Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Karbala and Ashura The Ziyarah of Imam Husayn The Ziyarah of ‘Ashura’ Peace be upon you, O Abu ′Abdullah. Peace be upon you, O son of the Messenger of Allah. Peace be upon you, O son of Amir al-Mu’minin (the commander of the faithful ones) and chief of the prophets’ successors. Peace be upon you, O son of Fatimah the chiefess of the women of this world.

Peace be on you, O he whose blood-claimer is Allah, He is the blood-claimer of your father also, as those who persecuted you, your relatives and friends have not been punished for the crimes. Peace be upon you and upon those souls who had gathered in your camp. I pray and invoke Allah to keep all of you tranquil and restful forever; so far I am alive, this is my prayer, and till nights and days follow each other.

O Abu ′Abdullah, unbearable is the sorrow; never-racking is the agony you put up with for us and for all (true) Muslims. Crimes committed against you also shocked and unnerved the dwellers of the heavens, one and all. Curse of Allah be on the people who laid the basis and set up the groundwork, to wander astray and turn aside from not only you and your family, but also to take liberties and bear hard upon you.

Curse of Allah be on the people who tried to obscure and deny your office and status, willfully neglected your rank and class Allah had made known in clear terms. Curse of Allah be on the people who killed you. Curse of Allah be on the abettors who instigated and had a part in the murder committed against you. I turn to you and Allah away from them, their henchmen, their followers, and their friends.

O Abu Abdullah, I make peace with those who make their peace with you, and make war against those who go to war against you until the Day of Judgment. Curse of Allah be on the family of Ziyad. Curse of Allah be on the family of Marwan. Curse of Allah be on the group and the tribe of Umayya, everyone, altogether. Curse of Allah be on son of Marjanah. Curse of Allah be on Omar ibn Sa’d. Curse of Allah be on Shemr.

Curse of Allah be on the people who saddled and put bridles (on their riding animals) and veiled (their faces as sings of getting ready) for fighting you. My father and mother be sacrificed for you. Profound is my sorrow for you.
