ZIYARAH AL JAMIAH AL SAGHEERAH

In his book of man-la-yahzuruhul-faqih, Shaykh al-Saduq has reported that Imam al-Rida (‘a) was once asked about the way of visiting Imam Musa al-Kazim (‘a). He answered, “You may pray in the mosques surrounding his tomb. It is however acceptable to say the following (form of ziyarah) at all shrines.”

This apparently means that it is acceptable to say this form of ziyarah at visiting the holy shrines of the Imams (‘a) or even all other holy shrines, like these of the Prophets and the Prophets’ successors:

السَّلامُ عَلَى اَوْلِيَاءِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَصْفِيَائِهِ السَّلامُ عَلَى اُمَنَاءِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَحِبَّائِهِ السَّلامُ عَلَى اَنْصَارِ اللّٰهِ وَ خُلَفَائِهِ السَّلامُ عَلَى مَحَالِّ مَعْرِفَةِ اللّٰهِ السَّلامُ عَلَى مَسَاكِنِ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ السَّلامُ عَلَى مُظْهِرِي اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ وَ نَهْيِهِ السَّلامُ عَلَى الدُّعَاةِ اِلَى اللّٰهِ السَّلامُ عَلَى الْمُسْتَقِرِّينَ فِي مَرْضَاةِ اللّٰهِ السَّلامُ عَلَى الْمُخْلِصِينَ فِي طَاعَةِ اللّٰهِ السَّلامُ عَلَى الْاَدِلاءِ عَلَى اللّٰهِ السَّلامُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مَنْ وَالاهُمْ فَقَدْ وَالَى اللّٰهَ وَ مَنْ عَادَاهُمْ فَقَدْ عَادَى اللّٰهَ، وَ مَنْ عَرَفَهُمْ فَقَدْ عَرَفَ اللّٰهَ وَ مَنْ جَهِلَهُمْ فَقَدْ جَهِلَ اللّٰهَ وَ مَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِهِمْ فَقَدِ اعْتَصَمَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ مَنْ تَخَلَّى مِنْهُمْ فَقَدْ تَخَلَّى مِنَ اللّٰهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اُشْهِدُ اللّٰهَ اَنِّي سِلْمٌ لِمَنْ سَالَمْتُمْ وَ حَرْبٌ لِمَنْ حَارَبْتُمْ مُؤْمِنٌ بِسِرِّكُمْ وَ عَلانِيَتِكُمْ مُفَوِّضٌ فِي ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ اِلَيْكُمْ لَعَنَ اللّٰهُ عَدُوَّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْاِنْسِ وَ اَبْرَاُ اِلَى اللّٰهِ مِنْهُمْ وَ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ.

This form of ziyarah has been mentioned in the books of al-Kafi, Tahdhib al-Ahkam, and Kamil al-Ziyarah. In all of these books, it has been mentioned that this form of ziyarah may substitute all other forms.
You may then invoke Almighty Allah’s blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household, by mentioning their names respectively. You may also invoke Almighty Allah’s curse on their enemies and then pray Him for any thing you wish for yourself as well as the believing men and women.
Apparently, the previously mentioned paragraph is part of the reported tradition and, thus, part of the Infallible Imam’s words.
However, even if we suppose that this paragraph has not been part of the report and that it is an addition said by some reporters, we are still sure that the aforesaid form of ziyarah is comprehensive. Therefore, our master scholars of hadith, depending upon the introductory part of the report, have decided that this form of ziyarah can be said in all holy shrines. As a result, they have added it up to the comprehensive forms of ziyarah. Moreover, the statements of this form entail comprehensive descriptions that are not dedicated to a certain Imam. It is therefore appropriate to say this form during visiting any of the holy shrines, including those of the Prophets and their successors, since some scholars have mentioned this form to be said at visiting the holy shrine of Prophet Jonah.
In the last paragraph of the tradition, the Imam (‘a) has ordered us to invoke blessings upon the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s) and his Household and to mention their names one after another. It is therefore very fitting to say the form of invoking blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household, which is ascribed to Abu’l-Hasan al-Darrab and which has been previously cited in the recommended acts on Fridays
