La Ziyārah de Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali (que la paix soit sur lui) et Comment Elle Devrait Être Accomplie

2. My father, ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain, and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan all narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Qāsim ibn Yaḥyā, from Ḥasan ibn Rāshid, from Ḥusain ibn Thuwayr ibn Abī Fākhitah, who said: Yūnus ibn Żabyān, Mufaďďal ibn ‘Umar, Abū Salamah Al-Sarrāj, and I were sitting with Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)). Yūnus was the eldest among us and he spoke (to the Imam (a.s.)) on our behalf. Yūnus asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! What should I say when I attend the gatherings of these people – referring to Banī Abbās?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “When you attend their gatherings, extol us and then say, ‘O Allāh! Grant us ease and pleasure.’ Verily if you do this, you will see that which you want.” I (Ḥusain ibn Thuwayr) asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! I remember Ḥusain (a.s.) increasingly. What should I say (when I remember him)?” Imam (a.s.) replied: You should repeat three times, “Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh.” Verily Salām reaches Ḥusain (a.s.) from near and far. Verily when Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain (a.s.)) died, the seven heavens, the seven earths, everything within them, everything between them, everyone who moves in Paradise and in Hell from among the creation of our Lord, and everything which can be seen and everything which cannot be seen, cried over Abī ‘Abdillāh except for three things. I asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! What are those three things?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Basra, Damascus, and the family of ‘Uthmān.” I asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! I want to go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.). How should I perform the Ziyārah and what should I recite?” Imam (a.s.) said: When you go to (the Ziyārah of) Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain (a.s.)), perform a Ghusl on the shores of the Euphrates (River) and wear your most purified clothes. Then walk barefoot (toward the grave) because you are (walking) in one of the Ḥarams of Allāh and His Messenger (s.a.a.w.). You should increasingly recite Takbīr and TAHLǏL and increasingly glorify and sanctify Allāh. Send blessings on Muḥammad (s.a.a.w.) and his family until you arrive at the door of the Ḥā`ir. Then recite (the following): Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof and son of His Decisive Proof. Salām to you, O Allāh’s angels who are the Zuwwār of the grave of the son of Allāh’s Prophet (s.a.a.w.). Then take ten steps, stop, and say “Allāhu Akbar” thirty times. Then walk toward the grave from the direction of the face. Stand (next to the grave) with your face toward his face and your back toward Qiblah and recite (the following): Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof and the son of His Decisive Proof. Salam to you, O Allāh’s slain one and the son of His slain one. Salām to you, O one whose avenger is Allāh and the son of the one whose avenger is Allāh. Salām to you, O Allāh’s unavenged one in the heavens and the earth whose revenge is yet to be taken by Allāh. I testify that your blood has dwelled in the Eternal Paradise, the carriers of the Throne shivered because of it, and all of creation has wept over it. (I testify that) the seven heavens, the seven earths, that which is on them and that which is between them, and all of the creation of our Lord who move in Paradise and in Hell, from among that which can be seen and that which cannot be seen, cried over it (your blood). I testify that you are Allāh’s Decisive Proof and the son of His Decisive Proof. I testify that you are Allāh’s slain one and the son of His slain one. I testify that Allāh is your avenger and the avenger of your father on earth. I testify that you are Allāh’s unavenged one in the heavens and the earth whose revenge is yet to be taken by Allāh. I testify that you advised the people and announced (the message of Allāh). You were devoted and faithful to Allāh and you fought in the way of your Lord. I testify that you died with insight, the same way that you lived – as a martyr who desired martyrdom and as the witness (over Allāh’s creation) who was witnessed (by Allāh). I am Allāh’s slave and your servant who is at your service. I have come to you as a guest to beg (you) for the perfection of my position with Allāh and to keep my foot steady in following your path, and to beg for the path which does not prevent those who follow it from receiving a guarantee from you – the guarantee which Allāh has ordered you to give (to your followers). Those who seek Allāh, start with you. Those who seek Allāh, start with you. Those who seek Allāh, start with you. Allāh unfolds the lies through you and He keeps the times of affliction away (from us) through you. Allāh started (His creation) with you and He shall end (it) with you. And Allāh cancels or confirms that which He pleases through you. Allāh removes the disgrace from us through you and He shall avenge the unavenged blood of the believers through you. The trees in the earth grow through you and they become fruitful through you. And the skies rain and send down sustenance through you. Allāh removes the anguish (from the believers) through you and He showers down the rain (of mercy) through you. The earth which carries your bodies sanctifies Allāh through you. And it is through you that the mountains are firmly fixed in the land. The Will of Allāh with regards to His destined affairs descends to you and is issued (to the creation) from your houses. Similarly the true and detailed rulings, which govern Allāh’s slaves, are issued from your houses. Cursed are those who killed you, those who opposed you, those who denied your divine authority, those who supported one another against you, and those who were present but were not martyred with you. Praise be to Allāh who made Hell their final destination. What a terrible abode Hell is and what an evil dwelling their dwelling is! Praise be to Allāh, the Lord of the Worlds. Then repeat each of the following statements three times: May Allāh’s blessing be upon you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from those who opposed you. Then move toward (the grave of) his son, ‘Ali (a.s.), who is located next to the feet of Ḥusain (a.s.) and recite (the following): Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O son of the Commander of the Believers. Salām to you, O son of Ḥasan and Ḥusain. Salām to you, O son of Khadījah, the Great, and O son of Fāťimah Al-Zahrā. Then repeat each of the following statements three times: May Allāh’s blessing be upon you. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from them. Then stand up and point with your hand toward the Martyrs, repeating each of the following statements three times: Salām to you. I swear to Allāh that you have achieved victory. Then recite (the following): I wish I was among you so that I could have achieved a great victory. Then go around the grave and stand behind the grave of Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain (a.s.)) and establish six Rak’ah of prayers while facing the grave. By doing (all of) this, your Ziyārah is complete. You can choose to stay there or leave if you want.

Mon père m'a informé, ainsi qu'Ali ibn al-Husayn et Muhammad ibn al-Hasan - que Dieu leur fasse miséricorde tous - de Sa'd ibn Abdallah, d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, de al-Qasim ibn Yahya, de al-Hasan ibn Rashid, de al-Husayn ibn Thuwayr ibn Abi Fakhtah, qui a dit: "J'étais assis avec Younus ibn Dhabyan, al-Mufaddal ibn Umar et Abu Salama al-Sarraj chez Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui). Younus était celui qui parlait, étant le plus âgé parmi nous en âge. Il lui dit: 'Puisses-tu être sacrifié pour toi! Je suis présent dans les assemblées de ces gens, c'est-à-dire les enfants de Sa b Abi Waqqas. Que dois-je dire?' Il répondit: 'Quand tu es avec eux et que tu nous mentionnes, dis: "Ô Allah, montre-nous le bonheur et la joie, car Tu as pouvoir sur toute chose." J'ai dit: 'Puisses-tu être sacrifié pour toi! Je mentionne souvent al-Husayn. Que devrais-je dire?' Il dit: 'Dis: "Que la paix soit sur toi, ô Abu Abdullah", répète cela trois fois, car le salut lui parvient de près et de loin.' Puis il ajouta: 'Quand Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui) passa, les sept cieux, les sept terres et tout ce qu'ils contiennent, ainsi que tous ceux qui se déplacent dans le Paradis et l'Enfer parmi la création de notre Seigneur, visible et invisible, pleurèrent pour lui, sauf trois choses pour lesquelles il ne pleura pas.' J'ai demandé: 'Puisses-tu être sacrifié pour toi! Quelles sont ces trois choses?' Il répondit: 'Il ne pleura pas pour la cécité, ni pour Damas, ni pour la famille d'Uthman.' J'ai dit: 'Puisses-tu être sacrifié pour toi! Je veux lui rendre visite. Que devrais-je dire et faire?' Il dit: 'Quand tu viens voir Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui), baigne-toi sur la rive de l'Euphrate, puis mets tes vêtements propres, marche pieds nus, car tu es dans un sanctuaire parmi les sanctuaires d'Allah et du Messager d'Allah. Tu dois beaucoup glorifier Allah, et prier sur Muhammad et sa famille, jusqu'à ce que tu atteignes la porte de l'Imam Husayn. Ensuite, dis: "Que la paix soit sur toi, ô preuve d'Allah, fils de Sa preuve." Que la paix soit sur vous, ô anges d'Allah et visiteurs de la tombe du fils du Prophète d'Allah." Ensuite, trace dix lignes et fais le takbir, puis arrête-toi et fais trente takbirs. Ensuite, avance vers lui en direction de son visage, fais face à son visage avec le tien, place la qibla entre tes épaules, puis dis: "Que la paix soit sur toi, ô preuve d'Allah, fils de Sa preuve. Que la paix soit sur toi, ô tué par Allah, fils de celui tué par Lui. Que la paix soit sur toi, ô vengeur d'Allah, fils de celui qui s'est vengé. Que la paix soit sur toi, ô unique d'Allah, le vénéré. Je témoigne que ton sang réside dans l'éternité, que les ombres du Trône se dressent pour lui, que toutes les créatures pleurent pour lui, que les sept cieux, les sept terres et tout ce qu'ils contiennent, ainsi que tous ceux qui se déplacent dans le Paradis et l'Enfer parmi la création de notre Seigneur, visible et invisible, témoignent que tu es la preuve d'Allah, fils de Sa preuve, que tu es tué par Allah, fils de celui tué par Lui, que tu es

