Ziyarat of Imam Husain on Mondays
Peace be upon you, O son of Allah’s Messenger!
Peace be upon you, O son of the Commander of the Believers!
Peace be upon you, O son of the doyenne of the women of the world!
I bear witness that you performed the prayers [duly],
defrayed the poor-rate,
enjoined the right,
forbade the wrong,
worshipped Allah sincerely,
and strove for the sake of Allah with due striving
until death came upon you.
So, peace from me be upon you
as long as I am alive and as long as day and night remain,
and peace be upon your Household, the pure, the immaculate.
O my master, I am a servant of you and of your Household,
peaceful with those who keep peace with you,
at war against those who are at war against you,
and believing in your secret and open affairs
and your inward and outward affairs.
May Allah curse your enemies
from the past and late generations.
And I release myself from them before Almighty Allah!
O my master, Abu-Muhammad;
and my master, Abu-`Abdullah!
Today is Monday,
which is the day of both of you and carrying your names.
On this day, I am your guest;
therefore, receive me as your guest and treat me hospitably.
Verily, you both are the most excellent hosts a guest may gain.
On this day too, I am in your vicinity; so, treat me as your neighbor,
since you are commanded to receive your guests and neighbors hospitably.
May Allah’s peace be upon you both and upon your immaculate household.
