This form of ziy�rah can be said during visiting all the Holy Imams in all months and days. In his book of Mi�b�� al-Z�'ir, Sayyid Ibn ��w�s has reported this form of ziy�rah from the Holy Imams along with certain etiquettes, including supplications and a prayer that is offered at leaving for the pilgrimage to the shrines of the Holy Imams. He then added: If you intend to bathe yourself for performing the ziy�rah, you may say the following words while bathing yourself:

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ وَبِٱللَّهِ

bismi all�hi wa bill�hi

In the Name of Allah (I begin), in Allah (I trust),

وَفِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ

wa f� sab�li all�hi

in the way of Allah (I proceed),

وَعَلَىٰ مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ

and on the creed of the Messenger of Allah.

اَللَّهُمَّ ٱغْسِلْ عَنِّي دَرَنَ ٱلذُّنُوبِ

all�humma ighsil `ann� darana aldhdhun�bi

O Allah, (please do) cleanse me from the filth of sins

and the dirt of defects,

وَطَهِّرْنِي بِمَاءِ ٱلتَّوْبَةِ

wa �ahhirn� bim�'i alttawbati

purify me with the water of repentance,

وَالْبِسْنِي رِدَاءَ ٱلْعِصْمَةِ

wa albisn� rid�'a al`i�mati

dress me the garb of protection (against sinning),

وَايِّدْنِي بِلُطْفٍ مِنْكَ يُوَفِّقُنِي لِصَالِحِ ٱلاعْمَالِ

wa ayyidn� bilu�fin minka yuwaffiqun� li��li�i al-a`m�li

and aid me with Your compassion on account of which You may lead me to (doing) righteous deeds.

إِنَّكَ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

innaka dh� alfa�li al`a��mi

You are verily the Lord of great favor.

When you approach the gate of the shrine, you may say the following words:

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي وَفَّقَنِي لِقَصْدِ وَلِيِّهِ

thus, He has not deprived me of the opportunity to visit the tomb of him

وَٱلنُّزُولِ بِعَقْوَةِ مُغَيَّبِهِ

walnnuz�li bi`aqwati mughayyabih�

and to stay at the patio of his shrine

al�amdu lill�hi alladh� lam yasimn� bi�irm�ni m� ammaltuh�

has not prevented me against that for which I have longed

وَلاَ قَطَعَ رَجَائِي فِيمَا تَوَقَّعْتُهُ

and has not disappointed me as regards that which I have anticipated;

rather, He has dressed me good health from Him,

وَذٰلِكَ بِمَا طَرَّقَتْ لَهُمُ ٱلْفَسَقَةُ ٱلْغُوَاةُ وَٱلْحَسَدَةُ ٱلْبُغَاةُ

wa dh�lika bim� �arraqat lahumu alfasaqatu alghuw�tu wal�asadatu albugh�tu

alladh�na a�abb� `al� alnnif�qi wa akabb� `al� `al�'iqi alshshiq�q

It is they who embraced hypocrisy and buckled down to dissension.

فَلَمَّا مَضَىٰ ٱلْمُصْطَفَىٰ صَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ ٱخْتَطَفُوٱ ٱلْغِرَّةَ وَٱنْتَهَزُوٱ ٱلْفُرْصَةَ وَٱنْتَهَكُوٱ ٱلْحُرْمَةَ

falamm� ma�� almu��af� �all� all�hu `alayhi wa �lih� ikhta�af� alghirrata wa intahaz� alfur�ata wa intahak� al�urmata

So, when the Chosen Prophet, Allah�s peace be upon him and his Household, passed away, they seized the opportunity, took the occasion, and violated the sanctity.

They left him bed-ridden

and hurried to preach their allegiance, break the covenants that had been confirmedly taken from them,

wa abat an ta�milah� wa �amalah� al-ins�nu al��al�mu aljah�lu

but they (i.e. the mountains) refused to undergo; rather, man, the wronging and ignorant, accepted to assume it.

ذُو ٱلشِّقَاقِ وَٱلْعِزَّةِ بِٱلآثَامِ ٱلْمُولِمَةِ

dh� alshshiq�qi wal`izzati bil-��h�mi alm�limati

wal-anafati `an alinqiy�di li�am�di al`�qibati

and disdaining from submission to that whose end result is praiseworthy.

