Imām Muhammad ibn ‘Alī al-Bāqir (A.S.) said: "On Ashura Day, before noon, he should go to a desert or an elevated portion of his house and recite salutations to Imam Husain (a.s.), curse his killers excessively and pray two Rakats prayers. Then he should mourn and lament over Imam Husain (a.s.), order everyone in his house to lament him, hold a gathering in his house narrating Imam Husain’s tragedies and become restless on the tragedies of the Imam (a.s.), meet one another weeping and consoling one another over the Imam’s tragedies. If they do so, I guarantee that the Almighty Allāh will record all of those rewards for him. [References: Kamiluz Ziyaraat, Chapter 71, Tradition 7, page 162]
Imām Alī ibn Mūsā al-Rezā (a.s.) said:“Whoever avoids attending to his worldly affairs on the tenth of Muharram, Allāh will fulfill all the wishes and desires of this world as well as the hereafter. Whoever considers this day to be a day of mourning, sorrow and weeping for himself, Allāh the Glorified will make the day of Qiyāmah to be a day of rejoicing for him and his eyes will be cooled in Paradise on account of us.
And whoever considers the tenth of Muharram to be a day of prosperity and buys something for his house (considering it a good omen), then Allāh will not give him affluence in that thing. And on the day of Qiyāmah he will be made to arise along with Yazid, Ubaydullāh bin Ziyād and Umar ibn Sa'ad (may Allāh's curse be on all of them) and will be thrown into the lowest abyss of hell.” [Reference: Nafasul Mahmum, Chapter # 3]

2.Dua of Imam Husayn (as) on the Morning of Ashura when facing the army of Yazid
Background
Imam Zayn al-Abideen (as) reported that when the cavalry of Umar b. Sa'ad approached Imam Husayn (as) on the morning of 10th Muharram 61 AH (680 AD), he raised his hands and recited the dua below.
This event has been narrated in several early books of Islamic History, both Shi'a & Sunni. The source of the text below is al-Shaykh Al-Mufid (d. 413 AH/1022 AD) and eminent early Shi'a Jurist and theologian.
This Supplication has psychological and spiritual applications, particularly when facing difficult problems, confronting powerful adversaries, feeling overwhelmed, dealing with loneliness, or managing depression.
اَللهُمَّ اَتْتَ ثِقَتِىْ فِيْ كُلِّ كَرْبٍ ،
وَ رَجَائِ فِيْ كٌلِّ شِدَّةٍ ،
وَ اَنْتَ لِي فِيْ كُلِّ اَمْرٍ نَزَلَ بِيْ ثِقَةُ وَ عُدَّةً ،
Allahumma anta thiqati fi kulli karb, wa raja i fi kulli shiddah, wa 'anta li fi kulli 'amrin nazala bi thiqatun wa 'uddah,
O Allah, You are the One I trust in every adversity, and You are my trust and provision for everything that happens to me,
كَمْ مِنْ هَمٍّ يَضْعُفُ فِيْهِ الْفُوَادُ،
وَتَقِلُ فِيْهِ الْحِيْلَةْ ، وَ يَخْذُلُ فِيْهِ الصَّدِيْقْ ، وَ يَشْمَتُ فِيْهِ الْعَدُوْ
Kam min hammin yad'ufu fihil fu'wad, wa taqillu fihil hilah, wa yakhdhulu fihi assadiq, wa yashmatu fihil 'aduw,
(Despite) the number of worries in which the heart weakens, strength diminishes, friends abandon, and rejoice,
اَنْزَلْتُهُ بِكَ وَ شَكَوْتُهُ اِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً مِنِّىْ اِلَيْكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ ، فَفَرَّجْتَهُ وَ كَشَفْتَهْ
'anzaltuhu bika wa shakawtuhu ilayka raghbatan minni ilayka amman siwak, fafarrajtahu wa kashaftah
I endured it with You and appealed to You about it due to my devotion to You alone, so You relieved me of it and removed it,
وَ اَتْتَ وَلِيُّ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ ،
وَ صِاحِبُ كُلِّ حَسَنَةٍ ،
وَ مُنْتَهَى كُلِّ رَغْبَةٍ

سُبْحانَ [اللَّهِ] رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ وَ سَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً
عَدَدَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ مِلْأَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ زِنَةَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ أَضْعَافَ ذَلِكَ أَضْعَافاً مُضَاعَفَةً أَبَداً سَرْمَداً كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِعَظَمَتِهِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْمُلْكِ وَ الْمَلَكُوتِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْعِزِّ وَ الْجَبَرُوتِ سُبْحَانَ الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ سُبْحَانَ الْقَائِمِ الدَّائِمِ سُبْحَانَ الْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ سُبْحَانَ الْعَلِيِّ الْأَعْلَى سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ سُبُّوحٌ قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحِ

Yea, to Him be praise, in the heavens and on earth; and in the late afternoon and when the day begins to decline. It is He Who brings out the living from the dead, and brings out the dead from the living, and Who gives life to the earth after it is dead: and thus shall ye be brought out (from the dead).”30:17-19
“Glory be to Your Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)! And Peace on the apostles! And Praise be to God!, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds. “37:180-182
“Praise be to God!, who begets no son, and has no partner in (His) dominion: Nor (needs) He any to protect Him from humiliation: yea, magnify Him for His greatness and glory!” 17:111
Praise as many in number as there are things, as much as it fills everything, as heavy as all things, and many times more than this – so much that it suits His Grandeur. Glory be to Lord of Sovereignty and Kingdom! Glory be to the Lord of Honor and Omnipotence. Glory be to the Everlasting who shall not perish! Glory be to the Sovereign, the Holy One! Glory be to the Upright! The Perpetual!
