Virtues, description, and recitation method of ZIYARAH OF THE HOLY PROPHET, LADY FATIMAH AL- as recorded in Shia traditions.
ZIYARAH OF THE HOLY PROPHET, LADY FATIMAH AL-
ZAHRA AND THE IMAMS IN AL BAQI CEMETERY
Be it known to you that it is confirmedly recommended for
everybody, especially the undertakers of hajj (i.e. hujjaj), to
have the honor to visit the pure paradise and the luminous
shrine of the glory of all ages, our master, the chief of all
Messengers, Muhammad the son of 'Abdullah - may Allah's
peace and blessings be upon him. Of course, to shun visiting
his holy tomb will be considered aversion on the
Resurrection Day.
Shaykh al-Shahid says, "If people shun visiting the tomb of
the Holy Prophet, the supreme religious authority must
oblige them to do so. In fact, to avoid visiting his holy tomb is
considered forbidden aversion."
Shaykh al-Saduq has reported Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq ('a) as
saying, "If you go on haji, you should seal it with visiting our
tombs. To visit our tombs is the completion of the hajj."
Imam 'Ali Amir al-Mu'minin ('a) is also reported as saying,
"Accomplish your hajj with visiting (the tomb of) the Holy
Prophet. To shun it after the hajj is aversion. You are ordered
to do so. Accomplish you hajj with visiting the tombs that
Almighty Allah has ordered you to honor and to visit. You
should pray for sustenance thereat.'
It has been also narrated that Abu'l-Salt al-Harawi asked
Imam al-Rida ('a) to explain to him the Hadith (i.e. tradition)
involving that the believers will visit their Lord while they will
be in their houses in Paradise. () Imam al-Rida ('a) answered,
"Listen, Abu'l-Salt! Certainly, Almighty Allah has preferred His
Prophet Muhammad - peace be upon him and his Household
- to all His creatures, including the Prophets and the angels.
He has also decided that to obey the Prophet is to obey Him,
to swear allegiance to the Prophet is to swear allegiance to
Him, and to visit the Prophet is to visit Him. In this respect,
He says, 'He who obeys the Messenger obeys Allah. 4/80'
'Verily, those who plight their fealty to you do no less than
plight their fealty to Allah. 48/10' The Holy Prophet (s) has
said, 'He who visits me during my lifetime or after my death
will have visited Almighty Allah etc.''
In Qurb al-Isnad, al-Himyari (the author) has narrated that
Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq ('a) reported the Holy Prophet (s) as
saying,
"On the Resurrection Day, I will intercede for those
who visit me in my lifetime or after my death."
Another Hadith reads that Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq ('a), once,
attended a celebration at al-Madinah. He then left towards
the holy tomb of the Holy Prophet (s) and greeted him. He
then said to the attendants, "Verily, we (i.e. people of al-
Madinah) have been preferred to all other cities, including
Makkah, that we can send greeting to the Messenger of Allah
(from his tomb).'
