اَللَهُمَّ اَرِنَا الرَّخَاءَ وَ السُّرُوْرَ
You should then turn around and make the tomb of Abu-'Abdullah in front of you (i.e. stop behind the tomb) and offer a six-unit prayer. Thus, you have accomplished the visitation of Imam al-Husayn's tomb. You may then leave, if you wish. (Here end the instructive words of Imam al-Sadig) This form of Ziyarah has been also reported by Shaykh al- Tusi, in Tahdhib al-Ahkam, and Shaykh al-Sadug, in man-la- yahzuruhul-faqih. Commenting on it, Shaykh al-Saduq says, "Although I have mentioned other forms of Ziyarah in my two books of al-Mazar and al-Maqtal, I have chosen this very form for this book, because it is the most authentically reported form, therefore, it covers what we need and meets the required terms." 'O Allah, (please) show us luxury and pleasure.'
