْعَدْلَ الْمُخْتَبَرَ وَ امْلَأْ بِهِ الْأَرْضَ عَدْلًا وَ قِسْطاً كَمَا مُلِئَتْ جَوْراً وَ ظُلْماً وَ أَعِنْهُ عَلَى مَا وَلَّيْتَهُ وَ اسْتَخْلَفْتَهُ وَ اسْتَرْعَيْتَهُ حَتَّى يَجْرِيَ حُكْمُهُ عَلَى كُلِّ حُكْمٍ وَ يَهْدِيَ بِحَقِّهِ كُلَّ ضَلَالَةٍ

O Allah^-azwj! Illuminate every darkness with his^-ajfj light, Remove every distress through him^-ajfj, Send fear ahead of him^-ajfj, Strengthen the hearts through him^-ajfj, Establish through him^-ajfj the victory in battle, Make him^-ajfj the Qaim^-ajfj the hoped for, the chosen successor, the expected Imam^-ajfj, the tested embodiment of justice, and Fill the earth through him^-ajfj with justice and fairness just as it would have had been filled with injustice and oppression, and Support him^-ajfj upon what You^-azwj have Made him^-ajfj in charge of, and Make him^-ajfj a caliph and a caretaker or until his^-ajfj ruling flows upon every ruling, and Guide every straying by his^-ajfj right!

وَ احْرُسْهُ اللَّهُمَّ بِعَيْنِكَ الَّتِي لَا تَنَامُ وَ اكْنُفْهُ بِرُكْنِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ وَ أَعِزَّهُ بِعِزِّكَ الَّذِي لَا يُضَامُ وَ اجْعَلْنِي يَا إِلَهِي مِنْ عَدَدِهِ وَ مَدَدِهِ وَ أَنْصَارِهِ وَ أَعْوَانِهِ وَ أَرْكَانِهِ وَ أَشْيَاعِهِ وَ أَتْبَاعِهِ وَ أَذِقْنِي طَعْمَ فَرْحَتِهِ وَ أَلْبِسْنِي ثَوْبَ بَهْجَتِهِ

And guard him^-ajfj, O Allah^-azwj, with Your^-azwj eye that never sleeps, Shelter him^-ajfj with Your^-azwj invincible Protection, Strengthen him^-ajfj with Your^-azwj Might that cannot be overcome, and Make me, O my God^-azwj, among his^-ajfj numbers, his^-ajfj supporters, his^-ajfj helpers, his^-ajfj pillars, his^-ajfj followers, and his^-ajfj adherents. Let me taste the sweetness of his^-ajfj joy and Clothe me in the garment of his^-ajfj delight!

وَ أَحْضِرْنِي مَعَهُ لِبَيْعَتِهِ وَ تَأْكِيدِ عَقْدِهِ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَ الْمَقَامِ عِنْدَ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ وَ وَفِّقْنِي يَا رَبِّ لِلْقِيَامِ بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ الْمَثْوَى فِي خِدْمَتِهِ وَ الْمَكْثِ فِي دَوْلَتِهِ وَ اجْتِنَابِ مَعْصِيَتِهِ

And bring me into his^-ajfj presence for his^-ajfj pledge of allegiance and the affirmation of his^-ajfj covenant between the (Yemeni) corner and the standing place (of Ibrahim^-as) at Your^-azwj Sacred House, and Grant me, O Lord^-azwj, success in obeying him^-ajfj, residing in his^-ajfj service, remaining in his^-ajfj governance, and avoiding disobedience to him^-ajfj!

فَإِنْ تَوَفَّيْتَنِي اللَّهُمَّ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَاجْعَلْنِي يَا رَبِّ فِيمَنْ يَكُرُّ فِي رَجْعَتِهِ وَ يُمَلَّكُ فِي دَوْلَتِهِ وَ يَتَمَكَّنُ فِي أَيَّامِهِ وَ يَسْتَظِلُّ تَحْتَ أَعْلَامِهِ وَ يُحْشَرُ فِي زُمْرَتِهِ وَ تَقَرُّ عَيْنُهُ بِرُؤْيَتِهِ بِفَضْلِكَ وَ إِحْسَانِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ وَ امْتِنَانِكَ إِنَّكَ‏ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ‏ وَ الْمَنِّ الْقَدِيمِ وَ الْإِحْسَانِ الْكَرِيمِ‏

So if You^-azwj Cause me to die, O Allah^-azwj, before that, then place me, O Lord^-azwj, among those who return during his^-ajfj reappearance, are granted authority in his^-ajfj government, find stability in his^-ajfj days, seek shade under his^-ajfj banners, are gathered in his^-ajfj group, and whose eyes find joy in seeing him^-ajfj by Your^-azwj Grace, Kindness, Generosity, and Favour. Indeed, You^-azwj are the Magnificent Grace, and the ancient Conferment, and the Benevolent Favours!’

ثُمَّ صَلِّ فِي مَكَانِكَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً وَ اقْرَأْ فِيهَا مَا شِئْتَ وَ أَهْدِهَا لَهُ ع فَإِذَا سَلَّمْتَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَسَبِّحْ تَسْبِيحَ الزَّهْرَاءِ ع وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَ مِنْكَ السَّلَامُ وَ إِلَيْكَ يَعُودُ السَّلَامُ حَيِّنَا رَبَّنَا مِنْكَ بِالسَّلَامِ

Then pray in your place twelve units Salat and read in it whatever you like and gift it to him^-ajfj. When you have performed Salaam in every two units, glorify with the glorification of Al-Zahra^-asws (Tasbeeh) and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are the ‘Salaam’, and from You^-azwj is the ‘Salaam’, and to You^-azwj returns the ‘Salaam’! Our Lord^-azwj, Cause us to live with the ‘Salaam’ from You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الرَّكَعَاتِ هَدِيَّةٌ مِنِّي إِلَى وَلِيِّكَ وَ ابْنِ وَلِيِّكَ وَ ابْنِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الْإِمَامِ ابْنِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْخَلَفِ الصَّالِحِ الْحُجَّةِ صَاحِبِ الزَّمَانِ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ بَلِّغْهُ إِيَّاهَا وَ أَعْطِنِي أَفْضَلَ أَمَلِي وَ رَجَائِي فِيكَ وَ فِي رَسُولِكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! These units of Salaat are a gift from me to Your^-azwj guardian and son^-ajfj of Your^-azwj guardian and son^-ajfj of Your^-azwj guardians, the Imam son^-ajfj of the Imams, the righteous caliph, the Divine Authority master of the time! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make him^-ajfj reach it and Grant me best of my wishes and my hopes in You^-azwj and in Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww! May Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-ajfj and upon all his^-saww Progeny^-asws!’

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَادْعُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَ هُوَ دُعَاءٌ مَشْهُورٌ يُدْعَى بِهِ فِي غَيْبَةِ الْقَائِمِ ع وَ هُوَ اللَّهُمَّ عَرِّفْنِي نَفْسَكَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تُعَرِّفْنِي نَفْسَكَ لَمْ أَعْرِفْ رَسُولَكَ

When you are free from the Salat, supplicate with this supplication, and it is the famous supplication supplicated with during occultation of Al-Qaim^-ajfj, and it is, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Introduce me to Yourself^-azwj for if You^-azwj do not Introduce me to Yourself^-azwj, I will not recognise Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww!

اللَّهُمَّ عَرِّفْنِي رَسُولَكَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تُعَرِّفْنِي رَسُولَكَ لَمْ أَعْرِفْ حُجَّتَكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Introduce me to Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, for if You^-azwj do not Introduce me to Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, I will not recognise Your^-azwj Divine Authority!

اللَّهُمَّ عَرِّفْنِي حُجَّتَكَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تُعَرِّفْنِي حُجَّتَكَ ضَلَلْتُ عَنْ دِينِي

O Allah^-azwj! Introduce me to Your^-azwj Divine Authority, for if You^-azwj do not Introduce me to Your^-azwj Divine Authority, I will stray away from my religion!

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُمِتْنِي مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً وَ لَا تُزِغْ قَلْبِي بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنِي

O Allah^-azwj! Do not Cause me to die the death of the Pre-Islamic period, and do not Let my heart to deviate after having Guided me!

اللَّهُمَّ فَكَمَا هَدَيْتَنِي بِوَلَايَةِ مَنْ فَرَضْتَ عَلَيَّ طَاعَتَهُ مِنْ وُلَاةِ أَمْرِكَ بَعْدَ رَسُولِكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ حَتَّى وَالَيْتُ وُلَاةَ أَمْرِكَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ وَ عَلِيّاً وَ مُحَمَّداً وَ جَعْفَراً وَ مُوسَى وَ عَلِيّاً وَ مُحَمَّداً وَ عَلِيّاً وَ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُجَّةَ الْقَائِمَ الْمَهْدِيَّ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Just as You^-azwj have Guided me the Wilayah of the one the obedience to him^-ajfj You^-azwj have Imposed upon me, from masters of Your^-azwj Command after Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws until I have befriended the guardians of Your^-azwj Command, Amir Al-Momineen Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws, and Al-Hassan^-asws, and Al-Husayn^-asws, and Ali^-asws, and Muhammad^-saww, and Ja’far^-asws, and Musa^-asws, and Ali^-asws, and Muhammad^-asws, and Ali^-asws, and Al-Hassan^-asws, and the Divine Authority Al-Qaim^-ajfj, the Mahdi, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon all of them^-asws!

اللَّهُمَّ فَثَبِّتْنِي عَلَى دِينِكَ وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ لَيِّنْ قَلْبِي لِوَلِيِّ أَمْرِكَ وَ عَافِنِي مِمَّا امْتَحَنْتَ بِهِ خَلْقَكَ وَ ثَبِّتْنِي عَلَى طَاعَةِ وَلِيِّ أَمْرِكَ الَّذِي سَتَرْتَهُ عَنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ بِإِذْنِكَ غَابَ عَنْ بَرِيَّتِكَ وَ أَمْرَكَ يَنْتَظِرُ

O Allah^-azwj! Affirm me upon Your^-azwj religion, and Utilise me in Your^-azwj obedience, and Soften my heart for the guardian of Your^-azwj Command, and Excuse me from what You^-azwj have Tested Your^-azwj creatures with, and Affirm me upon obedience to the guardian of Your^-azwj Command whom You^-azwj Concealed from Your^-azwj creatures, and by Your^-azwj Permission disappeared from Your^-azwj Created beings and awaiting Your^-azwj Command!

وَ أَنْتَ الْعَالِمُ غَيْرُ الْمُعَلَّمِ بِالْوَقْتِ الَّذِي فِيهِ صَلَاحُ أَمْرِ وَلِيِّكَ فِي الْإِذْنِ لَهُ بِإِظْهَارِ أَمْرِهِ وَ كَشْفِ سِرِّهِ

And You^-azwj are the Knower without being taught, of the time in which it is correct for the Command to Your^-azwj guardian regarding the permission for him^-ajfj with the revealing of his^-ajfj matter, and removal of his^-ajfj secrecy!

فَصَبِّرْنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ حَتَّى لَا أُحِبَّ تَعْجِيلَ مَا أَخَّرْتَ وَ لَا تَأْخِيرَ مَا عَجَّلْتَ وَ لَا كَشْفَ مَا سَتَرْتَ وَ لَا الْبَحْثَ عَمَّا كَتَمْتَ وَ لَا أُنَازِعَكَ فِي تَدْبِيرِكَ وَ لَا أَقُولَ لِمَ وَ كَيْفَ وَ لَا مَا بَالُ وَلِيِّ الْأَمْرِ لَا يَظْهَرُ وَ قَدِ امْتَلَأَتِ الْأَرْضُ مِنَ الْجَوْرِ وَ أُفَوِّضُ أُمُورِي‏كُلَّهَا إِلَيْكَ  

So, Cause me to be patient upon that until I don’t love the hastening of what You^-azwj Delay nor delay of what You^-azwj Hasten, not uncovering of what You^-azwj Conceal nor the searching of what You^-azwj have Hidden, nor would I contend regarding Your^-azwj Management nor will I say ‘why’, and ‘how’, nor ‘why doesn’t guardian of the Command appear and the earth has already filled upon from the tyranny?’, and I delegate all of my affairs to You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُرِيَنِي وَلِيَّ أَمْرِكَ ظَاهِراً نَافِذَ الْأَمْرِ مَعَ عِلْمِي بِأَنَّ لَكَ السُّلْطَانَ وَ الْقُدْرَةَ وَ الْبُرْهَانَ وَ الْحُجَّةَ وَ الْمَشِيَّةَ وَ الْحَوْلَ وَ الْقُوَّةَ

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj to Show me the guardian of Your^-azwj Command, apparently, implementation of the Command along with my knowledge that for You^-azwj is the Authority, and the Power, and the Proof, and the Divine Authority, and the Desire, and the Might and the Strength.

فَافْعَلْ بِي ذَلِكَ وَ بِجَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَتَّى نَنْظُرَ إِلَى وَلِيِّ أَمْرِكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْكَ وَ آلِهِ ظَاهِرَ الْمَقَالَةِ وَاضِحَ الدَّلَالَةِ هَادِياً مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ شَافِياً مِنَ الْجَهَالَةِ أَبْرِزْ يَا رَبِّ مَشَاهِدَهُ وَ ثَبِّتْ قَوَاعِدَهُ وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ تُقِرُّ عَيْنَهُ بِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَ أَقِمْنَا بِخِدْمَتِهِ وَ تَوَفَّنَا عَلَى مِلَّتِهِ وَ احْشُرْنَا فِي زُمْرَتِهِ

Therefore, Do that with me and Gather the Momineen until we look at the guardian of Your^-azwj Command, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-ajfj and his^-ajfj Progeny^-ajfj clearly proclaimed in speech, evident in guidance, leading from misguidance, and healing from ignorance. Bring forth, O Lord^-azwj, his^-ajfj appearance, establish his^-ajfj foundations, and make us among those whose eyes are comforted by seeing him^-ajfj. Let us stand in his^-ajfj service, cause us to die on his^-ajfj path, and gather us in his^-ajfj group.

اللَّهُمَّ أَعِذْهُ مِنْ شَرِّ جَمِيعِ مَا خَلَقْتَ وَ ذَرَأْتَ وَ بَرَأْتَ وَ أَنْشَأْتَ وَ صَوَّرْتَ وَ احْفَظْهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ بِحِفْظِكَ الَّذِي لَا يَضِيعُ مَنْ حَفِظْتَهُ بِهِ وَ احْفَظْ فِيهِ رَسُولَكَ وَ وَصِيَّ رَسُولِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ السَّلَامُ

O Allah^-azwj! Shelter him^-ajfj from evil of all what You^-azwj have Created, and Scattered, and Made, and Grown, and Imaged, and Protect him^-ajfj from his^-ajfj front, and from his^-ajfj back, and on his^-ajfj right and on his^-ajfj left, with Your^-azwj Protection which does not subside the one who is Protected by it, and Protect in him^-ajfj, Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww and successor^-asws of Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, may the greeting be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws!

وَ مُدَّ عُمُرَهُ وَ زِدْ فِي أَجَلِهِ وَ أَعِنْهُ عَلَى مَا وَلَّيْتَهُ وَ اسْتَرْعَيْتَهُ وَ زِدْ فِي كَرَامَتِكَ لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ الْهَادِي الْمَهْدِيُّ وَ الْقَائِمُ الْمُهْتَدِي وَ الطَّاهِرُ التَّقِيُّ الزَّكِيُّ النَّقِيُّ الرَّضِيُّ الْمَرْضِيُّ الصَّابِرُ الشَّكُورُ الْمُجْتَهِدُ

And Extend his^-ajfj lifespan, and Increase in his^-ajfj term, and Assist him^-ajfj upon what You^-azwj have Made him^-ajfj in charge of and Entrusted him^-ajfj with, and Increase in Your^-azwj Benevolence to him^-ajfj for he^-ajfj is the guide, the guided, and the rightly guided custodian, and the clean, the pious, the pure, the virtuous, the contented, the pleasing, the patient, the grateful, the diligent!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ لَا تَسْلُبْنَا الْيَقِينَ لِطُولِ الْأَمَدِ فِي غَيْبَتِهِ وَ انْقِطَاعِ خَبَرِهِ عَنَّا وَ لَا تُنْسِنَا ذِكْرَهُ وَ انْتِظَارَهُ وَ الْإِيمَانَ بِهِ وَ قُوَّةَ الْيَقِينِ فِي ظُهُورِهِ وَ الدُّعَاءَ لَهُ وَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى لَا تُقَنِّطَنَا غَيْبَتُهُ مِنْ قِيَامِهِ وَ يَكُونَ يَقِينُنَا فِي ذَلِكَ كَيَقِينِنَا فِي قِيَامِ رَسُولِكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ مِنْ وَحْيِكَ وَ تَنْزِيلِكَ

O Allah^-azwj, and do not Strip us of the certainty due to the lengthy period of his^-ajfj occultations and cutting off of his^-ajfj news from us, and do not let us forget his^-ajfj mention, and awaiting him^-asws, and the Eman with him^-ajfj, and strength of the conviction in his^-ajfj appearance, and the supplication for him^-ajfj, and the Salawaat upon him^-ajfj until we do not despair during his^-ajfj occultation of his^-ajfj rising, and our conviction in that would be like our conviction regarding the rising of Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and what he^-saww had come with of Your^-azwj Revelation and Your^-azwj Scripture!

فَقَوِّ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ بِهِ حَتَّى تَسْلُكَ بِنَا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ مِنْهَاجَ الْهُدَى وَ الْمَحَجَّةَ الْعُظْمَى وَ الطَّرِيقَةَ الْوُسْطَى وَ قَوِّنَا عَلَى طَاعَتِهِ وَ ثَبِّتْنَا عَلَى مُتَابَعَتِهِ وَ اجْعَلْنَا فِي حِزْبِهِ وَ أَعْوَانِهِ وَ أَنْصَارِهِ وَ الرَّاضِينَ بِفِعْلِهِ وَ لَا تَسْلُبْنَا ذَلِكَ فِي حَيَاتِنَا وَ لَا عِنْدَ وَفَاتِنَا حَتَّى تَتَوَفَّانَا وَ نَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ لَا شَاكِّينَ وَ لَا نَاكِثِينَ وَ لَا مُرْتَابِينَ وَ لَا مُكَذِّبِينَ

So, Strengthen our hearts with faith in him^-ajfj, until You^-azwj Guide us through his^-ajfj hands along the path of guidance, the great clear way, and the balanced course. Empower us in obedience to him^-ajfj, keep us firm in following him^-ajfj, and make us among his^-ajfj party, his^-ajfj helpers, his^-ajfj supporters, and those content with his actions. Do not Take that away from us in our lifetime nor at our death, until You^-azwj Cause us to die while we are upon that without doubt, without betrayal, without uncertainty, and without denial!

اللَّهُمَّ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُ وَ أَيِّدْهُ بِالنَّصْرِ وَ انْصُرْ نَاصِرِيهِ وَ اخْذُلْ خَاذِلِيهِ وَ دَمْدِمْ عَلَى مَنْ نَصَبَ لَهُ وَ كَذَّبَ بِهِ وَ أَظْهِرْ بِهِ الْحَقَّ وَ أَمِتْ بِهِ الْجَوْرَ وَ اسْتَنْقِذْ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ انْعَشْ بِهِ الْبِلَادَ وَ اقْتُلْ بِهِ الْجَبَابِرَةَ وَ الْكَفَرَةَ

O Allah^-azwj! Hasten his^-ajfj relief and Aid him^-ajfj with the victory and Help his^-ajfj helpers, and Abandon his^-ajfj abandoners, and Pulverise the ones who are hostile to him^-ajfj, and belie him^-ajfj, and Reveal the truth through him^-ajfj, and Kill the tyranny through him^-ajfj, and Save Your^-azwj Momineen servants through him^-ajfj from the humiliation, and Revive the lands through him^-ajfj, and Kill the tyrants and the Kafirs through him^-ajfj!

وَ اقْصِمْ بِهِ‏ رُءُوسَ الضَّلَالَةِ وَ ذَلِّلْ بِهِ الْجَبَّارِينَ وَ الْكَافِرِينَ وَ أَبِرْ بِهِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَ النَّاكِثِينَ وَ جَمِيعَ الْمُخَالِفِينَ وَ الْمُلْحِدِينَ فِي مَشَارِقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبِهَا وَ بَرِّهَا وَ سَهْلِهَا وَ جَبَلِهَا حَتَّى لَا تَدَعَ مِنْهُمْ دَيَّاراً وَ لَا تُبْقِيَ لَهُمْ آثَاراً طَهِّرْ مِنْهُمْ بِلَادَكَ وَ اشْفِ مِنْهُمْ صُدُورَ عِبَادِكَ

And Break the heads of the straying through him^-asws, and Humiliate the tyrants and the Kafirs through him^-ajfj, and destroy through him^-ajfj the hypocrites and the breakers (of the allegiance) and entirety of the adversaries and the atheists, in the easts of the earth and its wests, and its lands and its coasts, and its mountains until You^-azwj do not Leave any houses from them nor any traces remain of them! Purify Your^-azwj lands from them and Heal the chests of Your^-azwj servants from them!

وَ جَدِّدْ بِهِ مَا امْتَحَى مِنْ دِينِكَ وَ أَصْلِحْ بِهِ مَا بُدِّلَ مِنْ حُكْمِكَ وَ غُيِّرَ مِنْ سُنَّتِكَ حَتَّى يَعُودَ دِينُكَ بِهِ وَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ غَضّاً جَدِيداً صَحِيحاً لَا عِوَجَ فِيهِ وَ لَا بِدْعَةَ مَعَهُ حَتَّى تُطْفِئَ بِعَدْلِهِ نِيرَانَ الْكَافِرِينَ

And through him^-ajfj, Renew what has been erased from Your^-ajfj religion, reform through him^-ajfj what has been altered from Your^-azwj Judgment and changed from Your^-azwj Sunnah, until Your^-azwj religion returns through him^-ajfj and by his^-ajfj hands fresh, new, and sound, with no deviation in it and no innovation accompanying it, until, by his^-ajfj justice, You^-azwj Extinguish the fires of the Kafirs!

فَإِنَّهُ عَبْدُكَ الَّذِي اسْتَخْلَصْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ ارْتَضَيْتَهُ لِنَصْرِ دِينِكَ وَ اصْطَفَيْتَهُ بِعِلْمِكَ وَ عَصَمْتَهُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ بَرَّأْتَهُ مِنَ الْعُيُوبِ وَ أَطْلَعْتَهُ عَلَى الْغُيُوبِ وَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ وَ طَهَّرْتَهُ مِنَ الرِّجْسِ وَ نَقَّيْتَهُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ

He^-ajfj is Your^-azwj servant whom You^-azwj have Chosen for Yourself^-azwj, Approved for the support of Your^-azwj religion, Selected through Your^-azwj Knowledge, Protected from sins, Cleared from faults, Granted insight into the unseen, Bestowed with Your^-azwj bounties, Purified from impurity, and Cleansed from filth!

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى آبَائِهِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ عَلَى شِيعَتِهِ الْمُنْتَجَبِينَ وَ بَلِّغْهُمْ مِنْ أَيَّامِهِمْ مَا يَأْمُلُونَ وَ اجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ مِنَّا خَالِصاً مِنْ كُلِّ شَكٍّ وَ شُبْهَةٍ وَ رِيَاءٍ وَ سُمْعَةٍ حَتَّى لَا نُرِيدَ بِهِ غَيْرَكَ وَ لَا نَطْلُبَ بِهِ إِلَّا وَجْهَكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon him^-asws and upon his^-ajfj forefathers^-asws, the pure Imams^-asws, and upon his^-asws selected Shias, and Make them reach from their days what they are hoping for, and Make that sincere from us from every doubt and suspicious, and showing off, and reputation until we do not intend with it apart from You^-azwj nor do we seek with it except Your^-azwj Face!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ فَقْدَ نَبِيِّنَا وَ غَيْبَةَ إِمَامِنَا وَ شِدَّةَ الزَّمَانِ عَلَيْنَا وَ وُقُوعَ الْفِتَنِ بِنَا وَ تَظَاهُرَ الْأَعْدَاءِ وَ كَثْرَةَ عَدُوِّنَا وَ قِلَّةَ عَدَدِنَا

O Allah^-azwj! We complain to You^-azwj of the loss of our Prophet^-saww, and occultation of our Imam^-ajfj, and hardship of the times upon us, and occurrence of the Fitna with us, and prevalence of the enemies, and large numbers of our enemies, and fewness of our numbers!

اللَّهُمَّ فَافْرِجْ ذَلِكَ عَنَّا بِفَتْحٍ مِنْكَ تُعَجِّلُهُ وَ نَصْرٍ مِنْكَ تُعِزُّهُ وَ إِمَامِ عَدْلٍ تُظْهِرُهُ إِلَهَ الْحَقِّ آمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Relieve that from us with a victory from You^-azwj Hastening it, and Help from You^-azwj Strengthening it, and a just Imam^-ajfj Revealing him^-ajfj, God^-azwj of the truth, Ameen!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لِوَلِيِّكَ فِي إِظْهَارِ عَدْلِكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ وَ قَتْلِ أَعْدَائِكَ فِي بِلَادِكَ حَتَّى لَا تَدَعَ لِلْجَوْرِ يَا رَبِّ دِعَامَةً إِلَّا قَصَمْتَهَا وَ لَا بَقِيَّةً إِلَّا أَفْنَيْتَهَا وَ لَا قُوَّةً إِلَّا أَوْهَنْتَهَا وَ لَا رُكْناً إِلَّا هَدَمْتَهُ

O Allah^-azwj! We ask You^-azwj to Permit for Your^-azwj guardian in revealing Your^-azwj Justice among Your^-azwj servants, and Kill Your^-azwj enemies in Your^-azwj lands until You^-azwj do not Leave any pillar for the tyranny, O Lord^-azwj, except You^-azwj Break it, nor any spot except You^-azwj Perish it, and nor strength except You^-azwj weaken it, nor any cornerstone except You^-azwj Demolish it!

وَ لَا حَدّاً إِلَّا فَلَلْتَهُ وَ لَا سِلَاحاً إِلَّا أَذْلَلْتَهُ وَ لَا رَايَةً إِلَّا نَكَّسْتَهُ وَ لَا شُجَاعاً إِلَّا قَتَلْتَهُ وَ لَا جَيْشاً إِلَّا خَذَلْتَهُ وَ ارْمِهِمْ يَا رَبِّ بِحَجَرِكَ الدَّامِغِ وَ اضْرِبْهُمْ بِسَيْفِكَ الْقَاطِعِ وَ بَأْسِكَ الَّذِي لَا تَرُدُّ عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ

And let there be no blade but You^-azwj Blunt it, no weapon but You^-azwj Humble it, no banner but You^-azwj Lower it, no warrior but You^-azwj Slay him, and no army but You^-azwj Defeat it. Strike them, O Lord^-azwj, with Your^-azwj crushing stone, and Smite them with Your^-azwj Decisive sword and with Your^-azwj Might that is not turned away from the criminal people.

وَ عَذِّبْ أَعْدَاءَكَ وَ أَعْدَاءَ وَلِيِّكَ وَ أَعْدَاءَ رَسُولِكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بِيَدِ وَلِيِّكَ وَ أَيْدِي عِبَادِكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Punish Your^-azwj enemies, the enemies of Your^-azwj guardian, and the enemies of Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww! May Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, by the hand of Your^-azwj guardian and the hands of Your^-azwj believing servants!

اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِ وَلِيَّكَ وَ حُجَّتَكَ فِي أَرْضِكَ هَوْلَ عَدُوِّهِ وَ كَيْدَ مَنْ أَرَادَهُ وَ امْكُرْ بِمَنْ مَكَرَ بِهِ وَ اجْعَلْ دَائِرَةَ السَّوْءِ عَلَى مَنْ أَرَادَ بِهِ سُوءاً وَ اقْطَعْ عَنْهُ مَادَّتَهُمْ- وَ أَرْعِبْ لَهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ وَ زَلْزِلْ أَقْدَامَهُمْ وَ خُذْهُمْ جَهْرَةً وَ بَغْتَةً

O Allah^-azwj! Protect Your^-azwj guardian and Your^-azwj Divine authority on Your^-azwj earth from the terror of his^-ajfj enemy and the plotting of those who intend him^-ajfj harm. Plot against those who plot against him^-ajfj, and Turn the evil back upon those who seek evil for him^-ajfj. Cut off their support, Strike fear into their hearts for him, Shake their footing, Seize them openly and suddenly.

وَ شَدِّدْ عَلَيْهِمْ عَذَابَكَ وَ أَخْزِهِمْ فِي عِبَادِكَ وَ الْعَنْهُمْ فِي بِلَادِكَ وَ أَسْكِنْهُمْ أَسْفَلَ نَارِكَ وَ أَحِطْ بِهِمْ أَشَدَّ عَذَابِكَ وَ أَصْلِهِمْ نَاراً وَ احْشُ قُبُورَ مَوْتَاهُمْ نَاراً وَ أَصْلِهِمْ حَرَّ نَارِكَ فَإِنَّهُمْ‏ أَضاعُوا الصَّلاةَ وَ اتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَواتِ‏ وَ أَضَلُّوا عِبَادَكَ وَ أَخْرَبُوا بِلَادَكَ

Intensify Your^-azwj Punishment upon them, Disgrace them among Your^-azwj servants, Curse them throughout Your^-azwj lands, and Make them dwell in the lowest part of Your^-azwj Fire. Encompass them with the harshest of Your^-azwj Punishments, Burn them in Your^-azwj Fire, and Fill the graves of their dead with fire. Scorch them with the heat of Your^-azwj Fire, for they have neglected the Salat, followed their desires, misled Your^-azwj servants, and ruined Your^-azwj lands!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَحْيِ بِوَلِيِّكَ الْقُرْآنَ وَ أَرِنَا نُورَهُ سَرْمَداً لَا لَيْلَ فِيهِ وَ أَحْيِ بِهِ الْقُلُوبَ الْمَيْتَةَ وَ اشْفِ بِهِ الصُّدُورَ الْوَغِرَةَ وَ اجْمَعْ بِهِ الْأَهْوَاءَ الْمُخْتَلِفَةَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَ أَقِمْ بِهِ الْحُدُودَ الْمُعَطَّلَةَ وَ الْأَحْكَامَ الْمُهْمَلَةَ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى حَقٌّ إِلَّا ظَهَرَ وَ لَا عَدْلٌ إِلَّا زَهَرَ

O Allah^-azwj! Through Your^-azwj guardian, Revive the Quran, and Show us its light constantly, with no night within it. Bring to life with him^-ajfj the dead hearts, heal with him^-ajfj the resentful chests, unite through him^-ajfj the differing desires upon the truth, Establish with him^-ajfj the neglected limits and the forsaken rulings, until no right remains except it is revealed, nor any justice except it blossoms!

وَ اجْعَلْنَا يَا رَبِّ مِنْ أَعْوَانِهِ وَ مُقَوِّيَةِ سُلْطَانِهِ وَ الْمُؤْتَمِرِينَ لِأَمْرِهِ وَ الرَّاضِينَ بِفِعْلِهِ وَ الْمُسَلِّمِينَ لِأَحْكَامِهِ وَ مِمَّنْ لَا حَاجَةَ بِهِ إِلَى التَّقِيَّةِ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ

And O Lord^-azwj, Make us from his^-ajfj supporters, and Strengthen his^-ajfj authority, and the implementers of his^-ajfj orders, and the ones pleased with his^-ajfj actions, and the submitters to his^-ajfj rulings, and from the ones there is no need to the dissimulation from Your^-azwj creatures!

وَ أَنْتَ يَا رَبِّ الَّذِي تَكْشِفُ الضُّرَّ وَ تُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاكَ وَ تُنَجِّي مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ فَاكْشِفِ الضُّرَّ عَنْ وَلِيِّكَ وَ اجْعَلْهُ خَلِيفَةً فِي أَرْضِكَ كَمَا ضَمِنْتَ لَهُ

And You^-azwj O Lord^-azwj, are the One Who Removes the harm, and Responds to the desperate when he supplicates to You^-azwj, and Saves from the mighty distress, so Remove the harm from Your^-azwj guardian and Make him^-ajfj a caliph in Your^-azwj earth just as You^-azwj have Guaranteed to him^-ajfj!

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِنْ خُصَمَاءِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَعْدَاءِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحَنَقِ وَ الْغَيْظِ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع فَإِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَعِذْنِي وَ أَسْتَجِيرُ بِكَ فَأَجِرْنِي

O Allah^-azwj! Do not Make me from the disputers to the Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and do not Make me from enemies of Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and do not Make me from the people of anger and rage upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, for I take refuge with You^-azwj from that, so Refuge me and I seek shelter with You^-azwj, so Shelter me!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْنِي بِهِمْ عِنْدَكَ فَائِزاً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ آمِينَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ‏.

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make me in Your^-azwj Presence through them^-asws, successful in the world and the Hereafter, and from the ones of Proximity, Ameen, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds!’’[2]

زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى لَهُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ هِيَ الْمَعْرُوفَةُ بِالنُّدْبَةِ خَرَجَتْ مِنَ النَّاحِيَةِ الْمَحْفُوفَةِ بِالْقُدْسِ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ وَ أَمَرَ أَنْ تُتْلَى فِي السِّرْدَابِ الْمُقَدَّسِ وَ هِيَ‏

Another Ziyarat for him^-ajfj, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-ajfj, and it is well-known as ‘Al-Nudba’ having emerged from the area sacred with the Holiness, to Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Abdullah Al-Himeyri, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, and he instructed that it be recited in the Holy basement, and it is: –

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ لَا لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ تَعْقِلُونَ وَ لَا مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِهِ تَقْبَلُونَ‏ حِكْمَةٌ بالِغَةٌ فَما تُغْنِ‏ الْآياتُ وَ النُّذُرُ عَنْ قَوْمٍ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ‏

‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! Neither are you understanding the Commands of Allah^-azwj nor are you accepting from His^-azwj guardians, a conclusive wisdom, but the signs and the warning did not avail a people who do not believe!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ سَلَامٌ عَلَى آلِ يَاسِينَ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِينُ‏ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ‏ لِمَنْ يَهْدِيهِ صِرَاطَهُ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ

The greeting be upon us^-ajfj and upon the righteous servants of Allah^-azwj! Greeting be upon the Progeny^-asws of Yaseen^-saww, that is the manifest Grace for the one whom He^-azwj Guides to the straight path!

قَدْ آتَاكُمُ اللَّهُ يَا آلَ يَاسِينَ خِلَافَتَهُ وَ عِلْمَ مَجَارِي‏ أَمْرِهِ فِيمَا قَضَاهُ وَ دَبَّرَهُ وَ رَتَّبَهُ وَ أَرَادَهُ فِي مَلَكُوتِهِ

O Progeny^-asws of Yaseen^-saww! Allah^-azwj has Given you^-asws all His^-azwj Caliphate, and knowledge to flow His^-azwj Commands in whatever He^-azwj Decrees, and Manager, and Arranges, and Will in His^-azwj Domains.

فَلْتَسَعْنِي رَحْمَتُكَ يَا وَلِيُّ يَا حَمِيدُ بِمَرْأَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مَسْمَعِكَ يَا حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ دُعَائِي فَوَفِّنِي مُنْجِزَاتِ إِجَابَتِي أَعْتَصِمُ بِكَ مَعَكَ‏ مَعَكَ مَعَكَ سَمْعِي وَ رِضَايَ يَا كَرِيم.

Let Your^-azwj Mercy Encompass me O Guardian, O Praiseworthy by my seeing the Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and your^-ajfj hearing my supplication, O Divine authority of Allah^-azwj! So, Grant me fulfilment of the success of my Answers. I adhere with you^-ajfj, with you^-ajfj, with you^-ajfj, with you^-ajfj is my hearing and my contentment, O Benevolent!’’[3]

أَقُولُ قَالَ مُؤَلِّفُ الْمَزَارِ الْكَبِيرِ حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْفَقِيهُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَرَبِيُّ بْنُ مُسَافِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِدَارِهِ بِالْحِلَّةِ فِي شَهْرِ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ سَنَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَ سَبْعِينَ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ وَ حَدَّثَنِي الشَّيْخُ أَبُو الْبَقَاءِ هِبَةُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نَمَاءِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُمْدُونٍ

I say, ‘The compiler of ‘Al-Mazar Al-Kabeer’ said, ‘It is narrated to us by the Sheykh, the jurist Abu Muhammad Araby Bin Musafir, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, in his house at Al-Hilla during the month of Rabbi Al-Awwal of the year five hundred and seventy-three, and it is narrated to me by the Sheykh Abu Al-Baqa’a Hibtullah Bin Nama’a Bin Ali Bin Hamdoun.

قَالا جَمِيعاً حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْأَمِينُ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ طَحَّالٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ ره بِمَشْهَدِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ

They both said together, ‘It is narrated to us by the Sheykh Al-Ameen Al-Husayn Bin Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Tahhal Al-Baghdadi at the Shrine of our master Amir Al-Momineen Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-asws.

قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الطُّوسِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِالْمَشْهَدِ الْمَذْكُورِ عَنْ وَالِدِهِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَشْنَاسَ الْبَزَّازِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْقُمِّيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَنْجَوَيْهِ الْقُمِّيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ

He said, ‘It is narrated to us by the Sheykh Al-Mufeed Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Tusi, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, at the mentioned Shrine, from his father Abu Ja’far Al-Tusi, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Ashnas Al-Bazzaz, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Yahya Al Qummi, from Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Zanjawayh Al-Qummi, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al-Himeyri.

قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَشْنَاسَ وَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْمُفَضَّلِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ أَنَّ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ وَ أَجَازَ لَهُ جَمِيعَ مَا رَوَاهُ‏ أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ النَّاحِيَةِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ حَرَسَهَا اللَّهُ بَعْدَ الْمَسَائِلِ وَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ التَّوَجُّهِ أَوَّلُهُ‏

He said, ‘Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Ashnas said, and Abu Al-Mufazzal Muhammad Bin Ubeydullah Al-Shaybani informed us that Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al-Himeyri informed him, and allowed for him entirety of what we are reporting, that there emerged to him from the Holy Corner, may Allah^-azwj Guard it, after the questions and the Salat, and the diverting, its beginning is: –

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ لَا لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ تَعْقِلُونَ وَ لَا مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِهِ تَقْبَلُونَ‏ حِكْمَةٌ بالِغَةٌ عَنْ قَوْمٍ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ‏ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ

‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! Neither are you (general Muslims) understanding the Commands of Allah^-azwj nor are you accepting from His^-azwj guardians (Imams^-asws) the extensive wisdom, so what can warnings avail a people who do not believe, and may the greeting be upon us^-ajfj and upon the righteous servants of Allah^-azwj!

فَإِذَا أَرَدْتُمُ التَّوَجُّهَ بِنَا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ إِلَيْنَا فَقُولُوا كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى سَلَامٌ عَلَى آلِ يَاسِينَ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِينُ‏ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ‏ مَنْ يَهْدِيهِ صِرَاطَهُ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ التَّوَجُّهَ قَدْ آتَاكُمُ اللَّهُ يَا آلَ يَاسِينَ خِلَافَتَهُ وَ مَجَارِيَ أَمْرِهِ.

When you intend to divert through us^-ajfj to Allah^-azwj the Exalted and to us^-ajfj, then say just as Allah^-azwj the Exalted has Said: “Greeting be upon the Progeny^-asws of Yaseen^-saww!’, that is the manifest Grace, and Allah^-azwj is Possessor of the Magnificent Grace! One He^-azwj Guides to His^-azwj Straight Path, it is the diverting (to the 12^th Imam^-ajfj)! Allah^-azwj has Given you^-asws, O Progeny^-asws of Yaseen^-saww, His^-azwj caliphate and flow of His^-azwj Commands!’’[4]

أقول: و ساق الدعاء إلى آخر ما مر ثم قال ره في المزار الكبير ذكر التوجه إلى الحجة صاحب الزمان صلوات الله عليه بالزيارة بعد صلاة اثنتي عشرة ركعة.

I say, ‘And he continued the supplication to the end of what has passed. Then he said in ‘Al-Mazar Al-Kabeer’, ‘The diverting is to the Divine authority, master of the time, may the Salawaat be upon him^-ajfj, with the Ziyarat after the Salat of twelve units’.

قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَشْنَاسَ وَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدَّعْجَلِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَبِيبٍ قَالَ عَرَّفَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ شَوْقِي إِلَى رُؤْيَةِ مَوْلَانَا ع فَقَالَ لِي مَعَ الشَّوْقِ تَشْتَهِي أَنْ تَرَاهُ

Abu Ali Al Hassan Bin Ashnas said, ‘And it is informed to us by Abu Muhammad Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Da’ajily who said, ‘We are informed by Abu Al Husayn Hamza Bin Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Bin Shabeeb who said, ‘Abu Abdullah Ahmad Bin Ibrahim introduced to us. He said,

‘I complained to Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Usman of my yearning to see our master^-ajfj. He said to me, ‘With the yearning you are desirous of seeing him^-ajfj?’

فَقُلْتُ لَهُ نَعَمْ

I said to him, ‘Yes’.

فَقَالَ لِي شَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ شَوْقَكَ وَ أَرَاكَ وَجْهَهُ فِي يُسْرٍ وَ عَافِيَةٍ لَا تَلْتَمِسْ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّ أَيَّامَ الْغَيْبَةِ تَشْتَاقُ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَا تَسْأَلِ الِاجْتِمَاعَ مَعَهُ إِنَّهَا عَزَائِمُ اللَّهِ وَ التَّسْلِيمُ لَهَا أَوْلَى وَ لَكِنْ تَوَجَّهْ إِلَيْهِ بِالزِّيَارَةِ

He said to me, ‘Thank Allah^-azwj there is for you your yearning, and may He^-azwj Show you his^-ajfj face in ease and well-being. O Abu Abdullah! Do not seek to see him^-asws, for the days of occultation are yearning for him^-ajfj, and do not ask for the gathering with him^-asws. It is (from the) Determinations of Allah^-azwj, and the submitting to these is foremost. But divert to him^-ajfj with the Ziyarat!’

وَ أَمَّا كَيْفَ يَعْمَلُ وَ مَا أَمْلَاهُ عِنْدَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ فَانْسَخُوهُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ وَ هُوَ التَّوَجُّهُ إِلَى الصَّاحِبِ بِالزِّيَارَةِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً تَقْرَأُ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فِي جَمِيعِهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ

And as for how to act and what was dictated to him in the presence of Muhammad Bin Ali, I have copied it from him, and it is the diverting to the master with the Ziyarat after the Salat of twelve units. You should read Surah Al Tawheed in all of the two units, two units.

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ تَقُولُ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ جَلَّ اسْمُهُ- سَلَامٌ عَلَى آلِ يَاسِينَ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِينُ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ‏ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ‏ إِمَامُهُ مَنْ يَهْدِيهِ صِرَاطَهُ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ وَ قَدْ آتَاكُمُ اللَّهُ خِلَافَتَهُ يَا آلَ يَاسِينَ وَ ذَكَرْنَا فِي الزِّيَارَةِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ.

Then send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and say the Words of Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Name: Greetings be on Progeny of Yaseen [37:130]. That is the manifest Grace from the Presence of Allah^-azwj, and Allah^-azwj is Possessor of the Magnificent Grace! His Imam^-ajfj is the one who guides him to the straight path, and Allah^-azwj has Given you^-asws all His^-azwj caliphate, O Progeny^-asws of Yaseen^-saww, and mention us in the Ziyarat, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon our chief Muhammad^-saww the Prophet^-saww, and his^-saww pure Progeny^-asws!’’[5]

ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى لَهُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ‏ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ بَعْدَهُمَا

Then the Seyyid, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, say, ‘There is another Ziyarat for him^-ajfj, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-ajfj – You should pray two units Salat and say after these,

سَلَامُ اللَّهِ الْكَامِلُ التَّامُّ الشَّامِلُ الْعَامُّ وَ صَلَوَاتُهُ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ الدَّائِمَةُ عَلَى حُجَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ وَلِيِّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ وَ بِلَادِهِ وَ خَلِيفَتِهِ فِي خَلْقِهِ وَ عِبَادِهِ وَ سُلَالَةِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ بَقِيَّةِ الْعِتْرَةِ وَ الصَّفْوَةِ صَاحِبِ الزَّمَانِ وَ مُظْهِرِ الْإِيمَانِ وَ مُعْلِنِ أَحْكَامِ الْقُرْآنِ وَ مُطَهِّرِ الْأَرْضِ وَ نَاشِرِ الْعَدْلِ فِي الطُّولِ وَ الْعَرْضِ وَ الْحُجَّةِ الْقَائِمِ الْمَهْدِيِّ الْإِمَامِ الْمُنْتَظَرِ الْمَرْضِيِّ الطَّاهِرِ ابْنِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْمَعْصُومِينَ

‘Greeting of Allah^-azwj, the perfect, the complete, the inclusive, the general, and His^-azwj Salawaat and His^-azwj constant Blessings be upon the Divine authority of Allah^-azwj, and His^-azwj guardian in His^-azwj earth, and His^-azwj lands, and His^-azwj caliph among His^-azwj creatures and His^-azwj servants, and offspring of the Prophet-hood, and remainder of the family, and the elite master of the time, and manifester of the Eman, and announcer of rulings of the Quran, and purifier of the earth, and the spreader of justice in the length and the breadth, and the Divine authority, the rising one, the guided Imam^-ajfj, the awaited, the pleasing, the pure son^-ajfj of the infallible Imams^-asws!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَارِثَ عِلْمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ مُسْتَوْدَعَ حُكْمِ الْوَصِيِّينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا عِصْمَةَ الدِّينِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مُعِزَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ‏ يَا مُذِلَّ الْكَافِرِينَ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ صَاحِبَ الزَّمَانِ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ فَاطِمَةَ الزَّهْرَاءِ سَيِّدَةِ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْحُجَجِ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ سَلَامَ مُخْلِصٍ لَكَ فِي الْوَلَاءِ

The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O son^-ajfj of Amir Al-Momineen^-asws! The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O son^-ajfj of (Syeda) Fatima Al-Zahra^-asws chieftess of women of the worlds!

The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O my master, a sincere greeting to you^-asws in the loyalty!

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ الْإِمَامُ الْمَهْدِيُّ قَوْلًا وَ فِعْلًا وَ أَنَّكَ الَّذِي تَمْلَأُ الْأَرْضَ قِسْطاً وَ عَدْلًا عَجَّلَ اللَّهُ فَرَجَكَ وَ سَهَّلَ مَخْرَجَكَ وَ قَرَّبَ زَمَانَكَ وَ كَثَّرَ أَنْصَارَكَ وَ أَعْوَانَكَ وَ أَنْجَزَ لَكَ وَعْدَكَ فَهُوَ أَصْدَقُ الْقَائِلِينَ‏ وَ نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ نَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً وَ نَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوارِثِينَ

I testify you^-ajfj are the Imam^-ajfj, the guided, in words and actions, and you^-ajfj are the one, who will fill the earth with fairness and justice! May Allah^-azwj Hasten your^-ajfj relief and Ease your^-ajfj emergence, and Draw your^-ajfj era closer, and Increase your^-ajfj helpers and your^-ajfj supporters, and Fulfil for you^-ajfj your^-ajfj Promise, for He^-azwj is most Truthful of the speakers: And We Intend to Confer upon those who were weakened in the land, and to Make them Imams, and Make them the inheritors [28:5]!

يَا مَوْلَايَ حَاجَتِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَاشْفَعْ لِي إِلَى رَبِّكَ فِي نَجَاحِهَا وَ ادْعُ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ وَ تَنْصَرِفُ وَ لَا تُحَوِّلْ وَجْهَكَ حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْبَابِ‏.

O my master! My need is such and such, so intercede for me to your^-ajfj Lord^-azwj regarding its success!’ – and supplicate with what you like and leave, and do not turn your face around until you have exited from the door’’.[6]

أقول: سيأتي سند هذه الزيارة في باب رقاع الحوائج و فيه أنه يقرأ في الركعة الأولى بعد الفاتحة سورة إنا فتحنا و في الثانية إذا جاء نصر الله.

I say, ‘I shall come with the chain of attribution of this Ziyarat in the chapter on petitions of needs, and in it is that it should be read in the first unit of Salat after Surah Al Fatiha, Surah Al Fat’h, and in the second Surah Al Nasr’.

زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى لَهُ ع قَدْ تَقَدَّمَ ذِكْرُ الِاسْتِئْذَانِ فِي أَوَّلِ زِيَارَتِهِ ع فَأَغْنَى ذَلِكَ عَنِ الْإِعَادَةِ فِي كُلِّ زِيَارَةٍ فَإِذَا دَخَلْتَ بَعْدَ الْإِذْنِ فَقُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا خَلِيفَةَ اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ وَ خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِهِ وَ آبَائِهِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْمَعْصُومِينَ الْمَهْدِيِّينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حَافِظَ أَسْرَارِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَارِثَ عِلْمِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا بَقِيَّةَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الصَّفْوَةِ الْمُنْتَجَبِينَ

Another Ziyarat for him^-ajfj. The mention of seeking permission has already been mentioned in the beginning of his^-ajfj first Ziyarat, so that suffices from the repetition in every Ziyarat – ‘When you enter after the permission, say, ‘The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O caliph of Allah^-azwj in His^-azwj earth, and caliph of His^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and his^-ajfj forefathers^-asws, the infallible Imams^-asws, the guided!

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَى مَنْ مَضَى وَ مَنْ بَقِيَ وَ أَنَّ حِزْبَكَ هُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ وَ أَوْلِيَاءَكَ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ وَ أَعْدَاءَكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ وَ أَنَّكَ حَائِزُ كُلِّ عِلْمٍ وَ فَاتِقُ كُلِّ رَتْقٍ وَ مُحَقِّقُ كُلِّ حَقٍّ وَ مُبْطِلُ كُلِّ بَاطِلٍ وَ سَابِقٌ لَا يُلْحَقُ

I testify you^-asws are the Divine authority upon the ones past and the ones remaining, and your^-asws party, they shall prevail, and your^-ajfj friends, they will succeed, and your^-ajfj enemies, they will incur loss, and you^-ajfj are the possessor of all knowledge, and splitter of all bonds, and the verifier of every right and invalidator of every falsehood, and the Preceder not to be overtaken!

رَضِيتُ بِكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ إِمَاماً وَ هَادِياً وَ وَلِيّاً وَ مُرْشِداً لَا أَبْتَغِي بِكَ بَدَلًا وَ لَا أَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُونِكَ وَلِيّاً وَ أَنَّكَ الْحَقُّ الثَّابِتُ الَّذِي لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ لَا أَرْتَابُ وَ لَا أَغْتَابُ لِأَمَدِ الْغَيْبَةِ وَ لَا أَتَحَيَّرُ لِطُولِ الْمُدَّةِ وَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ بِكَ حَقٌّ وَ نُصْرَتَهُ لِدِينِهِ بِكَ صِدْقٌ

I am pleased with you^-ajfj, O my master, as an Imam, and a guide, and a guardian, and a rightful director. I neither seek a replacement with you^-ajfj nor do I take a guardian other than you^-ajfj, and you^-ajfj are the affirmed truth, which there is no doubt in it nor suspicion, nor speak ill due to the extent of the occultation, nor am I confused due to the length of the period, and that the Promise of Allah^-azwj regarding you^-ajfj is true, and His^-azwj victory for His^-azwj religion through you^-ajfj is correct!

طُوبَى لِمَنْ سَعِدَ بِوَلَايَتِكَ وَ وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ شَقِيَ بِجُحُودِكَ وَ أَنْتَ الشَّافِعُ الْمُطَاعُ الَّذِي لَا يُدَافَعُ ذَخَرَكَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ لِنُصْرَةِ الدِّينِ وَ إِعْزَازِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الِانْتِقَامِ مِنَ الْجَاحِدِينَ الْأَعْمَالُ مَوْقُوفَةٌ عَلَى وَلَايَتِكَ وَ الْأَقْوَالُ مُعْتَبَرَةٌ بِإِمَامَتِكَ

Beatitude be for the one who is fortunate with your^-ajfj Wilayah, and woe be for the one who is wretched with rejecting you^-ajfj, and you^-ajfj are the obeyed intercessor who is not opposed. May Allah^-azwj the Glorious Preserve you^-ajfj for the support of religion, the honour of the Momineen, and the vengeance upon the deniers. Deeds are dependent upon your^-ajfj Wilayah, and words are validated by your^-ajfj leadership.

مَنْ جَاءَ بِوَلَايَتِكَ وَ اعْتَرَفَ بِإِمَامَتِكَ قُبِلَتْ أَعْمَالُهُ وَ صُدِّقَتْ أَقْوَالُهُ وَ تُضَاعَفُ لَهُ الْحَسَنَاتُ وَ تُمْحَى عَنْهُ السَّيِّئَاتُ وَ مَنْ زَلَّ عَنْ مَعْرِفَتِكَ وَ اسْتَبْدَلَ بِكَ غَيْرَكَ أَكَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْخِرَيْهِ فِي النَّارِ وَ لَمْ يَقْبَلْ لَهُ عَمَلًا وَ لَمْ يُقِمْ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَزْناً

Whoever comes with your^-ajfj Wilayah and acknowledges your^-ajfj leadership, his deeds are accepted, his words are believed, his good deeds are multiplied, and his sins are erased; and whoever strays from knowing you^-ajfj and replaces you^-ajfj with another, Allah^-azwj will Fling his face in the Fire, will not Accept any deed from him, nor Give him any weight on the Day nor will any of his deeds be recorded on the Day of Qiyamah (Resurrection).

أَشْهَدُ يَا مَوْلَايَ أَنَّ مَقَالِي ظَاهِرُهُ كَبَاطِنِهِ وَ سِرُّهُ كَعَلَانِيَتِهِ وَ أَنْتَ الشَّاهِدُ عَلَيَّ بِذَلِكَ وَ هُوَ عَهْدِي إِلَيْكَ وَ مِيثَاقِي الْمَعْهُودُ لَدَيْكَ إِذْ أَنْتَ نِظَامُ الدِّينِ وَ عِزُّ الْمُوَحِّدِينَ وَ يَعْسُوبُ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ بِذَلِكَ أَمَرَنِي فِيكَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

I testify, O my master, that my words, both their outward and inward meanings, are the same, and their secret is like their openness, and you^-ajfj are the witness over me in this. This is my covenant with you^-ajfj and my pledged bond before you^-ajfj, for you^-ajfj are the order of the religion, the honour of the monotheists, and the leader of the gnostic(s). With this, the Lord^-azwj of the worlds has Commanded me regarding you^-ajfj!

فَلَوْ تَطَاوَلَتِ الدُّهُورُ وَ تَمَادَتِ الْأَعْصَارُ لَمْ أَزْدَدْ بِكَ إِلَّا يَقِيناً وَ لَكَ إِلَّا حُبّاً وَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا اعْتِمَاداً وَ لِظُهُورِكَ إِلَّا تَوَقُّعاً وَ مُرَابَطَةً بِنَفْسِي وَ مَالِي وَ جَمِيعِ مَا أَنْعَمَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ رَبِّي فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ أَيَّامَكَ الزَّاهِرَةَ وَ أَعْلَامَكَ الظَّاهِرَةَ وَ دَوْلَتَكَ الْقَاهِرَةَ فَعَبْدٌ مِنْ عَبِيدِكَ مُعْتَرِفٌ بِحَقِّكَ مُتَصَرِّفٌ بَيْنَ أَمْرِكَ وَ نَهْيِكَ

Even if the ages grow long and the eras stretch on, I will only increase in certainty about you^-ajfj, in love for you^-ajfj, in reliance upon you^-ajfj, and in anticipation and readiness for your^-ajfj appearance with my soul, my wealth, and all that my Lord^-azwj has Bestowed me with. So, if I reach your^-ajfj radiant days, your^-ajfj manifest signs, and your^-ajfj prevailing state, then I am a servant among your^-ajfj servants, acknowledging your^-ajfj right, acting according to your^-ajfj commands and prohibitions.

أَرْجُو بِطَاعَتِكَ الشَّهَادَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ بِوَلَايَتِكَ السَّعَادَةَ فِيمَا لَدَيْكَ

I hope, through obedience to you^-ajfj, for martyrdom before you^-ajfj, and through your Wilayah, for happiness in what is with you^-ajfj!

وَ إِنْ أَدْرَكَنِيَ الْمَوْتُ قَبْلَ ظُهُورِكَ فَأَتَوَسَّلُ بِكَ إِلَى اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ لِي كَرَّةً فِي ظُهُورِكَ وَ رَجْعَةً فِي أَيَّامِكَ لِأَبْلُغَ مِنْ طَاعَتِكَ مُرَادِي وَ أَشْفِيَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ فُؤَادِي

And if death overtakes me before your appearance, then I seek through you^-ajfj a means to Allah^-azwj the Glorious to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Make a return to be for me during your^-ajfj appearance, and a returning during your^-ajfj days in order to reach my purpose of obeying you^-ajfj, and heal my fear from your^-ajfj enemies!

