Of the several prescribed Ziyarat of Imam al-Husain (PBUH), one was recited by Imam al-Mahdi (PBUH) and reached us through one of his four special deputies. For that reason, it is known as the Ziyarat that was issued from the sacred side (Ziyarat al-Nahiya al-Muqaddasa). One of the most important features of this Ziyarat is that in different phrases, Imam al-Mahdi (PBUH) graphically describes the events of Ashura and the agony that Imam al-Husain (PBUH) and his family faced on that horrific and ominous day.

وَ هِمَّتُكَ عَنْ زينَتِها مَصْرُوفَةٌ،
your efforts were far-removed from its embellishments,
وَ ألْحاظُكَ عَنْ بَهْجَتِها مَطْرُوفَةٌ،
your glances removed from its joys,
وَ رَغْبَتُكَ فِي الآخِرَةِ مَعْرُوفَةٌ،
and your desire for the hereafter was well-known,
حَتّى إذَا الْجَوْرُ مَدَّ باعَهُ،
even when tyranny became wide-spread,
وَ أسْفَرَ الظُّلْمُ قِناعَهُ،
injustice removed its veil,
وَ دَعَا الْغَيُّ أتْباعَهُ،
wickedness called upon its followers,
وَ أنْتَ في حَرَمِ جَدِّكَ قاطِنٌ،
and you were residing in the sanctuary of your grandfather,
وَ لِلظّالِمينَ مُبايِنٌ،
detached from the oppressors,
جَليسُ الْبَيْتِ وَ الْمِحْرابِ،
sitting in the house and the prayer niche,
مُعْتَزِلٌ عَنِ اللَّذّاتِ وَ الشَّهَواتِ،
unattached to (worldly) pleasures and carnal desires,
تُنْكِرُ الْمُنْكَرَ بِقَلْبِكَ وَ لِسانِكَ، عَلى حَسَبِ طاقَتِكَ وَ إمْكانِكَ،
and renouncing evil in your heart and on your tongue to the extent of your strength and ability.
ثُمَّ اقْتَضاكَ الْعِلْمُ لِلإْنْكارِ،
then the knowledge demanded you for disavowal (of falsehood),
وَ لَزِمَكَ [ألْزَمَكَ] أنْ تُجاهِدَ الْفُجّارَ،
and made it incumbent on you to struggle against the deviant.
فَسِرْتَ في أوْلادِكَ وَ أهاليكَ، وَ شيعَتِكَ وَ مَواليكَ
therefore, you set out in company of your children, kinsfolk, followers, and supporters,
وَ صَدَعْتَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ الْبَيِّنَةِ،
disclosed the truth and clear proofs,
وَ دَعَوْتَ إلَى اللهِ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ،
summoned people towards Allah with wisdom and fine exhortation,
وَ أمَرْتَ بِإقامَةِ الْحُدُودِ، وَ الطّاعَةِ لِلْمَعْبُودِ،
ordered the establishment of the limits of divine law, and the obedience to the One Who should be worshipped,
وَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْخَبائِثِ وَ الطُّغْيانِ،
and forbade (people) from wickedness and oppression.
وَ واجَهُوكَ بِالظُّلْمِ وَ الْعُدْوانِ،
But, they confronted you with injustice and aggression.
فَجاهَدْتَهُمْ بَعْدَ الإيعازِ لَهُمْ [الإيعادِ إلَيْهِمْ] وَ تَأْكيدِ الْحُجَّةِ عَلَيْهِمْ،
therefore, you resisted them after advising them and stressing over (divine) proofs against them.
فَنَكَثُوا ذِمامَكَ وَ بَيْعَتَكَ،
However, they violated your (divine) rights and oath.
وَ أسْخَطُوا رَبَّكَ وَ جَدَّكَ،
angered your Lord and your grandfather,
وَ بَدَؤُوكَ بِالْحَرْبِ،
and initiated battle against you.