Glory be to the Living, the Self-Subsisting ! Glory be to the Highest High, the Glorified and Sublime! Glory be to God – Sacred, Holy, Lord of the angels and the Spirit! O' my God! I made it to the morning honored, blessed and in good health. O' God! Please perfect Your Blessings, Favor and Well-being for me. O' God! Please bless me with Your Gratitude. O' my God! I was guided by the Light of Your Face, and became needless by Your Bounties. I made it to the morning and the evening by Your Blessings! O' my God! I take You as witness. You suffice as a witness for me.
I take Your angels, the carriers of Your Throne, all Your creatures, Your Heaven and Earth, Your Paradise and Hell. I bear witness to You as there is no God but You. You are the Only who has no associate.
I bear witness that any creatures from the heavens or the earth are doomed to destruction but You. And I bear witness that Muhammad (as) is Your servant and Your Prophet. I bear witness that the Hour is sure to come and there is no doubt about it. I bear witness that You are the Resurrector of the dead from the graves.
O' my God! Please record my testimony near You until I meet You with You pleased with me. O' the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful! O' my God! All praise belongs to You.
Praise of the heavens that has lowered its peripherals in humbleness to You, and that the earth and whatever lies in it glorifies You. Praise that rises and does not end. Praise that increases and does not diminish. Praise that is everlasting, eternal, never stopping and never ending. Praise that begins to rise and does not end.
Praise belongs to You by me, above me, with me, in front of me and near me.
O‟ my Guardian! Praise belongs to You when I die and You survive. So all praise belongs to You for all Your Bounties with all forms of praise for You. Praise belongs to You in each beating of the veins, each instance of eating, drinking, dressing, exerting, exhaling, and all hair. All Praise belongs to You. All Sovereignty belongs to You.
In Your hand is all the good. All affairs whether public or private return to You.
And You are the ultimate Authority! O' my God! Praise belongs to You for having known and yet been patient, and for having pardoned even though You can punish. O' my God! Praise belongs to You. Praise to You O' Cause of Praise! Praise belongs to You! O' Inheritor of Praise! O' Creator of Praise! O' Destination of Praise! O' Origin of Praise! O' He who honors his covenants! And is truthful in promise, O' Exalted in Might! O' the Eternal in Glory! O' my God! Praise belongs to You. O' He who give high ranks! O' the Responder to supplications! O' He who sends verses from above the seven heavens! O' He who brings out of darkness and into light! O' He who turns evils into good deeds! O' He who gives ranks to good deeds! O' my God! Praise belongs to You.
O' Forgiver of sins, Acceptor of repentance, Strict in punishment, O' He who is Benevolent. There is no God but You! “To You is our Final Goal.”Al-Mumtahana 60:4.
O' my God! Praise belongs to You at night when it is dark and in the daytime when it is light. Praise belongs to You in the afterlife and the first life.
O' my God! Praise belongs to You as many in number as there are stars in the sky. Praise belongs to You as many in number as there are dominions in the sky. Praise belongs to You as many in number as there are drops in the rain.
Praise belongs to You as many in number as there are leaves in the trees. Praise belongs to You as many in number as there are men and genies. Praise belongs to You as many in number as there is sand, animals, beasts and birds - as many in number as there in the depth of the earth and as many in number as there are on the face of the earth. Praise belongs to You as many in number as Your Book has counted and Your Knowledge has encompassed and Your Throne weighs.
Praise that is plentiful and blessed in it. O' my God! Praise belongs to You as many in number as You say, and as many in number as You know, and as many in number as all Your creatures from the first generation to the last act, and equal in weight and number to all we name up until we die and perish. There is no God but God. He is One and there are no partners for Him.
