ANOTHER ZIYARAH ON THE DAY OF GHADEER
There is another form of ziyarah mentioned in Iqbal alA’mal by Sayyid Ibn Tawus who says that Imam alSadiq (‘a) is reported to have said:
If you are present at the holy tomb of Imam ‘Ali (‘a) on the Ghadir Day, you may come near the tomb and say the following supplicatory prayer. If you are in a remote place, you may point to him after the prayer and say the supplicatory prayer involved:
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى وَلِيِّكَ
وَ اَخِيْ نَبِيِّكَ
O Allah, (please do) send blessings upon Your friend, the brother of Your Prophet, his vizier, dear one, intimate friend, his trustee on his secrets, the favorite one among his family members, his successor, his choice, his dignitary, his courier, his best friend, the most honorable of the members of his household who believed in him, the father of his progeny, the door to his wisdom, his spokesman who speaks with his argument, the inviter to his code of law, the follower of his instructions, his representative on his people, the master of Muslims, the commander of the faithful, and the leader of the white-forehead group; (please, bless him) with the best blessings that You have ever bestowed upon any of Your creatures and upon Your select ones and Your Prophets’ successors. O Allah, I bear witness that he conveyed all that which has been entrusted with him on behalf of Your Prophet, peace be upon him and his Household, conformed to that which has been kept with him, held that which has been commended to him, observed that which You have deemed lawful, forbade that which You have deemed unlawful, carried out Your laws, called unto Your course, he assisted Your saints, incurred the hostility of Your enemies, and strove against those who preached Your path, those who acted wrongly, and those who apostatized Your affair. In all these, he was steadfast, seeking Your pleasure, advancing, and never neglectful. No censure has ever precluded him from what he would do for Your sake until he attained Your satisfaction, relegated all matters to You, worshipped You sincerely, and acted sincerely and painstakingly for Your sake until death came upon him. So, You grasped his soul to You while he was happy martyr, saint, pious, pleased, pure, guide, and well-guided. O Allah, (please do) bless Muhammad and bless him with the best blessings You have ever bestowed upon any of Your Prophets and select ones, O Lord of the worlds.
وَ وَزِيْرِهِ وَ حَبِيْبِهِ وَ خَلِيْلِهِ
وَ خِيَرَتِهِ مِنْ اُسْرَتِهِ
وَ وَصِيِّهِ وَ صَفْوَتِهِ وَ خَالِصَتِهِ
وَ اَمِيْنِهِ وَ وَلِيِّهِ
وَ اَشْرَفِ عِتْرَتِهِ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِهِ
وَ النَّاطِقِ بِحُجَّتِهِ
وَ الدَّاعِيْ اِلٰى شَرِيْعَتِهِ
وَ الْمَاضِيْ عَلٰى سُنَّتِهِ
وَ خَلِيْفَتِهِ عَلٰى اُمَّتِهِ
وَ اَمِيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ
وَ قَاۤئِدِ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِيْنَ
اَفْضَلَ مَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلٰى اَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ
وَ اَصْفِيَاۤئِكَ وَ اَوْصِيَاۤءِ اَنْبِيَاۤئِكَ۔
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّي اَشْهَدُ
اَنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَّغَ عَنْ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ اٰلِهِ مَا حُمِّلَ
وَ حَفِظَ مَا اسْتُوْدِعَ
وَ دَعَا اِلٰى سَبِيْلِكَ
وَ جَاهَدَ النَّاكِثِيْنَ عَنْ سَبِيْلِكَ
وَ الْقَاسِطِيْنَ وَ الْمَارِقِيْنَ عَنْ اَمْرِكَ
مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ
لَا تَأْخُذُهُ فِي اللّٰهِ لَوْمَةُ لَاۤئِمٍ
حَتّٰى بَلَغَ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ الرِّضَا
وَ سَلَّمَ اِلَيْكَ الْقَضَاۤءَ
وَ نَصَحَ لَكَ مُجْتَهِدًا
حَتّٰى اَتَاهُ الْيَقِيْنُ
فَقَبَضْتَهُ اِلَيْكَ شَهِيْدًا سَعِيْدًا
وَلِيًّا تَقِيًّا رَضِيًّا
زَكِيًّا هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَيْهِ
اَفْضَلَ مَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلٰى اَحَدٍ مِنْ اَنْبِيَاۤئِكَ وَ اَصْفِيَاۤئِكَ
يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ۔
In his book of Misbah alZa’ir, Sayyid Ibn Tawus has mentioned another form of ziyarah that is dedicated to this day (Ghadir Day). However, it is not certain that this form is dedicated to this day. This form of ziyarah is in fact composed of two forms that ‘Aliamah alMajlisi has mentioned them in his book of alTuhfah as the second and the third forms of ziyarah dedicated to the Ghadir Day.