فَحُشِرَ سِفْلَةُ ٱلاعْرَابِ وَبَقَايَا ٱلاحْزَابِ إِلَىٰ دَارِ ٱلنُّبُوَّةِ وَٱلرِّسَالَةِ

fa�ushira siflatu al-a`r�bi wa baq�y� al-a�z�bi il� d�ri alnnubuwwati walrris�lati

Hence, the lowly Bedouins and the rest of the parties (who had allied each other against the Holy Prophet) were gathered to the abode of the prophethood, Divine Message,

وَمَهْبِطِ ٱلْوَحْيِ وَٱلْمَلاَئِكَةِ

wa mahbi�i alwa�yi walmal�'ikati

Divine Revelation and angels,

وَمُسْتَقَرِّ سُلْطَانِ ٱلْوِلاَيَةِ

wa mustaqarri sul��ni alwil�yati

wa ma`dini alwa�iyyati walkhil�fati wal-im�mati

and the core of the Prophet�s successorship, inheritance, and Imamate.

�att� naqa�� `ahda almu��af� f� akh�hi `alami alhud�

They therefore preached the covenant (that they had made) to the Chosen Prophet as regards the leadership of his brother, the sign of true guidance (namely, Imam `Al�)

وَٱلْمُبَيِّنِ طَرِيقَ ٱلنَّجَاةِ مِنْ طُرُقِ ٱلرَّدَىٰ

walmubayyini �ar�qa alnnaj�ti min �uruqi alrrad�

who alone can distinguish the path of salvation from these of perdition,

wa jara�� kabida khayri alwar� f� �ulmi ibnatih� wa i��ih�di �ab�batih�

and they injured the heart of the best of beings (namely, the Holy Prophet) when they oppressed and wronged his daughter; the much-loved one to him,

وَٱهْتِضَامِ عَزِيزَتِهِ بَضْعَةِ لَحْمِهِ وَفِلْذَةِ كَبِدِهِ

wa ihti��mi `az�zatih� ba�`ati la�mih� wa fildhati kabidih�

aggrieved his dearest one; the part of his flesh and the piece of his heart,

wa khadhal� ba`lah� wa �aghghar� qadrah�

disappointed her husband, belittled him,

defied their (obligatory) obedience to him, denied his leadership (over them),

وَاطْمَعُوٱ ٱلْعَبِيدَ فِي خِلاَفَتِهِ

wa a�ma`� al`ab�da f� khil�fatih�

gave even the slaves the opportunity to seize his position of leadership,

وَقَادُوهُ إِلَىٰ بَيْعَتِهِمْ مُصْلِتَةً سُيُوفَهَا مُقْذِعَةً اسِنَّتَهَا

wa q�d�hu il� bay`atihim mu�litatan suy�fah� muqdhi`atan asinnatah�

وَهُوَ سَاخِطُ ٱلْقَلْبِ هَائِجُ ٱلْغَضَبِ

wa huwa s�khi�u alqalbi h�'iju algha�abi

while he was extremely irritated and enormously wrathful,

شَدِيدُ ٱلصَّبْرِ كَاظِمُ ٱلْغَيْظِ

shad�du al��abri k��imu alghay�i

but very patient and self-possessed.

yad`�nah� il� bay`atihim allat� `amma sh�muh� al-isl�ma

wa �arrafat alqur'�na wa baddalat al-a�k�ma wa ghayyarat almaq�ma

You may then kiss the tomb and say the following words:

بِابِي انْتُمْ وَامِّي يَا آلَ ٱلْمُصْطَفَىٰ

bi'ab� antum wa umm� y� �la almu��af�

May Allah accept my father and mother as ransoms for you, O Household of the Chosen Prophet.

So, we ask Allah to witness for us that we have participated with your allies and supporters

وَرَحْمَةُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

wa ra�matu all�hi wa barak�tuh�

Allah�s mercy and blessings, too, be upon you.

You may then stand between the tomb and the kiblah direction and say the following words:

created, and originated under the shadow of magnificence.

فَنَطَقَتْ شَوَاهِدُ صُنْعِكَ فِيهِ

fana�aqat shaw�hidu �un`ika f�hi

So, the witnesses of Your making in it have witnessed

بِانَّكَ انْتَ ٱللَّهُ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ انْتَ

bi'annaka anta all�hu l� il�ha ill� anta

that You are Allah; there is no god save You,

the Maker, Creator, and Originator of it.

wa l� listi`�natin minka `al� alkhalqi ba`dah�

and not for the reason that it may help You create more after it.

بَلْ انْشَاتَهُ لِيَكُونَ دَلِيلاً عَلَيْكَ

bal ansha'tah� liyak�na dal�lan `alayka

Rather, You have formed it so that it would act as proof

بِانَّكَ بَائِنٌ مِنَ ٱلصُّنْعِ

(on the fact) that You are too far above being made.