يَا مَوْلَايَ وَقَفْتُ فِي زِيَارَتِي إِيَّاكَ مَوْقِفَ الْخَاطِئِينَ الْمُسْتَغْفِرِينَ النَّادِمِينَ أَقُولُ عَمِلْتُ سُوءاً وَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَ عَلَى شَفَاعَتِكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ مُتَّكَلِي وَ مُعَوَّلِي وَ أَنْتَ رُكْنِي وَ ثِقَتِي وَ وَسِيلَتِي إِلَى رَبِّي وَ حَسْبِي بِكَ وَلِيّاً وَ مَوْلًى وَ شَفِيعاً

O my master! I have stood in your^-ajfj Ziyarat to you^-ajfj, the standing of the wrongdoer, the seeker of Forgiveness. I am saying, I have worked evil and have been unjust to myself, and upon your^-ajfj intercession, O my master, I rely and is my hope, and you^-ajfj are my basis (of everything), and my trust, and my means to my Lord^-azwj, and I suffice with you^-ajfj as a guardian and a master and an intercessor!

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانِي لِوَلَايَتِكَ وَ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَهْتَدِيَ لَوْ لَا أَنْ هَدَانِيَ اللَّهُ حَمْداً يَقْتَضِي ثَبَاتَ النِّعْمَةِ وَ شُكْراً يُوجِبُ الْمَزِيدَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ

And the Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Guided me to your^-ajfj Wilayah, and I would not have been guided if Allah^-azwj had not Guided me, Praise that secures the permanence of bounties, and gratitude that brings an increase from His^-azwj Grace!

وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ عَلَى آبَائِكَ مَوَالِيَّ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ وَ عَلَيَّ مِنْكُمُ السَّلَامُ

And the greeting be upon you^-ajfj O my master, and upon your^-ajfj forefathers^-asws my masters, the rightly guiding Imams^-asws, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings, and upon me be the greeting from you^-asws all!’

ثُمَّ صَلِّ صَلَاةَ الزِّيَارَةِ وَ قَدْ تَقَدَّمَ بَيَانُهَا فِي الزِّيَارَةِ الْأُولَى فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْهَا فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الْهَادِينَ الْمَهْدِيِّينَ الْعُلَمَاءِ الصَّادِقِينَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ الْمَرْضِيِّينَ دَعَائِمِ دِينِكَ وَ أَرْكَانِ تَوْحِيدِكَ وَ تَرَاجِمَةِ وَحْيِكَ وَ حُجَجِكَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ وَ خُلَفَائِكَ فِي أَرْضِكَ

Then pray the Salat of Ziyarat, and its explanation has already preceded in the first Ziyarat. When you are free from it, say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and People^-asws of his^-saww Household, the guides, the guided, the knowledgeable, the truthful, the successors, the pleasing pillars of Your^-azwj religion and cornerstones of Your^-azwj Oneness, and interpreters of Your^-azwj Revelation, and Your^-azwj Divine authorities upon Your^-azwj creatures, and Your^-azwj caliphs in Your^-azwj earth!

فَهُمُ الَّذِينَ اخْتَرْتَهُمْ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ اصْطَفَيْتَهُمْ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ وَ ارْتَضَيْتَهُمْ لِدِينِكَ وَ خَصَصْتَهُمْ بِمَعْرِفَتِكَ وَ جَلَّلْتَهُمْ بِكَرَامَتِكَ وَ غَذَّيْتَهُمْ بِحِكْمَتِكَ وَ غَشَّيْتَهُمْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ زَيَّنْتَهُمْ بِنِعْمَتِكَ وَ أَلْبَسْتَهُمْ مِنْ نُورِكَ وَ رَفَعْتَهُمْ فِي مَلَكُوتِكَ وَ حَفَفْتَهُمْ بِمَلَائِكَتِكَ وَ شَرَّفْتَهُمْ بِنَبِيِّكَ

They^-asws are those You^-azwj have Chosen for Yourself^-azwj and Selected them^-asws upon Your^-azwj servants, and Nominated them^-asws for Your^-azwj religion and Specialised them with recognising You^-azwj, and Made them^-asws majestic with Your^-azwj prestige, and Provided them^-asws with Your^-azwj Wisdom, and Overwhelmed them^-asws with Your^-azwj Mercy, and Adorned them^-asws with Your^-azwj bounties, and Clothed them from Your^-azwj Noor, and Raised them^-asws in Your^-azwj Domains, and Protected them^-asws through Your^-azwj Angels, and Ennobled them^-asws with Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَاةً زَاكِيَةً نَامِيَةً كَثِيرَةً طَيِّبَةً دَائِمَةً لَا يُحِيطُ بِهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَ لَا يَسَعُهَا إِلَّا عِلْمُكَ وَ لَا يُحْصِيهَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرُكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and upon them^-asws, Salawaat that is pure, developing, good, constant, no one can encompass these except You^-azwj nor be capacious with it except Your^-azwj Knowledge, nor can anyone count it apart from You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى وَلِيِّكَ الْمُحْيِي لِسُنَّتِكَ الْقَائِمِ بِأَمْرِكَ الدَّاعِي إِلَيْكَ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَيْكَ وَ حُجَّتِكَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ وَ خَلِيفَتِكَ فِي أَرْضِكَ وَ شَاهِدِكَ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Your^-azwj guardian, the reviver of Your^-azwj Sunnah, the one standing with Your^-azwj Commands, the caller to You^-azwj, the pointer to You^-azwj, and Your^-azwj Divine authority upon Your^-azwj creatures, and Your^-azwj caliph in Your^-azwj earth, and Your^-azwj witness upon Your^-azwj servants!

اللَّهُمَّ أَعِزَّ نَصْرَهُ وَ امْدُدْ فِي عُمُرِهِ وَ زَيِّنِ الْأَرْضَ بِطُولِ بَقَائِهِ

O Allah^-azwj! Strengthen his^-ajfj victory, and Extend in his^-ajfj lifespan, and Adorn the earth by the prolongation of his^-ajfj remaining!

اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِهِ بَغْيَ الْحَاسِدِينَ وَ أَعِذْهُ مِنْ شَرِّ الْكَائِدِينَ وَ ازْجُرْ عَنْهُ إِرَادَةَ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ خَلِّصْهُ مِنْ أَيْدِي الْجَبَّارِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Suffice him^-ajfj of the rebellion of the enviers, and Shelter him^-ajfj from evil of the plotters, and Repel from him^-ajfj intentions of the unjust ones, and Save him^-ajfj from hands of the tyrants!

اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِهِ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ وَ شِيعَتِهِ وَ رَعِيَّتِهِ وَ خَاصَّتِهِ وَ عَامَّتِهِ وَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا مَا تُقِرُّ بِهِ عَيْنَهُ وَ تَسُرُّ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ وَ بَلِّغْهُ أَفْضَلَ أَمَلِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ إِنَّكَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ ثُمَّ ادْعُ اللَّهَ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ‏.

O Allah^-azwj! Grant him^-ajfj regarding himself^-ajfj, and his^-ajfj offspring, and his^-ajfj Shias, and his^-ajfj citizens, and his^-ajfj special ones, and his^-ajfj general ones, and from entirety of people of the world, what his^-ajfj eyes would be delighted with, and his^-ajfj soul would be cheered with, and Make him^-ajfj reach the best of his^-ajfj wishes in the world and the Hereafter, You^-azwj are Able upon all things!’ – then supplication with whatever you like!’’[7]

زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى مُسْتَحْسَنَةٌ يُزَارُ بِهَا صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَامُهُ تَقُولُ‏ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْحَقِّ الْجَدِيدِ وَ الْعَالِمِ الَّذِي عِلْمُهُ لَا يَبِيدُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مُحْيِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ مُبِيرِ الْكَافِرِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَهْدِيِّ الْأُمَمِ وَ جَامِعِ الْكَلِمِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى خَلَفِ السَّلَفِ وَ صَاحِبِ الشَّرَفِ

The greeting upon the guided ones who Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Promised the communities with that he^-ajfj will unite the word, and smoother the crookedness through him^-ajfj, and fill the earth through him^-ajfj with fairness and justice, and Enable for him^-ajfj and Fulfil through him^-ajfj Promise of the Momineen!

أَشْهَدُ يَا مَوْلَايَ أَنَّكَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ آبَائِكَ أَئِمَّتِي وَ مَوَالِيَّ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْأَشْهَادُ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فِي صَلَاحِ شَأْنِي وَ قَضَاءِ حَوَائِجِي وَ غُفْرَانِ ذُنُوبِي وَ الْأَخْذِ بِيَدِي فِي دِينِي وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي لِي وَ لِإِخْوَانِي وَ أَخَوَاتِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ كَافَّةً إِنَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَرِّبْ بُعْدَهُ وَ أَنْجِزْ وَعْدَهُ وَ أَوْفِ عَهْدَهُ وَ اكْشِفْ عَنْ بَأْسِهِ حِجَابَ الْغَيْبَةِ وَ أَظْهِرْ بِظُهُورِهِ صَحَائِفَ الْمِحْنَةِ وَ قَدِّمْ أَمَامَهُ الرُّعْبَ وَ ثَبِّتْ بِهِ الْقَلْبَ وَ أَقِمْ بِهِ الْحَرْبَ وَ أَيِّدْهُ بِجُنْدٍ مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ مُسَوِّمِينَ‏ وَ سَلِّطْهُ عَلَى أَعْدَاءِ دِينِكَ أَجْمَعِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon him^-ajfj, and Bring his^-ajfj distance near, Fulfil his^-ajfj promise, uphold his^-ajfj covenant, lift from him^-ajfj the veil of occultation, and through his^-ajfj appearance, reveal the scrolls of trial. Send fear ahead of him^-ajfj, Strengthen hearts through him^-ajfj, Establish war by him^-ajfj, and support him^-ajfj with an army of marked Angels. Grant him^-ajfj authority over all the enemies of Your^-azwj religion!

وَ أَلْهِمْهُ أَنْ لَا يَدَعَ مِنْهُمْ رُكْناً إِلَّا هَدَّهُ وَ لَا هَاماً إِلَّا قَدَّهُ وَ لَا كَيْداً إِلَّا رَدَّهُ وَ لَا فَاسِقاً إِلَّا حَدَّهُ وَ لَا فِرْعَوْنَ إِلَّا أَهْلَكَهُ وَ لَا سِتْراً إِلَّا هَتَكَهُ وَ لَا عَلَماً إِلَّا نَكَّسَهُ وَ لَا سُلْطَاناً إِلَّا كَبَسَهُ وَ لَا رُمْحاً إِلَّا قَصَفَهُ وَ لَا مِطْرَداً إِلَّا خَرَقَهُ وَ لَا جُنْداً إِلَّا فَرَّقَهُ وَ لَا مِنْبَراً إِلَّا أَحْرَقَهُ

And inspire him^-ajfj not to leave any stronghold (of injustice) without destroying it, nor any (devious) leader without striking him down, nor any (evil) plot without defeating it, nor any transgressor without punishing him, nor any tyrant without destroying him, nor any veil without tearing it, nor any (satanic) banner without lowering it, nor any authority without overpowering it, nor any spear without breaking it, nor any arrow without piercing it, nor any army without scattering it, nor any pulpit without burning it!

وَ لَا سَيْفاً إِلَّا كَسَرَهُ وَ لَا صَنَماً إِلَّا رَضَّهُ وَ لَا دَماً إِلَّا أَرَاقَهُ وَ لَا جَوْراً إِلَّا أَبَادَهُ وَ لَا حِصْناً إِلَّا هَدَمَهُ وَ لَا بَاباً إِلَّا رَدَمَهُ وَ لَا قَصْراً إِلَّا أَخْرَبَهُ وَ لَا مَسْكَناً إِلَّا فَتَّشَهُ وَ لَا سَهْلًا إِلَّا أَوْطَنَهُ وَ لَا جَبَلًا إِلَّا صَعِدَهُ وَ لَا كَنْزاً إِلَّا أَخْرَجَهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏.

Nor any sword without shattering it, nor any idol without crushing it, nor any blood unjustly shed without spilling it in justice, nor any oppression without eliminating it, nor any fortress without demolishing it, nor any gate without sealing it, nor any palace without ruining it, nor any dwelling without searching it, nor any plain without settling it, nor any mountain without climbing it, nor any treasure without bringing it forth, by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[8]

زِيَارَةٌ أُخْرَى يُزَارُ بِهَا مَوْلَانَا صَاحِبُ الْأَمْرِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ‏ إِذَا زُرْتَ الْعَسْكَرِيَّيْنِ‏ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا فَأْتِ إِلَى السِّرْدَابِ وَ قِفْ مَاسِكاً جَانِبَ الْبَابِ كَالْمُسْتَأْذِنِ وَ سَمِّ وَ انْزِلْ وَ إليك [عَلَيْكَ‏] السَّكِينَةَ وَ الْوَقَارَ وَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي عَرْصَةِ السِّرْدَابِ وَ قُلِ

Another Ziyarat to visit by our master, Master of the Time, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-ajfj – ‘When you have visited ‘Al-Askariyeyn’ (10^th & 11^th Imam^-asws), may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon them^-asws, come to the basement and hold on to a side of the door like the one seeking permission, and Name (Bismillah) and descended, and upon you should be the calmness and the dignity, and pray two units Salat in the courtyard of the basement and say,

اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدانا لِهذا وَ عَرَّفَنَا أَوْلِيَاءَهُ وَ أَعْدَاءَهُ وَ وَفَّقَنَا لِزِيَارَةِ أَئِمَّتِنَا وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعَانِدِينَ النَّاصِبِينَ وَ لَا مِنَ الْغُلَاةِ الْمُفَوِّضِينَ وَ لَا مِنَ الْمُرْتَابِينَ الْمُقَصِّرِينَ

‘Allah^-azwj is Greatest! Allah^-azwj is Greatest! There is no god except Allah^-azwj, and Allah^-azwj is Greatest, and for Allah^-azwj is the Praise! The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Guided us to this and Introduced us to His^-azwj guardians and His^-azwj enemies and Harmonised us to visit our Imams^-asws and did not Make us from the obstinate ones, the hostile ones, nor from the exaggerators, the believers in delegated authority, nor from the doubtful ones, the derogators!

السَّلَامُ عَلَى وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ وَ ابْنِ أَوْلِيَائِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْمُدَّخَرِ لِكَرَامَةِ أَوْلِيَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ بَوَارِ أَعْدَائِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى النُّورِ الَّذِي أَرَادَ أَهْلُ الْكُفْرِ إِطْفَاءَهُ فَأَبَى اللَّهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ بِكُرْهِهِمْ وَ أَيَّدَهُ بِالْحَيَاةِ حَتَّى يُظْهِرَ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْحَقَّ بِرَغْمِهِمْ

The greeting be upon the guardian of Allah^-azwj and son^-ajfj of His^-azwj guardian! The greeting be upon the one stored for the prestige of friends of Allah^-azwj and ruination of His^-azwj enemies! The greeting be upon the Noor which the people of Kufr intended to extinguish, but Allah^-azwj Refused except that He^-azwj will Complete His^-azwj Noor despite their abhorrence, and Aided him^-ajfj with the life until the truth is revealed upon his^-ajfj hands, by rubbing their noses!

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَاكَ صَغِيراً وَ أَكْمَلَ لَكَ عُلُومَهُ كَبِيراً وَ أَنَّكَ حَيٌّ لَا تَمُوتُ حَتَّى تُبْطِلَ الْجِبْتَ وَ الطَّاغُوتَ

I testify that Allah^-azwj Chose you^-ajfj when young, and Completed for you^-ajfj His^-azwj Knowledge when older, and you^-ajfj are alive, not dying until you^-ajfj invalidate the false gods and the tyrants!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى خُدَّامِهِ وَ أَعْوَانِهِ عَلَى غَيْبَتِهِ وَ نَأْيِهِ وَ اسْتُرْهُ سَتْراً عَزِيزاً وَ اجْعَلْ لَهُ مَعْقِلًا حَرِيزاً وَ اشْدُدِ اللَّهُمَّ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُعَانِدِيهِ وَ احْرُسْ مَوَالِيَهُ وَ زَائِرِيهِ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon him^-ajfj and upon his^-ajfj attendants and his^-ajfj supporters during his^-ajfj occultation and concealment, and Conceal him with a mighty concealment and Make for him^-ajfj a fortified protection, and O Allah^-azwj, Intensify Your^-azwj Punishment upon his^-ajfj enemies and Guard his^-ajfj friends and his^-ajfj visitors!

اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا جَعَلْتَ قَلْبِي بِذِكْرِهِ مَعْمُوراً فَاجْعَلْ سِلَاحِي بِنُصْرَتِهِ مَشْهُوراً وَ إِنْ حَالَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ لِقَائِهِ الْمَوْتُ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ حَتْماً وَ أَقْدَرْتَ بِهِ عَلَى خَلِيقَتِكَ رَغْماً فَابْعَثْنِي عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِ ظَاهِراً مِنْ حُفْرَتِي مُؤْتَزِراً كَفَنِي حَتَّى أُجَاهِدَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فِي الصَّفِّ الَّذِي أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ فِي كِتَابِكَ فَقُلْتَ‏ كَأَنَّهُمْ بُنْيانٌ مَرْصُوصٌ‏

O Allah^-azwj! Just as You^-azwj have Made my heart with his^-ajfj remembrance, Make my weapon renowned in his^-ajfj support, and if death, which You^-azwj have Decreed as inevitable for Your^-azwj servants and through which You^-azwj have enforced Your^-azwj will upon Your^-azwj creation, comes between me and meeting him^-ajfj, then Raise me at the time of his appearance, emerging from my grave, wrapped in my shroud, so I may fight before him^-ajfj in the ranks You^-azwj Praised in Your^-azwj Book when You^-azwj Said: as if they were like a solid structure [61:4]!

اللَّهُمَّ طَالَ الِانْتِظَارُ وَ شَمِتَ بِنَا الْفُجَّارُ وَ صَعُبَ عَلَيْنَا الِانْتِصَارُ اللَّهُمَّ أَرِنَا وَجْهَ وَلِيِّكَ الْمَيْمُونِ فِي حَيَاتِنَا وَ بَعْدَ الْمَنُونِ

O Allah^-azwj! The wait has prolonged, and the immoral ones have gloated upon us, and the victory is difficult upon us! O Allah^-azwj! Show us the face of Your^-azwj auspicious guardian during our lives and after our deaths!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَدِينُ لَكَ بِالرَّجْعَةِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ صَاحِبِ هَذِهِ الْبُقْعَةِ الْغَوْثَ الْغَوْثَ الْغَوْثَ يَا صَاحِبَ الزَّمَانِ قَطَعْتُ فِي وُصْلَتِكَ الْخُلَّانَ وَ هَجَرْتُ لِزِيَارَتِكَ الْأَوْطَانَ وَ أَخْفَيْتُ أَمْرِي عَنْ أَهْلِ الْبُلْدَانِ لِتَكُونَ شَفِيعاً عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ وَ رَبِّي وَ إِلَى آبَائِكَ وَ مَوَالِيَّ فِي حُسْنِ التَّوْفِيقِ لِي وَ إِسْبَاغِ النِّعْمَةِ عَلَيَّ وَ سَوْقِ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَيَّ

O Allah^-azwj! I profess to You^-azwj belief in the Return before the Master of this sacred place. Help, help, help, O Master of the Time, for the sake of Your closeness, I have severed ties with friends, left behind my homeland to visit You^-azwj, and concealed my matter from the people of the lands, so that You^-azwj may intercede for me with your^-azwj Lord and mine, and with your^-azwj forefathers as my guides, for success in guidance, the perfection of bounties upon me, and the continued bestowal of favours toward me!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَصْحَابِ الْحَقِّ وَ قَادَةِ الْخَلْقِ وَ اسْتَجِبْ مِنِّي مَا دَعَوْتُكَ وَ أَعْطِنِي مَا لَمْ أَنْطِقْ بِهِ فِي دُعَائِي مِنْ صَلَاحِ دِينِي وَ دُنْيَايَ إِنَّكَ‏ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad, the companions of truth, and the leaders of people, and Respond to me what I am supplicating to You^-azwj, and Grant me what I have not spoken with in my supplication of the Rectifying of my religion and my world, You^-azwj are Praised, Glorified, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww pure Progeny^-asws!’

ثُمَّ ادْخُلِ الصُّفَةَ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ عَبْدُكَ الزَّائِرُ فِي فِنَاءِ وَلِيِّكَ الْمَزُورِ الَّذِي فَرَضْتَ طَاعَتَهُ عَلَى الْعَبِيدِ وَ الْأَحْرَارِ وَ أَنْقَذْتَ بِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ

Then enter the chamber and pray two units Salat and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! The visitor is in the courtyard of Your^-azwj visited guardian who, You^-azwj have Obligated upon the slaves and free ones to be obedient to, and Save Your^-azwj guardians with from Punishment of the Fire!

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا زِيَارَةً مَقْبُولَةً ذَاتَ دُعَاءٍ مُسْتَجَابٍ مِنْ مُصَدِّقٍ بِوَلِيِّكَ غَيْرِ مُرْتَابٍ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ بِهِ وَ لَا بِزِيَارَتِهِ وَ لَا تَقْطَعْ أَثَرِي مِنْ مَشْهَدِهِ وَ زِيَارَةِ أَبِيهِ وَ جَدِّهِ اللَّهُمَّ أَخْلِفْ عَلَيَّ نَفَقَتِي وَ انْفَعْنِي بِمَا رَزَقْتَنِي فِي دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي لِي وَ لِإِخْوَانِي وَ أَبَوَيَّ وَ جَمِيعِ عِتْرَتِي

O Allah^-azwj! Make is an accepted Ziyarat with an Answered supplication from a ratifier of Your^-azwj guardian without doubt! O Allah^-azwj! Replace upon me my expenditure and Benefit me with what You^-azwj have Provided to me in my world and my Hereafter and to my brethren and my parents and the entirety of my family!

أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ اللَّهَ أَيُّهَا الْإِمَامُ الَّذِي تَفُوزُ بِهِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَ يَهْلِكُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ الْكَافِرُونَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا ابْنَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ جِئْتُكَ زَائِراً لَكَ وَ لِأَبِيكَ وَ جَدِّكَ مُتَيَقِّناً الْفَوْزَ بِكُمْ مُعْتَقِداً إِمَامَتَكُمْ

I entrust you^-ajfj to Allah^-azwj, O the Imam^-ajfj who the Momineen will be successful with and the Kafirs, the beliers will be destroyed upon his^-ajfj hands! O my master, O son^-ajfj of Al-Hassan^-asws Bin Ali^-asws! I have come to you^-ajfj as a visitor to you^-ajfj and to your^-ajfj father^-asws and your^-ajfj grandfather^-asws convinced of the success through you^-asws all, believing in your^-ajfj Imamate!

اللَّهُمَّ اكْتُبْ هَذِهِ الشَّهَادَةَ وَ الزِّيَارَةَ لِي عِنْدَكَ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ وَ بَلِّغْنِي بَلَاغَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ انْفَعْنِي بِحُبِّهِمْ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ‏.

O Allah^-azwj! Write this testimony and the Ziyarat of mine in Your^-azwj Presence in Illiyeen, and Make me reach the extent of the righteous ones, and benefit me with their^-ajfj love, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds!’’[9]

ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ذَكَرَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ نَقَلْتُ مِنْ كِتَابِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ الْبَزَوْفَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ دُعَاءَ النُّدْبَةِ وَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ الدُّعَاءُ لِصَاحِبِ الزَّمَانِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى بِهِ فِي الْأَعْيَادِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ وَ هُوَ

Then the Seyyid, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, said, ‘One of our companions mentioned, he said, ‘Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Abu Qurrah said, ‘I copied from the book of Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Bin Sufyan Al-Bazufari, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him ‘Dual Al-Nudba’, and he mentioned that it is the supplication of Master of the Time, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-ajfj, and it is Answered if supplicated with during the four Eids, and it is: –

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ‏ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً

‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the worlds, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon our chief Muhammad^-saww His^-azwj Prophet^-saww, and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and abundant Greetings!

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا جَرَى بِهِ قَضَاؤُكَ فِي أَوْلِيَائِكَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَخْلَصْتَهُمْ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ دِينِكَ إِذِ اخْتَرْتَ لَهُمْ جَزِيلَ مَا عِنْدَكَ مِنَ النَّعِيمِ الْمُقِيمِ الَّذِي لَا زَوَالَ لَهُ وَ لَا اضْمِحْلَالَ

O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise upon what Your^-azwj Decrees flow with in Your^-azwj guardians, those You^-azwj have Extracted them^-asws for Yourself^-azwj and Your^-azwj religion when You^-azwj Chose for them^-asws the abundance of what is in Your^-azwj Presence of the ever-lasting bounties which there is neither any decline for it nor fading!

بَعْدَ أَنْ شَرَطْتَ عَلَيْهِمُ الزُّهْدَ فِي دَرَجَاتِ هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا الدَّنِيَّةِ وَ زُخْرُفِهَا وَ زِبْرِجِهَا فَشَرَطُوا لَكَ ذَلِكَ وَ عَلِمْتَ مِنْهُمُ الْوَفَاءَ بِهِ فَقَبِلْتَهُمْ وَ قَرَّبْتَهُمْ وَ قَدَّمْتَ لَهُمُ الذِّكْرَ الْعَلِيَّ وَ الثَّنَاءَ الْجَلِيَّ وَ أَهْبَطْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَلَائِكَتَكَ وَ كَرَّمْتَهُمْ بِوَحْيِكَ وَ رَفَدْتَهُمْ‏ بِعِلْمِكَ وَ جَعَلْتَهُمُ الذَّرَائِعَ إِلَيْكَ وَ الْوَسِيلَةَ إِلَى رِضْوَانِكَ

After You^-azwj has Stipulated a condition of asceticism upon them^-asws regarding the ranks of this lowly world and its adornments and glitter. They^-asws accepted that condition for Your^-azwj Sake and You^-azwj Knew from them^-asws of their^-asws loyalty with it! You^-azwj Accepted them and Drew them^-asws closer and Advance to them^-asws the exalted Zikr and the majestic laudation, and Sent down Your^-azwj Angels and Honoured them with Your^-azwj Revelation, and Supported them with Your^-azwj Knowledge and Made them^-asws the means to You^-azwj and the means to Your^-azwj Pleasure!

فَبَعْضٌ أَسْكَنْتَهُ جَنَّتَكَ إِلَى أَنْ أَخْرَجْتَهُ مِنْهَا وَ بَعْضُهُمْ حَمَلْتَهُ فِي فُلْكِكَ وَ نَجَّيْتَهُ مَعَ مَنْ آمَنَ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْهَلَكَةِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ

So, among them was one whom You^-azwj Placed in Your^-azwj Paradise until You^-azwj Removed him^-as from it; and among them was one whom You^-azwj Carried in Your^-azwj ark and saved him^-as, along with those who believed with him^-as saved them from destruction by Your^-azwj Mercy.

وَ بَعْضٌ اتَّخَذْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ خَلِيلًا وَ سَأَلَكَ لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَأَجَبْتَهُ وَ جَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيّاً وَ بَعْضٌ كَلَّمْتَهُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ تَكْلِيماً وَ جَعَلْتَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ رِدْءاً وَ وَزِيراً وَ بَعْضٌ أَوْلَدْتَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَبٍ وَ آتَيْتَهُ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَ أَيَّدْتَهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ

And among them was one whom You^-azwj Took as a close friend for Yourself^-azwj, and he^-as asked You^-azwj for a truthful reputation in the Hereafter, so You^-azwj Answered him^-as and Made that lofty status for him^-as. And among them was one to whom You^-azwj Spoke directly from the tree, and You^-azwj Made for him^-as, from his^-as brother, a support and minister; and among them was one whom You^-azwj Caused to be born without a father, and You^-azwj Gave him^-as clear signs and Supported him^-as with the Holy Spirit.

وَ كُلٌّ شَرَعْتَ لَهُ شَرِيعَةً وَ نَهَجْتَ لَهُ مِنْهَاجاً وَ تَخَيَّرْتَ لَهُ أَوْصِيَاءَ مُسْتَحْفِظاً بَعْدَ مُسْتَحْفِظٍ مِنْ مُدَّةٍ إِلَى مُدَّةٍ إِقَامَةً لِدِينِكَ وَ حُجَّةً عَلَى عِبَادِكَ وَ لِئَلَّا يَزُولَ الْحَقُّ عَنْ مَقَرِّهِ وَ يَغْلِبَ الْبَاطِلُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ لِئَلَّا يَقُولَ أَحَدٌ لَوْ لا أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنا رَسُولًا مُنْذِراً وَ أَقَمْتَ لَنَا عَلَماً هَادِياً فَنَتَّبِعَ آياتِكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ نَذِلَّ وَ نَخْزى‏

And for each of them, You^-azwj Legislated a law and Set for him a clear path, and You^-azwj Selected for him successors, one after another, as guardians, one following another from period to period, to uphold Your^-azwj religion and to be a Divine authority upon Your^-azwj servants, so that truth would not vanish from its place, nor falsehood prevail over its people, and so that no one could say, If only You had Sent a Rasool to us, then we would have followed your Signs from before we were disgraced and shamed’ [20:134]!

إِلَى أَنِ انْتَهَيْتَ بِالْأَمْرِ إِلَى حَبِيبِكَ وَ نَجِيبِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَكَانَ كَمَا انْتَجَبْتَهُ سَيِّدَ مَنْ خَلَقْتَهُ وَ صَفْوَةَ مَنِ اصْطَفَيْتَهُ وَ أَفْضَلَ مَنِ اجْتَبَيْتَهُ وَ أَكْرَمَ مَنِ اعْتَمَدْتَهُ

Until You^-azwj Ended the matter with Your^-azwj Beloved and Chosen one, Muhammad^-saww. He^-saww was just as You^-azwj had Selected him^-saww as the master of those You^-azwj Created, the purest of those You^-azwj Chose, the most virtuous of those You^-azwj Selected, and the most Honoured of those You^-azwj Entrusted.

قَدَّمْتَهُ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ بَعَثْتَهُ إِلَى الثَّقَلَيْنِ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ وَ أَوْطَأْتَهُ مَشَارِقَكَ وَ مَغَارِبَكَ وَ سَخَّرْتَ لَهُ الْبُرَاقَ وَ عَرَجْتَ بِرُوحِهِ إِلَى سَمَائِكَ وَ أَوْدَعْتَهُ عِلْمَ مَا كَانَ وَ مَا يَكُونُ إِلَى انْقِضَاءِ خَلْقِكَ

You^-azwj placed him^-saww above all Your^-azwj Prophets^-as and Sent him^-saww to both the Jinn and humans among Your^-azwj servants. You^-azwj Made the east and west of Your^-azwj lands accessible to him^-saww, Subjected the ‘Buraq’ to him^-saww, Raised his^-saww soul to Your^-azwj Paradise, and Entrusted him^-saww with the knowledge of all that was and all that will be until the end of Your^-azwj creation!

ثُمَّ نَصَرْتَهُ بِالرُّعْبِ وَ حَفَفْتَهُ بِجَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ وَ الْمُسَوِّمِينَ مِنْ مَلَائِكَتِكَ وَ وَعَدْتَهُ أَنْ تُظْهِرَ دِينَهُ‏ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ‏ وَ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ بَوَّأْتَهُ مُبَوَّأَ صِدْقٍ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَ جَعَلْتَ لَهُ وَ لَهُمْ‏ أَوَّلَ بَيْتٍ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِي بِبَكَّةَ مُبارَكاً وَ هُدىً لِلْعالَمِينَ فِيهِ آياتٌ بَيِّناتٌ مَقامُ إِبْراهِيمَ وَ مَنْ دَخَلَهُ كانَ آمِناً

Then, You^-azwj Helped him^-saww with the awe and Surrounded him^-saww with Jibraeel^-as and Mikaeel^-as and the marked ones from Your^-azwj Angels, and Promised him^-asws that his^-saww religion shall prevail upon all of the religion and even if the Polytheists are averse to it, and that is after You^-azwj Resided him^-saww is a true residence from his^-saww family, and Make for him^-saww and for them^-asws, Surely, the first House Placed for the people is the one at Bakka, Blessed, and a Guidance for the worlds [3:96] In it are clear Signs, the standing place of Ibrahim; and the one who enters it would be secure. [3:97]!

وَ قُلْتَ‏ إِنَّما يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ يُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيراً

And You^-azwj Said: But rather, Allah Intends to Keep the uncleanness away from you, People of the Household, and Purify you (with) a Purification [33:33]!

ثُمَّ جَعَلْتَ أَجْرَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ مَوَدَّتَهُمْ فِي كِتَابِكَ فَقُلْتَ‏ لا أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبى‏

Then You^-azwj Made the Recompense of Muhammad^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws be their^-asws cordiality in Your^-azwj Book, so You^-azwj Said: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives’ [42:23]!

وَ قُلْتَ‏ ما سَأَلْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَجْرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ‏ وَ قُلْتَ‏ ما أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِلَّا مَنْ شاءَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ إِلى‏ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا

And You^-azwj Said: Say: ‘Whatever recompense I ask you for, so it is for yourselves. [34:47]; and You^-azwj Said: Say: ‘I do not ask you for any recompense over it except one who so desires to should take a way to his Lord [25:57]!

فَكَانُوا هُمُ السَّبِيلَ إِلَيْكَ وَ الْمَسْلَكَ إِلَى رِضْوَانِكَ‏ فَلَمَّا انْقَضَتْ أَيَّامُهُ أَقَامَ وَلِيَّهُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا وَ عَلَى آلِهِمَا هَادِياً إِذْ كَانَ هُوَ الْمُنْذِرَ وَ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هادٍ

Thus, they^-asws were the way to You^-azwj and the path to Your^-azwj Pleasure. When his^-saww days terminated, he^-saww nominated his^-saww guardian Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon them^-asws, and upon their^-asws Progeny^-asws as guides, when he^-saww was a Warner, and for every people there is a Guide [13:7]!

فَقَالَ وَ الْمَلَأُ أَمَامَهُ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالاهُ وَ عَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ وَ انْصُرْ مَنْ نَصَرَهُ وَ اخْذُلْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُ

He^-saww said while the assembly was in front of him^-saww: ‘One whose master I^-saww was, so Ali^-asws is his master! O Allah^-azwj! Befriend the one befriending him^-asws, and Be Inimical to the one inimical to him^-asws, and Help the one helping him^-asws and Abandon the one abandoning him^-asws!’

وَ قَالَ مَنْ كُنْتُ نَبِيَّهُ فَعَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُهُ وَ قَالَ أَنَا وَ عَلِيٌّ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَ سَائِرُ النَّاسِ مِنْ شَجَرٍ شَتَّى

And he^-saww said: ‘One whose Prophet^-saww I^-saww was, so Ali^-asws is his Emir!’, and said: ‘I^-saww and Ali^-asws are from one tree (lineage) while the rest of the people are from various trees (ancestry)!’

وَ أَحَلَّهُ مَحَلَّ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى فَقَالَ أَنْتَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي

And he^-saww placed him^-asws in the place of Haroun^-as from Musa^-as, so he^-saww said: ‘You^-asws are from me^-saww at the status of Haroun^-as from Musa^-as except there is no Prophet^-as after me^-saww!’

وَ زَوَّجَهُ ابْنَتَهُ سَيِّدَةَ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ أَحَلَّ لَهُ مِنْ مَسْجِدِهِ مَا حَلَّ لَهُ وَ سَدَّ الْأَبْوَابَ إِلَّا بَابَهُ

And he^-saww married him^-asws to his^-saww daughter^-asws, chieftess of women of the worlds and legalised for him^-asws from his^-saww Masjid what he^-asws legalised for him^-saww, and blocked the doors except his^-asws door.

ثُمَّ أَوْدَعَهُ عِلْمَهُ وَ حِكْمَتَهُ فَقَالَ أَنَا مَدِينَةُ الْعِلْمِ وَ عَلِيٌّ بَابُهَا فَمَنْ أَرَادَ الْحِكْمَةَ فَلْيَأْتِهَا مِنْ بَابِهَا

Then, he^-saww entrusted him^-asws with his^-saww knowledge and his^-saww wisdom, so he^-saww said: ‘I^-saww am the city of knowledge and Ali^-asws is its door. The one who wants the wisdom, let him come to it from its door!’

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَنْتَ أَخِي وَ وَصِيِّي وَ وَارِثِي لَحْمُكَ لَحْمِي وَ دَمُكَ دَمِي وَ سِلْمُكَ سِلْمِي وَ حَرْبُكَ حَرْبِي وَ الْإِيمَانُ مُخَالِطٌ لَحْمَكَ وَ دَمَكَ كَمَا خَالَطَ لَحْمِي وَ دَمِي وَ أَنْتَ غَداً عَلَى الْحَوْضِ خَلِيفَتِي وَ أَنْتَ تَقْضِي دَيْنِي وَ تُنْجِزُ عِدَاتِي

Then he^-saww said: ‘You^-asws are my^-saww brother, and my^-saww successor, and my^-saww inheritor. Your^-asws flesh is my^-saww flesh, and your^-asws blood is my^-saww blood, and your^-asws peace is my^-saww peace and your^-asws was is my^-saww war, and the Eman is mixed with your^-asws flesh and blood just as my^-saww flesh and blood, and tomorrow you^-asws will be at the fountain as my^-saww caliph, and you^-asws will pay off my^-saww debts and my^-saww promises!

وَ شِيعَتُكَ عَلَى مَنَابِرَ مِنْ نُورٍ مُبْيَضَّةً وُجُوهُهُمْ حَوْلِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ هُمْ جِيرَانِي وَ لَوْ لَا أَنْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ لَمْ يُعْرَفِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ بَعْدِي

And your^-asws Shias will be upon the pulpits of light, bright will be their faces around me^-saww in the Paradise, and they will be my^-saww neighbours, and had it not been for you^-asws, O Ali^-asws, the Momineen will not be recognised after me^-saww!’

وَ كَانَ بَعْدَهُ هُدًى مِنَ الضَّلَالِ وَ نُوراً مِنَ الْعَمَى وَ حَبْلَ اللَّهِ الْمَتِينَ وَ صِرَاطَهُ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ لَا يُسْبَقُ بِقَرَابَةٍ فِي رَحِمٍ وَ لَا بِسَابِقَةٍ فِي دِينٍ وَ لَا يُلْحَقُ فِي مَنْقَبَةٍ يَحْذُو حَذْوَ الرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا وَ آلِهِمَا

And after him^-saww, he^-asws was a guide from the straying, and light from the blindness, and the unbreakable rope of Allah^-azwj, and His^-azwj Straight Path! He^-asws was not preceded in nearness regarding kinship nor with precedence in religion, nor joined with any merit in following the example of the Rasool^-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon them^-asws and their^-asws Progeny!

وَ يُقَاتِلُ عَلَى التَّأْوِيلِ وَ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ قَدْ وَتَرَ فِيهِ صَنَادِيدَ الْعَرَبِ وَ قَتَلَ أَبْطَالَهُمْ وَ نَاهَشَ ذُؤْبَانَهُمْ فَأَوْدَعَ قُلُوبَهُمْ أَحْقَاداً بَدْرِيَّةً وَ خَيْبَرِيَّةً وَ حُنَيْنِيَّةً وَ غَيْرَهُنَّ فَأَضَبَّتْ عَلَى عَدَاوَتِهِ وَ أَكَبَّتْ عَلَى مُنَابَذَتِهِ حَتَّى قَتَلَ النَّاكِثِينَ وَ الْقَاسِطِينَ وَ الْمَارِقِينَ

And he^-asws fought upon the interpretation and did not take the blame of any blamer for the Sake of Allah^-azwj. He^-asws took vengeance upon the chiefs of the Arabs, killed their champions, and tore apart their fierce warriors. Thus, he^-asws planted in their hearts the grudges of (battles of) Badr, Khaybar, Hunayn, and others. So they clung to enmity against him^-asws and persisted in opposing him^-asws until he^-asws killed the allegiance breakers, the renegades, and the deviators!

وَ لَمَّا قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَ قَتَلَهُ أَشْقَى الْآخِرِينَ يَتْبَعُ أَشْقَى الْأَوَّلِينَ لَمْ يُمْتَثَلْ أَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْهَادِينَ بَعْدَ الْهَادِينَ وَ الْأُمَّةُ مُصِرَّةٌ عَلَى مَقْتِهِ مُجْتَمِعَةٌ عَلَى قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمِهِ وَ إِقْصَاءِ وُلْدِهِ إِلَّا الْقَلِيلَ مِمَّنْ وَفَى لِرِعَايَةِ الْحَقِّ فِيهِمْ

And when his^-asws term had expired and was killed by the most wretched of the later ones, who followed the most wretched of the former ones, the order of Rasool-Allah^-saww regarding the guide after the guide was not carried out and the community was persistent upon hating him^-asws united upon cutting off his^-asws kinship and excluding his^-asws children, except a few who remained loyal in upholding the truth concerning them^-asws.

فَقُتِلَ مَنْ قُتِلَ وَ سُبِيَ مَنْ سُبِيَ وَ أُقْصِيَ مَنْ أُقْصِيَ وَ جَرَى الْقَضَاءُ لَهُمْ بِمَا يُرْجَى لَهُ حُسْنُ الْمَثُوبَةِ وَ كَانَتِ الْأَرْضُ‏ لِلَّهِ يُورِثُها مَنْ يَشاءُ مِنْ عِبادِهِ وَ الْعاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ‏ وَ سُبْحانَ رَبِّنا إِنْ كانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنا لَمَفْعُولًا وَ لَنْ يُخْلِفَ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ‏ وَ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ‏

So those who were killed were killed, those who were taken captive were taken captive, and those who were cast out were cast out, and the Divine Decree ran its course for them in a manner that gives hope for a good and noble Reward, and Surely the earth is for Allah, He Causes it to be inherited by the one He so Desires to from His servants, and the end-result is for the pious [7:128], and Glorious is our Lord! Surely His Promise would always be Fulfilled [17:108] and Allah will never Break His Promise, [22:47] and He is the Mighty, the Wise [14:4]!

فَعَلَى الْأَطَائِبِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا وَ آلِهِمَا فَلْيَبْكِ الْبَاكُونَ وَ إِيَّاهُمْ فَلْيَنْدُبِ النَّادِبُونَ وَ لِمِثْلِهِمْ فَلْتَدُرَّ الدُّمُوعُ وَ لْيَصْرُخِ الصَّارِخُونَ وَ يَعِجَّ الْعَاجُّونَ

So, upon the good ones from People^-asws of the Household of Muhammad^-saww and Ali^-asws, may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon them^-asws and their^-asws Progeny^-asws, the crying ones cry, and the lamenting ones lament, and for the likes of them^-asws let the tears flow, and lest the shrieking ones shriek, and the clamouring ones clamour!

أَيْنَ الْحَسَنُ أَيْنَ الْحُسَيْنُ أَيْنَ أَبْنَاءُ الْحُسَيْنِ صَالِحٌ بَعْدَ صَالِحٍ وَ صَادِقٌ بَعْدَ صَادِقٍ أَيْنَ السَّبِيلُ بَعْدَ السَّبِيلِ أَيْنَ الْخِيَرَةُ بَعْدَ الْخِيَرَةِ أَيْنَ الشُّمُوسُ الطَّالِعَةُ أَيْنَ الْأَقْمَارُ الْمُنِيرَةُ أَيْنَ الْأَنْجُمُ الزَّاهِرَةُ أَيْنَ أَعْلَامُ الدِّينِ وَ قَوَاعِدُ الْعِلْمِ

Where is Al-Hassan^-asws? Where is Al-Husayn^-asws? Where are the sons^-asws of Al-Husayn^-asws? Righteous one after a righteous one, and a truthful one after a truthful one! Where is the way after the way? Where is the best one after the best one? When are the emerging suns? Where are the radiant moons? Where are the shining stars? Where are the flags of religion and foundations of knowledge?

أَيْنَ بَقِيَّةُ اللَّهِ الَّتِي لَا تَخْلُو مِنَ الْعِتْرَةِ الْهَادِيَةِ أَيْنَ الْمُعَدُّ لِقَطْعِ دَابِرِ الظَّلَمَةِ أَيْنَ الْمُنْتَظَرُ لِإِقَامَةِ الْأَمْتِ وَ الْعِوَجِ أَيْنَ الْمُرْتَجَى لِإِزَالَةِ الْجَوْرِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ أَيْنَ الْمُدَّخَرُ لِتَجْدِيدِ الْفَرَائِضِ وَ السُّنَنِ أَيْنَ الْمُتَخَيَّرُ لِإِعَادَةِ الْمِلَّةِ وَ الشَّرِيعَةِ

Where is the remainder of Allah^-azwj who is not absent from the guiding family? Where is the one prepared to cut off the tails of the oppressors? Where is the one awaited for straightening the nation and crookedness? Where is the one hoped for removal of the tyranny and the aggression? Where is the one preserved for renewal of the obligations and the Sunnah? Where is the one Chosen for the restoration of the nation and the law?

أَيْنَ الْمُؤَمَّلُ لِإِحْيَاءِ الْكِتَابِ وَ حُدُودِهِ أَيْنَ مُحْيِي مَعَالِمِ الدِّينِ وَ أَهْلِهِ أَيْنَ قَاصِمُ شَوْكَةِ الْمُعْتَدِينَ أَيْنَ هَادِمُ أَبْنِيَةِ الشِّرْكِ وَ النِّفَاقِ أَيْنَ مُبِيدُ أَهْلِ الْفُسُوقِ وَ الْعِصْيَانِ وَ الطُّغْيَانِ أَيْنَ حَاصِدُ فُرُوعِ الْغَيِّ وَ النِّفَاقِ أَيْنَ طَامِسُ آثَارِ الزَّيْغِ وَ الْأَهْوَاءِ

Where is the one hoped for to revive the Book and its limits? Where is the reviver of the teachings of religion and its people? Where is the breaker of the thorn (sharpness) of the transgressors? Where is demolisher of the structures of polytheism and hypocrisy? Where is the exterminator of the corruption and the disobedience and the despotism? Where is the uprooter of the branches of deviation and hypocrisy?

أَيْنَ قَاطِعُ حَبَائِلِ الْكَذِبِ وَ الِافْتِرَاءِ أَيْنَ مُبِيدُ الْعُتَاةِ وَ الْمَرَدَةِ أَيْنَ مُسْتَأْصِلُ أَهْلِ الْعِنَادِ وَ التَّظْلِيلِ وَ الْإِلْحَادِ أَيْنَ مُعِزُّ الْأَوْلِيَاءِ وَ مُذِلُّ الْأَعْدَاءِ أَيْنَ جَامِعُ الْكَلِمِ عَلَى التَّقْوَى أَيْنَ بَابُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي مِنْهُ يُؤْتَى

Where is eraser of the impacts of misguidance and whims? Where is the cutter of the ropes of lies and fabrications? Where is the exterminator of the arrogant and the renegades? Where is the eradicator of the people of obstinacy, and the deception and the atheism? Where is the honourer of the friends and humiliator of the enemies? Where is the unifier of speech upon piety? Where is the door of Allah^-azwj which He^-azwj can be accessed from?

أَيْنَ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي يَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْهِ الْأَوْلِيَاءُ أَيْنَ السَّبَبُ الْمُتَّصِلُ بَيْنَ الْأَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ أَيْنَ صَاحِبُ يَوْمِ الْفَتْحِ وَ نَاشِرُ رَايَةِ الْهُدَى أَيْنَ مُؤَلِّفُ شَمْلِ الصَّلَاحِ وَ الرِّضَا أَيْنَ الطَّالِبُ بِذُحُولِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَيْنَ الْمُطَالِبُ بِكَرْبَلَاءَ

Where is the Face of Allah^-azwj the friends can divert to? Where is the cause connecting between the earth and the sky? Where is the master of the day of victory and the spreader of guidance? Where is the unifier of the families of righteousness and the contented? Where is the demander of the blood of Prophets^-as? Where is the demander (retaliator) of Karbala?

أَيْنَ الْمَنْصُورُ عَلَى مَنِ اعْتَدَى عَلَيْهِ وَ افْتَرَى أَيْنَ الْمُضْطَرُّ الَّذِي يُجَابُ إِذَا دَعَا أَيْنَ صَدْرُ الْخَلَائِفِ ذُو الْبِرِّ وَ التَّقْوَى أَيْنَ ابْنُ النَّبِيِّ الْمُصْطَفَى وَ ابْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْمُرْتَضَى وَ ابْنُ خَدِيجَةَ الْغَرَّاءِ وَ ابْنُ فَاطِمَةَ الْكُبْرَى

Where is the one Helped against the ones transgressing against him^-ajfj and fabricate? Where is the desperate one whom will be Answered when he^-ajfj supplicates?

لَيْتَ شِعْرِي أَيْنَ اسْتَقَرَّتْ بِكَ النَّوَى بَلْ أَيُّ أَرْضٍ تُقِلُّكَ أَوْ ثَرَى أَ بِرَضْوَى أَمْ غَيْرِهَا أَمْ ذِي طُوًى عَزِيزٌ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَرَى الْخَلْقَ وَ لَا تُرَى وَ لَا أَسْمَعَ لَكَ حَسِيساً وَ لَا نَجْوَى عَزِيزٌ عَلَيَّ أَنْ تُحِيطَ بِكَ دُونِيَ الْبَلْوَى وَ لَا يَنَالَكَ مِنِّي ضَجِيجٌ وَ لَا شَكْوَى بِنَفْسِي

If only I was aware where the remoteness has settled with you^-ajfj, but which land carries you^-ajfj or soil! Is it as Razwa or elsewhere, or Zi-Tuwa? It is painful to me that I see the people and I cannot see you^-ajfj nor can I hear any hiss of yours^-ajfj nor whisper! It is painful to me that the trials have surrounded you^-ajfj without me, nor does a clamour or complaint from me reaches you^-ajfj by myself!

أَنْتَ مِنْ مُغَيَّبٍ لَمْ يَخْلُ مِنَّا بِنَفْسِي أَنْتَ مِنْ نَازِحٍ مَا نَزَحَ عَنَّا بِنَفْسِي أَنْتَ أُمْنِيَّةُ شَائِقٍ يَتَمَنَّى مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ مُؤْمِنَةٍ ذَكَرَا فَحَنَّا بِنَفْسِي أَنْتَ مِنْ عَقِيدِ عِزٍّ لَا يُسَامَى بِنَفْسِي أَنْتَ مِنْ أَثِيلِ مَجْدٍ لَا يُجَازَى بِنَفْسِي أَنْتَ مِنْ تِلَادِ نِعَمٍ لَا تُضَاهَى بِنَفْسِي أَنْتَ مِنْ نَصِيفِ شَرَفٍ لَا يُسَاوَى

You^-ajfj are from the absentees was not absent from us! You^-ajfj are the from the departed who did not depart from us! By my soul! You^-azwj are the wish of the yearning ones wishing, whether from a believing man or a believing woman, male (and) female! By my soul! You^-ajfj are from the strong bond of honour which cannot be equalled! By my soul! You^-ajfj are from the noble glory which cannot be recompensed! You^-ajfj are from the abundant bounties which cannot be matched! By my soul! You^-ajfj are from a portion of nobility which cannot be equalled!

إِلَى مَتَى أَحَارُ فِيكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ إِلَى مَتَى وَ أَيَّ خِطَابٍ أَصِفُ فِيكَ وَ أَيَّ نَجْوَى عَزِيزٌ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أُجَابَ دُونَكَ وَ أُنَاغَى عَزِيزٌ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَبْكِيَكَ وَ يَخْذُلَكَ الْوَرَى عَزِيزٌ عَلَيَّ أَنْ يَجْرِيَ عَلَيْكَ دُونَهُمْ مَا جَرَى

Until when will I be confused about you^-ajfj, my master? Until when and with which words shall I describe you^-ajfj and (with) which whisper? It is painful upon me that I am answered by everyone but you^-ajfj and to talk, and it is painful upon me that I weep for you^-ajfj and that people abandon you^-ajfj, and that what happened to them happens without them affecting you^-ajfj! It is painful upon me that it would flow upon you^-ajfj without them what has flowed!

هَلْ مِنْ مُعِينٍ فَأُطِيلَ مَعَهُ الْعَوِيلَ وَ الْبُكَاءَ هَلْ مِنْ جَزُوعٍ فَأُسَاعِدَ جَزَعَهُ إِذَا خَلَا هَلْ قَذِيَتْ عَيْنٌ فَسَاعَدَتْهَا عَيْنِي عَلَى الْقَذَى هَلْ إِلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ أَحْمَدَ سَبِيلٌ فَتُلْقَى هَلْ يَتَّصِلُ يَوْمُنَا مِنْكَ بِغَدِهِ فَنَحْظَى مَتَى نَرِدُ مَنَاهِلَكَ الرَّوِيَّةَ فَنَرْوَى مَتَى نَنْتَفِعُ‏ مِنْ عَذْبِ مَائِكَ فَقَدْ طَالَ الصَّدَى

Is there anyone to help me so I can prolong my wailing and crying with him? Is there anyone anxious whom I can support with in his distress when alone? Has an eye thrown a speck of dust that my eye can be helped to remove? Is there a way to you^-ajfj, O son^-ajfj of Ahmad^-saww, so that I may reach it? Will our day connect with yours^-ajfj tomorrow so that we arrive at your^-ajfj generous springs and be saturated? When will we benefit from the sweetness of your^-ajfj water, for the delay has been long?

مَتَى نُغَادِيكَ وَ نُرَاوِحُكَ فَنُقِرَّ مِنْهَا عَيْناً مَتَى تَرَانَا وَ نَرَاكَ وَ قَدْ نَشَرْتَ لِوَاءَ النَّصْرِ تُرَى أَ تَرَانَا نَحُفُّ بِكَ وَ أَنْتَ تَؤُمُّ الْمَلَأَ وَ قَدْ مَلَأْتَ الْأَرْضَ عَدْلًا وَ أَذَقْتَ أَعْدَاءَكَ هَوَاناً وَ عِقَاباً وَ أَبَرْتَ الْعُتَاةَ وَ جَحَدَةَ الْحَقِّ وَ قَطَعْتَ دَابِرَ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ وَ اجْتَثَثْتَ أُصُولَ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ نَحْنُ نَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

When will we visit you^-ajfj and spend time with you^-ajfj so that we may settle there? When will you^-ajfj see us and we see you^-ajfj, while you have raised the banner of victory? Do you^-ajfj see us that we would be rallying around you^-ajfj while you^-ajfj lead the assembly, and You^-ajfj have filled the earth with justice, and humbled and punished your^-ajfj enemies, and broken the arrogant and deniers of truth, and cut off the prideful, and uprooted the foundations of the oppressors, while we say, ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the worlds!

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ كَشَّافُ الْكُرَبِ وَ الْبَلْوَى وَ إِلَيْكَ أَسْتَعْدِي فَعِنْدَكَ الْعَدْوَى وَ أَنْتَ رَبُّ الْآخِرَةِ وَ الْأُولَى فَأَغِثْ يَا غِيَاثَ الْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ عُبَيْدَكَ الْمُبْتَلَى وَ أَرِهِ سَيِّدَهُ يَا شَدِيدَ الْقُوَى وَ أَزِلْ عَنْهُ بِهِ الْأَسَى وَ الْجَوَى وَ بَرِّدْ غَلِيلَهُ يَا مَنْ‏ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوى‏ وَ مَنْ إِلَيْهِ الرُّجْعَى وَ الْمُنْتَهَى

O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj the Remover of distress and the afflictions, and to You^-azwj is my and to You^-azwj is my preparedness, for with You^-azwj is the return, and You^-azwj are Lord^-azwj of the Hereafter and the former. So, Help, O Helper of the seekers of help Your^-azwj afflicted servant and Show him his master, O Severe of the Strength, and Remove from him the grief and the sorrow and Cool down his anger! O One Who is even upon the Throne, and One to Whom is the return and the end-point!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ نَحْنُ عَبِيدُكَ الشَّائِقُونَ إِلَى وَلِيِّكَ الْمُذَكِّرِ بِكَ وَ بِنَبِيِّكَ خَلَقْتَهُ لَنَا عِصْمَةً وَ مَلَاذاً وَ أَقَمْتَهُ لَنَا قِوَاماً وَ مَعَاذاً وَ جَعَلْتَهُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنَّا إِمَاماً فَبَلِّغْهُ مِنَّا تَحِيَّةً وَ سَلَاماً وَ زِدْنَا بِذَلِكَ يَا رَبِّ إِكْرَاماً وَ اجْعَلْ مُسْتَقَرَّهُ لَنَا مُسْتَقَرّاً وَ مُقَاماً وَ أَتْمِمْ نِعْمَتَكَ بِتَقْدِيمِكَ إِيَّاهُ أَمَامَنَا حَتَّى تُورِدَنَا جِنَانَكَ وَ مُرَافَقَةَ الشُّهَدَاءِ مِنْ خُلَصَائِكَ

O Allah^-azwj, as we are Your^-azwj servants longing for Your^-azwj guardian who reminds us of You^-azwj and Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww! You^-azwj Created him^-ajfj for us as protection and refuge, and Established him^-ajfj as our support and shelter. You^-azwj Made him^-ajfj an Imam^-ajfj for the believers among us. Convey to him^-ajfj from us greetings and salutations, and, O Lord^-azwj Increase us in honour with that, and Make his^-ajfj settlement as settlement for us and a residence, and Complete Your^-azwj bounties with Your^-azwj Advancing him^-ajfj in front of us until You^-azwj Make us arrive to Your^-azwj Paradise and friendship of the martyrs from Your^-azwj sincere ones!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ جَدِّهِ وَ رَسُولِكَ السَّيِّدِ الْأَكْبَرِ وَ عَلَى أَبِيهِ السَّيِّدِ الْأَصْغَرِ وَ جَدَّتِهِ الصِّدِّيقَةِ الْكُبْرَى فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww his^-ajfj grandfather^-saww and Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, the greatest chief, and upon his^-ajfj father^-asws the smaller chief, and his^-ajfj grandmother the greatest truthful, (Syeda) Fatima^-asws daughter^-asws of Muhammad^-saww!

