I bear witness that you established the prayers,
And you gave the zak¡t,
And you enjoined the right,
And you forbade the wrong,
And you were deprived of your parents,
And you strove against your enemies.
And I bear witness that you can now hear the speech,
And you can answer back,
And you are verily the beloved of Allah and His intimate friend and selected servant
And His elite and the son of His elite.
O my master and the son of my master:
I am visiting you, because of my eagerness to you,
So, (please) my master: be my interceder before Allah,
And I also seek the intercession of your grandfather, the Master of the Prophets, before Allah,
And I seek the intercession of your father, the Master of the Prophets’ Successors,
And I seek the intercession of your mother, the Doyenne of the women of the worlds.
Verily, may Allah curse those who slew you
And may Allah curse those who wronged you
And may Allah curse those who deprived you (of your right) and those who hated you from the past and the coming generations.
May Allah send blessings upon our master, Mu¦ammad, and upon his Household—the immaculate and pure.
You may then kiss the holy tomb and direct towards the tomb of `Al¢ ibn al-°usayn (a.s) in order to visit him. You may say the following there:
Peace be upon you; O my master and the son of my master.
May Allah curse those who slew you.
And may Allah curse those who wronged you.
Verily, I seek nearness to Allah through my visiting you and showing my love for you (all).
And I release myself before Allah from your enemies.
Peace and Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you, O my master.
You may then walk to the tombs of the martyrs—pleasure of Allah be upon them—and stop there and say the following:
Peace be upon the souls that are residing near the tomb of Ab£-`Abdull¡h al-°usayn.Peace be upon you (all); O the purified from filth.
Peace be upon you (all); O the well-guided ones.
Peace be upon you (all); O the pious ones to Allah.
Peace be upon you and upon the angels surrounding all your graves.
May Allah gather us with you in the center of His mercy,
And under His Throne. Verily, He is the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.
Peace and Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you.
You may then walk to the holy mausoleum of al-`Abb¡s, son of Am¢r al-Mu'min¢n, peace be upon both of them. When you reach there, you may stop at the gate of the dome and say the following:
May the Peace of Allah and the Peace of His close angels, sent prophets, virtuous servants and all the witnesses and saints and may the pure and pleasant prayers which come and go be upon you, O son of Ameer Almo'mineen. I testify that you have yielded, believed and had been loyal to the descendant of the Prophet, Allah's prayers be upon him and his household, the messenger, chosen grandson, guiding scholar, informing custodian and the oppressed and persecuted one; hence, may Allah, His prophet, Ameer Almo'mineen, Al-Hasan and Al-Hussein (pbut) grant you the best rewards for enduring, yielding and advocating. What a great fate you have in the Hereafter! May Allah damn who killed you, damn who didn't know your right and undervalued your sanctity and damn those who prevented you from reaching the Fourat. I testify that you have been oppressively killed and that Allah will undertake what he has promised you. I came to you, O son of Ameer Almo'mineen, seeking haven and having a heart that yields and follows you. I am your follower and I am prepared to advocate you, until Allah sets His order, for He is the Greatest Ruler. I am indeed with you and not with your enemy. I believe in you, in your return and I believe that whoever opposed and killed you is a disbeliever. May Allah kill a nation that killed you by their hands and tongues.
You may then enter, throw yourself on the tomb, and say:
Peace be upon you; the righteous servant (of Allah),
the obedient to Allah, His Messenger, Am¢r al-Mu'min¢n,
al-°asan, and al-°usayn, peace and greetings of Allah be upon them.
Peace, Allah’s mercy, blessings,
forgiveness, and gratifications be upon you, your soul, and your body.
I testify, and call Allah to witness, that you abided by the same course that was taken by the warriors of (the battle of) Badr
and the strivers for Allah’s sake
who faithfully served Him in the battlefields against His enemies,
did their bests for supporting His disciples,
and defended His intimate ones.
So, Allah may reward you the best,
the maximum,
the most abundant,
and the most conclusive reward that He may give to anyone who fulfills his homage,
answers the call (of the religion),
and obeys his (divinely elected) leaders.
I testify that you served (the Lord) extremely sincerely
and exerted all your efforts (in this regard).
Allah may attach you to the martyrs,
add your soul to the souls of the happy ones,
give you the largest abode in His Paradise
and the most handsome room,
exalt your mention in `Illiyy¢n (the most elevated position),
join you to the Prophets, the veracious (ones)
The martyrs, and the righteous (ones).
Very excellent is the companionship of such ones.
I testify that you did not lag behind and did not turn away the face,
and that you left this life with full awareness of the truth,
following the examples of the righteous ones
and sticking to the Prophets.
So, Allah may gather us with you,
His Messenger, and His disciples
in the abodes of those who practiced humbly (with their Lord).
He is certainly the most Merciful of all the merciful ones.
Peace be upon you (all); O the Household of Allah.
Peace be upon you (all); O the elite of Allah.
Peace be upon you (all); O the best of Allah’s creatures.
Peace be upon you (all); O the masters of all masters.
Peace be upon you (all); O the lions of jungles.
Peace be upon you (all); O the arks of redemption.
Peace be upon you; O Ab£-`Abdull¡h al-°usayn.
