Virtues, description, and recitation method of ZIYARAH OF LADY FATIMAH AL-ZAHRA' as recorded in Shia traditions.
Fadhila, maelezo, na njia ya usomaji wa ZIYARAH WA BIBI FATIMAH AL-ZAHRA' kama ilivyopokelewa katika mapokezi ya Shia.
يَا مُمْتَحَنَةُ
In Tahdhib al-Ahkam, Shaykh al-Tusi says that the narrations dealing with the merits and rewards of visiting the tomb of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra' ('a) are too numerous to be counted. From the book of Misbah al-Anwar, 'Allamah al-Majlisi has reported Lady Fatimah al-Zahra' ('a) as saying, "My father you, Almighty Allah will forgive him and will join him to me in Paradise wherever l am."
Katika Tahdhib al-Ahkam, Shaykh al-Tusi anasema kwamba riwaya zinazohusu sifa na thawabu za kuzuru kaburi la Bibi Fatimah al-Zahra' ('a) ni nyingi mno kuweza kuhesabiwa. Kutoka katika kitabu cha Misbah al-Anwar, 'Allamah al-Majlisi amepokea Bibi Fatimah al-Zahra' ('a) akisema, "Baba yangu wewe, Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu utamsamehe na utamshirikisha kwangu Peponi popote nilipo."

waaminini wote wawili (yaani Mtukufu Mtume na Imam Ali),

so that we may feel happy that we have been purified on account of our loyalty to you.

forgiveness. Verily, You are the All-generous Lord of pardon. In Tahdhib al-Ahkam, Shaykh al-Tusi says that the narrations dealing with the merits and rewards of visiting the tomb of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra' ('a) are too numerous to be counted. From the book of Misbah al-Anwar, 'Aliamah al-Majlisi has reported Lady Fatimah al-Zahra' ('a) as saying, "My father you, Almighty Allah will forgive him and will join him to me in Paradise wherever l am.'
msamaha. Hakika Wewe ni Mola Mlezi wa msamaha. Katika Tahdhib al-Ahkam, Shaykh al-Tusi anasema kwamba riwaya zinazohusu sifa na thawabu za kuzuru kaburi la Bibi Fatimah al-Zahra' ('a) ni nyingi mno kuweza kuhesabiwa. Kutoka katika kitabu cha Misbah al-Anwar, 'Aliamah al-Majlisi amepokea Bibi Fatimah al-Zahra' ('a) akisema, "Baba yangu wewe, Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu utamsamehe na utamshirikisha kwangu Peponi popote nilipo."