وَ عَلَى مَنِ اصْطَفَيْتَ مِنْ آبَائِهِ الْبَرَرَةِ وَ عَلَيْهِ أَفْضَلَ وَ أَكْمَلَ وَ أَتَمَّ وَ أَدْوَمَ وَ أَكْبَرَ وَ أَوْفَرَ مَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَصْفِيَائِكَ وَ خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ صَلَاةً لَا غَايَةَ لِعَدَدِهَا وَ لَا نِهَايَةَ لِمَدَدِهَا وَ لَا نَفَادَ لِأَمَدِهَا

And upon the ones from his^-ajfj forefathers^-asws You^-azwj have Chosen, the righteous, and upon him^-ajfj be the best, and most perfect, and most complete, and most constant, and greatest, and most plentiful of what Salawaat You^-azwj have Sent upon anyone of Your^-azwj elites, and Your^-azwj Choice from Your^-azwj creatures, and Send Salawaat upon him^-ajfj, a Salawaat having no peak to its number nor any end to its extent, nor depletion to its period!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَقِمْ بِهِ الْحَقَّ وَ أَدْحِضْ بِهِ الْبَاطِلَ وَ أَدِلْ بِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَكَ وَ أَذْلِلْ بِهِ أَعْدَاءَكَ

O Allah^-azwj, and Establish the truth through him^-asws, and Refute the falsehood through him^-ajfj, and Guide Your^-azwj friends through him^-ajfj and Humiliate Your^-azwj enemies through him^-ajfj!

وَ صِلِ اللَّهُمَّ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُ وُصْلَةً تُؤَدِّي إِلَى مُرَافَقَةِ سَلَفِهِ وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ يَأْخُذُ بِحُجْزَتِهِمْ وَ يَمْكُثُ فِي ظِلِّهِمْ وَ أَعِنَّا عَلَى تَأْدِيَةِ حُقُوقِهِ إِلَيْهِ وَ الِاجْتِهَادِ فِي طَاعَتِهِ وَ الِاجْتِنَابِ عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِهِ وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيْنَا بِرِضَاهُ وَ هَبْ لَنَا رَأْفَتَهُ وَ رَحْمَتَهُ وَ دُعَاءَهُ وَ خَيْرَهُ مَا نَنَالُ‏ بِهِ سَعَةً مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ فَوْزاً عِنْدَكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Connect us to him^-ajfj with a connection that leads to the companionship of his^-ajfj ancestors, and Make us among those who cling to their^-asws guidance and remain under their^-asws shade. Help us to fulfil his rights towards him^-ajfj, strive in obedience to him^-ajfj, and avoid disobedience to him^-ajfj. Bestow upon us his^-ajfj satisfaction, grant us his^-ajfj compassion, mercy, supplication, and goodness, through which we may attain an abundance of Your^-azwj Mercy and success with You^-azwj!

و اجْعَلْ صَلَاتَنَا بِهِ مَقْبُولَةً وَ ذُنُوبَنَا بِهِ مَغْفُورَةً وَ دُعَاءَنَا بِهِ مُسْتَجَاباً وَ اجْعَلْ أَرْزَاقَنَا بِهِ مَبْسُوطَةً وَ هُمُومَنَا بِهِ مَكْفِيَّةً وَ حَوَائِجَنَا بِهِ مَقْضِيَّةً وَ أَقْبِلْ إِلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ اقْبَلْ تَقَرُّبَنَا إِلَيْكَ وَ انْظُرْ إِلَيْنَا نَظْرَةً رَحِيمَةً نَسْتَكْمِلُ بِهَا الْكَرَامَةَ عِنْدَكَ

And Make our Salats Accepted through him^-ajfj, and our sins Forgiven through him^-ajfj, and our supplications Answered through him^-ajfj. Make our sustenance abundant through him^-ajfj, our concerns relieved through him^-ajfj, and our needs fulfilled through him^-ajfj. Turn toward us with Your^-azwj Noble Face, Accept our drawing near to You^-azwj, and Look upon us with a Merciful Glance through which we attain complete prestige with You^-azwj!

ثُمَّ لَا تَصْرِفْهَا عَنَّا بِجُودِكَ وَ اسْقِنَا مِنْ حَوْضِ جَدِّهِ ص بِكَأْسِهِ وَ بِيَدِهِ رَيّاً رَوِيّاً هَنِيئاً سَائِغاً لَا ظَمَأَ بَعْدَهُ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

Then do not Turn it away from us due to Your^-azwj Generosity, and Quench us from the fountain of his^-ajfj grandfather^-saww with his^-ajfj cup and by his^-ajfj hand, a saturating drink, pleasant, plentiful, there being no thirst after it, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’

ثم صل صلاة الزيارة و قد تقدم وصفها ثم تدعو بما أحببت فإنك تجاب إن شاء الله تعالى‏.

Then pray Salat of the Ziyarat, and its description has already preceded. Then supplication with whatever you like for you shall be Answered, if Allah^-azwj the Exalted so Desires!’’[10]

أقول قال محمد بن المشهدي في المزار الكبير قال محمد بن علي بن أبي قرة نقلت من كتاب أبي جعفر محمد بن الحسين بن سفيان البزوفري.

I say, ‘Muhammad Bin Al-Mahshadi said in ‘Al-Mazar Al Kabeer’, ‘Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Abu Qurrah said, ‘I copied from the book of Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Bin Sufyan Al-Bazufari’.

أقول و ذكر مثل ما ذكره السيد سواء و أظن أن السيد أخذه منه إلا أنه لم يذكر الصلاة في آخره‏.

I say, ‘And he mentioned similar to what the Seyyid mentioned, same, and I think that the Seyyid had taken it from him except that he did not mention the Salat in its end’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ ذِكْرُ مَا يُزَارُ بِهِ مَوْلَانَا صَاحِبُ الزَّمَانِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ

Then the Seyyid, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, mentioned what one can visit with our master, Master of the Time, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-ajfj, every day after Al-Fajr Salat: –

اللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْ مَوْلَايَ صَاحِبَ الزَّمَانِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ عَنْ جَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ فِي مَشَارِقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبِهَا وَ بَرِّهَا وَ بَحْرِهَا وَ سَهْلِهَا وَ جَبَلِهَا حَيِّهِمْ وَ مَيِّتِهِمْ وَ عَنْ وَالِدَيَّ وَ وُلْدِي وَ عَنِّي مِنَ الصَّلَوَاتِ وَ التَّحِيَّاتِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ وَ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ وَ مُنْتَهَى رِضَاهُ وَ عَدَدَ مَا أَحْصَاهُ كِتَابُهُ وَ أَحَاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُهُ بِهِ

‘O Allah^-azwj! Deliver to our master, Master of the Time, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-ajfj, on behalf of entirety of the believing men and the believing women, in easts of the earth and its west, and its lands and its seas, and its coasts and mountains, their living ones and their deceased, and on behalf of my parents and my children, and from myself, from the Salawaat and the salutations, weight of the Throne of Allah^-azwj, and extent of His^-azwj Words, and ultimate of His^-azwj Pleasure, and number of what His^-azwj Book enumerates and His^-azwj Knowledge encompasses with!

اللَّهُمَّ أُجَدِّدُ لَهُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ عَهْداً وَ عَقْداً وَ بَيْعَةً لَهُ فِي رَقَبَتِي

O Allah^-azwj! I renew for him^-ajfj in this day and in every day, pact and agreement and allegiance to him^-ajfj in my neck.

اللَّهُمَّ فَكَمَا شَرَّفْتَنِي بِهَذَا التَّشْرِيفِ وَ فَضَّلْتَنِي بِهَذِهِ الْفَضِيلَةِ وَ خَصَصْتَنِي بِهَذِهِ النِّعْمَةِ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مَوْلَايَ وَ سَيِّدِي صَاحِبِ الزَّمَانِ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَنْصَارِهِ وَ أَشْيَاعِهِ وَ الذَّابِّينَ عَنْهُ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُسْتَشْهَدِينَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ طَائِعاً غَيْرَ مُكْرَهٍ فِي الصَّفِّ الَّذِي نَعَتَّ أَهْلَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ فَقُلْتَ‏ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُمْ بُنْيانٌ مَرْصُوصٌ‏ عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَ طَاعَةِ رَسُولِهِ وَ آلِهِ ع

O Allah^-azwj! Just as You^-azwj have Ennobled me with this nobility, and Merited me with this merit, and Particularised me with this bounty, so Send Salawaat upon my master and my chief, Master of the Time, and Make me from his^-ajfj helpers, and his^-ajfj Shias, and his^-ajfj defenders, and Make me from the ones to be martyred in front of him^-ajfj, willingly not unwillingly in the row which its people are described in Your^-azwj Book: as if they were like a solid structure [61:4], being upon obedience to you^-ajfj and obedience to His^-azwj Rasool^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws!

اللَّهُمَّ هَذِهِ بَيْعَةٌ لَهُ فِي عُنُقِي إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.

O Allah^-azwj! This is a pledge of allegiance to him^-ajfj in my neck up to the Day of Qiyamah!’’[11]

أقول: وجدت في بعض الكتب القديمة بعد ذلك و يصفق بيده اليمنى على اليسرى.

I say, ‘I found in one of the ancient books after that, and he should clap his right hand upon the (back of the) left’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ذِكْرُ الْعَهْدِ الْمَأْمُورِ بِهِ فِي زَمَانِ الْغَيْبَةِ رُوِيَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحاً بِهَذَا الْعَهْدِ كَانَ مِنْ أَنْصَارِ قَائِمِنَا فَإِنْ مَاتَ قَبْلَهُ أَخْرَجَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ قَبْرِهِ وَ أَعْطَاهُ بِكُلِّ كَلِمَةٍ أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ وَ مَحَا عَنْهُ أَلْفَ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ هُوَ هَذَا

Then the Seyyid, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, said mentioning the pact commanded with during the era of the occultation. It is reported from Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq^-asws, he^-asws said: ‘One who supplicates to Allah^-azwj the Exalted for forty mornings with this pact would be from the helpers of our Qaim^-ajfj. If he dies before it, Allah^-azwj the Exalted will Extract him from his grave and Grant him a thousand deeds with every word and Delete a thousand evil deeds from him, and it is this: –

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النُّورِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ رَبَّ الْكُرْسِيِّ الرَّفِيعِ وَ رَبَ‏ الْبَحْرِ الْمَسْجُورِ وَ مُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَ الزَّبُورِ وَ رَبَّ الظِّلِّ وَ الْحَرُورِ وَ مُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ رَبَّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

‘O Allah^-azwj, Lord^-azwj of the Magnificent Noor, and Lord^-azwj of the Lofty Chair, and Lord^-azwj of the swelling ocean, and Revealer of the Torah and the Evangel and the Psalms, and Lord^-azwj of the shade and the heat, and Revealed of the Magnificent Quran, and Lord^-azwj of the Angels of Proximity and the Messenger Prophets^-as!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الْمُنِيرِ وَ مُلْكِكَ الْقَدِيرِ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Honourable Face, and by the Noor of Your^-azwj Radiant Face and Your^-azwj Ancient Kingdom, O Living, O Eternal!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَتْ بِهِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرَضُونَ وَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي يَصْلُحُ بِهِ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ الْآخِرُونَ يَا حَيُّ قَبْلَ كُلِّ حَيٍّ يَا حَيُّ بَعْدَ كُلِّ حَيٍّ حِينَ لَا حَيَّ يَا مُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى وَ مُمِيتَ الْأَحْيَاءِ يَا حَيُّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name by which shone the skies and the earths, and by Your^-azwj Name by which the former ones and the latter ones corrected! O Living before all life, O Living after all life when there will be no life! O Reviver of the dead and Causer of death to the living! O Living, there is no god except You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْ مَوْلَانَا الْإِمَامَ الْهَادِيَ الْمَهْدِيَّ الْقَائِمَ بِأَمْرِكَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى آبَائِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ عَنْ جَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ فِي مَشَارِقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبِهَا سَهْلِهَا وَ جَبَلِهَا وَ بَرِّهَا وَ بَحْرِهَا وَ عَنِّي وَ عَنْ وَالِدَيَّ مِنَ الصَّلَوَاتِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ وَ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ وَ مَا أَحْصَاهُ عِلْمُهُ وَ أَحَاطَ بِهِ كِتَابُهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Deliver to our master, the Imam^-ajfj, the guide, the guided, the one standing with Your^-azwj Commands, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-ajfj and upon his^-ajfj pure forefathers^-asws, on behalf of the entirety of the believing men and the believing women in easts of the earth and its wests, its coasts and its mountains, and its lands and its seas, and from me and from my parents, from the Salawaat the weight of the Throne of Allah^-azwj, and extent of His^-azwj Words, and what His^-azwj Knowledge encompasses, and His^-azwj Book contains!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُجَدِّدُ لَهُ فِي صَبِيحَةِ يَوْمِي هَذَا وَ مَا عِشْتُ مِنْ أَيَّامِي عَهْداً وَ عَقْداً وَ بَيْعَةً لَهُ فِي عُنُقِي لَا أَحُولُ عَنْهَا وَ لَا أَزُولُ أَبَداً

O Allah^-azwj! I renew to him^-ajfj in this morning of mine, and for as long as I live from my days, a pact, and agreement, and allegiance to him^-ajfj in my neck! I will not turn away from it nor will I move, ever!

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَنْصَارِهِ وَ أَعْوَانِهِ وَ الذَّابِّينَ عَنْهُ وَ الْمُسَارِعِينَ إِلَيْهِ فِي قَضَاءِ حَوَائِجِهِ وَ الْمُحَامِينَ عَنْهُ وَ السَّابِقِينَ إِلَى إِرَادَتِهِ وَ الْمُسْتَشْهَدِينَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ

O Allah^-azwj! Make me from his^-ajfj helpers, and his^-ajfj supporters, and his^-ajfj defenders, and the striver to him^-ajfj in fulfilment of his^-ajfj needs, and the protectors on his^-ajfj behalf, and the ones preceding to his^-ajfj wants, and the ones seeking martyrdom in front of him^-ajfj!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ حَالَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ الْمَوْتُ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ حَتْماً مَقْضِيّاً فَأَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ قَبْرِي مُؤْتَزِراً كَفَنِي شَاهِراً سَيْفِي مُجَرِّداً قَنَاتِي مُلَبِّياً دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِي فِي الْحَاضِرِ وَ الْبَادِي

O Allah^-azwj! If a barrier is formed between me and him^-ajfj by death which You^-azwj have Made it upon Your^-azwj servants as an Ordained Decree, Extract me from my grave wrapped in my shroud, my hand holding my sword, bearing my spear, responding to the call of the caller in the present and distant lands!

اللَّهُمَّ أَرِنِي الطَّلْعَةَ الرَّشِيدَةَ وَ الْغُرَّةَ الْحَمِيدَةَ وَ اكْحُلْ نَاظِرِي بِنَظْرَةٍ مِنِّي إِلَيْهِ وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُ وَ سَهِّلْ مَخْرَجَهُ وَ أَوْسِعْ مَنْهَجَهُ وَ اسْلُكْ بِي مَحَجَّتَهُ وَ أَنْفِذْ أَمْرَهُ وَ اشْدُدْ أَزْرَهُ وَ اعْمُرِ اللَّهُمَّ بِهِ بِلَادَكَ وَ أَحْيِ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَ قَوْلُكَ الْحَقُ‏ ظَهَرَ الْفَسادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ بِما كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ

O Allah^-azwj! Show me the rightly guided appearance and the praiseworthy radiant face, and Delight my eyes with a glance from me to him^-ajfj. Hasten his^-ajfj relief, and Ease his^-ajfj emergence, and Widen his^-ajfj path, and Make me follow his^-ajfj way and carry out his^-ajfj orders, and Strengthen his^-ajfj support, and O Allah^-azwj, Revive Your^-azwj land through him^-ajfj, for You^-azwj Said, and Your^-azwj Word is the truth: Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea due to what the hands of the people have earned, [30:41]!

فَأَظْهِرِ اللَّهُمَّ لَنَا وَلِيَّكَ وَ ابْنَ بِنْتِ نَبِيِّكَ الْمُسَمَّى بِاسْمِ رَسُولِكَ حَتَّى لَا يَظْفَرَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ إِلَّا مَزَّقَهُ وَ يُحِقَّ الْحَقَّ وَ يُحَقِّقَهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Reveal Your^-azwj guardian, and son^-ajfj of the daughter^-asws of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, the one named with the name of Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww until nothing from the falsehood wins except he^-ajfj tears it apart, and he^-ajfj establishes the truth and confirms it!

وَ اجْعَلْهُ اللَّهُمَّ مَفْزَعاً لِمَظْلُومِ عِبَادِكَ وَ نَاصِراً لِمَنْ لَا يَجِدُ لَهُ نَاصِراً غَيْرَكَ وَ مُجَدِّداً لِمَا عُطِّلَ مِنْ أَحْكَامِ كِتَابِكَ وَ مُشَيِّداً لِمَا وَرَدَ مِنْ أَعْلَامِ دِينِكَ وَ سُنَنِ نَبِيِّكَ ص وَ اجْعَلْهُ اللَّهُمَّ مِمَّنْ حَصَّنْتَهُ مِنْ بَأْسِ الْمُعْتَدِينَ

O Allah^-azwj, and Make him^-asws a shelter for Your^-azwj oppressed servants, and a helper for the one who cannot find a helper for himself apart from You^-azwj, and a reviver of what has been suspended from Your^-azwj Rulings of Your^-azwj Book, and a strengthener of what has been referred from the signs of Your^-azwj religion and Sunnah of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, and O Allah^-azwj, Make him^-ajfj from the ones You^-azwj have Fortified from the evil of the transgressors!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ سُرَّ نَبِيَّكَ مُحَمَّداً ص بِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَ مَنْ تَبِعَهُ عَلَى دَعْوَتِهِ وَ ارْحَمِ اسْتِكَانَتَنَا بَعْدَهُ

O Allah^-azwj, and Cheer Your^-azwj Prophet Muhammad^-saww with sighting him^-ajfj, and the ones who followed him^-saww upon his^-saww call, and Mercy our submissiveness after him^-saww!

‏ اللَّهُمَّ اكْشِفْ هَذِهِ الْغُمَّةَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بِحُضُورِهِ وَ عَجِّلْ لَنَا ظُهُورَهُ إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيداً وَ نَرَاهُ قَرِيباً بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Remove this sadness from this community by presenting him^-ajfj and Hasten his^-ajfj appearance for us! They are viewing it as being distant and we^-asws see it as near, by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’

ثُمَّ تَضْرِبُ عَلَى فَخِذِكَ الْأَيْمَنِ بِيَدِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ تَقُولُ الْعَجَلَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا صَاحِبَ الزَّمَانِ ثَلَاثاً.

Then strike upon your right thigh with your hand three times and say, ‘The haste, O my master, O Master of the Time’, thrice’’.[12]

ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ‏ فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ الِانْصِرَافَ مِنْ حَرَمِهِ الشَّرِيفِ فَعُدْ إِلَى السِّرْدَابِ الْمُنِيفِ وَ صَلِّ فِيهِ مَا شِئْتَ ثُمَّ قُمْ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ ادْفَعْ عَنْ وَلِيِّكَ وَ خَلِيفَتِكَ وَ حُجَّتِكَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ وَ لِسَانِكَ الْمُعَبِّرِ عَنْكَ وَ النَّاطِقِ بِحِكْمَتِكَ وَ عَيْنِكَ النَّاظِرَةِ بِإِذْنِكَ وَ شَاهِدِكَ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ الْجَحْجَاحِ الْمُجَاهِدِ الْعَائِذِ بِكَ الْعَائِدِ عِنْدَكَ

Then the Seyyid, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, said, ‘When you intend to leave from his^-asws noble sanctuary, return to the lofty basement and pray Salat in it whatever you like, then stand facing the Qiblah and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Defend Your^-azwj guardian, and Your^-azwj caliph, and Your^-azwj Divine authority upon Your^-azwj creatures, and Your^-azwj tongue expressing on Your^-azwj behalf and speaking with Your^-azwj Wisdom, and Your^-azwj eye beholding with Your^-azwj Permission, and Your^-azwj witness upon Your^-azwj servants, and the mighty fighter seeking refuge with You^-azwj and returning to You^-azwj!

وَ أَعِذْهُ مِنْ شَرِّ جَمِيعِ مَا خَلَقْتَ وَ بَرَأْتَ وَ أَنْشَأْتَ وَ صَوَّرْتَ وَ احْفَظْهُ‏ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ وَ مِنْ تَحْتِهِ بِحِفْظِكَ الَّذِي لَا يَضِيعُ مَنْ حَفِظْتَهُ بِهِ

And Shelter him^-ajfj from the evil of entirety of what You^-azwj have Created, and Made, and Grown, and Shaped, and Protect him^-ajfj from his^-ajfj front, and from behind him^-ajfj, and on his^-ajfj right, and on his^-ajfj left, and from above him^-ajfj and from beneath him^-ajfj, with Your^-azwj Protection which does not Waste the one You^-azwj Protect him with!

وَ احْفَظْ فِيهِ رَسُولَكَ وَ آبَاءَهُ السَّادَةَ أَئِمَّتَكَ وَ دَعَائِمَ دِينِكَ وَ اجْعَلْهُ فِي وَدِيعَتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تَضِيعُ وَ فِي جِوَارِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُخْفَرُ وَ فِي مَنْعِكَ وَ عِزِّكَ الَّذِي لَا يُقْهَرُ

And Protect in him^-ajfj, Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww and his^-ajfj forefathers^-asws, the chiefs, Your^-azwj Imams^-asws and pillars of Your^-azwj religion, and Make him^-ajfj in Your^-azwj depository which does not waste and in Your^-azwj Shelter which is not pierced, and in Your^-azwj Prevention, and Your^-azwj Mighty which cannot be subdued!

وَ آمِنْهُ بِأَمَانِكَ الْوَثِيقِ الَّذِي لَا يُخْذَلُ مَنْ آمَنْتَهُ بِهِ وَ اجْعَلْهُ فِي كَنَفِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ مَنْ كَانَ فِيهِ وَ انْصُرْهُ بِنَصْرِكَ الْعَزِيزِ وَ أَيِّدْهُ بِجُنْدِكَ الْغَالِبِ وَ قَوِّهِ بِقُوَّتِكَ وَ أَرْدِفْهُ بِمَلَائِكَتِكَ وَ وَالِ مَنْ وَالاهُ وَ عَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ وَ أَلْبِسْهُ دِرْعَكَ الْحَصِينَةَ وَ حُفَّهُ بِالْمَلَائِكَةِ حَفّاً

And Secure him^-ajfj with Your^-azwj trusted security which does not abandon the one You^-azwj Secure with, and Make him^-ajfj in Your^-azwj canopy which one who is in it cannot be violated, and Help him^-ajfj with Your^-azwj Mighty Help, and Aid him^-asws with Your^-azwj prevailing army, and Strengthen him^-ajfj with Your^-azwj Strength, and Support him^-ajfj with Your^-azwj Angels, and Befriend the one who befriends him^-ajfj and Be Inimical to the one being inimical to him^-ajfj, and Clothe him^-ajfj with Your^-azwj fortified armour, and Surround him^-asws with protecting Angels!

اللَّهُمَّ اشْعَبْ بِهِ الصَّدْعَ وَ ارْتُقْ بِهِ الْفَتْقَ وَ أَمِتْ بِهِ الْجَوْرَ وَ أَظْهِرْ بِهِ الْعَدْلَ وَ زَيِّنْ بِطُولِ بَقَائِهِ الْأَرْضَ وَ أَيِّدْهُ بِالنَّصْرِ وَ انْصُرْهُ بِالرُّعْبِ وَ قَوِّ نَاصِرِيهِ وَ اخْذُلْ خَاذِلِيهِ وَ دَمْدِمْ عَلَى مَنْ نَصَبَ لَهُ وَ دَمِّرْ عَلَى مَنْ غَشَّهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Fill the crack through him^-ajfj, and Mend the split through him^-ajfj, and Kill the tyranny through him^-ajfj, and Manifest the justice through him^-ajfj, and Adorn the earth by prolonging his^-ajfj remaining, and Aid him^-ajfj with the victory, and Help him^-ajfj with the awe, and Strengthen his^-ajfj helpers, and Abandon his^-ajfj abandoners, and Crush the ones who are hostile to him^-ajfj, and Destroy the ones deceiving him^-ajfj!

وَ اقْتُلْ بِهِ جَبَابِرَةَ الْكُفْرِ وَ عُمُدَهُ وَ دَعَائِمَهُ وَ اقْصِمْ بِهِ رُءُوسَ الضَّلَالَةِ وَ شَارِعَةَ الْبِدَعِ وَ مُمِيتَةَ السُّنَّةِ وَ مُقَوِّيَةَ الْبَاطِلِ وَ ذَلِّلْ بِهِ الْجَبَّارِينَ وَ أَبِرْ بِهِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَ جَمِيعَ الْمُلْحِدِينَ فِي مَشَارِقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبِهَا وَ بَرِّهَا وَ بَحْرِهَا وَ سَهْلِهَا وَ جَبَلِهَا حَتَّى لَا تَدَعَ مِنْهُمْ دَيَّاراً وَ لَا تُبْقِيَ لَهُمْ آثَاراً

And Kill through him^-ajfj the tyrants of Kufr, and its pillars and its supports, and Break through him^-ajfj heads of the straying, the legislators of innovation and killers of the Sunnah, and strengtheners of the falsehood, and Humiliate the tyrants through him^-ajfj, and Punish through him^-ajfj the Kafirs and entirety of the atheists, in easts of the earth and its wests, and its lands and its seas, and its coasts and its mountains until You^-azwj do not Leave any house of theirs nor Let any trace of them to remain!

اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْ بِهِ بِلَادَكَ وَ اشْفِ مِنْهُمْ صُدُورَ عِبَادِكَ وَ أَعِزَّ بِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَحْيِ بِهِ سُنَنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ دَارِسَ حُكْمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ جَدِّدْ بِهِ مَا امْتَحَى مِنْ دِينِكَ وَ بُدِّلَ مِنْ حُكْمِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Purify Your^-azwj lands through him^-ajfj, and Heal from them^-asws chests of Your^-azwj servants, Honour the Momineen through him^-ajfj, and Revive the Sunnah of the Messengers^-as through him^-ajfj and Teach the rulings of the Prophets^-as, and Revive through him what has been erased from Your^-azwj religion and replaced from Your^-azwj Ruling.

حَتَّى تُعِيدَ دِينَكَ بِهِ وَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ جَدِيداً غَضّاً مَحْضاً صَحِيحاً لَا عِوَجَ فِيهِ وَ لَا بِدْعَةَ مَعَهُ وَ حَتَّى تُنِيرَ بِعَدْلِهِ ظُلَمَ الْجَوْرِ وَ تُطْفِئَ بِهِ نِيرَانَ الْكُفْرِ وَ تُوضِحَ بِهِ مَعَاقِدَ الْحَقِّ وَ مَجْهُولَ الْعَدْلِ فَإِنَّهُ عَبْدُكَ الَّذِي اسْتَخْلَصْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ اصْطَفَيْتَهُ عَلَى غَيْبِكَ وَ عَصَمْتَهُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ بَرَّأْتَهُ مِنَ الْعُيُوبِ وَ طَهَّرْتَهُ مِنَ الرِّجْسِ وَ سَلَّمْتَهُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ

Until You^-azwj Restore Your^-azwj religion through him^-ajfj and by his^-ajfj hands, new, fresh, pure, and sound, with no distortion in it and no innovation alongside it. Until ,You^-azwj Illuminate with his^-ajfj justice the darkness of oppression, Extinguish through him^-ajfj the fires of disbelief, clarify through him^-ajfj the foundations of truth and the hidden paths of justice, for he^-ajfj is Your^-azwj servant whom You^-azwj have Chosen for Yourself^-azwj Selected for Your^-azwj unseen Commands, Protected from sins, Cleared of faults, Purified from impurity, and Kept safe from the defilement!

اللَّهُمَّ فَإِنَّا نَشْهَدُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ يَوْمَ حُلُولِ الطَّامَّةِ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُذْنِبْ ذَنْباً وَ لَا أَتَى حُوباً وَ لَمْ يَرْتَكِبْ مَعْصِيَةً وَ لَمْ يُضَيِّعْ لَكَ طَاعَةً وَ لَمْ يَهْتِكْ لَكَ حُرْمَةً وَ لَمْ يُبَدِّلْ لَكَ فَرِيضَةً وَ لَمْ يُغَيِّرْ لَكَ شَرِيعَةً وَ أَنَّهُ الْهَادِي الْمُهْتَدِي الطَّاهِرُ التَّقِيُّ النَّقِيُّ الرَّضِيُّ الْمَرْضِيُّ الزَّكِيُّ

O Allah^-azwj! We shall testify for him^-ajfj on the Day of Qiyamah and on the Day of the overwhelming calamity that he^-ajfj did not commit any sin, nor approach any offence, nor engage in any disobedience, nor neglect any act of obedience to You^-azwj, nor violate any of Your^-azwj Sanctities, nor alter any of Your^-azwj obligations, nor change any of Your^-azwj laws. Indeed, he^-ajfj is the rightly guiding and rightly guided, the pure, the pious, the spotless, the pleasing and well-pleased, the purified!

اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِهِ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ أَهْلِهِ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ وَ أُمَّتِهِ وَ جَمِيعِ رَعِيَّتِهِ مَا تُقِرُّ بِهِ عَيْنَهُ وَ تَسُرُّ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ وَ تَجْمَعُ لَهُ مُلْكَ الْمَمَالِكِ قَرِيبِهَا وَ بَعِيدِهَا وَ عَزِيزِهَا وَ ذَلِيلِهَا حَتَّى يَجْرِيَ حُكْمُهُ عَلَى كُلِّ حُكْمٍ وَ يَغْلِبَ بِحَقِّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ بَاطِلٍ

O Allah^-azwj! Grant him^-ajfj regarding himself^-ajfj, and his^-ajfj family^-ajfj, and his^-ajfj offspring, and his^-ajfj community, and the entirety of his^-ajfj citizens what his^-ajfj would be delighted with, and his^-ajfj soul would be cheered with, and Gather for him^-ajfj a kingdom of the kingdoms, their near ones and their far, their mighty ones and their humiliated, until his^-ajfj ruling flows upon every ruling and his^-ajfj right would prevail upon all falsehood!

اللَّهُمَّ اسْلُكْ بِنَا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ مِنْهَاجَ الْهُدَى وَ الْمَحَجَّةَ الْعُظْمَى وَ الطَّرِيقَةَ الْوُسْطَى الَّتِي يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهَا الْغَالِي وَ يَلْحَقُ بِهَا التَّالِي وَ قَوِّنَا عَلَى طَاعَتِهِ ثَبِّتْنَا عَلَى مُتَابَعَتِهِ وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيْنَا بِمُبَايَعَتِهِ وَ اجْعَلْنَا فِي حِزْبِهِ الْقَوَّامِينَ بِأَمْرِهِ الصَّابِرِينَ مَعَهُ الطَّالِبِينَ رِضَاكَ بِمُنَاصَحَتِهِ حَتَّى تَحْشُرَنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِي أَنْصَارِهِ وَ أَعْوَانِهِ

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj to Lead us through his^-ajfj hands upon the path of guidance, the great clear way, and the balanced course to which the excessive returns and the lagging catch-up. Strengthen us in obeying him^-ajfj, make us firm in following him^-ajfj, bestow upon us the grace of pledging allegiance to him^-ajfj, and place us in his ^-ajfj party, those who uphold his^-ajfj command, remain patient alongside him^-ajfj, and seek Your^-azwj Pleasure by supporting him^-ajfj until You^-azwj Gather us on the Day of Qiyamah among his^-ajfj helpers and^-ajfj supporters!

وَ مُقَوِّيَةِ سُلْطَانِهِ وَ اجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ خَالِصاً مِنْ كُلِّ شَكٍّ وَ شُبْهَةٍ وَ رِيَاءٍ وَ سُمْعَةٍ حَتَّى لَا نَعْتَمِدَ بِهِ غَيْرَكَ وَ لَا نَطْلُبَ بِهِ إِلَّا وَجْهَكَ وَ حَتَّى تُحِلَّنَا مَحَلَّهُ وَ تَجْعَلَنَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَعَهُ وَ أَعِذْنَا مِنَ السَّأْمَةِ وَ الْكَسَلِ وَ الْفَتْرَةِ وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ تَنْتَصِرُ بِهِ لِدِينِكَ وَ تُعِزُّ بِهِ نَصْرَ وَلِيِّكَ وَ لَا تَسْتَبْدِلْ بِنَا غَيْرَنَا فَإِنَّ اسْتِبْدَالَكَ بِنَا غَيْرَنَا عَلَيْكَ يَسِيرٌ وَ هُوَ عَلَيْنَا كَبِيرٌ

And Strengthen his^-ajfj authority, and make all of that purely for You^-azwj, free from any doubt, ambiguity, showing off, or seeking reputation, so that we rely on none through it except You^-azwj and seek none by it but Your^-azwj Face, and so that You^-azwj Settle us in his place and place us in Paradise with him^-azwj, and Protect us from weariness, laziness, and spiritual decline, and Make us among those through whom You^-azwj Give victory to Your^-azwj religion and through whom You^-azwj honour the support of Your^-azwj representative, and do not replace us with others, for replacing us with others is easy for You^-azwj but grievous for us!

اللَّهُمَّ نَوِّرْ بِهِ كُلَّ ظُلْمَةٍ وَ هُدَّ بِرُكْنِهِ كُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ وَ اهْدِمْ بِعِزِّهِ كُلَّ ضَلَالَةٍ وَ اقْصِمْ بِهِ كُلَّ جَبَّارٍ وَ أَخْمِدْ بِسَيْفِهِ كُلَّ نَارٍ وَ أَهْلِكْ بِعَدْلِهِ جَوْرَ كُلِّ جَائِرٍ وَ أَجْرِ حُكْمَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَاكِمٍ وَ أَذِلَّ بِسُلْطَانِهِ كُلَّ سُلْطَانٍ

O Allah^-azwj! Illuminate every darkness through him^-ajfj, and destroy every innovation with his^-ajfj strength, and Demolish every straying with his^-ajfj might, and Break every tyrant through him^-ajfj, and Extinguish every fire with his^-ajfj sword, and Annihilate the injustice of every oppressor with his^-ajfj justice, and Enforce his^-ajfj rule over every ruler, and Humble every authority with his^-ajfj authority!

اللَّهُمَّ أَذِلَّ كُلَّ مَنْ نَاوَاهُ وَ أَهْلِكْ كُلَّ مَنْ عَادَاهُ وَ امْكُرْ بِمَنْ كَادَهُ وَ اسْتَأْصِلْ مَنْ جَحَدَ حَقَّهُ وَ اسْتَهَانَ بِأَمْرِهِ وَ سَعَى فِي إِطْفَاءِ نُورِهِ وَ أَرَادَ إِخْمَادَ ذِكْرِهِ

O Allah^-azwj! Humiliate all who oppose him^-ajfj, Destroy all who show enmity toward him^-ajfj, Outwit those who plot against him^-ajfj, Uproot those who deny his^-ajfj right and belittle his^-ajfj command, and strive to extinguish his^-ajfj light, and seek to suppress his^-ajfj mention!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُصْطَفَى وَ عَلِيٍّ الْمُرْتَضَى وَ فَاطِمَةَ الزَّهْرَاءِ وَ الْحَسَنِ الرَّضِيِّ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ الْمُصَفَّى وَ جَمِيعِ أَوْصِيَاءِ مَصَابِيحِ الدُّجَى وَ أَعْلَامِ الْهُدَى وَ مَنَارِ الْتُّقَى وَ الْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَى وَ الْحَبْلِ الْمَتِينِ وَ الصِّرَاطِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww the Chosen, and Ali^-asws the nominated, and (Syeda) Fatima^-asws the radiant, and Al-Hassan^-asws the pleasing, and Al-Husayn^-asws the purified, and entirety of successors^-asws, lamps in the darkness, and the flags of guidance, and the minarets of piety, and the firmest handhold, and the unbreakable rope, and the straight path!

وَ صَلِّ عَلَى وَلِيِّكَ وَ وُلَاةِ عَهْدِكَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ وَ مُدَّ فِي أَعْمَارِهِمْ وَ زِدْ فِي آجَالِهِمْ وَ بَلِّغْهُمْ أَقْصَى آمَالِهِمْ دِيناً وَ دُنْيَا وَ آخِرَةً إِنَّكَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

And Send Salawaat upon Your^-azwj guardian, master of Your^-azwj Pact, and the Imams^-asws from his^-ajfj son^-asws, and Extend in their^-asws lifespans, and Increase in their^-asws terms, and Make them the peak of the wishes of religion and world and Hereafter, You^-azwj are Able upon all things!’

ثُمَّ ادْعُ اللَّهَ كَثِيراً وَ انْصَرِفْ مَسْعُوداً إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.

Then supplicate to Allah^-azwj a lot, and leave as fortunate, if Allah^-azwj the Exalted so Desires!’’[13]

أقول: إلى هذا انتهى ما نقلناه و أخرجناه من كتاب مصباح الزائر.

I say, ‘This is the end of what we have transmitted and extracted from the book ‘Misbah Al-Zaair’’.

وَ قَالَ الْكَفْعَمِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي مِصْبَاحِهِ رَوَى يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنِ الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِالدُّعَاءِ لِصَاحِبِ الْأَمْرِ ع بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ اللَّهُمَّ ادْفَعْ عَنْ وَلِيِّكَ وَ خَلِيفَتِكَ وَ سَاقَ الدُّعَاءَ مِثْلَ مَا مَرَّ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ هُوَ عَلَيْنَا كَبِيرٌ

And Al-Kaf’amy, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, said in his ‘Misbah’, ‘It is reported by Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman,

‘From Al-Reza^-asws, he^-asws had instructed with the supplication for Master of the Time with this supplication: – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Defend Your^-azwj guardian and Your^-azwj caliph’ – and he continued the supplication similar to what has already passed up to his^-asws words: ‘And it is grievous upon us’.

ثُمَّ أَوْرَدَ بَعْدَهُ هَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةَ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى وُلَاةِ عَهْدِهِ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ بَلِّغْهُمْ آمَالَهُمْ وَ زِدْ فِي آجَالِهِمْ وَ أَعِزَّ نَصْرَهُمْ وَ تَمِّمْ لَهُمْ مَا أَسْنَدْتَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَمْرِكَ لَهُمْ وَ ثَبِّتْ دَعَائِمَهُمْ وَ اجْعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَعْوَاناً وَ عَلَى دِينِكَ أَنْصَاراً

Then he referred this Ziyarat after it – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon masters of Your^-azwj Pact and the Imams^-asws from after him^-saww, and Make them^-asws reach their wishes, and Increase in their^-asws terms, and Strengthen their^-asws victory, and Complete for them^-asws what You^-azwj have Attributed to them^-asws from Your^-azwj Command for them^-asws, and Affirm their^-asws supports, and Make us supporters of theirs^-asws and helpers upon Your^-azwj religion!

فَإِنَّهُمْ مَعَادِنُ كَلِمَاتِكَ وَ خُزَّانُ عِلْمِكَ وَ أَرْكَانُ تَوْحِيدِكَ وَ دَعَائِمُ دِينِكَ وَ وُلَاةُ أَمْرِكَ وَ خَالِصَتُكَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ وَ صَفْوَتُكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ أَوْلِيَاؤُكَ وَ سَلَائِلُ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ صَفْوَةُ أَوْلَادِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ‏.

They^-asws are mines of Your^-azwj Words, and treasurers of Your^-azwj Knowledge, and foundations of Your^-azwj Tawheed, and pillars of Your^-azwj religion, and masters of Your^-azwj Commands, and Your^-azwj sincere ones from Your^-azwj servants, and Your^-azwj elites from Your^-azwj creatures, and Your^-azwj guardians, and offsprings of Your^-azwj guardians, and elite children of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, and the greeting be upon them^-asws, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’’[14]

وَ أَقُولُ وَجَدْتُ فِي نُسْخَةٍ قَدِيمَةٍ مِنْ مُؤَلَّفَاتِ أَصْحَابِنَا مَا هَذَا لَفْظُهُ‏ اسْتِئْذَانٌ عَلَى السِّرْدَابِ الْمُقَدَّسِ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع

And I say, ‘I found in an ancient copy from compilations of our companions, what this is its wording of seeking the permission to (enter) the Holy Basement, and the Imams^-asws: –

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هَذِهِ بُقْعَةٌ طَهَّرْتَهَا وَ عَقْوَةٌ شَرَّفْتَهَا وَ مَعَالِمُ زَكَّيْتَهَا حَيْثُ أَظْهَرْتَ فِيهَا أَدِلَّةَ التَّوْحِيدِ وَ أَشْبَاحَ الْعَرْشِ الْمَجِيدِ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْتَهُمْ مُلُوكاً لِحِفْظِ النِّظَامِ وَ اخْتَرْتَهُمْ رُؤَسَاءَ لِجَمِيعِ الْأَنَامِ وَ بَعَثْتَهُمْ لِقِيَامِ الْقِسْطِ فِي ابْتِدَاءِ الْوُجُودِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

‘O Allah^-azwj! This is a spot You^-azwj have Purified, and a region You^-azwj have Honoured, and landmarks You^-azwj have Sanctified, where You^-azwj Manifested the signs of Divine Oneness and the shadows of the Glorious Throne, those whom You^-azwj Chose as kings to preserve order and Selected as leaders over all creation. You^-azwj Sent them^-asws to establish justice from the beginning of existence up to the Day of Qiyamah!

ثُمَّ مَنَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِاسْتِنَابَةِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ لِحِفْظِ شَرَائِعِكَ وَ أَحْكَامِكَ فَأَكْمَلْتَ بِاسْتِخْلَافِهِمْ رِسَالَةَ الْمُنْذِرِينَ كَمَا أَوْجَبْتَ رِئَاسَتَهُمْ فِي فِطَرِ الْمُكَلَّفِينَ

Then You^-azwj Bestowed upon them the Favour of appointing Your^-azwj Prophets^-as with their^-asws deputies to preserve Your^-azwj Laws and Rulings, and through their^-asws succession, You^-azwj Completed the mission of the Warners, just as You^-azwj Made their^-asws leadership obligatory in the natural disposition of the accountable beings!

فَسُبْحَانَكَ مِنْ إِلَهٍ مَا أَرْأَفَكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ مِنْ مَلِكٍ مَا أَعْدَلَكَ حَيْثُ طَابَقَ صُنْعُكَ مَا فَطَرْتَ عَلَيْهِ الْعُقُولَ وَ وَافَقَ حُكْمُكَ مَا قَرَّرْتَهُ فِي الْمَعْقُولِ وَ الْمَنْقُولِ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى تَقْدِيرِكَ الْحَسَنَ الْجَمِيلَ

Glory be to You^-azwj, how Compassionate You^-azwj are, and there is no god except You^-azwj! How Just You^-azwj are as Your^-azwj creatures aligns perfectly with the innate disposition You^-azwj Instilled in minds, and Your^-azwj Judgment conforms to what is affirmed by reason and transmission. For You^-azwj is the Praise upon Your^-azwj Determination, the excellent, the beautiful!

وَ لَكَ الشُّكْرُ عَلَى قَضَائِكَ الْمُعَلَّلِ بِأَكْمَلِ التَّعْلِيلِ فَسُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يُسْأَلُ عَنْ فِعْلِهِ وَ لَا يُنَازَعُ فِي أَمْرِهِ وَ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ‏ كَتَبَ عَلى‏ نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ قَبْلَ ابْتِدَاءِ خَلْقِهِ

And for You^-azwj is the gratitude upon Your^-azwj Decrees justified with the most complete reasoning. So, Glory be to the One Who is not questioned about His^-azwj Actions, and Whose Command is not challenged! Glory be to the One Who Prescribed Mercy upon Himself^-azwj before the beginning of His^-azwj creation!

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي مَنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِحُكَّامٍ يَقُومُونَ مَقَامَهُ لَوْ كَانَ حَاضِراً فِي الْمَكَانِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الَّذِي شَرَّفَنَا بِأَوْصِيَاءَ يَحْفَظُونَ الشَّرَائِعَ فِي كُلِّ الْأَزْمَانِ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ الَّذِي أَظْهَرَهُمْ لَنَا بِمُعْجِزَاتٍ يَعْجِزُ عَنْهَا الثَّقَلَانِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي أَجْرَانَا عَلَى عَوَائِدِهِ الْجَمِيلَةِ فِي الْأُمَمِ السَّالِفِينَ

And the Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Conferred upon us rulers standing in his^-ajfj place if he^-ajfj had been present in the place, and there is no god except Allah^-azwj Who Ennobled us with successors^-asws protecting the laws in every era, and Allah^-azwj is Greatest Who Revealed them^-asws to us with miracles the humans and Jinn were unable from these, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah^-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent Who has Carried us along by His^-azwj beautiful customs as He^-azwj did with the past nations!

اللَّهُمَّ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ الثَّنَاءُ الْعَلِيُّ كَمَا وَجَبَ لِوَجْهِكَ الْبَقَاءُ السَّرْمَدِيُّ وَ كَمَا جَعَلْتَ نَبِيَّنَا خَيْرَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ مُلُوكَنَا أَفْضَلَ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ وَ اخْتَرْتَهُمْ‏ عَلى‏ عِلْمٍ عَلَى الْعالَمِينَ‏ وَفِّقْنَا لِلسَّعْيِ إِلَى أَبْوَابِهِمُ الْعَامِرَةِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise and the exalted laudation just as is obligated for Your^-azwj Face, the ever-lasting, the eternal, and just as You^-azwj Made our Prophet^-saww best of the Prophets^-as and our kings as best of the created beings, and Chose them^-asws based upon knowledge, over the worlds, and Harmonised us for the striving to their^-asws commanded doors up to the Day of religion (Reckoning)!

وَ اجْعَلْ أَرْوَاحَنَا تَحِنُّ إِلَى مَوْطِنِ أَقْدَامِهِمْ وَ نُفُوسَنَا تَهْوَى النَّظَرَ إِلَى مَجَالِسِهِمْ وَ عَرَصَاتِهِمْ حَتَّى كَأَنَّنَا نُخَاطِبُهُمْ فِي حُضُورِ أَشْخَاصِهِمْ فَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ سَادَةٍ غَائِبِينَ وَ مِنْ سُلَالَةٍ طَاهِرِينِ وَ مِنْ أَئِمَّةٍ مَعْصُومِينَ

And Make our souls yearn to the places of their^-asws feet, and ourselves to desire looking at their^-asws gatherings and their^-asws courtyards until it is as if we are addressing them^-asws in the presence of their^-asws persons! May Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon them^-asws being absent chiefs, and from pure lineages, and from infallible Imams^-asws!

اللَّهُمَّ فَأْذَنْ لَنَا بِدُخُولِ هَذِهِ الْعَرَصَاتِ الَّتِي اسْتَعْبَدْتَ بِزِيَارَتِهَا أَهْلَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ أَرْسِلْ دُمُوعَنَا بِخُشُوعِ الْمَهَابَةِ وَ ذَلِّلْ جَوَارِحَنَا بِذُلِّ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ وَ فَرْضِ الطَّاعَةِ حَتَّى نُقِرَّ بِمَا يَجِبُ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْأَوْصَافِ وَ نَعْتَرِفَ بِأَنَّهُمْ شُفَعَاءُ الْخَلَائِقِ إِذَا نُصِبَتِ الْمَوَازِينُ فِي يَوْمِ الْأَعْرَافِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ سَلامٌ عَلى‏ عِبادِهِ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفى‏ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Permit for us to enter these courtyards which You^-azwj have Enslaved people of the earths and the skies to visit them^-asws, and Flow our tears with fearfulness of the awe, and Humble our limbs with humbleness of the worship and obligated obedience until we accept what is obligated for them of the description, and we acknowledge that they^-asws are intercessors of the creatures when You^-azwj Set up the scales during the Day of the heights, and the Praise is for Allah^-azwj, and greeting be upon His^-azwj servants, those who are chosen, Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww pure Progeny^-asws!’

ثُمَّ قَبِّلِ الْعَتَبَةَ وَ ادْخُلْ خَاشِعاً بَاكِياً فَإِنَّهُ الْإِذْنُ مِنْهُمْ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ.

Then kiss the threshold and enter fearfully, weeping, for it is the permission from them^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon them^-asws all!’’[15]

وَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ وَ الشَّهِيدُ وَ مُؤَلِّفُ الْمَزَارِ الْكَبِيرِ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي وَصْفِ زِيَارَتِهِ ع‏ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ جَدِّهِ وَ أَبِيهِ فَقِفْ عَلَى بَابِ حَرَمِهِ فَقُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا خَلِيفَةَ اللَّهِ وَ خَلِيفَةَ آبَائِهِ الْمَهْدِيِّينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَصِيَّ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ الْمَاضِينَ

And the Sheykh Al-Mufeed and Al-Shaheed, and compiler of ‘Al-Mazaar Al-Kabeer’, may Allah^-azwj Mercy them, said in description of his^-ajfj Ziyarat, ‘When you are free from visiting his^-ajfj grandfather^-asws and his^-ajfj father^-asws, stand at the door of his^-ajfj sanctuary and say, ‘The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O caliph of Allah^-azwj and caliph of his^-asws forefathers^-asws, the guided! The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O successor^-asws of the successors^-asws of the past!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حَافِظَ أَسْرَارِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا بَقِيَّةَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الصَّفْوَةِ الْمُنْتَجَبِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ الْأَنْوَارِ الزَّاهِرَةِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ الْأَعْلَامِ الْبَاهِرَةِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ الْعِتْرَةِ الطَّاهِرَةِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَعْدِنَ الْعُلُومِ النَّبَوِيَّةِ

The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O protector of secrets of Lord^-azwj of the worlds! The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O remainder of Allah^-azwj from the elites, the selected! The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O son^-asws of the radiant lights! The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O son^-ajfj of the dazzling flags! The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O son^-ajfj of the family, the pure! The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O mines of the Prophetic knowledge(s)!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا بَابَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يُؤْتَى إِلَّا مِنْهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا سَبِيلَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي مَنْ سَلَكَ غَيْرَهُ هَلَكَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نَاظِرَ شَجَرَةِ طُوبَى وَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نُورَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يُطْفَى

The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O the door of Allah^-azwj which He^-azwj cannot be accessed except from it! The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O the way of Allah^-azwj, which if one were to travel elsewhere, would be destroyed! The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O beholder of the tree of Tooba and Sidrat Al-Muntaha! The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O the Light of Allah^-azwj which does not extinguish!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي لَا تَخْفَى السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ سَلَامَ مَنْ عَرَفَكَ بِمَا عَرَّفَكَ بِهِ اللَّهُ وَ نَعَتَكَ بِبَعْضِ نُعُوتِكَ الَّتِي أَنْتَ أَهْلُهَا وَ فَوْقَهَا

The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O Divine authority of Allah^-azwj which is not hidden! The greeting be upon you^-ajfj O Divine authority of Allah^-azwj upon ones in the earth and the sky! The greeting be upon you^-ajfj, a greeting by the one who recognises you^-asws with what Allah^-azwj has Introduced you^-ajfj with and Described you^-ajfj with some of your^-ajfj attributes which you^-ajfj are rightful of, and above it!

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَى مَنْ مَضَى وَ مَنْ بَقِيَ وَ أَنَّ حِزْبَكَ هُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ وَ أَوْلِيَاءَكَ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ وَ أَعْدَاءَكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ وَ أَنَّكَ خَازِنُ كُلِّ عِلْمٍ وَ فَاتِقُ كُلِّ رَتْقٍ وَ مُحَقِّقُ كُلِّ حَقٍّ وَ مُبْطِلُ كُلِّ بَاطِلٍ

I testify you^-ajfj are the Divine authority upon the ones past and the ones remaining, and that your^-ajfj party, they are the prevailing ones, and your^-ajfj friends, they are the successful ones, and your^-ajfj enemies, they are the losing ones, and you^-ajfj are a treasurer of all knowledge, and mender of every split, and verifier of every truth and falsifier of every falsehood!

رَضِيتُكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ إِمَاماً وَ هَادِياً وَ وَلِيّاً وَ مُرْشِداً لَا أَبْتَغِي بِكَ بَدَلًا وَ لَا أَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُونِكَ وَلِيّاً

I am pleased, O my master, with you^-ajfj as an Imam^-ajfj, and a guide, and guardian, and director! I neither seek any replacement with you^-ajfj nor do I take any guardian besides you^-ajfj!

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ الْحَقُّ الثَّابِتُ الَّذِي لَا عَيْبَ فِيهِ وَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ فِيكَ حَقٌّ لَا أَرْتَابُ لِطُولِ الْغَيْبَةِ وَ بُعْدِ الْأَمَدِ وَ لَا أَتَحَيَّرُ مَعَ مَنْ جَهِلَكَ وَ جَهِلَ بِكَ مُنْتَظِرٌ مُتَوَقِّعٌ لِأَيَّامِكَ وَ أَنْتَ الشَّافِعُ الَّذِي لَا تُنَازَعُ وَ الْوَلِيُّ الَّذِي لَا تُدَافَعُ ذَخَرَكَ اللَّهُ لِنُصْرَةِ الدِّينِ وَ إِعْزَازِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الِانْتِقَامِ مِنَ الْجَاحِدِينَ الْمَارِقِينَ

I testify you^-ajfj are the affirmed truth that there is no fault in it, and that the Promise of Allah^-azwj regarding you^-ajfj is true! I have no doubts due to the prolonged occultation, and after the period, nor am I confused with the ones who ignore you^-ajfj and ignore waiting for you^-asws in anticipation of your^-ajfj days, and you^-ajfj are the intercessor who cannot be disputed, and the guardian who cannot be repelled! May Allah^-azwj Protect you^-asws for helping the religion, and honouring the Momineen, and the revenge from the rejecters, the renegades!

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ بِوَلَايَتِكَ تُقْبَلُ الْأَعْمَالُ وَ تُزَكَّى الْأَفْعَالُ وَ تُضَاعَفُ الْحَسَنَاتُ وَ تُمْحَى السَّيِّئَاتُ فَمَنْ جَاءَ بِوَلَايَتِكَ وَ اعْتَرَفَ بِإِمَامَتِكَ قُبِلَتْ أَعْمَالُهُ وَ صُدِّقَتْ أَقْوَالُهُ وَ تَضَاعَفَتْ حَسَنَاتُهُ وَ مُحِيَتْ سَيِّئَاتُهُ وَ مَنْ عَدَلَ عَنْ وَلَايَتِكَ وَ جَهِلَ مَعْرِفَتَكَ وَ اسْتَبْدَلَ بِكَ غَيْرَكَ كَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْخِرِهِ فِي النَّارِ وَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ عَمَلًا وَ لَمْ يُقِمْ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَزْناً

I testify that with Your^-azwj Wilayah, the deeds are Accepted and the actions are purified, and the good deeds are multiplied and the evil deeds are deleted! The one who comes with your^-ajfj Wilayah and acknowledges your^-ajfj Imamate, his deeds are Accepted and his words are ratified, and his good deeds are multiplied and his evil deeds are deleted, while the one who turns away from your^-ajfj Wilayah and ignores your^-ajfj recognition, replaces you^-ajfj with someone else, Allah^-azwj will Fling him upon his nostrils into the Fire, and Allah^-azwj will not Accept any deed of his, and will not Establish any weight for him on the Day of Qiyamah!

أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ وَ أُشْهِدُ مَلَائِكَتَهُ وَ أُشْهِدُكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ بِهَذَا ظَاهِرُهُ كَبَاطِنِهِ وَ سِرُّهُ كَعَلَانِيَتِهِ وَ أَنْتَ الشَّاهِدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ هُوَ عَهْدِي إِلَيْكَ وَ مِيثَاقِي لَدَيْكَ إِذْ أَنْتَ نِظَامُ الدِّينِ وَ يَعْسُوبُ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ عِزُّ الْمُوَحِّدِينَ وَ بِذَلِكَ أَمَرَنِي رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

I keep Allah^-azwj as Witness, and I keep His^-azwj Angels as witnesses, and I keep you^-ajfj, O my master, as a witness with this. Its apparent is like its esoteric and its secret is like its announcement, and you^-ajfj are the witness upon that, and it is my pact to you^-ajfj and my covenant for your^-ajfj religion when you^-ajfj are the system of religion, and leader of the pious, and honour of the unitarians, and Lord^-azwj of the worlds has Commanded me with that!

فَلَوْ تَطَاوَلَتِ الدُّهُورُ وَ تَمَادَتِ الْأَعْمَارُ لَمْ أَزْدَدْ فِيكَ إِلَّا يَقِيناً وَ لَكَ إِلَّا حُبّاً وَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا مُتَّكَلًا وَ مُعْتَمَداً وَ لِظُهُورِكَ إِلَّا مُتَوَقَّعاً وَ مُنْتَظَراً وَ لِجِهَادِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ مُتَرَقَّباً فَأَبْذُلَ نَفْسِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ جَمِيعَ مَا خَوَّلَنِي رَبِّي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ التَّصَرُّفَ بَيْنَ أَمْرِكَ وَ نَهْيِكَ

Even if the ages were to prolong and the lifespans extended, it will not increase me regarding you^-ajfj except conviction, and except love for you^-ajfj, and except reliance upon you^-ajfj and dependency, and except anticipation for your^-ajfj appearance and waiting, and drawing closer for my battle in front of you^-ajfj so I can expend my soul (life), and my wealth, and my children, and my family, and entirety of what my Lord^-azwj has Bestowed me, in front of you^-ajfj, and the disposition between your^-ajfj orders and your^-ajfj prohibitions!

