The Ziyārah(s) Which Can be Recited for All of the Imams — Hadith 2

2. My father and all of my scholars narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā Al-‘Aťťār, from Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Yaḥyā ibn ‘Imrān, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥassān, from ‘Urwah ibn Isḥāq – the nephew of Shu’ayb Al-‘Aqraqūfi, from someone whose name he mentioned, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a. s. )) said: Recite the following (Ziyārah) next to the grave of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a. s. ). You may also recite the same (Ziyārah) next to the graves of all of the Imams (a. s. ): Salām to you from Allāh and Salām upon Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh (s. a. a. w. ), Allāh’s Trustee of His revelation and His firmly determined affairs, the last of that which has passed and the one who began that which is yet to come.

Send Your blessing on the son of Your Messenger… And mention the Imams (a. s. ) in the same way that you sent blessings on the Prophet (s. a. a. w. ) repeating the above statement for each Imam (a. s. ) one after another until you reach the Imam whose Ziyārah you are performing. Then recite (the following): I testify that you are the word of piety, the door of guidance, the strongest handhold, and the Decisive Proof which has been announced to those on it (earth) and those (buried) under the dust. I testify that your souls and your clay are from the same substance which is blessed and purified with the light of Allāh and with His Mercy. I take Allāh and I take you as witnesses that I follow you in everything that is related to my affairs, the rulings of
