ZIYARAH OF THE IMAMS IN AL BAQI : AL HASAN AL MUJTABA, ALI ZAYN AL ABIDIN, MUHAMMAD AL BAQIR, AND JAFAR AL SADIQ
When you intend to visit the Holy Imams in al-Baqi’ Cemetery, you may begin with the aforementioned general etiquettes (bathing oneself, being ceremonially pure, putting on clean dresses, perfuming oneself, asking for permission… etc.) and then say the following:
يَا مَوَالِيَّ يَا اَبْنَاءَ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ عَبْدُكُمْ وَ ابْنُ اَمَتِكُمُ الذَّلِيلُ بَيْنَ اَيْدِيكُمْ وَ الْمُضْعِفُ [الْمُضْعَفُ] فِي عُلُوِّ قَدْرِكُمْ وَ الْمُعْتَرِفُ بِحَقِّكُمْ جَاءَكُمْ مُسْتَجِيرا بِكُمْ قَاصِدا اِلَى حَرَمِكُمْ مُتَقَرِّبا اِلَى مَقَامِكُمْ مُتَوَسِّلا اِلَى اللّٰهِ تَعَالَى بِكُمْ اَ اَدْخُلُ يَا مَوَالِيَّ اَ اَدْخُلُ يَا اَوْلِيَاءَ اللّٰهِ اَ اَدْخُلُ يَا مَلائِكَةَ اللّٰهِ الْمُحْدِقِينَ بِهَذَا الْحَرَمِ الْمُقِيمِينَ بِهَذَا الْمَشْهَدِ،
After you attain reverence, submission, and tenderheartedness, you may enter the shrine with your right foot, and say the following:
اللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ كَبِيرا وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرا وَ سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ بُكْرَةً وَ اَصِيلا وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الْفَرْدِ الصَّمَدِ الْمَاجِدِ الْاَحَدِ الْمُتَفَضِّلِ الْمَنَّانِ الْمُتَطَوِّلِ الْحَنَّانِ الَّذِي مَنَّ بِطَوْلِهِ وَ سَهَّلَ زِيَارَةَ سَادَاتِي بِاِحْسَانِهِ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي عَنْ زِيَارَتِهِمْ مَمْنُوعا بَلْ تَطَوَّلَ وَ مَنَحَ.
You may then move toward their tombs, face them, turn the back to the kiblah direction, and say the following:
السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ اَئِمَّةَ الْهُدَى السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ اَهْلَ التَّقْوَى السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ اَيُّهَا الْحُجَجُ عَلَى اَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ اَيُّهَا الْقُوَّامُ فِي الْبَرِيَّةِ بِالْقِسْطِ السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ اَهْلَ الصَّفْوَةِ السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ آلَ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ اَهْلَ النَّجْوَى اَشْهَدُ اَنَّكُمْ قَدْ بَلَّغْتُمْ وَ نَصَحْتُمْ وَ صَبَرْتُمْ فِي ذَاتِ اللّٰهِ وَ كُذِّبْتُمْ وَ اُسِيءَ اِلَيْكُمْ فَغَفَرْتُمْ وَ اَشْهَدُ اَنَّكُمُ الْاَئِمَّةُ الرَّاشِدُونَ الْمُهْتَدُونَ وَ اَنَّ طَاعَتَكُمْ مَفْرُوضَةٌ وَ اَنَّ قَوْلَكُمُ الصِّدْقُ وَ اَنَّكُمْ دَعَوْتُمْ فَلَمْ تُجَابُوا وَ اَمَرْتُمْ فَلَمْ تُطَاعُوا وَ اَنَّكُمْ دَعَائِمُ الدِّينِ وَ اَرْكَانُ الْاَرْضِ، لَمْ تَزَالُوا بِعَيْنِ اللّٰهِ يَنْسَخُكُمْ مِنْ اَصْلابِ كُلِّ مُطَهَّرٍ وَ يَنْقُلُكُمْ مِنْ اَرْحَامِ الْمُطَهَّرَاتِ لَمْ تُدَنِّسْكُمُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةُ الْجَهْلاءُ وَ لَمْ تَشْرَكْ فِيكُمْ فِتَنُ الْاَهْوَاءِ طِبْتُمْ وَ طَابَ مَنْبِتُكُمْ مَنَّ بِكُمْ عَلَيْنَا دَيَّانُ الدِّينِ فَجَعَلَكُمْ فِي بُيُوتٍ اَذِنَ اللّٰهُ اَنْ تُرْفَعَ وَ يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اسْمُهُ وَ جَعَلَ صَلاتَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ رَحْمَةً لَنَا وَ كَفَّارَةً لِذُنُوبِنَا اِذِ اخْتَارَكُمُ اللّٰهُ لَنَا وَ طَيَّبَ خَلْقَنَا بِمَا مَنَّ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ وِلايَتِكُمْ وَ كُنَّا عِنْدَهُ مُسَمِّينَ بِعِلْمِكُمْ مُعْتَرِفِينَ بِتَصْدِيقِنَا اِيَّاكُمْ وَ هَذَا مَقَامُ مَنْ اَسْرَفَ وَ اَخْطَاَ وَ اسْتَكَانَ وَ اَقَرَّ بِمَا جَنَى وَ رَجَا بِمَقَامِهِ الْخَلاصَ وَ اَنْ يَسْتَنْقِذَهُ بِكُمْ مُسْتَنْقِذُ الْهَلْكَى مِنَ الرَّدَى فَكُونُوا لِي شُفَعَاءَ، فَقَدْ وَفَدْتُ اِلَيْكُمْ اِذْ رَغِبَ عَنْكُمْ اَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا وَ اتَّخَذُوا آيَاتِ اللّٰهِ هُزُوا وَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا عَنْهَا
