3210 - إِذَا أَرَدْتَ زِيَارَةَ قَبْرِ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِطُوسَ فَاغْتَسِلْ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِكَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِكَ وَ قُلْ حِينَ تَغْتَسِلُ : اَللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْنِي وَ طَهِّرْ لِي قَلْبِي وَ اِشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَ أَجْرِ عَلَى لِسَانِي مِدْحَتَكَ وَ اَلثَّنَاءَ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِكَ اَللَّهُمَّ اِجْعَلْهُ لِي طَهُوراً وَ شِفَاءً وَ تَقُولُ حِينَ تَخْرُجُ بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ إِلَى اَللَّهِ وَ إِلَى اِبْنِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ «حَسْبِيَ اَللّٰهُ» ... «تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اَللّٰهِ» اَللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ تَوَجَّهْتُ وَ إِلَيْكَ قَصَدْتُ وَ مَا عِنْدَكَ أَرَدْتُ فَإِذَا خَرَجْتَ فَقِفْ عَلَى بَابِ دَارِكَ وَ قُلِ اَللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي وَ عَلَيْكَ خَلَّفْتُ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ مَا خَوَّلْتَنِي وَ بِكَ وَثِقْتُ فَلاَ تُخَيِّبْنِي يَا مَنْ لاَ يُخَيِّبُ مَنْ أَرَادَهُ وَ لاَ يُضَيِّعُ مَنْ حَفِظَهُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اِحْفَظْنِي بِحِفْظِكَ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَضِيعُ مَنْ حَفِظْتَ فَإِذَا وَافَيْتَ سَالِماً فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ قُلْ حِينَ تَغْتَسِلُ اَللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْنِي وَ طَهِّرْ لِي قَلْبِي وَ «اِشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي» وَ أَجْرِ عَلَى لِسَانِي مِدْحَتَكَ وَ مَحَبَّتَكَ وَ اَلثَّنَاءَ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِكَ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ قِوَامَ دِينِيَ اَلتَّسْلِيمُ لِأَمْرِكَ وَ اَلاِتِّبَاعُ لِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ اَلشَّهَادَةُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ اَللَّهُمَّ اِجْعَلْهُ لِي شِفَاءً وَ نُوراً «إِنَّكَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ» وَ اِلْبَسْ أَطْهَرَ ثِيَابِكَ وَ اِمْشِ حَافِياً وَ عَلَيْكَ اَلسَّكِينَةَ وَ اَلْوَقَارَ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ وَ اَلتَّهْلِيلِ وَ اَلتَّمْجِيدِ وَ قَصِّرْ خُطَاكَ وَ قُلْ حِينَ تَدْخُلُ بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ

Hadith.3210 - When you wish to visit the grave of Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (as) in Tus, perform ghusl (ritual purification) as you leave your home and say while washing: "O Allah (swt), purify me, purify my heart for me, expand my chest, and cause Your praise and thanks to flow on my tongue, for there is no power except through You. O Allah (swt), make this cleansing for me a purification, a healing." Then, as you leave, say: "In the name of Allah (swt), with Allah (swt), and to Allah (swt), and towards the son of the Messenger of Allah (swt). 'Allah (swt) is sufficient for me'... 'I place my trust in Allah (swt).' O Allah (swt), to You I have turned, towards You I have intended, and what is with You I have sought." As you stand at the door of your house, say: "O Allah (swt), I have turned my face to You and left my family, my wealth, and all You have granted me in Your care. In You I trust; do not let me return disappointed, O the One who never disappoints those who seek Him and never abandons those He protects. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and protect me with Your care, for the one protected by You is never lost." When you arrive safely at the destination, perform ghusl again and say while washing: "O Allah (swt), purify me, purify my heart for me, expand my chest, and cause Your praise, love, and thanks to flow on my tongue, for there is no power except through You. I know that the foundation of my religion is submission to Your command, following the Sunnah of Your Prophet, and bearing witness over all Your creation. O Allah (swt), make this for me a healing and a light, for surely You are capable of all things." Wear your cleanest clothes, walk barefoot, and maintain a state of tranquility and dignity while frequently uttering takbir (glorifying Allah (swt)), tahlil (proclaiming His Oneness), and tamjid (praising