The Ziyārah of Abil Ĥasan Mūsā ibn Ja’far and Abǐ Ja’far Muĥammad ibn ‘Ali Al-Jawād — Hadith 1

1. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Razzāz Al-Kūfi narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā ibn ‘Ubayd, from someone whose name he mentioned, who said: Abul Ḥasan (Imam Hādi (a. s. )) said: Recite the following in Baghdad: Salām to you, O Walī of Allāh. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof. Salām to you, O Allāh’s light in the darkness of the earth. Salām to you, O one about whom Allāh modified His Will. I have come to you while I believe in your rights and I am the enemy of your enemies. Therefore, intercede for me with your Lord, O my master. Then supplicate to Allāh and ask for your needs. Thereafter, recite the same Salām in the Ziyārah of Abī Ja’far, Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali (Imam Jawād (a. s. )). He (Imam Hādi (a. s. )) said: When you want to go to the Ziyārah of Musā ibn Ja’far (Imam Kāżim (a. s. )) and Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali (Imam Jawād (a. s. )), cleanse yourself, perform Ghusl, wear your purified clothes, and then go the graves of Abil Ḥasan, Mūsā ibn Ja’far and Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali ibn Mūsā Al-Riďā (a. s. ). When you arrive at the grave of Mūsā ibn Ja’far (a. s. ) say: Salām to you, O Walī of Allāh. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof. Salām to you, O Allāh’s light in the darkness of the earth. Salām to you, O one about whom Allāh modified His will. I have come to you to perform your Ziyārah while I believe in your rights, I am the enemy of your enemies, and I befriend your friends. Therefore, intercede for me with your Lord, O my master. Then ask for your needs. Say Salām to Abī Ja’far, Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali Al-Jawād (a. s. ), ensuring that Ghusl has been performed, by saying: O Allāh! Send Your blessing on Muḥammad ibn ‘Ali, the righteous, the pious, the pure Imam, who is pleased with You and with whom You are pleased, and Your Decisive Proof on those who are on the earths and those under the dust. (O Allāh! Send) an increasing, complete, purified, beautified, continuous, and a frequent blessing (on him) that is consecutive and greater than any of the blessings You have sent on any of Your friends. Salām to you, O Walī of Allāh. Salām to you, O light of Allāh. Salām to you, O Allāh’s Decisive Proof. Salām to you, O Imam of the believers and heir of the prophets. Salām to you, O Caliph of the prophets and O pr
