Farewell: When you wish to bid farewell, say: "Peace be upon you, O my master and the son of my master, and the mercy and blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. You are for us a refuge from torment. This is the time for my departure from you, not out of aversion to you, nor preferring anyone else over you, nor seeking an alternative to you, nor desiring distance from your proximity. I have sacrificed myself for adversities, left my family, homeland, and children. Be my intercessor on the day of my need, poverty, and destitution, the day when neither a close friend nor a relative will avail me, the day when my parents will not suffice for me. I ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who decreed my journey to you, to relieve my distress through you. I ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who ordained my departure from your location, not to make this the last time I visit you. I ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who caused my eyes to weep over you, to make it a means and provision for me. I ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who showed me your place and guided me to greet and visit you, to grant me access to your fountain and bless me with your companionship in Paradise. Peace be upon you, O chosen one of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. [Peace be upon Muhammad, son of Abdullah, the Seal of the Prophets.] Peace be upon the Commander of the Faithful, the successor of the Messenger of the Lord عز وجل of the Worlds, the leader of the radiant ones. Peace be upon Hasan عليه السلام and Husayn عليه السلام, the masters of the youth of Paradise. Peace be upon the Imams – and you name them – peace be upon them and the mercy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His blessings. Peace be upon the angels of Allah سبحانه وتعالى who encircle (this grave). Peace be upon the angels of Allah سبحانه وتعالى who remain stationed and glorify Him, fulfilling His command. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, do not make this the last of my visits to him. If You decree it to be so, then gather me with him and his righteous forefathers. If You extend my life, O Lord عز وجل, then bless me with the opportunity to visit him perpetually as long as You keep me alive. Indeed, You are capable of all things." And say: "I entrust you to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I place you in His care, and I send my peace to you. We believe in Allah سبحانه وتعالى and in what you called towards. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, write us among the witnesses. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, grant me their love and affection perpetually as long as I live. [Peace be upon the angels of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and the visitors to the grave of the son of the Prophet of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace from me forever as long as I live and eternally even after I pass.] Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah سبحانه وتعالى." When you leave the dome, do not turn your face away from it until it disappears from your sight.