مَوْلَايَ فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ أَيَّامَكَ الزَّاهِرَةَ وَ أَعْلَامَكَ الْبَاهِرَةَ فَهَا أَنَا ذَا عَبْدُكَ الْمُتَصَرِّفُ بَيْنَ أَمْرِكَ وَ نَهْيِكَ أَرْجُو بِهِ الشَّهَادَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ الْفَوْزَ لَدَيْكَ

My master! If I were to come across your^-ajfj radiant days, and your^-ajfj dazzling signs, so here I am, your^-ajfj servant disposing between your^-ajfj orders and your^-ajfj prohibitions hoping by it the martyrdom in front of you^-ajfj, and the success with you^-ajfj!

مَوْلَايَ فَإِنْ أَدْرَكَنِيَ الْمَوْتُ قَبْلَ ظُهُورِكَ فَإِنِّي أَتَوَسَّلُ بِكَ وَ بِآبَائِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ أَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ لِي كَرَّةً فِي ظُهُورِكَ وَ رَجْعَةً فِي أَيَّامِكَ لِأَبْلُغَ مِنْ طَاعَتِكَ مُرَادِي وَ أَشْفِيَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ فُؤَادِي

My master! If the death comes across me before your^-ajfj appearance, I hereby seek means with you^-ajfj and with your^-ajfj forefathers^-asws, the pure, to Allah^-azwj the Exalted, and I ask Him^-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Make a return to be for me during your^-ajfj appearance and a return in your^-ajfj days, so I can reach my purpose of obeying you^-ajfj and heal my heart from your^-ajfj enemies!

مَوْلَايَ وَقَفْتُ فِي زِيَارَتِكَ مَوْقِفَ الْخَاطِئِينَ النَّادِمِينَ الْخَائِفِينَ مِنْ عِقَابِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ قَدِ اتَّكَلْتُ عَلَى شَفَاعَتِكَ وَ رَجَوْتُ بِمُوَالاتِكَ وَ شَفَاعَتِكَ مَحْوَ ذُنُوبِي وَ سَتْرَ عُيُوبِي وَ مَغْفِرَةَ زَلَلِي

My master! I have paused in visiting you^-ajfj a pausing by the wrongdoers, the remorseful, the fearful from Punishment of Lord^-azwj of the worlds, and I have relied upon your^-ajfj intercession, and have hoped for your^-ajfj Wilayah and your^-ajfj intercession for deletion of my sins, and concealment of my faults, and Forgiveness for my slips!

فَكُنْ لِوَلِيِّكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ عِنْدَ تَحْقِيقِ أَمَلِهِ وَ اسْأَلِ اللَّهَ غُفْرَانَ زَلَلِهِ فَقَدْ تَعَلَّقَ بِحَبْلِكَ وَ تَمَسَّكَ بِوَلَايَتِكَ وَ تَبَرَّأَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ

O my Master! Be for your^-ajfj friend at the realisation of his wishes and ask Allah^-azwj for the Forgiveness of his slips for he has attached with your^-ajfj rope and has adhered with your^-ajfj and has disavowed from your^-ajfj enemies!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَنْجِزْ لِوَلِيِّكَ مَا وَعَدْتَهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Fulfil for Your^-azwj guardian what You^-azwj have Promised him^-ajfj!

اللَّهُمَّ أَظْهِرْ كَلِمَتَهُ وَ أَعْلِ دَعْوَتَهُ وَ انْصُرْهُ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ وَ عَدُوِّكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Manifest his^-ajfj word, and Elevate his^-ajfj call, and Help him^-ajfj against his^-ajfj enemies and Your^-azwj enemies, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds!

O Allah^-azwj! Through him^-ajfj Fill the earth with justice and fairness just as it would have been filled with injustice and tyranny, You^-azwj are Hearing, Responding!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ ائْذَنْ لِوَلِيِّكَ فِي الدُّخُولِ إِلَى حَرَمِكَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى آبَائِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

‏ ثُمَّ ائْتِ سِرْدَابَ الْغَيْبَةِ وَ قِفْ بَيْنَ الْبَابَيْنِ مَاسِكاً جَانِبَ الْبَابِ بِيَدِكَ ثُمَّ تَنَحْنَحْ كَالْمُسْتَأْذِنِ وَ سَمِّ وَ انْزِلْ وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّكِينَةُ وَ الْوَقَارُ وَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي عَرْصَةِ السِّرْدَابِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدانا لِهذا.

Then come to the basement of the occultation and pause in front of the two doors holding a side of the door with your hand, then hem like the seeker of permission, and name (Bismillah), and descend, and upon you should be the calmness and the dignity, and pray two units Salat in the courtyard of the basement and say, ‘Allah^-azwj is Greatest! Allah^-azwj is Greatest, and for Allah^-azwj is the Praise! The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who has Guided us to this!’’[16]

أقول: و ساقوا الزيارة و الصلاة و الدعاء مثل ما أوردناه سابقا برواية السيد إلى قوله و انفعني بحبهم يا رب العالمين.

I say, ‘And they continued the Ziyarat and the Salawaat, and the supplication similar to what we have referred to previously by the report of the Seyyid up to his words, ‘And Benefit me with their^-asws love, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds!’’

ثُمَّ قَالُوا قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ أَرْوَاحَهُمْ وَ رُوِيَ بِطَرِيقٍ آخَرَ أَنْ تَقُولَ عِنْدَ نُزُولِ السِّرْدَابِ‏ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْحَقِّ الْجَدِيدِ وَ سَاقُوا مِثْلَ مَا مَرَّ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ الْأَخْذَ بِيَدِي فِي دِينِي وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي لِي وَ لِكَافَّةِ إِخْوَانِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ إِنَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ

Then they, may Allah^-azwj Sanctify their souls, said, ‘And it is reported by another path that you should say at descending into the basement, ‘The greeting be upon the new truth’, and they continued similar to what has passed up to his words, ‘And the holding my hand in my religion and my world and my Hereafter for me, and for all of my brethren, the believing men and the believing women, He^-azwj is Forgiving, Merciful, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon our chief Muhammad^-saww, Rasool-Allah^-saww, and his^-saww pure Progeny^-asws!’

Then pray Salat of the Ziyarat of twelve units, every two units with a ‘Salaam’, then supplicate after it with the supplication reported from him^-asws, and it is: –

‘O Allah^-azwj! The afflictions have magnified, and the fear has become severe, and the covering is removed, and the earth is constricted, and the sky has prevented, and to You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, is the complaint, and upon You^-azwj is the reliance during the hardship and the ease!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الَّذِينَ فَرَضْتَ عَلَيْنَا طَاعَتَهُمْ فَعَرَّفْتَنَا بِذَلِكَ مَنْزِلَتَهُمْ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, those whom, obedience to them^-asws You^-azwj have obligated upon us, so You^-azwj Introduced to us with that of their^-asws status!

فَرِّجْ عَنَّا بِحَقِّهِمْ فَرَجاً عَاجِلًا كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ أَوْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ‏ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا عَلِيُّ يَا عَلِيُّ يَا مُحَمَّدُ انْصُرَانِي فَإِنَّكُمَا نَاصِرَايَ وَ اكْفِيَانِي فَإِنَّكُمَا كَافِيَايَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا صَاحِبَ الزَّمَانِ الْغَوْثَ الْغَوْثَ الْغَوْثَ أَدْرِكْنِي أَدْرِكْنِي أَدْرِكْنِي.

By their^-asws rights, Relieve for us with an immediate relief like the blink of an eye or even closer (faster) than that! O Muhammad^-saww, O Ali^-asws! O Ali^-asws, O Muhammad^-saww! Help me for both of you^-asws are my helpers, and suffice me for you^-asws are sufficient for me! O my master, O Master of the Time! The help, the help, the help! Rescue me, rescue me, rescue me!’’[17]

اصْطَفَاكُمْ بِعِلْمِهِ وَ ارْتَضَاكُمْ لِغَيْبِهِ‏ وَ اخْتَارَكُمْ لِسِرِّهِ وَ اجْتَبَاكُمْ بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ أَعَزَّكُمْ بِهُدَاهُ وَ خَصَّكُمْ بِبُرْهَانِهِ وَ انْتَجَبَكُمْ لِنُورِهِ وَ أَيَّدَكُمْ بِرُوحِهِ وَ رَضِيَكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ فِي أَرْضِهِ

He^-azwj Chose you^-asws with His^-azwj Knowledge, and was Pleased with you^-asws for His^-azwj unseen matters, and Selected you^-asws with His^-azwj Power, and Honoured you^-asws with His^-azwj Guidance, and Specialised you^-asws with His^-azwj proofs, and Selected you^-asws for His^-azwj Noor, and Supported you^-asws with His^-azwj Spirit, and was Pleased with you^-asws as caliphs in His^-azwj earth!

وَ حُجَجاً عَلَى بَرِيَّتِهِ وَ أَنْصَاراً لِدِينِهِ وَ حَفَظَةً لِسِرِّهِ وَ خَزَنَةً لِعِلْمِهِ وَ مُسْتَوْدَعاً لِحِكْمَتِهِ وَ تَرَاجِمَةً لِوَحْيِهِ وَ أَرْكَاناً لِتَوْحِيدِهِ وَ شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ وَ أَعْلَاماً لِعِبَادِهِ وَ مَنَاراً فِي بِلَادِهِ وَ أَدِلَّاءَ عَلَى صِرَاطِهِ

And as Divine authorities upon His^-azwj created beings, and as helpers for His^-azwj religion, and protectors of His^-azwj secrets, and treasurers of His^-azwj Knowledge, and depositories of His^-azwj Wisdom, and interpreters of His^-azwj Revelation, and cornerstones of His^-azwj Oneness, and witnesses upon His^-azwj creatures, and flags for His^-azwj servants, and minarets in His^-azwj land, and pointers to His^-azwj path!

عَصَمَكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الزَّلَلِ وَ آمَنَكُمْ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ وَ طَهَّرَكُمْ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَ أَذْهَبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ طَهَّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيراً فَعَظَّمْتُمْ جَلَالَهُ وَ أَكْبَرْتُمْ شَأْنَهُ وَ مَجَّدْتُمْ كَرَمَهُ وَ أَدَمْتُمْ ذِكْرَهُ وَ وَكَّدْتُمْ مِيثَاقَهُ وَ أَحْكَمْتُمْ عَقْدَ طَاعَتِهِ

Allah^-azwj Fortified you^-asws from any slips, and Secured you^-asws from the Fitna, and Purified you^-asws from the (traces) of impurities, Kept the uncleanness away from you^-asws and Purified you^-asws a purification! You^-asws magnified His^-azwj Majesty, and exclaimed the Greatness of His^-azwj Glory, and glorified His^-azwj Benevolence, and were constant in His^-azwj Zikr, and emphasised His^-azwj Covenant, and instructed in believing in obeying Him^-azwj!

وَ نَصَحْتُمْ لَهُ فِي السِّرِّ وَ الْعَلَانِيَةِ وَ دَعَوْتُمْ إِلَى سَبِيلِهِ‏ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَ بَذَلْتُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ فِي مَرْضَاتِهِ وَ صَبَرْتُمْ عَلَى مَا أَصَابَكُمْ فِي جَنْبِهِ وَ أَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَ آتَيْتُمُ الزَّكَاةَ وَ أَمَرْتُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ نَهَيْتُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ جَاهَدْتُمْ فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ حَتَّى أَعْلَنْتُمْ دَعْوَتَهُ وَ بَيَّنْتُمْ فَرَائِضَهُ

And advised for Him^-azwj in the secret and the openness, and called to His^-azwj way with the wisdom and the excellent preaching, and exerted yourselves^-asws in His^-azwj Pleasure, and were patient upon what afflicted you^-asws for His^-azwj Sake, and you^-asws established the Salat and gave the Zakat, and instructed with the good and forbade from the evil, and fought for the Sake of Allah^-azwj as is the right of fighting it until you^-asws announced His^-azwj Call and explained His^-azwj obligations!

وَ أَقَمْتُمْ حُدُودَهُ وَ نَشَرْتُمْ‏ شَرَائِعَ أَحْكَامِهِ وَ سَنَنْتُمْ سُنَّتَهُ وَ صِرْتُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ إِلَى الرِّضَا وَ سَلَّمْتُمْ لَهُ الْقَضَاءَ وَ صَدَّقْتُمْ مِنْ رُسُلِهِ مَنْ مَضَى

And you^-asws established His^-azwj legal penalties, and spread (interpreted) the laws of His^-azwj Rulings, and conducted with His^-azwj Sunnah, and came in that to the Pleasure from Him^-azwj, and submitted to Him^-azwj of the Decree, and ratified the ones past from His^-azwj Messengers^-as!

فَالرَّاغِبُ عَنْكُمْ مَارِقٌ وَ اللَّازِمُ لَكُمْ لَاحِقٌ وَ الْمُقَصِّرُ فِي حَقِّكُمْ زَاهِقٌ وَ الْحَقُّ مَعَكُمْ وَ فِيكُمْ وَ مِنْكُمْ وَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُهُ وَ مَعْدِنُهُ وَ مِيرَاثُ النُّبُوَّةِ عِنْدَكُمْ وَ إِيَابُ الْخَلْقِ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ حِسَابُهُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ فَصْلُ الْخِطَابِ عِنْدَكُمْ وَ آيَاتُ اللَّهِ لَدَيْكُمْ وَ عَزَائِمُهُ فِيكُمْ وَ نُورُهُ وَ بُرْهَانُهُ عِنْدَكُمْ وَ أَمْرُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ

The one turning away from you^-asws is a renegade and the one sticking to you^-asws is rightly guided. Whoever neglects your^-asws rights is perished. The truth is with you^-asws, in you, from you^-asws, and returns to you^-asws. You^-asws are its people, its source. The inheritance of Prophethood is with you^-asws, and the return of all creation is to you^-asws, and their reckoning is upon you^-asws, and the final judgment is with you^-asws, and the signs of Allah^-azwj are with you^-asws, and His^-azwj firm Commands are with you^-asws, and His^-azwj Noor and His^-azwj proofs are with you^-asws, and His^-azwj Command is to you^-asws!

مَنْ وَالاكُمْ فَقَدْ وَالَى اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ عَادَاكُمْ فَقَدْ عَادَى اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّكُمْ فَقَدْ أَحَبَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَكُمْ فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَ اللَّهَ وَ مَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِكُمْ فَقَدِ اعْتَصَمَ بِاللَّهِ

One who befriends you has befriended Allah^-azwj and the one who is inimical to you^-asws has been inimical to Allah^-azwj, and one who loves you^-asws has loved Allah^-azwj and the one who hates you^-asws has hated Allah^-azwj, and one who adheres with you^-asws has adhered with Allah^-azwj! 

أَنْتُمْ السَّبِيلُ الْأَعْظَمُ وَ الصِّرَاطُ الْأَقْوَمُ وَ شُهَدَاءُ دَارِ الْفَنَاءِ وَ شُفَعَاءُ دَارِ الْبَقَاءِ وَ الرَّحْمَةُ الْمَوْصُولَةُ وَ الْآيَةُ الْمَخْزُونَةُ وَ الْأَمَانَةُ الْمَحْفُوظَةُ وَ الْبَابُ الْمُبْتَلَى بِهِ النَّاسُ مَنْ أَتَاكُمْ فَقَدْ نَجَا وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ فَقَدْ هَلَكَ

You^-asws are the mighty way, and the straightest path, and witnesses in the temporal house and intercessors in the ever-lasting house, and the connected Mercy, and the treasured sign, and the preserved entrustment, and door the people are tested! One who comes to you^-asws is saved, and one who does not come to you is destroyed!

إِلَى اللَّهِ تَدْعُونَ وَ عَلَيْهِ‏ تَدُلُّونَ وَ بِهِ تُؤْمِنُونَ وَ لَهُ تُسَلِّمُونَ وَ بِأَمْرِهِ تَعْمَلُونَ وَ إِلَى سَبِيلِهِ تُرْشِدُونَ وَ بِقَوْلِهِ تَحْكُمُونَ

You^-asws call to Allah^-azwj, and guide towards Him^-azwj, and believe in Him^-azwj, and submit to Him^-azwj, and act by His^-azwj Command, and direct others to His^-azwj path, and judge by His^-azwj Word.

سَعِدَ وَ اللَّهِ مَنْ وَالاكُمْ وَ هَلَكَ مَنْ عَادَاكُمْ وَ خَابَ مَنْ جَحَدَكُمْ وَ ذَلَّ مَنْ فَارَقَكُمْ وَ فَازَ مَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِكُمْ وَ أَمِنَ مَنْ لَجَأَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ سَلِمَ مَنْ صَدَّقَكُمْ وَ هُدِيَ مَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِكُمْ

By Allah^-azwj! Fortunate is the one who shows loyalty to you^-asws, destroyed is the one who opposes you^-asws, lost is the one who denies you^-asws, humiliated is the one who separates from you^-asws, successful is the one who holds firmly to you^-asws, safe is the one who seeks refuge with you^-asws, secure is the one who believes you^-asws, and guided is the one who clings to you^-asws!

مَنِ اتَّبَعَكُمْ فَالْجَنَّةُ مَأْوَاهُ وَ مَنْ خَالَفَكُمْ فَالنَّارُ مَثْوَاهُ وَ مَنْ جَحَدَكُمْ كَافِرٌ وَ مَنْ حَارَبَكُمْ مُشْرِكٌ وَ مَنْ رَدَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي أَسْفَلِ دَرْكٍ مِنَ الْجَحِيمِ

One who follows you^-asws, the Paradise is his abode, and one who opposes you^-asws, the Fire is his dwelling, and one who rejects you^-asws is a Kafir, and one who battles you^-asws is a Polytheists, and one who rejects you^-asws will be in lowest lever of the Blazing Fire!

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ هَذَا سَابِقٌ لَكُمْ فِيمَا مَضَى وَ جَارٍ لَكُمْ فِيمَا بَقِيَ وَ أَنَّ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ وَ نُورَكُمْ وَ طِينَتَكُمْ وَاحِدَةٌ طَابَتْ وَ طَهُرَتْ بَعْضُهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ

I testify that this has been destined for you^-asws in the past and continues for you^-asws in what remains, and that your^-asws souls, your^-asws light, and your^-asws essence are one pure and purified, each part from the other.

خَلَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ أَنْوَاراً فَجَعَلَكُمْ بِعَرْشِهِ مُحْدِقِينَ حَتَّى مَنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِكُمْ فَجَعَلَكُمْ‏ فِي بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تُرْفَعَ وَ يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اسْمُهُ‏ وَ جَعَلَ صَلَوَاتِنَا عَلَيْكُمْ وَ مَا خَصَّنَا بِهِ مِنْ وَلَايَتِكُمْ طِيباً لِخَلْقِنَا وَ طَهَارَةً لِأَنْفُسِنَا وَ تَزْكِيَةً لَنَا وَ كَفَّارَةً لِذُنُوبِنَا

Allah^-azwj Created you^-asws as Noor(s), so He^-azwj Made you^-asws surround His^-azwj Throne until He^-azwj Conferred upon us with you^-asws, so He^-azwj Made you^-asws to be in household Allah^-azwj has Permitted to be raised and His^-azwj Name mentioned in these, and Made our Salawaat upon you^-asws and whatever we have been particularised with of your^-asws Wilayah, as good for our creation, and Purified ourselves, and as a purifier for us, and an atonement for our sins!

فَكُنَّا عِنْدَهُ مُسَلِّمِينَ‏ بِفَضْلِكُمْ وَ مَعْرُوفِينَ بِتَصْدِيقِنَا إِيَّاكُمْ فَبَلَغَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ أَشْرَفَ مَحَلِّ الْمُكَرَّمِينَ وَ أَعْلَى مَنَازِلِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ أَرْفَعَ دَرَجَاتِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ حَيْثُ لَا يَلْحَقُهُ لَاحِقٌ وَ لَا يَفُوقُهُ فَائِقٌ وَ لَا يَسْبِقُهُ سَابِقٌ وَ لَا يَطْمَعُ فِي إِدْرَاكِهِ طَامِعٌ

So, by your^-asws grace, we were in submission to Him^-azwj, and known through our belief in you^-asws. Through you^-asws, Allah^-azwj Elevated us to the most honoured station of the honoured ones, the highest ranks of the near ones, and the loftiest degrees of the Messengers^-as a place where none can reach, no superior can surpass, no forerunner can precede, and no seeker can hope to attain.

حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ وَ لَا نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ وَ لَا صِدِّيقٌ وَ لَا شَهِيدٌ وَ لَا عَالِمٌ وَ لَا جَاهِلٌ وَ لَا دَنِيٌّ وَ لَا فَاضِلٌ وَ لَا مُؤْمِنٌ صَالِحٌ وَ لَا فَاجِرٌ طَالِحٌ وَ لَا جَبَّارٌ عَنِيدٌ وَ لَا شَيْطَانٌ مَرِيدٌ وَ لَا خَلْقٌ فِيمَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ شَهِيدٌ إِلَّا عَرَّفَهُمْ جَلَالَةَ أَمْرِكُمْ وَ عِظَمَ خَطَرِكُمْ وَ كِبَرَ شَأْنِكُمْ وَ تَمَامَ نُورِكُمْ وَ صِدْقَ مَقَاعِدِكُمْ وَ ثَبَاتَ مَقَامِكُمْ وَ شَرَفَ مَحَلِّكُمْ وَ مَنْزِلَتِكُمْ عِنْدَهُ وَ كَرَامَتَكُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَ خَاصَّتَكُمْ لَدَيْهِ وَ قُرْبَ مَنْزِلَتِكُمْ مِنْهُ

Until no Angels of proximity, no Sent Prophet^-as, no truthful one, no martyr, no scholar, no ignorant one, no lowly nor noble, no righteous believer nor wicked sinner, no tyrant nor rebellious devil, and no being in between remains except that Allah^-azwj Made known to them the majesty of your^-asws position, the greatness of your^-asws rank, the vastness of your^-asws station, the perfection of your^-asws Light, the truth of your^-asws standing, the firmness of your^-asws status, the nobility of your^-asws place, your^-asws rank with Him^-azwj, your^-asws honour before Him^-azwj, your^-asws exceptional standing with Him^-azwj, and your^-asws closeness to Him^-azwj.

بِأَبِي أَنْتُمْ وَ أُمِّي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ أُسْرَتِي

May my father, my mother, my family, my wealth, and my entire household be sacrificed for you^-asws!

أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ وَ أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي مُؤْمِنٌ بِكُمْ وَ بِمَا آمَنْتُمْ بِهِ كَافِرٌ بِعَدُوِّكُمْ وَ بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْ بِهِ مُسْتَبْصِرٌ بِشَأْنِكُمْ وَ بِضَلَالَةِ مَنْ خَالَفَكُمْ مُوَالٍ لَكُمْ وَ لِأَوْلِيَائِكُمْ مُبْغِضٌ لِأَعْدَائِكُمْ وَ مُعَادٍ لَهُمْ سِلْمٌ لِمَنْ سَالَمَكُمْ وَ حَرْبٌ لِمَنْ حَارَبَكُمْ

I keep Allah^-azwj as Witness and I keep you^-asws all as witnesses, I am a believer in you^-asws and in what you^-asws believe in, a disbeliever in what you^-asws disbelieve in, insightful with your^-asws glory and with the straying of the ones opposing you^-asws, and befriend to you^-asws and to your^-asws friends, a hater of your^-asws enemies and inimical to them, at peace to the one at peace with you^-asws and at war to the one at war with you^-asws!

مُحَقِّقٌ لِمَا حَقَّقْتُمْ مُبْطِلٌ لِمَا أَبْطَلْتُمْ مُطِيعٌ لَكُمْ عَارِفٌ بِحَقِّكُمْ مُقِرٌّ بِفَضْلِكُمْ مُحْتَمِلٌ لِعِلْمِكُمْ مُحْتَجِبٌ بِذِمَّتِكُمْ مُعْتَرِفٌ بِكُمْ مُؤْمِنٌ بِإِيَابِكُمْ مُصَدِّقٌ بِرَجْعَتِكُمْ مُنْتَظِرٌ لِأَمْرِكُمْ مُرْتَقِبٌ لِدَوْلَتِكُمْ آخِذٌ بِقَوْلِكُمْ عَامِلٌ بِأَمْرِكُمْ

(I am a) ratifier of what you^-asws ratified, a falsifier of what you^-asws falsified, obedient to you^-asws, recogniser of your^-asws rights, accepter of your^-asws merits, bearer of your^-asws knowledge, veiled by your^-asws guarantee, acknowledging with you^-asws, a believer in your^-asws comeback, a ratifier of your^-asws return, awaiting your^-asws matter, watching out for your^-asws government, taking with your^-asws words, working with your^-asws orders!

مُسْتَجِيرٌ بِكُمْ زَائِرٌ لَكُمْ عَائِذٌ بِكُمْ لَائِذٌ بِقُبُورِكُمْ مُسْتَشْفِعٌ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِكُمْ وَ مُتَقَرِّبٌ بِكُمْ إِلَيْهِ وَ مُقَدِّمُكُمْ أَمَامَ طَلِبَتِي وَ حَوَائِجِي وَ إِرَادَتِي فِي كُلِّ أَحْوَالِي وَ أُمُورِي مُؤْمِنٌ بِسِرِّكُمْ وَ عَلَانِيَتِكُمْ وَ شَاهِدِكُمْ وَ غَائِبِكُمْ وَ أَوَّلِكُمْ وَ آخِرِكُمْ

(I am) seeking shelter with you^-asws, a visitor to you^-asws, taking refuge with your^-asws graves, seeking intercession to Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic through you^-asws, and drawing closer through you^-asws to Him^-azwj and place you^-asws forward in front of my request and my needs and my wants in all of my situations and my affairs, a believer in your^-asws secrets and your^-asws announcements, and your^-asws present ones and your^-asws absents, and your^-asws first one and your^-asws last one!

وَ مُفَوِّضٌ فِي ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ مُسَلِّمٌ فِيهِ مَعَكُمْ وَ قَلْبِي لَكُمْ مُسَلِّمٌ وَ رَأْيِي لَكُمْ تَبَعٌ وَ نُصْرَتِي لَكُمْ مُعَدَّةٌ حَتَّى يُحْيِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى دِينَهُ بِكُمْ وَ يَرُدَّكُمْ فِي أَيَّامِهِ وَ يُظْهِرَكُمْ لِعَدْلِهِ وَ يُمَكِّنَكُمْ فِي أَرْضِهِ فَمَعَكُمْ مَعَكُمْ لَا مَعَ عَدُوِّكُمْ

And (I am a) delegator in all of that to you^-asws, and a submitter in it with you^-asws, and my heart is submissive to you^-asws, and my opinion is a follower of you^-asws, and my help is ready for you^-asws until Allah^-azwj the Exalted Revives His^-azwj religion through you^-asws and Returns you^-asws all during his^-ajfj days, and Reveals you^-asws for His^-azwj Justice, and Enables you in His^-azwj earth! With you^-asws, with you^-asws, not with your^-asws enemies!

آمَنْتُ بِكُمْ وَ تَوَلَّيْتُ آخِرَكُمْ بِمَا تَوَلَّيْتُ بِهِ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَ بَرِئْتُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكُمْ وَ مِنَ الْجِبْتِ وَ الطَّاغُوتِ وَ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَ حِزْبِهِمُ الظَّالِمِينَ لَكُمْ وَ الْجَاحِدِينَ لِحَقِّكُمْ وَ الْمَارِقِينَ مِنْ وَلَايَتِكُمْ وَ الْغَاصِبِينَ لِإِرْثِكُمْ وَ الشَّاكِّينَ فِيكُمْ وَ الْمُنْحَرِفِينَ عَنْكُمْ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ وَلِيجَةٍ دُونَكُمْ وَ كُلِّ مُطَاعٍ سِوَاكُمْ وَ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى النَّارِ

I am a believer in you^-asws and have befriended your^-asws last one with what I had befriended your^-asws first one and disavowed to Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic from your^-asws enemies and from the false gods and the tyrants, and the Satans^-la and their^-la parties, the oppressors of your^-asws, and the rejecters of your^-asws rights, and the renegades from your^-asws Wilayah, and the usurpers of your^-asws inheritance, and the doubters in you^-asws, and the deviators away from you^-asws, and from every confidants apart from you^-asws, and every obeyed ones apart from you^-asws, and from the imams, those who are calling to the Fire!

فَثَبَّتَنِيَ اللَّهُ أَبَداً مَا حَيِيتُ عَلَى مُوَالاتِكُمْ وَ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ وَ دِينِكُمْ وَ وَفَّقَنِي لِطَاعَتِكُمْ وَ رَزَقَنِي شَفَاعَتَكُمْ وَ جَعَلَنِي مِنْ خِيَارِ مَوَالِيكُمُ التَّابِعِينَ لِمَا دَعَوْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ وَ جَعَلَنِي مِمَّنْ يَقْتَصُّ آثَارَكُمْ وَ يَسْلُكُ سَبِيلَكُمْ وَ يَهْتَدِي بِهُدَاكُمْ

May Allah^-azwj Affirm me forever, for as long as I live, be upon your^-asws Wilayah,  and your^-asws love, and your religion, and Harmonise me to obey you^-asws, and Provide me your^-asws intercession, and Make me from your^-asws good friends, the follower of what you^-asws called to, and Make me from the ones following your^-asws impacts and travel your^-asws ways, and be guided with your^-asws guidance!

وَ يُحْشَرُ فِي زُمْرَتِكُمْ وَ يَكُرُّ فِي رَجْعَتِكُمْ وَ يُمَلَّكُ فِي دَوْلَتِكُمْ وَ يُشَرَّفُ فِي عَافِيَتِكُمْ وَ يُمَكَّنُ فِي أَيَّامِكُمْ وَ تَقَرُّ عَيْنُهُ غَداً بِرُؤْيَتِكُمْ

And may He^-azwj Gather me in your^-asws group, and Bring me back during your^-asws return, and be given authority in your^-asws government, and ennobled in your^-asws well-being, and enabled during your^-asws days, and delight his^-ajfj eyes tomorrow with sighting you^-asws all!

بِأَبِي أَنْتُمْ وَ أُمِّي وَ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي مَنْ أَرَادَ اللَّهَ بَدَأَ بِكُمْ وَ مَنْ وَحَّدَهُ قَبِلَ عَنْكُمْ وَ مَنْ قَصَدَهُ تَوَجَّهَ بِكُمْ

May my father and my mother and my family, and my wealth be (sacrificed for) you^-asws! One who wants Allah^-azwj should begin with you^-asws, and one who declares His^-azwj Oneness should accept from you^-asws, and one who aims for Him^-azwj should divert through you^-asws!

مَوَالِيَّ لَا أُحْصِي ثَنَاءَكُمْ وَ لَا أَبْلُغُ مِنَ الْمَدْحِ كُنْهَكُمْ وَ مِنَ الْوَصْفِ قَدْرَكُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ نُورُ الْأَخْيَارِ وَ هُدَاةُ الْأَبْرَارِ وَ حُجَجُ الْجَبَّارِ

My masters! I cannot count your^-asws laudation nor can I reach the praise of your^-asws essence, and from describing your^-asws worth, and your^-asws are the Noor(s) of the good people and guides of the righteous, and Divine authorities of the Subduer!

بِكُمْ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ وَ بِكُمْ يَخْتِمُ وَ بِكُمْ‏ يُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ‏ وَ بِكُمْ‏ يُمْسِكُ السَّماءَ أَنْ‏ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ‏ وَ بِكُمْ يُنَفِّسُ الْهَمَّ وَ بِكُمْ يَكْشِفُ الضُّرَّ وَ عِنْدَكُمْ مَا نَزَلَتْ بِهِ رُسُلُهُ وَ هَبَطَتْ بِهِ مَلَائِكَتُهُ وَ إِلَى جَدِّكُمْ بُعِثَ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ

With you^-asws Allah^-azwj Began and with you^-asws He^-azwj will be ending, and due to you^-asws He^-azwj Sends down the rains, and by you^-asws He^-azwj Withholds the sky from falling to the earth except by His^-azwj Permission, and through you^-asws He^-azwj Relieves the worries, and through you^-asws He^-azwj Removes the harm, and in your^-asws possession is what His^-azwj Messengers^-as had come down with, and the Angels had descended with, and to your^-asws grandfather^-saww was Sent the Spirit of the Eman!’

وَ إِنْ كَانَتِ الزِّيَارَةُ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقُلْ وَ إِلَى أَخِيكَ بُعِثَ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ آتَاكُمُ اللَّهُ مَا لَمْ يُؤْتِ أَحَداً مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ طَأْطَأَ كُلُّ شَرِيفٍ لِشَرَفِكُمْ وَ بَخَعَ‏ كُلُّ مُتَكَبِّرٍ لِطَاعَتِكُمْ وَ خَضَعَ كُلُّ جَبَّارٍ لِفَضْلِكُمْ وَ ذَلَّ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ لَكُمْ وَ أَشْرَقَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِنُورِكُمْ وَ فَازَ الْفَائِزُونَ بِوَلَايَتِكُمْ بِكُمْ يُسْلَكُ إِلَى الرِّضْوَانِ وَ عَلَى مَنْ جَحَدَ وَلَايَتَكُمْ غَضَبُ الرَّحْمَنِ

And if the Ziyarat was for Amir Al-Momineen^-asws, say, ‘And to your^-saww brother was Send the trustworthy spirit! Allah^-azwj has Given you^-asws what He^-azwj has not Given anyone from the worlds, subduing every nobility to your^-asws nobilities, and submitting every arrogant one to your^-asws obedience, humbled every tyrant to your^-asws merits, and humbling all things to you^-asws, and the earth will shine with your^-asws Noor, and the successful ones will succeed through your^-asws Wilayah. Through you^-asws one travels to the (Divine) Pleasure, and upon the one who rejects your^-asws Wilayah is Wrath of the Beneficent!

بِأَبِي أَنْتُمْ وَ أُمِّي وَ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي ذِكْرُكُمْ فِي الذَّاكِرِينَ وَ أَسْمَاؤُكُمْ فِي الْأَسْمَاءِ وَ أَجْسَادُكُمْ فِي الْأَجْسَادِ وَ أَرْوَاحُكُمْ فِي الْأَرْوَاحِ وَ أَنْفُسُكُمْ فِي النُّفُوسِ وَ آثَارُكُمْ فِي الْآثَارِ وَ قُبُورُكُمْ فِي الْقُبُورِ

May my father and my mother, and I and my family and my wealth be (sacrificed for) you^-asws! You^-asws are mentioned among the mentioners, and your^-asws names are among the names, and your^-asws bodies are among the bodies, and your^-asws souls are among the souls, and your^-asws selves and among the selves, and your^-asws traces are among the traces, and your^-asws graves are among the graves!

فَمَا أَحْلَى أَسْمَاءَكُمْ وَ أَكْرَمَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَ أَعْظَمَ شَأْنَكُمْ وَ أَجَلَّ خَطَرَكُمْ وَ أَوْفَى عَهْدَكُمْ وَ أَصْدَقَ وَعْدَكُمْ كَلَامُكُمْ نُورٌ وَ أَمْرُكُمْ رُشْدٌ وَ وَصِيَّتُكُمُ التَّقْوَى وَ فِعْلُكُمُ الْخَيْرُ وَ عَادَتُكُمُ الْإِحْسَانُ وَ سَجِيَّتُكُمُ الْكَرَمُ وَ شَأْنُكُمُ الْحَقُّ وَ الصِّدْقُ وَ الرِّفْقُ وَ قَوْلُكُمْ حُكْمٌ وَ حَتْمٌ وَ رَأْيُكُمْ عِلْمٌ وَ حِلْمٌ وَ حَزْمٌ إِنْ ذُكِرَ الْخَيْرُ كُنْتُمْ أَوَّلَهُ وَ أَصْلَهُ وَ فَرْعَهُ وَ مَعْدِنَهُ وَ مَأْوَاهُ وَ مُنْتَهَاهُ

How sweet are your^-asws names, how noble are your^-asws souls, how great is your^-asws status, how immense is your^-asws worth, how loyal is your^-asws covenant, and how truthful is your^-asws promise! Your^-asws speech is Noor, your^-asws command is guidance, your^-asws will is piety, your^-asws action is goodness, your^-asws habit is kindness, your^-asws nature is generosity! Your^-asws way is truth, honesty, and gentleness. Your^-asws word is judgment and decree. Your^-asws opinion is knowledge, forbearance, and resolve. If goodness is mentioned, you^-asws are its beginning, its root, its branch, its source, its shelter, and its ultimate end!

بِأَبِي أَنْتُمْ وَ أُمِّي وَ نَفْسِي كَيْفَ أَصِفُ حُسْنَ ثَنَائِكُمْ وَ أُحْصِي جَمِيلَ بَلَائِكُمْ وَ بِكُمْ أَخْرَجَنَا اللَّهُ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ فَرَّجَ عَنَّا غَمَرَاتِ الْكُرُوبِ وَ أَنْقَذَنَا بِكُمْ مِنْ شَفَا جُرُفِ الْهَلَكَاتِ وَ مِنَ النَّارِ

May my father and my mother and myself be (sacrificed for) you^-asws! How can I describe your^-asws laudation, and count the beauty of your^-asws trials, and due to you^-asws, Allah^-azwj Extracted us from the humiliation and Relieves from us the pangs of distress, and through you^-asws Saves us from the brink of destruction and from the Fire!

بِأَبِي أَنْتُمْ وَ أُمِّي وَ نَفْسِي بِمُوَالاتِكُمْ عَلَّمَنَا اللَّهُ مَعَالِمَ دِينِنَا وَ أَصْلَحَ مَا كَانَ فَسَدَ مِنْ دُنْيَانَا وَ بِمُوَالاتِكُمْ تَمَّتِ الْكَلِمَةُ وَ عَظُمَتِ النِّعْمَةُ وَ ائْتَلَفَتِ الْفُرْقَةُ وَ بِمُوَالاتِكُمْ تُقْبَلُ الطَّاعَةُ الْمُفْتَرَضَةُ وَ لَكُمُ الْمَوَدَّةُ الْوَاجِبَةُ وَ الدَّرَجَاتُ الرَّفِيعَةُ وَ الْمَقَامُ الْمَحْمُودُ وَ الْمَكَانُ الْمَعْلُومُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الْجَاهُ الْعَظِيمُ وَ الشَّأْنُ الْكَبِيرُ وَ الشَّفَاعَةُ الْمَقْبُولَةُ

May my father and my mother and my self be (sacrificed) for you^-asws! Through your^-asws Wilayah, Allah^-azwj Taught us teachings of our religion and Corrected what had been spoilt from our world, and through your^-asws Wilayah, the Word was completed, and the bounties were magnified, and the sects came together, and through your^-asws Wilayah, the obligatory acts of obedience are Accepted, and for you^-asws is the obligated cordiality, and the lofty ranks, and the praise-worthy position, and the known place in the Presence of Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and the magnificent honour, and the great glory, and the Accepted intercession!

رَبَّنا آمَنَّا بِما أَنْزَلْتَ وَ اتَّبَعْنَا الرَّسُولَ فَاكْتُبْنا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ‏ رَبَّنا لا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنا وَ هَبْ لَنا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ‏ سُبْحانَ رَبِّنا إِنْ كانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنا لَمَفْعُولًا

Our Lord! We believe in what You have Revealed and we follow the Rasool, so Write us down with the testifiers’ [3:53] ‘Our Lord! Do not Let our hearts to deviate after You have Guided us aright, and Grant us Mercy from You; surely You are the Bestower [3:8] And they are saying: Glorious is our Lord! Surely His Promise would always be Fulfilled [17:108]!

يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذُنُوباً لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا رِضَاكُمْ فَبِحَقِّ مَنِ ائْتَمَنَكُمْ عَلَى سِرِّهِ وَ اسْتَرْعَاكُمْ أَمْرَ خَلْقِهِ وَ قَرَنَ طَاعَتَكُمْ بِطَاعَتِهِ لَمَّا اسْتَوْهَبْتُمْ ذُنُوبِي وَ كُنْتُمْ شُفَعَائِي فَإِنِّي لَكُمْ مُطِيعٌ مَنْ أَطَاعَكُمْ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ عَصَاكُمْ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّكُمْ فَقَدْ أَحَبَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَكُمْ فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَ اللَّهَ

O guardian of Allah^-azwj! Between me and Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic there are sins nothing can be removed except your^-ajfj pleasure. So, by the right of the One^-azwj Who Entrusted you with His^-azwj secrets and Made you^-asws caretakers of matters of His^-azwj creatures, and Combined the obedience to you^-asws with obedience to Him^-azwj, get my sins to be Forgiven and you^-asws be my intercessors for I am obedient to you^-asws! One who obeys you^-asws has obeyed Allah^-azwj and one who disobeys you^-asws has disobeyed Allah^-azwj, and one who loves you^-asws has loved Allah^-azwj, and one who hates you^-asws has hated Allah^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَوْ وَجَدْتُ شُفَعَاءَ أَقْرَبَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الْأَخْيَارِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْأَبْرَارِ لَجَعَلْتُهُمْ شُفَعَائِي

O Allah^-azwj! If I could have found intercessors closer to You^-azwj than Muhammad^-saww and People^-asws of his^-saww Household, the goodly, the Imams^-asws, the righteous, I would have made them my intercessors!

فَبِحَقِّهِمُ الَّذِي أَوْجَبْتَ لَهُمْ عَلَيْكَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُدْخِلَنِي فِي جُمْلَةِ الْعَارِفِينَ بِهِمْ وَ بِحَقِّهِمْ وَ فِي زُمْرَةِ الْمَرْحُومِينَ بِشَفَاعَتِهِمْ إِنَّكَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً كَثِيراً وَ حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ‏

By their^-asws right which You^-azwj have Obligated for them^-asws upon You^-azwj, I ask You^-azwj to Include me among the totality of the ones recognise them^-asws, and of their^-asws rights, and in the group of the one Mercied due to their^-asws intercession, You^-azwj are the most Merciful of the merciful ones, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww pure Progeny^-asws and abundant Greetings, and sufficient is Allah^-azwj and is the best Disposer!’

الْوَدَاعُ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ الِانْصِرَافَ فَقُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ سَلَامَ مُوَدِّعٍ لَا سَئِمٍ وَ لَا قَالٍ وَ لَا مَالٍّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ بَيْتِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ سَلَامَ وَلِيٍّ غَيْرِ رَاغِبٍ عَنْكُمْ وَ لَا مُسْتَبْدِلٍ بِكُمْ وَ لَا مُؤْثِرٍ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ لَا مُنْحَرِفٍ عَنْكُمْ وَ لَا زَاهِدٍ فِي قُرْبِكُمْ

The farewell – ‘When you intend to leave, say, ‘The greeting be upon you^-asws, a greeting of farewell, neither out of weariness, nor boredom, nor disinterest, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings be upon you^-asws, O People^-asws of the Household, He^-azwj is Praised, Glorified! A greeting of a friend without turning away, nor replacing you^-asws, nor preferring (others) over you^-asws, nor deviating from you^-asws, not abstemious regarding your^-asws closeness!

لَا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ قُبُورِكُمْ وَ إِتْيَانِ مَشَاهِدِكُمْ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ

May Allah^-azwj not Make is the last pact of visiting your^-asws graves and coming to your^-asws Mausoleums, and may the greeting be upon you^-asws!

وَ حَشَرَنِي اللَّهُ فِي زُمْرَتِكُمْ وَ أَوْرَدَنِي حَوْضَكُمْ وَ جَعَلَنِي مِنْ حِزْبِكُمْ وَ أَرْضَاكُمْ عَنِّي وَ مَكَّنَنِي مِنْ دَوْلَتِكُمْ وَ أَحْيَانِي فِي رَجْعَتِكُمْ وَ مَلَّكَنِي فِي أَيَّامِكُمْ وَ شَكَرَ سَعْيِي بِكُمْ وَ غَفَرَ ذَنْبِي بِشَفَاعَتِكُمْ وَ أَقَالَ عَثْرَتِي بِمَحَبَّتِكُمْ‏ وَ أَعْلَى كَعْبِي بِمُوَالاتِكُمْ وَ شَرَّفَنِي بِطَاعَتِكُمْ وَ أَعَزَّنِي بِهُدَاكُمْ

And may Allah^-azwj Gather me in your^-asws group and Make me arrive at your^-asws fountain, and Make me from the ones of your^-asws party, and Make you^-asws to be pleased with me, and Enable me in your^-asws government, and Make me live during your^-asws return, and Grant me authority in your^-asws days, and Appreciate my striving with you^-asws, and Forgive my sins due to your^-asws intercession, and Uproot my stumbles due to your^-asws love, and Elevate my heels through your^-asws Wilayah, and Ennoble me with obedience to you^-asws, and Honour me with your^-asws guidance!

وَ جَعَلَنِي مِمَّنِ انْقَلَبَ مُفْلِحاً مُنْجِحاً غَانِماً سَالِماً مُعَافًى غَنِيّاً فَائِزاً بِرِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ وَ فَضْلِهِ وَ كِفَايَتِهِ بِأَفْضَلِ مَا يَنْقَلِبُ بِهِ أَحَدٌ مِنْ زُوَّارِكُمْ وَ مَوَالِيكُمْ وَ مُحِبِّيكُمْ وَ شِيعَتِكُمْ وَ رَزَقَنِيَ اللَّهُ الْعَوْدَ ثُمَّ الْعَوْدَ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَانِي رَبِّي بِنِيَّةٍ صَادِقَةٍ وَ إِيمَانٍ وَ تَقْوَى وَ إِخْبَاتٍ وَ رِزْقٍ وَاسِعٍ حَلَالٍ طَيِّبٍ

And Make me from the ones who is transferred as successful, saved, gainful, safe, excused, enriched, a winner with the Pleasure of Allah^-azwj, and His^-azwj Merit, and His^-azwj Sufficing, with the best of what anyone from your^-asws visitors, and your^-asws friends, and your^-asws loved ones, and your^-asws Shias is transferred with, and may Allah^-azwj Grace me the returning for every, for as long as my Lord^-azwj Causes me to remain with sincere intention, and Eman, and piety, and humbleness, and vast sustenance, Permissible, good!

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَتِهِمْ وَ ذِكْرِهِمْ وَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ أَوْجِبْ لِيَ الْمَغْفِرَةَ وَ الرَّحْمَةَ وَ الْخَيْرَ وَ الْبَرَكَةِ وَ التَّقْوَى وَ الْفَوْزَ وَ النُّورَ وَ الْإِيمَانَ وَ حُسْنَ الْإِجَابَةِ كَمَا أَوْجَبْتَ لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ الْعَارِفِينَ بِحَقِّهِمْ الْمُوجِبِينَ طَاعَتَهُمْ وَ الرَّاغِبِينَ فِي زِيَارَتِهِمُ الْمُتَقَرِّبِينَ إِلَيْكَ وَ إِلَيْهِمْ

O Allah^-azwj! Do not Make is the last pace of visiting them^-asws and mentioning them^-asws, and the Salawaat upon them^-asws, and Obligate the Forgiveness for me, and the Mercy, and the good, and the Blessings, and the piety, and the success, and the Noor, and the Eman, and the excellent Response just as You^-azwj have Obligated Your^-azwj friends, the ones recognising their^-asws rights, the ones obligating obedience to them^-asws, and the ones desirous in visiting them^-asws, the ones drawing closer to You^-azwj and to them^-asws!

بِأَبِي أَنْتُمْ وَ أُمِّي وَ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي اجْعَلُونِي فِي هَمِّكُمْ وَ صَيِّرُونِي فِي حِزْبِكُمْ وَ أَدْخِلُونِي فِي شَفَاعَتِكُمْ وَ اذْكُرُونِي عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ

May my father and my mother, and I, and my family, and my wealth be (sacrificed for) you^-asws! Make me among your^-asws important ones, and make me be in your^-asws party, and include me in your^-asws intercession, and mention me in the Presence of your^-asws Lord^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَبْلِغْ أَرْوَاحَهُمْ وَ أَجْسَادَهُمْ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ كَثِيراً وَ حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ.

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Deliver to their^-asws souls and their^-asws bodies the greeting from me, and the greeting be upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and abundant Greeting, and sufficient for us is Allah^-azwj and is the best Disposer!’’[20]

أقول رأيت من بعض تأليفات أصحابنا نسخة قديمة ذكر فيها هذه الزيارة و قدم قبلها دعاء الإذن فقال‏ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ الْمَشْهَدَ فَقِفْ عَلَى الْبَابِ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي قَدْ وَقَفْتُ عَلَى بَابِ بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ قَدْ مَنَعْتَ النَّاسَ الدُّخُولَ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ نَبِيِّكَ فَقُلْتَ‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ‏

I say, ‘I saw from one of the compilations of our companions, an ancient copy mentioning this Ziyarat in it, and he forwarded before it a supplication for permission. He said, ‘When you have entered the Mausoleum, stand at the door facing the Qiblah and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I have stood at the door of a house from the houses of Your^-azwj Prophet Muhammad^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws and You^-azwj Refused the people from entering to his^-saww houses except with permission of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww. You^-azwj Said, ‘O you those who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless there is permission for you [33:53]!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ إِنِّي أَعْتَقِدُ حُرْمَةَ نَبِيِّكَ فِي غَيْبَتِهِ كَمَا أَعْتَقِدُهَا فِي حَضْرَتِهِ وَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ رُسُلَكَ وَ خُلَفَاءَكَ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَكَ يُرْزَقُونَ

O Allah^-azwj, and I believe in sanctity of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww during his^-saww absence just as I had believed in his^-ajfj presence, and I know that Your^-azwj Messengers^-as and Your^-azwj caliphs are alive in Your^-azwj Presence being Provided!

يَرَوْنَ مَكَانِي فِي وَقْتِي هَذَا وَ زَمَانِي وَ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلَامِي وَ يَرُدُّونَ عَلَيَّ سَلَامِي وَ أَنَّكَ حَجَبْتَ عَنْ سَمْعِي كَلَامَهُمْ وَ فَتَحْتَ بَابَ فَهْمِي بِلَذِيذِ مُنَاجَاتِهِمْ

They^-asws are seeing my place in this time of mine and my era, and they^-asws are listening to my speech, and they^-asws are responding to my greeting to me, and You^-azwj have Veiled their^-asws speech from me, and Opened the door of my understanding with their^-asws pleasurable whispers!

وَ إِنِّي أَسْتَأْذِنُكَ يَا رَبِّ أَوَّلًا وَ أَسْتَأْذِنُ رَسُولَكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ ثَانِياً وَ أَسْتَأْذِنُ خَلِيفَتَهُ الْإِمَامَ الْمَفْرُوضَ عَلَيَّ طَاعَتُهُ فِي الدُّخُولِ فِي سَاعَتِي هَذِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ وَ أَسْتَأْذِنُ مَلَائِكَتَكَ الْمُوَكَّلِينَ بِهَذِهِ الْبُقْعَةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ الْمُطِيعَةِ لَكَ السَّامِعَةِ

And I firstly seek Your^-azwj Permission, O Lord^-azwj, and secondly I seek permission of Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and I seek permission of Your^-azwj caliph obedience to whom You^-azwj have Obligated upon me, in entering this time of mine to his^-ajfj house, and I seek permission of Your^-azwj Angels allocated with this Blessed spot who are obedient to You^-azwj, the listeners!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ الْمُوَكَّلُونَ بِهَذَا الْمَشْهَدِ الشَّرِيفِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ إِذْنِ رَسُولِهِ وَ إِذْنِ خُلَفَائِهِ وَ إِذْنِ هَذَا الْإِمَامِ وَ بِإِذْنِكُمْ صَلَوَاتُ‏ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

The greeting be upon you^-asws O the Angels allocated to this Mausoleum, the noble, the Blessed, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings! With the Permission of Allah^-azwj, and permission of His^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and permission of His^-azwj caliphs, and permission of this Imam^-ajfj, and by all your^-asws permissions, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon you^-asws all!

أَدْخُلُ إِلَى هَذَا الْبَيْتِ مُتَقَرِّباً إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى بِرَسُولِهِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ بِآلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ فَكُونُوا مَلَائِكَةَ اللَّهِ أَعْوَانِي وَ كُونُوا أَنْصَارِي حَتَّى أَدْخُلَ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ وَ أَدْعُوَ اللَّهَ بِفُنُونِ الدَّعَوَاتِ وَ أَعْتَرِفَ لِلَّهِ بِالْعُبُودِيَّةِ وَ لِهَذَا الْإِمَامِ وَ آبَائِهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالطَّاعَةِ

I enter this house drawing closer to Allah^-azwj the Exalted through His^-azwj Rasool Muhammad^-saww, and to his^-saww pure Progeny^-asws. So, O Angels of Allah^-azwj! Be my supporters and be my helpers until I enter this house, and I supplicate to Allah^-azwj with various supplication, and I acknowledge to Allah^-azwj with the servitude, and to this Imam^-ajfj and his^-ajfj forefathers^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon them^-asws, with the obedience!’

ثُمَّ ادْخُلْ مُقَدِّماً رِجْلَكَ الْيُمْنَى وَ قُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ

Then enter the front of your right foot and say, ‘In the name of Allah^-azwj, and by Allah^-azwj, and in the way of Allah^-azwj and upon the religion of Rasool-Allah^-saww! I testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him^-azwj, and I testify that Muhammad^-saww is His^-azwj servant and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww!’

ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ قِفْ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الضَّرِيحِ وَ اجْعَلِ الْقِبْلَةَ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْكَ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ بَيْتِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ ذَكَرَ مِثْلَ مَا مَرَّ سَوَاءً إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ ع‏ إِنْ كانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنا لَمَفْعُولًا

Then say, ‘Allah^-azwj is Greatest’, one hundred times and stand facing the Shrine and make the Qiblah to be between your shoulders and say, ‘The greeting be upon you, O People^-asws of the Household of the Prophet-hood’ – and he mentioned similar to what has passed, same, except he said after his^-asws words: ‘Surely the Promise of our Lord^-azwj will always be fulfilled!’

ثُمَّ انْكَبَّ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ قُلْ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ إِلَى آخِرِ الزِّيَارَةِ.

Then devote upon the grave and say, ‘O guardian of Allah^-azwj!’ – up to the end of the Ziyarat’’.[21]

5- ثم اعلم أني لما رأيت تلك الزيارة أيضا في أصل مصحح قديم من تأليفات قدماء أصحابنا سميناه في أول كتابنا بالكتاب العتيق أبسط مما أوردنا مع اختلافات في ألفاظها فأحببت إيرادها و جعلتها الزيارة الثالثة

Then know that when I saw that Ziyarat as well in the original of ancient corrected copy from compilations of our companions we named in the beginning of our book ‘Al-Ateeq’, from what we referred to with differing in its wording, so I loved to refer to it and make is the third Ziyarat.

قَالَ: إِذَا وَصَلْتَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقُلْ‏ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ الَّذِي‏ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ‏ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الَّلهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ وَ تَحِيَّاتُهُ وَ رَأْفَتُهُ وَ مَغْفِرَتُهُ وَ رِضْوَانُهُ وَ فَضْلُهُ وَ كَرَامَتُهُ وَ رَحْمَتُهُ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

He said, ‘When you arrive to them^-asws, say, ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the worlds, the Beneficent, the Merciful Who, there isn’t anything like Him^-azwj, and He^-azwj is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, and there is no god except Allah^-azwj, the King, the Truth, the Manifest, and Glory be to Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the Magnificent Throne, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj, and His^-azwj Salutation, and His^-azwj Kindness, and His^-azwj Forgiveness, and His^-azwj Pleasure, and His^-azwj Grace, and His^-azwj Honour, and His^-azwj Mercy, and His^-azwj Blessings!

And those who belied him^-saww, and opposed him^-saww, and attributed falsities upon him^-saww, and rejected his^-saww rights, and denied his^-saww merit, and slandered him^-saww, and oppressed his^-saww successor and transgressed upon him^-asws, and usurped him^-asws of his^-asws caliphate, and broke his^-saww pact regarding him^-asws, and loosened his^-saww knot for him^-asws, and laid the foundation of tyranny and injustice and the aggression against his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and killed them^-asws, and befriended others, will take the painful punishment in the lowest lever of the Blazing Fire!

لَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ مِنْ عَذَابِهَا وَ هُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ‏ مَلْعُونُونَ‏ ناكِسُوا رُؤُسِهِمْ‏ فَعَايَنُوا النَّدَامَةَ وَ الْخِزْيَ الطَّوِيلَ مَعَ الْأَرْذَلِينَ الْأَشْرَارِ قَدْ كُبُّوا عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ فِي النَّارِ

Its Punishment will not be lightened from them and they will be clothed in it, accursed, their heads bowed. They will witness the regret and the prolonged disgrace with the humiliated ones, the evil having been flung upon their faces into the Fire!

وَ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِهِ وَ صَدَّقُوهُ وَ نَصَرُوهُ وَ وَقَّرُوهُ وَ أَجَابُوهُ وَ عَزَّرُوهُ وَ اتَّبَعُوهُ‏ وَ اتَّبَعُوا النُّورَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ مَعَهُ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ‏ فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ‏ وَ الْفَوْزِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ الْغِبْطَةِ وَ السُّرُورِ وَ الْمُلْكِ الْكَبِيرِ وَ الثَّوَابِ الْمُقِيمِ فِي الْمَقَامِ الْكَرِيمِ

And those who believed in him^-saww, and ratified him^-saww, and helped him^-saww, and dignified him^-saww, and answered him^-saww, and supported him^-saww, and followed him^-saww, and followed the Noor which had descended with him^-saww, they are from the successful ones in the Gardens of Bliss, and the mighty success, and the exultation, and the happiness, and the great kingdom, and the lasting Rewards in the honourable place!