3. My father and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan both narrated to me from Ḥusain ibn Ḥasan ibn Abān, from Ḥusain ibn Sa’īd, from Faďālah ibn Ayyūb, from Nu’aym ibn Walīd, from Yūsuf Al-Kunāsi, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: When you go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), go to the Euphrates (River) first and perform a Ghusl in the part (of the river) which is opposite to the grave. Then walk toward him calmly and with reverence until you arrive at the Ḥā`ir. Enter from (the door on) the east side and recite (the following) upon entering: Salām upon Allāh’s High-Ranked angels. Salām upon Allāh’s descending angels. Salām upon Allāh’s “angels [who come] in an unbroken succession.” Salām upon Allāh’s “(fully equipped) distinguished angels.” Salām upon Allāh’s angels who reside in this Ḥā`ir with the permission of Allāh. When you face the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), recite (the following): Salām upon the Messenger of Allāh. May Allāh’s blessing be upon Muḥammad, Allāh’s Trustee over His messengers and over His firmly determined affairs, the last of that which has passed and the one who began that which is yet to come, and the absolute master over all of it. Salām to him and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon him. Then recite (the following): Salām upon the Commander of the Believers, Your slave and the brother of Your Messenger, the one whom You chose with Your knowledge and appointed as a guide for whomever You willed from among Your creation, the guide to those with whom You sent Your messages, the undisputed ruler of religion with Your justice, the Decisive Judge between Your creation, and the absolute master over all of it. Salām to him and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon him. O Allāh! Send Your blessing on Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali, Your slave and the son of Your Messenger, the one whom You chose with Your knowledge and appointed as a guide for whomever You willed from among Your creation, the guide to those with whom You sent Your messages, the undisputed ruler of religion with Your justice, the Decisive Judge between Your creation, and the absolute master over all of it. Salām to him and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon him. Then send Salām to Ḥusain (a.s.) and to the rest of the Imams (a.s.) in the same way that you sent Salām and blessings on Ḥasan ibn ’Ali (a.s.). Thereafter, go near the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) and recite (the following): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh! Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. May Allāh’s blessing be upon you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s Mercy be upon you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. I testify that you announced on behalf of Allāh that which He ordered you to and that you did not fear anyone but Allāh. (I testify that) you fought in His way and you worshipped Him truthfully and devoutly until that which is certain (death) came to you. I testify that you (the Imams (a.s.)) are “the word of piety” (48:26), the door of guidance, the strongest handholds, and the Decisive Proofs on those who remain and those who are (buried) under the ground. I testify that you have always had these (positions) and they will remain (apparent) in you. I testify that your souls and your clay are blessed and they blessed and purified one another by the Mercy and the Favour of Allāh. I take Allāh and I take you as witnesses that I believe in you and I am certain about your return. I follow you in that which is related to me and that which is related to the rulings of my religion. I shall follow you in that which is related to the destiny of my deeds, to my return to Allāh, and to my abode. And I ask Allāh, the Kind, the Merciful, to fulfill this for me. I testify that you announced on behalf of Allāh that which He ordered you to and you did not fear anyone but Allāh. (I testify that) you fought in His way and worshipped Him until that which is certain (death) came to you. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who ordered them to do so. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who heard about your killing and were pleased with it. I testify that those who breached your sanctity and spilled your blood are cursed by the tongue of the Prophet of Makkah. Then recite (the following): O Allāh! Curse those who changed Your blessings, went against Your nation, turned away from Your orders, accused Your Messenger, and deviated (people) away from Your Path. O Allāh! Stuff their graves and their stomachs with fire and resurrect them and their followers in Hell while they are blind. O Allāh! Curse them in a way that (causes) every High-Ranked angel, every prophet who was sent as a messenger, and every believer whose heart has been tested with faith (to) curse them. O Allāh! Curse them (at all times), secretly and openly. O Allāh! Curse all of the Jibt(s), Ťāghūt(s), and the pharaohs of this nation. (O Allāh!) Curse the killers of the Commander of the Believers and curse the killers of Ḥasan and Ḥusain and torment them with a chastisement that is so painful that You will never punish anyone else from among (the inhabitants of) the worlds with it. O Allāh! Make us among those whom You support, those who support You, and those whom You favour by using them to support Your religion in this life and in the Hereafter. Then sit next to his head – may Allāh’s blessings be upon him – and recite (the following): May Allāh’s blessing be upon you. I testify that you are Allāh’s Slave and His Trustee, you announced (the message of Allāh) with loyalty, you fulfilled (your duties) faithfully, you were the most truthful one when you were killed, and you died while you were certain in your beliefs. (I testify that) you did not give preference to blindness over guidance and you never moved away from truth toward falsehood. I testify that you established prayers, gave charity, enjoined good, forbade evil, followed the Messenger (s.a.a.w.), recited the Book (Qur’an) the way it should be recited, and called (the people) to the path of your Lord with wisdom and by giving good counsel. May Allāh’s blessing and Salām be upon you increasingly. I testify that you had insight with regards to your Lord. You announced that which you were ordered to and you fulfilled your obligations toward Allāh. You believed in the truth of those (appointed by Allāh) who preceded you without weakness or languor. May Allāh’s blessing and Salām be upon you. May Allāh reward you abundantly on behalf of your nation, O most truthful one. I testify that Jihād (fighting in the way of Allāh) is Jihād only if it is with you, that Ḥaqq is with you and (it leads) to you, that you are the people of Ḥaqq and its source, and that the inheritance of prophethood is with you and with your family (a.s.). I testify that you are regarded as the most truthful one with Allāh and you are His Decisive Proof on His creation. I testify that your call is Ḥaqq, and that any other caller who has been appointed (by the people) is invalid and false. And I testify that Allāh is the Manifesting Ḥaqq. Then move toward his feet and choose some supplications to recite and pray for yourself. Thereafter, move toward the head of ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain (a.s.) and recite (the following): Salām of Allāh, Salām of His High-Ranked Angels, and Salām of His prophets who were sent as messengers be upon you, O my master and the son of my master. May Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon you. May Allāh’s blessing be upon you, your family, and the offspring of your righteous and pious fathers, those from whom Allāh kept away the impurities and whom Allāh purified with a thorough purification. Then go to the graves of the martyrs and say Salām to them by reciting (the following): : Salām to you, O godly men. You have preceded us and you are our leaders and we are your followers and supporters. I testify that you are Allāh’s supporters as Allāh, the Blessed and the Exalted, says in His Book, “And many a prophet has fought with innumerable godly men beside him, while they did not lose heart for anything that befell them in the way of Allāh, nor they weakened, nor they humbled themselves before their enemies” (3:146). Verily you did not lose heart, you were not weakened, and you did not humble yourselves before your enemies until you met Allāh on the Path of Truth while supporting Allāh’s Most Complete Word (Imam Ḥusain (a.s.)). May Allāh’s blessing and His worthy Salām be upon your souls and your bodies. Rejoice in the promise of Allāh which will not fail. “Verily Allāh does not fail His promise” (3:9) and Allāh shall avenge you as He promised you. You are the Masters of the Martyrs in this life and in the Hereafter and you are the foremost, those who migrated, and the supporters. I testify that you fought in the way of Allāh and you were killed while following the traditions of the Messenger of Allāh and the son of the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.). Praise be to Allāh who fulfilled His promise to you and showed you that which you love. Then (bid farewell to Ḥusain (a.s.) and) recite (the following): I have come to you, O love of the Messenger of Allāh and the son of His Messenger (s.a.a.w.), while I believe in you (your status), testify to your rights, am endowed with insight into your merits, am certain about the corruption of those who opposed you, and while I believe in the path of guidance on which you are. May I sacrifice my father, my mother, and myself for you. O Allāh! I send blessing on him (Ḥusain (a.s.)) just as You, Your messengers, and the Commander of the Believers send blessings on him, blessings which are continuous and frequent, blessings which follow one another in an unbroken succession, blessings which do not stop and for which there is no ending nor any limit. (O Allāh! Send these blessings on him) while we are here and continue to send them when we leave and when we come back (to this Ziyārah). Salām to him (Ḥusain (a.s.)) and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon him.

Quand tu viens à la tombe de Husayn (que la paix soit sur lui), va vers l'Euphrate, fais tes ablutions avec l'eau de sa tombe, tourne-toi vers lui, et la tranquillité et la dignité seront sur toi jusqu'à ce que tu entres dans le sanctuaire de son côté est. Dis en entrant : "Paix sur les anges rapprochés d'Allah, paix sur les anges descendus d'Allah, paix sur les anges qui circulent d'Allah, paix sur les anges marqués d'Allah, paix sur les anges qui, par la permission d'Allah, sont établis dans ce sanctuaire. Quand tu fais face à la tombe de Husayn (que la paix soit sur lui), dis : "Paix sur le Messager d'Allah, que la prière d'Allah soit sur Muhammad, le digne de confiance d'Allah parmi Ses messagers et le sceau de Son commandement passé, le commencement de ce qui est venu, le finisseur de ce qui est attendu, le protecteur de tout cela, paix et miséricorde d'Allah soient sur lui. Ensuite, dis : "Paix sur l'Imam des croyants, ton serviteur et le frère de ton Messager que tu as choisi par ta connaissance, et que tu as fait guide pour qui tu veux parmi ta création, et preuve de celui que tu as envoyé avec tes messages, et juge de ta religion par ta justice, et qui distingue entre ta création, et le protecteur de tout cela, paix et miséricorde d'Allah soient sur lui. O Allah, envoie des bénédictions sur Al-Hassan, fils d'Ali, ton serviteur et fils de ton Messager que tu as choisi par ta connaissance..."

4. My father and Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh both narrated to me from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Khālid Al-Ťayālisi, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali (Al-Washā), from his father, from Faďl ibn ‘Uthmān Al-Sāyigh, from Mu’āwiyah ibn ‘Ammār, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)), “What should I recite when I go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)?” Imam (a.s.) replied, recite (the following): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s blessing be upon you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s Mercy be upon you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who participated in spilling your blood and may Allāh’s curse be upon those who heard of your killing and were pleased with it. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from this (being pleased with the killing of Ḥusain (a.s.)).

Que la paix soit sur toi, ô Aba Abdullah. Que la miséricorde d'Allah soit sur toi, ô Aba Abdullah. Que Allah maudisse celui qui t'a tué, que Allah maudisse celui qui a participé à ton meurtre, et que Allah maudisse celui qui en est informé et qui s'en réjouit. Nous appartenons à Allah et à Lui nous retournerons.

5. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Rāzi, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Abī Ḥamzah, from Abī ‘Ali Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdil Karīm, from Mufaďďal ibn ‘Umar, from Jābir Al-Ju’fi, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) asked Mufaďďal, “What is the distance between you and the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)?” He replied, “May I sacrifice my father and mother for you. A little more than a day.” Imam (a.s.) asked, “Do you go to his Ziyārah?” He replied, “Yes.” Imam (a.s.) asked, “Should I not give you glad tidings?! Should I not please you by telling you about some of its rewards?” He replied, “May I sacrifice myself for you! Yes.” Imam (a.s.) said: When a man among you starts preparing and packing for going to his Ziyārah, the inhabitants of the heavens give one another glad tidings about him. As soon as he leaves his house, riding or walking, Allāh dedicates four thousand angels to him who send blessings on him until he arrives at the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.). O Mufaďďal! When you go to the grave of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.), stand at the door (of the Ḥaram) and recite these words, for verily if you do, you will receive an increasing share of Allāh’s Mercy for every word you recite. He asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! What should I recite?” Imam (a.s.) said: Recite (the following): Salām to you, O heir of Ādam, the Chosen Slave of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Nūḥ, the Prophet of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Ibrāhīm, the Friend of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Mūsā, the One Addressed by Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of ‘Ǐsā, the Spirit of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Muḥammad, the Love of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of ‘Ali, the Successor of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Ḥasan, the one with whom Allāh is pleased. Salām to you, O heir of Fāťimah, Daughter of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O Truthful Martyr. Salām to you, O Pure and Pious Successor. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof and the son of His Decisive Proof. Salām upon the souls who dismounted at your vicinity and stayed in your caravan. Salām upon Allāh’s angels who have surrounded you. I testify that you established prayers, gave charity, enjoined good, forbade evil, and worshipped Allāh devoutly until that which is certain (death) came to you. Salām to you and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon you. Then walk toward the grave, for you shall have the reward of those who were ensanguined in their blood in the way of Allāh for every step that you take. Once you have said Salām at the grave, touch it with your hands and recite (the following): Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof in His heavens and earth. Then carry on with establishing prayers, for you shall have the reward of performing one thousand Hajj and ‘Umrah, freeing one thousand slaves, and fighting in the way of Allāh one thousand times with a prophet, who was sent as a messenger, for every Rak’ah of prayer next to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.). When you are leaving the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), a caller will call out something to you. If you could hear it, you would stay next to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) for the rest of your life. The caller calls out, “Bliss for you, O slave (of Allāh)! You have achieved victory and you shall be safe (on the Day of Judgment). Verily your past sins have been forgiven so continue with good deeds.” No one but Allāh Himself takes the soul of one who dies in the night or the day of performing the Ziyārah or even within one year (from the Ziyārah). The angels will accompany those who return from the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) while seeking forgiveness for them and sending blessings on them until they arrive at their homes. Then the angels will say to Allāh, “O Lord! This slave of Yours went to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of the son of Your Prophet (s.a.a.w.) and now he has returned to his home. So where should we go?” They will hear a call from the heavens which says, “O My angels! Stay next to the door of the house of My slave until he dies while sanctifying and glorifying Me, and register these deeds among his good deeds.” So they will remain next to his house, sanctifying and glorifying Allāh and registering it among his (the Zā`ir’s) good deeds until he dies. Then they will attend his funeral, shroud him, perform his Ghusl, and establish prayers on him. Then they will say, “O Our Lord! You dedicated us to the door of the house of Your slave and now he has died. So where should we go?” Allāh will call out to them, “O My angels! Stay next to the grave of My slave until the Day of Judgment while sanctifying and glorifying Me, and register these deeds among his good deeds.” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd ibn Ḥukaym, from Salamah ibn Khaťťāb, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Rāzi Al-Jāmūrāni, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Abī Ḥamzah, from Abī ‘Ali Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdil Karīm, from Mufaďďal ibn ‘Umar, from Jābir Al-Ju’fi, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.).

Ensuite, avance et pour chaque pas que tu fais, tu seras récompensé comme si tu avais été enveloppé dans le sang d'un martyr dans le chemin d'Allah. Lorsque tu salues la tombe, cherche-la de ta main et dis : 'Que la paix soit sur toi, ô preuve d'Allah dans Ses cieux et sur Sa terre.' Puis, va accomplir ta prière, et pour chaque unité de prière que tu accomplis près de lui, tu seras récompensé comme celui qui a effectué mille pèlerinages et mille um

6. Ḥasan ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā narrated to me from his father, from his grandfather Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ibrāhīm ibn Abil Bilād, who said: I asked Abal Ḥasan (Imam Kāżim (a.s.)), “What do you say about the reward for the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)?” Imam (a.s.) asked, “What do you say about it?” I replied, “Some of us believe it is equal to performing a Hajj while others believe it is equal to performing an ‘Umrah.” Imam (a.s.) asked, “What do you recite when you go to his Ziyārah?” I replied: I recite (the following): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. I testify that you established prayers, gave charity, enjoined good, forbade evil, and called (the people) to the path of your Lord with wisdom and by giving good counsel. And I testify that those who spilled your blood and breached your sanctity will be tormented and they are cursed “by [the] tongue of Dāwūd and ‘Ǐsā, son of Maryam. That is because they disobeyed and used to exceed the limits” (5:78).

Abū al-Ḥasan (que la paix soit sur lui) m'a dit: "Comment salues-tu Abā ʿAbd Allāh (que la paix soit sur lui) ?" J'ai dit: "Je dis: Que la paix soit sur toi, ô Abā ʿAbd Allāh, que la paix soit sur toi, ô fils du Messager de Dieu. Je témoigne que tu as accompli la prière, donné l'aumône, ordonné le bien, interdit le mal, appelé à la voie de ton Seigneur avec sagesse et bon conseil. Je témoigne que ceux qui ont versé ton sang et ont violé ta sanctité sont maudits, châtiés, selon la langue de Dāwūd et ʿĪsā ibn Maryam, à cause de leur désobéissance et de leurs excès." Il a dit: "Oui, c'est ainsi."

7. My father narrated to me from Mūsā ibn Ja’far Al-Baghdādi, from someone who narrated to him, from Ibrāhīm ibn Abil Bilād, who said: Abul Ḥasan (Imam Kāżim (a.s.)) asked me, “How do you say Salām to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain (a.s.))?” I replied: I recite (the following): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. I testify that you established prayers, gave charity, enjoined good, forbade evil, and called (the people) to the path of your Lord with wisdom and by giving good counsel. I testify that those who spilled your blood and breached your sanctity will be tormented and they are cursed “by [the] tongue of Dāwūd and ‘Ǐsā, son of Maryam. That is because they disobeyed and used to exceed the limits” (5:78). Imam (a.s.) said, “Yes. This (Ziyārah) is correct.”

"Tu dis près de la tombe de Husayn (que la paix soit sur lui) : 'Paix soit sur toi, ô Aba Abdillah, paix soit sur toi, ô preuve d'Allah sur Sa terre, témoin sur Sa création, paix soit sur toi, ô fils du Messager d'Allah, paix soit sur toi, ô fils d'Ali le bien-aimé, paix soit sur toi, ô fils de Fatima la resplendissante. Je témoigne que tu as établi la prière, donné l'aumône, ordonné le bien, interdit le mal, et lutté dans le chemin d'Allah jusqu'à ce que la certitude te soit venue. Que la paix soit sur toi, vivant ou mort. Ensuite, place ta joue droite sur la tombe et dis : 'Je témoigne que tu es sur une preuve de la part de ton Seigneur. Je viens à toi reconnaissant mes péchés, intercède pour moi auprès de ton Seigneur, ô fils du Messager d'Allah.' Puis mentionne les Imams un par un, disant : 'Je témoigne qu'ils sont les preuves d'Allah.' Enfin, dis : 'Écris pour moi un pacte et un engagement auprès de toi, que je viens renouveler ce pacte, et témoigne pour moi auprès de ton Seigneur, car tu es le témoin.'"

8. Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd narrated to me from Salamah ibn Khaťťāb, from ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad, from some of his companions, from Sulaymān ibn Ḥafs Al-Marwazi, who said: The man (Imam Hādi (a.s.)) said: Recite (the following) next to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof in His land and His witness over His creation. Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O son of ‘Ali, the one with whom Allāh is pleased. Salām to you, O son of Fāťimah Al-Zahrā. I testify that you established prayers, gave charity, enjoined good, forbade evil, and fought in the way of Allāh until that which is certain (death) came to you. May Allāh’s blessing be upon you in your life and after your death. Then place your right cheek on the grave and recite (the following): I testify that you had insight with your Lord. I have come to you admitting to my sins. Therefore, intercede for me with your Lord, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Then mention the Imams (a.s.) one after another (by their names) and say, “I testify that they are Allāh’s Decisive Proofs.” Then recite (the following): Be my witness with your Lord and register a contract for me (which states) that I came to you to renew the covenant. Verily you are the witness. Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd ibn Ḥukaym narrated to me from Salamah ibn Khaťťāb, from Ḥusain ibn Zakariyyā, from Sulaymān ibn Ḥafs Al-Marwazi, who said: The Blessed (Imam Hādi (a.s.)) said: Recite (the following) next to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof in His land and His witness over His creation. Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O son of ‘Ali, the one with whom Allāh is pleased. Salām to you, O son of Fāťimah Al-Zahrā. I testify that you established prayers, gave charity, enjoined good, forbade evil, and fought in the way of Allāh until that which is certain (death) came to you. May Allāh’s blessing be upon you in your life and after your death. Then place your right cheek on the grave and recite (the following): I testify that you had insight with your Lord. I have come to you admitting to my sins so that you intercede for me with your Lord, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Then mention the Imams (a.s.) by their names one after another and say, “I testify that they are Allāh’s Decisive Proofs.” Then recite (the following): Register a contract for me (which states) that I came to you to renew the covenant and be my witness with your Lord. Verily you are the witness.

Quand tu viens voir Husayn (que la paix soit sur lui), dis: Louange à Allah et que la paix soit sur Muhammad le Prophète et sur sa famille, ainsi que la paix et la miséricorde d'Allah. Que la paix soit sur toi, ô Aba Abdullah! Que Allah maudisse celui qui t'a tué, celui qui a participé à ton meurtre, et celui qui en a été informé et l'a approuvé. Nous sommes innocents de cela devant Allah à leur égard trois fois. Mon père m'a rapporté de Sa'd ibn Abdullah, d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad, d'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Najran, de Muhammad ibn Abi Umair, d'Aamir ibn Judha'a, de Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui). Il a dit: Quand tu viens voir al-Ha'ir, dis: Louange à Allah et que la paix soit sur Muhammad et sur sa famille. Que la paix soit sur toi, ô Aba Abdullah! Que Allah maudisse celui qui t'a tué, celui qui a participé à ton meurtre, et celui qui en a été informé et l'a approuvé. Nous sommes innocents de cela devant Allah à leur égard.

9. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad ibn Walīd narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdil Jabbār, from ‘Abdil Raḥmān ibn Abī Najrān, from ‘Āmir ibn Judhā’ah, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Recite (the following) when you go to (the grave of) Ḥusain (a.s.): Praise be to Allāh and may Allāh’s blessing be upon Muḥammad, the Prophet, and his family. Salām to him (the Prophet) and to his family and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon them. Then recite the following statement three times: May Allah’s blessing be upon you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you, those who participated in the spilling of your blood, and those who heard about your killing and were pleased with it. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from them.

Quand tu viens [atteins] à sa tombe, dis : "Que la paix soit sur toi, ô fils du Messager d'Allah, que la paix soit sur toi, ô fils du Commandeur des Croyants, que la paix soit sur toi, ô Abu Abd Allah, que la paix soit sur toi, ô le chef des jeunes habitants du Paradis, et que la miséricorde et les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur toi. Que la paix soit sur toi, ô celui dont le contentement est le contentement du Tout-Miséricordieux, et dont le mécontentement est le mécontentement du Tout-Miséricordieux. Que la paix soit sur toi, ô le dépositaire d'Allah, Sa preuve, la porte d'Allah, l'indicateur vers Allah, l'invitant vers Allah. Je témoigne que tu as permis ce qu'Allah a permis, interdit ce qu'Allah a interdit, établi la prière, donné l'aumône, ordonné le bien, interdit le mal, et appelé au chemin de ton Seigneur - avec sagesse et une belle exhortation. Je témoigne que toi et ceux qui ont été tués avec toi êtes vivants auprès de votre Seigneur, recevant votre subsistance. Et je témoigne que ceux qui t'ont combattu seront jugés par Allah pour leur hostilité envers toi, pour ceux que tu as combattus, pour ceux qui ont conspiré contre toi, pour ceux qui ont rassemblé contre toi, pour ceux qui ont entendu ta voix et n'ont pas répondu [et ne t'ont pas aidé]. Ô que j'aurais aimé être avec vous pour obtenir une grande réussite." Ali ibn al-Husayn m'a informé, d'Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim, de son père, d'Ibn Abi Najran, de Yazid ibn Ishaq, de Hasan ibn Atiyya, d'Abu Abd Allah (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit : "Dis près de la tombe de Husayn (que la paix soit sur lui) : Que désires-tu ?"

10. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad, from ‘Abdil Raḥmān ibn Abī Najrān, from Muḥammad ibn Abī ‘Umayr, from ‘Āmir ibn Judhā’ah, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Recite (the following) when you go to the Ḥā`ir: Praise be to Allāh and may Allāh’s blessing be upon Muḥammad and his family. Salām to him and to his family and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon them. Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you, those who participated in the spilling of your blood, and those who heard about your killing and were pleased with it. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from them.

J'ai dit : "Puissé-je être sacrifié pour vous, apprenez-moi la glorification d'Ali (as) et de Fatima (as)." Il a répondu : "Oui, ô Aba Sa'id, glorifie Ali (as) en disant : Gloire à Celui dont les trésors ne s'épuisent pas, gloire à Celui dont les signes ne disparaissent pas, gloire à Celui dont rien en Sa possession ne périt, gloire à Celui qui n'associe personne à Son jugement, gloire à Celui qui n'a pas de défaillance dans Sa grandeur, gloire à Celui dont la durée n'a pas de fin, gloire à Celui qui n'a pas de divinité en dehors de Lui. Et glorifie Fatima (as) en disant : Gloire à Celui de majesté éclatante et immense, gloire à Celui de puissance élevée et généreuse, gloire à Celui de royaume fier et ancien, gloire à Celui de beauté et de grâce, gloire à Celui qui brille de lumière et de dignité, gloire à Celui qui voit la trace de la fourmi sur la blancheur et entend le vol de l'oiseau dans l'air."

11. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, and from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari, from Aḥmad ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl, from ‘Amr ibn Sa’īd Al-Madā`ini, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from ‘Ammār ibn Mūsā Al-Sābāťi, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: Recite (the following) when you go to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.): Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O son of the Commander of the Believers. Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. Salām to you, O Master of the Youth of Paradise and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon you. Salām to you, O one whose pleasure is derived from the pleasure of Al-Raḥmān (the most Gracious) and whose displeasure is derived from the displeasure of Al-Raḥmān. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Trustee, His Decisive Proof, the door (which opens) to Allāh, the guide to Allāh, and the caller to Allāh. I testify that you deemed lawful that which Allāh has declared lawful and you deemed unlawful that which Allāh has declared unlawful. You established prayers, gave charity, enjoined good, forbade evil, and called (the people) to the path of your Lord with wisdom and by giving good counsel. And I testify that you and those who were killed with you are Martyrs who “are alive with [your] Lord getting sustenance from Him” (3:169). And I testify that your killers are in Hell. I follow the religion of Allāh by dissociating myself from those who fought you, those who killed you, those who accompanied them, those who gathered (an army) against you, and from those who heard your voice (calling for help) but did not answer your call. I wish I had been with you so that I would have achieved the great victory.

Lorsque tu viens à la tombe de Husayn (as), dis : "Que la paix soit sur toi, ô fils du Messager d'Allah, que la paix soit sur toi, ô Abu 'Abdillah (as). Que la malédiction d'Allah soit sur celui qui t'a tué, et que la malédiction d'Allah soit sur celui qui lui a fait parvenir cela. Nous sommes innocents d'eux et nous retournons à Allah."

12. ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain narrated to me from ‘Ali ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Hāshim, from his father, from Ibn Abī Najrān, from Yazīd ibn Isḥāq, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Aťiyyah, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: You can recite that which you wish next to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.).

12. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad ibn 'Amir a rapporté de Ahmad ibn Ishaq ibn Sa'd, qui a dit: Sa'dan ibn Muslim, le chef d'Abi Basir, nous a informés, en disant: Certains de nos compagnons ont rapporté d'Abu Abdillah (paix soit sur lui) qu'il a dit: "Lorsque tu viens à la tombe, commence par louer Allah, exalté et glorifié, puis envoie des bénédictions au Prophète (que la paix soit sur lui). Ensuite, tu dis: 'La paix soit sur Allah et la paix soit sur Ses anges, sur ce que tu vas et viens, les vertueuses et pures créatures te saluent et te saluent, et la paix soit sur Allah et la paix soit sur Ses anges les plus proches et les croyants pour toi avec leurs cœurs, ceux qui prononcent ta faveur, et les martyrs, témoignant que tu es véridique, sincère, que tu as dit la vérité et conseillé dans ce que tu as apporté, et que tu es la vengeance d'Allah sur terre, et le sang pour lequel sa vengeance ne peut être réalisée par aucun des habitants de la terre, et que seul Allah le sait. Je viens à toi, ô fils du Messager d'Allah, te rendant visite et me recommandant à Allah à travers toi pour tous mes besoins de ce monde et de l'au-delà, et par toi les suppliants se recommandent à Allah pour leurs besoins, et par toi les adeptes des Écritures trouvent satisfaction de la part des serviteurs d'Allah. Ensuite, marche un peu puis fais face à la tombe - et la qibla entre tes bras - et dis: Louange à Allah, l'Unique, l'Un, le Seul qui mérite d'être adoré dans toutes les affaires, le Créateur de la création, rien ne Lui échappe de leurs affaires, connaissant toutes choses sans enseignement - Il a étendu la terre et tout ce qui est sur elle, ton sang et ta vengeance, ô fils du Messager d'Allah. Je témoigne que tu as de la part d'Allah ce qu'Il t'a promis de victoire et de succès, et que tu as de la part d'Allah la promesse véridique - dans la destruction de tes ennemis et l'accomplissement de Sa promesse envers toi. Je témoigne qu'Il a combattu avec toi de nombreux combattants, comme Allah le Très-Haut a dit: 'Et combien de prophètes ont combattu, avec eux, de nombreux dévots! Ils ne faiblirent pas pour ce qui les atteignit dans le sentier d'Allah, et ils ne faiblirent pas, et ils ne s'humilièrent pas.' Puis, fais sept takbirs, marche un peu et fais face à la tombe, puis dis: 'Louange à Allah qui n'a pas pris de compagne ni d'enfant, et qui n'a pas de partenaire dans le royaume - Il a créé toute chose et l'a déterminée avec précision. Je témoigne que tu as transmis ce qui t'a été ordonné par Allah, et que tu as respecté l'alliance d'Allah, et que Ses paroles se sont accomplies en toi, et que tu as lutté dans Son chemin jusqu'à ce que la certitude te vienne. Que Allah maudisse une communauté qui t'a tué, et une communauté qui t'a abandonné, et que Allah maudisse une communauté qui t'a abandonné. Ô Allah, je témoigne de la Walâya pour ceux que Tu as pris en charge, et de l'innocence de ceux que Tu as innocentés, et de l'innocence de Tes messagers. Ô Allah, maudis ceux qui ont menti à Ton messager, détruit Ta Kaaba, altéré Ton Livre, versé le sang des membres de la famille de Ton Prophète, corrompu Tes serviteurs, et les ont humiliés. Ô Allah, multiplie la malédiction sur eux pour ce qu'ils ont fait selon Ta Sunna dans Ta terre et dans Ton ciel.

13. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl, from Sāliḥ ibn ‘Uqbah, from Abī Sa’īd Al-Madā`ini, who said: I went to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) and asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! Should I go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)?” Imam (a.s.) replied: Yes, O Abā Sa’īd! Go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), the most blessed of the blessed ones, the most purified of the purified ones, and the most pious of the pious ones. O Abā Sa’īd! When you go to his Ziyārah, recite the TASBǏḤ of the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) next to his (Ḥusain’s) head one thousand times and recite the Tasbīḥ of Fāťimah Al-Zahrā (s.a.) next to his feet one thousand times. Then establish two Rak’ah of prayers there. Recite Yāsīn in the first Rak’ah and Al-Raḥmān in the second Rak’ah. Verily if you do this, Allāh will register its (special) rewards for you In-Shā`allāh. I said, “May I sacrifice myself for you! Teach me the Tasbīḥ of ‘Ali and Fāťimah (a.s.).” Imam (a.s.) replied: Yes, O Abā Sa’īd! The Tasbīḥ of ‘Ali (a.s.) is as follows: Sanctified is He whose Treasury is inexhaustible. Sanctified is He whose signs do not perish. Sanctified is He whom that which is with Him will not vanish. Sanctified is He who does not share His ruling with anyone. Sanctified is He whose Glory does not fade away. Sanctified is He whose time does not end. Sanctified is He besides whom there is no god. And the Tasbīḥ of Fāťimah (s.a.) is as follows: Sanctified is the Owner of Majesty, the Exalted, the Great. Sanctified is the Owner of Glory, the High, the Exalted. Sanctified is the Owner of the Kingdom, the Superior, the Everlasting. Sanctified is the Owner of Grace and Beauty. Sanctified is He who is covered with Light and Dignity. Sanctified is He who sees the markings of an ant on flat stones and the perching of the birds (which fly) in the sky.

Celui qui visite la tombe de Husayn (que la paix soit sur lui), Allah lui inscrit une hajj et une umrah, ou une umrah et une hajj. J'ai dit : Que puis-je dire quand je viens à lui ? Il a répondu : Tu dis : "Que la paix soit sur toi, ô Aba Abdallah, que la paix soit sur toi, ô fils du Messager d'Allah, que la paix soit sur toi le jour où tu es né, le jour où tu mourras, et le jour où tu seras ressuscité vivant. Je témoigne que tu es vivant, témoin, nourri par ton Seigneur. Je prends pour allié ton allié, je me désavoue de tes ennemis. Je témoigne que ceux qui t'ont combattu et violé ton sanctuaire sont maudits par la langue du Prophète illettré. Je témoigne que tu as établi la prière, donné l'aumône, ordonné le bien, interdit le mal, et combattu dans la voie de ton Seigneur avec sagesse et bon conseil. Je demande à Allah, à toi comme allié et à nous comme alliés, de faire de notre visite une protection, la prière sur notre Prophète, et le pardon de nos péchés. Intercède pour moi, ô fils du Messager d'Allah, auprès de ton Seigneur."

14. My father and others narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from ‘Abbās ibn Mūsā Al-Warrāq, from Yūnus (ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān), from ‘Āmir ibn Judhā’ah, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: When you go to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), recite (the following): Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you. And may Allāh’s curse be upon those who heard about your killing and were pleased with it. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from them. Ḥusain ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Āmir narrated to me from Aḥmad ibn Isḥāq ibn Sa’d, from Sa’dān ibn Muslim – Abī Basīr’s guide, from some of our companions, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: When you go to the Grave (of Ḥusain (a.s.)), start by praising Allāh, the Great and Almighty, and sending blessing on the Prophet (s.a.a.w.), and strive in doing so. Thereafter, recite (the following): Salām of Allāh be upon you and Salām of His angels be upon you along with the Purified and the Blessed greetings which reach you at all times. Salām of Allāh and Salām of His High-Ranked angels be upon you as well as the Salām of those whose hearts are submissive to you, those who speak of your merits, and those who testify that you are honest and truthful, that you were truthful about that which you invited (the people) to, that you are the one whom Allāh will avenge on earth, and (who testify) that your blood cannot be avenged by anyone from among the inhabitants of the earth and that no one but Allāh shall avenge it. I have come to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh as your guest, beseeching Allāh through you for all of my requests in this life and in the Hereafter. Verily those who beseech Allāh, beseech Him for their requests through you, and those who seek revenge from among Allāh’s slaves will be avenged (by Allāh) through you. Then take a few steps, face the grave with your back toward Qiblah, and recite (the following): Praise be to Allāh, the One, the Only One who runs all of the affairs, the Creator of the creation, who is aware of all of the affairs of His creation, and the One who has the knowledge of everything without learning. O son of the Messenger of Allāh! The earth and everyone on it is responsible for your blood and for avenging you. I testify that Allāh will fulfill His promise of support and victory to you and (I testify) that Allāh will fulfill His true promise to you and complete it by destroying your enemies. : I testify that innumerable godly men fought beside you as Allāh, the Exalted, says, “And many a prophet has fought with innumerable godly men beside him, while they did not lose heart for anything that befell them” (3:146). Then say "Allāhu Akbar" seven times, take a few steps, face the grave, and recite (the following): Praise be to Allāh who has not taken (unto Himself) a wife or a son, neither has He any partner in the kingdom, the One who created everything and determined for it a fixed measure. I testify that you announced (to people) that which Allāh ordered you to (announce) on His behalf, that you fulfilled the covenant of Allāh, and that Allāh’s words are complete with you. (I testify that) you fought in the way of Allāh until that which is certain (death) came to you. May Allāh’s curse be upon the nation who killed you and upon the nation who abandoned you. And may Allāh’s curse be upon the nation who made others abandon you. O Allāh! I testify that I love those whom You and Your messengers love. And I testify that I dissociate myself from those from whom You and Your messengers dissociate yourselves. O Allāh! Curse those who belied Your Messenger, destroyed Your Ka’bah, modified (the meaning of) Your Book, spilled the blood of the family of Your Prophet, and ruined Your slaves and disgraced them. O Allāh! Multiply Your curses on them based on Your traditions in Your lands and Your seas. O Allāh! Curse them in Your heavens and in Your earth. O Allāh! Appoint for me a truthful tongue among Your Divine Authorities and make me love their sites until You unite me with them. (O Allāh!) Make them my leaders and appoint me among their followers in this life and in the Hereafter. Then take a few steps, recite Takbīr seven times, recite Tahlīl seven times, praise Allāh seven times, and sanctify Allāh, the Exalted, seven times. Then answer the call of Ḥusain (a.s.) seven times by saying: I am at your service, O caller to Allāh! Then recite (the following): Even though my body could not answer your call (for help), my heart, my hair, my skin, my volition, and my desire have answered your call and have submitted to the remainder of the Prophet who was sent as a messenger, the chosen grandson, the knowledgeable guide, the entrusted guardian, the successor who announced the message (of Allāh), and the wronged and oppressed one. I have come solely to you, to your son, and to the son of your son, the one who, with the blessing of Ḥaqq, remains after you. My heart has submitted to you. I follow you in my affairs and my support is ready for you until Allāh judges for my religion, and He is the best of judges. And until Allāh resurrects you, I shall be with you and only with you, and not with your enemies. Verily I believe in your return (at the end of time). I do not deny the power of Allāh, I do not belie His Will, and I do not believe that something that Allāh has willed might not take place. Then walk to the grave, stand next to it, and recite (the following): Glory be to Allāh. All of Allāh’s creation glorify Him and sanctify the names of Allāh, the Owner of the Kingdom and the Sovereignty. Glory be to Allāh, the King, the most Holy, our Lord and the Lord of the Angels and the Spirit. O Allāh! Register me among Your guests who have come to the best of Your places and to the best of Your creation. O Allāh! Curse the Jibt and the Ťāghūt. Then raise your hands and spread your arms on the grave and recite (the following): I testify that you are purity and you are pure, and you are (the son) of purity and the pure one. Verily the lands have been purified through you and the land in which you are (buried) is purified (through you). You are Allāh’s unavenged one on earth until He takes your revenge from all of His creation. Then place both your cheeks and hands on the grave. Thereafter, sit next to his head and extol Allāh however you wish. Beseech Him and ask for your needs. Then (go next to his feet and) place your hands and your cheeks next to his feet and recite (the following): May Allāh’s blessing be upon you, upon your soul and your body. Verily you said the truth and you stayed patient. You are the truthful one whose truthfulness is authenticated (by Allāh). May Allāh kill those who killed you with their hands and their tongues. Then go to the grave of his sons and praise them however you wish. Then ask your Lord for your needs and for that which you want. Then face the graves of the martyrs and recite (the following) while standing: Salām to you, O godly men. You have preceded us and you are our leaders while we are the followers and the supporters. Rejoice in the promise of Allāh which will not fail. Verily Allāh shall avenge you (as He promised you). You are the Masters of the Martyrs in this life and in the Hereafter. Then stand behind the grave and establish prayers as much as you want. Imam (a.s.) added: Every time you go to the Ḥā`ir, say Salām and then walk to the grave and place both your hands and your cheeks on the grave. Do the same when you want to leave. Establish the prayers in full form next to his grave as long as you stay (in Karbalā). When you want to leave (the Ḥā`ir), bid farewell to him by saying: Salām of Allāh and Salām of His High-Ranked Angels and His prophets who were sent as messengers and His Righteous Slaves be upon you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh, upon your soul and your body, upon your offspring, and upon those of your friends who come to you. The above Ziyārah has also been narrated to me through the following chain: Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn Sahl, from his father, from his grandfather, from Mūsā ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Āmir, from Aḥmad ibn Hilāl, from Umayyah ibn ‘Ali Al-Qaysi Al-Shāmi, from Sa’dān ibn Muslim, from someone, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.) – with the following addition at the end: And when you want to return (to your home), repeat this entire Ziyārah just like when you first entered the Ḥā`ir. Once you arrive at your home, recite (the following): Praise be to Allāh who kept me safe and kept others safe from me. Praise be to Allāh in all of the affairs and in every state. Praise be to Allāh, the Lord of the Worlds. Then say “Allāhu Akbar” twenty-one consecutive times. Recite them carefully and without haste In-Shā`allāh.

J'ai entendu dire qu'il a dit : "Celui qui visite Husayn (que la paix soit sur lui) à pied, Allah lui inscrira pour chaque pas mille bonnes actions, effacera mille mauvaises actions et lui élèvera de mille degrés. Lorsque tu arrives à l'Euphrate, fais tes ablutions, attache tes sandales, marche pieds nus et avance humblement comme le serviteur humble. Lorsque tu arrives à la porte de Hayr, glorifie Allah quatre fois, prie près de lui et demande ta requête."

15. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Mughīrah, from ‘Abbās ibn ‘Āmir, from Abān, from Abī Nāb Ḥusain (Ḥasan) ibn ‘Aťiyyah Bayyā’ Al-Sāburi, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: Allāh will register performing Hajj and ‘Umrah for those who go to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.). I asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! What should I recite when I go to his Ziyārah?” Imam (a.s.) said, recite (the following): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you on the day you were born, on the day of your death, and on the day on which you will be resurrected. I testify that you are a martyr who is alive, you are with your Lord while you receive sustenance. I love those who love you and I dissociate myself from your enemies. And I testify that those who fought you and breached your sanctity are cursed by the tongue of the Prophet of Makkah. And I testify that you established prayers, gave charity, enjoined good, forbade evil, and fought in the way of your Lord with wisdom and by giving good counsel. I ask Allāh, your Master and our Master, to send blessing on our Prophet and to forgive our sins as our gift for having performed your Ziyārah. O son of the Messenger of Allāh! Intercede on my behalf with your Lord.

J'ai demandé : "Comment saluer Imam Hussein ibn Ali (as) ?" Il a répondu : "Tu dis : 'Que la paix soit sur toi, ô Abu Abdillah, que la paix soit sur toi, ô fils du Messager d'Allah. Que Allah maudisse celui qui t'a tué, que Allah maudisse celui qui t'a aidé, et quiconque apprend cela et l'approuve, nous sommes innocents de lui envers Allah."

16. ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Mughīrah, from ‘Abbās ibn ‘Āmir, from Jābir Al-Makfūf, from Abil Sāmit, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) say: Allāh will register one thousand good deeds and erase one thousand bad deeds for every step taken by those who go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain (a.s.) on foot. He will also increase their rank one thousand times (for every step taken). Imam (a.s.) added: When you arrive at the Euphrates (River), perform Ghusl, carry your shoes, and walk barefoot like a humble slave. Once you arrive at the door of the Ḥā`ir, say "Allāhu Akbar" four times. Then establish prayers next to his grave and ask Allāh for your needs.

Il a dit : "Lorsque tu viens à la tombe de Husayn (paix soit sur lui), dis : Que la paix soit sur toi, ô Aba Abdillah. Que Dieu maudisse celui qui t'a tué, que Dieu maudisse celui qui a participé à verser ton sang, et quiconque approuve cela. Nous sommes innocents de ceux-là devant Dieu. Au nom de Dieu, le Tout Miséricordieux, le Très Miséricordieux."

17. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl, from Safwān ibn Yaḥyā, from Abil Sabbāḥ – or from Abil Sabbāḥ from Abī Basīr, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)), “How should I say Salām to Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.)?” Imam (a.s.) replied, recite (the following): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who helped (your enemies) against you and upon those who heard about your killing and were pleased with it. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from them.

"Lorsque tu souhaites te rendre au tombeau de l'Imam al-Husayn (que la paix soit sur lui), jeûne le mercredi, le jeudi et le vendredi. Lorsque tu es prêt à partir, rassemble ta famille et tes enfants, récite la prière du voyage, fais tes ablutions avant de partir et dis en te lavant : 'Ô Allah, purifie-moi et purifie mon cœur, ouvre ma poitrine et fais que Ta mention, Ta louange et Tes éloges coulent sur ma langue, car il n'y a de force qu'en Toi. J'ai compris que la stabilité de ma religion réside dans la soumission à Ton ordre, le suivi de la tradition de Ton prophète, et le témoignage en faveur de tous Tes prophètes et messagers auprès de toute Ta création. Ô Allah, fais que cela soit pour moi une lumière, une purification, une protection et une guérison contre toute maladie, infirmité, calamité et danger, et contre le mal que je crains et redoute.' Lorsque tu pars, dis : 'Ô Allah, vers Toi je tourne mon visage, à Toi je confie mon affaire, à Toi je soumets mon âme, vers Toi je me réfugie, et en Toi je mets ma confiance. Il n'y a pas de refuge ni de salut sauf vers Toi. Béni et exalté sois-Tu, Ta protection est puissante et Tes louanges sont grandes.' Puis dis : 'Au nom d'Allah, avec Allah, de la part d'Allah, vers Allah, dans le chemin d'Allah, et dans la religion du Messager d'Allah (que la paix et les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur lui). En Allah j'ai mis ma confiance et vers Lui je me tourne, Créateur des sept cieux et des sept terres, Seigneur du Trône immense. Ô Allah, bénis Muhammad et la famille de Muhammad, protège-moi durant mon voyage et remplace-moi auprès de ma famille par le meilleur des remplaçants. Ô Allah, vers Toi je me dirige, vers Toi je pars, vers Toi je suis venu, et pour Ton bien je me suis exposé, et par la visite de l'ami de Ton bien-aimé je me suis rapproché. Ô Allah, ne me prive pas du bien que Tu as auprès de Toi à cause du mal qui est en moi. Ô Allah, pardonne-moi mes péchés, efface mes mauvaises actions, allège mes fautes et accepte mes bonnes actions.' Et dis : 'Ô Allah, fais que je sois dans Ton armure protectrice où Tu places qui Tu veux.' Ô Allah, je me désavoue de la force et de la puissance trois fois, et récite la Fatiha, les deux sourates protectrices, dis : 'Il est Allah, l'Unique', 'Nous l'avons fait descendre', le Verset du Trône, Ya-Sin, et la fin de la sourate al-Hashr. Ne te parfume pas et ne te maquille pas jusqu'à ce que tu atteignes l'Euphrate, parle peu et plaisante peu, multiplie la mention d'Allah, et évite les plaisanteries et les disputes. Si tu es à pied ou à cheval, dis : 'Ô Allah, je cherche refuge auprès de Toi contre les coups du châtiment, les conséquences du malheur, la tentation de l'égarement, et d'être confronté à quelque chose de désagréable. Je cherche refuge auprès de Toi contre l'emprisonnement, la confusion, les murmures de Satan, les mauvaises surprises, et contre tout mal de celui qui a du mal, des démons parmi les djinns et les hommes, de celui qui s'oppose aux amis d'Allah, et qu'ils ne me surpassent ni ne me dominent. Je cherche refuge auprès de Toi contre le mal des yeux des oppresseurs et de tout associé d'Iblis, et de celui qui détourne du bien par la langue et la main. Si tu crains quelque chose, dis : 'Il

18. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl, from Abān ibn ‘Uthmān, from Abī Hammām, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: When you go to the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), recite (the following): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who participated in the spilling of your blood and upon those who heard about your killing and were pleased with it. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from them.

