ZIYARAH OF IMAM MEHDI (A) AFTER THE FAJR PRAYERS

The following form of ziyarah of our master the Patron of the Age is advisably said after every Fajr (dawn) Prayer:

اللّٰهُمَّ بَلِّغْ مَوْلايَ صَاحِبَ الزَّمَانِ صَلَوَاتُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْهِ عَنْ جَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ فِي مَشَارِقِ الْاَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبِهَا وَ بَرِّهَا وَ بَحْرِهَا وَ سَهْلِهَا وَ جَبَلِهَا حَيِّهِمْ وَ مَيِّتِهِمْ وَ عَنْ وَالِدَيَّ وَ وُلْدِي وَ عَنِّي مِنَ الصَّلَوَاتِ وَ التَّحِيَّاتِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِ اللّٰهِ وَ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ وَ مُنْتَهَى رِضَاهُ وَ عَدَدَ مَا اَحْصَاهُ كِتَابُهُ وَ اَحَاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُهُ اللّٰهُمَّ [اِنِّي‏] اُجَدِّدُ لَهُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ عَهْدا وَ عَقْدا وَ بَيْعَةً فِي رَقَبَتِي. اللّٰهُمَّ كَمَا شَرَّفْتَنِي بِهَذَا التَّشْرِيفِ وَ فَضَّلْتَنِي بِهَذِهِ الْفَضِيلَةِ وَ خَصَصْتَنِي بِهَذِهِ النِّعْمَةِ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مَوْلايَ وَ سَيِّدِي صَاحِبِ الزَّمَانِ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ اَنْصَارِهِ وَ اَشْيَاعِهِ وَ الذَّابِّينَ عَنْهُ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُسْتَشْهَدِينَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ طَائِعا غَيْرَ مُكْرَهٍ فِي الصَّفِّ الَّذِي نَعَتَّ اَهْلَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ فَقُلْتَ صَفّا كَاَنَّهُمْ بُنْيَانٌ مَرْصُوصٌ عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَ طَاعَةِ رَسُولِكَ وَ آلِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلامُ اللّٰهُمَّ هَذِهِ بَيْعَةٌ لَهُ فِي عُنُقِي اِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

In his book of Bihar al-Anwar, ‘Allamah al-Majlisi has said the following: In some ancient books, I found the following instruction mentioned after this form of ziyarah: “You may then slap your right hand on the left as if you are swearing allegiance.”

It is worth mentioning that in the previously mentioned rites at the Holy Vault, I have referred to four forms of ziyarah. This one is considered the fifth form mentioned in this book. In the first section (i.e. volume) of this book, I have also mentioned another form of ziyarah of Imam al-Mahdi (‘a) in Chapter Five: Forms of Ziyarah of the Holy Infallibles on the Days of the Week; Ziyarah on Fridays (pp. 203 of Vol. 1).
