Ziyaraat of Imam Hussein (a.s) on 1st & 15th Rajab and 15th Sha’aban

This Ziyaraat is for first day of Rajab, 15th day of Rajab and 15th day of Sha’aban. It is related from Imam Sadiq (a.s) that one who performs the Ziyaraat of Imam Hussein (a.s) on first day of Rajab would be forgiven by Allah. It is narrated from Ibne Abi Nasr that he asked Imam Reza (a.s) what was the best time for the Ziyaraat of Imam Hussein (a.s). He (a.s) replied: 15th day of Rajab and 15th day of Sha’aban.

Shaykh Mufeed (r.a) and Seyyed Ibne Tavoos (r.a) have mentioned that this Ziyaraat is for first day of Rajab and 15th day of Sha’aban, but Shaheed (r.a) has prescribed it for first eve of Rajab, eve and day of 15th day of Rajab and 15th day of Sha’aban. Thus according to him this Ziyaraat is for six occasions. The method of this Ziyaraat is like this: When you want to perform the Ziyaraat of Imam Hussein (a.s) on these occasions, perform ghusl, wear ritually pure clothes and stand at the door of the Shrine facing the qibla and salute the Holy Prophet (PBUH), Ali (a.s), Hazrat Fatimah (a.s), Imam Hassan (a.s) and Imam Hussein (a.s) and other Imams (a.s). After this recite the Dua’a for permission to enter and then enter. Stand near the Zari and say ALLAAHO AKBAR 100 times. Then recite:

Peace be on you, O the son of the Messenger of Allah!

Peace be on you, O the son of the Last Prophet!

I bear witness that, verily, the foundation of the Arsh shuddered and jolted when your blood spilled over the sand and every living being shivered and trembled; the heavens and the earth, the dwellers of Paradise, the inhabitants of land and waters, one and all, were in tears, sad and troubled.

Blessings of Allah be on you, count and measure of which Allah alone knows.

Here I am for your service O he who invited the people unto Allah.

Although I could not put myself (bodily) at your disposal when you asked for help, and could not declare my readiness to help you when you sought support, but my mind and soul, my understanding and insight, are at your beck and call.

Glory be to our Lord, that the promise of our Lord is certainly fulfilled I bear witness that you are pure purity purified; and the offspring of purified pure purity, you are pure and the land where you are present is rendered pure, and the earth wherein you are resting has been purified, and also your Holy “Haram”. I bear witness that, verily, you justly and fairly dealt with people, and advised them to adhere to justice and fair play.

Verily, you are the truthful who kept his word, told the truth and proved true that unto which you invited the people.

Verily, you stood up for Allah in the earth, I bear witness that, verily you fulfilled the task for which you were commissioned by Allah by your grandfather, the Messenger of Allah, by your father, the Amir al-Muminin by your brother, Hassan; gave sincere advice and strived the way of Allah, till the inevitable came unto you Therefore, Allah rewarded you the best reward ever won and indeed blessed you and greeted you.

O Allah send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad, and send blessings on the much wronged martyr, Hussein, who showed the right path, who bathed in tears, whom sorrows surrounded from all sides, growing, prompt and multiplying blessings, let its beginning begin from the highest height, do not let there be a beginning or the end of its ceaseless course much and more blessings that Thou had bestowed on any the children of Thy prophets and Messengers.

O the God of the worlds.

Now kiss the holy grave and place your right cheek on the grave, then place your left cheek upon it, circle the grave and kiss all around it. Shaykh Mufeed (r.a) says: After this go to the grave of Ali bin Hussein (a.s) and standing at his grave recite:

Touch your body to the purified grave and say:

After this turn your attention to the other martyrs of Karbala and say:

After this come back and stand at the head of the Imam's grave and pray 2 Rakaat Namaz like Morning Prayer then Ziyaraat and pray for self, the parents and other believers.
