Signifance of this ziyarah


“But as I have been hindered by the course of time, and (Allah’s) decree has prevented me from helping you, and as I could not fight those who fought you, and was not able to show hostility to those who showed hostility to you, I will, therefore, lament you morning and evening, and will weep blood in place of tears, out of my anguish for you and my sorrow for all that befell you…” —Imam al-Mahdi (ajtfs)
Of the several prescribed Ziyarat of Imam al-Husain (as), one was recited by Imam al-Mahdi (PBUH) and reached us through one of his four special deputies. For that reason, it is known as al-Muqaddasa. One of the most important features of this Ziyarat is that in different phrases, Imam al-Mahdi (as) graphically describes the events of Ashura and the agony that Imam al-Husain (as) and his family faced on that horrific and ominous day.

My Allah! Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,

وَ أوْحِشْني مِنَ الدُّنْيا
wa 'awħishnī minad-dunyā wa ānisnī bil ākhirah,
and estrange me from (the attractions of) the world, and make me familiar with (the affairs of) the hereafter.

and be for me according to the best of what I expect and believe about You, O the most generous of the generous!

O Allah! Certainly, rich is he who suffices himself with You and considers himself in need of You,

وَ الْفَقيرَ مَنِ اسْتَغْنى بِخَلْقِكَ عَنْكَ،
wal faqīra manistaghnā bikhalqika anka,
and poor is he who feels that he can suffice himself through Your creation without You.

فَصَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ،
fašalli alā muħammadin wa āli muħammad,
Thus, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,

وَ أغْنِني عَنْ خَلْقِكَ بِكَ،
wa 'aghninī an khalqika bik,
and suffice me from Your creation by Yourself,

اَللّهُمَّ إنَّ الشَّقِيَّ مَنْ قَنَطَ وَ أمامَهُ التَّوْبَةُ وَ وَرآءَهُ الرَّحْمَةُ،
allāhumma 'innash-shaqiyya man qanaţa wa 'amāmahut-tawbatu wa warā'ahur-rahmah,
My Allah! Certainly, wretched is he who despairs while repentance is placed before him and mercy is after him,

وَ إنْ كُنْتُ ضَعيفَ الْعَمَلِ فَإ نّي في رَحْمَتِكَ قَوِيُّ الأمَلِ،
wa 'in kuntu đhaīfal amali fa 'innī fī raħmatika qawiyyal 'amal,
Even though I have been weak in action, I have strong hope in Your mercy,

فَهَبْ لي ضَعْفَ عَمَلي لِقُوَّةِ أمَلي،
fahab lī đhafa amalī liquwwati 'amalī,
Thus, forgive the weakness of my action in light of the strength of my hope.

اَللّهُمَّ إنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أنْ ما في عِبادِكَ مَنْ هُوَ أقْسى قَلْباً مِنّي وَ أعْظَمُ مِنّي ذَنْباً،
allāhumma 'in kunta talamu 'an mā fī 'ibādika man huwa 'aqsā qalban minnī wa 'ađamu minnī dhanbā,
O Allah! Even if You know there is no one amongst Your servants with harder heart and greater sins than mine,

فَإ نّي أعْلَمُ أنَّهُ لا مَوْلى أعْظَمُ مِنْكَ طَوْلا،
fa 'innī 'alamu 'annahu lā mawlā 'ađamu minka ţawlā,
I certainly know that there is no master more generous than You,

وَ أوْسَعُ رَحْمَةً وَ عَفْواً،
wa 'awsau raħmatan wa afwā,
with greater mercy and forgiveness.

فَيا مَنْ هُوَ أوْحَدُ في رَحْمَتِهِ،

O Allah! Certainly, You commanded us, but we have disobeyed,

وَ نَهَيْتَ فَمَا انْتَهَيْنا،

forbade us, but we did not desist,

وَ ذَكَّرْتَ فَتَناسَيْنا،

and warned us, but we transgressed.

وَ ما كانَ ذلِكَ جَزآءَ إحْسانِكَ إلَيْنا،
wa mā kāna dhālika jazā'a 'ihsānika 'ilaynā,
This was not the repayment of Your kindness to us,

زادَ اللهُ في شَرَفِكُمْ، وَ السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَ بَرَكاتُهُ.

May Allah increase your honor. Peace be upon you, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings.