Sovereignty and Praise belong to Him. He gives life and causes to die and He has power over all things."

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَارِثَ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَارِثَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ سَيِّدِ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ أَفْضَلِ السَّابِقِينَ وَ سِبْطِ خَاتَمِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ كَيْفَ لَا تَكُونُ كَذَلِكَ سَيِّدِي وَ أَنْتَ إِمَامُ الْهُدَى وَ حَلِيفُ التُّقَى وَ خَامِسُ أَصْحَابِ الْكِسَاءِ رُبِّيتَ فِي حَجْرِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ رَضَعْتَ مِنْ ثَدْيِ الْإِيمَانِ فَطِبْتَ حَيّاً وَ مَيِّتاً
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَارِثَ الْحَسَنِ الزَّكِيِّ
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الصِّدِّيقُ الشَّهِيدُ
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْوَصِيُّ الْبَرُّ التَّقِيُّ الرَّضِيُّ الزَّكِيُّ
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى الْأَرْوَاحِ الَّتِي حَلَّتْ بِفِنَائِكَ
وَ أَنَاخَتْ بِسَاحَتِكَ وَ جَاهَدَتْ فِي اللَّهِ مَعَكَ وَ شَرَتْ نَفْسَهَا ابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللَّهِ فِيكَ
السَّلَامُ عَلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُحْدِقِينَ بِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ أَبَاكَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَيِّدُ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ قَائِدُ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ إِمَامٌ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ طَاعَتَهُ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ
وَ كَذَلِكَ أَخُوكَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ صَلَوَاتُ [صلى] اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ كَذَلِكَ أَنْتَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ [أولادك]
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ أَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَ آتَيْتُمُ الزَّكَاةَ وَ أَمَرْتُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ نَهَيْتُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ جَاهَدْتُمْ فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهادِهِ حَتَّى أَتَاكُمُ الْيَقِينُ
مِنْ وَعْدِهِ فَأُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ وَ أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي بِاللَّهِ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ مُصَدِّقٌ وَ بِحَقِّكُمْ عَارِفٌ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ بَلَّغْتُمْ عَنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا أَمَرَكُمْ بِهِ وَ عَبَدْتُمُوهُ حَتَّى أَتَاكُمُ الْيَقِينُ
بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ قَتَلَكَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِكَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ شَايَعَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ بَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ فَرَضِيَ بِهِ
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ سَفَكُوا دَمَكَ وَ انْتَهَكُوا حُرْمَتَكَ وَ قَعَدُوا عَنْ نُصْرَتِكَ مِمَّنْ دَعَاكَ فَأَجَبْتَهُ مَلْعُونُونَ عَلَى لِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ
يَا سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ إِنْ كَانَ لَمْ يُجِبْكَ بَدَنِي عِنْدَ اسْتِغَاثَتِكَ فَقَدْ أَجَابَكَ رَأْيِي وَ هَوَايَ أَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الْحَقَّ مَعَكَ وَ أَنَّ مَنْ خَالَفَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ بَاطِلٌ فَيَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ مَعَكُمْ فَأَفُوزَ فَوْزاً عَظِيماً فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْ تَسْأَلَ اللَّهَ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ فِي ذُنُوبِي وَ أَنْ يُلْحِقَنِي بِكُمْ وَ بِشِيعَتِكُمْ وَ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَكُمْ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ وَ أَنْ يُشَفِّعَكُمْ فِي ذُنُوبِي فَإِنَّهُ قَالَ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى آبَائِكَ وَ أَوْلَادِكَ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي حَرَمِكَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
وَ عَلَى الشُّهَدَاءِ الَّذِينَ اسْتُشْهِدُوا مَعَكَ وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلَى وَلَدِكَ عَلِيٍّ الْأَصْغَرِ الَّذِي فُجِعْتَ بِهِ
Peace be on you, O' inheritor of Jesus (as) - God's Spirit! Peace be on you, O' inheritor of Muhammad (as), God's Messenger!
Peace be on you, O' inheritor of the Prophets (as) and the Commander of the Faithful (as). O' Master of the Trustees. The noblest of the forerunners. O' son of Seal of the Prophets (as).
O‟ My Master! How could you be not so? You are the Leader towards guidance, ally of piety, and one of the five people under the cloak. You were raised in the lap of Islam, you were nursed from the bosom of faith. Blessed be your life and blessed be your death! Peace be on you, O' inheritor of Al-Hassan (as) - the pure! Peace be on you, O' Aba Abdullah! Peace be on you, O' the Honest! The Martyr! Peace be on you, O' Trustee- the righteous, the pious, the content and the purified. Peace be on you, and on the souls who came and stayed in your camp, and stayed with you in your journey, struggled in the way of God with you and gave life to earn God's Pleasure. Peace be on the angels who circumambulate around you. I bear witness that there is no God but God. He is One and there are no partners for Him. I bear witness that Muhammad (as) is His servant and Prophet (as) and may His peace be on them plentifully - His servant and Prophet (as)!
I bear witness that your father Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) – the Commander of the Faithful – may God's blessings be on him – the Master of the Trustees, The Leader of those with white-foreheads2, is the Divine Leader whose obedience God ordained obligatory for all people. So is your brother Al-Hassan ibn Ali (as). So are you and the Divine Leaders (as) from your progeny. I bear witness that you established the prayers and gave charity, enjoined doing good and admonished against doing evil. You really struggled in God's way, until death took you away. I take God and you as witness that I believe in God, acknowledge Muhammad (as) and know your rights. I bear witness that indeed you delivered what the Honorable the Exalted God has ordered you to deliver, and you served him until the inevitable death tool you away. O' Aba Abdullah! May my parents be your ransom. May God's Curse be on those who killed you. May God's Curse be on those who ordered that you be killed. May God's Curse be on those who assisted them in this. May God's Curse be on those who heard this and were pleased. I bear witness that those who shed your blood, violated your sanctity, invited you but did not help you after you responded to their invitation were all damned by the unlettered Prophet (as). O' my Master and Guardian! If my body was not there to protect you when you sought help, my will and wish responded to you.
I bear witness that you were right and your opponents were wrong.
I wish I had been with you and had attained a great salvation! Therefore - O' my Master! - I ask you to ask God – exalted is His Remembrance - regarding my sins, and ask Him to let me join you and your followers, and to grant you permission to intercede on my behalf regarding my sins as God the Exalted said, "Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth?"1 May God‟s Blessings be on you, your forefathers, your progeny (as) and the angels who reside in your shrine. May God‟s Blessings be on you and them all, and on the martyrs who bear witness with you and in front of you. May God‟s Blessings be on you, on them, and on your son Ali al-Asghar for whom you were agonized."

Then extend your hands so much that your underarm can be seen and say the following, "O' God! There is no God but You! Please do not divulge my secrets, and do not dispose my defects.

Then say six units of prayers two at a time. In each unit recite the Opening Chapter once and "Say: S Ikhlass one-hundred times.
Once you are finished say the following,
يَا أَحَدُ يَا صَمَدُ يَا فَرْدُ يَا وَتْرُ يَا سَمِيعُ يَا عَلِيمُ يَا عَالِمُ يَا كَبِيرُ يَا مُتَكَبِّرُ يَا جَلِيلُ يَا جَمِيلُ يَا حَلِيمُ يَا قَوِيُّ يَا عَزِيزُ يَا مُتَعَزِّزُ يَا مُؤْمِنُ يَا مُهَيْمِنُ يَا جَبَّارُ يَا عَلِيُّ يَا مُعِينُ
يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا تَوَّابُ يَا بَاعِثُ يَا وَارِثُ يَا حَمِيدُ يَا مَجِيدُ يَا مَعْبُودُ يَا مَوْجُودُ يَا ظَاهِرُ يَا بَاطِنُ يَا أَوَّلُ يَا آخِرُ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ
وَ يَا ذَا الْعِزَّةِ وَ السُّلْطَانِ أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ هَذِهِ الْأَسْمَاءِ يَا اللَّهُ وَ بِحَقِّ أَسْمَائِكَ كُلِّهَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُفَرِّجَ عَنِّي كُلَّ هَمٍّ وَ غَمٍّ وَ كَرْبٍ وَ ضُرٍّ وَ ضِيقٍ أَنَا فِيهِ وَ تَقْضِيَ عَنِّي دَيْنِي وَ تُبَلِّغَنِي أُمْنِيَّتِي وَ تُسَهِّلَ لِي مَحَبَّتِي وَ تُيَسِّرَ لِي إِرَادَتِي وَ تُوصِلَنِي إِلَى بُغْيَتِي سَرِيعاً عَاجِلًا وَ تُعْطِيَنِي سُؤْلِي وَ مَسْأَلَتِي وَ تَزِيدَنِي فَوْقَ رَغْبَتِي وَ تَجْمَعَ خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.
I ask You to bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (as).
Please relieve me from all sorrow, sadness, grief, loss and restrictions.
Please help me pay back my debts; let me reach what I hope for, ease my troubles easily provide what I need, and let me quickly get what I need, grant my requests and my demands, and give me more than I desire.
Please grant me the best of this world and the Hereafter.
