Ziarat Ashura

This is the first Ziarat of Ashura and the better known ziarat which is recited. This ziarat can be
recited from any place regardless if it is near or far. Sheikh Abu Jafar Toosi cites its explanation in his
book Misbah al Mutahajjidis. The following is his explanation:

Muhammad ibn Ismail ibn Bazzi narrates from Salih ibn Uqbah who narrates from his father who
narrates Imam Muhammad Baqir (asws) said, He who makes ziarat to the shrine of Imam Hussain
(asws) on the 10
th
of Muharram and becomes tearful beside of His shrine, will meet Allah on the Day
of Judgement having the reward of 1000 hajj, 1000 umrah, and 1000 jihads, the reward is like the one
who has performed these in the company of RasoolAllah (saw).

The narrator said to Imam (asws), May my life be sacrificed on You! What about he who lives in
cities far away from Karbala and as a result he cannot go to the shrine of Imam (asws) on this day?
The Imam (asws) said, In this case, he should go to the desert, or go up on the roof of his house. He
should turn towards the direction of the shrine of Imam (asws), bid salutation to Him, and insist on
calling down curses from Heaven upon the killers of Imam Hussain (asws). After that he should
perform 2 rakats of prayer. This should be done from the beginning of the day until noon. After that
he should weep and mourn for Imam Hussain (asws) and he should ask those of his house to weep
for the Imam (asws) also. He should hold majalis in his house for the Imam (asws) with wailing and
weeping. The people should express condolences towards each other for being bereaved of the Imam
(asws). If one does so, I will guarantee before Allah all the rewards mentioned to be offered to him.
The narrator said, May my life be sacrificed for You! Will You surely guarantee all these rewards?
Imam Baqir (asws) said, Yes, I will guarantee them for the one who observes this practice.
The narrator asked, How can they console one another?

Imam (asws) replied, They should say, May Allah magnify our rewards because of our
bereavement for Hussain (asws) and make you and us of those who will take His revenge in the
company of His Wali (Imam Mahdi atfs) who is from the Progeny of RasoolAllah (saw).
You had better not leave your home for anything on this day if possible because that is an
unfavorable day when the believers requests will not be fulfilled. If it were fulfilled, it would not be
blessed for him and he will gain no benefit by it.

Never buy and store foodstuff for your home on that day. For whoever stores something on that day
will not benefit by the stored thing at all. It will not be blessed for his family who are the ones he had
stored it for.

2
Upon performing this practice, Allah will write for them the reward of 1000 hajj, 1000 umrah, and
1000 jihad all of which were like the one who performed them in the company of RasoolAllah (saw).
He will also be offered the reward of the bereaved of any prophet, messenger, successor, trustworthy,
or martyr.

Salih ibn Uqbah and Saif ibn Umayrah narrate from Alqamah ibn Muhammad Hadrami who narrates
that he (Alqamah) asked Imam Muhammad Baqir (asws), Teach me a dua to recite on this day when
I make ziarat near to the shrine of Imam Hussain (asws) and teach me a dua to recite when I want to
make ziarat to Him from faraway cities and from my home.

The Imam (asws) said, O Alqamah! Face the direction of the shrine of Imam Hussain (asws), send
salam to Him and while still facing the direction of His shrine recite Takbir (Allahu Akbar) and recite
this ziarat. Then perform 2 rakats of prayer. Verily, if you recite this ziarat, you will have recited the
same dua which the angels who perform His ziarat recite and Allah will elevate you by one million
degrees. You will be raised like he who has achieved martyrdom in the company of Imam Hussain
(asws) and will be counted amongst those who were martyred along with Imam Hussain (asws). The
rewards of ziarat of all of the prophets will be written for you. The rewards of anyone who has
performed ziarat to the shrine of Imam Hussain (asws) from the time of His martyrdom will be
written for you.

The following is the ziarat:

Dua Alqamah
Dua to be recited after the recitation of Ziarat Ashura

Alqamah said that Imam Baqir (asws) had told him, "If you can perform the ziyarat of the Imam
Hussain (asws) through this ziyarat from your home, you will gain all these rewards."

Also Muhammad ibn Khalid al-Tayalisi has related from Sayf ibn Ùmayrah who said, "Once I set out
together with Safwan ibn Mihran and a group of our companions towards Najaf to make ziarat to the
shrine of Imam Ali (asws) after Imam Sadiq (asws) had set out from Hirah (a city near Kufah) to
Medina. When we got through with it, Safwan turned his face towards the direction of Imam Hussain
(asws)s shrine and said, Let us perform ziyarat of Imam Hussain (asws) from this place, near Imam
Ali (asws)'s head, while facing that direction, Imam Sadiq (asws) saluted Imam Hussain (asws) like
this when I was accompanying him.'