فَثَبَتَّ لِلطَّعْنِ وَ الضَّرْبِ،
Hence, you stood firm to spear and strike,
وَ طَحَنْتَ جُنُودَ الْفُجّارِ، وَ اقْتَحَمْتَ قَسْطَلَ الْغُبارِ،
pulverized the soldiers of the transgressors, and stormed (courageously) into the dust of the battle,
مُجالِداً بِذِى الْفَقارِ، كَأنَّكَ عَلِيٌّ الْمُخْتارُ،
fighting with thulfaqar as if you were Ali, the chosen one.
فَلَمّا رَأوْكَ ثابِتَ الْجاشِ، غَيْرَ خائِفٍ وَ لا خاشٍ،
So when they saw you firm, fearless, and courageous,
نَصَبُوا لَكَ غَوائِلَ مَكْرِهِمْ، وَ قاتَلُوكَ بِكَيْدِهِمْ وَ شَرِّهِمْ،
they set up their most malicious deceptions against you, and fought you with their deceit and viciousness.
وَ أمَرَ اللَّعينُ جُنُودَهُ، فَمَنَعُوكَ الْماءَ وَ وُرُودَهُ،
the accursed one (Umar Ibn Sa’d) commanded his soldiers, and thus, they prevented you from reaching or receiving water.
وَ ناجَزُوكَ الْقِتالَ، وَ عاجَلُوكَ النِّزالَ،
they rushed to engage you in combat, descended swiftly upon you,
وَ رَشَقُوكَ بِالسِّهامِ وَ النِّبالِ،
showering you with arrows and stones,
وَ بَسَطُوا إلَيْكَ أكُفَّ الإصْطِلامِ،
and moving towards you with uprooting hands.
وَ لَمْ يَرْعَوْا لَكَ ذِماماً، وَ لا راقَبُوا فيكَ أثاماً، في قَتْلِهِمْ أوْلِياءَكَ، وَ نَهْبِهِمْ رِحالَكَ،
Neither they respected your rights, nor were they mindful of retribution for slaying you and your companions, and plundering your belongings.
وَ أنْتَ مُقَدَّمٌ فِي الْهَبَواتِ، وَ مُحْتَمِلٌ لِلأذِيّاتِ،
You were in the front line of the storm (of battle), enduring afflictions.
قَدْ عَجِبَتْ مِنْ صَبْرِكَ مَلائِكَةُ السَّماواتِ،
Indeed, the angels of the heavens were astonished by your patience.
فَأحْدَقُوا بِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ الْجِهاتِ،
the enemy then surrounded you from all sides,
وَ أثْخَنُوكَ بِالْجِراحِ،
weakened you by inflicting wounds,
وَ حالُوا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ الرَّواحِ،
prevented you from taking any repose,
وَ لَمْ يَبْقَ لَكَ ناصِرٌ،
and you had no helper remaining.
وَ أنْتَ مُحْتَسِبٌ صابِرٌ،
You were bereaved yet patient,
تَذُبُّ عَنْ نِسْوَتِكَ وَ أوْلادِكَ،
defending your women and children,
حَتّى نَكَسُوكَ عَنْ جَوادِكَ،
until they caused you to fall from your horse.
فَهَوَيْتَ إلَى الأرْضِ جَريحاً،
You fell to the ground, wounded,
تَطَؤُكَ الْخُيُولُ بِحَوافِرِها،
horses trampled you with their hooves,
وَ تَعْلُوكَ الطُّغاةُ بِبَواتِرِها،
tyrants raised their swords against you,
قَدْ رَشَحَ لِلْمَوْتِ جَبينُكَ،
the sweat of death appeared on your forehead,
وَ اخْتَلَفَتْ بِالاِنْقِباضِ وَ الإنْبِساطِ شِمالُكَ وَ يَمينُكَ،
and you continually clenched and unclenched your hands,
تُديرُ طَرْفاً خَفِيّاً إلى رَحْلِكَ وَ بَيْتِكَ،
secretly gazing upon your caravan and tents,
وَ قَدْ شُغِلْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ عَنْ وُلْدِكَ وَ أهاليكَ،
while trapped by yourself away from your children and family.
