Musa ibn Abdillah al-Nakha'i asked Imam Ali al-Naqi al-Hadi (as) to teach him a comprehensive ziyarat he could recite at the grave of any of the Holy Imams (as). The Imam instructed him to bathe, proclaim the two testimonies at the gate of the shrine, and say takbir as he approached the tomb before reciting this ziyarat. Shaykh al-Saduq recorded it in Man La Yahduruhu al-Faqih and Uyun Akhbar al-Rida, and al-Allamah al-Majlisi describes it as the most authentic of the comprehensive ziyarat in chain, the most general in scope, the most eloquent in wording and the most sublime in meaning.

وَأَدِلاَّءَ عَلَىٰ صِرَاطِهِ عَصَمَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلزَّلَلِ وَآمَنَكُمْ مِنَ ٱلْفِتَنِ وَطَهَّرَكُمْ مِنَ ٱلدَّنَسِ

You are the people and the core of it (i.e. the truth). The inheritance of Prophethood is with you. The ultimate destination of the creatures is to you. Calling them to account is your mission.
وَفَصْلُ ٱلْخِطَابِ عِنْدَكُمْ وَآيَاتُ ٱللَّهِ لَدَيْكُمْ وَعَزَائِمُهُ فِيكُمْ وَنُورُهُ وَبُرْهَانُهُ عِنْدَكُمْ وَأَمْرُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ

وَشُهَدَاءُ دَارِ ٱلْفَنَاءِ وَشُفَعَاءُ دَارِ ٱلْبَقَاءِ وَٱلرَّحْمَةُ ٱلْمَوْصُولَةُ وَٱلآيَةُ ٱلْمَخْزُونَةُ وَٱلْأَمَانَةُ ٱلْمَحْفُوظَةُ
wa shuhada'u dari alfana'i wa shufa`a'u dari albaqa'i walrrahmatu almawsulatu wal-ayatu almakhzunatu wal-amanatu almahfuzatu
the witnesses of this abode of extinction, the intercessors in the abode of permanence, the connected mercy, the stored sign, the safeguarded deposit,
وَٱلْبَابُ ٱلْمُبْتَلَىٰ بِهِ ٱلنَّاسُ مَنْ أَتَاكُمْ نَجَا وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ هَلَكَ إِلَىٰ ٱللَّهِ تَدْعُونَ
walbabu almubtala bihi alnnasu man atakum naja wa man lam ya'tikum halaka ila allahi tad`una
and the door with which people are put to test. Whoever comes to will have been saved but whoever refrains from joining you will have perished. To Allah do you invite people,
وَعَلَيْهِ تَدُلُّونَ وَبِهِ تُؤْمِنُونَ وَلَهُ تُسَلِّمُونَ وَبِأَمْرِهِ تَعْمَلُونَ وَإِلَىٰ سَبِيلِهِ تُرْشِدُونَ
wa `alayhi tadulluna wa bihi tu'minuna wa lahu tusallimuna wa bi'amrihi ta`maluna wa ila sabilihi turshiduna
towards him do you show the way, in Him do you believe, to Him do you submit, upon His command do you act, to His path do you direct,
وَبِقَوْلِهِ تَحْكُمُونَ سَعَدَ مَنْ وَالاَكُمْ وَهَلَكَ مَنْ عَادَاكُمْ وَخَابَ مَنْ جَحَدَكُمْ
wa biqawlihi tahkumuna sa`ada man walakum wa halaka man `adakum wa khaba man jahadakum
and according to His saying do you judge. Happy is he who is loyal to you, desolate is he who forsakes you, disappointed is he who denies you,
وَضَلَّ مَنْ فَارَقَكُمْ وَفَازَ مَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِكُمْ وَأَمِنَ مَنْ لَجَأَ إِلَيْكُمْ
wa dalla man faraqakum wa faza man tamassaka bikum wa amina man laja' ilaykum
straying off is he who separates himself from you, winner is he who adheres to you, secured is he who resorts to you,
وَسَلِمَ مَنْ صَدَّقَكُمْ وَهُدِيَ مَنِ ٱعْتَصَمَ بِكُمْ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكُمْ فَٱلْجَنَّةُ مَأْوَاهُ وَمَنْ خَالَفَكُمْ فَٱلنَّارُ مَثْوَاهُ
wa salima man saddaqakum wa hudiya man i`tasama bikum man ittaba`akum faljannatu ma'wahu wa man khalafakum falnnaru mathwahu
saved is he who gives credence to you, and rightly guided is he who takes shelter in you. As to whoever follows you, Paradise will be his abode. As to whoever dissents you, Hellfire will be his dwelling.
وَمَنْ جَحَدَكُمْ كَافِرٌ وَمَنْ حَارَبَكُمْ مُشْرِكٌ وَمَنْ رَدَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي أَسْفَلِ دَرْكٍ مِنَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
wa man jahadakum kafirun wa man harabakum mushrikun wa man radda `alaykum fi asfali darakin min aljahimi
He who denies you is unbeliever, he who makes war against you is polytheist, and he who objects to you will be in the lowest tier of the burning fire.
أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ هٰذَا سَابِقٌ لَكُمْ فِيمَا مَضَىٰ وَجَارٍ لَكُمْ فِيمَا بَقِيَ
ashhadu anna hadha sabiqun lakum fima mada wa jarin lakum fima baqiya
I bear witness that all the previous was pre-decided for you and it will continue in the future;
وَأَنَّ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ وَنُورَكُمْ وَطينَتَكُمْ وَاحِدَةٌ طَابَتْ وَطَهُرَتْ بَعْضُهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ
wa anna arwahakum wa nurakum wa tinatakum wahidatun tabat wa tahurat ba`duha min ba`din
and that your souls, your light, and your form are the same; blessed and purified, and one of the other.
خَلَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ أَنْوَاراً فَجَعَلَكُمْ بِعَرْشِهِ مُحْدِقِينَ حَتَّىٰ مَنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِكُمْ فَجَعَلَكُمْ فِي بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ ٱللَّهُ أَنْ تُرْفَعَ وَيُذْكَرَ فِيهَا ٱسْمُهُ
khalaqakum allahu anwaran faja`alakum bi`arshihi muhdiqina hatta manna `alayna bikum faja`alakum fi buyutin adhina allahu an turfa`a wa yudhkara fiha ismuhu
Allah created you as lights; He then made you observe from His Throne until He endued us with the favor of your existence (among us) and then placed you in houses that He allowed to be raised and to have His Name mentioned therein.
وَجَعَلَ صَلَوَاتِنَا عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَا خَصَّنَا بِهِ مِنْ وِلاَيَتِكُمْ طِيباً لِخَلْقِنَا وَطَهَارَةً لأَنْفُسِنَا وَتَزْكِيَةً لَنَا وَكَفَّارَةً لِذُنُوبِنَا
wa ja`ala salatana `alaykum wa ma khassana bihi min wilayatikum tiban likhalqina wa taharatan li'anfusina wa tazkiyatan lana wa kaffaratan lidhunubina
He also decided our invocation of blessings upon you and our loyalty to you to be immaculacy of our creation, purity of our souls, refinement of our manners, and forgiveness of our sins.
فَكُنَّا عِنْدَهُ مُسَلِّمِينَ بِفَضْلِكُمْ وَمَعْرُوفِينَ بِتَصْدِيقِنَا إِيَّاكُمْ فَبَلَغَ ٱللَّهُ بِكُمْ أَشْرَفَ مَحَلِّ ٱلْمُكَرَّمِينَ

