You may then
offer a two-unit prayer and when you finish, you may say the Dua below:
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَكَ صَلَّيْتُ
allahumma inni laka sallaytu
O Allah, I have offered a prayer for You
وَلَكَ رَكَعْتُ وَلَكَ سَجَدْتُ
wa laka raka`tu wa laka sajadtu
and I have genuflected and prostrated myself for You
وَحْدَكَ لاََ شَرِيكَ لَكَ
wahdaka la sharika laka
alone without setting any partner to You,
فَإِنَّهُ لاََ تَجُوزُ ٱلصَّلاَةُ
fa'innahu la tajuzu alssalatu
because prayers,
وَٱلرُّكُوعُ وَٱلسُّجُودُ إِلاَّ لَكَ
walrruku`u walssujudu illa laka
genuflections, and prostrations are illegal for anyone save You,
لاِنَّكَ انْتَ ٱللَّهُ لاََ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ انْتَ
li'annaka anta allahu alladhi la ilaha illa anta
because You are Allah; there is no god save You.
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍٍ
allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
O Allah, (please) send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,
وَابْلِغْهُمْ عَنِّي افْضَلَ ٱلسَّلاَمِ وَٱلتَّحِيَّةِ
wa ablighhum `anni afdala alssalami walttahiyyati
convey to them the most favorite salutations and greetings from me,
وَٱرْدُدْ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُمُ ٱلسَّلاَمَ
wardud `alayya minhum alssalama
and convey to me their response to my greeting.
اَللَّهُمَّ وَهَاتَانِ ٱلرَّكْعَتَانِ هَدِيَّةٌ مِنِّي
allahumma wa hatani alrrak`atani hadiyyatun minni
O Allah, these two units of prayer are a present from me
إِلَىٰ سَيِّدِي ٱلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ
ila sayyidi alhusayni ibni `aliyyin
to my master al-Husayn the son of `Ali,
`alayhima alssalamu
peace be upon both of them.
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَيْهِ
allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa `alayhi
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon him,
وَتَقَبَّلْهُمَا مِنِّي وَٱجْزِنِي عَليْهِمَا
wa taqabbalhuma minni wajzini `alayhima
accept these two units of prayer from me, and reward me for them
افْضَلَ امَلِي وَرَجَائِي فِيكَ وَفِي وَلِيِّكَ
afdala amali wa raja'i fika wa fi waliyyika
by granting me the best of my hope and expectation in you and in Your Friend,
يَا وَلِيَّ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
ya waliyya almu'minina
O Guardian of the believers!
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَىٰ ٱلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ
alssalamu `ala alhusayni ibni `aliyyin
Peace be upon al-Husayn the son of `Ali,
almazlumi alshshahidi
the wronged and martyred,
qatili al`abarati
the victim of shed tears,
wa asiri alkurubati
and the captive of agonies.
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اشْهَدُ انَّهُ وَلِيُّكَ وَٱبْنُ وَلِيِّكَ
allahumma inna ashhadu annahu waliyyuka wabnu waliyyika
O Allah, I do bear witness that he is Your intimate friend and the son of Your intimate friend
وَصَفِيُّكَ ٱلثَّائِرُ بِحَقِّكَ
wa safiyyuka alththa'iru bihaqqika
and Your choicest one who revolted to demand with Your right.
