What is Sufficient to Say When Visiting All the Imams عليه السلام
رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ قَالَ: سُئِلَ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي إِتْيَانِ قَبْرِ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ «صَلُّوا فِي اَلْمَسَاجِدِ حَوْلَهُ وَ يُجْزِي فِي اَلْمَوَاضِعِ كُلِّهَا أَنْ تَقُولَ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ اَللَّهِ وَ أَصْفِيَائِهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى أُمَنَاءِ اَللَّهِ وَ أَحِبَّائِهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى أَنْصَارِ اَللَّهِ وَ خُلَفَائِهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى مَحَالِّ مَعْرِفَةِ اَللَّهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى مَسَاكِنِ ذِكْرِ اَللَّهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى مُظْهِرِي أَمْرِ اَللَّهِ وَ نَهْيِهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى اَلدُّعَاةِ إِلَى اَللَّهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى اَلْمُسْتَقِرِّينَ فِي مَرْضَاةِ اَللَّهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى اَلْمُخْلَصِينَ فِي طَاعَةِ اَللَّهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى اَلْأَدِلاَّءِ عَلَى اَللَّهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَى اَلَّذِينَ مَنْ وَالاَهُمْ فَقَدْ وَالَى اَللَّهَ وَ مَنْ عَادَاهُمْ فَقَدْ عَادَى اَللَّهَ وَ مَنْ عَرَفَهُمْ فَقَدْ عَرَفَ اَللَّهَ وَ مَنْ جَهِلَهُمْ فَقَدْ جَهِلَ اَللَّهَ وَ مَنِ اِعْتَصَمَ بِهِمْ فَقَدِ اِعْتَصَمَ بِاللَّهِ وَ مَنْ تَخَلَّى مِنْهُمْ فَقَدْ تَخَلَّى مِنَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أُشْهِدُ اَللَّهَ أَنِّي سِلْمٌ لِمَنْ سَالَمْتُمْ وَ حَرْبٌ لِمَنْ حَارَبْتُمْ مُؤْمِنٌ بِسِرِّكُمْ وَ عَلاَنِيَتِكُمْ مُفَوِّضٌ فِي ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ لَعَنَ اَللَّهُ عَدُوَّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنَ اَلْجِنِّ وَ اَلْإِنْسِ وَ أَبْرَأُ إِلَى اَللَّهِ مِنْهُمْ وَ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ».
It is narrated from Ali ibn Hassan who said: Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha عليه السلام was asked about visiting the grave of Abu al-Hasan Musa عليه السلام. Imam عليه السلام said: "Pray in the mosques around it, and it suffices in all locations to say: Peace be upon the allies of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His chosen ones. Peace be upon the trustees of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His beloved ones. Peace be upon the supporters of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His successors. Peace be upon the places of recognition of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon the dwellings of the remembrance of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon those who manifest the commands and prohibitions of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon the callers to Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon those who dwell in the pleasure of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon those who are sincere in the obedience of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon the guides towards Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon those whom whoever aligns with has aligned with Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and whoever opposes has opposed Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon those who, by knowing them, one knows Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and by being ignorant of them, one remains ignorant of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Peace be upon those who, by holding onto them, one holds onto Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and by forsaking them, one forsakes Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic. I bear witness before Allah سبحانه وتعالى that I am at peace with those at peace with you and at war with those at war with you. I believe in your secret and your public affairs. I delegate all matters to you. May Allah سبحانه وتعالى curse the enemies of the family of Muhammad, from among the jinn and mankind. I disassociate myself before Allah سبحانه وتعالى from them. May Allah سبحانه وتعالى send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad."