وَ أسْرَعَ فَرَسُكَ شارِداً، إلى خِيامِكَ قاصِداً، مُحَمْحِماً باكِياً،
(At that time,) your horse distractedly galloped towards your camp, neighing and crying.
فَلَمّا رَأيْنَ النِّساءُ جَوادَكَ مَخْزِيّاً،
When the women saw your horse distraught,
وَ نَظَرْنَ سَرْجَكَ عَلَيْهِ مَلْوِيّاً،
and observed your saddle contorted,
بَرَزْنَ مِنَ الْخُدُورِ،
they came from the tents,
ناشِراتِ الشُّعُورِ،
disheveling their hair,
عَلَى الْخُدُودِ لاطِماتِ الْوُجُوهِ سافِراتٍ،
striking their now unveiled cheeks,
وَ بِالْعَويلِ داعِياتٍ،
calling you by lamenting and wailing,
وَ بَعْدَ الْعِزِّ مُذَلَّلاتِ،
being humiliated after being honored,
وَ إلى مَصْرَعِكَ مُبادِراتٍ،
hastening to where you lay wounded.
وَ الشِّمْرُ جالِسٌ عَلى صَدْرِكَ،
At that time Shimr (L) was sitting on your chest,
وَ مُولِغٌ سَيْفَهُ عَلى نَحْرِكَ،
quenching his sword with (the blood of) your throat,
قابِضٌ عَلى شَيْبَتِكَ بِيَدِهِ،
grabbing your beard with his hand,
ذابِحٌ لَكَ بِمُهَنَّدِهِ،
as he slew you with his sword.
قَدْ سَكَنَتْ حَواسُّكَ،
Your faculties faded,
وَ خَفِيَتْ أنْفاسُكَ،
your breath became shallow and ceased,
وَ رُفِعَ عَلَى الْقَناةِ رَأْسُكَ،
and your head was raised onto a spear.
وَ سُبِيَ أهْلُكَ كَالْعَبيدِ،
Your family were captured like slaves,
وَ صُفِّدُوا فِي الْحَديدِ فَوْقَ أقْتابِ الْمَطِيّاتِ،
bound with iron chains atop camels,
تَلْفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمْ حَرُّ الْهاجِراتِ،
with midday heat scorching their faces.
يُساقُونَ فِي الْبَراري وَ الْفَلَواتِ،
they were driven across deserts and wastelands,
أيْديهِمْ مَغلُولَةٌ إلَى الأعْناقِ،
with their hands chained to their necks,
يُطافُ بِهِمْ فِي الأسْواقِ،
and were paraded around the markets.
فَالْوَيْلُ لِلْعُصاةِ الْفُسّاقِ،
Woe be unto the wicked transgressors!
لَقَدْ قَتَلُوا بِقَتْلِكَ الإسْلامَ،
Certainly, by killing you, they have killed Islam,
وَ عَطَّلُوا الصَّلوةَ وَ الصِّيامَ،
disrupted (the truth of) prayer and fasting,
وَ نَقَضُوا السُّنَنَ وَ الأحْكامَ،
revoked the (prophetic) customs and the (divine) laws,
وَ هَدَمُوا قَواعِدَ الإيمانِ،
destroyed the pillars of faith,
وَ حَرَّفُوا آياتِ الْقُرْآنِ،
distorted the verses of the Quran,
وَ هَمْلَجُوا فِي الْبَغْيِ وَ الْعُدْوانِ،
and brutally rushed into tyranny and aggression.