اكْرَمْتَهُ بِكَرَامَتِكَ
akramtahu bikaramatika
You have thus honored him with Your honor,
وَخَتَمْتَ لَهُ بِٱلشَّهَادَةِ
wa khatamta lahu bilshshahadati
sealed his lifetime with martyrdom,
وَجَعَلْتَهُ سَيِّداً مِنَ ٱلسَّادَةِ
wa ja`altahu sayyidan min alssadati
made him one of the chiefs
وَقَائِداً مِنَ ٱلْقَادَةِ
wa qa'idan min alqadati
and one of the leaders,
وَاكْرَمْتَهُ بِطِيبِ ٱلْوِلاَدَةِ
wa akramtahu bitibi alwiladati
honored him with immaculate birth,
وَاعْطَيْتَهُ مَوَاريثَ ٱلانْبِيَاءِ
wa a`taytahu maAshura al-anbiya'i
gave him the inheritances of the prophets,
وَجَعَلْتَهُ حُجَّةً عَلَىٰ خَلْقِكَ مِنَ ٱلاوْصِيَاءِ
wa ja`altahu hujjatan `ala khalqika min al-awsiya'i
and made him argument against Your creatures and one of the Successors.
fa'a`dhara fi alddu`a'i
So, he called to You flawlessly,
wa manaha alnnasihata
gave advice,
وَبَذَلَ مُهْجَتَهُ فِيكَ
wa badhala muhjatahu fika
and sacrificed himself for Your sake
حَتَّىٰ ٱسْتَنْقَذَ عِبَادَكَ مِنَ ٱلْجَهَالَةِ وَحَيْرَةِ ٱلضَّلاَلَةِ
hatta istanqadha `ibadaka min aljahalati wa hayrati alddalalati
until he could save Your servants from ignorance and perplexity of straying off.
وَقَدْ تَوَازَرَ عَلَيْهِ مَنْ غَرَّتْهُ ٱلدُّنْيَا
wa qad tawazara `alayhi man gharrat-hu alddunya
Yet, those whom were seduced by this worldly life,
وَبَاعَ حَظَّهُ مِنَ ٱلآخِرَةِ بِٱلادْنَىٰ
wa ba`a hazzahu min al-akhirati bil-adna
those who sold their share of the Hereafter with the lowly price,
wa taradda fi hawahu
those who perished because of following their desires,
وَاسْخَطَكَ وَاسْخَطَ نَبِيَّكَ
wa askhataka wa askhata nabiyyaka
those who brought to themselves Your wrath and the wrath of Your Prophet,
وَاطَاعَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ اوْلِي ٱلشِّقَاقِ وَٱلنِّفَاقِ
wa ata`a min `ibadika uli alshshiqaqi walnnifaqi
and those who obeyed the dissident and hypocritical servants of You
وَحَمَلَةَ ٱلاوْزَارِ ٱلْمُسْتَوْجِبِينَ ٱلنَّارَ
wa hamalata al-awzari almustawjibina alnnara
and the bearers of the burdens (of sins) who deserve Hellfire—all those supported each other against him;
فَجَاهَدَهُمْ فِيكَ صَابِراً مُحْتَسِباً
fajahadahum fika sabiran muhtasiban
so, he fought against them with steadfastness and expectation of Your reward,
مُقْبِلاًَ غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ
muqbilan ghayra mudbirin
facing them courageously, never turning back,
لاََ تَاخُذُهُ فِي ٱللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لاَئِمٍ
la ta'khudhuhu fi allahi lawmatu la'imin
and never fearing the blame of anyone concerning carrying out his duty towards You
حَتَّىٰ سُفِكَ فِي طَاعَتِكَ دَمُهُ
hatta sufika fi ta`atika damuhu
until his blood was shed while he was in obedience to You
wastubiha harimuhu
and his inviolability was also infringed.
اَللَّهُمَّ ٱلْعَنْهُمْ لَعْناً وَبِيلاًَ
allahumma il`anhum la`nan wabilan
O Allah, curse them with incessant curses
وَعَذِّبْهُمْ عَذَاباً الِيماً
wa `adhdhibhum `adhaban aliman
and chastise them with painful chastisement.