فَجَزَاهُ عَنَّا أَحْسَنَ الْجَزَاءِ وَ خَيْرَ مَا جَزَى نَبِيّاً عَنْ أُمَّتِهِ وَ رَسُولًا عَمَّنْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِ وَ خَصَّهُ بِأَفْضَلِ قِسَمِ الْفَضَائِلِ وَ بَلَّغَهُ أَعْلَى شَرَفِ الْمُكَرَّمِينَ مِنَ الدَّرَجَاتِ الْعُلَى فِي أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَ نَهَرٍ فِي مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَ مَلِيكٍ مُقْتَدِرٍ

Recompense him^-saww on our behalf with the excellent Recompense, and better than what You^-azwj have Recompensed any Prophet^-as on behalf of his^-as Prophet^-saww, and any Messenger^-as from the ones he^-as had been Sent to, and Specialise him^-saww with the best portion of the merits, and Make him^-saww reach the exalted nobility of the honourable ones from the exalted ranks in the exalted Illiyeen, in Gardens, and rivers in a truthful seat in the Presence of the All-Powerful King!

وَ أَعْطَاهُ حَتَّى يَرْضَى وَ زَادَهُ بَعْدَ الرِّضَا وَ جَعَلَهُ أَقْرَبَ الْخَلْقِ مِنْهُ مَجْلِساً وَ أَدْنَاهُمْ إِلَيْهِ مَنْزِلًا وَ أَعْظَمَهُمْ عِنْدَهُ جَاهاً وَ أَعْلَاهُمْ لَدَيْهِ كَعْباً وَ أَحْسَنَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ ثَنَاءً وَ أَوَّلَ الْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ كَلَاماً وَ أَكْثَرَ النَّبِيِّينَ أَتْبَاعاً وَ أَوْفَرَ الْخَلْقِ نَصِيباً وَ أَجْزَلَهُمْ حَظّاً فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ هُوَ قَاسِمُهُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ أَحْسَنَ جَزَاءَهُ عَنْ جَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ‏

And Grant him^-as until he^-saww is pleased, and Increase him^-saww after the pleasure, and Make him^-saww closest of the creatures to Him^-azwj of a seat, and nearest to Him^-azwj in status, and mightiest of them in honour in His^-azwj Presence, and their loftiest of heel before Him^-azwj, and their most excellent of laudation to Him^-azwj, and the first speaker to speak, and of most followers among the Prophets^-as, and the most plentiful of the creatures of a share, and their most abundant of portions in every goodness, he^-saww being its distributor between them, and Make his^-saww Recompense most excellent on behalf of entirety of the Momineen from the former ones and the latter ones!

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمُ الْأَئِمَّةُ الرَّاشِدُونَ الْمَهْدِيُّونَ الْمَعْصُومُونَ الْمُكَرَّمُونَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ الْمُتَّقُونَ الْمُصْطَفَوْنَ الْمُطِيعُونَ لِلَّهِ الْقَوَّامُونَ بِأَمْرِهِ الْعَامِلُونَ بِإِرَادَتِهِ الْفَائِزُونَ بِكَرَامَتِهِ

And I testify you^-asws are the Imams^-asws, the directors, the guided, the infallible, the honourable, the ones of proximity, the chosen, the obedient to Allah^-azwj, and ones standing with His^-azwj Command, the workers with His^-azwj Will, the successful with His^-azwj honours!

اصْطَفَاكُمْ بِعِلْمِهِ وَ اصْطَنَعَكُمْ لِنَفْسِهِ وَ ارْتَضَاكُمْ لِغَيْبِهِ وَ اخْتَارَكُمْ لِسِرِّهِ وَ اجْتَبَاكُمْ بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ أَعَزَّكُمْ بِهُدَاهُ وَ خَصَّكُمُ بِبَرَاهِينِهِ وَ انْتَجَبَكُمْ لِنُورِهِ

He^-azwj Chose you^-asws all with His^-azwj Knowledge, and Fashioned you for Himself^-azwj, and was Pleased with you for His^-azwj unseen purpose, and Selected you^-asws for His^-azwj secret, and Selected you^-asws by His^-azwj Power, and honoured you^-asws with His^-azwj Guidance, and Distinguished you^-asws with His^-azwj Proofs!

وَ أَيَّدَكُمْ بِرُوحِهِ وَ رَضِيَكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ فِي أَرْضِهِ وَ جَعَلَكُمْ حُجَجاً عَلَى بَرِيَّتِهِ وَ أَنْصَاراً لِدِينِهِ وَ حَفَظَةً لِحُكْمِهِ وَ خَزَنَةً لِعِلْمِهِ وَ مُسْتَوْدَعاً لِحِكْمَتِهِ وَ تَرَاجِمَةً لِوَحْيِهِ وَ أَرْكَاناً لِتَوْحِيدِهِ وَ سُفَرَاءَ عَنْهُ وَ شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ وَ أَسْبَاباً إِلَيْهِ وَ أَعْلَاماً لِعِبَادِهِ وَ مَنَاراً فِي بِلَادِهِ وَ سُبُلًا إِلَى جَنَّتِهِ وَ أَدِلَّاءَ عَلَى صِرَاطِهِ

He^-azwj Chose you for His^-azwj Noor, and Supported you^-asws with His^-azwj spirit, and was Pleased with you^-asws as successors on His^-azwj earth, and Made you^-asws Divine authorities over His^-azwj creation, and supporters of His^-azwj religion, and guardians of His^-azwj Command, and treasurers of His^-azwj Knowledge, and repositories of His^-azwj Wisdom, and interpreters of His^-azwj Revelation, and pillars of His^-azwj Oneness, and ambassadors on His^-azwj behalf, and witnesses over His^-azwj creation, and means to reach Him^-azwj, and signs for His^-azwj servants, and beacons in His^-azwj lands, and paths to His^-azwj Paradise, and guides to His^-azwj path!

عَصَمَكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ بَرَّأَكُمْ مِنَ الْعُيُوبِ وَ ائْتَمَنَكُمْ عَلَى الْغُيُوبِ وَ جَنَّبَكُمُ الْآفَاتِ وَ وَقَاكُمُ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ طَهَّرَكُمْ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَ الزَّيْغِ وَ نَزَّهَكُمْ مِنَ الزَّلَلِ وَ الْخَطَاءِ وَ أَذْهَبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ آمَنَكُمْ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ

Allah^-azwj Fortified you^-asws from the sins, and Freed you^-asws from the defects, and Entrusted you^-asws upon the unseen matters, and Kept you^-asws aside from the disabilities, and Saved you^-asws from the evil deeds, and Purified you^-asws from the filth and the deviation, and Remove you^-asws from the slips and the mistakes, and Kept the uncleanness away from you^-asws, and Secured you^-asws from the Fitna!

وَ اسْتَرْعَاكُمُ الْأَنَامَ وَ فَوَّضَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْأُمُورَ وَ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ التَّدْبِيرَ وَ عَرَّفَكُمُ الْأَسْبَابَ وَ أَوْرَثَكُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَ أَعْطَاكُمُ الْمَقَالِيدَ وَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَا خَلَقَ

And He^-azwj Made you^-asws caretakers of the people, and Delegated the matters to you^-asws, and Made the management for you^-asws, and Introduced you^-asws to the causes, and Inherited you^-asws the Book, and Granted you^-asws the reins, and Subdued to you^-asws whatever He^-azwj had Created!

فَعَظَّمْتُمْ جَلَالَهُ وَ أَكْبَرْتُمْ شَأْنَهُ وَ هِبْتُمْ عَظَمَتَهُ وَ مَجَّدْتُمْ كَرَمَهُ وَ أَدْمَنْتُمْ ذِكْرَهُ وَ وَكَّدْتُمْ مِيثَاقَهُ وَ أَحْكَمْتُمْ عُقَدَ عُرَى طَاعَتِهِ وَ نَصَحْتُمْ لَهُ فِي السِّرِّ وَ الْعَلَانِيَةِ وَ دَعَوْتُمْ إِلَى سَبِيلِهِ‏ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَ بَذَلْتُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ فِي مَرْضَاتِهِ

You^-asws magnified His^-azwj Majesty, and, exalted His^-azwj Status, and feared His^-azwj Magnificence, and glorified His^-azwj Generosity, and Maintained His^-azwj Zikr, and confirmed His^-azwj Covenant, and strengthened the bonds of obedience to Him^-azwj, were sincere to Him^-azwj in private and in public, and called to His^-azwj path with wisdom and the excellent preaching, and exerted yourselves for His^-azwj Pleasure!

وَ صَبَرْتُمْ عَلَى مَا أَصَابَكُمْ فِي جَنْبِهِ وَ صَدَعْتُمْ بِأَمْرِهِ وَ تَلَوْتُمْ كِتَابَهُ وَ حَذَّرْتُمْ بَأْسَهُ وَ ذَكَرْتُمْ أَيَّامَهُ وَ وَفَيْتُمْ بِعَهْدِهِ وَ أَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَ آتَيْتُمُ الزَّكَاةَ وَ أَمَرْتُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ نَهَيْتُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ جَاهَدْتُمْ فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ

And you^-asws were patient upon what afflicted you^-asws for His^-azwj Sake, and proclaimed His^-azwj Commands, and recited His^-azwj Book, and warned of His^-azwj Punishment, and reminded of His^-azwj days, and fulfilled His^-azwj Covenant, and Established the Salat, and gave the Zakat, and Enjoined what is good and forbade what is evil, and strived in the way of Allah^-azwj as is the right of striving!

وَ جَادَلْتُمْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ حَتَّى أَعْلَنْتُمْ دَعْوَتَهُ وَ قَمَعْتُمْ عَدُوَّهُ وَ أَظْهَرْتُمْ دِينَهُ وَ بَيَّنْتُمْ فَرَائِضَهُ وَ أَقَمْتُمْ حُدُودَهُ وَ شَرَعْتُمْ أَحْكَامَهُ وَ سَنَنْتُمْ سُنَّتَهُ وَ صِرْتُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ إِلَى الرِّضَا وَ سَلَّمْتُمْ لَهُ الْقَضَاءَ وَ صَدَّقْتُمْ مِنْ رُسُلِهِ مَنْ مَضَى

And you^-asws argued with that which is excellent until you^-asws announced His^-azwj Call, and suppressed His^-azwj enemies, and revealed His^-azwj religion, and explained His^-azwj obligation, and established His^-azwj legal penalties, and legislated His^-azwj Rulings, and conducted His^-azwj Sunnah, and came to be in that to the Pleasure from Him^-azwj, and submitted to Him^-azwj of the Decree, and ratified His^-azwj Messengers^-as of the past!

الرَّاغِبُ عَنْكُمْ مَارِقٌ وَ اللَّازِمُ لَكُمْ لَاحِقٌ وَ الْمُقَصِّرُ عَنْكُمْ زَاهِقٌ وَ الْحَقُّ مَعَكُمْ وَ فِيكُمْ وَ مِنْكُمْ وَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُهُ وَ مَعْدِنُهُ وَ مِيرَاثُ النُّبُوَّةِ عِنْدَكُمْ وَ إِيَابُ الْخَلْقِ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ حِسَابُهُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ فَصْلُ الْخِطَابِ عِنْدَكُمْ وَ آيَاتُهُ لَدَيْكُمْ وَ عَزَائِمُهُ فِيكُمْ وَ نُورُهُ مَعَكُمْ وَ بُرْهَانُهُ مِنْكُمْ وَ أَمْرُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ

The one turning away from you^-asws is deviated, and one who remains loyal to you^-asws is joined to the truth, and one who falls short concerning you^-asws is doomed! The truth is with you^-asws, and in you^-asws, and from you^-asws, and returns to you^-asws! You^-asws are its people and its source. The inheritance of Prophethood is with you^-asws. The return of creation is to you^-asws, and their Reckoning is up to you^-asws, and the final judgment is with you^-asws, and His^-azwj signs are with you, and His^-azwj Decisive Commands are among you^-asws, and His^-azwj Noor is with you^-asws, and His^-azwj proof is from you^-asws, and His^-azwj Command is directed to you^-asws!

مَنْ وَالاكُمْ فَقَدْ وَالَى اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ أَطَاعَكُمْ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّكُمْ فَقَدْ أَحَبَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِكُمْ فَقَدِ اعْتَصَمَ بِاللَّهِ

One who befriends you^-asws has befriended Allah^-azwj, and one who obeys you^-asws has obeyed Allah^-azwj, and one who loves you^-asws has loved Allah^-azwj, and one who adheres with you^-asws has adhered with Allah^-azwj!

أَنْتُمْ يَا مَوَالِيَّ وَ نِعَمِ الْمَوَالِي السَّبِيلُ الْأَعْظَمُ وَ الصِّرَاطُ الْأَقْوَمُ وَ شُهَدَاءُ دَارِ الْفَنَاءِ وَ شُفَعَاءُ دَارِ الْبَقَاءِ وَ الرَّحْمَةُ الْمَوْصُولَةُ وَ الْآيَةُ الْمَخْزُونَةُ وَ الْأَمَانَةُ الْمَحْفُوظَةُ وَ الْبَابُ الْمُبْتَلَى بِهِ النَّاسُ

You^-asws, O my masters, are best of the masters, the magnificent way, and the straightest path, and martyrs in the temporal house, and interceders in the ever-lasting house, and the connected Mercy, and the treasured signs, and the preserved entrustment, and the door the people are tried with!

مَنْ أَتَاكُمْ نَجَا وَ مَنْ أَبَاكُمْ هَوَى إِلَى اللَّهِ تَدْعُونَ وَ بِهِ تُؤْمِنُونَ وَ لَهُ تُسَلِّمُونَ وَ بِأَمْرِهِ تَعْمَلُونَ وَ إِلَى سَبِيلِهِ تُرْشِدُونَ وَ بِقَوْلِهِ تَحْكُمُونَ وَ إِلَيْهِ تُنِيبُونَ وَ إِيَّاهُ تُعَظِّمُونَ

One who comes to you^-asws is saved and one who rejects you^-asws falls into ruin. You^-asws call to Allah^-azwj and believe in Him^-azwj, and submit to Him^-azwj, and act by His^-azwj Command, and guide to His^-azwj Path, and judge by His^-azwj Word, and turn to Him^-azwj in repentance and glorify Him^-azwj!

سَعِدَ مَنْ وَالاكُمْ وَ هَلَكَ مَنْ عَادَاكُمْ وَ خَابَ مَنْ جَهِلَكُمْ وَ ضَلَّ مَنْ فَارَقَكُمْ وَ فَازَ مَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِكُمْ وَ أَمِنَ مَنْ لَجَأَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ سَلِمَ مَنْ صَدَّقَكُمْ وَ هُدِيَ مَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِكُمْ

Blessed is the one who is loyal to you^-asws, and destroyed is the one who opposes you^-asws, and disappointed is the one who ignores you^-asws, and misguided is the one who separated from you^-asws, and successful is the one who adhered to you^-asws, and safe is the one who seeks Refuge with you^-asws, and secure is the one believes you^-asws, and guided is the one who clings to you^-asws!

مَنِ اتَّبَعَكُمْ فَالْجَنَّةُ مَأْوَاهُ وَ مَنْ خَالَفَكُمْ فَالنَّارُ مَثْوَاهُ وَ مَنْ جَحَدَكُمْ كَافِرٌ وَ مَنْ حَارَبَكُمْ مُشْرِكٌ وَ مَنْ رَدَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَفِي أَسْفَلِ دَرْكِ الْجَحِيمِ

One who follow you^-asws, so the Paradise is his abode, and one who opposes you^-asws, so the Fire is his dwelling, and one who rejects you^-asws is a Kafir, and one who battles you is a Polytheist, and one who rebuts against you^-asws he would be in a level of the Blazing Fire!

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ هَذَا سَابِقٌ لَكُمْ فِيمَا مَضَى وَ جَارٍ لَكُمْ فِيمَا بَقِيَ وَ أَنَّ أَنْوَارَكُمْ وَ أَجْسَادَكُمْ‏ وَ أَشْبَاحَكُمْ وَ ظِلَالَكُمْ وَ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ وَ طِينَتَكُمْ وَاحِدَةٌ جَلَّتْ وَ عَظُمَتْ وَ بُورِكَتْ وَ قُدِّسَتْ وَ طَابَتْ وَ طَهُرَتْ بَعْضاً مِنَ بَعْضٍ

I testify that this has been true for you^-asws in the past and continues for you^-asws in what remains, and that your^-asws Noor and your^-asws bodies, and your^-asws forms, and your^-asws shadows, and your spirits, and your^-asws essence is one, and exalted, and great, and Blessed, and sanctified, and pure, and purified, one part from another!

لَمْ تَزَالُوا بِعَيْنِ اللَّهِ وَ عِنْدَهُ وَ فِي مَلَكُوتِهِ تَأْمُرُونَ وَ لَهُ تَخْلُفُونَ وَ إِيَّاهُ تُسَبِّحُونَ وَ بِعَرْشِهِ مُحْدِقُونَ وَ بِهِ حَافُّونَ حَتَّى مَرَّ بِكُمْ عَلَيْنَا فَجَعَلَكُمْ فِي بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تُرْفَعَ وَ يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اسْمُهُ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ فِيهَا بِالْغُدُوِّ وَ الْآصَالِ رِجَالٌ تَوَلَّى عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ تَطْهِيرَهَا وَ أَمَرَ خَلْقَهُ بِتَعْظِيمِهَا

You^-asws have always been under the watchful Eye of Allah^-azwj, in His^-azwj Presence, and within His^-azwj Dominion. You^-azwj command by His^-azwj Authority, act as successors on His behalf, glorify Him, surround His Throne, and encircle it through Him^-azwj until your^-asws presence reached us, and He^-azwj Placed you^-azwj in houses which Allah Permitted to be raised and wherein His^-azwj Name is mentioned. In these, He^-azwj is glorified morning and evening by men whom the Exalted is His^-azwj Mentioned has Purified and Commanded His^-azwj creatures to revere these!

فَرَفَعَهَا عَلَى كُلِّ بَيْتٍ قَدَّسَهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ أَعْلَاهَا عَلَى كُلِّ بَيْتٍ طَهَّرَهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ لَا يُوَازِيهَا خَطَرٌ وَ لَا يَسْمُو إِلَى سَمْكِهَا الْبَصَرُ وَ لَا يَطْمَعُ إِلَى أَرْضِهَا النَّظَرُ وَ لَا يَقَعُ عَلَى كُنْهِهَا الْفِكَرُ وَ لَا يُعَادِلُ سُكَّانَهَا الْبَشَرُ يَتَمَنَّى

He^-azwj Raised these over every house He^-azwj Sanctified in the earth and Elevated it over every house He^-azwj Purified in the sky. No value equals it, no sight can reach its height, no gaze can hope to behold its ground, no thought can comprehend its essence, and no human equals its inhabitants.

كُلُّ أَحَدٍ أَنَّهُ مِنْكُمْ وَ لَا تَتَمَنَّوْنَ أَنَّكُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ إِلَيْكُمُ انْتَهَتِ الْمَكَارِمُ وَ الشَّرَفُ وَ مِنْكُمُ اسْتَقَرَّتِ الْأَنْوَارُ وَ الْعِزَّةُ وَ الْمَجْدُ وَ السُّؤْدُدُ

Everyone wishes to be among you^-asws while you^-asws do not wish to be other than yourselves^-asws. To you^-asws belongs the summit of virtues and honour, and from you^-asws emanated lights, might, glory, and nobility!

فَمَا فَوْقَكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْكَبِيرُ الْمُتَعَالِ وَ لَا أَقْرَبَ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَا أَخَصَّ لَدَيْهِ وَ لَا أَكْرَمَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْتُمْ سَكَنُ الْبِلَادِ وَ نُورُ الْعِبَادِ وَ عَلَيْكُمُ الِاعْتِمَادُ يَوْمَ التَّنَادِ

There is no one above you^-asws except Allah^-azwj the Great, the Exalted, nor anyone closer to Him^-azwj nor more special before Him^-azwj, nor more honourable to Him^-azwj than you^-asws! You^-asws are dwellers of the land, and Noor of the servants, and upon you^-asws is the reliance on the Day of the calling!

كُلَّمَا غَابَ مِنْكُمْ حُجَّةٌ أَوْ أَفَلَ مِنْكُمْ نَجْمٌ أَطْلَعَ اللَّهُ لِخَلْقِهِ عَقِبَهُ خَلَفاً إِمَاماً هَادِياً وَ بُرْهَاناً مُبِيناً وَ عَلَماً نَيِّراً وَاعٍ عَنْ وَاعٍ وَ هَادٍ بَعْدَ هَادٍ خَزَنَةً حَفَظَةً

Every time a Divine authority from you^-asws disappears, or a star from you^-asws sets, Allah^-azwj Makes to emerge for His^-azwj creatures in its tracks as a replacement, an Imam^-asws, a guide, and a manifest proof, and a radiant flag, one who inherits from one who came before, a guide after a guide, treasurers and guardians!

لَا يَغِيضُ عَنْكُمْ غُزْرُهُ وَ لَا يَنْقَطِعُ مَوَادُّهُ وَ لَا يُسْلَبُ مِنْكُمْ إِرْثُهُ سَبَباً مَوْصُولًا مِنَ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةً مِنْهُ عَلَيْنَا وَ نُوراً مِنْهُ لَنَا وَ حُجَّةً مِنْهُ عَلَيْنَا تُرْشِدُونَنَا إِلَيْهِ وَ تُقَرِّبُونَنَا مِنْهُ وَ تُزْلِفُونَنَا لَدَيْهِ

His^-azwj bounty never wanes through you^-asws, His^-azwj provisions never cease from you^-asws, and His^-azwj inheritance is never taken from you^-asws! You^-azwj are a continuous link from Allah^-azwj to us, a Mercy from Him^-azwj upon us, a light from Him^-azwj for us, and a Divine authority from Him^-azwj over us! You^-azwj guide us to him^-asws, and drawing closer to Him^-azwj, and bring us near to Him^-azwj!

وَ جَعَلَ صَلَوَاتِنَا عَلَيْكُمْ وَ ذِكْرَنَا لَكُمْ وَ مَا خَصَّنَا بِهِ مِنْ وَلَايَتِكُمْ وَ عَرَّفَنَا مِنْ فَضْلِكُمْ طِيباً لِخَلْقِنَا وَ طَهَارَةً لِأَنْفُسِنَا وَ بَرَكَةً فِينَا إِذْ كُنَّا عِنْدَهُ مَوْسُومِينَ فِيكُمْ مُعْتَرِفِينَ بِفَضْلِكُمْ مَعْرُوفِينَ بِتَصْدِيقِنَا إِيَّاكُمْ مَذْكُورِينَ بِطَاعَتِنَا لَكُمْ وَ مَشْهُورِينَ بِإِيْمَانِنَا بِكُمْ

And Make our Salawaat upon you^-asws, and our Zikr of you^-asws, and what  He^-azwj has Specialised us with of your^-asws Wilayah, and Introduced us of your^-asws merits, as a refinement of our creation and a purification of our souls, and Blessing within us when we were marked among you^-asws in His^-azwj Presence, acknowledging your merits, well-known due to our ratification of you^-asws, mentioned with our obedience to you^-asws, and renowned with our Eman with you^-asws!

فَبَلَغَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ أَفْضَلَ شَرَفِ مَحَلِّ الْمُكَرَّمِينَ وَ أَعْلَى مَنَازِلِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ أَرْفَعَ دَرَجَاتِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ حَيْثُ لَا يَلْحَقُهُ لَاحِقٌ وَ لَا يَفُوقُهُ فَائِقٌ وَ لَا يَسْبِقُهُ سَابِقٌ وَ لَا يَطْمَعُ فِي إِدْرَاكِهِ طَامِعٌ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ وَ لَا نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ وَ لَا صِدِّيقٌ وَ لَا شَهِيدٌ وَ لَا عَالِمٌ وَ لَا جَاهِلٌ وَ لَا دَنِيٌّ وَ لَا فَاضِلٌ وَ لَا مُؤْمِنٌ صَالِحٌ وَ لَا فَاجِرٌ طَالِحٌ وَ لَا جَبَّارٌ عَنِيدٌ وَ لَا شَيْطَانٌ مَرِيدٌ

May Allah^-azwj Reach with you the best nobility, place of the honourable ones, and exalted status of the one of proximity, and lofty ranks of the Messengers^-as where neither a catcher can catch nor can a surpassing one surpass, nor a preceding one can precede to, nor any coveter can covet in realising it until there neither remains an Angel of Proximity, nor a Sent Prophet^-as, nor a truthful, nor a martyr, nor scholar, nor ignorant, nor lowly, nor meritorious, nor a righteous believer, nor a wicked immoral, nor an obstinate tyrant, nor a renegade Satan^-la!

وَ لَا خَلْقٌ فِيمَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ شَاهِدٌ مَا هُنَالِكَ إِلَّا عَرَّفَهُ جَلَالَةَ أَمْرِكُمْ وَ عِظَمَ خَطَرِكُمْ وَ كَبِيرَ شَأْنِكُمْ وَ جَلَالَةَ قَدْرِكُمْ وَ تَمَامَ نُورِكُمْ وَ صِدْقَ مَقْعَدِكُمْ وَ ثَبَاتَ مَقَامِكُمْ وَ شَرَفَ مَحَلِّكُمْ وَ مَنْزِلَتِكُمْ عِنْدَهُ وَ كَرَامَتَكُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَ خَاصَّتَكُمْ لَدَيْهِ وَ قُرْبَ مَجْلِسِكُمْ مِنْهُ

And there will be no creature in what is between that as a witness of what is over there except he would recognise the majesty of your^-asws matter, and magnificence of your^-asws honour, and greatness of your^-asws glory, and majestic of your^-asws worth, and completeness of your^-asws Noor, and truthfulness of your^-asws seat, and affirmation of your^-asws position, and nobility of your^-asws Places and your^-asws status in His^-azwj Presence, and your^-asws prestige to Him^-azwj, and you^-asws specialness before Him^-azwj, and nearness of your^-asws seat from Him^-azwj!

ثُمَّ جَعَلَ خَاصَّةَ الصَّلَوَاتِ وَ أَفْضَلَهَا وَ نَامِيَ‏ الْبَرَكَاتِ وَ أَشْرَفَهَا وَ زَاكِيَ التَّحِيَّاتِ وَ أَتَمَّهَا مِنْهُ وَ مِنْ مَلَائِكَتِهِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ رُسُلِهِ وَ أَنْبِيَائِهِ الْمُنْتَجَبِينَ‏ وَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ كَمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ وَ أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُهُ أَبَداً عَلَيْكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Then Make the special Salawaat and its best and developing of the Blessings, and its noblest, and pure salutations, and its most complete from it, and from His^-azwj Angels of Proximity, and His^-azwj Messengers^-as, and His^-azwj Selected Prophets^-as, and the martyrs, and the righteous ones from His^-azwj sincere servants just as He^-saww is rightful of, and you^-asws are its rightful forever, upon you^-asws all!

أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ وَ أُشْهِدُكُمْ يَا مَوَالِيَّ بِأَبِي أَنْتُمْ وَ أُمِّي وَ نَفْسِي أَنِّي عَبْدُكُمْ وَ طُوبَى لِي إِنْ قَبِلْتُمُونِي عَبْداً وَ أَنِّي مُؤْمِنٌ بِكُمْ وَ بِمَا آمَنْتُمْ بِهِ كَافِرٌ بِعَدُوِّكُمْ وَ بِمَا كَفَرْتُمْ بِهِ مُسْتَبْصِرٌ بِشَأْنِكُمْ وَ بِضَلَالَةِ مَنْ خَالَفَكُمْ

I keep Allah^-azwj as Witness, and I keep you^-asws as witnesses, O my masters! May my father and my mother and myself be (sacrificed for) you^-asws, I am your^-asws servant, and beatitude is for me if you^-asws were to accept me as your^-asws servant, and I am a believer in you^-asws and with what you^-asws believe in, a disbeliever in your^-asws enemies, and with what you^-asws disbelieve in, insightful with your^-asws glory, and the straying of the ones opposing you^-asws!

مُوَالٍ لَكُمْ مُحِبٌّ لِأَوْلِيَائِكُمْ وَ مُعَادٍ لِأَعْدَائِكُمْ لَاعِنٌ لَهُمْ مُتَبَرِّئٌ مِنْهُمْ مُبْغِضٌ لَهُمْ سِلْمٌ لِمَنْ سَالَمَكُمْ حَرْبٌ لِمَنْ حَارَبَكُمْ مُحَقِّقٌ لِمَا حَقَّقْتُمْ مُبْطِلٌ لِمَا أَبْطَلْتُمْ مُطِيعٌ لَكُمْ عَارِفٌ بِحَقِّكُمْ مُقِرٌّ بِفَضْلِكُمْ

I am a friend to you^-asws, loving your^-asws friends and an enemy to your^-asws enemies, a curser of them, disavowing from them, hating them, at peace to the one at peace with you^-asws, at war to the one at war to you^-asws, a ratifier to what you^-asws ratify, and falsifier to what you^-asws falsifier, obedient to you^-asws, recognising your^-asws rights, accepter of your^-asws merits!

مُقْتَدٍ بِكُمْ مُسَلِّمٌ لِقَوْلِكُمْ مُحْتَمِلٌ لِعِلْمِكُمْ مُحْتَجِبٌ بِذِمَّتِكُمْ مُوقِنٌ بِإِيَابِكُمْ مُصَدِّقٌ بِرَجْعَتِكُمْ مُنْتَظِرٌ لِأَيَّامِكُمْ مُرْتَقِبٌ لِدَوْلَتِكُمْ آخِذٌ بِقَوْلِكُمْ عَامِلٌ بِأَمْرِكُمْ مُسْتَجِيرٌ بِكُمْ مُعْتَصِمٌ بِحَبْلِكُمُ مُحْتَرِسٌ بِكُمْ زَائِرٌ لَكُمْ لَائِذٌ بِقُبُورِكُمْ عَائِذٌ بِكُمْ مُسْتَشْفِعٌ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِكُمْ وَ مُتَوَسِّلٌ بِكُمْ إِلَيْهِ

I am a believer in you^-asws, a submitter to your^-asws words, a bearer of your^-asws knowledge, veiled by your^-asws responsibility, convinced of your^-asws coming back, a ratifier of your^-asws return, waiting for your^-asws days, watching out for your^-asws government, taking with your^-asws words, working with your^-asws instructions, seeking shelter with you^-asws, holding on to your^-asws rope, guarded by you^-asws, a visitor to you^-asws, sheltering with your^-asws graves, taking refuge with you^-asws, seeking intercession to Allah^-azwj through you^-asws, and seeking means through you^-asws to Him^-azwj!

وَ أَنْتُمْ عُدَّتِي لِلِقَائِهِ وَ حَسْبِي بِكُمْ وَ مُتَقَرِّبٌ بِكُمْ إِلَيْهِ وَ مُقَدِّمُكُمْ أَمَامَ طَلِبَتِي وَ حَوَائِجِي وَ إِرَادَتِي فِي كُلِّ أَحْوَالِي وَ أُمُورِي فِي دُنْيَايَ وَ دِينِي وَ آخِرَتِي وَ مُنْقَلَبِي وَ مَثْوَايَ

And you^-asws are my preparation for meeting Him^-azwj, and I am sufficed by you^-asws, and draw closer through you^-asws to Him^-azwj, and I forward you^-asws in front of my requests and my needs and my wants in all of my situations, and my matters in my world and my religion and my Hereafter, and my transfer and my abode!

وَ مُؤْمِنٌ بِسِرِّكُمْ وَ عَلَانِيَتِكُمْ وَ شَاهِدِكُمْ وَ غَائِبِكُمْ وَ أَوَّلِكُمْ وَ آخِرِكُمْ وَ مُفَوِّضٌ فِي ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ مُسَلِّمٌ فِيهِ لَكُمْ وَ رَأْيِي لَكُمْ مُتَّبِعٌ وَ نُصْرَتِي لَكُمْ مُعَدَّةٌ حَتَّى يُحْيِيَ اللَّهُ دِينَهُ بِكُمْ وَ يُظْهِرَكُمْ لِعَدْلِهِ فَيَرُدَّكُمْ فِي أَيَّامِهِ وَ يُقِيمَكُمْ لِخَلْقِهِ ثُمَّ يُمَلِّكَكُمْ فِي أَرْضِهِ

And I am a believer in your^-asws secrets and your^-asws announcements, and your^-asws present ones and your^-asws absent one, and your^-asws first one and your^-asws last one, and I delegate in all of that to you^-asws, and submit in it to you^-asws, and my view is a follower of you^-asws, and my help is ready for you^-asws until Allah^-azwj Revives His^-azwj religion through you^-asws, and Makes you^-asws appear for His^-azwj Justice! He^-azwj will Return you^-asws all during his^-ajfj days, and Establish you^-asws for His^-azwj creatures, then Make you^-asws kings in His^-azwj earth!

فَمَعَكُمْ مَعَكُمْ لَا مَعَ غَيْرِكُمْ وَ إِلَيْكُمْ إِلَيْكُمْ لَا إِلَى عَدُوِّكُمْ آمَنْتُ بِكُمْ وَ تَوَلَّيْتُ آخِرَكُمْ بِمَا تَوَلَّيْتُ بِهِ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَ بَرِئْتُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكُمْ- الْجِبْتِ وَ الطَّاغُوتِ وَ الْأَبَالِسَةِ وَ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَ مِنْ حِزْبِهِمْ وَ أَتْبَاعِهِمْ وَ مُحِبِّيهِمْ وَ ذَوِيهِمْ وَ الرَّاضِينَ بِهِمْ وَ بِفِعْلِهِمْ

(I am) with you^-asws, with you^-asws, not with others, and to you^-asws, to you^-asws, not to your^-asws enemies! I believe in you^-asws, and befriend your^-asws last one with what I had befriended your^-asws first one, and I disavow to Allah^-azwj from your^-asws enemies, the false gods, and the tyrants, and the devils, and the Satans^-la, from their parties, and their followers, and their loving ones, and their defenders, and the ones agreeing with them, and with their actions!

الصَّادِّينَ عَنْكُمْ الظَّالِمِينَ لَكُمْ الْجَاحِدِينَ حَقَّكُمْ الْمُفَارِقِينَ لَكُمْ الْغَاصِبِينَ إِرْثَكُمْ وَ الشَّاقِّينَ‏ فِيكُمْ وَ الْمُنْحَرِفِينَ عَنْكُمْ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ وَلِيجَةٍ دُونَكُمْ‏ وَ ثَبَّتَنِيَ اللَّهُ أَبَداً مَا حَيِيتُ وَ بَعْدَ وَفَاتِي عَلَى مُوَالاتِكُمْ وَ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ وَ دِينِكُمْ وَ وَفَّقَنِي لِطَاعَتِكُمْ وَ رَزَقَنِي شَفَاعَتَكُمْ

The hinderers from you^-asws, the oppressors to you^-asws, the rejecters of your^-asws rights, the separators from you^-asws, and usurpers of your^-asws inheritors, and the doubters in you^-asws, and the deviators from you^-asws, and from every confidant besides you^-asws, and may Allah^-azwj Affirm me forever for as long as I live after my death being upon your^-asws Wilayah, and your^-asws love, and your^-asws religion, and Harmonise me to obeying you^-asws, and Provide me your^-asws intercession!

وَ جَعَلَنِي مِنْ خِيَارِ مَوَالِيكُمُ التَّابِعِينَ مَا دَعَوْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّنْ يَقْفُو آثَارَكُمْ وَ يَسْلُكُ سَبِيلَكُمْ وَ يَقْتَدِي‏ بِهُدَاكُمْ وَ يَقْتَصُّ مِنْهَاجَكُمْ وَ يَكُونُ مِنْ حِزْبِكُمْ وَ يَتَعَلَّقُ بِحَجْزَتِكُمْ وَ يُحْشَرُ فِي زُمْرَتِكُمْ وَ يَكُرُّ فِي رَجْعَتِكُمْ وَ يُمَلَّكُ فِي دَوْلَتِكُمْ وَ يُشَرَّفُ فِي عَافِيَتِكُمْ وَ يُمَكَّنُ فِي أَيَّامِكُمْ وَ تَقَرُّ عَيْنُهُ غَداً بِرُؤْيَتِكُمْ

And Make me from your^-asws good friends, the followers of what you^-asws call to, from the ones who follow your^-asws  footsteps, walk your^-asws path, are guided by your^-asws guidance, adhere to your^-asws way, are of your^-asws party, hold fast to your^-asws bond, are gathered in your^-asws group, return with you^-asws in your^-asws return, are granted authority in your^-asws reign, are honoured in your^-asws well-being, are established in your^-asws days, and whose eyes will be delighted tomorrow by seeing you^-asws!

بِأَبِي أَنْتُمْ وَ أُمِّي وَ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي مَنْ أَرَادَ اللَّهَ بَدَأَ بِكُمْ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ اتَّبَعَكُمْ وَ مَنْ وَحَّدَهُ قَبِلَ عَنْكُمْ وَ مَنْ قَصَدَهُ تَوَجَّهَ بِكُمْ

May my father and my mother and myself and my wealth be (sacrificed for) you^-asws! One who wants Allah^-azwj should begin with you^-asws, and one who loves Him^-azwj should follow you^-asws, and one who professes His^-azwj Oneness will accept from you^-asws, and one who aims for Him^-azwj should divert through you^-asws!

لَا أُحْصِي يَا مَوَالِيَّ فَضْلَكُمْ وَ لَا أَعُدُّ ثَنَاءَكُمْ وَ لَا أَبْلُغُ مِنَ الْمَدْحِ كُنْهَكُمْ وَ مِنَ الوَصْفِ قَدْرَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ نُورُ الْأَنْوَارِ وَ هُدَاةُ الْأَبْرَارِ وَ أَئِمَّةُ الْأَخْيَارِ وَ أَصْفِيَاءُ الْجَبَّارِ بِكُمْ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ وَ بِكُمْ يَخْتِمُ وَ بِكُمْ‏ يُمْسِكُ السَّماءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ‏

O my masters! I cannot count your^-asws merits, nor enumerate your^-asws laudations, nor can I reach the praise of your^-asws essence, and from describing your^-asws worth! You^-asws are light of the lights, and guides of the righteous, and Imams^-asws of the good, and elites of the Subduer! Allah^-azwj Began with you^-asws and will End with you^-asws, and with you^-asws He^-azwj Withholds the sky from falling upon the earth, except by His^-azwj Permission!

وَ بِكُمْ‏ يُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ‏ وَ يُنَفِّسُ الْهَمَّ وَ يَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ وَ يَدْفَعُ الضُّرَّ وَ يُغْنِي الْعَدِيمَ وَ يَشْفِي السَّقِيمَ بِمَنْطِقِكُمْ نَطَقَ كُلُّ لِسَانٍ وَ بِكُمْ سَبَّحَ السُّبُّوحُ الْقُدُّوسُ وَ بِتَسْبِيحِكُمْ جَرَتِ الْأَلْسُنُ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ فِيكُمْ نَزَلَتْ رُسُلُهُ وَ عَلَيْكُمْ هَبَطَتْ مَلَائِكَتُهُ وَ إِلَيْكُمْ بُعِثَ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ

And due to you^-asws He^-azwj Sends down the rain, and Relieves the worries, and Removes the evil, and Repels the harm, and Enriches the poor, and Heals the sick! With your^-asws speech every tongue speaks, and through you^-asws the Glorified, the Holy Glorifies, and by your^-asws glorification the tongues flow with the glorification! His^-azwj Messengers^-as descended among you^-asws, and upon you^-asws His^-azwj Angels came down, and to you^-asws the Trustworthy Spirit was Sent!

وَ آتَاكُمُ اللَّهُ مَا لَمْ يُؤْتِ أَحَداً مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ طَأْطَأَ كُلُّ شَرِيفٍ لِشَرَفِكُمْ وَ بَخَعَ كُلُّ مُتَكَبِّرٍ لِطَاعَتِكُمْ وَ خَضَعَ كُلُّ جَبَّارٍ لِفَضْلِكُمْ وَ ذَلَّ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ لَكُمْ وَ أَشْرَقَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِنُورِكُمْ فَفَازَ الْفَائِزُونَ بِكُمْ وَ بِكُمْ يُسْلَكُ إِلَى الرِّضْوَانِ وَ عَلَى مَنْ يَجْحَدُ وَلَايَتَكُمْ يَغْضَبُ الرَّحْمَنُ

And Allah^-azwj has Given you^-asws what He^-azwj has not Given anyone from the worlds, lowering the heads of every noble one to your^-asws nobility, and Submitted every arrogant one to your^-asws obedience, and Humbled every Subduer to your^-asws merits, and He^-azwj will humble all things to you^-asws, and the earth will shine with your^-asws Noor. So the winning ones will win through you^-asws, and through you^-asws one travels to the (Divine) Pleasure, and upon the one who rejects your^-asws Wilayah be the Wrath of the Beneficent!

بِأَبِي أَنْتُمْ وَ أُمِّي وَ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي ذِكْرُكُمْ فِي الذَّاكِرِينَ وَ أَسْمَاؤُكُمْ فِي الْأَسْمَاءِ وَ أَجْسَادُكُمْ فِي الْأَجْسَادِ وَ أَرْوَاحُكُمْ فِي الْأَرْوَاحِ وَ أَنْفُسُكُمْ فِي النُّفُوسِ فَمَا أَحْلَى أَسْمَاءَكُمْ وَ أَكْرَمَ نُفُوسَكُمْ وَ أَعْظَمَ شَأْنَكُمْ وَ أَجَلَّ أَخْطَارَكُمْ وَ أَعْلَى أَقْدَارَكُمْ وَ أَوْفَى عَهْدَكُمْ وَ أَصْدَقَ وَعْدَكُمْ‏

May my father, and my mother, and myself, and my family, and my wealth be (sacrificed for) you^-asws! Your^-asws mention is among the mentioners, and your^-asws names are in the sky, and your^-asws bodies are among the bodies, and your^-asws souls are among the souls, and your^-asws selves are among the selves! How sweet are your^-asws names, and how honourable are your^-asws souls, and now might is your^-asws glory, and how majestic is your^-asws honour, and how exalted are your^-asws worths, and how loyal are your^-asws pacts, and how truthful are your^-asws promises!

كَلَامُكُمْ نُورٌ وَ أَمْرُكُمْ رُشْدٌ وَ وَصِيَّتُكُمْ تَقْوَى وَ فِعْلُكُمُ الْخَيْرُ وَ عَادَتُكُمُ الْإِحْسَانُ وَ سَجِيَّتُكُمُ الْكَرَمُ وَ شَأْنُكُمُ الْحَقُّ وَ رَأْيُكُمْ عِلْمٌ وَ حَزْمٌ إِنْ ذُكِرَ الْخَيْرُ كُنْتُمْ أَوَّلَهُ وَ أَصْلَهُ وَ فَرْعَهُ وَ مَعْدِنَهُ وَ مَأْوَاهُ وَ مُنْتَهَاهُ

Your^-asws speeches are Noor, and your^-asws instructions are rightful guidance, and your^-asws advices are piety, and your^-asws actions are the good, and your^-asws norm is the favours, and your^-asws nature is the benevolence, and your^-asws affairs are the truth, and your^-asws views are the knowledge and determination! If the goodness is mentioned, you^-asws would be its beginning, and its root, and its branch, and its mine, and its abode, and its ultimate!

بِأَبِي أَنْتُمْ وَ أُمِّي وَ نَفْسِي كَيْفَ أَصِفُ حُسْنَ ثَنَائِكُمْ وَ أُحْصِي جَمِيلَ بَلَائِكُمْ وَ بِكُمْ أَخْرَجَنَا اللَّهُ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ أَطْلَقَ عَنَّا رَهَائِنَ الْغُلِّ وَ وَضَعَ عَنَّا الْآصَارَ وَ فَرَّجَ عَنَّا غَمَرَاتِ الْكُرُوبِ وَ أَنْقَذَنَا مِنْ شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ بِمُوَالاتِكُمْ

May my father and my mother and myself be (sacrificed for) you^-asws! How can I describe the excellence of your^-asws praises, and count the beauty of your^-asws trials, and through you^-asws Allah^-azwj Extracted us from the humiliation, and Freed from us the bonds of the bonds of captivity, and Removed from us the burdens, and Relieved us from the depths of anguish, and Saved us from the edge of a pit of Fire through your^-asws Wilayah!

أَظْهَرَ اللَّهُ مَعَالِمَ دِينِنَا وَ أَصْلَحَ مَا كَانَ فَسَدَ مِنْ دُنْيَانَا وَ بِمُوَالاتِكُمْ تَمَّتِ الْكَلِمَةُ وَ عَظُمَتِ النِّعْمَةُ وَ ائْتَلَفَتِ الْفُرْقَةُ وَ بِمُوَالاتِكُمْ تُقْبَلُ الطَّاعَةُ الْمُفْتَرَضَةُ وَ أَعْظِمْ بِهَا طَاعَةً وَ لَكُمُ الْمَوَدَّةُ الْوَاجِبَةُ وَ أَكْرِمْ بِهَا مَوَدَّةً لَكُمُ الدَّرَجَاتُ الرَّفِيعَةُ وَ الْأَنْوَارُ الزَّاهِرَةُ وَ الْمَقَامُ الْمَعْلُومُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَ الْجَاهُ الْعَظِيمُ وَ الْقَدْرُ الْجَلِيلُ وَ الشَّأْنُ الْكَبِيرُ وَ الشَّفَاعَةُ الْمَقْبُولَةُ

Through you^-asws, Allah^-azwj Made manifest the landmarks of our religion and rectified what had become corrupt in our worldly life. Through your^-as Wilayah, the word was fulfilled, and the blessing was magnified, and division was united. Through your^-asws Wilayah, the obligatory acts of obedience are accepted, and what a great obedience that is! For you^-asws is the obligatory love, and how noble is that love! For you^-asws are the highest ranks, and the radiant lights, and the known station before Allah^-azwj,^-asws the great status,^-asws the immense worth,^-asws the lofty position, and the Accepted intercession!

رَبَّنا آمَنَّا بِما أَنْزَلْتَ وَ اتَّبَعْنَا الرَّسُولَ فَاكْتُبْنا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ‏ رَبَّنا لا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنا وَ هَبْ لَنا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ‏ رَبَّنا إِنَّنا سَمِعْنا مُنادِياً يُنادِي لِلْإِيمانِ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا

Our Lord! We believe in what You have Revealed and we follow the Rasool, so Write us down with the testifiers’ [3:53] ‘Our Lord! Do not Let our hearts to deviate after You have Guided us aright, and Grant us Mercy from You; surely You are the Bestower [3:8] Our Lord! We heard a caller calling to the Eman: ‘Believe in your Lord!’ So we believed [3:193]!

لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ مُجَاباً وَ مُسْمِعاً جَلِيلًا وَ مُنَادِياً عَظِيماً لَبَّيْكَ وَ سَعْدَيْكَ تَبَارَكْتَ وَ تَعَالَيْتَ وَ تَجَالَلْتَ وَ تَكَبَّرْتَ وَ تَعَظَّمْتَ وَ تَقَدَّسْتَ لَبَّيْكَ رَبَّنَا وَ سَعْدَيْكَ إِقْرَاراً بِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ وَ إِيقَاناً بِكَ وَ تَصْدِيقاً بِكِتَابِكَ وَ وَفَاءً بِعَهْدِكَ هَا أَنَا ذَا عَبْدُكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ

Here I am, O Allah^-azwj, here I am, responding and listening, O Majestic Listener and Mighty Caller! Here I am and at Your^-azwj assistance! Blessed are You^-azwj and Exalted, and Majestic, and Great, and Magnificent, and Holy! Here I am our Lord^-azwj and at Your^-azwj assistance, accepting Your^-azwj Lordship, and Convinced with You^-azwj, and ratifying Your^-azwj Book, and loyal with Your^-azwj Pact! Here I am, Your^-azwj servant, in front of You^-azwj!

لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ تَلْبِيَةَ الْخَائِفِ مِنْكَ الرَّاجِي لَكَ الْمُسْتَجِيرِ بِكَ رَضِينَا وَ أَحْبَبْنَا وَ سَمِعْنا وَ أَطَعْنا غُفْرانَكَ رَبَّنا وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ وَ أَنْتَ إِلَهُنَا وَ مَوْلَانَا

رَبَّنا فَاغْفِرْ لَنا ذُنُوبَنا وَ كَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئاتِنا وَ تَوَفَّنا مَعَ الْأَبْرارِ رَبَّنا وَ آتِنا ما وَعَدْتَنا عَلى‏ رُسُلِكَ وَ لا تُخْزِنا يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ

Our Lord! We heard a caller calling to the Eman: ‘Believe in your Lord!’ So we believed. Our Lord! Forgive our sins for us and Cover our evil deeds from us and Cause us to die with the righteous ones [3:193] Our Lord! And Grant us what You Promised us by Your Rasool’s and do not Disgrace on the Day of Resurrection; surely You do not break the Promise’ [3:194]!

رَبَّنا آتِنا فِي الدُّنْيا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنا بِرَحْمَتِكَ‏ عَذابَ النَّارِ سُبْحانَ رَبِّنا إِنْ كانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنا لَمَفْعُولًا

Glorious is your Lord, the Lord of Might, from what they are ascribing [37:180] And greetings be upon the Rasool’s [37:181] And the Praise is for Allah, Lord of the Worlds [37:182].

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّ هَذِهِ قُبُورُ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ مَشَاهِدُهُمْ وَ آثَارُهُمْ وَ مَغِيبُهُمْ وَ مَعَارِجُهُمْ الْفَائِزِينَ بِكَرَامَتِكَ الْمُفَضَّلِينَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ الَّذِينَ عَرَّفْتَهُمْ تِبْيَانَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ حَبَوْتَهُمْ بِمَوَارِيثِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ جَعَلْتَهُمْ حُجَجَكَ عَلَى بَرِيَّتِكَ وَ أُمَنَاءَكَ عَلَى وَحْيِكَ وَ خُزَّانَكَ عَلَى وَحْيِكَ

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ مَوَالِيَّ أَئِمَّتِي وَ قَادَتِي وَ نِعْمَ الْمَوَالِي وَ الْأَئِمَّةُ وَ الْقَادَةُ أَنْتُمْ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ السَّلَامُ لَكُمْ مِنِّي قَلِيلٌ

And may Allah^-azwj Make me from the ones who come back from visiting you^-asws, and your^-asws Zikr, and the Salawaat to you^-asws, and the greeting upon you^-asws, successful, prosperous, triumphant, safe, healthy, rich, a winner with the Pleasure of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Mercy, and His^-azwj Grace, and His^-azwj Sufficing, and His^-azwj Help, and His^-azwj Security, and His^-azwj Forgiveness, and His^-azwj Guidance, and His^-azwj Care, and His^-azwj Inclination, and His^-azwj Protection!

وَ رَزَقَنِيَ الْعَوْدَ ثُمَّ الْعَوْدَ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَانِي رَبِّي إِلَيْكُمْ بِنِيَّةٍ وَ إِيمَانٍ وَ تَقْوَى وَ إِخْبَاتٍ وَ نُورٍ وَ إِيقَانٍ وَ أَرْزَاقٍ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَاسِعَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ دَارَّةٍ هَنِيئَةٍ مَرِيئَةٍ سَلِيمَةٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ كَدٍّ وَ لَا مَنٍّ مِنْ أَحَدٍ

And may He^-azwj Grace me the return, then the return forever to you^-asws, for as long as my Lord^-azwj Causes me to remain, with (sincere) intention, and Eman, and piety, and humility, and Noor, and certainty, and provisions from His^-azwj bounty, abundant, pure, continuous, pleasant, wholesome, and sound, without hardship or obligation from anyone.

وَ نِعْمَةٍ سَابِغَةٍ وَ عَافِيَةٍ سَالِمَةٍ وَ أَوْجَبَ لِي مِنَ الْحَيَاةِ وَ الْكَرَامَةِ وَ الْبَرَكَةِ وَ الصَّلَاحِ وَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ الرِّضْوَانِ مِثْلَ مَا أَوْجَبَ لِأَوْلِيَائِهِ وَ صَالِحِي عِبَادِهِ مِنْ زُوَّارِهِمْ وَ وَافِدِيهِمْ وَ مُوَالِيهِمْ وَ مُحِبِّيهِمْ وَ حِزْبِهِمْ وَ شِيعَتِهِمْ الْعَارِفِينَ حَقَّهُمْ الْمُوجِبِينَ طَاعَتَهُمْ الْمُدْمِنِينَ ذِكْرَهُمُ الرَّاغِبِينَ فِي زِيَارَتِهِمْ الْمُنْتَظِرِينَ أَيَّامَهُمْ الْمُطِيعِينَ لَهُمْ الْمُتَقَرِّبِينَ بِذَلِكَ إِلَيْكَ وَ إِلَيْهِمْ

And may He^-azwj Bestow upon me complete Blessings, sound health, and Grant me from life, dignity, Blessing, righteousness, faith, forgiveness, and His pleasure just as He^-azwj has Granted to His^-azwj allies and righteous servants among your^-asws visitors, those who come to you^-asws, your^-asws loyal followers, your^-asws loving ones, your^-asws supporters, and your^-asws Shia, those who recognise your^-asws true status, fulfil your^-asws obedience, constantly remember you^-asws, long to visit you^-asws, await your^-asws days, obey you^-asws, and seek nearness through that to You^-azwj and to them^-asws!

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ وَفَدَتْ إِلَيْهِ الرِّجَالُ وَ شُدَّتْ إِلَيْهِ الرِّحَالُ وَ صُرِفَتْ نَحْوَهُ الْآمَالُ وَ ارْتُجِيَ لِلرَّغَائِبِ وَ الْإِفْضَالِ وَ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي أَكْرَمُ مَأْتِيٍّ وَ أَكْرَمُ مَزُورٍ

O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are the best One to Whom people come, to Whom journeys are made, toward Whom hopes are directed, and from Whom desires and generosity are sought, While you, O my master, are the most generous of those approached and the most honourable of those visited!

وَ قَدْ جَعَلْتَ لِكُلِّ زَائِرٍ كَرَامَةً وَ لِكُلِّ وَافِدٍ تُحْفَةً وَ لِكُلِّ سَائِرٍ عَطِيَّةً وَ لِكُلِّ رَاجٍ ثَوَاباً وَ لِكُلِّ مُلْتَمِسِ مَا عِنْدَكَ جَزَاءً وَ لِكُلِّ رَاغِبٍ إِلَيْكَ هِبَةً وَ لِكُلِّ مَنْ فَزِعَ إِلَيْكَ رَحْمَةً وَ لِكُلِّ مُتَضَرِّعٍ إِلَيْكَ إِجَابَةً وَ لِكُلِّ مُتَوَسِّلٍ إِلَيْكَ عَفْواً

And You^-azwj have Made honour to be for every visitor, and a gift for every delegate, and an award for every traveller, and Reward for every hopeful, and a bestowal for every seeker of what is in Your^-azwj Presence and desiring to You^-azwj, and Mercy for every one who panics to You^-azwj, and Response for every one beseeching to You^-azwj, and Pardon for every one seeking means to You^-azwj!

وَ قَدْ جِئْتُكَ زَائِراً لِقُبُورِ أَحِبَّائِكَ وَ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ وَافِداً إِلَيْهِمْ نَازِلًا بِفِنَائِهِمْ قَاصِداً لِحَرَمِهِمْ رَاغِباً فِي شَفَاعَتِهِمْ مُلْتَمِساً مَا عِنْدَهُمْ رَاجِياً لَهُمْ مُتَوَسِّلًا إِلَيْكَ بِهِمْ

And I have come to You^-azwj as a visitor of graves of Your^-azwj Loved ones, and Your^-azwj Choice from Your^-azwj servants, a delegate to them^-asws, descending at their^-asws courtyard, aiming to their^-asws sanctuaries, desiring regarding their^-asws intercession, seeking what is in their^-asws possession, desiring to them^-asws, seeking means to You^-azwj through them!

وَ حَقٌّ عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا تُخَيِّبَ سَائِلَهُمْ وَ وَافِدَهُمْ وَ النَّازِلَ بِفِنَائِهِمْ وَ الْمُنِيخَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ مِنْ حِزْبِهِمْ وَ أَشْيَاعِهِمْ وَ وَقَفْتُ بِهَذَا الْمَقَامِ الشَّرِيفِ رَجَاءَ مَا عِنْدَكَ لِزُوَّارِهِمْ وَ الْمُطِيعِينَ لَهُمْ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ الْفَضْلِ وَ الْإِنْعَامِ فَلَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَخْيَبِ وَفْدِكَ وَ وَفْدِهِمْ

And there is a right upon You^-azwj not to disappoint one asking them^-asws, and delegating to them^-asws, and the descending at their^-asws courtyard, and from among their party and loyalists, and I stand at this noble station hoping for what You^-azwj have reserved for their visitors and those obedient to them^-asws, of Mercy, and Forgiveness, and Grace, and Generosity. So do not make me among the most disappointed of those delegating to You^-azwj and delegating to them^-asws!

