Ziarat of Imam Mehdi Sardaab

Form of Ziy�rah

According to traditions, the form of asking permission to enter the holy vault is the ziy�rah form that will be mentioned soon. It begins with the following statement:

اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا خَلِيفةَ ٱللَّهِ	alssal�mu `alayk y� khal�fata all�hi	Peace be upon you, O vicegerent of Allah
وَخَلِيفَةَ آبَائِهِ ٱلْمَهْدِيِّينَ	wa khal�fata �b�'ih� almahdiyy�na�	and vicegerent of your well-guided fathers�

This form of ziy�rah ends with a form of asking permission of entrance to the holy vault. It is said at the door of the vault before coming down there.

Sayyid Ibn ��w�s has mentioned another form of asking permission of entrance (i.e. isti'dh�n), whose statements are similar to the first general form of asking permission, which has been mentioned in Chapter Two of this section of Forms of Ziy�rah.

As to `All�mah al-Majlis�, he has mentioned another form, which he reports from an ancient book on forms of ziy�rah. This form begins with the following statement:

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هٰذِهِ بُقْعَةٌ طَهَّرْتَهَا	all�humma inna h�dhih� buq`atun �ahhartah�	O Allah, this is verily an area that You have purified
وَعَقْوَةٌ شَرَّفْتَهَا�	wa `aqwatun sharraftah�	and a courtyard that You have honored�

This form has been also previously mentioned immediately after the first general form of asking permission. You may refer to and say it before coming down to the holy vault.

You may then come down to the holy vault and visit Imam al-Mahd� (`a) with the formula of ziy�rah that is reported from him according to the report of the sublime Shaykh A�mad ibn Ab�-��lib al-�abris� in his book of al-I�tij�j, as follows:

Ziarat Aale -Yasin & the Dua after آلِ يـٰس

Ziarat Aal-e-Yaseen is another important Ziarat of Imam-e-Zaman(a.s.). It is actually a Hadith Qudsi (direct saying of Allah(swt)) as reported in Mafatih-al-Jinnan. According to the traditions, "Aal-e-Yaseen" is equivalent to "Aal-e-Muhammad(pbuh&hf)" and is the correct pronunciation (Qira'at) of verse 37:130 of the Holy Quran. Beside its superb beauty, one of the interesting points about this Duaa is that, in it, we confess all the central beliefs one by one. This ziy�rah is reported from Shaykh A�mad ibn Ab�-��lib al-�abris� in his book of al-I�tij�j, as follows:

When Shaykh al-Muf�d mentioned the aforesaid form of ziy�rah that begins with the following words:

اللَّهُ اكْبَرُ ٱللَّهُ اكْبَرُ ٱللَّهُ اكْبَرُ	all�hu akbaru all�hu akbaru all�hu akbaru	Allah is the Most Great. Allah is the Most Great. Allah is the Most Great.
لاََ إِِلٰهَ إِِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ�	l� il�ha ill� all�hu�	There is no god save Allah�

he (i.e. Shaykh al-Muf�d), commenting, said the following: According to another way of narration, you may say the following words while descending to the holy vault:

اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَىٰ ٱلْحَقِّ ٱلْجَدِيدِ	alssal�mu `al� al�aqqi aljad�di	Peace be upon the fresh truth
وَٱلْعَالِمِ ٱلَّذِي عِلْمُهُ لاََ يَبِيدُ�	wal`�limi alladh� `ilmuh� l� yab�du�	and the knowledgeable whose knowledge never expires�

So, he referred to the previously mentioned form of ziy�rah up to the end. He then said:

You may now offer the twelve-unit prayer of ziy�rah, separating between each two units with a Tasl�m statement.

