The Ziyārah of the Grave of Abil Ĥasan ‘Ali ibn Mūsā Al-Riďā — Hadith 2

2. It is narrated from one of them (the Holy Infallibles (a. s. )), who said: When you (decide to) go to the grave of ‘Ali ibn Mūsā Al-Riďā (a. s. ) in Ťūs, perform a Ghusl before leaving your house and recite the following while performing the Ghusl: O Allāh! Purify me and purify my heart, expand my chest, and make my tongue glorify and sanctify You. Verily there is no power except with You. O Allāh! Make this (Ghusl) a purification for me and make it my cure and my light. At the time of leaving (your house) recite (the following): (s. a. a. w. ) (I am going) in the name of Allāh, by Allāh, to Allāh, and to the son of His Messenger (s. a. a. w. ). Allāh is sufficient for me and I rely on Allāh. O Allāh! I have turned to You, I am coming toward You, and I am seeking that which is with You. After you leave your house, stand next to the door and recite (the following): O Allāh! I have turned my face toward You and I have left my family, my wealth, and that which You have given me in Your protection. I have placed my trust in You so do not disappoint me. O One who those who seek Him are never disappointed and those who are protected by Him will never be lost! Send Your blessing on Muḥammad and the family of Muḥammad and protect me with Your protection, for verily those who are protected by You will never be lost. And once you arrive (in Ťūs) safely – Allāh-Willing – perform (another) Ghusl and recite the following during the Ghusl: O Allāh! Purify me and purify my heart. Expand my chest and allow my tongue to sanctify You, glorify You, and speak of Your love. Verily there is no power except with You. I have surely understood that the foundation of my religion is submitting to Your orders, following the traditions of Your Prophet, and testifying that You are the Creator of all of the creation. O Allāh! Make this (Ghusl) my cure and my light. Verily You have power over all things. Then wear your most purified clothes. Walk (toward the grave) barefoot with reverence and calmness while you recite Takbīr, Tahlīl, Tasbīḥ, TAḤMǏD, and TAMJǏD. Take short steps and recite (the following) while you enter (the Ḥaram): (I enter) in the name of Allāh, by Allāh, and while I am in the nation of the Messenger of Allāh (s. a. a. w. ). I testify that there is no god but Allāh, He is alone and He has no partners. And I testify that Muḥammad (s. a. a. w. ) is His slave and His Messenger. And (I testify) that ‘Ali (a. s. ) is the Walī of Allāh. Then point toward his grave and stand with your back toward Qiblah, facing his face, and recite (the following): I testify that there is no god but Allāh; He is alone and He has no partners. And I testify that Muḥammad (s. a. a. w. ) is His slave and His Messenger, that he is the ma
