“Al-Rida (a.s.), has said, ‘My father was asked about visiting the gravesite of al-Husayn (a.s.), and he said, ‘Perform salat (prayer) in the Masjids around his gravesite. In all the shrines it is enough to say the following expressions: ‘(I hereby declare, affirm and acknowledge that you are a ‘Alayhi al-Salam and my) submission to (the commandments of) the appointed person of Allah as guardians over His creatures and His selected ones. (I hereby declare, affirm and acknowledge that you are a ‘Alayhi al-Salam and my) submission to (the commandments of) the trustees of Allah and His beloved ones. (I hereby declare, affirm and acknowledge that you are a ‘Alayhi al-Salam and my) submission to (the commandments of) the supporters of Allah and His deputies. (I hereby declare, affirm and acknowledge that you are a ‘Alayhi al-Salam and my) submission to (the commandments of) ones who are the places of learning about Allah. (I hereby declare, affirm and acknowledge that you are a ‘Alayhi al-Salam and my) submission to (the commandments of) the dwellers of places where Allah is spoken of. (I hereby declare, affirm and acknowledge that you are a ‘Alayhi al-Salam and my) submission to (the commandments of) the ones who publicize the commandments and prohibitions of Allah. (I hereby declare, affirm and acknowledge that you are a ‘Alayhi al-Salam and my) submission to (the commandments of) the ones who call toward Allah. (I hereby declare, affirm and acknowledge that you are a ‘Alayhi al-Salam and my) submission to (the commandments of) the ones who are settled with the pleasure of Allah. (I hereby declare, affirm and acknowledge that you are a ‘Alayhi al-Salam and my) submission to (the commandments of) the ones who are tested for their obedience to Allah. (I hereby declare, affirm and acknowledge that you are a ‘Alayhi al-Salam and my) submission to (the commandments of) the ones who provide direction toward knowing Allah. (I hereby declare, affirm and acknowledge that you are a ‘Alayhi al-Salam and my) submission to (the commandments of) the ones having whose love is loving Allah, animosity toward whom is animosity toward Allah, knowing them leads to know Allah, being ignorant of is ignorance of Allah, seeking protection with whom is seeking protection with Allah and keeping away from whom is keeping away from Allah. I testify that I am at peace with whomever you make peace with and I am at war against whoever you are at war. I believe in your secret and apparent status and I leave all matters upto you to decide. I appeal before Allah to condemn the enemies of Ale Muhammad (SAW), of Jinn and man and I denounce them before Allah. O Allah, grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause).’ This much is enough to say when visiting any one of the shrines. You should say, ‘O Allah, grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause) many times and mention them one by one by their names. Denounce before Allah their enemies and choose for yourself of the prayers whatever you like and for the believing men and women.’”