Then Sayf added. After that Safwan recited the very same ziyarat that Muhammad ibn Àlqamah al-
Hadrami had related from Imam Baqir (asws) to be recited on the Day of Ashura. Then he said two
rakàts of prayer near the head side of the holy grave of Imam Ali (asws), Ameerul Momineen. After
getting through with that prayer he bid farewell to Imam Ali (asws) and turned towards the holy
grave of Imam Hussain (asws) and bid salutation to Him. After performing the ziyarat the Imam
(asws) bid farewell to Imam Hussain (asws); the following is among the duàs he recited after saying
prayer:'"

Sayf ibn Ùmayrah said, "I told Safwan that Àlqamah ibn Muhammad did not mention this duà
while quoting Imam Baqir (asws) rather, he related just the same ziyarat. Safwan said, I came here in
company with my master Imam Sadiq (asws) and He observed the ziyarat as we did; and while
bidding farewell He recited this duà after He had said two rakàts of prayer as we did; and bid
farewell as we did.' Then Safwan added that Imam Sadiq (asws) had told him, Keep on reciting this
ziyarat and this duà. Verily, if one makes pilgrimage this way, and recites this duà no matter from
near or far; I guarantee his ziyarat will be accepted, his attempt be thanked, his salutation will be
conveyed to the Imam (asws), and his request will be met by Allah, the Most High; he will be exalted
to any rank he wishes, and Allah will not take him back disappointed. O Safwan! By this guarantee I
found the very ziyarat from My Father, from His Father Imam Sajjad (asws) by the very guarantee,
from Imam Hussain (asws) by the same guarantee, from His Brother Imam Hasan (asws) by the very
guarantee, from His Father, Ameerul Momineen (asws) by the same guarantee, from RasoolAllah
(saw) by the very guarantee, from Jibrael (as) by the same guarantee, from Allah, the Exalted by the
very guarantee. Definitely, Allah has sworn by His Self that he who makes Ziarat to the shrine of
Imam Hussain (asws) by reciting this ziyarat - no matter from near or far away - and recites this duà,
Allah will accept his ziyarat, and will meet any requests of his; therefore, he will not come back
disappointed and in loss, and Allah will turn him back joyful because his requests were granted,
entering Paradise and being secured from hellfire; and will accept his intercession for whomever he
intercedes for except for Our enemies.

Imam (asws) then said, Allah has sworn by His Self, and has called Us to witness what the angels of
His Heaven bore witness to. Then Jibrael (as) addressed RasoolAllah (saw) that Allah had sent him to
Him (RasoolAllah saw) to gladden and give good-tidings to Him (saw), Ali (asws), Fatimah (sa),
Hasan (asws), Hussain (asws) and the Imams (asws) from His Offspring up to the Day of Judgment;
prayed that the rejoicing of Him (saw), Ali (asws), Fatimah (sa), Hasan (asws), Hussain (asws) and
the Imams (asws) from His Offspring , and His Shias be continuous and enduring up to the Day of
Judgment.

Then Safwan said that Imam Sadiq (asws) had told him, O Safwan, whenever you have a request
and wish for Allah to grant it, recite this ziarat wherever you are. Then recite this duà and ask your
Lord for your request that will be met. Never will Allah break His promise to RasoolAllah (saw)
because of His Generosity and Gratefulness. Praise to Him.'"

Author's note: Our master Shaykh Noori, in his book al-Najm al-Thaqib has written, "As concerns the
ziyarat of Ashura, from the aspects of its merits and ranks suffice it to say that it is not like other
ziyarats that have been dictated by the Masoom Imams (asws) rather, it is among the Hadith e Qudsi;
though, what issues from Their blessed hearts is not from anywhere but the Transcendental World.
Every word of this ziyarat, including the curses and salutations, is from Almighty Allah brought to
RasoolAllah (saw) by Jibrael (as)."

The above matter has been stated after mentioning the story of hajji Sayyid Ahmad Rashti's visiting
Imam Mahdi (atfs) during hajj pilgrimage; at that time the Imam (atfs) had asked him about the
reason why the ziyarat of Ashura had not been recited, and repeated the term Ashura three times.
Shaykh Noori has added, "By experience, keeping on reciting this ziyarat for forty days, or even less,
is matchlessly beneficial for the requests to be fulfilled, the goals to be achieved and it causes one's

27
enemies to be kept away. However, the best benefit gained from keeping on reciting this ziyarat is
what I mentioned in my other book called Dar al-salaam. Its summary is that hajji Mulla Hasan Yazdi
resided in Najaf and was a trustworthy, good-doer, and pious man and was continually busy with
worshipping and reciting ziyarats. He quoted from hajji Muhammad Ali Yazdi - a knowledgeable
and righteous man who lived in the city of Yazd, and who was continually busy with bettering his
otherworldly affairs and passed nights in a cemetery known as Mazar wherein a group of righteous
men were buried - that he had a neighbor with whom they had grown up from childhood and had
gone to the same teacher. The neighbor became a tax collector to earn his livelihood, and then passed
away; he was buried in that cemetery in the vicinity of the place where that man used to stay the
night.

Nearly one month later he dreamt about him in a good shape; he went to him and said, I know your
beginning and your end, your exterior (zahir) and inner self (batin); you were not among those who
seemingly have good inner self (batin), for your occupation was expected to necessitate nothing
except torment in the hereafter. So what deed caused you to reach this rank?' He said, "That's right. I
was suffering from the severest torment from the moment of my death until yesterday, when the wife
of the master blacksmith Ashraf died, and was buried in this place. Then he pointed to a spot nearly
one hundred meters far from him, and added, During the night she was just buried, Imam Hussain
(asws) paid visit to her three times, and commanded in the third time the torment to be removed
from that grave. Then our shape became good and we enjoyed relief and grace.

Then he woke up, while he did not know the blacksmith and his neighborhood. He searched for him
in the blacksmiths workshops, found him, and asked him about his wife. The blacksmith replied that
she had died the day before and that he had buried her in that place and named the same spot from
the dream.

The man asked whether she had made ziarat to the shrine of Imam Hussain (asws). The answer was
No. Then he asked him whether she had recited masaib for the Imam (asws) or whether she had
held majalis of the Imam (asws). The answer to both was No. Then the blacksmith asked, What
are you looking for? The man narrated the dream to the blacksmith. The blacksmith said, She use
to continuously recite Ziarat Ashura.
