Ziyārah of Maytham al-Tammār

اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أيُّهَا الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ يَا مَيثَمَ بِنَ يَحيَى التَمَّار

alssalāmu `alayka ayyuhā al`abdu alssālihu ya maytham ibna yahya al-tammār

Peace be upon you, O righteous servant (of Allāh), O Maytham son of Yahya al-Tammār

المُطِيعُ لله وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِأَمِيرِ المُؤمِنِينَ وَلِفَاطِمَةَ وَالحَسَنِ وَالحُسَينِ(صَلَوَاتُ الله وَسَلَامُهُ عَلَيهِم)

almutee’u lillāhi wa lirasulihi wa li'amiri almu’minina wa li fāṭima walhasani walhusayni ṣalawātullahi wa salāmuhu `alayhim

who acted obediently for the sake of Allāh, His Messenger, the Commander of the Faithful, Fāṭima, al-Ḥasan, and Al-Ḥusayn, peace be upon them.

أشْهَدُ أنَّكَ قَدْ أقَمْتَ الصَّلاَةَ وَآتَيْتَ الزَّكَاةَ وَأمَرْتَ بِالمَْعْرُوفِ وَنَهَيْتَ عَنِ المُْنْكَرِ

ashhadu annaka qad aqamta alssalāta wa ātayta alzzakāta wa amarta bilma`rufi wa nahayta `an almunkari

I bear witness that you performed the prayers, defrayed the poor-rate, enjoined the right, forbade the wrong,

وَجَاهَدْتَ فِي الله حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ وَعَمِلْتَ بِكِتَابِهِ مُقْتَدِيَاً بِالصَّالحِيِنَ وَمُتَّبِعَاً لِلنَبِيِّين

wa jāhadta fi allāhi haqqa jihādihi wa `amilta bi kitābihi muqtadiyan bil ṣāliḥīn wa muttabi`an lil nabiyyīn

strove in the way of Allāh as it ought to be striven, and abided by His book, following in the footsteps of the pious ones and adhering (to the teachings) of the prophets

وأشْهَدُ أنَّكَ قُتِلْتَ مَظْلُوماً شَهِيدَاً فَلَعَنَ الله مَنْ ظَلَمَكَ وَمَنْ إِفَتَرَى عَلَيْكَ

wa ashhadu annaka qutilta maẓlūman shahīdan fa la`anallahu man ẓalamaka wa man iftara `alaya

I bear witness that you were martyred unjustly, may Allāh curse those who oppressed you and accused you falsely

وَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ نَصَبَ لَكَ العَدَاوَةَ وَالبَغْضَاءَ إِلَى يَوْمِ القِيَامَةِ وَحَشَا اللهُ قُبُورَهَم نَارَاً وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابَاً أَلِيماً

wa la`anallahu man nasaba lakal `adāwata bal baghdā’ ila yawmil qiyāma wa ḥasha quburahom nāran wa`a`dda lahom `athāban `alīma

May Allāh curse your enemies till the Day of Judgement and may He fill their graves with fire and prepare for them a painful punishment

جِئْتُكَ أَيُّهَا العَبْدُ الصَالِحُ زَائِرَاً قَبْرَكَ مُقِرَّاً بِحَقِّكَ مُعْتَرِفَاً بِفَضْلِكَ

ji`tuka ayyuhal `abdul ṣāliḥu za`iran qabraka muqirran bi ḥaqqika mu`tarifan bi fadlik

I have come to you O’ pious servant, visiting your grave while recognising your right and adhering to your grace

أَسْأَلُ اللهَ بِالشَأْنِ الذِي لَكَ عِنْدَهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

as’alu allāha bilshsha’ni alladhi laka `indahu an yusalliya `alā muḥammadin wa āli muḥammadin

I ask Allāh in the name of the standing that you enjoy with Him to send his blessings upon Muḥammad and his family

وَأَنْ يَقْضِيَ حَوَائِجَنَا فِي الدُنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَيَجْمَعَنَا وَإِيَّاكُم فِي زُمْرَةِ الفَائِزِينَ مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ الطَاهِرِينَ

wa an yaqdi ḥawa`ijana fil dunya wal `ākhira wa yajma`ana wa iyyakum fi zumrat alfa`izīn ma`muḥammadin wa `aalihi altāhirīn

and fulfil our needs in this world and the next, and unite us amongst the successful ones with Muḥammad and his purified household

وَاَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الشَّهِيدُ وَرَحْمَةُ الله وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

wasalamu `alayka ayyuhal shahīdu wa raḥmatullahi wa barakatuh

Peace and blessings be upon you O martyr

You may then offer a two-unit prayer and present it as a gift to Maytham al-Tammār.
