    "english": "Shaykh al-Tusi, in Tahdhib al-Ahkam and in Misbah al-Mutahajjid, has reported Imam al-Hasan al-’Askari (‘a) as saying, “The signs of a faithful believer are five: (1) offering fifty-one units of prayer (a day): seventeen units of the obligatory prayers and thirty-four units of the supererogatory (mustahab/nafilah) prayers, (2) visitation (of Imam al-Husayn’s tomb) on the Arba’in Day: the twentieth of Safar; forty days after the martyrdom of Imam al-Husayn, (3) wearing a ring in the right hand, (4) pressing the forehead (by very frequent prostration before Almighty Allah), and (5) raising the voice with bismi-llahir-rahmanir-rahim (basmalah: In the Name of Allah; the All-beneficent, the All-merciful).”\nTwo forms of ziyarah on the Arba’in Day have been mentioned in traditions:\nFIRST FORM OF ZIYARAH ON THE ARBA’EEN DAY:\nThe first has been reported by Shaykh al-Tusi, in Tahdhib al-Ahkam and Misbah al-Mutahajjid, from Safwan al-Jammal who said: My master al-Sadiq, Allah’s blessings be upon him, instructed me to visit Imam al-Husayn (‘a) on the Arba’in Day, advisably in the early forenoon, and to say the following words. You may then offer a two-unit prayer and then pray Almighty Allah for anything you like. Then, you may return.\nSECOND FORM OF ZIYARAH ON THE ARBA’EEN DAY:\nThe second form of ziyarah of Imam al-Husayn (‘a) on the Arba’in Day is reported from Jabir. ‘Ata has reported the following: I was accompanying Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah al-Ansari on the twentieth of Safar (the Arba’in Day). When we arrived at al-Ghaziriyyah, he bathed himself from the water of its river and then put on a pure shirt that he had carried with him. After that, he asked me, “Do you carry with you any fragrance, ‘Ata?” As I answered in the affirmative, I handed some fragrance over to him and he put some of it on his head and other organs. He then walked barefooted until he stopped at the side of Imam al-Husayn’s head. He then repeated three times the Takbir statement. He then fell to the ground fainted. When he recovered consciousness, I could hear him saying words similar to those mentioned in the ziyarah of the fifteenth of Rajab, with very few variations that, as maintained by Shaykh al-Tusi, came from differences in the manuscripts.",
    "kiswahili": "Shaykh al-Tusi, katika Tahdhib al-Ahkam na Misbah al-Mutahajjid, ameripoti kutoka kwa Imam al-Hasan al-‘Askari (‘a) akisema: “Alama za muumini wa kweli ni tano: (1) kuswali rakaa hamsini na moja kwa siku: kumi na saba za wajibu na thelathini na nne za sunna (nafilah), (2) kufanya ziara ya kaburi la Imam Husayn (‘a) katika siku ya Arba’in, yaani tarehe ishirini ya mwezi wa Safar, siku arobaini baada ya kuuawa shahidi kwa Imam Husayn (‘a), (3) kuvaa pete katika mkono wa kulia, (4) kutia paji la uso ardhini kwa kusujudu mara nyingi mbele ya Mwenyezi Mungu, na (5) kuinua sauti kwa kusema bismi-llahir-rahmanir-rahim.”\nKuna aina mbili za ziara ya siku ya Arba’in zilizotajwa katika mapokezi:\nAINA YA KWANZA YA ZIARA YA SIKU YA ARBA’IN:\nAina ya kwanza imeripotiwa na Shaykh al-Tusi katika Tahdhib al-Ahkam na Misbah al-Mutahajjid kutoka kwa Safwan al-Jammal aliyesema: Bwana wangu Imam al-Sadiq (‘a), rehma za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yake, aliniamuru nimtembelee Imam Husayn (‘a) katika siku ya Arba’in, inapendekezwa katika asubuhi ya mapema, na niseme maneno fulani. Baada ya hapo, mtu ataswali rakaa mbili na kumuomba Mwenyezi Mungu haja zake, kisha anaweza kurejea.\nAINA YA PILI YA ZIARA YA SIKU YA ARBA’IN:\nAina ya pili ya ziara ya Imam Husayn (‘a) katika siku ya Arba’in imeripotiwa kutoka kwa Jabir. ‘Ata amesimulia hivi: Nilikuwa nikiandamana na Jabir ibn ‘Abdillah al-Ansari katika siku ya ishirini ya Safar (Siku ya Arba’in). Tulipofika Ghaziriyyah, akaoga kwa maji ya mto wake, kisha akavaa shati safi lililokuwa naye. Baada ya hapo, akaniuliza: “Ewe ‘Ata, una manukato yoyote?” Niliposema ndio, nikampa manukato na akajipaka kichwani na sehemu nyingine za mwili wake. Kisha akatembea peku hadi akasimama karibu na kichwa cha Imam Husayn (‘a). Akasema Takbir mara tatu, kisha akaanguka na kupoteza fahamu. Alipozinduka, nilimsikia akisema maneno yanayofanana na yale yaliyotajwa katika ziara ya tarehe kumi na tano ya Rajab, isipokuwa tofauti ndogo ambazo, kama alivyoeleza Shaykh al-Tusi, zilitokana na tofauti za nakala za maandiko."
