The Ziyārah of the Commander of the Believers, Invocations Next to His Grave, Performance of the Ziyārah — Hadith 3

3. Muḥammad ibn Ya’qūb narrated to me from those who narrated to him, from Sahl ibn Ziyād, from Muḥammad ibn Ūramah, from someone who narrated to him, who said: The Truthful Abul Ḥasan the Third (Imam Hādi (a. s. )) said: Recite the following next to the grave of the Commander of the Believers (a. s. ): Salām to you, O Walī of Allāh! You are the first one who was oppressed and you are the first one whose right was usurped. You stayed patient, anticipating the rewards from Allāh until that which is certain (death) came to you. I testify that you met Allāh as a martyr. May Allāh torment your killer with various kinds of chastisements and may He (continuously) renew the torment of your killer. I have come to you while I am aware of your right and endowed with insight into your status. I love those who love you and I antagonize your enemies and those who oppressed you. Allāh-willing, I shall meet my Lord in this very state. : O Walī of Allāh! I have many sins so intercede for me with your Lord, for verily you have a known position and a great status with Allāh and you have the power of intercession with Allāh. And He has said, “They offer no intercession except for those whom He approves, and they stand in awe and reverence of His glory” (21: 28). The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chains: A) My father, from Ḥusain ibn Ḥasan ibn Abān, from Muḥammad ibn Ūramah, from someone who narrated to him, from the Truthful, Abil Ḥasan, the Third (a. s. ). B) Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz Al-Qurashi, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā ibn ‘Ubayd, from some of our companions, from Abi Ḥasan, the Third (a. s. ).