You may then raise your head toward the sky and say the following:
يَا مَنْ هُوَ قَائِمٌ لا يَسْهُو وَ دَائِمٌ لا يَلْهُو وَ مُحِيطٌ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ لَكَ الْمَنُّ بِمَا وَفَّقْتَنِي وَ عَرَّفْتَنِي بِمَا اَقَمْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ اِذْ صَدَّ عَنْهُ عِبَادُكَ وَ جَهِلُوا مَعْرِفَتَهُ وَ اسْتَخَفُّوا بِحَقِّهِ وَ مَالُوا اِلَى سِوَاهُ فَكَانَتِ الْمِنَّةُ مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ مَعَ اَقْوَامٍ خَصَصْتَهُمْ بِمَا خَصَصْتَنِي بِهِ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ اِذْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَكَ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا مَذْكُورا مَكْتُوبا فَلا تَحْرِمْنِي مَا رَجَوْتُ وَ لا تُخَيِّبْنِي فِيمَا دَعَوْتُ بِحُرْمَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ.
You may now pray Almighty Allah for anything you want.
In Tahdhib al-Ahkam, Shaykh al-Tusi says: You may then offer the Ziyarah Prayer (salat al-ziyarah) in eight units; each two units are for one of the (four) Imams.
Shaykh al-Tusi and Sayyid Ibn Tawus say that if you want to bid farewell to the four Imams, you may say the following:
السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ اَئِمَّةَ الْهُدَى وَ رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ اَسْتَوْدِعُكُمُ اللّٰهَ وَ اَقْرَاُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلامُ آمَنَّا بِاللّٰهِ وَ بِالرَّسُولِ وَ بِمَا جِئْتُمْ بِهِ وَ دَلَلْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ اللّٰهُمَّ فَاكْتُبْنَا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ.
You may then supplicate Almighty Allah as earnestly as possible and pray Him to grant you another opportunity to visit these holy tombs.
It is worth mentioning that in Bihar al-Anwar, ‘Allamah al-Majlisi has cited another lengthy form of ziyarah of these four Imams (‘a). Rather, I will mention no more than the foresaid forms. As a matter of fact, the most favorable form of ziyarah, in the words of ‘Allamah al-Majlisi and other scholars, is the so-called al-Ziyarah al-Jami’ah (the comprehensive), which will be cited in this book.
In the first section of this book, I have cited other forms of ziyarah of Imam al-Hasan (‘a) on Mondays and the three Imams (‘a) altogether on Tuesdays. Therefore, ignore not these forms.
Although I usually mention a form of invocation of blessings along with the forms of ziyarah that are relegated to each Imam, I have not mentioned such a form for the Holy Imams (‘a) whom are buried at al-Baqi’ Cemetery. Rather, I will mention such a form at the end of this section of Ziyarahs. Therefore, refer to it there so that you will add to your good deeds and increase your rewards through invoking Almighty Allah’s blessings on these immaculate Imams (‘a).