Him). Shorten your steps and say as you enter: "In the name of Allah (swt), with Allah (swt), and upon the religion of the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family." "I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah (swt), alone, without any partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and that Ali is the wali (friend and authority) of Allah (swt). Then proceed until you stand at his grave. Face him directly, aligning his face with yours, and place the Qiblah between your shoulders. Then say: I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah (swt), alone, without any partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, the leader of the first and the last, the master of the Prophets and messengers. O Allah (swt), send blessings upon Muhammad, Your servant, Your Messenger, Your Prophet, and the master of all creation, a blessing that none but You can encompass. O Allah (swt), send blessings upon the Commander of the Faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib, Your servant and the brother of Your Messenger, whom You chose by Your knowledge and made a guide for whomever You willed from Your creation, and a proof for those to whom You sent Your messages. He is the adjudicator of religion with Your justice and the decisive arbiter of Your decree among Your creation, the overseer over all of this. Peace be upon him, and the mercy of Allah (swt) and His blessings. O Allah (swt), send blessings upon Fatimah, the daughter of Your Prophet, the wife of Your wali, the mother of the two grandsons, Hasan (as) and Husayn (as), the leaders of the youth of Paradise. She is pure, purified, righteous, virtuous, content, pleasing, the mistress of all women of Paradise. Send blessings upon her, a blessing that none but You can encompass." "O Allah (swt), send blessings upon Hasan (as) and Husayn (as), the grandsons of Your Prophet and the leaders of the youth of Paradise, who upheld the truth among Your creation, and who were proofs of the messages You sent. They judged the religion with Your justice and decisively arbitrated Your decree among Your creation. O Allah (swt), send blessings upon Ali ibn Husayn (as), Your servant who upheld the truth among Your creation, who was a proof of the messages You sent, who judged the religion with Your justice, and who decisively arbitrated Your decree. He is the leader of the worshippers. O Allah (swt), send blessings upon Muhammad ibn Ali, Your servant and successor in Your land, the one who unveiled the knowledge of the Prophets. O Allah (swt), send blessings upon Jafar ibn Muhammad, the truthful, the pious, Your servant, the guardian of Your religion, and Your proof upon all of Your creation. O Allah (swt), send blessings upon Musa ibn Jafar, Your righteous servant, the voice of Your wisdom among Your creation, and the proof upon all beings. O Allah (swt), send blessings upon Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha, the chosen one, Your servant and the guardian of Your religion, who upheld justice and called to Your religion and the religion of his truthful forefathers. Send blessings in abundance, such that none but You can encompass them. O Allah (swt), send blessings upon Muhammad ibn Ali, Your servant and Your guardian, who carried out Your commands and called to Your path. O Allah (swt), send blessings upon Ali ibn Muhammad, Your servant and the guardian of Your religion. O Allah (swt), send blessings upon Hasan ibn Ali, who acted upon Your command, upheld Your truth among Your creation, was Your proof, conveyed from Your Prophet, and was a witness upon Your creation. He was distinguished by Your honor and called to Your obedience and the obedience of Your Messenger. May Your blessings be upon them all. O Allah (swt), send blessings upon Your proof and guardian, the one who upholds truth among Your creation, with a complete, ever-growing, and everlasting blessing. Hasten his reappearance, support him with it, and make us among those who are with him in this world and the Hereafter." "O Allah (swt), I seek closeness to You through my love for them, and I declare my loyalty to their friends and enmity to their enemies. Grant me, through them, the goodness of this world and the Hereafter, and keep away from me, through them, the evils of this world and the Hereafter, as well as the terrors of the Day of Judgment." Then, sitting by his head, say: "Peace be upon you, O friend of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O proof of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O light of Allah (swt) in the darkness of the earth. Peace be upon you, O pillar of the religion. Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Adam, the chosen of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Noah, the prophet of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Abraham, the friend of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Ishmael, the sacrifice of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Moses, the one who conversed with Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Jesus, the spirit of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Muhammad, the messenger of Allah (swt). Peace be upon you, O inheritor of the Commander of the Faithful, Ali, the friend of Allah (swt) and the successor of the Messenger of the Lord (azj) of the worlds. Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Fatimah, the radiant. Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Hasan (as) and Husayn (as), the leaders of the youth of Paradise. Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Ali ibn Husayn (as), the leader of the worshippers. Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Muhammad ibn Ali, the one who uncovered the knowledge of the early and the later generations. Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Jafar ibn Muhammad, the truthful and the righteous. Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Musa ibn Jafar. Peace be upon you, O truthful and martyred one. Peace be upon you, O righteous and pious successor. I bear witness that you established the prayer, gave alms, enjoined good, forbade evil, and worshipped Allah (swt) sincerely until certainty [death] came to you." "Peace be upon you, O Abu al-Hasan, and the mercy and blessings of Allah (swt). Indeed, He is Praiseworthy, Glorious. Then, lean upon the grave and say: O Allah (swt), I have come to You from my homeland, traversing lands in hope of Your mercy. Do not disappoint me and do not return me without fulfilling my needs. Have mercy upon my movements around the grave of the son of Your Prophet's brother. Blessings and peace be upon him and his family. For you, by my father and mother, I have come as a visitor and a supplicant, seeking refuge from the burden of what I have committed against myself and carried upon my shoulders. Be an intercessor for me with Allah (swt) on the Day of my poverty and need. You have an exalted station with Allah (swt), and you are esteemed before Him. Then, raise your right hand and place your left hand upon the grave, and say: O Allah (swt), I seek closeness to You through my love for them and their guardianship. I align with their last as I aligned with their first, and I distance myself from every ally apart from them. O Allah (swt), curse those who altered Your blessings, accused Your Prophet, denied Your signs, mocked Your appointed leader, and burdened the people upon the shoulders of the family of Muhammad. O Allah (swt), I seek closeness to You by cursing them and by my dissociation from them in this world and the Hereafter. O Most Merciful. Then, move to the area by his feet and say: May Allah’s (swt) blessings be upon you, O Abu al-Hasan. May Allah (swt) bless your soul and body. You were patient, and you are truthful and affirmed. May Allah (swt) destroy those who killed you with their hands and tongues. Then, engage in cursing the killer of the Commander of the Faithful (as), the killers of Hasan (as) and Husayn (as), and all the killers of the family of the Messenger of Allah (swt), blessings be upon him and his family. After that, move to the area behind his head, and pray two rak’ahs. In the first rak’ah, recite Surah al-Hamd and Surah Ya-Sin; in the second, recite Surah al-Hamd and Surah al-Rahman. Strive in supplication and humility, making abundant supplication for yourself, your parents, and all your brethren. Stay by his head as long as you wish, and let your prayer at the grave be fervent."