The fourth Ziyarat – ‘Kamil Al Ziyaraat’ – My father and a group of my elders, from Muhammad Al Attar, and it is narrated to me by Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Bin Matti Al Jowfari, altogether from Al Ash’ari, from Ali Bin Hassan, from Urwah a cousin of Shueyb Al Aqarquqi, from the one who mentioned it,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘You should say when you come to the grave of Al-Husayn^-asws Bin Ali^-asws, and it would suffice you at the grave of every Imam^-asws, ‘The Greeting be upon you from Allah^-azwj, and the greeting be upon Muhammad^-saww, trustee of Allah^-azwj upon His^-azwj Messengers^-as, and His^-azwj Determined Command, the last of what have preceded, and the beginner of what is to come (in the future)!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ الَّذِي انْتَجَبْتَهُ بِعِلْمِكَ وَ جَعَلْتَهُ هَادِياً لِمَنْ شِئْتَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ الدَّلِيلَ عَلَى مَنْ بَعَثْتَ بِرِسَالاتِكَ وَ كُتُبِكَ وَ دَيَّانَ الدِّينِ بِعَدْلِكَ وَ فَصْلَ قَضَائِكَ بَيْنَ خَلْقِكَ وَ الْمُهَيْمِنَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww, Your^-azwj servant and Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww whom You^-azwj Selected with Your^-azwj Knowledge, and Made him^-saww a guide for the one You^-azwj Desire from Your^-azwj creatures, and the pointer to the ones You^-azwj had Send with Your^-azwj Messages and Your^-azwj Books, and judge of the religion with Your^-azwj Justice, and Your^-azwj Decisive Decrees between Your^-azwj creatures, and the dominant upon that, all of it, and the greeting be upon him^-saww and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’

وَ تَقُولُ فِي زِيَارَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏ عَبْدِكَ وَ أَخِي رَسُولِكَ إِلَى آخِرِهِ

And you should say in Ziyarat of Amir Al-Momineen^-asws, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Ali^-asws Amir Al-Momineen^-asws, Your^-azwj servant, and brother of Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww’ – up to its end.

And in Ziyarat of (Syeda) Fatima^-asws, ‘Your^-azwj maid and daughter of Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww’.

وَ فِي زِيَارَةِ فَاطِمَةَ أَمَتِكَ وَ بِنْتِ رَسُولِكَ وَ فِي سَائِرِ الْأَئِمَّةِ أَبْنَاءِ رَسُولِكَ عَلَى مَا قُلْتَ فِي النَّبِيِّ ص فِي أَوَّلِ مَرَّةٍ حَتَّى تَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى صَاحِبِكَ

And in (Ziyarat of) rest of the Imams^-asws, ‘Sons of Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww’, based upon what you said regarding the Prophet^-saww in the first time until you end to your master^-asws.

ثُمَّ تَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ كَلِمَةُ التَّقْوَى وَ بَابُ الْهُدَى وَ الْعُرْوَةُ الْوُثْقَى وَ الْحُجَّةُ الْبَالِغَةُ عَلَى مَنْ فِيهَا وَ مَنْ تَحْتَ الثَّرَى وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ وَ طِينَتَكُمْ مِنْ طِينَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ طَابَتْ وَ طَهُرَتْ مِنْ نُورِ اللَّهِ وَ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ وَ أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ وَ أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي لَكُمْ تَبَعٌ بِذَاتِ نَفْسِي وَ شَرَائِعِ دِينِي وَ خَوَاتِيمِ عَمَلِي

Then you should say, ‘I testify you^-asws are the word of piety, and the door of guidance, and the firmest handhold, and the conclusive argument upon the ones in it, and the ones beneath the soil, and I testify that your^-asws souls and your essences are from one essence! You^-asws are made good and purified from the Noor of Allah^-azwj, and from His^-azwj Mercy, and I keep Allah^-azwj and keep you^-asws all as witnesses, I am a follower of yours^-asws with my own self, and laws of my religion, and outcomes of my actions!

اللَّهُمَّ فَأَتْمِمْ لِي ذَلِكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ عَنِ اللَّهِ مَا أُمِرْتَ بِهِ وَ قُمْتَ بِحَقِّهِ غَيْرَ وَاهِنٍ وَ لَا مُوهِنٍ فَجَزَاكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ صِدِّيقٍ خَيْراً عَنْ رَعِيَّتِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Complete that for me with Your^-azwj Mercy! The greeting be upon you^-asws, O Abu Abdullah^-asws! I testify you^-asws have delivered on behalf of Allah^-azwj you^-asws had been Commanded with, and you^-asws stood with His^-azwj right, neither weak nor debilitating. May Allah^-azwj Recompense you^-asws for being a good friend of your^-asws citizens (followers)!

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الْجِهَادَ مَعَكَ جِهَادٌ وَ أَنَّ الْحَقَّ مَعَكَ وَ لَكَ وَ أَنْتَ مَعْدِنُهُ وَ مِيرَاثُ النُّبُوَّةِ عِنْدَكَ وَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ

I testify that the Jihad alongside you^-asws is Jihad, and the truth is with you^-asws, and for you^-asws, and you^-asws are its mine, and inheritance of the Prophet-hood is in your^-asws possession, and People^-asws of your^-asws household!

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ أَقَمْتَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ آتَيْتَ الزَّكَاةَ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ دَعَوْتَ‏ إِلى‏ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَ عَبَدْتَ رَبَّكَ حَتَّى أَتَاكَ الْيَقِينُ

I testify you^-asws have established the Salat, and gave the Zakat, and instructed with the good and forbade from the evil, and called to the way of your^-asws Lord^-azwj with the wisdom and the excellent preaching, and worshipped your^-asws Lord^-azwj until the certainty (death) came to you^-asws!’

وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَلَائِكَةِ اللَّهِ الْمُسَوِّمِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَلَائِكَةِ اللَّهِ الْمُنْزَلِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَلَائِكَةِ اللَّهِ الْمُرْدِفِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَلَائِكَةِ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي هَذَا الْحَرَمِ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ مُقِيمُونَ

And you should say, ‘The greeting be upon the marked Angels of Allah^-azwj! The greeting be upon the descending Angels of Allah^-azwj! The greeting be upon the successive Angels of Allah^-azwj! The greeting be upon the Angels of Allah^-azwj, those who are in this sanctuary residing by the Permission of Allah^-azwj!’

ثُمَّ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنِ اللَّذَيْنِ بَدَّلَا نِعْمَتَكَ وَ خَالَفَا كِتَابَكَ وَ جَحَدَا آيَاتِكَ وَ اتَّهَمَا رَسُولَكَ احْشُ قَبْرَهُمَا وَ أَجْوَافَهُمَا نَاراً وَ أَعِدَّ لَهُمَا عَذَاباً أَلِيماً وَ احْشُرْهُمَا وَ أَشْيَاعَهُمَا إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ زُرْقاً احْشُرْهُمَا وَ أَشْيَاعَهُمَا وَ أَتْبَاعَهُمَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلى‏ وُجُوهِهِمْ عُمْياً وَ بُكْماً وَ صُمًّا مَأْواهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ كُلَّما خَبَتْ زِدْناهُمْ سَعِيراً

Then you should say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Curse those two who replaced Your^-azwj bounties, and opposed Your^-azwj Book, and rejected Your^-azwj signs, and slandered Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww! Fill both their graves and their interiors with fire and Prepare for them a painful Punishment, and Gather them and their adherents to Hell blue-eye! Gather them on the Day of Judgment upon their faces, blind, dumb, deaf, their abode being Hell. Every time it abates, We will Increase them with blazes [17:97]!

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ ابْنِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ ابْعَثْهُ مَقَاماً مَحْمُوداً تَنْتَصِرُ بِهِ لِدِينِكَ وَ تَقْتُلُ بِهِ عَدُوَّكَ فَإِنَّكَ وَعَدْتَهُ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي‏ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ وَ كَذَلِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Do not Make it last of the pacts of visiting the grave of a son^-ajfj of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, and Resurrect him^-ajfj is a praiseworthy position, achieve victory for Your^-azwj religion through him^-ajfj, and Kill Your^-azwj enemies through him^-ajfj, for You^-azwj have Promised him^-ajfj, and You^-azwj are the Lord^-azwj Who does not break the Promise!’

تَقُولُ عِنْدَ قُبُورِ كُلِّ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع‏ وَ تَقُولُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ إِمَامٍ زُرْتَهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نُورَ اللَّهِ فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْأَرْضِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا إِمَامَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ وَارِثَ عِلْمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ سُلَالَةَ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ الشَّهِيدَ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ

You should say at the graves of all the Imams^-asws, and you should say in the presence of every Imam^-asws you visit, if Allah^-azwj so Desires, ‘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 is darkness(es) of the earth!

I testify you^-asws and your^-asws forefathers^-asws, those from before you^-asws, and your^-asws sons^-asws, those from after you^-asws, are my masters, and my guardians!

The fifth Ziyarat reported by the Seyyid and compiler of ‘Al-Mazar Al-Kabeer’, may Allah^-azwj Mercy them. They said, ‘It is reported from the Imams^-asws, when you want that, let it be from your words at making the pacts being upon the determination and the (sincere) intention: –

اللَّهُمَّ صِلْ عَزْمِي بِالتَّحْقِيقِ وَ نِيَّتِي بِالتَّوْفِيقِ وَ رَجَائِي بِالتَّصْدِيقِ وَ تَوَلَّ أَمْرِي وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي فَأَحُلَّ عُقْدَةَ الْخِيَرَةِ وَ أَتَخَلَّفَ عَنْ حُضُورِ الْمَشَاهِدِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ

‘O Allah^-azwj! Connect my determination with the reality, and my intention with the inclination, and my hopes with the ratification, and Take charge of my affairs and do not Allocated me to myself for I would loosen the good beliefs and stay behind from presenting at the Holy Mausoleums!’

وَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ خُرُوجِكَ وَ قُلْ بِعَقِبِهِمَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ دِينِي وَ نَفْسِي وَ جَمِيعَ حُزَانَتِي اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَ الْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَ الْمَالِ وَ الْوَلَدِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ سُوءِ الصُّحْبَةِ وَ إِخْفَاق الْأَوْبَةِ

And pray two units Salat before you go out, and say as their follow-up, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I entrust You^-azwj my religion, and my soul, and the entirety of those I hold dear! O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are the Companions in the journey, and the Replacement regarding the family and the wealth and the children! O Allah^-azwj! I take refuge with You^-azwj from the evil companionship and failure in returning!

اللَّهُمَّ سَهِّلْ لَنَا حُزْنَ مَا نَتَغَوَّلُ‏ وَ يَسِّرْ عَلَيْنَا مُسْتَغْزَرَ مَا نَرُوحُ وَ نَغْدُو لَهُ‏ إِنَّكَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ-

O Allah^-azwj! Ease for us the hardship of what we must pass through, and Facilitate for us the difficulty of what we set out for in the morning and evening. Indeed, You^-azwj are Able upon all things!

وَ إِذَا سَلَكْتَ عَلَى طَرِيقِكَ فَلْيَكُنْ هَمُّكَ لِمَا سَلَكْتَ لَهُ وَ لْتُقَلِّلْ مِنْ حَالٍ تَغُضُّ مِنْكَ وَ لْتُحْسِنِ الصُّحْبَةَ لِمَنْ صَحِبَكَ وَ أَكْثِرْ مِنَ الثَّنَاءِ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى ذِكْرُهُ وَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ

And when you set out on your path, let your concern be for that which you have set out to achieve. Minimise any condition that would lower your worth. Treat well those who accompany you, and frequent the praise Allah^-azwj, Exalted is His^-azwj Mention, and the Salawaat upon His^-azwj Rasool^-saww.

فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ الْغُسْلَ لِلزِّيَارَةِ فَقُلْ وَ أَنْتَ تَغْتَسِلُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

When you want to bathe for the Ziyarat, say while you are bathing, ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj, and by Allah^-azwj, and in the way of Allah^-azwj, and upon the religion of Rasool-Allah^-saww!

اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ عَنِّي دَرَنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ وَسَخَ الْعُيُوبِ وَ طَهِّرْنِي بِمَاءِ التَّوْبَةِ وَ أَلْبِسْنِي رِدَاءَ الْعِصْمَةِ وَ أَيِّدْنِي بِلُطْفٍ مِنْكَ يُوَفِّقُنِي لِصَالِحِ الْأَعْمَالِ إِنَّكَ‏ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ‏

O Allah^-azwj! Wash off from me the filth of sins, and the dirt of faults, and Purify me with the water of repentance, and Clothe me with the robe of protection, and Aid me Compassion from You^-azwj, Harmonise me for the righteous deeds, You^-azwj are Possessor of the Magnificent Grace!’

فَإِذَا دَنَوْتَ مِنْ بَابِ الْمَشْهَدِ فَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي وَفَّقَنِي لِقَصْدِ وَلِيِّهِ وَ زِيَارَةِ حُجَّتِهِ وَ أَوْرَدَنِي حَرَمَهُ وَ لَمْ يَبْخَسْنِي حَظِّي مِنْ زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِهِ وَ النُّزُولِ بِعَقْوَةِ مُغَيَّبِهِ وَ سَاحَةِ تُرْبَتِهِ

When you are close from a door of the Mausoleum, say, ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Harmonised me to aim for His^-azwj guardian, and visiting His^-azwj Divine authority, and Brought me to His^-azwj Sacred precinct and did not Deprive me of the fortune of visiting his^-asws grave, and arriving at the place of his^-asws absence and the courtyard of his^-asws soil.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَسِمْنِي بِحِرْمَانِ مَا أَمَّلْتُهُ وَ لَا صَرَفَ عَنِّي مَا رَجَوْتُهُ وَ لَا قَطَعَ رَجَائِي فِيمَا تَوَقَّعْتُهُ بَلْ أَلْبَسَنِي عَافِيَتَهُ وَ أَفَادَنِي نِعْمَتَهُ وَ آتَانِي كَرَامَتَهُ

The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who did not Mark me with the deprivation of what I hoped for, nor Turned me away from what I sought, nor cut off my hope in what I expected. Rather, He^-azwj Clothed me in His^-azwj well-being, Granted me His^-azwj Blessing, and Bestowed His^-azwj Benevolence upon me!

فَإِذَا دَخَلْتَ الْمَشْهَدَ فَقِفْ عَلَى الضَّرِيحِ الطَّاهِرِ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَئِمَّةَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ سَادَةَ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ كُبَرَاءَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ أُمَرَاءَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ قَادَةَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ وَ أَعْلَامَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَ أَنْوَارَ الْعَارِفِينَ وَ وَرَثَةَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ صَفْوَةَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ شُمُوسَ الْأَتْقِيَاءِ وَ بُدُورَ الْخُلَفَاءِ وَ عِبَادَ الرَّحْمَنِ وَ شُرَكَاءَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ مَنْهَجَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ مَعَادِنَ الْحَقَائِقِ وَ شُفَعَاءَ الْخَلَائِقِ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

When you have entered the Mausoleum, pause at the pure Shrine and say, ‘The greeting be upon you^-asws, Imams^-asws of the Momineen, and chief of the pious, and great ones of the truthful, and governors of the righteous, and guides of the good doers, and flags of the guided ones, and lights of the Gnostic(s), and inheritors of the Prophets^-as, and elites of the successors^-as, and suns (radiant faces) of the pious, and moons of the caliphs, and servants of the beneficent, and associates of the Quran, and manifestos of the Eman, and mines of the realities, and intercessors of the creatures, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ أَبْوَابُ اللَّهِ وَ مَفَاتِيحُ رَحْمَتِهِ وَ مَقَالِيدُ مَغْفِرَتِهِ وَ سَحَائِبُ‏ رِضْوَانِهِ وَ مَصَابِيحُ جِنَانِهِ وَ حَمَلَةُ فُرْقَانِهِ وَ خَزَنَةُ عِلْمِهِ وَ حَفَظَةُ سِرِّهِ وَ مَهْبِطُ وَحْيِهِ وَ أَمَانَاتُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ وَدَائِعُ الرِّسَالَةِ

I testify you^-asws are doors of Allah^-azwj, and keys of His^-azwj Mercy, and reins of His^-azwj Forgiveness, and clouds of His^-azwj Pleasure, and lamps of His^-azwj Gardens, and bearers of His^-azwj Criterion, and treasurers of His^-azwj Knowledge, and protectors of His^-azwj secrets, and descending place of His^-azwj Revelation, and entrustment of the Prophet-hood, and repository of the Message!

أَنْتُمْ أُمَنَاءُ اللَّهِ وَ أَحِبَّاؤُهُ وَ عِبَادُهُ وَ أَصْفِيَاؤُهُ وَ أَنْصَارُ تَوْحِيدِهِ وَ أَرْكَانُ تَمْجِيدِهِ وَ دُعَاتُهُ إِلَى كُتُبِهِ وَ حَرَسَةُ خَلَائِقِهِ وَ حَفَظَةُ وَدَائِعِهِ

You are the trustees of Allah^-azwj, and His^-azwj Loved ones, and His^-azwj servants, and His^-azwj elites, and helpers of His^-azwj Oneness, and pillars of His^-azwj Glory, and callers to His^-azwj Books, and guards of His^-azwj creatures, and protectors of His^-azwj trusts!

لَا يَسْبِقُكُمْ ثَنَاءُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فِي الْإِخْلَاصِ وَ الْخُشُوعِ وَ لَا يُضَادُّكُمْ ذُو ابْتِهَالٍ وَ خُضُوعٍ أَنَّى وَ لَكُمُ الْقُلُوبُ الَّتِي تَوَلَّى اللَّهُ رِيَاضَتَهَا بِالْخَوْفِ وَ الرَّجَاءِ وَ جَعَلَهَا أَوْعِيَةً لِلشُّكْرِ وَ الثَّنَاءِ وَ آمَنَهَا مِنْ عَوَارِضِ الْغَفْلَةِ وَ صَفَّاهَا مِنْ شَوَاغِلِ الْفَتْرَةِ بَلْ يَتَقَرَّبُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ بِحُبِّكُمْ وَ بِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكُمْ وَ تَوَاتُرِ الْبُكَاءِ عَلَى مُصَابِكُمْ وَ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ لِشِيعَتِكُمْ وَ مُحِبِّيكُمْ

The praise of the Angels in sincerity and humility does not surpass you^-asws, nor can anyone devoted in supplication and submission compare with you^-asws! How could they, when yours^-asws are the hearts that Allah^-azwj Himself^-azwj has Disciplined with fear and hope, Made them vessels of gratitude and praise, Secured them from the intrusions of heedlessness, and Purified them from the distractions of weakness. Indeed, the inhabitants of the skies seek closeness to Allah^-azwj through love for you^-asws, disavowal of your^-asws enemies, continuous weeping over your^-asws suffering, and seeking forgiveness for your^-asws followers and those who love you^-asws!

فَأَنَا أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ خَالِقِي وَ أُشْهِدُ مَلَائِكَتَهُ وَ أَنْبِيَاءَهُ وَ أُشْهِدُكُمْ يَا مَوَالِيَّ أَنِّي مُؤْمِنٌ بِوَلَايَتِكُمْ مُعْتَقِدٌ لِإِمَامَتِكُمْ مُقِرٌّ بِخِلَافَتِكُمْ عَارِفٌ بِمَنْزِلَتِكُمْ مُوقِنٌ بِعِصْمَتِكُمْ خَاضِعٌ لِوَلَايَتِكُمْ مُتَقَرِّبٌ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِحُبِّكُمْ وَ بِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكُمْ

I testify Allah^-azwj is my Creator, and I keep as witnesses His^-azwj Angels and His^-azwj Prophets^-as, and I keep you^-asws as witnesses, my masters, I am a believer in your^-asws Wilayah, believing in your^-asws Imamate, accepter of your^-asws caliphate, a recogniser of your^-asws status, convinced of your^-asws infallibility, humble to your^-asws Wilayah, acknowledging to Allah^-azwj with love for your^-asws and with the disavowing from your^-asws enemies!

عَالِمٌ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ طَهَّرَكُمْ مِنَ الْفَوَاحِشِ‏ ما ظَهَرَ مِنْها وَ ما بَطَنَ‏ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ رِيبَةٍ وَ نَجَاسَةٍ وَ دَنِيَّةٍ وَ رَجَاسَةٍ وَ مَنَحَكُمْ رَايَةَ الْحَقِّ الَّتِي مَنْ تَقَدَّمَهَا ضَلَّ وَ مَنْ تَأَخَّرَ عَنْهَا زَلَّ وَ فَرَضَ طَاعَتَكُمْ عَلَى كُلِّ أَسْوَدَ وَ أَبْيَضَ

I am a knower that Allah^-azwj has Kept Away the immoralities from you^-asws, whatever is apparent from it and whatever is hidden, and from every doubt, and filth, and lowliness, and uncleanness, and Granted you^-asws the flag of truth which one who goes ahead of it strays, and one who stays back from it slips, and He^-azwj Imposed obedience to you^-asws upon every black and white!

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ وَفَيْتُمْ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَ ذِمَّتِهِ وَ بِكُلِّ مَا اشْتَرَطَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ دَعَوْتُمْ إِلَى سَبِيلِهِ وَ أَنْفَذْتُمْ طَاقَتَكُمْ فِي مَرْضَاتِهِ وَ حَمَلْتُمُ الْخَلَائِقَ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ مَسَالِكِ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ سِرْتُمْ فِيهِ بِسِيرَةِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ مَذَاهِبِ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ فَلَمْ يُطَعْ لَكُمْ أَمْرٌ وَ لَمْ تُصْغِ إِلَيْكُمْ أُذُنٌ فَصَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَرْوَاحِكُمْ وَ أَجْسَادِكُمْ‏

And I testify you^-asws have been loyal with the Pact of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Guarantee, and with all what He^-azwj has Stipulated upon you^-asws in His^-azwj Book, and Called you to His^-azwj way, and exerted your^-asws utmost effort in seeking His^-azwj Pleasure, guided the people according to the manifesto of Prophethood and the ways of the Message, and you^-asws followed the conduct of the Prophets^-as and the methods of the successors^-as. Yet your^-asws instruction was not obeyed, and no ear listened to you^-asws! May the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon your^-asws souls and your^-asws bodies!’

ثُمَّ تَنْكَبُّ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ تَقُولُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ أُرْضِعْتَ بِثَدْيِ الْإِيمَانِ وَ فُطِمْتَ بِنُورِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ غُذِّيتَ بِبَرْدِ الْيَقِينِ وَ أُلْبِسْتَ حُلَلَ الْعِصْمَةِ

Then he devotes upon the grave, and say, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed for) you^-asws O Divine authority of Allah^-azwj! I am pleased with being breastfed by the Eman and weaned by the Noor of Al-Islam, and fed with the coolness of the conviction, and clothed by the garment of protection!

وَ اصْطُفِيتَ وَ وُرِّثْتَ عِلْمَ الْكِتَابِ وَ لُقِّنْتَ فَصْلَ الْخِطَابِ وَ أُوضِحَ بِمَكَانِكَ مَعَارِفُ التَّنْزِيلِ وَ غَوَامِضُ التَّأْوِيلِ وَ سُلِّمَتْ إِلَيْكَ رَايَةُ الْحَقِّ وَ كُلِّفْتَ هِدَايَةَ الْخَلْقِ‏ وَ نُبِذَ إِلَيْكَ عَهْدُ الْإِمَامَةِ وَ أُلْزِمْتَ حِفْظَ الشَّرِيعَةِ

And you^-asws have been Chosen, and inherited knowledge of the Book, and indoctrinated the decisive address, and through your^-asws position, the understandings of Revelation and the mysteries of interpretation were clarified. The banner of truth was entrusted to you^-asws, and you^-asws were charged with guiding the creation. The covenant of leadership was handed to you^-asws, and you^-asws were made responsible for safeguarding the law!

وَ أَشْهَدُ يَا مَوْلَايَ أَنَّكَ وَفَيْتَ بِشَرَائِطِ الْوَصِيَّةِ وَ قَضَيْتَ مَا لَزِمَكَ مِنْ حَدِّ الطَّاعَةِ وَ نَهَضْتَ بِأَعْبَاءِ الْإِمَامَةِ وَ احْتَذَيْتَ مِثَالَ النُّبُوَّةِ فِي الصَّبْرِ وَ الِاجْتِهَادِ وَ النَّصِيحَةِ لِلْعِبَادِ وَ كَظْمِ الْغَيْظِ وَ الْعَفْوِ عَنِ النَّاسِ وَ عَزَمْتَ عَلَى الْعَدْلِ فِي الْبَرِيَّةِ وَ النَّصَفَةِ فِي الْقَضِيَّةِ

And I testify, O my master, you^-asws have fulfilled the conditions of the testament, carried out what was obligatory upon you^-asws in terms of obedience, bore the burdens of leadership, and followed the example of prophethood in patience, striving, advising the servants, restraining anger, and pardoning people. You^-asws were determined to uphold justice among the creation and fairness in judgment.

وَ وَكَّدْتَ الْحُجَجَ عَلَى الْأُمَّةِ بِالدَّلَائِلِ الصَّادِقَةِ وَ الشَّوَاهِدِ النَّاطِقَةِ وَ دَعَوْتَ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِالْحِكْمَةِ الْبَالِغَةِ وَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ فَمَنَعْتَ مِنْ تَقْوِيمِ الزَّيْغِ وَ سَدِّ الثَّلْمِ وَ إِصْلَاحِ الْفَاسِدِ وَ كَسْرِ الْمُعَانِدِ وَ إِحْيَاءِ السُّنَنِ وَ إِمَاتَةِ الْبِدَعِ حَتَّى فَارَقْتَ الدُّنْيَا وَ أَنْتَ شَهِيدٌ وَ لَقِيتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَنْتَ حَمِيدٌ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ تَتَرَادَفُ وَ تَزِيدُ

You^-asws firmly established the proofs upon the nation with truthful evidence(s) and eloquent testimonies. You^-asws called to Allah^-azwj with profound wisdom and excellent preaching. You^-asws prevented deviation from being regarded as straight, sales to be breached, and corruption as being correct, and prevalence of the obstinate, and you^-asws revived the Sunnah and extinguished innovations until you^-asws departed from this world as a martyr and met Rasool-Allah^-azwj and you^-asws were praised! May the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon you^-asws, continuously and increased!’

ثُمَّ صِرْ إِلَى عِنْدِ الرِّجْلَيْنِ وَ قُلْ يَا سَادَتِي يَا آلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنِّي بِكُمْ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَلَا بِالْخِلَافِ عَلَى الَّذِينَ غَدَرُوا بِكُمْ وَ نَكَثُوا بَيْعَتَكُمْ وَ جَحَدُوا وَلَايَتَكُمْ وَ أَنْكَرُوا مَنْزِلَتَكُمْ وَ خَلَعُوا رِبْقَةَ طَاعَتِكُمْ وَ هَجَرُوا أَسْبَابَ مَوَدَّتِكُمْ وَ تَقَرَّبُوا إِلَى فَرَاعِنَتِهِمْ بِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْكُمْ وَ الْإِعْرَاضِ عَنْكُمْ

Then come to be by the legs and say, ‘O my chiefs! O Progeny^-asws of Rasool-Allah^-saww! I am with you^-asws! I draw closer to Allah^-azwj, Majestic and Exalted, by opposing those who betrayed you^-asws and broke your^-asws allegiance, and rejected your^-asws Wilayah and denied your^-asws status, and cast off the bond of obedience to you^-asws status, and abandoned the causes of your^-asws status love, and drew near to their tyrants by disavowing you^-asws status and turning away from you^-asws status!

وَ مَنَعُوكُمْ مِنْ إِقَامَةِ الْحُدُودِ وَ اسْتِئْصَالِ الْجُحُودِ وَ شَعْبِ الصَّدْعِ وَ لَمِّ الشَّعَثِ وَ سَدِّ الْخَلَلِ وَ تَثْقِيفِ الْأَوَدِ وَ إِمْضَاءِ الْأَحْكَامِ وَ تَهْذِيبِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ قَمْعِ الْآثَامِ وَ أَرْهَجُوا عَلَيْكُمْ نَقْعَ الْحُرُوبِ وَ الْفِتَنِ وَ أَنْحَوْا عَلَيْكُمْ سُيُوفَ الْأَحْقَاد

They prevented you^-asws from establishing the Divine Limits, and uprooting the denial, and mending the divisions, and uniting the scattered, and closing the gaps, and straightening the deviations, and implementing the ruling, and refining (reaffirming) Al-Islam and suppressing the sins, and they raised the dust of wars and the Fitna, and they turned the swords of hatred against you^-asws!

وَ هَتَكُوا مِنْكُمُ السُّتُورَ وَ ابْتَاعُوا بِخُمُسِكُمُ الْخُمُورَ وَ صَرَفُوا صَدَقَاتِ الْمَسَاكِينِ إِلَى الْمُضْحِكِينَ وَ السَّاخِرِينَ وَ ذَلِكَ بِمَا طَرَّقَتْ لَهُمُ الْفَسَقَةُ الْغُوَاةُ وَ الْحَسَدَةُ الْبُغَاةُ أَهْلُ النَّكْثِ وَ الْغَدْرِ وَ الْخِلَافِ وَ الْمَكْرِ وَ الْقُلُوبِ الْمُنْتِنَةِ مِنْ قَذَرِ الشِّرْكِ وَ الْأَجْسَادِ الْمُشْحَنَةِ مِنْ دَرَنِ الْكُفْرِ أَضَبُّوا عَلَى النِّفَاقِ وَ أَكَبُّوا عَلَى عَلَائِقِ الشِّقَاقِ

And they violated the curtains from you^-asws, and sought the wine with your^-asws ‘Khums’ money, and they diverted the charities of the poor to the comedians and the jesters, and that is due to what the corrupt, the misguided, and the envious, and the rebels, people of betrayal, and the treachery, and the opposition, and the plots, and the hearts polluted from the dirt of Polytheism and bodies filled with the impurity of Kufr clung stubbornly to hypocrisy and were immersed in the attachments of discord!

فَلَمَّا مَضَى الْمُصْطَفَى صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ اخْتَطَفُوا الْغِرَّةَ وَ انْتَهَزُوا الْفُرْصَةَ وَ انْتَهَكُوا الْحُرْمَةَ وَ غَادَرُوهُ عَلَى فِرَاشِ الْوَفَاةِ وَ أَسْرَعُوا لِنَقْضِ الْبَيْعَةِ وَ مُخَالَفَةِ الْمَوَاثِيقِ الْمُؤَكَّدَةِ وَ خِيَانَةِ الْأَمَانَةِ الْمَعْرُوضَةِ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ الرَّاسِيَةِ وَ أَبَتْ أَنْ تَحْمِلَهَا وَ حَمَلَهَا الْإِنْسَانُ الظَّلُومُ الْجَهُولُ ذُو الشِّقَاقِ وَ الْعِزَّةِ بِالْآثَامِ الْمُولِمَةِ وَ الْأَنَفَةِ عَنِ الِانْقِيَادِ لِحَمِيدِ الْعَاقِبَةِ

When Al-Mustafa^-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, passed away, they seized the opportunity and took advantage of the moment. They violated the sanctity and left him^-saww on his deathbed, rushing to break the pledge and oppose the firmly established covenants, betraying the entrustment that had been offered to the mighty mountains which refused to bear it, and it was borne by the human being, the ever-unjust, the ignorant, full of discord, and priding with the sins, too arrogant to submit to a praiseworthy outcome!

فَحُشِرَ سَفِلَةُ الْأَعْرَابِ وَ بَقَايَا الْأَحْزَابِ إِلَى دَارِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مَهْبِطِ الْوَحْيِ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ مُسْتَقَرِّ سُلْطَانِ الْوَلَايَةِ وَ مَعْدِنِ الْوَصِيَّةِ وَ الْخِلَافَةِ وَ الْإِمَامَةِ حَتَّى نَقَضُوا عَهْدَ الْمُصْطَفَى فِي أَخِيهِ عَلَمِ الْهُدَى وَ الْمُبَيِّنِ طَرِيقَ النَّجَاةِ مِنْ طُرُقِ الرَّدَى

So, the lowly among the desert Arabs and the remnants of opposing factions gathered at the house of Prophet-hood and Messenger-ship, the place where Revelation and Angels descended, the seat of the authority of the Wilayah, the source of the will, succession, and leadership, until they broke the Covenant of the Chosen One regarding his^-saww brother^-asws, the banner of guidance and the one who clarified the path of salvation from the ways of ruin!

وَ جَرَحُوا كَبِدَ خَيْرِ الْوَرَى فِي ظُلْمِ ابْنَتِهِ وَ اضْطِهَادِ حَبِيبَتِهِ وَ اهْتِضَامِ عَزِيزَتِهِ بَضْعَةِ لَحْمِهِ وَ فِلْذَةِ كَبِدِهِ وَ خَذَلُوا بَعْلَهَا وَ صَغَّرُوا قَدْرَهُ وَ اسْتَحَلُّوا مَحَارِمَهُ وَ قَطَعُوا رَحِمَهُ وَ أَنْكَرُوا أُخُوَّتَهُ وَ هَجَرُوا مَوَدَّتَهُ وَ نَقَضُوا طَاعَتَهُ وَ جَحَدُوا وَلَايَتَهُ

And they wounded the heart of the best of creation through the injustice done to his^-saww daughter^-asws, the oppression of his^-saww beloved, the violation of his dear one, the piece of his^-saww flesh and the part of his^-saww heart. They abandoned her^-asws husband^-asws, belittled his^-asws status, violated his^-asws sanctities, severed his^-asws kinship, denied his^-asws brotherhood, rejected his^-asws love, broke their obedience to him^-asws, and denied his^-asws Wilayah!

وَ أَطْمَعُوا الْعَبِيدَ فِي خِلَافَتِهِ وَ قَادُوهُ إِلَى بَيْعَتِهِمْ مُصْلِتَةً سُيُوفَهَا مُقْذِعَةً أَسِنَّتَهَا وَ هُوَ سَاخِطُ الْقَلْبِ هَائِجُ الْغَضَبِ شَدِيدُ الصَّبْرِ كَاظِمُ الْغَيْظِ يَدْعُونَهُ إِلَى بَيْعَتِهِمُ الَّتِي عَمَّ شُومُهَا الْإِسْلَامَ وَ زَرَعَتْ فِي قُلُوبِ أَهْلِهَا الْآثَامَ

They gave the lowly servants hope in his^-asws succession and dragged him^-asws to their pledge while brandishing their swords and raising their sharp blades, while he^-asws was grieved at heart, burning with anger, bearing immense patience, suppressing his^-asws rage. They summoned him^-asws to their allegiance, whose evil overwhelmed Islam and planted sins in the hearts of its people!

وَ عَقَّتْ سَلْمَانَهَا وَ طَرَدَتْ مِقْدَادَهَا وَ نَفَتْ جُنْدَبَهَا وَ فَتَقَتْ بَطْنَ عَمَّارِهَا وَ حَرَّفَتِ الْقُرْآنَ وَ بَدَّلَتِ الْأَحْكَامَ وَ غَيَّرَتِ الْمَقَامَ وَ أَبَاحَتِ الْخُمُسَ لِلطُّلَقَاءِ وَ سَلَّطَتْ أَوْلَادَ اللُّعَنَاءِ عَلَى الْفُرُوجِ وَ خَلَطَتِ الْحَلَالَ بِالْحَرَامِ

It disowned its Salman^-ra, expelled its Miqdad^-ra, exiled its Jundub (Abu Zarr^-ra), tore open the belly of its Ammar^-ra, distorted the Quran, altered the rulings, changed the rightful position, made the ‘Khums’  lawful for the freed captives, empowered the offspring of the accursed over the private lives of the people, and mixed the Permissible with the Prohibition!

وَ اسْتَخَفَّتْ بِالْإِيمَانِ وَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ هَدَمَتِ الْكَعْبَةَ وَ أَغَارَتْ عَلَى دَارِ الْهِجْرَةِ يَوْمَ الْحَرَّةِ وَ أَبْرَزَتْ بَنَاتِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ لِلنَّكَالِ وَ السُّورَةِ وَ أَلْبَسَتْهُنَّ ثَوْبَ الْعَارِ وَ الْفَضِيحَةِ وَ رَخَّصَتْ لِأَهْلِ الشُّبْهَةِ فِي قَتْلِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ الصَّفْوَةِ وَ إِبَادَةِ نَسْلِهِ وَ اسْتِيصَالِ شَافَتِهِ وَ سَبْيِ حَرَمِهِ وَ قَتْلِ أَنْصَارِهِ وَ كَسْرِ مِنْبَرِهِ وَ قَلْبِ مَفْخَرِهِ وَ إِخْفَاءِ دِينِهِ وَ قَطْعِ ذِكْرِهِ

It held faith and Islam in contempt, destroyed the Kabah, raided the city of migration on the Day of Harrah, exposed the daughters of the Emigrants and the Helpers to punishment and humiliation, clothed them in garments of shame and disgrace, permitted those of doubtful belief to kill the household of the elect, annihilate his^-saww Progeny^-asws, uproot his^-saww descendants, capture his^-saww women, slay his^-saww supporters, break his^-saww pulpit, overturn his^-saww glory, conceal his^-saww religion, and erase his^-saww remembrance!

يَا مَوَالِيَّ فَلَوْ عَايَنَكُمُ الْمُصْطَفَى وَ سِهَامُ الْأُمَّةِ معرقة [مُغْرَقَةٌ] فِي أَكْبَادِكُمْ وَ رِمَاحُهُمْ مُشْرَعَةٌ فِي نُحُورِكُمْ وَ سُيُوفُهَا مُولَعَةٌ فِي دِمَائِكُمْ يَشْفِي أَبْنَاءُ الْعَوَاهِرِ غَلِيلَ الْفِسْقِ مِنْ وَرَعِكُمْ وَ غَيْظَ الْكُفْرِ مِنْ إِيمَانِكُمْ

O my masters! If the Chosen One (Al-Mustafa^-saww) had witnessed you^-asws while the arrows of the nation were deeply embedded in your^-asws chests, their spears thrust into your^-asws throats, their swords obsessed with shedding your^-asws blood, the sons of the immoral would be quenching the thirst of their wickedness with your^-asws piety and satisfying the rage of disbelief with your^-asws faith.

وَ أَنْتُمْ بَيْنَ صَرِيعٍ فِي الْمِحْرَابِ قَدْ فَلَقَ السَّيْفُ هَامَتَهُ‏ وَ شَهِيدٍ فَوْقَ الْجَنَازَةِ قَدْ شُكَّتْ أَكْفَانُهُ بِالسِّهَامِ وَ قَتِيلٍ بِالْعَرَاءِ قَدْ رُفِعَ فَوْقَ الْقَنَاةِ رَأْسُهُ وَ مُكَبَّلٍ فِي السِّجْنِ قَدْ رُضَّتْ بِالْحَدِيدِ أَعْضَاؤُهُ وَ مَسْمُومٍ قَدْ قُطِّعَتْ بِجُرَعِ السَّمِّ أَمْعَاؤُهُ وَ شَمْلُكُمْ عَبَادِيدُ تُفْنِيهِمُ الْعَبِيدُ وَ أَبْنَاءُ الْعَبِيدِ

You^-asws were either struck down in the Prayer Niche, your^-asws skull split by the sword, or martyred atop the bier your^-asws shroud pierced with arrows, or slain in the open desert, your^-asws head raised upon a spear, or bound in prison, your^-asws limbs crushed with iron, or poisoned your^-asws intestines severed by the effect of poison, and your household scattered, destroyed by slaves and the sons of slaves!

فَهَلِ الْمِحَنُ يَا سَادَتِي إِلَّا الَّتِي لَزِمَتْكُمْ وَ الْمَصَائِبُ إِلَّا الَّتِي عَمَّتْكُمْ وَ الْفَجَائِعُ إِلَّا الَّتِي خَصَّتْكُمْ وَ الْقَوَارِعُ إِلَّا الَّتِي طَرَقَتْكُمْ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ عَلَى أَرْوَاحِكُمْ وَ أَجْسَادِكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ‏

So, are there any trials, O my masters^-asws , except these befell you^-asws? Any calamities except these encompassed you^-asws? Any tragedies except these were specific to you^-asws? Any afflictions except these struck you^-asws? May the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon you^-asws, upon your^-asws souls and your^-asws bodies, and may the Mercy and Blessings of Allah^-azwj!’

ثُمَّ قَبِّلْهُ وَ قُلْ بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي يَا آلَ الْمُصْطَفَى إِنَّا لَا نَمْلِكُ إِلَّا أَنْ نَطُوفَ حَوْلَ مَشَاهِدِكُمْ وَ نُعَزِّيَ فِيهَا أَرْوَاحَكُمْ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَصَائِبِ الْعَظِيمَةِ الْحَالَّةِ بِفِنَائِكُمْ وَ الرَّزَايَا الْجَلِيلَةِ النَّازِلَةِ بِسَاحَتِكُمُ الَّتِي أَثْبَتَتْ فِي قُلُوبِ شِيعَتِكُمُ الْقُرُوحَ وَ أَوْرَثَتْ أَكْبَادَهُمُ الْجُرُوحَ وَ زَرَعَتْ فِي صُدُورِهِمُ الْغُصَصَ

Then kiss it (the grave) and say, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed for) you^-asws, O Progeny^-asws of Al-Mustafa^-saww! We have no control except we perform Tawaaf around your^-asws Shrines and in these we console your^-asws souls upon these mighty calamities released at your^-asws yard, and the majestic disaster befalling in your^-asws court, which have affirmed injuries in hearts of your^-asws Shias, and their livers have inherited the wounds, and cultivated the sorrows in their chests!

فَنَحْنُ نُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ أَنَّا قَدْ شَارَكْنَا أَوْلِيَاءَكُمْ وَ أَنْصَارَكُمُ الْمُتَقَدِّمِينَ فِي إِرَاقَةِ دِمَاءِ النَّاكِثِينَ وَ الْقَاسِطِينَ وَ الْمَارِقِينَ وَ قَتَلَةِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ سَيِّدِ شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ كَرْبَلَاءَ بِالنِّيَّاتِ وَ الْقُلُوبِ وَ التَّأَسُّفِ عَلَى فَوْتِ تِلْكَ الْمَوَاقِفِ الَّتِي حَضَرُوا لِنُصْرَتِكُمْ وَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَّا السَّلَامُ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

So, we testify before Allah^-azwj that we have shared with your^-asws loyal supporters and early defenders in the shedding of the blood of the oath-breakers, the unjust, the apostates, and the killers of Abu Abdullah^-asws, chief of the youths of Paradise, on the day of Karbala, through our intentions, our hearts, and our sorrow for missing those moments when they were present to support you^-asws. Upon you^-asws be the greeting from us, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’

ثُمَّ اجْعَلِ الْقَبْرَ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ يَا ذَا الْقُدْرَةِ الَّتِي صَدَرَ عَنْهَا الْعَالَمُ مُكَوَّناً مَبْرُوءاً عَلَيْهَا مَفْطُوراً تَحْتَ ظِلِّ الْعَظَمَةِ فَنَطَقَتْ شَوَاهِدُ صُنْعِكَ فِيهِ بِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ مُكَوِّنُهُ وَ بَارِئُهُ وَ فَاطِرُهُ

Then Make the grave to be between you and the Qiblah, and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! O Possessor of the Power from which the world came forth, formed, created, and shaped upon it under the Shade of Magnificence! The signs of Your^-azwj Craftsmanship within it proclaim that You^-azwj are Allah^-azwj, there is no god except You^-azwj, its Creator, Originator.

ابْتَدَعْتَهُ لَا مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَا عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَا فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَا لِوَحْشَةٍ دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْكَ إِذْ لَا غَيْرُكَ وَ لَا حَاجَةٍ بَدَتْ لَكَ فِي تَكْوِينِهِ وَ لَا لِاسْتِعَانَةٍ مِنْكَ عَلَى مَا تَخْلُقُ بَعْدَهُ

You^-azwj Initiated it, not from anything, not upon anything, not within anything, and not due to any loneliness that affected You^-azwj, for there is none besides You^-azwj, nor was it due to any need that appeared to You^-azwj in its formation, nor for any assistance required by You^-azwj for what You^-azwj would Create afterwards!

بَلْ أَنْشَأْتَهُ لِيَكُونَ دَلِيلًا عَلَيْكَ بِأَنَّكَ بَائِنٌ مِنَ الصُّنْعِ فَلَا يُطِيقُ الْمُنْصِفُ لِعَقْلِهِ إِنْكَارَكَ وَ الْمَوْسُومُ بِصِحَّةِ الْمَعْرِفَةِ جُحُودَكَ

But, You^-azwj Brought it into being so that it may be a sign pointing to You^-azwj, Showing that You^-azwj are distinct from creation. Thus, one who is fair to his intellect can neither deny You^-azwj, nor can one mark with truth understanding reject You^-azwj!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِشَرَفِ الْإِخْلَاصِ فِي تَوْحِيدِكَ وَ حُرْمَةِ التَّعَلُّقِ بِكِتَابِكَ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى آدَمَ بَدِيعِ فِطْرَتِكَ وَ بِكْرِ حُجَّتِكَ وَ لِسَانِ قُدْرَتِكَ وَ الْخَلِيفَةِ فِي بَسِيطَتِكَ

I ask You^-azwj by the nobility of sincerity in Your^-azwj Oneness, and sanctity related with Your^-azwj Book and People^-asws of the Household of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, to Send Salawaat upon Adam^-as, beginning of Your^-azwj Origination, and Your^-azwj first Divine authority, and the tongue of Your^-azwj Power, and the caliph in Your^-azwj realm!

وَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ الْخَالِصِ مِنْ صَفْوَتِكَ وَ الْفَاحِصِ عَنْ مَعْرِفَتِكَ وَ الْغَائِصِ الْمَأْمُونِ عَلَى مَكْنُونِ سَرِيرَتِكَ بِمَا أَوْلَيْتَهُ مِنْ نِعْمَتِكَ بِمَعُونَتِكَ وَ عَلَى مَنْ بَيْنَهُمَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الْمُكَرَّمِينَ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ أَنْ تَهَبَنِي لِإِمَامِي هَذَا

And upon Muhammad^-saww, the sincere from Your^-azwj elites, and the pure one chosen from among Your^-azwj elites, the discerner of Your^-azwj Knowledge, the trusted diver into the depths of Your^-azwj hidden secrets, to whom You^-azwj Granted Blessings through Your^-azwj Grace and Assistance, and upon those between them from among the Prophets, the honoured ones, the successors, and the truthful, and that You^-azwj Grant me as a gift to this Imam^-asws of mine!’

وَ ضَعْ خَدَّكَ عَلَى سَطْحِ الْقَبْرِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ بِمَحَلِّ هَذَا السَّيِّدِ مِنْ طَاعَتِكَ وَ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ عِنْدَكَ لَا تُمِتْنِي فَجْأَةً وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنِي تَوْبَةً وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْوَرَعَ عَنْ مَحَارِمِكَ دِيناً وَ دُنْيَا وَ اشْغَلْنِي بِالْآخِرَةِ عَنْ طَلَبِ الْأُولَى وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِمَا تُحِبُّ وَ تَرْضَى وَ جَنِّبْنِي اتِّبَاعَ الْهَوَى وَ الِاغْتِرَارَ بِالْأَبَاطِيلِ وَ الْمُنَى

And place your cheek upon surface of the grave and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! By the rank of this master in obedience to You^-azwj and by his^-asws station with You^-azwj, do not Cause me to die suddenly, and do not Deprive me of repentance. Grant me piety that keeps me away from what You^-azwj have Forbidden, in both religion and worldly life. Occupy me with the Hereafter instead of seeking the worldly life. Grant me success in what You^-azwj Love and are Pleased with, and Keep me away from following desires and being deluded by false hopes and wishes!

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلِ السَّدَادَ فِي قَوْلِي وَ الصَّوَابَ فِي فِعْلِي وَ الصِّدْقَ وَ الْوَفَاءَ فِي ضَمَانِي وَ وَعْدِي وَ الْحِفْظَ وَ الْإِينَاسَ مَقْرُونَيْنِ بِعَهْدِي وَ عَقْدِي وَ الْبِرَّ وَ الْإِحْسَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِي وَ خُلُقِي وَ اجْعَلِ السَّلَامَةَ لِي شَامِلَةً وَ الْعَافِيَةَ بِي مُحِيطَةً مُلْتَفَّةً وَ لَطِيفَ صُنْعِكَ وَ عَوْنِكَ مَصْرُوفاً إِلَيَّ وَ حُسْنَ تَوْفِيقِكَ وَ يُسْرَكَ مَوْفُوراً عَلَيَّ وَ أَحْيِنِي يَا رَبِّ سَعِيداً وَ تَوَفَّنِي شَهِيداً وَ طَهِّرْنِي لِلْمَوْتِ وَ مَا بَعْدَهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Place soundness in my speech and correctness in my actions, truthfulness and loyalty in my commitments and promises, and protection and comfort joined with my covenants and bonds. Let righteousness and kindness be part of my character and conduct. Grant me comprehensive safety and surrounding wellness, enveloping me completely. Direct the subtle care of Your^-azwj Craftsmanship and support toward me, and Bestow upon me the beauty of Your^-azwj Guidance and the abundance of Your^-azwj ease. Let me live, O Lord^-azwj, a life of happiness, and Cause me to die as a martyr. Purify me for death and what follows it!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ اجْعَلِ الصِّحَّةَ وَ النُّورَ فِي سَمْعِي وَ بَصَرِي وَ الْجِدَةَ وَ الْخَيْرَ فِي طُرُقِي وَ الْهُدَى وَ الْبَصِيرَةَ فِي دِينِي وَ مَذْهَبِي وَ الْمِيزَانَ أَبَداً نَصْبَ عَيْنِي وَ الذِّكْرَ وَ الْمَوْعِظَةَ شِعَارِي وَ دِثَارِي وَ الْفِكْرَةَ وَ الْعِبْرَةَ أُنْسِي وَ عِمَادِي

O Allah^-azwj, and health and light in my hearing and sight, prosperity and goodness in my paths, guidance and insight in my religion and creed, and Make the balance ever before my eyes. Let Zikr and admonition be my inner and outer garment, and reflection and taking lessons be my comfort and support!

وَ مَكِّنِ الْيَقِينَ فِي قَلْبِي وَ اجْعَلْهُ أَوْثَقَ الْأَشْيَاءِ فِي نَفْسِي وَ أَغْلِبْهُ عَلَى رَأْيِي وَ عَزْمِي وَ اجْعَلِ الْإِرْشَادَ فِي عَمَلِي وَ التَّسْلِيمَ لِأَمْرِكَ مِهَادِي وَ سَنَدِي وَ الرِّضَا بِقَضَائِكَ وَ قَدَرِكَ أَقْصَى عَزْمِي وَ نِهَايَتِي

And establish certainty firmly in my heart, and Make it the most trusted thing in my soul. Let it prevail over my opinions and decisions. Place guidance in my actions, and Make submission to Your^-azwj Command my foundation and support, and contentment with Your^-azwj Decree and destiny, the utmost of my determination and my ultimate goal!

وَ أَبْعَدَ هَمِّي وَ غَايَتِي حَتَّى لَا أَتَّقِيَ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ بِدِينِي وَ لَا أَطْلُبَ بِهِ غَيْرَ آخِرَتِي وَ لَا أَسْتَدْعِيَ مِنْهُ إِطْرَائِي وَ مَدْحِي وَ اجْعَلْ خَيْرَ الْعَوَاقِبِ عَاقِبَتِي وَ خَيْرَ الْمَصَايِرِ مَصِيرِي وَ أَنْعَمَ الْعَيْشِ عَيْشِي وَ أَفْضَلَ الْهُدَى هُدَايَ وَ أَوْفَرَ الْحُظُوظِ حَظِّي وَ أَجْزَلَ الْأَقْسَامِ قِسْمِي وَ نَصِيبِي

And Make my deepest concern and ultimate goal so distant from worldly aims that I never fear anyone among Your^-azwj creation because of my religion, nor seek through it anything but the Hereafter, nor desire from it praise or flattery. Make the best of outcomes my final end, the best of destinies my destination, the most blessed life my life, the most excellent guidance my path, the fullest share my portion, and the greatest allotment my lot and share!

وَ كُنْ لِي يَا رَبِّ مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ وَلِيّاً وَ إِلَى كُلِّ خَيْرٍ دَلِيلًا وَ قَائِداً وَ مِنْ كُلِّ بَاغٍ وَ حَسُودٍ ظَهِيراً وَ مَانِعاً

And O Lord^-azwj, be a Guardian for me from all evil, and a Guide and Leader to all good, and a Support and Preventer from all rebels and enviers!

اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ اعْتِدَادِي وَ عِصْمَتِي وَ ثِقَتِي وَ تَوْفِيقِي وَ حَوْلِي وَ قُوَّتِي وَ لَكَ مَحْيَايَ وَ مَمَاتِي وَ فِي قَبْضَتِكَ سُكُونِي وَ حَرَكَتِي وَ إِنَّ بِعُرْوَتِكَ الْوُثْقَى اسْتِمْسَاكِي وَ وُصْلَتِي وَ عَلَيْكَ فِي الْأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا اعْتِمَادِي وَ تَوَكُّلِي وَ مِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ وَ مَسِّ سَقَرَ نَجَاتِي وَ خَلَاصِي وَ فِي دَارِ أَمْنِكَ وَ كَرَامَتِكَ مَثْوَايَ وَ مُنْقَلَبِي وَ عَلَى أَيْدِي سَادَاتِي وَ مَوَالِيَّ آلِ الْمُصْطَفَى فَوْزِي وَ فَرَجِي

O Allah^-azwj! Through You^-azwj is my reliance, my protection, my trust, my success, my strength, and my power. To You^-azwj belongs my life and my death. In Your^-azwj Grasp are my stillness and my movement. Indeed, by Your^-azwj firm Handhold is my grip and my connection. Upon You^-azwj in all matters is my dependence and trust. From the punishment of Hell and the touch of ‘Saqar’ (a valley of Hell) is my salvation and deliverance. In the abode of Your^-azwj, security and honour is my place of rest and final return. Through the hands of my masters and guardians, the family^-asws of the Chosen One (Al-Mustafa^-saww), is my triumph and relief!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ الْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ لِوالِدَيَ‏ وَ مَا وَلَدَا وَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي وَ جِيرَانِي وَ لِكُلِّ مَنْ قَلَّدَنِي يَداً مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ إِنَّكَ‏ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ‏ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ‏.

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Forgive for the believing men and the believing women, and the Muslim men and the Muslim women, and Forgive for me and for my parents and what they have begotten, and my family members, and my neighbours, and for every one who has collared me with a favour, from the believing men and the believing women, You^-azwj are Possessor of the Magnificent Grace, and the greeting be upon you^-asws, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’’[24]

ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ‏ دُعَاءٌ يُدْعَى بِهِ عَقِيبَ الزِّيَارَةَ لِسَائِرِ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي زُرْتُ هَذَا الْإِمَامَ مُقِرّاً بِإِمَامَتِهِ مُعْتَقِداً لِفَرْضِ طَاعَتِهِ فَقَصَدْتُ مَشْهَدَهُ بِذُنُوبِي وَ عُيُوبِي وَ مُوبِقَاتِ آثَامِي وَ كَثْرَةِ سَيِّئَاتِي وَ خَطَايَايَ وَ مَا تَعْرِفُهُ مِنِّي مُسْتَجِيراً بِعَفْوِكَ

Then the Seyyid, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, said, ‘A supplication to supplicate with as follow-up of the Ziyarat of rest of the Imams^-asws, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I have visited this Imam^-asws, accepting his^-asws Imamate, believing in the obligation of obeying him^-asws, so I have aimed for his^-asws Shrine with my sins, and my faults, and my destructive sins, and large number of my evil deeds and my wrongdoing, and whatever You^-azwj Know of from me!

مُسْتَعِيذاً بِحِلْمِكَ رَاجِياً رَحْمَتَكَ لَاجِياً إِلَى رُكْنِكَ عَائِذاً بِرَأْفَتِكَ مُسْتَشْفِعاً بِوَلِيِّكَ وَ ابْنِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ صَفِيِّكَ وَ ابْنِ أَصْفِيَائِكَ وَ أَمِينِكَ وَ ابْنِ أُمَنَائِكَ وَ خَلِيفَتِكَ وَ ابْنِ خُلَفَائِكَ الَّذِينَ جَعَلْتَهُمُ الْوَسِيلَةَ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ وَ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ الذَّرِيعَةَ إِلَى رَأْفَتِكَ وَ غُفْرَانِكَ

I am seeking refuge in Your^-azwj Forbearance, hoping for Your^-azwj Mercy, taking shelter in Your^-azwj Protection, seeking refuge in Your^-azwj Compassion, seeking intercession through Your^-azwj guardian and the son^-asws of Your^-azwj guardian, Your^-azwj Chosen one and the son^-asws of Your^-azwj chosen ones, Your^-azwj trustee and the son^-asws of Your^-azwj trustees, Your^-azwj caliph and the son^-azwj of Your caliphs, those whom You^-azwj have Made the means to attain Your^-azwj Mercy and pleasure, and the path to reach Your^-azwj Compassion and Forgiveness!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَوَّلُ حَاجَتِي إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي عَلَى كَثْرَتِهَا وَ تَعْصِمَنِي فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِي وَ تُطَهِّرَ دِينِي مِمَّا يُدَنِّسُهُ وَ يَشِينُهُ وَ يُزْرِي بِهِ وَ تَحْمِيَهُ مِنَ الرَّيْبِ وَ الشَّكِّ وَ الْفَسَادِ وَ الشِّرْكِ

O Allah^-azwj! The first of my needs I ask of You^-azwj is that You^-azwj Forgive my past sins, despite their abundance, that You^-azwj Protect me from sin for the remainder of my life, Purify my religion from anything that defiles or disgraces it or brings shame upon it, and protect it from doubt, uncertainty, corruption, and Polytheism.

