Ziyārat of Hazrat Ali Akbar (pbuh)
Ziyārat of Hazrat Ali Akbar (pbuh) From the book Kāmil al-Ziyārāt (p. 239), by Shaykh Ibn Qulawayh; Narrated from Abu Hamza al-Thumali from Imam Jaʿfar al-Sadiq (pbuh)
Turn toward Hazrat Ali ibn al-Ḥusayn, who is at the feet of Imam Ḥusayn, and say:
Peace be upon you, O son of the Messenger of God, and the mercy of God and His blessings and son of the successor of the Messenger of God; and son of the daughter of the Messenger of God May the mercy of God and His blessings be multiplied upon you, every time the sun rises or sets Peace be upon you and upon your soul and your body.
May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O beheaded one, O innocent slain May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, your blood ascended toward the Beloved of God May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, whom your father offered with his own hands for God, while he wept for you His heart burning with grief, casting your blood toward the sky, not a single drop of it returning and your father did not find calm from weeping as he bade you farewell Thus, your station with God, together with your forefathers and mothers, is in Heaven, enjoying its blessings.
I declare my disassociation before Allah from those who killed you and beheaded you.
Then throw yourself upon the grave, place your hand on it, and say:
May the peace of God, the peace of His near angels, His sent prophets and His righteous servants, be upon you, O my master and son of my master, and may His mercy and blessings be upon You
May God’s blessings be upon you, upon your household, your family, your fathers, your children and your mothers who were righteous and virtuous, from whom God removed all impurity and whom He purified and made completely pure.
Peace be upon you, O son of the Messenger of God, O son of Amir al-Mu’minin O son of Husayn ibn ʿAlī, and may the mercy and blessings of God be upon you.
May God curse the one who fought against you, the one who denied your right, and the one who killed you, may God curse whoever remains of them and whoever has passed May my soul be sacrificed for you and for your resting place. May abundant peace and blessings of God be upon you Then place your cheek upon the grave and say:
(say three times) May God’s blessings be upon you, O Abū al Ḥasan (this is the Kunya of Hazrat Ali Akbar, pbuh)
May my father and mother be sacrificed for you. I have come to you as a visitor, as one arriving in devotion, seeking refuge from what I have done against myself
and the burdens I have gathered upon my back. I ask God, who is your Guardian and my Guardian to make my share of this visitation a means of salvation from the Fire of Hell
