The Ziyārah of Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali and How It Should Be Performed — Hadith 15

15. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Mughīrah, from ‘Abbās ibn ‘Āmir, from Abān, from Abī Nāb Ḥusain (Ḥasan) ibn ‘Aťiyyah Bayyā’ Al-Sāburi, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a. s. )) say: Allāh will register performing Hajj and ‘Umrah for those who go to the grave of Ḥusain (a. s. ). I asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! What should I recite when I go to his Ziyārah? ” Imam (a. s. ) said, recite (the following): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. Salām to you, O son of the Messenger of Allāh. Salām to you on the day you were born, on the day of your death, and on the day on which you will be resurrected. I testify that you are a martyr who is alive, you are with your Lord while you receive sustenance. I love those who love you and I dissociate myself from your enemies. And I testify that those who fought you and breached your sanctity are cursed by the tongue of the Prophet of Makkah. And I testify that you established prayers, gave charity, enjoined good, forbade evil, and fought in the way of your Lord with wisdom and by giving good counsel. I ask Allāh, your Master and our Master, to send blessing on our Prophet and to forgive our sins as our gift for having performed your Ziyārah. O son of the Messenger of Allāh! Intercede on my behalf with your Lord.