وَ تُثَبِّتَنِي عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَ طَاعَةِ رَسُولِكَ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ النُّجَبَاءِ السُّعَدَاءِ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ وَ سَلَامُكَ وَ بَرَكَاتُكَ وَ تُحْيِيَنِي مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي عَلَى طَاعَتِهِمْ وَ تُمِيتَنِي إِذَا أَمَتَّنِي عَلَى طَاعَتِهِمْ وَ أَنْ لَا تَمْحُوَ مِنْ قَلْبِي مَوَدَّتَهُمْ وَ مَحَبَّتَهُمْ وَ بُغْضَ أَعْدَائِهِمْ وَ مُرَافَقَةَ أَوْلِيَائِهِمْ وَ بِرَّهُمْ

Strengthen me in obeying You^-azwj and obedience to Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww and his^-saww noble, Blessed Progeny^-asws, may Your^-azwj Salawaat, Mercy, and greetings and Blessings be upon them^-asws, and Let me live, for as long as You^-azwj Keep me alive, in obedience to them^-asws, and Cause me to die, when You^-azwj Cause me to die, in obedience to them^-asws. Do not Remove from my heart their^-asws love and affection, nor the hatred of their^-asws enemies, and Grant me companionship with their^-asws allies and righteousness toward them^-asws!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا رَبِّ أَنْ تَقْبَلَ ذَلِكَ مِنِّي وَ تُحَبِّبَ إِلَيَّ عِبَادَتَكَ وَ الْمُوَاظَبَةَ عَلَيْهَا وَ تُنَشِّطَنِي لَهَا وَ تُبَغِّضَ إِلَيَّ مَعَاصِيَكَ وَ مَحَارِمَكَ وَ تَدْفَعَنِي عَنْهَا وَ تُجَنِّبَنِي التَّقْصِيرَ فِي صَلَاتِي وَ الِاسْتِهَانَةَ بِهَا وَ التَّرَاخِيَ عَنْهَا

And I ask You^-azwj, O my Lord^-azwj, to accept this from me, to make Your^-azwj worship beloved to me and to Grant me perseverance in it, to Energise and Encourage me toward it, to Make disobedience to You^-azwj and violations of Your^-azwj sanctities detestable to me and to Turn me away from them, and keep me away from negligence in my Salat, from taking these lightly, and from laziness in performing them!

وَ تُوَفِّقَنِي لِتَأْدِيَتِهَا كَمَا فَرَضْتَ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِهِ عَلَى سُنَّةِ رَسُولِكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ وَ بَرَكَاتُكَ خُضُوعاً وَ خُشُوعاً وَ تَشْرَحَ صَدْرِي لإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَ إِعْطَاءِ الصَّدَقَاتِ وَ بَذْلِ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَى شِيعَةِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ مُوَاسَاتِهِمْ وَ لَا تَتَوَفَّانِي إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَنْ تَرْزُقَنِي حَجَّ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ وَ زِيَارَةَ قَبْرِ نَبِيِّكَ ع وَ قُبُورِ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع

Grant me success to perform them as You^-azwj have Prescribed and Commanded, according to the way of Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Your^-azwj Mercy and Your^-azwj Blessings, humbly, fearfully, and Expand my chest for giving the Zakat and donate the charities, and exert the acts of kindness and the favours to Shias of Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and supporting them^-asws, and do not Cause me to die except after having Graced me Hajj of Your^-azwj Sacred House and Ziyarat of the grave of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww and graves of the Imams^-asws!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا رَبِّ تَوْبَةً نَصُوحاً تَرْضَاهَا وَ نِيَّةً تَحْمَدُهَا وَ عَمَلًا صَالِحاً تَقْبَلُهُ وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَ تَرْحَمَنِي إِذَا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي وَ تُهَوِّنَ عَلَيَّ سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ وَ تَحْشُرَنِي فِي زُمْرَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ

And I ask You^-azwj O Lord^-azwj, (to Grant me) sincere repentance, and intention You^-azwj Commend, righteous deeds that You^-azwj Accept, and that You^-azwj Forgive me and have Mercy on me when You^-azwj Take my soul. Make the pangs of death easy upon me and Resurrect me among the company of Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-saww and them^-asws!

وَ تُدْخِلَنِي الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ تَجْعَلَ دَمْعِي غَزِيراً فِي طَاعَتِكَ وَ عَبْرَتِي جَارِيَةً فِيمَا يُقَرِّبُنِي مِنْكَ وَ قَلْبِي عَطُوفاً عَلَى أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ تَصُونَنِي فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْعَاهَاتِ وَ الْآفَاتِ وَ الْأَمْرَاضِ الشَّدِيدَةِ وَ الْأَسْقَامِ الْمُزْمِنَةِ وَ جَمِيعِ أَنْوَاعِ الْبَلَاءِ وَ الْحَوَادِثِ

And Admit me to the Paradise by Your^-azwj Mercy, and Make my tears abundant in obedience to You^-azwj, and my weeping flow in what draws me closer to You^-azwj, and my heart compassionate upon Your^-azwj guardians, and Protect me in this world from the afflictions, and the calamities, and the severe illnesses and the chronic sickness, and entirety of the types of afflictions and the misfortune!

وَ تَصْرِفَ قَلْبِي عَنِ الْحَرَامِ وَ تُبَغِّضَ إِلَيَّ مَعَاصِيَكَ وَ تُحَبِّبَ إِلَيَّ الْحَلَالَ وَ تَفْتَحَ إِلَيَّ أَبْوَابَهُ وَ تُثَبِّتَ نِيَّتِي وَ فِعْلِي عَلَيْهِ وَ تَمُدَّ فِي عُمُرِي وَ تُغْلِقَ أَبْوَابَ الْمِحَنِ عَنِّي وَ لَا تَسْلُبْنِي مَا مَنَنْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ لَا تَسْتَرِدَّ شَيْئاً مِمَّا أَحْسَنْتَ بِهِ إِلَيَّ

And Turn my heart away from the unlawful, and Make disobedience to You^-azwj hateful to me, and Make lawful things beloved to me, and Open their doors for me, and Keep my intention and actions firm upon them, and Prolong my life, and Close the doors of trials from me, and do not Take away what You^-azwj have Granted me, and do not Reclaim any of the goodness You^-azwj have Bestowed to me!

وَ لَا تَنْزِعَ مِنِّي النِّعَمَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ بِهَا عَلَيَّ وَ تَزِيدَ فِيمَا خَوَّلْتَنِي وَ تُضَاعِفَهُ أَضْعَافاً مُضَاعَفَةً وَ تَرْزُقَنِي مَالًا كَثِيراً وَاسِعاً سَائِغاً هَنِيئاً نَامِياً وَافِياً وَ عِزّاً بَاقِياً كَافِياً وَ جَاهاً عَرِيضاً مَنِيعاً وَ نِعْمَةً سَابِغَةً عَامَّةً

And do not Remove from me the bounties You^-azwj have Bestowed upon me, but rather Increase what You^-azwj have Granted me and Multiply it many times over, and Provide me with abundant, wide, lawful, pleasant, growing, and sufficient wealth, and enduring, sufficient honour, and vast, secure prestige, and complete and all-encompassing bounty!

وَ تُغْنِيَنِي بِذَلِكَ عَنِ الْمَطَالِبِ الْمُنَكَّدَةِ وَ الْمَوَارِدِ الصَّعْبَةِ وَ تُخَلِّصَنِي مِنْهَا مُعَافًى فِي دِينِي وَ نَفْسِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي وَ مَنَحْتَنِي وَ تَحْفَظَ عَلَيَّ مَالِي وَ جَمِيعَ مَا خَوَّلْتَنِي وَ تَقْبِضَ عَنِّي أَيْدِيَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ وَ تَرُدَّنِي إِلَى وَطَنِي وَ تُبَلِّغَنِي نِهَايَةَ أَمَلِي فِي دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي

And by that, You^-azwj Suffice me from burdensome demands and difficult means of sustenance, and You^-azwj Deliver me from them safely in my religion, my soul, my children, what You^-azwj have Given and Granted me, and You^-azwj Preserve my wealth and all that You^-azwj have Entrusted to me, and You^-azwj Restrain from me the hands of tyrants, Return me to my homeland, and Allow me to reach the fulfilment of my hopes in this world and the Hereafter!

وَ تَجْعَلَ عَاقِبَةَ أَمْرِي مَحْمُودَةً حَسَنَةً سَلِيمَةً وَ تَجْعَلَنِي رَحِيبَ الصَّدْرِ وَاسِعَ الْحَالِ حَسَنَ الْخُلُقِ بَعِيداً مِنَ الْبُخْلِ وَ الْمَنْعِ وَ النِّفَاقِ وَ الْكَذِبِ وَ الْبَهْتِ وَ قَوْلِ الزُّورِ وَ تُرْسِخَ فِي قَلْبِي مَحَبَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ شِيعَتِهِمْ‏ وَ تَحْرُسَنِي يَا رَبِّ فِي نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ أَهْلِ حُزَانَتِي وَ إِخْوَانِي وَ أَهْلِ مَوَدَّتِي وَ ذُرِّيَّتِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ جُودِكَ

And Make outcome of my matters be praise-worthy, excellent, safe, and Make me broad-hearted, with ample provision, good in character, far from miserliness, withholding, hypocrisy, lying, slander, and false testimony, and firmly establish in my heart the love of Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and their^-asws Shias, and O Lord^-azwj, Guard me, and my family, and my wealth, and my children, and people grieving for me, and my brethren, and people of my cordiality, and my offspring by Your^-azwj Mercy and Your^-azwj Generosity!

اللَّهُمَّ هَذِهِ حَاجَاتِي عِنْدَكَ وَ قَدِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُهَا لِلُؤْمِي وَ شُحِّي وَ هِيَ عِنْدَكَ صَغِيرَةٌ حَقِيرَةٌ وَ عَلَيْكَ سَهْلَةٌ يَسِيرَةٌ

O Allah^-azwj! This is my need with You^-azwj, and though I have made them many due to my baseness and greed, they are small and insignificant before You^-azwj and easy and simple for You^-azwj!

فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِجَاهِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ عِنْدَكَ وَ بِحَقِّهِمْ عَلَيْكَ وَ بِمَا أَوْجَبْتَ لَهُمْ وَ بِسَائِرِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ أَصْفِيَائِكَ وَ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الْمُخْلَصِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ وَ بِاسْمِكَ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَعْظَمِ لَمَّا قَضَيْتَهَا كُلَّهَا وَ أَسْعَفْتَنِي بِهَا وَ لَمْ تُخَيِّبْ أَمَلِي وَ رَجَائِي وَ شَفِّعْ صَاحِبَ هَذَا الْقَبْرِ فِيَّ

So I ask You by the rank of Muhammad^-saww and the Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, greeting be upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws, in Your^-azwj Presence, and by their right upon You^-azwj, and by what You^-azwj have Obligated for them, and by all of Your^-azwj Prophets^-as and Messengers^-as and Your^-azwj Chosen and sincere servants, and by Your^-azwj greatest, most supreme Name, that You^-azwj Fulfil all of them for me, Assist me with them, Do not disappoint my hope and expectation, and Grant intercession on my behalf through the one buried in this grave!

يَا سَيِّدِي يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ يَا أَمِينَ اللَّهِ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَشْفَعَ لِي إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي هَذِهِ الْحَاجَاتِ كُلِّهَا بِحَقِّ آبَائِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ بِحَقِّ أَوْلَادِكَ الْمُنْتَجَبِينَ فَإِنَّ لَكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَقَدَّسَتْ أَسْمَاؤُهُ الْمَنْزِلَةَ الشَّرِيفَةَ وَ الْمَرْتَبَةَ الْجَلِيلَةَ وَ الْجَاهَ الْعَرِيضَ

O my chief, O guardian of Allah^-azwj, O trustee of Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj to Intercede for me to Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic regarding these needs, all of them, by the right of your^-asws forefathers^-asws, the pure, and by the right of your^-asws children, the selected, because in the Presence of Allah^-azwj, Holy are His^-azwj Names, is the noble status for you^-asws, and the majestic rank, and the wide honour!

اللَّهُمَّ لَوْ عَرَفْتُ مَنْ هُوَ أَوْجَهُ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ هَذَا الْإِمَامِ وَ مِنْ آبَائِهِ وَ أَبْنَائِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ وَ الصَّلَاةُ لَجَعَلْتُهُمْ شُفَعَائِي وَ قَدَّمْتُهُمْ أَمَامَ حَاجَتِي وَ طَلِبَاتِي هَذِهِ فَاسْمَعْ مِنِّي وَ اسْتَجِبْ لِي وَ افْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! If I knew of anyone more worthy in Your^-azwj Presence than this Imam^-asws and his^-asws pure forefathers^-asws and descendants^-asws, greeting and Salawaat be upon them^-asws, I would have made them^-asws my intercessors and placed them^-asws before my needs and requests! So hear me, respond to me, and do with me what You^-azwj are worthy of, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ مَا قَصُرَتْ عَنْهُ مَسْأَلَتِي وَ لَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ فِطْنَتِي مِنْ صَالِحِ دِينِي وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي فَامْنُنْ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ احْفَظْنِي وَ احْرُسْنِي وَ هَبْ لِي وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي بِسُوءٍ أَوْ مَكْرُوهٍ مِنْ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيدٍ أَوْ سُلْطَانٍ عَنِيدٍ أَوْ مُخَالِفٍ فِي دَيْنٍ أَوْ مُنَازِعٍ فِي دُنْيَا أَوْ حَاسِدٍ عَلِيَّ نِعْمَةً أَوْ ظَالِمٍ أَوْ بَاغٍ فَاقْبِضْ عَنِّي يَدَهُ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي كَيْدَهُ وَ اشْغَلْهُ بِنَفْسِهِ وَ اكْفِنِي شَرَّهُ وَ شَرَّ أَتْبَاعِهِ وَ شَيَاطِينِهِ وَ أَجِرْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ مَا يَضُرُّنِي وَ يُجْحِفُ بِي وَ أَعْطِنِي جَمِيعَ الْخَيْرِ كُلَّهُ مِمَّا أَعْلَمُ وَ مِمَّا لَا أَعْلَمُ

O Allah^-azwj! Whatever my request has fallen short of and my understanding has not reached from what is good for my religion, my worldly life, and my Hereafter, then Bestow it upon me, Protect me, Guard me, Grant it to me, and Forgive me, and whoever intends evil or harm toward me, whether it be from a rebellious devil, a stubborn tyrant, an opponent in religion, a rival in the world, an envious person over a bounty, an oppressor, or an aggressor, then Restrain his hand from me, Turn away his plotting from me, Occupy him with himself, Suffice me from his evil and the evil of his followers and his devils, and Protect me from all that harms me and overwhelms me, and Grant me all forms of good, both what I know and what I do not know!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ لِوالِدَيَ‏ وَ لِإِخْوَانِي وَ أَخَوَاتِي وَ أَعْمَامِي وَ عَمَّاتِي وَ أَخْوَالِي وَ خَالاتِي وَ أَجْدَادِي وَ جَدَّاتِي وَ أَوْلَادِهِمْ وَ ذَرَارِيِّهِمْ وَ أَزْوَاجِي وَ ذُرِّيَّاتِي وَ أَقْرِبَائِي وَ أَصْدِقَائِي وَ جِيرَانِي وَ إِخْوَانِي فِيكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّرْقِ وَ الْغَرْبِ وَ لِجَمِيعِ أَهْلِ مَوَدَّتِي مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْأَحْيَاءِ مِنْهُمْ‏ وَ الْأَمْوَاتِ وَ لِجَمِيعِ مَنْ عَلَّمَنِي خَيْراً أَوْ تَعَلَّمَ مِنِّي عِلْماً

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Forgive for me and for my parents, and for my brothers and my sisters, and my uncles and my aunts, and my paternal aunts and my paternal aunts, and my grandfathers and my grandmothers and their children and my offspring, and my wives and my offsprings, and my relatives and my friends, and my neighbours, and my brethren for Your^-azwj Sake, from people of the east and the west, and entire people of my cordiality from the believing men and the believing women, the living from them and the deceased, and for entirety of the ones who taught me good, or learned knowledge from me!

اللَّهُمَّ أَشْرِكْهُمْ فِي صَالِحِ دُعَائِي وَ زِيَارَتِي لِمَشْهَدِ حُجَّتِكَ وَ وَلِيِّكَ وَ أَشْرِكْنِي فِي صَالِحِ أَدْعِيَتِهِمْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ بَلِّغْ وَلِيَّكَ مِنْهُمُ السَّلَامَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Include them in the goodness of my supplication and my visitation to the shrine of Your^-azwj Divine authority and Your^-azwj guardian, and include me in the goodness of their supplications by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and convey to Your^-azwj guardians their^-azwj greetings. The greeting be upon you^-asws, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and Blessings!

يَا سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ يَا فُلَانَ بْنَ فُلَانٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى رُوحِكَ وَ بَدَنِكَ أَنْتَ وَسِيلَتِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ ذَرِيعَتِي إِلَيْهِ وَ لِي حَقُّ مُوَالاتِي وَ تَأْمِيلِي فَكُنْ شَفِيعِي إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي الْوُقُوفِ عَلَى قِصَّتِي هَذِهِ وَ صَرْفِي عَنْ مَوْقِفِي هَذَا بِالنُّجْحِ وَ بِمَا سَأَلْتُهُ كُلَّهُ بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَ قُدْرَتِهِ

O my chief and my master! O so and so, son of so and so! May the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon you^-asws, and upon y our^-asws soul and your^-asws body! You^-asws are my means to Allah^-azwj, and my intermediary to Him^-azwj, and for me there is a right of devotion and hope in you^-asws, so be my intercessor with Allah^-azwj, the Mighty and Majestic, concerning this request of mine and that I may depart from this position with success and with the fulfilment of all that I have asked, by His^-azwj Mercy and His^-azwj Power!

اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي عَقْلًا كَامِلًا وَ لُبّاً رَاجِحاً وَ عِزّاً بَاقِياً وَ قَلْباً زَكِيّاً وَ عَمَلًا كَثِيراً وَ أَدَباً بَارِعاً وَ اجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ لِي وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ عَلَيَّ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Grant me a complete intellect, a sound mind, enduring honour, a pure heart, abundant deeds, and excellent manners, and Make all of that for me and not against me, by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’

و يستحب أن يدعى بهذا الدعاء أيضا عقيب الزيارة لهم ع اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَتْ ذُنُوبِي قَدْ أَخْلَقَتْ وَجْهِي عِنْدَكَ وَ حَجَبَتْ دُعَائِي عَنْكَ وَ حَالَتْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُقْبِلَ عَلَيَّ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ تَنْشُرَ عَلَيَّ رَحْمَتَكَ وَ تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيَّ بَرَكَاتِكَ

And it is recommended that one should supplicate with this supplication as well as follow-up of the Ziyarat to them^-asws, ‘O Allah^-azwj! If my sins have disfigured my face in Your^-azwj Presence, and veiled my supplication from You^-azwj, and are a barrier between me and You^-azwj, I ask You^-azwj to Turn to me with Your^-azwj Benevolent Face, and Sprinkle upon me with Your^-azwj Mercy, and Send down Your^-azwj Blessings upon me!

وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ قَدْ مَنَعَتْ أَنْ تَرْفَعَ لِي إِلَيْكَ صَوْتاً أَوْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذَنْباً أَوْ تَتَجَاوَزَ عَنْ خَطِيئَةٍ مُهْلِكَةٍ فَهَا أَنَا ذَا مُسْتَجِيرٌ بِكَرَمِ وَجْهِكَ وَ عِزِّ جَلَالِكَ

And if my voice has been prevented from reaching You^-azwj, or my sin from being Forgiven, or my destructive transgression from being overlooked, then here I am, seeking refuge in the generosity of Your^-azwj Face and the Might of Your^-azwj Majesty!

مُتَوَسِّلٌ إِلَيْكَ مُتَقَرِّبٌ إِلَيْكَ بِأَحَبِّ خَلْقِكَ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَكْرَمِهِمْ عَلَيْكَ وَ أَوْلَاهُمْ بِكَ وَ أَطْوَعِهِمْ لَكَ وَ أَعْظَمِهِمْ مَنْزِلَةً وَ مَكَاناً عِنْدَكَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ بِعِتْرَتِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَاةِ الْمَهْدِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ فَرَضْتَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ طَاعَتَهُمْ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِمَوَدَّتِهِمْ وَ جَعَلْتَهُمْ وُلَاةَ الْأَمْرِ مِنْ بَعْدِ رَسُولِكَ ص

I turn to You^-azwj and draw near to You^-azwj through the most beloved of Your^-azwj creation to You^-azwj, the most honoured before You^-azwj, the closest to You^-azwj, the most obedient to You^-azwj, and the one with the highest rank and status with You^-azwj, Muhammad^-saww and through his^-saww pure family, the guiding and rightly guided Imams^-asws, whom You^-azwj have Made obedience to obligatory upon Your^-azwj creation, Commanded love for them^-azwj, and Appointed them as the guardians of authority after Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww!

يَا مُذِلَّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ وَ يَا مُعِزَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بَلَغَ مَجْهُودِي فَهَبْ لِي نَفْسِيَ السَّاعَةَ وَ رَحْمَةً مِنْكَ تَمُنُّ بِهَا عَلَيَّ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

O the One^-azwj who Humbles every stubborn tyrant and Honours the believers! My efforts have reached their limit, so Grant me myself this very hour and Bestow upon me a Mercy from You^-azwj, through which You^-azwj, Confer with it upon me, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’

ثُمَّ قَبِّلِ الضَّرِيحَ وَ مَرِّغْ خَدَّيْكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هَذَا مَشْهَدٌ لَا يَرْجُو مَنْ فَاتَتْهُ فِيهِ رَحْمَتُكَ أَنْ يَنَالَهَا فِي غَيْرِهِ وَ لَا أَحَدٌ أَشْقَى مِنِ امْرِئٍ قَصَدَهُ مُؤَمِّلًا فَآبَ عَنْهُ خَائِباً

Then kiss the Shrine and rub your cheek upon it and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! This is a place where one who misses out on Your^-azwj Mercy within it cannot hope to attain it elsewhere, and no one is more wretched than a person who approaches it with hope yet returns from it disappointed!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْإِيَابِ‏ وَ خَيْبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَ الْمُنَاقَشَةِ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ وَ حَاشَاكَ يَا رَبِّ أَنْ تَقْرِنَ طَاعَةَ وَلِيِّكَ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ مُوَالاتَهُ بِمُوَالاتِكَ وَ مَعْصِيَتَهُ بِمَعْصِيَتِكَ ثُمَّ تُؤْيِسَ زَائِرَهُ وَ الْمُتَحَمِّلَ مِنْ بُعْدِ الْبِلَادِ إِلَى قَبْرِهِ وَ عِزَّتِكَ لَا يَنْعَقِدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ضَمِيرِي إِذْ كَانَتِ الْقُلُوبُ إِلَيْكَ بِالْجَمِيلِ تُشِيرُ

O Allah^-azwj! I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from an evil return, from disappointment upon going back, and from being subjected to strict scrutiny at the time of reckoning. Far be it from You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, to associate obedience to Your^-azwj friend with obedience to You^-azwj, and loyalty to him^-asws with loyalty to You^-azwj, and disobedience to him^-asws with disobedience to You^-azwj, to leave his^-asws visitor and the one who endures the hardship of traveling from distant lands to his^-asws grave in despair. By Your^-azwj Might! Such a thought never crosses my heart, for hearts point toward You^-azwj with beautiful indication!’

ثُمَّ صَلِّ صَلَاةَ الزِّيَارَةِ فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ الْوَدَاعَ وَ الِانْصِرَافَ فَقُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَهْلَ بَيْتِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ مَعْدِنَ الرِّسَالَةِ سَلَامَ مُوَدِّعٍ لَا سَئِمٍ وَ لَا قَالٍ وَ رَحْمَتُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكاتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ إِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ.

Then pray Salat of the Ziyarat. When you intend to bid the farewell and to leave, say, ‘The greeting be upon you^-asws, O People^-asws of the Household of Prophet-hood, and mines of the Message, a farewell greeting, neither out of boredom nor weariness, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings be upon you^-asws, People^-asws of the Household, He^-azwj is Praised, Glorified!’’[25]

وَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ فِي كِتَابِ الْمَزَارِ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ عَقِيبَ الزِّيَارَةِ لَهُمْ ع وَ هُوَ

And the Sheykh Al-Mufeed, may Allah^-azwj Sanctify his soul, said in ‘Kitab Al-Mazaar’, ‘It is recommended to supplicate with this supplication as follow-up of the Ziyarat to them^-asws, and it is: –

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَتْ ذُنُوبِي قَدْ أَخْلَقَتْ وَجْهِي عِنْدَكَ وَ سَاقَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ إِلَيْكَ بِالْجَمِيلِ تُشِيرُ

‘O Allah^-azwj! If my sins have disfigured my face before You^-azwj’ – and he continued up to his words, ‘To You^-azwj with the beautiful indication’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ ثُمَّ قُلْ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذُنُوباً لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا رِضَاكَ فَبِحَقِّ مَنِ ائْتَمَنَكَ عَلَى سِرِّهِ وَ اسْتَرْعَاكَ أَمْرَ خَلْقِهِ وَ قَرَنَ طَاعَتَكَ بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ مُوَالاتَكَ بِمُوَالاتِهِ

Then he said, ‘Then say, ‘O guardian of Allah^-azwj! Between me and Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic, there are sins that no one can remove except Your^-azwj Pleasure. So, by the right of the One Who Entrusted you^-asws with His^-azwj Secret, Made you^-asws a guardian over His^-azwj creatures, linked obedience to you^-asws with obedience to Him^-azwj, and loyalty to you with loyalty to Him^-azwj!

تَوَلَّ صَلَاحَ حَالِي مَعَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اجْعَلْ حَظِّي مِنْ زِيَارَتِكَ تَخْلِيطِي بِخَالِصِي زُوَّارِكَ الَّذِينَ تَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي عِتْقِ رِقَابِهِمْ وَ تَرْغَبُ إِلَيْهِ فِي حُسْنِ ثَوَابِهِمْ

Take charge of setting right my condition with Allah^-azwj the Mighty and Majestic, and make my share of your^-asws Ziyarat to be inclusion among your sincere visitors, those for whom you ask Allah^-azwj the Mighty and Majestic to free their necks and for whom you seek from Him^-azwj the best of Rewards!

وَ هَا أَنَا الْيَوْمَ بِقَبْرِكَ لَائِذٌ وَ بِحُسْنِ دِفَاعِكَ عَنِّي عَائِذٌ فَتَلَافَنِي يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ أَدْرِكْنِي وَ اسْأَلِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي أَمْرِي فَإِنَّ لَكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَقَاماً كَرِيماً وَ جَاهاً عَظِيماً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً.

And here I am today by your^-asws grave, seeking refuge and protection through your^-asws noble defence of me. So, take me under your care, O my master, come to my aid, and ask Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic, regarding my matter, for you^-asws have with Allah an honoured position and a great status! May the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon you^-asws, and abundant greetings!’’[26]

ثم قال رحمه الله في الكتاب المذكور دعاء آخر يدعى به عقيب الزيارة لسائر الأئمة ع و هو اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي زُرْتُ هَذَا الْإِمَامَ مُقِرّاً بِإِمَامَتِهِ وَ سَاقَ الدُّعَاءَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ عَلَيَّ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

Then he, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, said in the mentioned book, ‘There is another supplication to be supplicated with as follow-up of the Ziyarat for rest of the Imams^-asws, and it is – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I have visited this Imam^-asws accepting his^-asws Imamate’ – and continued the supplication up to his words, ‘Do not Make it upon me, by Your^-azwj Mercy O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[27]

أقول و رأيت أيضا في بعض مؤلفات أصحابنا دعاء آخر يستحب أن يدعى به‏ عقيب زيارة أمير المؤمنين أو أحد الأئمة ع و هو اللهم بمحل هذا السيد من طاعتك و ساق إلى قوله إنك ذو فضل عظيم و السلام عليك و رحمة الله و بركاته.

I say, ‘And I saw as well in one of the compilations of our companions, another supplication recommended to supplicate with as follow-up of Ziyarat of Amir Al-Momineen^-asws, or one of the Imams^-asws, and it is, ‘O Allah^-azwj! By the position of this chief in obedience to You^-azwj’ – and continued up to his words, ‘You^-azwj are Possessor of the Magnificent Grace, and the greeting be upon you^-asws and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’’[28]

الزِّيَارَةُ السَّادِسَةُ رَوَاهَا السَّيِّدُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَيْضاً فِي مِصْبَاحِ الزَّائِرِ وَ قَدْ مَرَّتْ بِأَسَانِيدَ قَالَ يُرْوَى عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَا قَالَهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا عِنْدَ قَبْرِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَوْ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع إِلَّا وَقَعَ فِي دَرَجِ نُورٍ وَ طُبِعَ عَلَيْهِ بِطَابَعِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص‏ حَتَّى يُسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْقَائِمِ ع فَيَلْقَى صَاحِبَهُ بِالْبُشْرَى وَ التَّحِيَّةِ وَ الْكَرَامَةِ وَ هَذِهِ الزِّيَارَةُ

The sixth Ziyarat reported as well by the Seyyid, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, in ‘Misbah Al-Zaair’, and it has passed by (various) chains. He said, ‘It is reported from Al Baqir^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-asws, he^-asws said: ‘No one from our^-asws Shias will say it at the grave of Amir Al-Momineen^-asws, or anyone from the Imams^-asws, except that it is recorded in a scroll of light and sealed with the seal of Muhammad^-azwj, until it is handed over to the Qaim^-ajfj, who will then meet its reciter with glad tidings, greetings, and honour, and this is that Ziyarat –

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِينَ اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ وَ حُجَّتَهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ جَاهَدْتَ فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ وَ عَمِلْتَ بِكِتَابِهِ وَ اتَّبَعْتَ سُنَنَ نَبِيِّهِ ص حَتَّى دَعَاكَ اللَّهُ إِلَى جِوَارِهِ وَ قَبَضَكَ إِلَيْهِ بِاخْتِيَارِهِ وَ أَلْزَمَ أَعْدَاءَكَ الْحُجَّةَ مَعَ مَا لَكَ مِنَ الْحُجَجِ الْبَالِغَةِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ خَلْقِهِ

‘The greeting be upon you^-asws O trustee of Allah^-azwj in His^-azwj earth and His^-azwj Divine authority upon His^-azwj servants! The greeting be upon you^-asws O my master! I testify you^-asws have fought for the Sake of Allah^-azwj as is the right of fighting it, and worked with His^-azwj Book, and followed Sunnah of His^-azwj Prophet^-saww until Allah^-azwj Called you^-asws to His^-azwj Shelter and Captured you^-asws to Him^-azwj with His^-azwj Choice, and Necessitated your^-asws enemies the argument, along with what is for you^-asws of the conclusive arguments upon entirety of His^-azwj creatures!

اللَّهُمَّ فَاجْعَلْ نَفْسِي مُطْمَئِنَّةً بِقَدَرِكَ رَاضِيَةً بِقَضَائِكَ مُولَعَةً بِذِكْرِكَ وَ دُعَائِكَ مُحِبَّةً لِصَفْوَةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ مَحْبُوبَةً فِي أَرْضِكَ وَ سَمَائِكَ صَابِرَةً عَلَى نُزُولِ بَلَائِكَ مُشْتَاقَةً إِلَى فَرْحَةِ لِقَائِكَ مُتَزَوِّدَةً التَّقْوَى لِيَوْمِ جَزَائِكَ مُسْتَنَّةً بِسُنَنِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ مُفَارِقَةً لِأَخْلَاقِ أَعْدَائِكَ مَشْغُولَةً عَنِ الدُّنْيَا بِحَمْدِكَ وَ ثَنَائِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj, Make my soul content with Your^-azwj Decree, Pleased with Your^-azwj Judgment, devoted to Your^-azwj Zikr and supplication, loving toward the chosen ones among Your^-azwj guardians, beloved in Your^-azwj earth and Your^-azwj sky, patient at the descent of Your^-azwj trials, longing for the joy of meeting You^-azwj, provisioned with piety for the Day of Your^-azwj Recompense, following the path of Your^-azwj friends, distant from the morals of Your^-azwj enemies, and preoccupied from the world with Your^-azwj Praise and Laudation!’

ثُمَّ يَضَعُ خَدَّهُ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ قُلُوبَ الْمُخْبِتِينَ إِلَيْكَ وَالِهَةٌ وَ سُبُلَ الرَّاغِبِينَ إِلَيْكَ شَارِعَةٌ وَ أَعْلَامَ الْقَاصِدِينَ إِلَيْكَ وَاضِحَةٌ وَ أَفْئِدَةَ الْعَارِفِينَ مِنْكَ فَازِعَةٌ وَ أَصْوَاتَ الدَّاعِينَ إِلَيْكَ صَاعِدَةٌ وَ أَبْوَابَ الْإِجَابَةِ لَهُمْ مُفَتَّحَةٌ وَ دَعْوَةَ مَنْ نَاجَاكَ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ وَ تَوْبَةَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَيْكَ مَقْبُولَةٌ وَ عَبْرَةَ مَنْ بَكَى مِنْ خَوْفِكَ مَرْحُومَةٌ

Then he should place his cheek upon the grave and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Surely the hearts of the humble turn passionately toward You^-azwj, the paths of those seeking You^-azwj are open, the signs for those heading toward You^-azwj are clear, the hearts of the knowers are in awe of You^-azwj, the voices of those calling upon You^-azwj are raised, the gates of response are open to them, the supplication of the one who whispers to You^-azwj is Answered, the repentance of the one who turns back to You^-azwj is Accepted, the tears of the one who weeps from fear of You^-azwj are Shown Mercy!

وَ الْإِعَانَةَ لِمَنِ اسْتَعَانَ بِكَ مَوْجُودَةٌ وَ الْإِغَاثَةَ لِمَنِ اسْتَغَاثَ بِكَ مَبْذُولَةٌ وَ عِدَاتِكَ لِعِبَادِكَ مُنْجَزَةٌ وَ زَلَلَ مَنِ اسْتَقَالَكَ مُقَالَةٌ وَ أَعْمَالَ الْعَامِلِينَ لَدَيْكَ مَحْفُوظَةٌ

Aid is available to the one who seeks help from You^-azwj, Relief is Given to the one who pleads to You^-azwj, Your^-azwj Promises to Your^-azwj servants are fulfilled, the slip of the one who asks for Your^-azwj Pardon is Forgiven, the deeds of the workers are preserved with You^-azwj!

وَ أَرْزَاقَكَ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ إِلَى الْخَلَائِقِ نَازِلَةٌ وَ عَوَائِدَ الْمَزِيدِ إِلَيْهِمْ وَاصِلَةٌ وَ ذُنُوبَ الْمُسْتَغْفِرِينَ مَغْفُورَةٌ وَ حَوَائِجَ خَلْقِكَ عِنْدَكَ مَقْضِيَّةٌ وَ جَوَائِزَ السَّائِلِينَ عِنْدَكَ مُوَفَّرَةٌ وَ عَوَائِدَ الْمَزِيدِ مُتَوَاتِرَةٌ وَ مَوَائِدَ الْمُسْتَطْعِمِينَ مُعَدَّةٌ وَ مَنَاهِلَ الظِّمَاءِ مُتْرَعَةٌ

Your^-azwj provisions are Sent down to the creation from You^-azwj, the gifts of Your^-azwj bounty continuously reach them, the sins of those seeking Forgiveness are Forgiven, the needs of Your^-azwj creation are fulfilled by You^-azwj, the Rewards for those who ask are abundant with You^-azwj, the returns of Your^-azwj extra Generosity are continual, the tables for those who seek nourishment are prepared, and the fountains for the thirsty are full!

اللَّهُمَّ فَاسْتَجِبْ دُعَائِي وَ اقْبَلْ ثَنَائِي وَ اجْمَعْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ أَوْلِيَائِي بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ إِنَّكَ وَلِيُّ نَعْمَائِي وَ مُنْتَهَا مُنَايَ وَ غَايَةُ رَجَائِي فِي مُنْقَلَبِي وَ مَثْوَايَ‏.

O Allah^-azwj! Answer my supplication and Accept my laudation, and Gather between me and my guardians by the right of Muhammad^-saww, and Ali^-asws, and Fatima^-asws, and Al Hassan^-asws, and Al-Husayn^-asws, You^-azwj are Guardian of my bounties, and Ultimate of my wishes, and peak of my hopes regarding my transfer and my abode!’’[29]

الزِّيَارَةُ السَّابِعَةُ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ ره هِيَ مَرْوِيَّةٌ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الثَّالِثِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ‏ تَسْتَأْذِنُ بِمَا قَدَّمْنَاهُ فِي زِيَارَةِ صَاحِبِ الْأَمْرِ ع ثُمَّ تَدْخُلُ مُقَدِّماً رِجْلَكَ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى وَ تَقُولُ

The seventh Ziyarat – The Seyyid said it is reported from Abu Al-Hassan^-asws the 3^rd, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-asws. You should seek permission with what we have forwarded in Ziyarat of Master of the Command (12^th Imam^-ajfj). Then enter the front of your right leg before the left (foot) and say,

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً

‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj, and by Allah^-azwj, and upon the religion of Rasool-Allah^-saww! I testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him^-azwj, and I testify that Muhammad^-saww is His^-azwj servant and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and abundant greetings!’

ثُمَّ تَسْتَقْبِلُ الضَّرِيحَ بِوَجْهِكَ وَ تَجْعَلُ الْقِبْلَةَ خَلْفَكَ وَ تُكَبِّرُ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ تَكْبِيرَةٍ وَ تَقُولُ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏

Then face the Shrine with your face and Make the Qiblah behind you and exclaim the Greatness of Allah^-azwj, a hundred Takbeers and say, ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful!

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ كَمَا شَهِدَ اللَّهُ لِنَفْسِهِ وَ شَهِدَتْ لَهُ مَلَائِكَتُهُ وَ أُولُو الْعِلْمِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ‏ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ‏

I testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him^-azwj just as Allah^-azwj has Testified for Himself^-azwj and His^-azwj Angels have testified for Him^-azwj, and the possessors of knowledge from His^-azwj creatures! There is no god except He^-azwj the Mighty, the Wise!

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ الْمُنْتَجَبُ وَ رَسُولُهُ الْمُرْتَضَى أَرْسَلَهُ‏ بِالْهُدى‏ وَ دِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ‏

And I testify that Muhammad^-saww is His^-azwj servant, the selected and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww, the nominated! He^-azwj Sent him^-saww with the guidance and the religion of truth for it to prevail upon the religions, all of them, and even if the Polytheists dislike it!

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ أَفْضَلَ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ أَكْمَلَهَا وَ أَنْمَى بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ أَعَمَّهَا وَ أَزْكَى تَحِيَّاتِكَ وَ أَتَمَّهَا عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ نَجِيِّكَ وَ وَلِيِّكَ وَ رَضِيِّكَ وَ صَفِيِّكَ وَ خِيَرَتِكَ وَ خَاصَّتِكَ وَ خَالِصَتِكَ وَ أَمِينِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Make best of Your^-azwj Salawaat, and its perfect, and most developing of Your^-azwj Blessings, and its general, and purest of Your^-azwj Salutations, and its most complete be upon our chief Muhammad^-saww Your^-azwj servant, and Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and Your^-azwj saviour, and Your^-azwj guardian, and Your^-azwj pleasing, and Your^-azwj elite, and Your^-azwj Choice, and Your^-azwj special one, and Your^-azwj trustee!

عُنْصُرِ الْأَبْرَارِ وَ مَعْدِنِ الْفَخَارِ وَ قَسِيمِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ صَاحِبِ الْأَعْرَافِ وَ أَبِي الْأَئِمَّةِ الْأَشْرَافِ الْمَظْلُومِ الْمُغْتَصَبِ وَ الصَّابِرِ الْمُحْتَسِبِ وَ الْمَوْتُورِ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ عِتْرَتِهِ الْمَقْصُودِ فِي رَهْطِهِ وَ أَعِزَّتِهِ صَلَاةً لَا انْقِطَاعَ لِمَزِيدِهَا وَ لَا اتِّضَاعَ لِمَشِيدِهَا

Send Salawaat upon her^-asws, a Salawaat with no limit to its span, no end to its duration, and no count to its number!

اللَّهُمَّ فَتَكَفَّلْ لَهَا عَنْ مَكَارِهِ دَارِ الْفَنَاءِ فِي دَارِ الْبَقَاءِ بِأَنْفَسِ الْأَعْوَاضِ وَ أَنِلْهَا مِمَّنْ عَانَدَهَا نِهَايَةَ الْآمَالِ وَ غَايَةَ الْأَغْرَاضِ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى لَهَا وَلِيٌّ سَاخِطٌ لِسَخَطِهَا إِلَّا وَ هُوَ رَاضٍ إِنَّكَ أَعَزُّ مَنْ أَجَارَ الْمَظْلُومِينَ وَ أَعْدَلُ قَاضٍ اللَّهُمَّ أَلْحِقْهَا فِي الْإِكْرَامِ بِبَعْلِهَا وَ أَبِيهَا وَ خُذْ لَهَا الْحَقَّ مِنْ ظَالِمِيهَا

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ ذُنُوبَنَا بِهِمْ مَغْفُورَةً وَ عُيُوبَنَا مَسْتُورَةً وَ فَرَائِضَنَا مَشْكُورَةً وَ نَوَافِلَنَا مَبْرُورَةً وَ قُلُوبَنَا بِذِكْرِكَ مَعْمُورَةً وَ أَنْفُسَنَا بِطَاعَتِكَ مَسْرُورَةً وَ جَوَارِحَنَا عَلَى خِدْمَتِكَ مَقْهُورَةً وَ أَسْمَاءَنَا فِي خَوَاصِّكَ مَشْهُورَةً وَ أَرْزَاقَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ مَدْرُورَةً وَ حَوَائِجَنَا لَدَيْكَ مَيْسُورَةً بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Make our sins Forgiveness through them^-asws, and our faults veiled, and our obligatory acts Appreciated, and our optional acts accomplished, and our hearts filled with Your^-azwj Zikr, and our souls happy with obeying You^-azwj, and our limbs subdued upon serving You^-azwj, and our names to be well-known among Your^-azwj special ones, and our sustenance from You^-azwj abundant, easy, by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِزْ لَهُمْ وَعْدَكَ وَ طَهِّرْ بِسَيْفِ قَائِمِهِمْ أَرْضَكَ وَ أَقِمْ بِهِ حُدُودَكَ الْمُعَطَّلَةَ وَ أَحْكَامَكَ الْمُهْمَلَةَ وَ الْمُبَدَّلَةَ وَ أَحْيِ بِهِ الْقُلُوبَ الْمَيْتَةَ وَ اجْمَعْ بِهِ الْأَهْوَاءَ الْمُتَفَرِّقَةَ وَ اجْلُ بِهِ صَدَاءَ الْجَوْرِ عَنْ طَرِيقَتِكَ حَتَّى يَظْهَرَ الْحَقُّ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فِي أَحْسَنِ صُورَتِهِ وَ يَهْلِكَ الْبَاطِلُ وَ أَهْلُهُ بِنُورِ دَوْلَتِهِ وَ لَا يَسْتَخْفِيَ لِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ مَخَافَةَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ اللَّهُمَّ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُمْ وَ أَظْهِرْ فَلْجَهُمْ

O Allah^-azwj! Fulfil Your^-azwj Promise to them^-asws, and Purify Your^-azwj land with the sword of their Qaim^-ajfj. Establish through him^-ajfj Your^-azwj neglected limits, Your^-azwj abandoned and altered laws. Revive through him^-ajfj the dead hearts, unite through him^-ajfj the divided desires, and remove through him^-ajfj the rust of injustice from Your^-ajfj path, until truth appears at his^-ajfj hands in its finest form, and falsehood and its people perish by the light of his^-ajfj rule. Let no part of the truth remain hidden out of fear of any of Your^-azwj creatures. O Allah^-azwj! Hasten their^-asws relief and make their^-asws triumph manifest!

وَ اسْلُكْ بِنَا مَنْهَجَهُمْ وَ أَمِتْنَا عَلَى وَلَايَتِهِمْ وَ احْشُرْنَا فِي زُمْرَتِهِمْ وَ تَحْتَ لِوَائِهِمْ وَ أَوْرِدْنَا حَوْضَهُمْ وَ اسْقِنَا بِكَأْسِهِمْ وَ لَا تُفَرِّقْ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا شَفَاعَتَهُمْ حَتَّى نَظْفَرَ بِعَفْوِكَ وَ غُفْرَانِكَ وَ نَصِيرَ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ وَ رِضْوَانِكَ إِلَهَ الْحَقِّ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

And Lead us upon their path, and Cause us to die holding to their Wilayah, Gather us in their^-asws group and under their banner, Bring us to^-asws their pool and give us to drink from their^-asws cup, do not Separate us from them^-asws, and do not Deprive us of their intercession until we attain Your^-azwj Pardon and Forgiveness and are brought to Your^-azwj Mercy and Pleasure, God^-azwj of truth, Lord^-azwj of the worlds!

يَا قَرِيبَ الرَّحْمَةِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ نَحْنُ أُولَئِكَ‏ حَقّاً لَا ارْتِيَاباً يَا مَنْ إِذَا أَوْحَشَنَا التَّعَرُّضُ لِغَضَبِهِ آنَسَنَا حُسْنُ الظَّنِّ بِهِ فَنَحْنُ وَاثِقُونَ‏ بَيْنَ رَغْبَةٍ وَ رَهْبَةٍ ارْتِقَاباً قَدْ أَقْبَلْنَا لِعَفْوِكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ طُلَّاباً فَأَذْلَلْنَا لِقُدْرَتِكَ وَ عِزَّتِكَ رِقَاباً

O You^-azwj Who are near in Mercy to the believers, and truly we are among them without any doubt! O You^-azwj Who when we are distressed by the fear of Your^-azwj anger, Bring us comfort through our good opinion of You^-azwj, for we are confident between hope and fear, in anticipation! We have turned to Your^-azwj Pardon and Forgiveness as seekers, and we have humbled our necks before Your^-azwj Power and Might!

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ اجْعَلْ دُعَاءَنَا بِهِمْ مُسْتَجَاباً وَ وَلَاءَنَا لَهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ حِجَاباً

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, the pure, and Make our supplication Answered through them^-asws, and our Wilayah to them^-asws a barrier from the Hellfire!

اللَّهُمَّ بَصِّرْنَا قَصْدَ السَّبِيلِ لِنَعْتَمِدَهُ وَ مَوْرِدَ الرُّشْدِ لِنَرِدَهُ وَ بَدِّلْ خَطَايَانَا صَوَاباً وَ لا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنا وَ هَبْ لَنا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً يَا مَنْ تَسَمَّى جُودُهُ وَ كَرَمُهُ وَهَّاباً وَ آتِنا فِي الدُّنْيا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنا عَذابَ النَّارِ إِنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْنَا اكْتِسَاباً بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏

O Allah^-azwj! Show us clearly the right path so that we may follow it, and the source of guidance so that we may reach it, and Transform our mistakes into correctness, and do not let our hearts to deviate after having Guided us, and Gift Mercy to us from Yourself^-azwj!

O One Whose Generosity and His^-azwj Benevolence is named as Bestowment, and Give us good in the world and good in the Hereafter and Save us from Punishment of the Fire as it is deserving upon us having earned it, by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Mercy of the merciful ones!’

ثُمَّ تَعُودُ وَ تَقِفُ عَلَى الضَّرِيحِ وَ تَقُولُ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذُنُوباً لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا رِضَاهُ‏

Then come back and pause at the Shrine and say, ‘O Guardian of Allah^-azwj! Indeed, there are sins between me and Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic, that only His^-azwj Pleasure can remove!

فَبِحَقِّ مَنِ ائْتَمَنَكَ عَلَى سِرِّهِ وَ اسْتَرْعَاكَ أَمْرَ خَلْقِهِ وَ قَرَنَ طَاعَتَكَ بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ مُوَالاتَكَ بِمُوَالاتِهِ تَوَلَّ صَلَاحَ حَالِي مَعَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

By the right of the One Who Entrusted you^-asws with His^-azwj secret, Made you^-asws a guardian over His^-azwj creation, Joined obedience to you^-asws with obedience to Him^-azwj, and loyalty to you^-asws with loyalty to Him^-azwj, Take charge of rectifying my state with Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic!

وَ اجْعَلْ حَظِّي مِنْ زِيَارَتِكَ تَخْلِيطِي بِخَالِصِي زُوَّارِكَ الَّذِينَ تَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي عِتْقِ رِقَابِهِمْ وَ تَرْغَبُ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي حُسْنِ ثَوَابِهِمْ وَ هَا أَنَا الْيَوْمَ بِقَبْرِكَ لَائِذٌ وَ بِحُسْنِ دِفَاعِكَ عَنِّي عَائِذٌ

And Make my share of this visitation to be counted among Your^-asws sincere visitors, those for whom you^-asws ask Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic, to free their necks and for whom you^-asws seek His^-azwj best Reward! Here I am today at your^-asws grave, seeking refuge, taking shelter in your^-asws noble intercession on my behalf!

فَتَلَافَنِي يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ أَدْرِكْنِي وَ اسْأَلِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي أَمْرِي فَإِنَّ لَكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَقَاماً كَرِيماً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً

So, rescue me, O my master, and come to my aid. Intercede with Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic, concerning my matter, for you^-asws hold a noble position with Him^-azwj! May the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon you^-asws and abundant greetings!’

ثُمَّ قَبِّلِ الضَّرِيحَ وَ تَوَجَّهْ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ وَ ارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ لَمَّا فَرَضْتَ عَلَيَّ طَاعَتَهُ وَ أَكْرَمْتَنِي بِمُوَالاتِهِ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ لِجَلِيلِ مَرْتَبَتِهِ عِنْدَكَ وَ نَفِيسِ حَظِّهِ لَدَيْكَ وَ لِقُرْبِ مَنْزِلَتِهِ مِنْكَ

Then kiss the Shrine and divert toward the Qiblah and raise your hands and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! When You^-azwj Made obedience to him^-asws obligatory upon me and honoured me with his^-asws Wilayah, I understood that this was due to the greatness of his^-asws rank with You^-azwj, the preciousness of his^-asws share in Your^-azwj Presence, and the nearness of his^-asws station to You^-azwj!’

فَلِذَلِكَ لُذْتُ بِقَبْرِهِ لِوَاذَ مَنْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ لَا تَرُدُّ لَهُ شَفَاعَةً فَبِقَديمِ عِلْمِكَ فِيهِ وَ حُسْنِ رِضَاكَ عَنْهُ ارْضَ عَنِّي وَ عَنْ وَالِدَيَّ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ لِلنَّارِ عَلَيَّ سَبِيلًا وَ لَا سُلْطَاناً بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

So, that reason I have sheltered with his^-asws grave, sheltering by the one who knows You^-azwj will not Return intercession of his^-asws. By Your^-azwj ancient Knowledge regarding him^-asws, and Your^-azwj excellent Pleasure with him^-asws, be Pleased with me and my parents, and do not Make a way for the Fire upon me nor any authority, by Your^-azwj Mercy O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’‏

ثُمَّ تَتَحَوَّلُ مِنْ مَوْضِعِكَ وَ تَقِفُ وَرَاءَ الْقَبْرِ فَاجْعَلْهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ ارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ لَوْ وَجَدْتُ شَفِيعاً أَقْرَبَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الْأَخْيَارِ الْأَتْقِيَاءِ الْأَبْرَارِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ لَاسْتَشْفَعْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَيْكَ وَ هَذَا قَبْرُ وَلِيٍّ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ‏ وَ سَيِّدٍ مِنْ أَصْفِيَائِكَ وَ مَنْ فَرَضْتَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ طَاعَتَهُ قَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ

Then transfer from your place and pause behind the grave and make it to be in front of you and raise your hands and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! If I could have found an intercessor closer to You^-azwj than Muhammad^-saww and People^-asws of his^-saww Household, the goodly, the pious, the righteous, upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws be the greeting, in order to seek intercession through them^-asws to You^-azwj, and this is the grave of a guardian from Your^-azwj guardians, and chief of the ones You^-azwj have Chosen, and one, obedience to him^-asws You^-azwj have Obligated upon the creatures, I have made him^-asws in front of me!

أَسْأَلُكَ يَا رَبِّ بِحُرْمَتِهِ عِنْدَكَ وَ بِحَقِّهِ عَلَيْكَ لَمَّا نَظَرْتَ إِلَيَّ نَظْرَةً رَحِيمَةً مِنْ نَظَرَاتِكَ تَلُمُّ بِهَا شَعَثِي وَ تُصْلِحُ بِهَا حَالِي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ فَإِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

I ask You^-azwj O Lord^-azwj, by his^-asws sanctity in Your^-azwj Presence, and by his^-asws right upon You^-azwj, that You^-azwj look upon me with a Merciful Glance from among Your^-azwj Glances, a Glance that gathers my scattered state and rectifies my condition in this world and the Hereafter, for You^-azwj are Able of all things!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ ذُنُوبِي لَمَّا فَاتَتِ الْعَدَدَ وَ جَازَتِ الْأَمَدَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ شَفَاعَةَ كُلِّ شَافِعٍ دُونَ أَوْلِيَائِكَ تَقْصُرُ عَنْهَا فَوَصَلْتُ الْمَسِيرَ مِنْ بَلَدَيِ قَاصِداً وَلِيَّكَ بِالْبُشْرَى وَ مُتَعَلِّقاً مِنْهُ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَى وَ هَا أَنَا يَا مَوْلَايَ قَدِ اسْتَشْفَعْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَقْسَمْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْكَ فَارْحَمْ غُرْبَتِي وَ اقْبَلْ تَوْبَتِي

O Allah^-azwj! When my sins exceeded count and surpassed all limits, I realised that the intercession of every intercessor, apart from Your^-azwj Chosen ones, would fall short of covering them. So, I set out from my homeland journeying toward Your^-azwj guardian, bearing hope and clinging to the firmest handhold, and here I am, O my Master, seeking his^-asws intercession with You^-azwj and swearing by him^-azwj upon You^-azwj! So have Mercy on my estrangement and Accept my repentance!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَا أُعَوِّلُ عَلَى صَالِحَةٍ سَلَفَتْ مِنِّي وَ لَا أَثِقُ بِحَسَنَةٍ تَقُومُ بِالْحُجَّةِ عَنِّي وَ لَوْ أَنِّي قَدَّمْتُ حَسَنَاتِ جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ ثُمَّ خَالَفْتُ طَاعَةَ أَوْلِيَائِكَ لَكَانَتْ تِلْكَ الْحَسَنَاتُ مُزْعِجَةً لِي عَنْ جِوَارِكَ غَيْرَ حَائِلَةٍ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ نَارِكَ فَلِذَلِكَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ أَفْضَلَ طَاعَتِكَ طَاعَةُ أَوْلِيَائِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! I do not rely on any righteous deed I have done in the past, nor do I place trust in any good act to serve as a proof on my behalf. Even if I had offered the good deeds of all Your^-azwj creatures, yet opposed the obedience of Your^-azwj Chosen ones, those deeds would drive me away from Your^-azwj nearness and would not protect me from Your^-azwj Fire! Therefore, I have come to know that the best of Your^-azwj obedience is the obedience to Your^-azwj Chosen ones!

اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْ تَوَجُّهِي بِمَنْ تَوَجَّهْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ فَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنِّي غَيْرُ وَاجِدٍ أَعْظَمَ مِقْدَارٍ مِنْهُمْ لِمَكَانِهِمْ مِنْكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Mercy on my turning to You^-azwj through the one by whom I have turned to You^-azwj, for You^-azwj surely know that I have found none greater in status with You^-azwj than them^-asws, because of their nearness to You^-azwj, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ بِالْإِنْعَامِ مَوْصُوفٌ وَ وَلِيُّكَ بِالشَّفَاعَةِ لِمَنْ أَتَاهُ مَعْرُوفٌ فَإِذَا شَفَعَ فِيَّ مُتَفَضِّلًا كَانَ وَجْهُكَ عَلَيَّ مُقْبِلًا وَ إِذَا كَانَ وَجْهُكَ عَلَيَّ مُقْبِلًا أَصَبْتُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلًا

O Allah^-azwj! Indeed You^-azwj are described with Generosity, and Your^-azwj guardian is known for interceding on behalf of those who come to him^-asws. So, if he^-asws intercedes for me out of grace, then Your^-azwj Face will Turn toward me in Acceptance, and when Your^-azwj Face turns toward me, I will attain a place in Paradise.

اللَّهُمَّ فَكَمَا أَتَوَسَّلُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَمُنَّ عَلَيَّ بِالرِّضَا وَ النِّعَمِ

O Allah^-azwj! Just as I seek nearness to You^-azwj through him^-asws, Bestow upon me Your^-azwj Pleasure and Blessings!

