According to the previously mentioned narration, the ziyarah of al-`Abbas ends here.
But Sayyid Ibn Tawus and Shaykh al-Mufid, as well as other scholars, have added the following: You may then turn to the side of the head and offer a two-unit prayer. Afterwards, you may offer prayers as many as you wish. You may also supplicate Almighty Allah earnestly.
After these prayers, you may say the following prayer:
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
O Allah, (please) send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad
وَلا تَدَعْ لِي فِي هٰذَا ٱلمَكَانِ ٱلمُكَرَّمِ وَٱلمَشْهَدِ ٱلمُعَظَّمِ ذَنْباً إِلاَّ غَفَرْتَهُ
wa la tada` li fi hadha almakani almukarrami walmashhadi almu`azzami dhanban illa ghafartahu
and do not leave for me, in this honored place and glorified shrine, any sin that I did but that You forgive it,
وَلا هَمّاً إِلاَّ فَرَّجْتَهُ

وَلا غَائِباً إِلاَّ حَفِظْتَهُ وَأَدْنَيْتَهُ
wa la gha'iban illa hafiztahu wa adnaytahu
any absent one but that You guard it and approach (him to me),
وَلا حَاجَةً مِنْ حَوَائِجِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلآخِرَةِ
wa la hajatan min hawa'iji alddunya wal-akhirati
and any single need, among the many needs for this life as well as the life to come
لَكَ فِيهَا رِضَىٰ وَلِيَ فِيهَا صَلاحٌ
laka fiha ridan wa liya fiha salahun
whose settlement achieves your gratification and my good,
إِلاَّ قَضَيْتَهَا يَا أَرْحَمَ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ

but that You grant it. O He Who is the most merciful of all the merciful ones!
You may then return to the tomb, stop at the side of the legs, and say the following words:
