7. Muĥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ĥimyari narrated to me from his father, from Aĥmad ibn Abǐ ‘Abdillāh Al-Barqi, from his father, who narrated that: Ĥanān ibn Sadǐr Al-Šayrafi went to (visit) Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ) when a group of his companions were with him. Imam  asked him, “O Ĥanān ibn Sadǐr! Do you perform the Ziyārah of Abǐ ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ĥusain ) once every month?” Ĥanān replied, “No.” Imam  asked, “What about once every two months?” Ĥanān replied, “No.” Imam  asked, “What about once a year?” Ĥanān replied, “No.” Imam  said, “How negligent you people are toward your master!!!” Ĥanān said, “O son of the Messenger of Allāh! It is because of lack of wealth and the greatness of the distance.” Imam  said, “Should I not teach you an accepted Ziyārah even from a great distance?!” Ĥanān asked, “How should I perform his Ziyārah, O son of the Messenger of Allāh?” Imam  replied: Perform a Ghusl on a Friday or any other day you wish, wear the most purified of your clothes, ascend to the highest place in your house or in a desert, and then face the Qiblah after ensuring that the grave is also in the same direction, for Allāh, the Blessed and the Exalted, says, “Wherever you turn, there is the face of Allāh” (2:115). Then say:          Salām to you, O my master and the son of my master and O my leader and the son of my leader.                Salām to you, O my master, the Martyr and son of the Martyr, the Slain (One) and the son of the Slain (One). Salām to you and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon you.                I am performing your Ziyārah, O son of the Messenger of Allāh with my heart, my tongue, and my organs although I have not come to your Ziyārah physically where I can see your dome.        Salām to you, O heir of Ādam, the Chosen Slave of Allāh;     And O heir of Nūĥ, the Prophet of Allāh;     And O heir of Ibrāhǐm, the Friend of Allāh;     And O heir of Mūsā, the One Addressed by Allāh;     And O heir of ‘Isā, the Spirit of Allāh;       And O heir of Muĥammad, the Love, the Prophet, and the Messenger of Allāh;        And O heir of ‘Ali, the Commander of the Believers, the Successor of the Messenger of Allāh and his Caliph;       And O heir of Ĥasan ibn ‘Ali, the Successor of the Commander of the Believers.             May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you and may He renew their torment in this hour and in every hour.                                  O my master! I seek nearness to Allāh, the Great and Almighty, and to your grandfather, the Messenger of Allāh, and to your father, the Commander of the Believers, and to your brother, Ĥasan, and to you, O my leader, through performing your Ziyārah with my heart, my tongue, and all of my organs. Salām to you and (may) Allāh’s Mercy and Blessings be upon you.         O my master! Intercede on my behalf so that this Ziyārah is accepted from me.             I seek nearness to Allāh and to all of you by dissociating myself from your enemies and by cursing them.      May Allāh’s blessings, His Pleasure, and His Mercy be upon you. Then move a short distance to the left and turn your face toward the grave of ‘Ali ibn Ĥusain , who is (buried) next to the feet of his father, and say Salām to him in the same way. Thereafter, ask Allāh for that which you want with regards to the matters of your religion and your life and then establish four Rak’ah of prayers. Verily the prayers of the Ziyārah can be established in either eight, six, four, or two Rak’ah, and the best is eight Rak’ah. After the prayers face the grave of Abǐ ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ĥusain ) and say:           I bid farewell to you, O my master and the son of my master and O my leader and the son of my leader.          And I bid farewell to you, O my master and the son of my master, O ‘Ali ibn Ĥusain.       And I bid farewell to you, O my masters, O crowd of Martyrs.       May Allāh’s Salām, His Mercy, His Pleasure, and His Blessings be upon you.