19. Abū ‘Abdil Raḥmān Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥusain Al-‘Askari and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan both narrated to me from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār, from his father ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār, from Muḥammad ibn Abī ‘Umayr, from Muḥammad ibn Marwān, from Abī Ḥamzah Al-Thumāli, who said: Imam Sādiq (a.s.) said: When you want to go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), fast Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. When you want to leave (your house), gather your family and your children and recite the supplication of traveling. Perform a Ghusl before you leave and recite (the following) during the Ghusl: O Allāh! Purify me and purify my heart. Expand my chest and allow my tongue to extol, glorify, and praise You. Verily there is no power except with You. I have surely understood that the foundation of my religion is submitting to Your orders, following the traditions of Your Prophet, and testifying to the truth of all of Your prophets and Your messengers whom You sent to all of Your creation. O Allāh! Make this (Ghusl) a light and a purification (for me) and make it my cure from every illness, disease, plague, and disability, and make it my protection against the evil of that which frightens and alerts me. Then recite (the following) when you are leaving (your house): O Allāh! I have turned my face toward You, entrusted my affairs to You, submitted myself to You, protected my back with You, and I have relied on You. There is no refuge nor shelter except with You. You are Blessed and Exalted. Mighty is Your protection and Exalted is Your praise. Then recite (the following): (I start) in the name of Allāh, by Allāh, from Allāh, to Allāh, and in the way of Allāh as one who is in the nation of the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.). I rely on Allāh and to Him I shall return. He is the Creator of the Seven Heavens and the Seven Earths and the Lord of the Great Throne. O Allāh! Send Your blessing on Muḥammad and the family of Muḥammad. Protect me on my journey and act as my replacement for my family in the best way. O Allāh! I have turned toward You, I am traveling to You, I am coming to You as Your guest, I have exposed myself to Your blessings, and I seek nearness (to You) through the Ziyārah of the love of Your Love. O Allāh! Do not deprive me of the blessings which are with You because of the evil that I have with me. O Allāh! Forgive my sins, pardon my bad deeds, erase my errors, and accept my good deeds. Then recite (the following) three times: O Allāh! Place me in Your protective shield in which You place whomsoever You will. O Allāh! Verily I dissociate myself from any will and power except through You. Then recite Fātiḥatal Kitāb, Mu’awwadhatayn, Qul Huwallāhu Aḥad, Innā Anzalnāh, Āyatal Kursī, Yā Sīn, and the end of the Chapter of Ḥashr: * * * “Had We sent down this Qur’an on a mountain, You would certainly have seen it humbled and rent asunder for fear of Allāh. We propound such similitudes unto mankind that haply they may reflect. He is Allāh, there is no god but He, the knower of the unseen and the seen. He is the beneficent, the merciful. He is Allāh, there is no god but He, the king, the holy, the peaceloving, the bestower of conviction, the guardian, the glorified, the supreme, the great absolute. Far too exalted is Allāh from that which they associate (with Him). He is Allāh, the creator, the maker, the fashioner. His are all the beautiful names. Whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him. He is glorified, all-wise” (59:21-24). Do not use scented oils or kohl until you reach the Euphrates (River), and speak and joke less. Increasingly glorify Allāh, the Exalted, and beware of quarrelling or being cheerful. Recite (the following) when you are walking or riding: O Allāh! I seek refuge with You from the punishments of the dominating powers, from the evil endings, from the afflictions caused by going astray, and from any misfortunes that You may find with me. I seek refuge with You from being imprisoned, from confusion, from the whispers of Shayťān, from terrible misfortunes, from the evil of anyone with evil, from the evil of the demons from among the Jinn and mankind, and from the evil of those who incite animosity against the Walī of Allāh and from their aggression and violence against me. I seek refuge with You from the spies of the oppressors, from the evil of anyone with evil, from the traps of Iblīs, and from those who prevent (the people) from (seeking) blessings with their hands and their tongues. If you were afraid of something, recite (the following): There is no will nor power except with Allāh. I seek refuge and protect myself with Him. O Allāh! Protect me from the evil of Your creation, for verily I am Your slave and (I have sought refuge) with You. When you reach the Euphrates (River), recite (the following) before crossing it: O Allāh! You are the best one to whom men have traveled, and You, O my Master, are the most honourable one to whom one can go and the most honourable one to be visited. You have appointed a present for every Zā`ir and a gift for every guest, and I have come to You as a Zā`ir of the grave of the son of Your Prophet – may Your blessings be upon him. Therefore, make releasing me from Hell Your gift to me. Accept my deed, appreciate my efforts, and have mercy on me for traveling to You, although I do not consider this a favour from me. Rather, the favour is from You to me for making it possible for me to come to his Ziyārah, for allowing me to know his merits, and for protecting me until I arrived at the grave of the son of Your Walī. I have wished for Your Mercy so send Your blessing on Muḥammad and the family of Muḥammad. Do not deprive me of that which I have wished for. I have come to You so do not disappoint me. And make this (Ziyārah) a penance for my past sins and make me among his supporters, O Most Merciful of the merciful ones. Then cross the Euphrates (River) and recite (the following): O Allāh! Send Your blessing on Muḥammad and the family of Muḥammad. Allow my efforts to be appreciated, my sins to be forgiven, and my deeds to be accepted. And cleanse me from mistakes and sins and purify my heart from any disease which destroys my religion and nullifies my deeds, O Most Merciful of the merciful ones. Then enter Naynawā (Karbalā) and settle there. Do not use any scented oils or kohl and do not eat meat as long as you are there. Then come to the shore (of the Euphrates River) in its closest part to the grave (of Ḥusain (a.s.)) and perform a Ghusl while you are covered. Recite (the following) while performing Ghusl: O Allāh! Purify me and purify my heart, expand my chest, and allow my tongue to praise and glorify You and to speak of Your love. Verily there is no will nor power except with You. I have surely understood that the foundation of my religion is submitting to Your orders and testifying that all of Your prophets and Your messengers are united. I testify that they are all Your prophets and messengers who were sent to all of Your creation. O Allāh! Make this (Ghusl) a light and a purification for me and make it my cure from every illness, disease, plague, and disability, and make it my protection against the evil of that which frightens and alerts me. O Allāh! Purify my heart, my organs, my bones, my flesh, my blood, my hair, my skin, my brain, my nerves, and my mass which is carried by earth with this Ghusl. Make it my witness on the day of my poverty and need (the Day of Judgment). Then wear the most purified of your clothes and say “Allāhu Akbar” thirty times. Then recite (the following): Praise be to Allāh whom I sought and He allowed me to reach Him, the One whom I wanted and He accepted me and He did not deprive me, the One whose Mercy I desired and He kept me safe. O Allāh! You are my protective castle and cave, You are my refuge, my hope, and my wish. There is no god but You, O Lord of the Worlds. Recite (the following) when you want to start walking (toward the grave): O Allāh! I want You (Your nearness) so want (that for) me. I have turned my face toward You so do not turn Your face away from me. And if You are dissatisfied with me, accept my repentance and have mercy on me for traveling to the son of Your Love while seeking to please You. Therefore, be pleased with me and do not disappoint me, O Most Merciful of the merciful ones. Then walk barefoot calmly and with reverence while (continuously) reciting Takbīr and Tahlīl, and glorifying, praising, and extolling Allāh and His Messenger (s.a.a.w.). Also recite (the following): Praise be to Allāh, the One, who runs all of the affairs alone. He is the Creator of the creation, and none of their affairs escape Him. He knows everything without being taught. May Allāh’s blessings and the blessings of His High-Ranked angels and all of His prophets, who were sent as messengers, be upon Muḥammad and his family, (who are) the successors. Praise be to Allāh who bestowed His favours upon me by making me understand the merits of Muḥammad and his family (s.a.a.w.). Then walk a short distance taking small steps. Once you arrive at the mound, face the grave, stop, and say “Allāhu Akbar” thirty times. Then recite (the following): There is no god but Allāh, (this is a Tahlīl which is) in His knowledge and in the extent of His knowledge. And there is no god but Allāh, (this is a Tahlīl which is) after His knowledge and in the extent of His knowledge. And there is no god but Allāh, (this is a Tahlīl which is) with His knowledge and in the extent of His knowledge. Praise is due to Allāh, (this is a praise which is) in His knowledge and in the extent of His knowledge. And praise is due to Allāh, (this is a praise which is) after His knowledge and in the extent of His knowledge. And praise is due to Allāh, (this is a praise which is) with His knowledge and in the extent of His knowledge. Sanctified is Allāh, (this is a sanctification which is) in His knowledge and in the extent of His knowledge. And sanctified is Allāh, (this is a sanctification which is) after His knowledge and in the extent of His knowledge. And sanctified is Allāh, (this is a sanctification which is) with His knowledge and in the extent of His knowledge. And praise is due to Allāh with all of His praises and for all of His blessings. There is no god but Allāh and Allāh is the Greatest, and He truly is worthy of that. There is no god but Allāh, the Patient, the Honourable. There is no god but Allāh, the Exalted, the Great. There is no god but Allāh, the light of the seven heavens, the light of the seven earths, and the light of the Great Throne. And praise be to Allāh, the Lord of the Worlds. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof and the son of His Decisive Proof. Salām to you, O Allāh’s angels and the Zuwwār of the grave of the son of Allāh’s Prophet (s.a.a.w.). Then take ten steps, say “Allāhu Akbar” thirty times and recite (the following) while walking: There is no god but Allāh. (This is) a Tahlīl which cannot be counted by anyone other than Allāh and which existed before anyone, which will exist after everyone, which exists with everyone, and which is equal to the number of everyone. Sanctified is Allāh. (This is) a Tasbīḥ which cannot be counted by anyone other than Allāh and which existed before anyone, which will exist after everyone, which exists with everyone, and which is equal to the number of everyone. Sanctified is Allāh, and praise be to Allāh, and there is no god but Allāh, and Allāh is the Greatest before anyone, after everyone, with everyone, and equal to the number of everyone, forever and ever and ever. O Allāh! I take You as witness and You are sufficient as a witness. Therefore, be my witness that: I testify to Your Truth and the truth of Your Messenger, the truth of Your Words, the truth of Your Will, the truth of Your Predestining, the truth of Your Actions, the truth of Your Resurrecting, the truth of Your Hell, and the truth of Your Paradise. I testify that You truly take the life of those who are alive and give life to the dead ones, that You will surely resurrect those who are in the graves, that You will gather the people for a Day about which there is no doubt, and that You do not go against Your promises. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof and son of His Decisive Proof. Salām to you, O Allāh’s angels and O Zuwwār of the grave of Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.). Then walk a short distance, taking small steps calmly and with reverence while (continuously) reciting Takbīr and Tahlīl and while glorifying, praising, and extolling Allāh and His Messenger (s.a.a.w.). Once you arrive at the eastern door, stand at the door and recite (the following): I testify that there is no god but Allāh. He is alone and He has no partners. And I testify that Muḥammad (s.a.a.w.) is His slave and Messenger, that he is Allāh’s Trustee over His creation, and that he is the master of the first and the last and the master of the prophets and messengers. Salām be upon the Messenger of Allāh. Praise be to Allāh who guided us to this and if it was not for Allāh’s guidance, we would not have been guided. Verily the messengers of our Lord came with the truth. O Allāh! I testify that this is the grave of the son of Your Love and Your Chosen One from among Your creation and he has achieved victory with Your Honour. You have honoured him with Your Book, designated him and entrusted him with Your revelation, given him the inheritance of the prophets, and appointed him to be a Decisive Proof from among the Chosen Ones on Your creation. He strived to call the people (toward You). He gave the blood of his heart in Your way to save Your slaves from going astray, from ignorance and blindness, and from doubt and confusion, and to lead them to the door of guidance, away from perishing. Verily You see (everything) but cannot be seen and You are at the Highest place where You observe everything. (He guided the people to You) until some of Your creation, who were allured by this world and who had sold their Hereafter for the lowest and least valuable of prices, rose against him and angered You and Your Messenger by obeying the dissolute ones, the hypocrites, the sinful ones, and those upon whom Hell is made mandatory from among Your slaves. May Allāh’s curse be upon the killers of the son of Your Messenger and may their painful chastisement be multiplied. Then go closer (to the grave) and recite (the following): Salām to you, O heir of Ādam, the Chosen Slave of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Nūḥ, the Prophet of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Ibrāhīm, the Friend of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Mūsā, the One Addressed by Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of ‘Ǐsā, the Spirit of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Muḥammad, the Love of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of the Commander of the Believers, ‘Ali ibn Abī Ťālib, the Successor of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O heir of Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali, the Pious. Salām to you, O heir of Fāťimah Al-Zahrā, Master of the Women of the Worlds and the Most Truthful One. Salām to you, O Most Truthful Martyr. Salām to you, O Pleasant, Pious, and Pure Successor. Salām to you, O Loyal and Righteous One. I testify that you established prayers, gave charity, enjoined good, forbade evil, and worshipped Allāh devoutly until that which is certain (death) came to you. Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon you. Salām to you and to the souls who dismounted at your vicinity and stayed in your caravan. Salām upon Allāh’s angels who have surrounded you. Salām upon Allāh’s angels and the Zuwwār of the grave of the son of Allāh’s Prophet. Then enter the Ḥā`ir and recite (the following) while entering: Salām upon Allāh’s High-Ranked angels. Salām upon Allāh’s descending angels. Salām upon Allāh’s (fully equipped) distinguished angels. Salām upon Allāh’s angels who reside in this Ḥā`ir with the permission of Allāh. Salām upon Allāh’s angels who work in this Ḥā`ir and submit to the orders of Allāh. Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh, son of Allāh’s Trustee, and son of Allāh’s Devoted Slave. Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. Verily we are Allāh’s and to Him we shall return. (s.a.a.w.) How great your tragedy is with your grandfather, the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.)!!! And how great your tragedy is with those who know Allāh, the Great and Almighty?!!! And how great is your tragedy with the exalted assembly (high above) and with Allāh’s prophets and messengers?!!! My Salām and greetings to you while I am greatly anguished over you. You were a light in the lofty backbones, a light in the darkness of the earth, a light in the air, and a light in the exalted heavens where you were a shining light which will not be extinguished. Verily you are the announcer of guidance. Then take a few steps, say “Allāhu Akbar” seven times, recite Tahlīl seven times, praise Allāh seven times, and sanctify Allāh seven times. Then answer the call of Ḥusain (a.s.) seven times by saying: I am at your service, O caller to Allāh!!! Then recite (the following): Even though my body could not answer your call for help and my tongue did not answer you when you asked for support, my heart, my ears, my eyes, my thoughts, and my desires have answered your call and have submitted to the remainder of the Prophet who was sent as a messenger, the chosen grandson, the knowledgeable guide, the entrusted guardian, the one who fulfilled (his duties) and announced the message (of Allāh), and the wronged and oppressed one. O my master! I have come solely to you, to your grandfather, to your father, and to your son who remains after you. My heart has submitted to you (the Imams (a.s.)). I follow you in my views and my support is ready for you until Allāh judges based on His religion and (until He) resurrects you. I take Allāh as witness that you (the Imams (a.s.)) are the Decisive Proofs and that Mercy can be hoped for only through you. I shall be with you and only with you, and not with your enemies. I am among those who believe in you. I do not deny the power of Allāh nor do I belie His Will. Then walk (toward the grave) and take small steps until you face the grave. Turn your back toward Qiblah, turn your face toward his face, and recite (the following): Salām to you from Allāh. And Salām upon Muḥammad, Allāh’s Trustee over His messengers and over His firmly determined affairs, the last of that which has passed and the one who began that which is yet to come, and the absolute master over all of it. And may Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon him. Salām to you and (may) the greetings of Allāh be upon you. O Allāh! Send Your blessing on Muḥammad and the family of Muḥammad, the owner of Your covenant, the last of Your messengers, the master of Your slaves, Your Trustee in Your lands, and the best of Your creation. (O Allāh! Send Your blessing on him) just like he recited Your Book and fought Your enemies until that which is certain (death) came to him. O Allāh! Send Your blessing on the Commander of the Believers, Your slave, the brother of Your Messenger, the one whom You chose with Your knowledge and whom You appointed as a guide for whomever You willed from among Your creation, the guide to those whom You sent with Your messages, the undisputed ruler of religion with Your justice, the Decisive Judge between Your creation, and the absolute master over all of it. Salām to him and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon him. O Allāh! Complete Your words with him, fulfill Your Promise through him, destroy Your enemies through him, and register us among his followers and those who love him. O Allāh! Make us among his Shia, supporters, and helpers based on Your obedience and the obedience of Your Messenger, and (make us among his supporters) in fulfilling that which You entrusted to him and the affairs over which you gave him authority, O Lord of the Worlds. O Allāh! Send Your blessing on Fāťimah, the daughter of Your Prophet, the wife of Your Walī, and the mother of the two grandsons (of the Prophet) – Ḥasan and Ḥusain, and the Pure, the Purified, the Most Truthful, the Righteous one, and the Master of All of the Women of Paradise – blessings which cannot be measured except by You. O Allāh! Send Your blessing on Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali, Your slave, the son of the brother of Your Messenger, the one whom You chose with Your knowledge and whom You appointed as a guide for whomever You willed from among Your creation, the guide to those whom You sent with Your messages, the undisputed ruler of religion with Your justice, the Decisive Judge between Your creation, and the absolute master over all of it. Salām to him and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon him. O Allāh! Send Your blessing on Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali, Your slave, the son of the brother of Your Messenger, the one whom You chose with Your knowledge and whom You appointed as a guide for whomever You willed from among Your creation, the guide to those whom You sent with Your messages, the undisputed ruler of religion with Your justice, the Decisive Judge between Your creation, and the absolute master over all of it. Salām to him and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon him. Then send blessings on (the rest of) the Imams (a.s.) in the same way that you sent blessings on Ḥasan and Ḥusain (a.s.). Thereafter, recite (the following): O Allāh! Complete Your words with them, fulfill Your Promise through them, and destroy all of Your enemies and their enemies, from among the Jinn and mankind, through them. O Allāh! Reward them on our behalf with a reward which is better than any reward that You have ever given to a warner on behalf of his nation. O Allāh! Make us among their Shia, supporters, and helpers based on Your obedience and the obedience of Your Messenger. O Allāh! Make us among those who follow the light which was brought down with them. And make us live the way they lived and die the way they died and allow us to witness their sites in this world and in the Hereafter. O Allāh! You have honoured and dignified me by (allowing me to be in) this position and You have granted that which I longed for based on my genuine belief in You and in Your messengers. Then go closer to the grave and recite (the following): Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. And Salām of Allāh, Salām of His High-Ranked angels, and His prophets who were sent as messengers be upon you along with the Purified greetings which reach you at all times. Salām of those whose hearts believe in you and whose tongues speak of your merits be upon you. I testify that you are truthful and veracious. You were truthful in that which you called (the people) to and you were truthful about that which you brought forth. And verily Allāh will avenge you on earth. O Allāh! Include me among (the followers of) Your Divinely Appointed Authorities. And make me love being martyred like them and witnessing their sites in this life and in the Hereafter. Verily You have power over all things. Then recite (the following): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s Mercy be upon you, O Abā Abdillāh. May Allāh’s blessing be upon you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. Salām to you, O Imam of Guidance. Salām to you, O Flag of Piety. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof on the people of the world. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof and O son of His Decisive Proof. Salām to you, O son of the Prophet of Allāh. Salām to you, O one whose avenger is Allāh and O son of the one whose avenger is Allāh. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Unavenged One and O son of Allāh’s Unavenged One. I testify that you were killed unjustly and that your killer is in Hell. I testify that you fought in the way of Allāh the way (in which) He should be fought for. You were not affected by the censure of any censurer and you worshipped Allāh until that which is certain (death) came to you. I testify that you (the Imams (a.s.)) are the Words of Piety, Doors of Guidance, and the Decisive Proofs on Allāh’s creation. I testify that you have always had these (ranks) and they will remain (apparent) in you. I testify that your souls and your clay are (created) from a purified clay and they purified and blessed one another through Allāh and His Mercy. I take Allāh, the Blessed and the Exalted, as witness and He is sufficient as a witness, and I take you (the Imams (a.s.)) as witnesses that I believe in you and I follow you in my affairs, in the rulings of my religion, in the end (result) of my deeds, and in my destination and abode (in the Hereafter). I ask Allāh, the Kind, the Merciful, to fulfill this for me. I testify that you (the Imams (a.s.)) announced (the message of Allāh) and advised (the people). You remained patient, you were killed, your rights were usurped, and you were ill-treated but you remained patient. May Allāh’s curse be upon the nation who opposed you, upon the nation who denied your Wilāyah, upon the nation who supported one another against you, and upon the nation who witnessed (your martyrdom) but were not martyred (with you). Praise be to Allāh who made Hell their final destination. What a terrible abode Hell is and what a terrible punishment their chastisement is! Then recite (the following): May Allāh’s blessing be upon you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s blessing be upon you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s blessing be upon you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh and upon your soul and body. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who looted you. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who disappointed you. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who followed the orders of killing you, those who ordered (the people) to kill you, and those who participated in the spilling of your blood. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who heard about your killing and were pleased with it or made peace with it. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from following them and I follow Allāh, His Messenger, and the family of His Messenger (s.a.a.w.). I testify that those who breached your sanctity and spilled your blood are cursed by the tongue of the Prophet of Makkah. O Allāh! Curse those who belied Your messengers and spilled the blood of the family of Your Prophet – may Your blessings be upon them. O Allāh! Curse the killers of the Commander of the Believers and multiply the painful chastisement on them. O Allāh! Curse the killers of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali and the killers of the supporters of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali. Burn them with Your blazing fires, make them taste Your Wrath, multiply the painful chastisement on them, and curse them with a severe curse. O Allāh! Make Your Wrath befall them, attack them where they do not expect, seize them while they are unaware, and punish them with an intense chastisement. (O Allāh!) Curse the enemies of Your Prophet and the enemies of the family of Your Prophet with a severe curse. O Allāh! Curse the Jibt and the Ťāghūt and the pharaohs. Verily You have power over all things. Then recite (the following): May I sacrifice my father and mother for you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh! I have traveled to you although my home is far, I have shed tears over you, and my sorrow, my lamentation, my screaming, my sighing, and my sobbing was over you. I came to you and I am using you to hide from my great sins. I have come to you as a Zā`ir and a guest whose back has become heavy (from the weight of his sins). May I sacrifice my father and mother for you, O my Master! I have cried over you, O best of Allāh’s Creation and the son of the best of Allāh’s Creation, and I should be crying over you since the heavens, the earths, the mountains, and the seas have cried over you. Therefore, what can be my excuse for not crying over you while the Love of my Lord (the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.)) and the Imams (a.s.) have cried over you and everyone below Sidratul Muntahā (down) to the earth has cried impatiently over you?!!! Then touch the grave and recite (the following): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh, O Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof and son of His Decisive Proof. I testify that you are Allāh’s Slave and His Trustee. You announced (the message of Allāh) with loyalty and you fulfilled (your duties) faithfully. You said the truth, you were killed as the Most Truthful One, and you died as a martyr with certainty. You did not prefer blindness over guidance, you did not lean toward falsehood and away from Ḥaqq, and you did not answer anyone’s call except Allāh’s alone. I testify that you had insight into your Lord, you announced that which you were ordered to, and you fulfilled your obligations toward Him. You believed in the truth of those (appointed by Allāh) who preceded you without weakness or languor. May Allāh’s blessing and Salām be upon you.