You may then say the following prayer, which is reported from Imam al-Mahd� (`a) himself:

إِلٰهِي عَظُمَ ٱلْبَلاَءُ	il�h� `a�uma albal�'u	O my God, ordeal has become immeasurable.
وَبَرِحَ ٱلْخَفَاءُ	wa bari�a alkhaf�'u	The hidden has become exposed.
وَٱنْكَشَفَ ٱلْغِطَاءُ	wankashafa alghi��'u	The covered has been disclosed.
وَضَاقَتِ ٱلارْضُ	wa ��qat al-ar�u	The earth has become narrow (despite its vastness).
وَمُنِعَتِ ٱلسَّمَاءُ	wa muni`at alssam�'u	The sky has been prevented (from giving its blessings).
وَإِلَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ ٱلْمُشْتَكَىٰ	wa ilayka y� rabbi almushtak�	And to You, O my Lord, is the complaint.
وَعَلَيْكَ ٱلْمُعَوَّلُ فِي ٱلشِّدَّةِ وَٱلرَّخَاءِ	wa `alayka almu`awwalu f� alshshiddati walrrakh�'i	Upon You is the reliance in hardships and leisure.
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ	all�humma �alli `al� mu�ammadin wa �lih�	O Allah, (please do) send blessings upon Mu�ammad and his Household
ٱلَّذينَ فَرَضْتَ عَلَيْنَا طَاعَتَهُمْ	alladh�na fara�ta `alayn� ��`atahum	the obedience to whom has been made obligatory upon us by You,
فَعَرَّفْتَنَا بِذٰلِكَ مَنْزِلَتَهُمْ	fa`arraftan� bidh�lika manzilatahum	and whose (special) rank has been thus made known for us by You,
فَرِّجْ عَنَّا بِحَقِّهِمْ	farrij `ann� bi�aqqihim	(please do) relieve our ordeals in the name of them
فَرَجاً عَاجِلاً	farajan `�jilan	with a relief that is as immediate
كَلَمْحِ ٱلْبَصَرِ اوْ هُوَ اقْرَبُ	kalam�i alba�ari aw huwa aqrabu	as the twinkling of an eye or even closer.
يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا عَلِيُّ	y� mu�ammadu y� `aliyyu	O Mu�ammad! O `Al�!
يَا عَلِيُّ يَا مُحَمَّدُ	y� `aliyyu y� mu�ammadu	O `Al�! O Mu�ammad!
انْصُرَانِي فَإِنَّكُمَا نَاصِرَايَ	un�ur�n� fa'innakum� n��ir�ya	(Please) support me, for you both do support me,
وَٱكْفِيَانِي فَإِنَّكُمَا كَافِيَانِ	wakfiy�n� fa'innakum� k�fiy�ni	and save me, for you both do save.
يَا مَوْلاَيَ يَا صَاحِبَ ٱلزَّمَانِ	y� mawl�ya y� ��iba alzzam�ni	O my master! O Patron of the Age!
ٱلْغَوْثَ ٱلْغَوْثَ ٱلْغَوْثَ	alghawtha alghawtha alghawtha	(I beseech you for) relief! (I beseech you for) relief! (I beseech you for) relief!
ادْرِكْنِي ادْرِكْنِي ادْرِكْنِي	adrikn� adrikn� adrikn�	(Please do) come to my aid! (Please do) come to my aid! (Please do) come to my aid!

This prayer is of a high esteem; it is therefore advisable to repeat it in the holy sanctuary of Imam al-Mahd� (`a) as well as other places. I have previously mentioned it in the first section of the book, yet with little difference is statements.

First Rite: Du`�' al-Nudbah

Third Rite:Supplication of the Covenant (Du`�' al-`Ahd)

Fourth Rite: Supplication for the Patron of the Age

Sayyid Ibn ��w�s says: When you intend to leave the holy sanctuary of Imam al-Mahd� (`a), you may return to the sublime vault and offer as many prayers as you wish therein. You may then stand up, turn your face towards the kiblah direction, and say this prayer:

You may then pray Almighty Allah as much as you can and leave with happiness, Allah willing.

As for Shaykh al-��s�, he, in his book of Mi�b�� al-Mutahajjid, reported this prayer from Imam al-Ri�� (`a) within the rites on Fridays. Hereinafter, I will record this prayer according to the narration of Shaykh al-��s�, who said:

It is narrated from Y�nus ibn `Abd al-Ra�m�n that Imam `Al� ibn M�s� al-Ri��, peace be upon him, used to order his companions and adherents to say the following prayer for sake of Imam al-Mahd�. Besides, it is strongly recommended to say it after the ziy�rah of Imam al-Mahd�, peace be upon him. The prayer is as follows: Mp3 new
