Ziyarat Special for 15 Shaban
DESCRIPTION: There are two forms of Ziarat for the fifteenth of Sha`ban. The first form is the same as Ziyarah on the first of Rajab, and the second as in the book of ‘al-Balad al-Amin’, Shaykh al-Kaf`amiy has reported Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) as saying that one may stop at the holy tomb of Imam al-Husayn (a.s) and say the following:
الحَمْدُ للهِ العَلِيِّ العَظِيمِ وَالسَّلامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهاالعَبْدُ الصَّالِحِ الزَّكِيِّ أُودِعُكَ شَهادَةً مِنِّي تُقَرِّبُنِي إِلَيْكَ فِي يَوْمِ شَفاعَتِكَ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قُتِلْتَ وَلَمْ تَمُتْ بَلْ بِرَجاءِ حَياتِكَ حَيِيَتْ قُلُوبُ شِيعَتِكَ وَبِضِياءِ نُورِكَ اهْتَدى الطَّالِبُونَ إِلَيْكَ، وأَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ نُورُ الله الَّذِي لَمْ يُطْفَأْ وَلايُطْفَأْ أَبَداً وأَنَّكَ وَجْهُ الله الّذِي لَمْ يُهْلَكْ وَلايُهْلَكُ أَبَداً، وأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ هذِهِ التُّرْبَةَ تُرْبَتُكَ وَهذا الحَرَمَ حَرَمُكَ وَهذاالمَصْرَعَ مَصْرَعُ بَدَنِكَ لاذَلِيلَ وَالله مُعِزُّكَ وَلا مَغْلُوبَ وَالله ناصِرُكَ ؛ هذِهِ شَهادَةٌ لِي عِنْدَكَإِلى يَوْمِ قَبْضِ رُوحِي بِحَضْرَتِكَ وَالسَّلامُ عَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكاتُهُ
TranslationAll praise be to Allah; the Most High, the All-great.
Peace be upon you; O the righteous, pure servant (of Allah).
I entrust with you a testimony of mine that takes me near you on the day of your intercession (for some people).
I bear witness that although you were slain, you have not died;
Rather the hearts of your adherents (Shi`ah) are living on the hope of your being alive;
And by the light of your illumination have those seeking you been guided (to the right path).
And I bear witness that you are verily the Light of Allah that has not and shall never be extinguished.
And you are verily the Face of Allah that has not and shall never be perishing.
And I bear witness that this soil is yours,
And this holy precinct is yours.
And this death is the death of your body only,
While you have never been humiliated since Allah is the One Who is pouring honor upon you
And you have never been defeated since Allah is the One Who is supporting you.
I would like you to keep this testimony of mine with you up to the day when my soul will be grasped in the presence of you.
Peace and Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you.
