How to Perform the Ziyārah of Abil Faďl ‘Abbās ibn ‘Ali — Hadith 1

d not with your enemies. I believe in you and in your return and I disbelieve in those who opposed you and killed you. May Allāh kill the nation who killed you with their hands and tongues. Then enter, fall on to the grave, and recite (the following): Salām to you, O (Allāh’s) Righteous Slave who was obedient to Allāh, to His Messenger, to the Commander of the Believers, and to Ḥasan and Ḥusain (a. s. ). Salām to you and may Allāh’s Mercy, Blessings, and Pleasure be upon you, your soul, and your body. I testify and take Allāh as witness that you died on the same path as the martyrs in the Battle of Badr who fought in the way of Allāh, that you remained loyal to Him in fighting against His enemies, that you strived hard in supporting His Divine Authorities, and that you kept harm away from His Loved Ones. May Allāh reward you with the best of rewards, the greatest rewards, the most increasing rewards, and with rewards which are above any reward (which He has ever) granted to those who remained loyal to their allegiance, who answered His call, and who obeyed His Divine Authorities. I testify that you strived hard with loyalty and put forth all of your efforts (in the way of Allāh). Therefore, Allāh resurrected you among the Martyrs, joined your soul with the souls of the Ever-Blissful Ones, and gave you the most spacious place in His Heavens and the best of its chambers (as your abode). And He elevated your remembrance in the highest of places and raised you with “the prophets, the Truthful Ones, the Martyrs, and the Righteous Ones, and excellent are these companions” (4: 69). I testify that you were not weakened and you did not lose heart (while facing the enemies). Verily you died with insight about your affairs while following the Righteous Ones and the prophets. May Allāh unite us with you, with His Messenger, and His Divine Authorities in the dwellings of the Humble Ones. Verily He is the Most Merciful of the merciful ones.
