Ziyārat Imam Ḥusayn every Friday night and day

Akhṭab Khwārazm narrated from Kaʿb al-Aḥbār that he said in a long hadith about battles and tribulations: "Indeed, al-Ḥusayn (peace be upon him) will be killed in the plains of Karbala, and the angels in the heavens will weep for him... And the place where he is buried is the best of places... And there is no prophet who did not visit it and weep for it. Every day, it is visited by angels with greetings. When it is the night of Friday or the day of Friday, seventy thousand [angels] descend to visit him and weep for him, and mention his virtue and status among them... The narrator said: I met Salmān al-Fārisī and told him this hadith, and Salmān said: Kaʿb has told you the truth."
As-Sayyid Ibn Ṭāwūs mentioned some stories related to the visitation of al-Ḥusayn (peace be upon him) on the nights of Fridays.
Al-ʿAllāmah al-Majlisī mentioned among the recommended acts for the night of Friday that it is recommended to supplicate with the supplication of the oppressed at the grave of Abī ʿAbdillāh al-Ḥusayn (peace be upon him) and it is:
اَللّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْتَزُّ بِدِينِكَ ،
Allāhumma innī aʿtazzu bi-dīnik,
O Allah, I take pride in Your religion,

وَأَكْرَمُ بِهِدَايَتِكَ ،
Wa akramu bi-hidāyatik,
And I honor Your guidance,

وَفُلانٌ يُذِلُّني بِشَرِّهِ ،
Wa fulān yunadhilnī bi-sharrih,
And so-and-so humiliates me with his evil,

وَيُهِينُني بِأَذِيَّتِهِ ،
Wa yuhīnī bi-adhiya'tih,
And insults me with his harm,

وَيَعِيبُني بِوِلاءِ أَوْلِيائِكَ ،
Wa yaʿībunī bi-wilā’ awliyā’ik,
And criticizes me for my loyalty to Your friends,

وَيَبْهَتُني بِدَعْوَاهُ ،
Wa yabhatunī bi-daʿwāh,
And slanders me with his claims,

وَقَدْ جِئْتُ إِلى مَوْضِعِ الدُّعاءِ وَضِمانِكَ الاِْجابَةِ ،
Wa qad ji’thu ilā mawḍiʿ ad-duʿāʾ wa ḍamānik al-ijābah,
And I have come to the place of supplication and Your assurance of response,

اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ،
Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā Muḥammad wa āl Muḥammad,
O Allah, bless Muḥammad and the family of Muḥammad,

وَأَعْدِني عَلَيْهِ السَّاعَةَ - السَّاعَةَ - .
Wa aʿdinī ʿalayhi as-sāʿah - as-sāʿah -
And defend me against him immediately - immediately.

Then he leans over the grave and says:
مَوْلايَ إِمامي ،
Mawlāy imāmī,
My master, my Imam,

مَظْلُومٌ إسْتَعْدى عَلى ظَالِمِهِ ،
Maẓlūmun istaʿda ʿalā ẓālimih,
The oppressed seeks aid against his oppressor,

النَّصْرَ النَّصْرَ - حتى تنقطع النفس
An-naṣra an-naṣra - ḥattā tanqaṭiʿ an-nafas

Al-Ḥājj ʿAlī al-Baghdādī narrated in the mention of his honorable meeting with the Imam of the time (may Allah hasten his noble relief) that the proof, the Qa’im (may Allah hasten his noble relief) said: "Yes, visiting al-Ḥusayn (peace be upon him) on the night of Friday is safety from the fire on the Day of Judgment."
Shaykh aṭ-Ṭūsī said: "It is recommended to visit Abī ʿAbdillāh al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī (peace be upon them) like this (i.e., for those who want to visit him while in their homeland) after performing ghusl - on Friday - and ascending to the roof of his house or in a vast area of the earth, and gesture towards him with peace, and say:

Upon you be the peace of Allah and His mercy,

بِزِيَارَتِي لَكَ بِقَلْبِي وَلِسَانِي وَجَمِيعِ جَوَارِحِي ،
Bi-ziyāratī laka bi-qalbī wa lisānī wa jamīʿ jawāriḥī,

So upon you be the blessings of Allah, His pleasure, and His mercy.