لَقَدْ أصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ مَوْتُوراً،
Certainly, (by this event,) the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) was wronged, left alone, and denied vengeance,
وَ عادَ كِتابُ اللهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ مَهْجُوراً،
the Book of Allah, the mighty and the majestic, was again abandoned,
وَ غُودِرَ الْحَقُّ إذْ قُهِرْتَ مَقْهُوراً،
truth was betrayed when you were forcibly overcome,
وَ فُقِدَ بِفَقْدِكَ التَّكْبيرُ وَ التَّهْليلُ،
And with your loss, call for Allah’s glorification and His Unity,
وَالتَّحْريمُ وَ التَّحْليلُ، وَ التَّنْزيلُ وَ التَّأْويلُ،
His prohibitions, sanctions, revelation, and interpretation were lost.
وَ ظَهَرَ بَعْدَكَ التَّغْييرُ وَ التَّبْديلُ، وَ الإلْحادُ وَ التَّعْطيلُ، وَ الأهْواءُ وَ الأضاليلُ، وَ الْفِتَنُ وَ الأباطيلُ،
After you, alteration, distortion, infidelity, abandonment (of the Islamic laws), vagary, misguidance, turmoil and falsehood became prevalent.
فَقامَ ناعيكَ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ جَدِّكَ الرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ،
the announcer of your martyrdom came near the grave of your grandfather, the Messenger (PBUH&HF),
فَنَعاكَ إلَيْهِ بِالدَّمْعِ الْهَطُولِ، قائِلا:
gave the news to him with tears flowing, saying:
يا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قُتِلَ سِبْطُكَ وَ فَتاكَ،
0 the Messenger of Allah! Your brave grandson was slain,
وَ اسْتُبيحَ أهْلُكَ وَ حِماكَ،
and abuse of your family and supporters were deemed lawful.
وَ سُبِيَتْ بَعْدَكَ ذَراريكَ،
After you, your progeny were captured,
وَ وَقَعَ الْمَحْذُورُ بِعِتْرَتِكَ وَ ذَويكَ،
and adversity befell your family and your offspring.
فَانْزَعَجَ الرَّسُولُ، وَ بَكى قَلْبُهُ الْمَهُولُ،
Indeed, the Messenger (PBUH&HF) became distressed and his depressed heart wept,
وَ عَزّاهُ بِكَ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَ الأنْبِياءُ،
the Angels and the prophets offered their condolences to him for your martyrdom,
وَ فُجِعَتْ بِكَ اُمُّكَ الزَّهْراءُ،
Your mother, al-Zahra, became distressed and bereft of you,
وَ اخْتَلَفَتْ جُنُودُ الْمَلائِكَةِ الْمُقَرَّبينَ، تُعَزّي أباكَ أميرَالْمُؤْمِنينَ،
Legions of favored Angels came in waves to offer their condolences to your father, the Leader of the Faithful,
وَ اُقيمَتْ لَكَ الْمَآتِمُ في أعْلا عِلِّيّينَ،
Mourning commemorations were held for you in the utmost exalted place Heaven,
وَ لَطَمَتْ عَلَيْكَ الْحُورُ الْعينُ،
and the dark-eyed Maidens (of Paradise) hit their own heads and faces in grief,
وَ بَكَتِ السَّماءُ وَ سُكّانُها،
the skies and their inhabitants wept,
وَ الْجِنانُ وَ خُزّانُها،
as did Paradise and its keepers,
وَ الْهِضابُ وَ أقْطارُها،
the mountains and their surroundings,
وَ الْبِحارُ وَ حيتانُها،
the oceans and their fishes,
وَ الْجِنانُ وَ وِلْدانُها،
the heavens and their servants,
وَ الْبَيْتُ وَ الْمَقامُ،
the House (Ka’ba), and the Station (of Abraham),
وَ الْمَشْعَرُ الْحَرامُ،
the Sacred Monument,
وَ الْحِلُّ وَ الإحْلإحْرامُ،
and Mecca and its sanctuary.
اَللّهُمَّ فَبِحُرْمَةِ هذَا الْمَكانِ الْمُنيفِ،
O Allah! By the sanctity of this exalted place (the tomb of Imam al-Husain (PBUH)),
صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ،