Ḥadīth 2

]الوداع[ فإذا أردت أن تودعه فقل: " السلام عليك يا مولاي وابن مولاي ورحمة الله و بركاته أنت لنا جنة من العذاب وهذا أو ان انصرافنا عنك غير راغب عنك، ولا مستبدل بك، ولا مؤثر عليك، ولا زاهد في قربك، وقد جدت بنفسي للحدثان ، وتركت الأهل والأوطان والأولاد، فكن لي شافعا يوم حاجتي وفقري وفاقتي، يوم لا يغني عني حميمي ولا قريبي، يوم لا يغني عني والدي، أسأل الله الذي قدر رحيلي إليك أن ينفس بك كربتي، وأسال الله الذي قدر علي فراق مكانك أن لا يجعله آخر العهد من رجوعي، وأسأل الله الذي أبكى عليك عيني أن يجعله لي سببا وذخرا، وأسال الله الذي أراني مكانك وهداني للتسليم عليك وزيارتي إياك أن يوردني حوضكم، ويرزقني مرافقتكم في الجنان، السلام عليك يا صفوة الله [السلام على محمد بن عبد الله خاتم النبيين] السلام على أمير المؤمنين ووصي رسول رب العالمين، وقائد الغر المحجلين، السلام على الحسن والحسين سيدي شباب أهل الجنة، السلام علي الأئمة - وتسميهم عليهم السلام - ورحمة الله وبركاته، السلام على ملائكة الله الحافين، السلام على ملائكة الله المقيمين المسبحين الذين هم بأمره يعملون، السلام علينا وعلى عباد الله الصالحين، اللهم لا تجعله آخر العهد من زيارتي إياه، فإن جعلته فاحشرني معه ومع آبائه الماضين، وإن أبقيتني يا رب فارزقني زيارته أبدا ما أبقيتني إنك على كل شئ قدير ". وتقول: " أستودعك الله وأسترعيك وأقرأ عليك السلام آمنا بالله وبما دعوت إليه، اللهم فاكتبنا مع الشاهدين، اللهم ارزقني حبهم ومودتهم أبدا [ما أبقيتني السلام على ملائكة الله وزوار قبر ابن بني الله، السلام مني أبدا] ما بقيت ودائما إذا فنيت، السلام علينا وعلى عبد الله الصالحين ". فإذا خرجت من القبة فلا تول وجهك عنه حتى يغيب عن بصرك.

[Farewell] When you wish to bid farewell, say: "Peace be upon you, O my master and the son of my master, and the mercy and blessings of Allah (swt). You are for us a refuge from torment. This is the time for my departure from you, not out of aversion to you, nor preferring anyone else over you, nor seeking an alternative to you, nor desiring distance from your proximity. I have sacrificed myself for adversities, left my family, homeland, and children. Be my intercessor on the day of my need, poverty, and destitution, the day when neither a close friend nor a relative will avail me, the day when my parents will not suffice for me. I ask Allah (swt), who decreed my journey to you, to relieve my distress through you. I ask Allah (swt), who ordained my departure from your location, not to make this the last time I visit you. I ask Allah (swt), who caused my eyes to weep over you, to make it a means and provision for me. I ask Allah (swt), who showed me your place and guided me to greet and visit you, to grant me access to your fountain and bless me with your companionship in Paradise. Peace be upon you, O chosen one of Allah (swt). [Peace be upon Muhammad, son of Abdullah, the Seal of the Prophets.] Peace be upon the Commander of the Faithful, the successor of the Messenger of the Lord (azj) of the Worlds, the leader of the radiant ones. Peace be upon Hasan (as) and Husayn (as), the masters of the youth of Paradise. Peace be upon the Imams – and you name them – peace be upon them and the mercy of Allah (swt) and His blessings. Peace be upon the angels of Allah (swt) who encircle (this grave). Peace be upon the angels of Allah (swt) who remain stationed and glorify Him, fulfilling His command. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah (swt). O Allah (swt), do not make this the last of my visits to him. If You decree it to be so, then gather me with him and his righteous forefathers. If You extend my life, O Lord (azj), then bless me with the opportunity to visit him perpetually as long as You keep me alive. Indeed, You are capable of all things." And say: "I entrust you to Allah (swt), I place you in His care, and I send my peace to you. We believe in Allah (swt) and in what you called towards. O Allah (swt), write us among the witnesses. O Allah (swt), grant me their love and affection perpetually as long as I live. [Peace be upon the angels of Allah (swt) and the visitors to the grave of the son of the Prophet of Allah (swt). Peace from me forever as long as I live and eternally even after I pass.] Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah (swt)." When you leave the dome, do not turn your face away from it until it disappears from your sight.