Then turn a little to your left, and turn your face to the grave of ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn, for he is at the feet of his father (peace be upon them), and greet him in the same way, then supplicate to Allah with whatever you love for your religious and worldly affairs. And pray four rak'ahs of the prayer of visitation, or six rak'ahs, or eight rak'ahs - which is the best - and the least is two rak'ahs. Then face towards the grave of Abī ʿAbdillāh (peace be upon him), and say:
أَنَا مُوَدِّعُكَ يَا مَوْلايَ وَابْنَ مَوْلايَ وَسَيِّدِي وَابْنَ سَيِّدِي ،
Anā muwaddiʿuka yā mawlāya wa ibn mawlāya wa sayyidī wa ibn sayyidī,

Wa muwaddiʿuka yā sayyidī wa ibn sayyidī yā ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn,
And I bid you farewell, O my lord and son of my lord, O ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn,

وَمُوَدِّعُكُمْ يَا سَادَاتِي يَا مَعْشَرَ الشُّهَدَاءِ ،
Wa muwaddiʿukum yā sādātī yā maʿshar ash-shuhadā’,
And I bid you farewell, O my lords, O group of martyrs,

فَعَلَيْكُمْ سَلامُ اللّهِ وَرَحْمَتُهُ وَبَركَاتُهُ وَرِضْوَانُهُ
Fa-ʿalaykum salām Allāh wa raḥmatuh wa barakātuh wa riḍwānuh

You may then offer a two-unit prayer and when you finish, you may say the following words:

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي صَلَّيْتُ وَرَكَعْتُ وَسَجَدْتُ
allahumma inni sallaytu wa raka`tu wa sajadtu
O Allah, I have offered a prayer, genuflected, and prostrated myself

لَكَ وَحْدَكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ
laka wahdaka la sharika laka
for Your sake purely without setting any partner with You

لِأَنَّ ٱلصَّلاَةَ وَٱلرُّكُوعَ وَٱلسُّجُودَ
li'anna alssalata walrruku`a walssujuda
since all prayers, genuflection, and prostration

لاَ تَكُونُ إِلاَّ لَكَ

لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱللَّهُ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ
li'annaka anta allahu la ilaha illa anta
Because You are Allah, there in n0 god save You.

وَأَبْلِغْهُمْ عَنِّي أَفْضَلَ ٱلسَّلاَمِ وَٱلتَّحِيَّةِ

and convey to them my best greetings and compliments

وَٱرْدُدْ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُمُ ٱلسَّلاَمَ

and convey to me their replies.

اَللَّهُمَّ وَهَاتَانِ ٱلرَّكْعَتَانِ

are present from me to my master

ٱلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ عَلَيْهِمَا ٱلسَّلاَمُ
alhusayni bni `aliyyin `alayhima alssalamu
al-Husayn the son of `Ali, peace be upon both of them.

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَيْهِ
allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa `alayhi
O Allah, send blessings on Muhammad and on him,

وَتَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي وَأْجُرْنِي عَلَىٰ ذٰلِكَ
wa taqabbal minni wa'jurni `ala dhalika
accept my effort, and reward me for it

بِأَفْضَلِ أَمَلِي وَرَجَائِي فِيكَ
bi'afdali amali wa raja'i fika
in the best rewarding that I anticipate and hope from You

وَفِي وَلِيِّكَ يَا وَلِيَّ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
wa fi waliyyika ya waliyya almu'minina
and from Your saint, O Guardian of the faithful!

Direct yourself towards the Ha'ir (i.e. Imam al-Husayn’s shrine) with tranquility and solemnity. As you walk, try to make short steps, for Allah the All-exalted shall record for you the reward of going on hajj (holy pilgrimage to Mecca) and going on ‘Umrah (recommended pilgrimage to Mecca). Try to be pious-hearted with tearful eyes. Repeat as many times as possible the Takbir statement (saying allahu Akbar—Allah is the Most Great), the Tahlil statement (saying la ilaha illa (a)llahu—There is no god but Allah), statements of praising Allah, statements of invoking blessings on the Holy Prophet and his Household in general and blessings on Imam al-Husayn in particular, and statements of cursing those who killed him and those who were the main reason behind it.
At the door of the Hai'r, you may stop and say the following words:


اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيراً
allahu akbaru kabiran
Allah is verily the Most Great.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيراً
walhamdu lillahi kathiran
Very much thanks is due to Allah.

وَسُبْحَانَ ٱللَّهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلاً
wa subhana allahi bukratan wa asilan
All praise be to Allah in morns and eves.

All praise is due to Allah Who has guided us to this

وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْ لاَ أَنْ هَدَانَا ٱللَّهُ
wa ma kunna linahtadiya lawla an hadana allahu
and we would not have found the way had it not been that Allah guided us.

لَقَدْ جَاءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ
laqad ja'at rusulu rabbina bilhaqqi