This form of ziyarah on the `Ashura' Day is not as famous as the earlier one; rather, it is similar to it in reward and merits although it does not comprise the one-hundred time statements of invoking curse on the enemies and invoking blessings on the Imam and his companions. It is considered a great success for one whom is diverted from that form of ziyarah by a more important matter. The method of this form of ziyarah, as quoted from the book of al-Mazar al-Qadim, without mentioning the explanatory introduction, is as follows:
If you would like to visit Imam al-Husayn (peace be upon him) from remote places or from the vicinity of his holy tomb, you may bathe yourself and come out to a desert or go up the roof on your house. You may then offer a two-unit prayer, reciting (after Surah al-Fatihah) Surah al-Tawhid in both units. When you accomplish the prayer, you may point to Imam al-Husayn (peace be upon him) to greet him. The greetings, pointing, and intention must be made while turning the face towards the side of Imam al-Husayn’s tomb. Then, you may say the following words with reverence and submission:

Is the Ziarat Authentic?- Discussion on Ilm Rijal Source of ziarat Commentary Sacred Effussion vol 1 |
vol2 Commentary Tehrani Commentary Mubin Safwan’s Discourse on the Merit of Ziyarah of `Ashura'
Sayf ibn `Umayrah has reported that he said to Safwan, “`Alqamah ibn Muhammad has not reported this supplication to us from Imam al-Baqir (`a). He has only reported the ziyarah form.”Commenting on this, our trustworthy mentor Shaykh al-Nuri said: is unique in achieving the requests, gaining the needs, and warding off the enemies if a visitor recites it continuously for forty days or even less. following story , mentioned in the book of Dar al-Salam. However, I will mention it in brief:Salih Bin Aqabah and Sayf ibn Umayrah have reported `Alqamah ibn Muhammad al-Hadrami as saying that he, once, asked Imam al-Baqir, Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, to teach him a prayer with which he would pray Almighty Allah on that day (of Ashura) when he would visit Imam al-Husayn’s tomb and to teach him another prayer with which he would pray Almighty Allah on that day when he would be unable to visit the tomb and then he would point to the tomb and send greetings to Imam al-Husayn (peace be upon him) from his own house.10th Muharram recitation
اعْظَمَ ٱللَّهُ اجُورَنَا بِمُصَابِنَا بِٱلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلاَمُ
a`zama allahu ujurana bimusabina bilhusayni `alayhi alssalamu
May Allah double up our rewards on account of our sorrow for (the martyrdom of) al-Husayn, peace be upon him,
وَجَعَلَنَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ مِنَ ٱلطَّالِبِينَ بِثَارِهِ
wa ja`alana wa iyyakum min alttalibina bitha'rihi
and may He include you and us with those who shall take revenge upon his killers
مَعَ وَلِيِّهِ ٱلإِمَامِ ٱلْمَهْدِيِّ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّلامُ
ma`a waliyyihi al-imami almahdiyyi min ali muhammadin `alayhimu alssalamu
with his blood-claimer; Imam al-Mahdi who belongs to the Household of Muhammad, peace be upon them all.
If possible, you may not leave your house on that day to settle any of your needs, because this day is doomed and no need of a faithful believer is settled on it; and even if it is settled, it will be unblessed. Moreover, whatever is saved on this day will be unblessed and so will be his family members. If they do all that, they will have the reward of one thousand times of hajj and one thousand times of `umrah as well as one thousand participations in campaigns with the Holy Messenger of Allah. They will also gain the reward of all misfortunes that have inflicted every prophet, prophet’s successor, veracious, and martyr who have died or been killed since Almighty Allah has created this world up to the Resurrection Hour.”
Salih ibn `Aqabah and Sayf ibn `Umayrah have reported `Alqamah ibn Muhammad al-Hadrami as saying that he, once, asked Imam al-Baqir, Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, to teach him a supplicatory prayer with which he would pray Almighty Allah on that day (of `ªshura') when he would visit Imam al-Husayn’s tomb and to teach him another supplicatory prayer with which he would pray Almighty Allah on that day when he would be unable to visit the tomb and then he would point to the tomb and send greetings to Imam al-Husayn (`a) from his own house.
