Virtues, description, and recitation method of ZIYARAH OF IMAM HUSAYN (A) ON THE 1ST OF RAJAB as recorded in Shia traditions.
اَلله اَكْبَرُ
You may then return to the side of the Imam's head to offer the (two-unit) prayer of ziyarah and pray Almighty Allah for yourself, your parents, and your brethren-in-faith. It is worth mentioning that Sayyid Ibn Tawus has mentioned a form of ziyarah of 'Ali al-Akbar (the elder son of Imam al- Husayn) and the other martyrs mentioning them by names. However, I will not cite this form hereinwith because of its lengthiness. RAJAB & 15TH OF SHABAN Fatimah alZahra', Allah is the Most Great.

Commander of the Faithful, and on behalf of your brother al-
وَ نَصَحْتَ وَ جَاهَدْتَ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللهِ
Hasan. And you advised and strove in the way of Allah and
وَ عَبَدْتَهُ مُخْلِصًا حَثِّى آَتَاكَ الْيَقِيْنُ
you served Him sincerely until death came upon you. So, may
