Visiting the Graves of the Imam Hasan Ibn Ali Ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام, Imam Ali Ibn Al-Husayn عليه السلام, Imam Muhammad Ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, and Imam Ja'far Ibn Muhammad Imam Jafar Ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام in Al-Baqi: When you arrive at the graves of the Imams عليه السلام in Al-Baqi‘, place yourself before them and recite: "Peace be upon you, O Imams of guidance. Peace be upon you, O people of piety. Peace be upon you, O proofs of Allah سبحانه وتعالى upon the inhabitants of the earth. Peace be upon you, O those who uphold justice among creation. Peace be upon you, O people of purity. Peace be upon you, O companions of the divine secrets. I bear witness that you conveyed the message, advised sincerely, endured patiently for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Exalted. You were denied and wronged, yet you forgave. I bear witness that you are the rightly guided Imams, and that obedience to you is obligatory, your words are truthful, and that you called but were not answered, you commanded but were not obeyed. You are the pillars of religion and the foundations of the earth. You have always been under Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى watchful gaze, transferred from the loins of the purified to the wombs of the chaste. The ignorance of the ignorant era did not defile you, nor did the tribulations of desires affect you. Blessed are you, and blessed are your origins. You are those upon whom Allah سبحانه وتعالى has bestowed His favor, the Judge of the faith, placing you in houses which Allah سبحانه وتعالى has permitted to be exalted and in which His name is remembered. He made our prayers upon you a mercy for us and an expiation for our sins. He chose you for us, and He purified our creation through the grace of your guardianship. Through your merit, we are recognized by Him, and through our affirmation of you, we acknowledge the truth." And this is the stance of one who has transgressed, erred, humbled himself, and confessed to his wrongdoing, hoping in his position for salvation and to be delivered by you, as the Deliverer of those perishing from the Fire. Be my intercessors, for I have come to you at a time when the people of the world have turned away from you, mocked the signs of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and arrogantly disregarded them. O He who is ever-watchful, never heedless, eternal, never distracted, and encompassing all things! Yours is the favor for guiding me and making me aware of what You entrusted to me, while others of Your servants turned away, ignorant of their duty, belittled their rights, and leaned toward others. Your grace upon me is shared with those whom You have uniquely favored, just as You have uniquely favored me. All praise belongs to You for counting me among those who are recorded before You in this state. So do not deprive me of what I hope for, and do not disappoint me in what I have asked. Then, pray for yourself for whatever you wish. After that, perform eight units of prayer in the mosque there, reciting in them whatever you desire and ending with salutations after every two units. It is said that this is the place where Fatimah, peace be upon her, performed her prayers.
