He is alone .No partner hath He. And I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger , and ( I testify ) that, Ali is the devoted friend of Allah.

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.
