VISITING THE GRAVE OF THE COMMANDER OF THE FAITHFUL, PEACE BE UPON HIM
Hadith.3196 - When you come to al-Ghariyy, on the outskirts of Kufa, perform ghusl (ritual purification), and walk with calmness and dignity until you reach the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him. Face him with your body and say:
"Peace be upon you, O friend of Allah (swt). You are the first who was wronged and the first whose right was usurped. You were patient and sought reward until certainty (death) came to you. I bear witness that you met Allah (swt), the Mighty and Exalted, as a martyr. May Allah (swt) punish your killer with various forms of torment and renew that torment upon him.
I have come to you recognizing your right, understanding your station, opposing your enemies and those who wronged you. I place this before my Lord (azj), if Allah (swt) wills. I have many sins, so intercede for me with your Lord (azj), for you have a known station with Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, and you hold a position of honor and intercession with Him. Allah (swt), the Mighty and Exalted, has said, ‘They do not intercede except for those with whom He is pleased.’"
