In the Name of Allah, the
Most Merciful Compassionate.
THE SEVEN –TRADITION
PILGRIMAGE OF IMAM ALI IBN
MUSA
AL –REZA
I testify that there is no god but Allah . He is alone,
no partner hath He, and I testify that Muhammad is His Servant
and His Messenger. ( 1 )
O Allah, bestow
blessing on Muhammad
and his progeny ( 2 ).
O Allah,
bestow
blessing on angels
nigh to Thee.
O Allah, bestow
blessing on Prophets
and Apostles.
O Allah, bestow
blessing on the Immaculate
Imams .
O Allah , bestow blessing
on our master and
our leader , the Imam
of guidance and
the
most trustworthy handhold , the proof
of Thee to the
people of the
world , about whom
said the Chief
of mankind and
the Support of creatures
– Muhammad ( P.B.U.H ) :
“ A flesh and
blood of mine (3)will soon be
buried in the earth of
Khorasan (4). There never visits it
a grief – stricken person
but Allah removes
his grief , nor a sinner but
Allah forgives his
sin( 5).”
O Allah ,
I beg Thee
for the sake
of his accepted
intercession and his
exalted degree
to remove my
grief , and to forgive
my sin , and to
make him hear
my word , and to
deliver
my best regards
to him .
Peace be upon
thee, O the
Proof of Allah .
Peace be
upon thee , O the
Light of Allah.
Peace be
upon thee , O the Repository of
Allah‘ s Knowledge .
.Peace
be upon thee ,
O the Originating
source of Allah” s supreme
Wisdom .
Peace be
upon thee , O
the Bearer of
Allah ‘ s Book .
Peace be
upon thee , O the Guardian of
Divine Secret .
Thou art
One about whom said
the killer of the pagan
and the eradicator of the wicked (5),the
Commander of the
faithful and the
testamentary executor of
the Messenger of
Lord of the
worlds – Ali (may Allah’s
blessing and peace
be upon him) :
“ A man
of my posterity
namesake with me , having
a father namesake
with the son of
Imran -- Musa will
soon be killed
oppressed in
the earth of
Khorasan by poison .
Lo , verily
Allah will forgive
the past faults and
those to fallow
of one who
pays a pilgrimage
to him
in his forlornness even
though they are
as many as
stars and(as many
as ) the drops
of rains and ( as
many as ) the leaves
of trees ” ( 6) *.
O lord ,
my lord , behold me standing
before thee . And
my faults are
as many as
stars
and drops of
rains and leaves
of trees . There is
no means for
me to efface
them but thy
satisfaction.
O lord , I
reckon not in
the book of
my deeds any
single deed to
be more promising
to me than
performing thy pilgrimage . How ? Verily , the Splitter of the Knowledge
of the first
and the
last ( may Allah‘ s blessing
be upon him) ( 7) said about
it :
“A man
from Musa ‘ s children , namesake with the
Commander of the
faithful will rise .And
then he
will be (killed and ) buried
in the earth
of Khorasan . Verily, Allah will give
one who pays
a pilgrimage to
him knowing his
right the reward
of one who
spent out his
wealth in charity
and fought before the Victory (8). “
Now I
have come towards
thee to pay
a pilgrimage to
thee , knowing thy right ,
understanding that
thou art worthy
of obedience ,(cognizing that
thou art )exiled and
martyred , hoping about what (Imam)
Sadiq ( may blessing
and peace be
upon him ) said :
“ My grandson will
be killed in
the earth of
Khorasan in a
territory called Toos. Surely on
the Day
of Resurrection , I
will hold one
who visits him
as a pilgrim
knowing his right
with my hand
and take him
to the Paradise , even though
he is of
those who have committed
capital
sins . “
Imam (
Sadiq ) was asked
:
“
What is
the knowledge of
his right ? “
He replied :
“
Knowing that he
is an Imam
worthy of obedience ( who has
been ) exiled and martyred .Surely , Allah will award one
who pays a
pilgrimage to him
the reward of
seventy martyrs of
those who suffered
martyrdom accompanying the
Messenger of Allah ( peace
be upon him
and his progeny ) .“( 9)
O Son
of the Messenger
of Allah .
O Son
of the Commander
of the faithful .
I seek forgiveness
for my sins
and my parents’
sins and sins
of believing men and believing women
by paying a visit to thee, begging
thee the accomplishment of what thou have promised
to do in the
Three Abodes : At
the time of the
Dispersal of
the Books ( 10),
while passing on (the
bridge
of ) the Pathway ( 11) , and before
the Balance ( 12).
And thou said
and thy saying
is surely a
truth :
“ verily , the worst
one of those
that Allah has
created in my
time will kill me with
poison , then he will
bury me in an
abode of affliction
in a remote land. Lo verily , one
who pays
a pilgrimage to
me in my
forlornness shall gain
the reward of
a hundred thousand
martyrs and
a hundred thousand
veracious ones and
a hundred thousand
pilgrims performing Major
and Minor Hajj
rituals (13) and a
hundred thousand warriors of
Faith --the reward which Allah-The Almighty, The Glorious hath
decreed (for Himself ) to grant . And he
shall be gathered
together in our
company , and shall be situated
as our comrade
in higher ranks
of the Paradise (14).”
All
praise is due to
Allah Who prospered
me to pay
a visit to thee in a
sacred area about
which thou ( thyself) said :
“
It is , I swear by
Allah , a
garden of the
gardens of the
Paradise . One who pays a pilgrimage
to me in
this region is surely
like one who
paid a pilgrimage
to the Messenger
of Allah ( may Allah’s
blessing be upon
him and his
progeny ) , and Allah hath prescribed for him
the recompense of performing a
thousand honored major
pilgrimage and a
thousand accepted
minor pilgrimages ( of
Allah’s Sacred House ). And
I and my
ancestors shall intercede
on behalf of him
on the Day
of Resurrection (15).”
Hence I beg thee by
the right of
thy Pure Ancestors , and by
the right of
thy Distinguished Progeny
to be the intercessor on behalf of me (16)
O
, my
master , thou art
one to whom
none but
the elite of Shi,a
(17) performs pilgrimage . So
I beg Allah by
thy right and by the
right of thy
disciples to permit
thee to intercede
on behalf of me
. And I
ask Allah to resurrect
me
together with thy
disciples in an
abode of blessing .
Together with you -- the
Folk of the House . With
you , with you
,not with others
than you . I express
my disgust at
your enemies in
the presence of Allah ,and I seek
proximity to Allah
by you.
I believe
in your Second
Coming .
I confirm
your Returning.
I await
your Reign .
I
expect your Sovereignty (18)
I know
the magnificence of
your Dignity .
I understand
the misguidance of
people who oppose
you .
I am
a friend of
yours and your
friends ‘, and an enemy
to your foes.
I appeal
protection from you, and I take refuge
in your graves .
O Allah , bestow blessing
upon Muhammad the Prophet, and upon the Designated
Executor (--Ali ) and upon the Batul (--Fatimah ) (19) and
the Two Offsprings (--Hassan and
Hossein) and Sajjad and Baqir
and Sadiq and Kazim and Reza
and Taqi and Naqi
and Aaskari and Mahdi
-- Lord of the
Time ( may blessing
be upon them
all) .(20)
O Allah , these are our Imams and
our leaders and
our guides and
our observers .
O Allah ,( please ) prosper us
in their obedience , and provide
us with their
intercession and gather
us together with
their party on the Day
of Resurrection ,and
let us be
of their best
intimates . By Thy
Mercy ,O The
Most Merciful of
all the merciful.
