VISITING THE GRAVE OF ABU ABDULLAH IMAM AL-HUSAYN IBN ALI IBN ABI TALIB WHO WAS MARTYRED IN KARBALA Hadith.3199 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq said: "When you go to visit Abu Abdullah al-Husayn perform ghusl (ritual purification) on the bank of the Euphrates River. Then wear pure clothes, and walk barefoot, for you are in a sacred sanctuary of Allah , the Mighty and Exalted, and the sanctuary of His Messenger, peace be upon him and his family. Engage in much glorification, praising, and magnification of Allah , the Mighty and Exalted. Send abundant blessings upon Muhammad and his family, peace be upon him and them, as you proceed until you reach the gate of the shrine. Then say: 'Peace be upon you, O proof of Allah , and son of His proof. Peace be upon you, O angels of Allah and visitors to the grave of the son of the Prophet of Allah .' Take ten steps forward, then stand and glorify Allah with thirty takbir (saying "Allahu Akbar"). Continue walking until you reach the grave from the front. Face the grave with your face, keeping the Qibla behind your shoulders, and say: 'Peace be upon you, O proof of Allah , and son of His proof.'" "Peace be upon you, O avenged by Allah on earth and son of His avenger. Peace be upon you, O solitary one of Allah , avenged in the heavens and the earth. I bear witness that your blood resides in eternity, causing the Throne’s canopy to tremble, and all creation to weep for you. The seven heavens, the seven earths, all within and between them, and all beings in Paradise and Hell, both seen and unseen, wept for you. I bear witness that you are the proof of Allah and the son of His proof. I bear witness that you are avenged by Allah and the son of His avenger. I bear witness that you are the solitary one of Allah , avenged in the heavens and the earth. I bear witness that you conveyed the message of Allah , advised sincerely, fulfilled and completed your covenant, struggled in the path of your Lord , and departed as a witness, testified to, a martyr, and testified against. I am the servant of Allah and your follower, in your obedience, seeking your intercession and closeness. I aim for the highest rank with Allah , the Mighty and Exalted, and for steadfastness in migration to you. You are the path that cannot be replaced, and I enter your protection, as commanded by Allah . Whoever seeks Allah begins with you. Whoever seeks Allah begins with you. Whoever seeks Allah begins with you. Through you, Allah reveals truth from falsehood. Through you, Allah distances the age of deceit. Through you, Allah opens and concludes. Through you, ‘Allah erases whatever He wills, and through you, Allah affirms and establishes. Through you, Allah removes disgrace from our necks. Through you, Allah avenges every wrong suffered by believing men and women. Through you, the earth grows its trees, the trees bear their fruits, the heavens send down their rain, Allah lifts anguish, and rain descends. Through you, the earth that carries your bodies glorifies Allah . Cursed is the nation that killed you, the nation that opposed you, the nation that denied your guardianship, the nation that fought against you, and the nation that witnessed and did not support you. All praise belongs to Allah , who made the Fire their abode. ‘What an evil destination to arrive at.’ ‘What an evil place to return to.’ ‘And all praise belongs to Allah , the Lord of the worlds.’ Peace be upon you, O Aba Abdullah. I declare my disavowal before Allah from those who opposed you. I declare my disavowal before Allah from those who opposed you. I declare my disavowal before Allah from those who opposed you. Then proceed to his son, Ali (Ali ibn al-Husayn ) who is at his feet, and say: 'Peace be upon you, O son of the Messenger of Allah . Peace be upon you, O son of Ali, the Commander of the Faithful. Peace be upon you, O son of Hasan and Husayn . Peace be upon you, O son of Khadijah {s.a} and Fatimah {s.a}, peace be upon her. May Allah’s blessings be upon you. May Allah’s blessings be upon you. May Allah’s blessings be upon you. May Allah curse those who killed you. May Allah curse those who killed you. May Allah curse those who killed you. I declare my disavowal before Allah from them. I declare my disavowal before Allah from them. I declare my disavowal before Allah from them.' Then stand and gesture with your hand toward the martyrs and say: 'Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. By Allah , you have succeeded. By Allah , you have succeeded. By Allah , you have succeeded. Would that I were with you, ‘so that I could achieve a great success.’' Then turn and position the grave of Aba Abdullah before you and pray six units of prayer. With that, your visitation is complete. This visitation is narrated by al-Hasan ibn Rashid from al-Husayn ibn Thuwair from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq ."
