EXPLANATIONS ABOUT THE ADDITIONS IN ZIYARAH WARITH

Commentary: Known as Ziyarah Warith, this form of ziyarah has been quoted from Shaykh alTusi’s book of Misbah alMutahajjid, which is one of the most sublime, reliable, and famous books in the scholastic milieus. I have therefore quoted this form of ziyarah from this honorable book without leaning on any other means or reference book. Hence, the sealing statement of this form was the following:

فَيَا لَيْتَنِىْ كُنْتُ مَعَكُمْ فَاَفُوْزَ مَعَكُمْ‏

Would that I were with you so that I could also share the accomplishment with you.

فِىْ الْجِنَانِ مَعَ النَّبِيِّيْنَ وَ الصِّدِّيْقِيْنَ

وَ الشُّهَدَاۤءِ وَ الصَّالِحِيْنَ

وَ حَسُنَ اُوْلٰۤئِكَ رَفِيْقًا۔

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلٰى مَنْ كَانَ فِىْ الْحَاۤئِرِ مِنْكُمْ

وَ عَلٰى مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِىْ الْحَاۤئِرِ مَعَكُمْ۔۔۔۔

However, some books add the following statements thereafter:

...in the gardens of Paradise with the Prophets, the veracious, the martyrs, and the righteous; and how excellent is the companionship of these! Peace be upon those who are buried with you in this shrine and upon those who were not buried with you in this shrine...

These surplus statements and their likes are considered excessive,since they have not been mentioned in the reporter traditions; therefore, they are fabrications that have been forged against the traditions of the Holy Imams.
