1. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz Al-Kūfi narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from ‘Abdil Raḥmān ibn Abī Najrān, from Yazīd ibn Isḥāqa Sha’ar, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Aťiyyah, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) said: When you enter the Ḥā`ir, recite (the following): O Allāh! You have honoured and dignified me by (allowing me to be in) this position. O Allāh! Grant me that which I long for based on my true belief in You and in Your messengers. Salām of Allāh be upon you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. And Salām of the angels be upon you along with the Purified and the Blessed greetings which reach you at all times. Salām be upon Allāh’s High-Ranked Angels. Salām be upon those whose hearts are submissive to you and whose tongues speak of your merits. I testify that you are truthful and veracious. You were truthful about that which you invited (the people) to and you were truthful in that which you brought forth. Verily Allāh is the avenger of your blood on earth, the blood which cannot be avenged on earth except through (the hands of) your supporters. O Allāh! Make me love witnessing their sites and being in their presence until you allow me to join them and to be at their service, and make me among their followers in this life and in the Hereafter. Then walk a short distance and say “Allāhu Akbar” seven times. Then stop next to the grave and recite (the following): Sanctified is He whom the MULK and the MALAKŪT sanctify and whose names are glorified by all of His creation. Sanctified is Allāh, the King, the Holy, and the Lord of the angels and the (Holy) Spirit. O Allāh! Register me among Your visitors who have come to the best of Your places and to the best of Your creation. O Allāh! Curse the Jibt and the Ťāghūt and curse their followers and those who adhere to them. O Allāh! Allow me to witness all of the blessed sites in the company of the family of Your Prophet عليه السلام. O Allāh! Make me die as a Muslim and allow me to have a sure footing with the remaining heirs from among Your righteous slaves “who inherit Firdaws where they shall abide eternally” (23:11). Then say “Allāhu Akbar” five times, walk a short distance, and recite (the following): O Allāh! I believe in You and I am certain about Your promise. O Allāh! Sustain me with faith and make it steady in my heart. O Allāh! Make that which I say with my tongue be a truth in which I believe in my heart and laws to which I abide through my actions. O Allāh! Make me among those who have their foot steady with Ḥusain عليه السلام and register me among those who were martyred with him. Then say “Allāhu Akbar” three times and raise both of your hands and place them on the grave and recite (the following): I testify that you are pure and purified, and (you are the son) of the pure and the purified one. You are purified and the lands are purified through you. The dust in which you are lying is purified and your Ḥaram is (also) purified. I testify that you ordered (people) and invited (them) to justice and equity. Verily Allāh will avenge your blood on earth and verily He will take your revenge from all of His creation. Then place both of your cheeks on the grave. Then sit down and extol Allāh and supplicate to Him however you wish. Thereafter, come back to the grave and place your hands next to his feet and recite (the following): May Allāh’s blessings be upon your soul and upon your body. You (always) said the truth and you are the trustworthy and the truthful one. May Allāh kill anyone who participated in killing you with their hands and tongues. Then face ‘Ali عليه السلام, his son, and recite that which you wish. Then stand up, turn toward the grave of the martyrs, and recite (the following): Salām to you, O martyrs. You are our leaders and we shall (soon) follow you. Be delighted about the promise of Allāh which will not be broken. Allāh will avenge your blood and He will seek revenge from His enemies on earth through you. You are the Masters of the Martyrs in this life and in the Hereafter. Then face the grave (of Ḥusain عليه السلام) and establish as many prayers as you want, and then recite (the following): I have come to you as your guest and I beseech Allāh through you for all of my requests in this life and in the Hereafter. Those who beseech Allāh, beseech Him for their requests through you. Those who seek revenge will be avenged by Allāh through you. Then say “Allāhu Akbar” eleven consecutive times without haste. Then walk a short distance, face the Qiblah, and recite (the following): Praise be to Allāh, the One, who runs all of the affairs alone. He created the creation and none of their affairs escape His knowledge; He knows everything with His power. The earth and those on it have guaranteed that your blood shall be avenged (in this life), O son of the Messenger of Allāh! May Allāh’s blessing be upon you. I testify that Allāh has promised to support you and achieve victory for you and that He has truly promised to destroy your enemies. Surely Allāh will fulfill His promise to you. : I testify that those who followed you are the truthful ones about whom Allāh, the Blessed and the Exalted, says, “They are the truthful ones; and they are witnesses (to the truth) before their Lord. They shall have their recompense and their light” (57:19). Then say “Allāhu Akbar” seven times and walk a short distance. Then face the grave (again) and recite (the following): Praise be to Allāh who “has not taken a son, for whom there is not a partner in the kingdom, and who created everything and determined for it a fixed measure” (25:2). I testify that you invited (the people) to Allāh and to His Messenger صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and you fulfilled the covenant of Allāh. You rose with the words of Allāh and you fought in the way of Allāh until that which is certain (death) came to you. May Allāh’s curse be upon the party who killed you; may Allāh’s curse be upon the party who oppressed you; may Allāh’s curse be upon the party who abandoned you; and may Allāh’s curse be upon the party who betrayed you. O Allāh! I take You as witness that I love those whom You love and those whom 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 messengers, destroyed Your Ka’bah, distorted Your Book, spilled the blood of the family of Your Prophet, caused mischief in Your land, and disgraced Your slaves. O Allāh! Multiply Your chastisement on them as long as anyone travels on Your routes, Your lands, and Your seas. O Allāh! Curse them in Your earth and in Your heaven in the most secretive ways which are hidden and in the most public ways. Imam عليه السلام added, “And every time you enter the Ḥā`ir, say Salām (to Ḥusain عليه السلام) and place your hands on the grave.”