اللَّهُمَّ أَرْضِهِ عَنَّا وَ لَا تُسْخِطْهُ عَلَيْنَا وَ اهْدِنَا بِهِ وَ لَا تُضِلَّنَا فِيهِ وَ اجْعَلْنَا فِيهِ عَلَى السَّبِيلِ الَّذِي تَخْتَارُهُ وَ أَضِفْ طَاعَتِي إِلَى خَالِصِ نِيَّتِي فِي تَحِيَّتِي‏ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Be Pleased with him^-asws on our behalf and do not let him^-asws be displeased with us. Guide us through him^-asws and do not let us go astray concerning him. Place us upon the path that You^-azwj Choose through him^-asws, and Join my obedience with the sincerity of my intention in my salutation, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى خِيَارِ خَلْقِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ كَمَا انْتَجَبْتَهُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ وَ اخْتَرْتَهُمْ عَلَى عِلْمٍ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon the best of Your^-azwj creation, Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, just as You^-azwj have Chosen them above all the worlds and Selected them with knowledge over the first generations!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى حُجَّتِكَ وَ صَفْوَتِكَ مِنْ بَرِيَّتِكَ التَّالِي لِنَبِيِّكَ الْمُقِيمِ لِأَمْرِكَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ الزَّهْرَاءِ سَيِّدَةِ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ شَنْفَيْ عَرْشِكَ وَ دَلِيلَيْ خَلْقِكَ‏ عَلَيْكَ وَ دُعَاتَهُمْ إِلَيْكَ

O Allah^-azwj, and Send Salawaat upon Your^-azwj Divine authority and Your^-azwj elite from Your^-azwj Created beings, the follower of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, the upholder of Your^-azwj Command, Ali Bin Abu Talib^-asws, and Send Salawaat upon (Syeda) Fatima Al-Zahra^-asws, chieftess of women of the worlds, and Send Salawaat upon Al-Hassan^-asws and Al-Husayn^-asws, two sides of Your^-azwj Throne, and pointers of the creatures upon You^-azwj, and their callers to You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ جَعْفَرٍ وَ مُوسَى وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْخَلَفِ الصَّالِحِ الْبَاقِي مَصَابِيحِ الظَّلَامِ وَ حُجَجِكَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْأَنَامِ خَزَنَةِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يُعْدَمَ وَ حُمَاةِ الدِّينِ أَنْ يَسْقُمَ صَلَاةً يَكُونُ الْجَزَاءُ عَلَيْهَا أَتَمَّ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ نَوَامِيَ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ كَرَائِمَ إِحْسَانِكَ

O Allah^-azwj, and Send Salawaat upon Ali^-asws, and Muhammad^-asws, and Ja’far^-asws, and Musa^-asws, and Ali^-asws, and Muhammad^-asws, and Ali^-asws, and Al-Hassan^-asws, and the righteous successor^-ajfj, the remaining of lamps in the darkness, and Your^-azwj Divine authorities upon entirety of the people, treasurers of the knowledge lest it be lost, and protectors of the religion lest it be harmed, such Salawaat, the Reward upon it would be the most complete of Your^-azwj Pleasure, and most developed of Your^-azwj Blessings, and most honourable of Your^-azwj Favours!

اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ أَعْدَاءَهُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ ضَاعِفْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Curse their^-asws enemies, from the Jinn and the humans altogether, and Multiply the painful Punishment upon them, and the greeting upon you^-asws and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’

ثُمَّ تَدْعُو هَاهُنَا بِدُعَاءِ الْعَهْدِ الْمَأْمُورِ بِهِ فِي حَالِ الْغَيْبَةِ وَ قَدْ تَقَدَّمَ فِي زِيَارَةِ الْقَائِمِ ع ثُمَّ تَقُولُ أَيْضاً اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ نَفْسِي مُطْمَئِنَّةً بِقَدَرِكَ رَاضِيَةً بِقَضَائِكَ مُولَعَةً بِذِكْرِكَ وَ دُعَائِكَ مُحِبَّةً لِصَفْوَةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ مَحْبُوبَةً فِي أَرْضِكَ وَ سَمَائِكَ صَابِرَةً عَلَى نُزُولِ بَلَائِكَ مُشْتَاقَةً إِلَى فَرْحَةِ لِقَائِكَ مُتَزَوِّدَةً التَّقْوَى لِيَوْمِ جَزَائِكَ مُسْتَسِنَّةً بِسُنَنِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ مُفَارِقَةً لِأَخْلَاقِ أَعْدَائِكَ مَشْغُولَةً عَنِ الدُّنْيَا بِحَمْدِكَ وَ ثَنَائِكَ‏.

The supplicate over here with ‘Dua Al Ahad’, the commanded with during the state of occultation, and it has preceded in Ziyarat Al-Qaim^-ajfj. Then say as well, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make my soul to be reassured with Your^-azwj Determination, pleased with Your Decrees, devoted with Your^-azwj Zikr and supplicating to You^-azwj, loving to our^-azwj elite guardians, loved in Your^-azwj earth and sky, patient upon befalling of Your^-azwj calamities, yearning for happiness of meeting You^-azwj, provided the piety for a Day of Your^-azwj Recompense, conducting with the conducts of Your^-azwj friends, distancing from manners of Your^-azwj enemies, pre-occupied from the world with praising You^-azwj and lauding You^-azwj!’’[30]

أقول قال مؤلف المزار الكبير زيارة جامعة لسائر المشاهد على أصحابها أفضل السلام أملاها علينا الشريف الجليل العالم أبو المكارم حمزة بن علي بن زهرة أدام الله عزه من فلق فيه قال‏ إذا أردت زيارة أحد من الأئمة عليهم الصلاة و السلام فقف على بابه و قل-

I say, ‘The compiler of ‘Al-Mazar Al-Kabeer’ say, ‘There is a comprehensive Ziyarat of the rest of the Mausoleums, upon their occupants be best of the greetings, dictated to us by the noble majestic scholar Abu Al-Makarim Hamza Bin Ali Bin Zahra, may Allah^-azwj Make his honour permanent from the mouth it was spoken. He said, ‘When you want to visit anyone of the Imams^-asws, upon them^-asws be the Salawaat and the greeting, pause at his^-asws door and say,

اللهم إني قد وقفت على باب بيت من بيوت نبيك

‘O Allah^-azwj! I have paused at the door of a house from the houses of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww!’

أقول ثم ذكر دعاء الاستئذان الذي مر مرارا ثم ذكر الزيارة المتقدمة كما أورده السيد إلى قوله إن حقت علينا اكتسابا برحمتك يا أرحم الراحمين و أنت حسبنا وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ‏ ثم ذكر الوداع كما مر في الجامعة الثانية.

I say, ‘Then he mentioned a supplication for seeking the permission, which has passed repeatedly. Then he mentioned the previous Ziyarat just as it is referred by the Seyyid up to his words, ‘as it is deserving upon us having earned it, by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones’, and You^-azwj are Sufficient for us as are the best Disposer!’ Then he mentioned the farewell just as has passed in the second comprehensive (Ziyarat)’’.[31]

و رأيت في بعض مؤلفات أصحابنا أنه ذكر عن ابن عياش‏ أنه يستحب بعد زيارة كل إمام أن يصلي صلاة الزيارة ثم يعود و يقف على الضريح و يقول يا ولي الله إن بيني و بين الله عز و جل ذنوبا لا يأتي عليها إلا رضاك و ساق مثل ما مر إلى قوله و ضاعف عليهم العذاب الأليم و السلام عليك و رحمة الله و بركاته.

And I saw in one of the compilations of our companions. He mentioned from Ibn Ayyash, ‘It is recommended after Ziyarat of every Imams^-asws that one should pray Salat of the Ziyarat, then come back and pause at the Shrine, and he should say, ‘O guardian of Allah^-azwj! There are sins between me and Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic that only His^-azwj Pleasure can remove!’, and he continued similar to what has passed, up to his words, ‘And Multiply upon them the painful Punishment, and the greeting be upon you^-asws and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’’[32]

أقول فظهر أن ما أورده السيد ره ليس رواية واحدة بل ألف بين الروايات.

I say, ‘It is apparent that what the Seyyid has referred isn’t one Ziyarat, but a compilation between the reports’.

الزِّيَارَةُ الثَّامِنَةُ ذَكَرَهَا السَّيِّدُ ره وَ قَالَ إِنَّهَا مِنْ كَلَامِ الرِّضَا ع وَ ظَنِّي أَنَّهُ ره أَلَّفَهُ مِنَ الْخَبَرِ الَّذِي رَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع فِي فَضْلِ الْإِمَامِ وَ صِفَاتِهِ وَ قَدْ قَدَّمْنَا ذِكْرَهُ فِي كِتَابِ الْإِمَامَةِ وَ لَكِنْ لَمْ يُؤَلِّفْهُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي

The seventh Ziyarat, the Seyyid mentioned it and said, ‘It is from the speech of Al-Reza^-asws, and my thoughts are that he compiled it from the Hadeeth which is reported by Abdul Aziz Bin Muslim, from Al-Reza^-asws regarding merits of the Imam^-asws and his^-asws description, and we have forwarded, it is mentioned in ‘Kitab Al-Imamah’, but he did not compile it as it is befitting.

قَالَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ‏ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ زِيَارَةَ أَحَدِهِمْ ع فَقِفْ عَلَى ضَرِيحِهِ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْقَائِمِينَ مَقَامَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ الْوَارِثِينَ عُلُومَ الْأَصْفِيَاءِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى خُلَفَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ خُلَفَاءِ رَسُولِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا مَنْ هُمْ زِمَامُ الدِّينِ وَ نِظَامُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ صَلَاحُ الدُّنْيَا وَ عُدَّةُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

He, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, said, ‘When you want to visit one of them^-asws, stand at his^-asws Shrine and say, ‘The greeting be upon the ones standing in the position of Prophets^-as, the inheritors of knowledge of the elites! The greeting be upon caliphs of Allah^-azwj and caliphs of His^-azwj Rasool^-saww! The greeting be upon you^-asws, O leaders of the religion, the order of the Muslims, the righteousness of the world, and the support of the Momineen!

وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ سَلَامَ مُوَدِّعٍ وَ لَكُمْ حَوَائِجَهُ مُودِعٌ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْمَرْجِعَ وَ سَعْيُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ غَيْرَ مُنْقَطِعٍ

The greeting be upon you^-asws, a farewell of one departing, entrusting his needs to you^-asws, asking Allah^-azwj that the return be to you^-asws, and that my striving toward you^-asws never terminates!

وَ أَنْ يُرْجِعَنِي مِنْ حَضْرَتِكُمْ خَيْرَ مَرْجِعٍ إِلَى جَنَابٍ مُمْرِعٍ وَ خَفْضٍ مُوَسَّعٍ وَ دَعَةٍ وَ مَهَلٍ إِلَى حِينِ الْأَجَلِ وَ خَيْرِ مَصِيرٍ وَ مَحَلٍّ فِي النَّعِيمِ الْأَزَلِ وَ الْعَيْشِ الْمُقْتَبَلِ وَ دَوَامِ الْأُكُلِ وَ شُرْبِ الرَّحِيقِ وَ السَّلْسَلِ وَ عَلٍّ وَ نَهَلٍ لَا سَأَمَ مِنْهُ وَ لَا مَلَلَ

May He^-azwj Return me from your^-asws presence with the best of returns to a generous sanctuary, an expanded ease, and a prolonged comfort until the appointed time, and to the best final destination and resting place in everlasting bliss, a life of joy, continuous sustenance, and drinking of pure nectar, flowing water, sweet drink, and abundant draughts without weariness or boredom.

وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ وَ تَحِيَّاتُهُ حَتَّى الْعَوْدِ إِلَى حَضْرَتِكُمْ وَ الْفَوْزِ فِي كَرَّتِكُمْ وَ الْحَشْرِ فِي زُمْرَتِكُمْ

الزِّيَارَةُ الْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ زِيَارَةُ الْمُصَافَقَةِ وَجَدْتُ فِي نُسْخَةٍ قَدِيمَةٍ مِنْ تَأْلِيفَاتِ أَصْحَابِنَا مَا هَذَا لَفْظُهُ رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ أَنَّ زِيَارَةَ سَادَاتِنَا ع إِنَّمَا هِيَ تَجْدِيدُ الْعَهْدِ وَ الْمِيثَاقِ الْمَأْخُوذِ فِي رِقَابِ الْعِبَادِ وَ سَبِيلُ الزَّائِرِ أَنْ يَقُولَ عِنْدَ زِيَارَتِهِمْ ع‏

The eleventh Ziyarat – Ziyarat of the handshake I found in an ancient copy from compilations of our companions what its wording is this, reported by more than one that Ziyarat of our chiefs, but rather it is renewal of the pact and the Covenant taken in necks of the servants, way of the visitor that should say at visiting them^-asws: –

جِئْتُكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ زَائِراً لَكَ وَ مُسَلِّماً عَلَيْكَ وَ لَائِذاً بِكَ وَ قَاصِداً إِلَيْكَ أُجَدِّدُ مَا أَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَكُمْ فِي رَقَبَتِي مِنَ الْعَهْدِ وَ الْبَيْعَةِ وَ الْمِيثَاقِ بِالْوَلَايَةِ لَكُمْ وَ الْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكُمْ مُعْتَرِفاً بِالْمَفْرُوضِ مِنْ طَاعَتِكُمْ

‘I have come to you^-asws, O my master, as a visitor to you^-asws, greeting be upon you^-asws, seeking refuge with you, and sheltering to you^-asws! I renew the covenant, allegiance, and pact that Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic, has Taken for you^-asws in my neck, with the Wilayah for you^-asws and the disavowing from your^-asws enemies, acknowledging the obligation of obeying you^-asws!’

ثُمَّ تَضَعُ يَدَكَ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ تَقُولُ هَذِهِ يَدِي مُصَافِقَةٌ لَكَ عَلَى الْبَيْعَةِ الْوَاجِبَةِ عَلَيْنَا فَاقْبَلْ ذَلِكَ مِنِّي يَا إِمَامِي فَقَدْ زُرْتُكَ وَ أَنَا مُعْتَرِفٌ بِحَقِّكَ مَعَ مَا أَلْزَمَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ مِنْ نُصْرَتِكَ

Then place your right hand upon the grave and say, ‘This is my hand, shaking hands with you^-asws in pledge of the allegiance that is obligatory upon us^-asws! So, accept this from me, O my Imam^-asws, for I have visited you^-asws acknowledging your^-asws right, along with what Allah^-azwj, Glorified is He^-azwj, has Made incumbent in supporting you^-asws!

وَ هَذِهِ يَدِي عَلَى مَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ مِنْ مُوَالاتِكُمْ وَ الْإِقْرَارِ بِالْمُفْتَرَضِ مِنْ طَاعَتِكُمْ وَ الْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكُمْ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

And this is my hand upon what Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Commanded with of your^-asws Wilayah, and the acceptance of the obligation of obeying you^-asws, and the disavowing from your^-asws enemies, and the greeting be upon you^-asws, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’

ثُمَّ قَبِّلِ الضَّرِيحَ الشَّرِيفَ وَ قُلْ يَا سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ وَ إِمَامِي وَ الْمُفْتَرَضَ عَلَيَّ طَاعَتُهُ

Then kiss the noble Shrine and say, ‘O my chief and my master, and my Imam^-asws, and obedience to him^-asws is obligated upon me!

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ بَقِيتَ عَلَى الْوَفَاءِ بِالْوَعْدِ وَ الدَّوَامِ عَلَى الْعَهْدِ وَ قَدْ سَلَفَ مِنْ جَمِيلِ وَعْدِكَ لِمَنْ زَارَ قَبْرَكَ مَا أَنْتَ الْمَرْجُوُّ لِلْوَفَاءِ بِهِ وَ الْمُؤَمَّلُ لِتَمَامِهِ وَ قَدْ قَصَدْتُكَ مِنْ بَلَدِي وَ جَعَلْتُكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مُعْتَمَدِي فَحَقِّقْ ظَنِّي وَ مُخَيَّلَتِي فِيكَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً كَثِيراً

I testify you^-asws have remained upon the loyalty to the promise, and constant in upholding the Covenant, and from the beauty of your^-asws promise to those who visit your^-asws grave, much has already been conveyed, you^-asws are the one hoped for to fulfil it and relied upon to complete it. I have come to you^-asws from my homeland, placing my trust in you^-asws before Allah^-azwj! So, make my hope and expectations in you^-asws a reality. May the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon you^-asws and abundant greetings!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِزِيَارَتِي إِيَّاهُ وَ أَرْجُو مِنْكَ النَّجَاةَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ بِآبَائِهِ وَ أَبْنَائِهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ رَضِينَا بِهِمْ أَئِمَّةً وَ سَادَةً وَ قَادَةً

O Allah^-azwj! I draw closer to You^-azwj with my visiting him^-asws, and hope from You^-azwj the salvation from the Fire, and through his^-asws forefathers^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj upon them^-asws! We are pleased with them^-asws as Imams^-asws and chiefs and leaders!

اللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْنِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ أَدْخَلْتَهُمْ فِيهِ وَ أَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ أَخْرَجْتَهُمْ مِنْهُ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مَعَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Include me in every goodness You^-azwj have Included them^-asws in, and Extract me from every evil You^-azwj have Extracted them^-asws from, and Make me with them^-asws in the world and the Hereafter, by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds!’

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكَعَاتِ الزِّيَارَةِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ إِمَامٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَنْصَرِفُ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ كَانَتِ الزِّيَارَةُ مِثْلَ الْعَهْدِ الْمُجَدَّدِ.

Then pray two units Salat in the presence of each Imam^-asws and leave. When you have done that, the Ziyarat would be similar to the renewed pact!’’[37]

الزِّيَارَةُ الثَّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ زِيَارَةٌ وَجَدْتُهَا أَيْضاً فِي الْكِتَابِ الْمَذْكُورِ وَ الْمَظْنُونُ أَنَّهَا مِنَ الْمُؤَلَّفَاتِ غَيْرُ مَرْوِيَّةٍ عَنِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَاةِ وَ هِيَ هَذِهِ

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ بِحَقَائِقِ الْإِيمَانِ وَ صِدْقِ الْيَقِينِ أَنَّهُمْ خُلَفَاؤُكَ فِي أَرْضِكَ وَ حُجَجُكَ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ وَ الْوَسَائِلُ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَبْوَابُ رَحْمَتِكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ اجْعَلْ حَظِّي مِنْ دُعَائِكَ إِجَابَتَهُ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ حَظِّي مِنْهُ تِلَاوَتَهُ

O Allah^-azwj! I testify with the realities of Eman and sincere conviction they^-asws are Your^-azwj caliphs in Your^-azwj earth, and Your^-azwj Divine authorities upon Your^-azwj servants, and the means to You^-azwj, and the doors of Your^-azwj Mercy, so Send Salawaat upon them^-asws all, and Make my share of supplicating to You^-azwj being its Answer, and do not Make my share from it, its recitation (only)!

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ مَقَامِي فِي هَذَا الْمَشْهَدِ الْمُقَدَّسِ الْمُطَهَّرِ مَقَامَ إِجَابَةٍ وَ اسْتِعْطَافٍ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ مَقَامَ إِهَانَةٍ وَ اسْتِخْفَافٍ فَقَدْ عَرَفْنَاكَ يَا رَبِّ مُعْطِياً قَبْلَ السُّؤَالِ فَكَيْفَ لَا نَرْجُوكَ عِنْدَ الضَّرَاعَةِ وَ الِابْتِهَالِ لَا سِيَّمَا قَدْ وَعَدْتَنَا بِالْإِجَابَةِ حِينَ أَمَرْتَنَا بِالدُّعَاءِ وَ ضَمِنْتَ لَنَا بُلُوغَ الرَّجَاءِ وَ أَنْتَ أَوْفَى الضَّامِنِينَ وَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Make my position in his Holy Purified Mausoleum, the place of its Answer and Merc, and do not Make it a place of humiliation and disregard, for we have known You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, as One Who gives before being asked, so how can we not hope in You^-azwj at the time of supplication and earnest plea, especially when You^-azwj have Promised us a response when You^-azwj Commanded us to pray and guaranteed us the attainment of our hopes, while You^-azwj are the most faithful of those who make promises and the most Merciful of the merciful!

إِلَهِي عَصَيْتُكَ فِي بَعْضِ الْأَوْقَاتِ وَ آمَنْتُ بِكَ فِي كُلِّ الْأَوْقَاتِ فَكَيْفَ يَغْلِبُ بَعْضُ عُمُرِي مُذْنِباً كُلَّ عُمُرِي مُؤْمِناً

My God^-azwj! I disobeyed You^-azwj in some of the times and believed in You^-azwj in all the time, so how can part of my life as a sinner overcome all of my life as a believer?

إِلَهِي وَ عِزَّتِكَ لَوْ كَانَ لِي صَبْرٌ عَلَى عَذَابِكَ أَوْ جَلَدٌ عَلَى احْتِمَالِ عِقَابِكَ لَمَا سَأَلْتُكَ الْعَفْوَ عَنِّي وَ لَصَبَرْتُ عَلَى انْتِقَامِكَ مِنِّي سَخَطاً عَلَى نَفْسِي كَيْفَ عَصَتْكَ وَ مَقْتاً لَهَا كَيْفَ أَقْبَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا وَ أَدْبَرَتْ مُعْرِضَةً عَنْكَ

My God^-azwj, by Your^-azwj Might! If there was patience for me upon Your^-azwj Punishment, or the strength to bear Your^-azwj Retribution, I would not ask You^-azwj to Pardon me, and I would endure Your^-azwj vengeance against me out of anger at myself for having disobeyed You^-azwj and out of contempt for it for turning toward its desires and turning away from You^-azwj!

إِلَهِي كَيْفَ آيَسُ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ كَيْفَ أَرْجِعُ بِالْخَيْبَةِ وَ أَنْتَ أَكْرَمُ الْأَكْرَمِينَ

My God^-azwj! How can I despair of Your^-azwj Mercy when You^-azwj are the most Merciful of the merciful ones? And how can I return in disappointment when You^-azwj are the most benevolent of the benevolent ones?

إِلَهِي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الَّتِي كَتَبْتَهَا عَلَى قُلُوبِ أَصْفِيَائِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ أُمَنَائِكَ فَعَرَفُوا مَا عَرَّفْتَهُمْ وَ فَهِمُوا مَا فَهَّمْتَهُمْ وَ عَقَلُوا مَا أَوْحَيْتَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ خَصَائِصِكَ‏ وَ عَزَائِمِكَ

My God^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Names which You^-azwj Wrote upon hearts of Your^-azwj elites, Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, Your^-azwj trusted ones! So, they^-asws recognised what You^-azwj Introduced to them^-asws and they^-asws understood what You^-azwj Made them^-asws understand, and they grasped what You^-azwj Revealed to them^-asws from Your^-azwj specialised matters and Your^-azwj Determined Commands!

وَ ضَرَبْتَ أَمْثَالَهُمْ وَ أَنَرْتَ بُرْهَانَهُمْ وَ قَرَنْتَ بِاسْمِكَ‏ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ إِلَّا مَا خَلَّصْتَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ أَنَا فِيهِ وَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الشَّدَائِدِ وَ مِنْ أَهْوَالِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

And You^-azwj Struck their^-asws examples and Irradiated their^-asws proofs, and Paired their^-asws names with Your^-azwj Name(s), please Rescue me from every evil I am in, and from the entirety of the hardships, and from horrors of the Day of Qiyamah!

إِلَهِي كَيْفَ أَفْرَحُ وَ قَدْ عَصَيْتُكَ وَ كَيْفَ أَحْزَنُ وَ قَدْ عَرَفْتُكَ وَ كَيْفَ أَدْعُوكَ وَ أَنَا عَاصٍ وَ كَيْفَ لَا أَدْعُوكَ وَ أَنْتَ كَرِيمٌ

My God^-azwj! How can I be joyful while I have disobeyed You^-azwj, and how can I grieve while I have recognised You^-azwj, and how can I supplicate to You^-azwj while I am disobedient, and how can I not supplicate to You^-azwj while You^-azwj are Benevolent?

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ لِي فِي هَذَا الْمَقَامِ الشَّرِيفِ ذَنْباً إِلَّا غَفَرْتَهُ وَ لَا هَمّاً إِلَّا فَرَّجْتَهُ وَ لَا سُقْماً إِلَّا شَفَيْتَهُ وَ لَا دَيْناً إِلَّا قَضَيْتَهُ وَ لَا مَرِيضاً إِلَّا عَافَيْتَهُ وَ لَا غَائِباً إِلَّا حَفِظْتَهُ وَ رَدَدْتَهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and in this noble place do not Leave any sin for me except Forgive it, nor worry except Relieve it, nor sickness except Heal it, nor debt except Fulfil it, nor any sick one except Grant him well-being, nor absentee except Protect him and Return him!

وَ لَا عَدُوّاً إِلَّا قَصَمْتَهُ وَ لَا جَبَّاراً إِلَّا كَسَرْتَهُ وَ رَدَدْتَهُ وَ لَا حَاجَةً مِنْ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ لَكَ يَا رَبِّ فِيهَا رِضاً وَ لِيَ فِيهَا صَلَاحٌ إِلَّا قَضَيْتَهَا يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ.

And (Leave) no enemy except Break him, nor tyrant except Break him and Repel him, nor any need to You^-azwj from needs of the world and the Hereafter wherein is Your^-azwj Pleasure, O Lord^-azwj and there is Rectification for me in it except Fulfil it, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds, and the greeting be upon you^-asws all, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’’[38]

الزِّيَارَةُ الثَّالِثَةَ عَشْرَةَ مَأْخُوذَةٌ أَيْضاً مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْمَذْكُورِ قَالَ: وَدَاعٌ لِسَائِرِ الْأَئِمَّةِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا سَادَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَئِمَّةَ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ أَعْلَامَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَ وَرَثَةَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ سُلَالَةَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ قُدْوَةَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ حُجَجَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ

The thirteenth Ziyarat taken as well from the mentioned book. He said, ‘Farewell to rest of the Imams^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon them^-asws – ‘The greeting be upon you^-asws, O chiefs of the Momineen and Imams^-asws of the pious, and the flags of guidance, and inheritors of the Prophets^-as, and offspring of the Messengers^-as, and role models for the righteous, and Divine authorities upon the worlds!

قَدْ آنَ لَكُمْ مِنِّي الْوَدَاعُ وَ حَانَ التَّعْجِيلُ لَهُ وَ الْإِسْرَاعُ لَا مِنْ سَأَمٍ لَكُمْ وَ لَا مَلَلٍ لِلْمُقَامِ عِنْدَكُمْ لَكِنْ لِأَسْبَابٍ مَانِعَةٍ وَ مُلِمَّاتٍ عَنِ الْإِقَامَةِ دَافِعَةٍ يَتَّضِحُ لَهَا الِاعْتِذَارُ وَ يَتَعَذَّرُ مَعَهَا اللَّبْثُ وَ الْقَرَارُ

The time has come for me to bid you^-asws farewell, and the moment has arrived for haste and departure, not out of weariness with you^-asws, nor boredom with staying in your^-asws presence, but due to preventing circumstances and pressing matters that hinder my stay. These make my excuse clear and render continued presence and rest impossible.

فَأَسْتَوْدِعُكُمُ اللَّهَ وَ أَسْأَلُهُ بِكُمْ رِضَاهُ وَدَاعَ عَازِمٍ عَلَى الْعَوْدِ إِلَيْكُمْ مُتَأَسِّفٍ لِتَعَذُّرِ الْمُقَامِ لَدَيْكُمْ وَ كَيْفَ لَا يَتَأَسَّفُ عَلَى فِرَاقِ مَشَاهِدِكُمُ الشَّرِيفَةِ الْمُعَظَّمَةِ وَ بِقَاعِ قُبُورِكُمُ الْمُبَارَكَةِ الْمُكَرَّمَةِ وَ فِيهَا يُسْتَجَابُ الدُّعَاءُ وَ يُصْرَفُ السُّوْءُ وَ الْبَلَاءُ وَ يُمْحَى الشَّقَاءُ وَ يُشْفَى الدَّاءُ

So, I entrust you^-asws to Allah^-azwj and ask Him^-azwj, through you^-asws, for His^-azwj Satisfaction, a farewell from one determined to return to you^-asws, regretful for being unable to remain with you^-asws. And how could one not feel sorrow over parting from your^-asws noble and exalted shrines, and the blessed and honoured grounds of your^-asws graves? And therein the supplication is Answered, and the evil and the afflictions are turned away, and the misery is deleted, and illness is healed!

وَ بِكُمْ يُؤْمَنُ الْعَذَابُ وَ تَهُونُ الصِّعَابُ وَ يَنْجَحُ الطُّلَّابُ وَ يَرْجَحُ الثَّوَابُ وَ بِكُمْ تَتِمُّ النِّعْمَةُ وَ تَعُمُّ الرَّحْمَةُ وَ تَنْدَفِعُ النَّقِمَةُ وَ تَنْكَشِفُ الْغُمَّةُ وَ تُقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةُ وَ تُغْفَرُ الْحَوْبَةُ وَ تَزْكُو الْأَعْمَالُ وَ تُنَالُ الْآمَالُ وَ يَتَحَقَّقُ الرَّجَاءُ وَ تُبْلَغُ السَّرَّاءُ وَ تُدْفَعُ الضَّرَّاءُ وَ تُهْدَى الْآرَاءُ وَ تُرْشَدُ الْأَهْوَاءُ وَ تَحْصُلُ السِّيَادَةُ وَ تَكْمُلُ السَّعَادَةُ وَ يُقْبَلُ الْإِيمَانُ وَ يُدْرَكُ الْأَمَانُ وَ تُدْخَلُ الْجِنَانُ وَ عَنْكُمْ يُسْأَلُ الْإِنْسُ وَ الْجَانُّ

And through you^-asws, punishment is averted, hardships become easier, seekers succeed, and Rewards are increased. Through you^-asws, Blessings are completed, Mercy becomes widespread, Wrath is repelled, and distress is lifted. Repentance is accepted, sins are Forgiven, deeds are purified, hopes are attained, expectations are fulfilled, joy is reached, harm is driven away, opinions are guided, desires are corrected, leadership is achieved, happiness is perfected, faith is accepted, safety is realised, and Paradise is entered, and through you^-asws, both humans and Jinn are questioned.

فَوَا أَسَفَا لِمُفَارَقَةِ جَنَابِكُمْ وَ وَا شَوْقَاهْ إِلَى تَقْبِيلِ أَعْتَابِكُمْ وَ الْوُلُوجِ بِإِذْنِكُمْ لِأَبْوَابِكُمْ وَ تَعْفِيرِ الْخَدِّ عَلَى أَرِيجِ تُرَابِكُمْ وَ اللِّيَاذِ بِعَرَصَاتِكُمْ وَ مَحَالِّ أَبْدَانِكُمْ وَ أَشْخَاصِكُمُ الْمَحْفُوفَةِ بِالْمَلَائِكَةِ الْكِرَامِ وَ الْمَتْحُوفَةِ مِنَ اللَّهِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَ السَّلَامِ

Oh, what sorrow for parting from your^-asws presence, and oh, what longing to kiss your^-asws thresholds, to enter your^-asws doors with your^-asws permission, to press my cheek upon the fragrant soil of your^-asws graves, to seek refuge in your^-asws courtyards, the resting places of your^-asws bodies, and your^-asws noble forms surrounded by honoured Angels and enveloped by Mercy and Greeting from Allah^-azwj!

وَدِدْتُ أَنْ‏ كُنْتُ لَهَا سَادِناً وَ فِي جِوَارِهَا قَاطِناً لَا يُزْعِجُنِي عَنْهَا الرَّحِيلُ وَ لَا يَفُوتُنِي بِهَا الْمُقِيلُ لِيَكْثُرَ بِهَا إِلْمَامِي وَ اسْتِلَامِي لَهَا وَ سَلَامِي

I would have loved it if I could have been a caretaker for it and a resident in its vicinity! Neither any departure to trouble me from it, nor opportunity for rest there to escape me, so that my visits to it would be many, and I could frequently touch it and offer my greetings to it!

فَأَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي هَدَانِي لِمَعْرِفَتِكُمْ وَ أَكْرَمَنِي بِمَحَبَّتِكُمْ وَ تَعَبَّدَنِي بِوَلَايَتِكُمْ وَ نَدَبَنِي إِلَى زِيَارَتِكُمْ الْعَوْدَ مَا أَبْقَانِي إِلَى حَضْرَتِكُمْ وَ الْبِشَارَةَ إِذَا تَوَفَّانِي بِمُرَافَقَتِكُمْ وَ الْحَشْرَ فِي زُمْرَتِكُمْ وَ الدُّخُولَ فِي شَفَاعَتِكُمْ

So I ask Allah^-azwj, the One Who Guided me to know you^-asws, Honoured me with your^-asws love, Made your^-asws Wilayah an obligation upon me, and Encouraged me to visit you^-asws, to Grant me the return to your^-asws presence as long as He^-azwj Keeps me alive, and to Bless me when He^-azwj Takes me, with companionship with you^-asws, Resurrection among your^-asws group, and inclusion into your^-asws intercession!

فَيَا لَيْتَ شِعْرِي يَا سَادَتِي كَيْفَ حَالِي فِي رِحْلَتِي أَ مَغْفُورَةٌ ذُنُوبِي وَ مَسْتُورَةٌ عُيُوبِي وَ مَقْضِيَّةٌ حَاجَتِي وَ مُنْجَحَةٌ طَلِبَتِي فَذَاكَ الَّذِي أَمَّلْتُهُ وَ فِي كَرَمِكُمْ تَوَسَّمْتُهُ فَمَا أَسْعَدَنِي بِكُمْ وَ أَعْظَمَ فَوْزِي بِحُبِّكُمْ

I wonder, O my masters, what will be my condition upon my departure? Will my sins be Forgiven, my faults Concealed, my needs Fulfilled, and my request Granted? That is what I hope for, and I have seen it in your^-asws generosity! How fortunate I am because of you^-asws, and how great is my success through loving you^-asws!

أَمْ رَاحِلٌ بِوِزْرِي مُثْقِلٌ بِهِ ظَهْرِي مَحْجُوباً دُعَائِي خَائِباً رَجَائِي فَيَا شِقْوَتَاهْ إِنْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ حَالِي وَ يَا خَيْبَةَ آمَالِي يَأْبَى ذَلِكَ بِرُّكُمْ وَ إِحْسَانُكُمْ وَ جَمِيلُ وَعْدِكُمْ لِزَائِرِكُمْ وَ ضَمَانِكُمْ

Or will I be departing burdened with my sins, my back weighed down by them, my supplication blocked, my hope disappointed? Woe to me if this is my state, and how lost are my hopes! But your^-asws righteousness, your kindness, and your beautiful promises to your^-asws visitors and your^-asws guarantee forbid such an outcome.

وَ تَأْبَى مَكَارِمُ أَخْلَاقِكُمْ وَ طَهَارَةُ شِيَمِكُمْ وَ أَعْرَاقِكُمْ وَ كَرَمُكُمْ عَلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَ عِنَايَتُكُمْ بِزَائِرِكُمْ وَ مُحِبِّكُمْ أَنْ يَرُدَّ سُؤَّالَهُ أَوْ يُخَيِّبَ لَدَيْهِ‏ آمَالَهُ وَ يَأْبَى اللَّهُ إِلَّا تَصْدِيقَ وَعْدِكُمْ وَ تَحْقِيقَ الرَّجَاءِ بِقَصْدِكُمْ إِسْعَافاً وَ إِكْرَاماً لِقَاصِدِكُمْ وَ إِتْحَافاً بِالْخَيْرَاتِ لِزَائِرِكُمْ وَ كَذَلِكَ الظَّنُّ بِكُمْ وَ الْمَرْجُوُّ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ لِشِيعَتِكُمْ

The nobility of your^-asws character, the purity of your^-asws traits and roots, your^-asws honour with your^-asws Lord^-azwj, and your^-asws care for your^-asws visitors and lovers all prevent that a supplicant be turned away or a hopeful one be disappointed, and Allah^-azwj does not Desire except the fulfilment of Your^-azwj Promise and the realisation of hope for those who come to you^-asws for the sake of helping and honouring those who seek you^-asws and granting goodness to your^-asws visitors. This is what is expected of you^-asws, and this is the hope placed in your^-asws grace for your^-asws Shias!

وَ أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ وَ أَعْهَدُ عَلَيْهِ وَ أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي عَلَى مَا عَاهَدْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْإِقْرَارِ بِوَلَايَتِكُمْ وَ الِاعْتِقَادِ لِفَرْضِ طَاعَتِكُمْ وَ الِاعْتِرَافِ بِفَضْلِكُمْ وَ الْقِيَامِ بِنَصْرِكُمْ وَ التَّقَرُّبِ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِحُبِّكُمْ وَ الطَّاعَةِ لَهُ بِالْكَوْنِ مَعَكُمْ

And I testify to Allah^-azwj and make a covenant with Him^-azwj, and I call you^-asws to witness, that I remain steadfast upon what I have pledged to Him^-azwj, affirming your^-asws Wilayah, believing in the obligation of obedience to you^-asws, acknowledging your^-asws virtues, upholding your cause, seeking closeness to Allah^-azwj through loving you^-asws, and obeying Him^-azwj by being aligned with you^-asws!

وَ هَذِهِ يَدِي عَلَى مَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْوَفَاءِ بِعَهْدِكُمْ وَ الْبَيْعَةِ الْوَاجِبَةِ لَكُمْ لَا أَبْغِي بِذَلِكَ بَدَلًا وَ لَا أُرِيدُ عَنْهُ تَحْوِيلًا

And here is my hand in loyalty to the covenant Allah^-azwj has Commanded regarding your^-asws allegiance and the obligatory pledge to you^-asws. I neither seek a replacement for it nor do I want to transfer away from it!

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَمْرٌ عَازِمٌ وَ حَتْمٌ عَلَى الْأُمَّةِ لَازِمٌ لَا حُجَّةَ لِمَنْ جَهِلَهُ وَ لَا عُذْرَ لِمَنْ أَهْمَلَهُ أَدِينُ اللَّهَ بِذَلِكَ فِي السِّرِّ وَ الْإِعْلَانِ وَ الذُّكْرِ وَ النِّسْيَانِ وَ فِي الْمَمَاتِ وَ الْمَحْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ الْأُولَى وَ عَلَى بُعْدِ الدَّارِ وَ قُرْبِ الْمَزَارِ

And I testify that this is a Decisive Command from Allah^-azwj, an obligation upon the entire nation, one that none who is ignorant of it has any excuse for, nor any justification for those who neglect it. I profess this before Allah^-azwj, in private and in public, in remembrance and in forgetfulness, in death and in life, in the Hereafter and this world, whether I am far from your^-asws abode or near your^-asws shrine!

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ثَبِّتْنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَلْقَاكَ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِطَاعَتِكَ وَ رِضَاكَ وَ انْفَعْنِي بِمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي وَ زِدْنِي مِنَ الْخَيْرِ مَا أَلْهَمْتَنِي وَ لَا تُزِغْ قَلْبِي بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنِي فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا أَوْلَيْتَنِي

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Affirm me upon that until I meet You^-azwj, and Harmonise me to Your^-azwj obedience, and Your^-azwj Pleasure, and Benefit me with what You^-azwj have Taught me, and Increase me from the goodness what You^-azwj have Inspired me, and do not let my heart deviate after having Guided me! For You^-azwj is the Praise is upon You^-azwj have Bestowed me!

فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا مَنْ لَا تُحْصَى نِعَمُهُ وَ لَا يُوَازَى كَرَمُهُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنِّي لِزِيَارَةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ الْإِلْمَامِ بِمَشَاهِدِ حُجَجِكَ وَ أَصْفِيَائِكَ وَ أَلْهِمْنِي بِهَا شُكْرَ آلَائِكَ وَ الْإِلْحَاحَ بِمَسْأَلَتِكَ وَ دُعَائِكَ

I ask You^-azwj, O One Whose bounties cannot be counted, nor can His^-azwj Benevolence be compensated, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and do not Make it the last pact from me for visiting Your^-azwj guardians nor the last time at the Mausoleum of Your^-azwj Divine authorities and Your^-azwj elites, and Inspire me with it to thank for Your^-azwj Favours, and the insistence in requesting You^-azwj and supplicating to You^-azwj!

وَ اسْتَجِبْ لِي مَا دَعَوْتُكَ وَ أَعْطِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ كُلَّ مَا سَأَلْتُكَ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً وَازِعَةً وَ ارْحَمْنِي بِجُودِكَ رَحْمَةً وَاسِعَةً يُؤْمِنُنِي بِهَا مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَ النَّارِ وَ تُسْكِنُنِي بِفَضْلِكَ بِهَا دَارَ الْقَرَارِ مَعَ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْأَطْهَارِ وَ شِيعةِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَبْرَارِ

And Answer to me what I am supplicating to You^-azwj and Grant me, by Your^-azwj Grace, all what I am requesting You^-azwj, and Forgive for me abundant Forgiveness, and Mercy me with Your^-azwj Generosity a vast Mercy Securing me by it from Your^-azwj Wrath and the Fire, and Settle me by it with Your^-azwj Grace in the house of settlement with the pure Imams^-asws and the Shias of Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, the righteous!

وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ يَسَّرْتَ حِسَابَهُ وَ أَحْسَنْتَ إِلَيْكَ مَآبَهُ وَ مَحَوْتَ سَيِّئَاتِهِ وَ ضَاعَفْتَ‏ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَ حَشَرْتَهُ فِي زُمْرَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّاهِرِينَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ اغْفِرْ لِوَالِدَيَّ وَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

And Make me from the ones You^-azwj Ease his Reckoning, and You^-azwj Make his abode excellent, and Delete his evils deeds, and Multiply his good deeds, and Resurrect him in the group of Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, the pure! May Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon them^-asws all, and Forgive for my parents and the believers, by Your^-azwj Mercy O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[39]

الزِّيَارَةُ الرَّابِعَةَ عَشْرَةَ مَنْقُولَةٌ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْمَذْكُورِ قَالَ زِيَارَةٌ جَامِعَةٌ لِسَائِرِ الْأَئِمَّةِ وَ الْمَشَاهِدِ عَلَى سَاكِنِيهَا السَّلَامُ‏ تَسْتَأْذِنُ بِمَا تَقَدَّمَ وَ تَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا مَحَالَّ مَعْرِفَةِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا مَسَاكِنَ بَرَكَةِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَوْعِيَةَ تَقْدِيسِ اللَّهِ

The fourteenth Ziyarat copied from the mentioned book. He said, ‘A comprehensive Ziyarat for rest of the Imams^-asws and the Mausoleums, may the greeting be upon their dwellers, – ‘You should seek permission with what we have forwarded, and say, ‘The greeting be upon you^-asws O places of recognising Allah^-azwj! The greeting be upon you^-asws O settlements of the Blessings of Allah^-azwj! The greeting be upon you^-asws O receptacles of the Sanctity of Allah^-azwj!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا حَفَظَةَ سِرِّ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا مَنِ انْتَجَبَهُمُ اللَّهُ لِخَلْقِهِ أَعْلَاماً وَ لِدِينِهِ أَنْصَاراً وَ لِعِلْمِهِ وَ سِرِّهِ خُزَّاناً  وَرَّثَكُمْ كِتَابَهُ وَ خَصَّكُمْ بِكَرَائِمِ التَّنْزِيلِ وَ ضَرَبَ لَكُمْ مَثَلًا مِنْ نُورِهِ وَ أَجْرَى فِيكُمْ مِنْ رُوحِهِ فَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا سَادَاتِي وَ مَوَالِيَّ

The greeting be upon you^-asws O preservers of the secrets of Allah^-azwj! The greeting be upon you^-asws O ones Allah^-azwj Selected for His^-azwj creatures as flags, and as helpers for His^-azwj religion, and treasurers for His^-azwj Knowledge and Secrets! He^-azwj Made you^-asws inherit His^-azwj Book and Specialised you with honour of the Scriptures, and Struck examples for you^-asws from His^-azwj Noor, and Flowed from His^-azwj spirits into you^-asws! So may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon you^-asws O my chiefs and my masters!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ الْمُصْطَفَى السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا عَلِيُّ الْمُرْتَضَى السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ الزَّهْرَاءُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمَا أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدَانِ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الصَّادِقُ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ بَيْتِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ مَعْدِنَ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَيُّهَا الدَّعَائِمُ وَ الْأَرْكَانُ الْمَخْصُوصُونَ بِالْإِمَامَةِ أَنَا وَلِيُّكُمْ وَ زَائِرُكُمْ‏ الْمُتَقَرِّبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِحُبِّكُمْ أُوَالِي وَلِيَّكُمْ وَ أَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِكُمْ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ

The greeting be upon you^-asws O People^-asws of the Household of the Prophet-hood, and the mines of the Message, and the interchange of Angels! The greeting be upon you^-asws O the pillars and supports, the ones specialised with the Imamate! I am your^-asws friend and your^-asws visitor, the one drawing closer to Allah^-azwj through your^-asws love! I befriend your^-asws friends and disavow to Allah^-azwj from your^-asws enemies!

وَ أَسْتَشْفِعُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْكُمْ صَلَاةً دَائِمَةً كَثِيرَةً مُتَّصِلَةً لَا انْقِطَاعَ لَهَا وَ لَا زَوَالَ

And I seek intercession to Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and I ask Him^-azwj to Send Salawaat upon His^-azwj Prophet Muhammad^-saww! May Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon him^-asws and upon you^-asws, constant Salawaat, many, connected, there neither being any termination for it nor decline!

وَ أَسْأَلُهُ بِكُمْ وَ أُقَدِّمُكُمْ أَمَامَ حَوَائِجِي فَكُونُوا لِي شُفَعَاءَ يَا سَادَتِي فِي فَكَاكِ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ لِي بِكُمْ حَوَائِجِي كُلَّهَا لِلْآخِرَةِ وَ الدُّنْيَا وَ أَنْ يَكْفِيَنِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ شَرَّ كُلِّ ذِي شَرٍّ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ مِنْ صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ

And I ask Him^-azwj through you^-asws, and place you^-asws in front of my needs, so be my intercessors O my chief in liberation of my neck from the Fire and to Fulfil all my needs through you^-asws, for the Hereafter and the world, and to Suffice me and my family, and my children, and the believing men and the believing women, evil of every one with evil, from the Jinn and the humans, from small or big!

فَقَدْ رَجَوْتُ أَنْ لَا أَنْصَرِفَ مِنْ مَشْهَدِكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا بِقَضَاءِ حَوَائِجِي وَ مَا فَزِعْتُ إِلَيْكَ فِيهِ وَ رَجَوْتُهُ مِنْ حُسْنِ مَعُونَتِهِ وَ بَرَكَتِهِ بِزِيَارَتِكَ‏ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ آبَائِكَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

I have hoped that I will not have to leave from Your^-azwj Mausoleum, O my master, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon you^-asws, except with fulfilment of my needs, and what I have panicked to you^-asws for, and hoped of its excellent provision, and its Blessings by visiting you^-asws! May the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon you^-asws, and upon the Imams^-asws from your^-asws fathers^-asws, the Imams^-asws from your^-asws sons^-asws, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’

ثُمَّ قَبِّلِ الضَّرِيحَ وَ قُلِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ يَا آلَ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْصَارَهُ وَ ظِلَالَ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْوَارَهُ لَأَبْذُلَنَّ لَكُمْ مَوَدَّتِي وَ مُهْجَتِي وَ مُوَاسَاتِي وَ مَالِي فَإِنَّهَا لَكُمْ مَذْخُورَةٌ وَ نُصْرَتِي لَكُمْ مُعَدَّةٌ حَتَّى يَأْذَنَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ

Then kiss the Shrine and say, ‘The greeting be upon you^-asws, O Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, O people of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj helpers, and shades of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj radiances! I have expended for you^-asws my cordiality, and my love, and my consoling, and my wealth, for it is stored for you^-asws, and my help for you^-asws is prepared until Allah^-azwj Permits for you^-asws!

فَإِنْ أَمَرْتُمُونِي يَا مَوَالِيَّ أَطَعْتُ وَ إِنْ نَهَيْتُمُونِي يَا سَادَتِي كَفَفْتُ وَ إِنِ اسْتَنْصَرْتُمُونِي يَا قَادَتِي نَصَرْتُ وَ إِنِ اسْتَعَنْتُمُونِي يَا سَادَتِي أَعَنْتُ وَ إِنِ اسْتَنْجَدْتُمُونِي يَا هُدَاتِي أَنْجَدْتُ وَ إِنِ اسْتَعْبَدْتُمُونِي يَا وُلَاتِي تَعَبَّدْتُ

If you^-asws were to instructed me, O my masters, I shall obey, and if you^-asws were for forbid me, O my chiefs, I shall refrain, and if you^-asws were to seek my help, O my leaders, I shall help, and if you^-asws were to seek my assistance, O my chief, I shall assist, and if you^-asws were to seek my efforts, O my guides, I shall make efforts, and if you^-asws were to seek my service, O my masters, I shall serve!

فَلَكُمْ يَا أَئِمَّتِي عُبُودِيَّتِي بَعْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى طَوْعاً سَرْمَداً وَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَلَامِي وَ تَحِيَّاتِي سَلَاماً مُجَدَّداً وَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

For you^-asws, O my Imams^-asws, is my servitude after Allah^-azwj the Exalted, willingly, continuously, and upon you^-asws is my greeting and my salutation, renewed, and may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon you^-asws and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’

فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ الْوَدَاعَ فَقُلْ قَدْ قَضَيْتُ يَا مَوْلَايَ بَعْضَ الْأَرَبِ مِنْ زِيَارَتِكَ وَ لَوْ فَعَلْتُ يَا مَوْلَايَ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَيَّ لَجَعَلْتُ عَرْصَتَكَ دَارَ إِقَامَةٍ وَ لَكِنَّنِي مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الدُّنْيَا أَكْدَحُ فِيهَا كَمَا جَرَتْ عَادَةُ مَنْ مَضَى

When you intend to bid the farewell, say, ‘I have fulfilled, O my master, part of the desire of visiting you^-asws, and O my master, if I were to do what is obligated upon me, I would have made your^-asws ground a house of residence, but I am from the sons of the world! I toil in it just as the norms have flowed from those in the past.

فَأَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْبَارَّ الرَّحِيمَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ زِيَارَتِكُمْ وَ جَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّهُ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏ وَ هُوَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

I ask Allah^-azwj, the Maker, the Merciful, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and not to Make is last of the pacts of visiting you^-asws, and entirety of the Momineen, He^-azwj is most Merciful of the merciful ones, and He^-azwj is Able upon all things!’

ثُمَّ ادْعُ اللَّهَ كَثِيراً بِمَا أَرَدْتَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.

Then supplicate to Allah^-azwj a lot with whatever you want, if Allah^-azwj the Exalted so Desires!’’[40]

CHAPTER 58 – ANOTHER REGARDING THEIR^-asws ZIYARAT, THE GREETING BE UPON THEM^-asws, DURING DAYS OF THE WEEK, AND THE SALAWAAT, AND THE GREETING BE UPON THEM, IN DETAIL

1- تم، فلاح السائل‏ بِالْإِسْنَادِ إِلَى الصَّدُوقِ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْمَوْصِلِيِّ عَنِ الصَّقْرِ بْنِ أَبِي دُلَفَ قَالَ: لَمَّا حَمَلَ الْمُتَوَكِّلُ سَيِّدَنَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ جِئْتُ أَسْأَلُ عَنْ خَبَرِهِ

(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’, by the chain to Al Sadouq, from Ibn Al Mutawakkil, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Abdul Rahman Bin Ahmad Al Mawsaly, from Al Saqr Bin Abu Dulaf who said,

‘When Al-Mutawakkil had carried our chief Abu Al-Hassan^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-asws (to prison), I came to ask about his^-asws news’.

قَالَ فَنَظَرَ الزَّرَّافِيُّ إِلَيَّ وَ كَانَ حَاجِباً لِلْمُتَوَكِّلِ فَأَمَرَ أَنْ أُدْخَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَأُدْخِلْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا صَقْرُ مَا شَأْنُكَ

He (the narrator) said, ‘Al Zarrafy looked at me, and he was a guard of Al Mutawakkil. He instructed that I enter to see him, so I entered to see him. He said, ‘O Saqr, what is your concern?’

فَقُلْتُ خَيْرٌ أَيُّهَا الْأُسْتَادُ

I said, ‘Good, O teacher!’

فَقَالَ اقْعُدْ

He said, ‘Be seated!’

قَالَ فَأَخَذَنِي مَا تَقَدَّمَ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ وَ قُلْتُ أَخْطَأْتُ فِي الْمَجِي‏ءِ

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then it seized me what had preceded and what was to happen, and I said (to myself), ‘I have made a mistake in coming!’

قَالَ فَزَجَرَ النَّاسَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي شَأْنَكَ وَ فِيمَ جِئْتَ

He (the narrator) said, ‘He drove the people away from him, then said to me, ‘What is your concern, and regarding what have you come?’

قُلْتُ لِخَيْرٍ مَّا

I said, ‘For something good!’

قَالَ لَعَلَّكَ جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُ عَنْ خَبَرِ مَوْلَاكَ

He said, ‘Perhaps you have come to ask about the news of your master’.

فَقُلْتُ لَهُ وَ مَنْ مَوْلَايَ مَوْلَايَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

I said to him, ‘And who is my master? My master is commander of the faithful!’

قَالَ اسْكُتْ مَوْلَاكَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ لَا تَحْتَشِمْنِي فَإِنِّي عَلَى مَذْهَبِكَ

He said, ‘Be quiet! Your master, he is the truth! Do not try to respect me, for I am upon your doctrine’.

فَقُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ

I said, ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj!’

فَقَالَ أَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرَاهُ

He said, ‘Would you like to see him^-asws?’

قُلْتُ نَعَمْ

I said, ‘Yes’.

قَالَ اجْلِسْ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ صَاحِبُ الْبَرِيدِ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ

He said, ‘Remain seated until the postman comes out from his^-asws presence!’

قَالَ اجْلِسْ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ صَاحِبُ الْبَرِيدِ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ قَالَ فَجَلَسْتُ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَ لِغُلَامٍ لَهُ خُذْ بِيَدِ الصَّقْرِ وَ أَدْخِلْهُ إِلَى الْحُجْرَةِ وَ أَوْمَى إِلَى بَيْتٍ

He (the narrator) said, ‘I remained seated. When he came out, he said to a slave of his, ‘Hold a hand of Saqr and enter him into the chamber, and he gestured to a house.

فَدَخَلْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عَلَى صَدْرِ حَصِيرٍ وَ بِحِذَائِهِ قَبْرٌ مَحْفُورٌ

I entered, and there he^-asws was, seated upon the middle of a straw mat and in front of him^-asws was a dug-out grave.

قَالَ فَسَلَّمْتُ فَرَدَّ ثُمَّ أَمَرَنِي بِالْجُلُوسِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي يَا صَقْرُ فَمَا أَتَى بِكَ

He (the narrator) said, ‘I greeted. He^-asws responded, then instructed me to be seated, then said to me: ‘O Saqr! What have you come for?’

قُلْتُ‏ جِئْتُ أَتَعَرَّفُ خَبَرَكَ

I said, ‘I have come to know your^-asws news!’

قَالَ ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ فَبَكَيْتُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ يَا صَقْرُ لَا عَلَيْكَ لَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْنَا بِسُوءٍ

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then I looked at the grave, so I wept. He^-asws looked at me. He^-asws said: ‘O Saqr! No (worries should be) upon you. They will never arrive to us^-asws with evil’.

فَقُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ

I said, ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj!

ثُمَّ قُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي حَدِيثٌ يُرْوَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص لَا أَعْرِفُ مَعْنَاهُ

Then I said, ‘O my chief! There is a Hadeeth being reported from the Prophet^-saww, I don’t know its meaning!’

قَالَ وَ مَا هُوَ

He^-asws said: ‘And what is it?’

قُلْتُ قَوْلُهُ لَا تُعَادُوا الْأَيَّامَ فَتُعَادِيَكُمْ مَا مَعْنَاهُ

I said, ‘His^-saww words: ‘Do not be inimical to the days, for these will be inimical to you’, what is its meaning?’

فَقَالَ نَعَمْ الْأَيَّامُ نَحْنُ مَا قَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ فَالسَّبْتُ اسْمُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ الْأَحَدُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْإِثْنَيْنُ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع وَ الثَّلَاثَاءُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الْأَرْبِعَاءُ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُوسَى وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَ أَنَا وَ الْخَمِيسُ ابْنِي الْحَسَنُ وَ الْجُمُعَةُ ابْنُ ابْنِي وَ إِلَيْهِ تُجْمَعُ عَصَائِبُ الْحَقِّ

He^-asws said: ‘Yes! The ‘days’ are us^-asws, for as long as the skies and the earth stand. The Saturday is a name of Rasool-Allah^-saww, and the Sunday is Amir Al-Momineen^-asws, and the Monday is Al-Hassan^-asws and Al-Husayn^-asws, and the Tuesday is Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws and Muhammad^-asws Bin Ali^-asws and Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws, and the Wednesday is Musa^-asws Bin Ja’far^-asws and Ali^-asws Bin Musa^-asws and Muhammad^-asws Bin Ali^-asws, and I^-asws, and the Thursday is my^-asws son^-asws Al-Hassan^-asws, and the Friday is son^-ajfj of my^-asws son^-asws, and to him^-ajfj will gather the groups of truth!

فَهَذَا مَعْنَى الْأَيَّامِ فَلَا تُعَادُوهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَيُعَادُوكُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ

So, this is the meaning of ‘the days’. Do not be inimical to them^-asws in the world for they^-asws will be inimical to you in the Hereafter!’

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَدِّعْ وَ اخْرُجْ فَلَا آمَنُ عَلَيْكَ.

Then he^-asws said: ‘Bid farewell and go out, for there is no safety upon you!’’[41]
