While I was like that when I heard footsteps by our Master Musa ‑asws , and there was a man visiting (performing Ziyaarat).
فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى آدَمَ وَ أُولِي الْعَزْمِ ع ثُمَّ الْأَئِمَّةِ وَاحِداً وَاحِداً إِلَى أَنِ انْتَهَى إِلَى صَاحِبِ الزَّمَانِ ع فَلَمْ يَذْكُرْهُ فَعَجِبْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ قُلْتُ لَعَلَّهُ نَسِيَ أَوْ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ أَوْ هَذَا مَذْهَبٌ لِهَذَا الرَّجُلِ He greeted unto Adam -as , and the Determined ones (from the Prophets -as ), then the Imams ‑asws one by one, until he ended to Master of the Time -ajfj . He did not mention him -ajfj .
I was surprised from that and said, ‘Perhaps he forgot or did not recognise, or this is a doctrine of this man’.
فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ زِيَارَتِهِ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى عِنْدِ مَوْلَانَا أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فَزَارَ مِثْلَ الزِّيَارَةِ وَ ذَلِكَ السَّلَامَ وَ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ أَنَا خَائِفٌ مِنْهُ إِذْ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ وَ رَأَيْتُهُ شَابّاً تَامّاً مِنَ الرِّجَالِ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ بَيَاضٌ وَ عِمَامَةٌ مُحَنَّكٌ بِهَا بِذُؤَابَةٍ وَرْدِيٍّ عَلَى كَتِفِهِ مُسْبَلٌ When he was free from his Ziyaarat, he prayed two Cycles Salat and faced towards our Master Abu Ja’far -asws .
He performed Ziyaarat, a similar Ziyaarat, and that greetings, and he prayed two Cycles Salat, and I was fearful from him when I did not recognise him and I saw him being a complete youth from the men. Upon him were white clothes and a turban, he had wrapped under the child with it its end turning upon his shoulder, hanging. فَقَالَ لِي يَا بَا الْحُسَيْنِ بْنَ أَبِي الْبَغْلِ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ عَنْ دُعَاءِ الْفَرَجِ He said to me, ‘O Abu Al-Husayn Bin Abu Al-Baagl!
Where are you from the supplication of relief (Dua Al Faraj)?’ فَقُلْتُ وَ مَا هُوَ يَا سَيِّدِي I said, ‘And what is it, O my chief?’ فَقَالَ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ يَا مَنْ أَظْهَرَ الْجَمِيلَ وَ سَتَرَ الْقَبِيحَ يَا مَنْ لَمْ يُؤَاخِذْ بِالْجَرِيرَةِ وَ لَمْ يَهْتِكِ السِّتْرَ يَا عَظِيمَ الْمَنِّ يَا كَرِيمَ الصَّفْحِ يَا حَسَنَ التَّجَاوُزِ يَا وَاسِعَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ يَا بَاسِطَ الْيَدَيْنِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ يَا مُنْتَهَى كُلِّ نَجْوَى يَا غَايَةَ كُلِّ شَكْوَى يَا عَوْنَ كُلِّ مُسْتَعِينٍ يَا مُبْتَدِئاً بِالنِّعَمِ قَبْلَ اسْتِحْقَاقِهَا He said, ‘You should pray two Cycles Salat and say, ‘‘Say: ‘O One Who Reveals the beautiful!
O One Who Conceals the ugliness! O One Who does not Seize for the crimes! O One Who does not Violate the privacy! O Mighty of the Conferment! O Benevolent of the Pardon! O Excellent of the Overlooking!