In the year 252 A.H. when I was a small child and my father – may God have mercy on him – perished, I received the following pilgrimage supplications for my master Al-Hussein (as) and the martyrs from Al-Sheikh Muhammad ibn Qalib al-Isfahany.
"In the Name of God, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. When you decide to recite the pilgrimage supplications of Al-Hussein– may God be pleased with him - stop at the position of his head that is the shrine of Ali ibn al-Hussein (as). Then turn your face towards the Qibla where the martyrs are buried and first point to Ali ibn al-Hussein (as) and say the following:

O' my son! How daring they are to the Merciful and how much do they violate the respect for the Prophet (as)! Woe be upon the world after you! It is just as if I see you standing in front of him and say the following to the atheists:
"I am Al-Hussein ibn Ali. By God we – the Household of God are closest to the Prophet.
I shall push the spears into your body so much that they bend down, and shall hit you with the sword in support of my father. I swear by God that with the blows of young Arab Hashemites, the one born of adultery cannot rule over us.”

Even if I do not have a weapon with which to fight with them, I shall throw stones at them. I shall not leave you until I die with you and be the first one to sacrifice his life and be the first one martyred to see God and lose my life for Him.” I swear by the Lord of the Ka'ba that God shall thank you for your perseverance and sympathy with your leader who came to you when you had fallen down and said, “O‟ Muslim ibn Uwsaja! May God have mercy on you. Then he recited "…of them some have completed their vow (to the extreme), and some (still) wait: but they have never changed (their determination) in the least:

Now, how can I leave when I know that I shall only die or be killed once, and shall benefit from an honor that shall never end.” Yes.

May God resurrect us with you amongst the martyrs and bless us with their companionship in the highest rank!

Back ground and Notes Ziyārah al-Shuhadāʾ (Arabic:زيارة الشهداء) or Ziyārah al-Nāḥiya Ghayr al-Mashhūra (زيارة الناحية غير المشهورة) is among ziyaratnamas which al-Sayyid b. Tawus has mentioned in Iqbal al-a'mal among recommended practices for the Day of 'Ashura'. This ziyarah contains the names of the martyrs of Karbala and begins with, "Peace be upon the first one martyred from the best of descendants".[1] Before al-Sayyid b. Tawus, this ziyarah was mentioned in al-Shaykh al-Mufid's al-Mazar[2] and Ibn al-Mashhadi's al-Mazar al-kabir.[3] Content In this ziyarah, after a brief greeting to Imam al-Husayn (a), the names of all martyrs of Karbala are mentioned and greetings are sent, then their killers are mentioned and curses are sent to them.
This ziyarah, including some additions such as the ziyarah of Imam al-Husayn (a), Ali Akbar (a) and some other martyrs, is mentioned among recommended practices for the first day of Rajab and the eve of Sha'ban 15th as al-Ziyarah al-Rajabiyya of Imam al-Husayn (a). Al-Ziyarah al-Rajabiyya may be an independent ziyarah.
Chain of Transmission
This ziyarah is mentioned in al-Sayyid b. Tawus's Iqbal al-a'mal, al-Mazar al-kabir and Misbah al-za'ir, but it is not mentioned in old references such as Kamil al-ziyarat and Misbah al-mutahajjid.[4]
Al-Sayyid b. Tawus quoted from his grandfather, al-Shaykh al-Tusi from Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad b. Ahmad b. al-'Ayyash from Abu Mansur b. 'Abd al-Mun'im b. Nu'man al-Baghdadi that this ziyarah was given by Imam (a) to al-Shaykh Muhammad b. Ghalib al-Isfahani in 252/866. Since only two transmitters are mentioned between the time of al-Shaykh al-Tusi (d. 460/1067) and the time of the Minor Occultation (260/874-329/940-1), it is possible that some transmitters of this hadith have been missed. The names of 72 martyrs of Karbala and 8 other martyred companions of Imam (a) such as Muslim b. 'Aqil and the names of their killers are mentioned in this ziyarah. Al-'Allama al-Majlisi has mentioned this ziyarah in Bihar al-anwar.[5] In Ansar al-Husayn (a), Muhammad Mahdi Shams al-Din has not considered the chain of transmission of this ziyarah in al-Sayyid b. Tawus's Iqbal valid due to transmission of two unknown persons and a weak person. The chain of transmission of this ziyarah in Bihar al-anwar quoted from Ibn al-Mashhadi's al-Mazar al-kabir has the same problem.[6]
With regards to the date of issuance of this ziyarah in 252/866,[7] it must have been issued either by Imam al-Hadi (a) (martyred in 254/868) or Imam al-Hasan al-'Askari (a), not Imam al-Mahdi (a), because that time, he (a) was not born yet.[8]
