The Ziyārah of Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali and How It Should Be Performed — Hadith 2

leases through you. Allāh removes the disgrace from us through you and He shall avenge the unavenged blood of the believers through you. The trees in the earth grow through you and they become fruitful through you. And the skies rain and send down sustenance through you. Allāh removes the anguish (from the believers) through you and He showers down the rain (of mercy) through you. The earth which carries your bodies sanctifies Allāh through you. And it is through you that the mountains are firmly fixed in the land. The Will of Allāh with regards to His destined affairs descends to you and is issued (to the creation) from your houses. Similarly the true and detailed rulings, which govern Allāh’s slaves, are issued from your houses. Cursed are those who killed you, those who opposed you, those who denied your divine authority, those who supported one another against you, and those who were present but were not martyred with you. Praise be to Allāh who made Hell their final destination. What a terrible abode Hell is and what an evil dwelling their dwelling is! Praise be to Allāh, the Lord of the Worlds. Then repeat each of the following statements three times: May Allāh’s blessing be upon you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from those who opposed you. Then move toward (the grave of) his son, ‘Ali (a. s. ), who is located next to the feet of Ḥusain (a. s. ) and recite (the following): Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you, O son of the Commander of the Believers. Salām to you, O son of Ḥasan and Ḥusain. Salām to you, O son of Khadījah, the Great, and O son of Fāťimah Al-Zahrā. Then repeat each of the following statements three times: May Allāh’s blessing be upon you. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from them. Then stand up and point with your hand toward the Martyrs, repeating each of the following statements three times: Salām to you. I swear to Allāh that you have achieved victory. Then recite (the following): I wish I was among you so that I could have achieved a great victory. Then go around the grave and stand behind the grave of Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain (a. s. )) and establish six Rak’ah of prayers while facing the grave. By doing (all of) this, your Ziyārah is complete. You can choose to stay there or leave if you want.
