ANOTHER ZIYARAH OF IMAM AL REZA

In his book of al-Muqni’ah, Shaykh al-Mufid, reporting this form of ziyarah, has said:

After performing the ritual bathing of ziyarah and putting on the purest of your clothes, you may stop at the tomb of Imam al-Rida (‘a) and say the following words:

You may then throw yourself at the tomb, kiss it, put your both cheeks on it, turn to the side of the Imam’s head, and say the following words:

You may then offer the two-unit prayer of ziyarah after which you may offer any prayers you wish.

You may then turn to the side of the Imam’s foot and pray Almighty Allah for anything you want.

A great reward is gained when Imam al-Rida (‘a) is visited at the hours and on the occasions that are related to him, especially in the month of Rajab, on the twenty-third and twenty-fifth of Dhu’l-Qa’dah, and on the sixth of Ramazan, as well as other days that are related to Imam al-Rida (‘a), as has been previously detailed within the acts on these days mentioned in the previous section of this book.
