The Ziyārah of Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali عليه السلام and How It Should Be Performed

4. My father and Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh both narrated to me from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Khālid Al-Ťayālisi, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali (Al-Washā), from his father, from Faďl ibn ‘Uthmān Al-Sāyigh, from Mu’āwiyah ibn ‘Ammār, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام), “What should I recite when I go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain عليه السلام?” Imam عليه السلام replied, recite (the following): Salām to you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s blessing be upon you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s Mercy be upon you, O Abā ‘Abdillāh. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who killed you. May Allāh’s curse be upon those who participated in spilling your blood and may Allāh’s curse be upon those who heard of your killing and were pleased with it. I seek nearness to Allāh by dissociating myself from this (being pleased with the killing of Ḥusain عليه السلام).