We have thus become, with Him, of those believing in your precedence and of those known for their giving credence to you. Thus, Allah has raised you to the most principled place of the honored ones,
وَأَعْلَىٰ مَنَازِلِ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَأَرْفَعَ دَرَجَاتِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ حَيْثُ لَا يَلْحَقُهُ لاَحِقٌ
wa a`la manazili almuqarrabina wa arfa`a darajati almursalina haythu la yalhaquhu lahiqun

وَلاَ يَفُوقُهُ فَائِقٌ وَلاَ يَسْبِقُهُ سَابِقٌ وَلاَ يَطْمَعُ فِي إِدْرَاكِهِ طَامِعٌ حَتَّىٰ لَا يَبْقَىٰ مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ

rabbana amanna bima anzalta wattaba`na alrrasula faktubna ma`a alshshahidina
O our Lord, we believe in that which You have sent down and we follow the Messenger; so, write our names among those who bear witness.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱلْوَهَّابُ
rabbana la tuzigh qulubana ba`da idh hadaytana wa hab lana min ladunka rahmatan innaka anta alwahhabu
Our Lord, cause not our hearts to stray after You have guided us, and bestow upon us mercy from Your Presence. Lo! You, only You, are the Bestower.
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّنَا إِنْ كَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفْعُولاًَ يَا وَلِيَّ ٱللَّهِ إِنَّ بَيْنِي وَبيْنَ ٱللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ذُنُوباً
subhana rabbina in kana wa`du rabbina lamaf`ulan ya waliyya allahi inna bayni wa bayna allahi `azza wa jalla dhunuban
Glory be to our Lord for in fact the promise of our Lord immediately takes effect. O vicegerent of Allah!( ) There stand between me and Allah the Almighty and All-majestic, sins
لَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا رِضَاكُمْ فَبِحَقِّ مَنِ ٱئْتَمَنَكُمْ عَلَىٰ سِرِّهِ وَٱسْتَرْعَاكُمْ أَمْرَ خَلْقِهِ
la ya'ti `alayha illa ridakum fabihaqqi man i'tamanakum `ala sirrihi wastar`akum amra khalqihi
that cannot be demolished except by attaining your satisfaction. Therefore, [I beseech you] in the name of the One Who has entrusted you with His secret, assigned you to supervise the affairs of His creatures,
وَقَرَنَ طَاعَتَكُمْ بِطَاعَتِهِ لَمَّا ٱسْتَوْهَبْتُمْ ذُنُوبِي وَكُنْتُمْ شُفَعَائِي
wa qarana ta`atakum bita`atihi lamma istawhabtum dhunubi wa kuntum shufa`a'i
and attached the obedience to Him with the obedience to you, to (please) endue me with the favor of absolving my sins and to be my intercessors,
فَإِنِّي لَكُمْ مُطِيعٌ مَنْ أَطَاعَكُمْ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ ٱللَّهَ وَمَنْ عَصَاكُمْ فَقَدْ عَصَىٰ ٱللَّهَ
fa'inni lakum muti`un man ata`akum faqd ata`a allaha wa man `asakum faqad `asa allaha
for I am obedient to you. He who obeys you has in fact obeyed Allah, he who disobeys you has in fact disobeyed Allah,
وَمَنْ أَحَبَّكُمْ فَقَدْ أَحَبَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَكُمْ فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَ ٱللَّهَ
wa man ahabbakum faqad ahabba allaha wa man abghadakum faqad abghada allaha
he who loves you has in fact loved Allah, and he who hates you has in fact hated Allah.
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَوْ وَجَدْتُ شُفَعَاءَ أَقْرَبَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ مُحَمِّد وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ٱلْأَخْيَارِ ٱلْأَئِمَّةِ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ
allahumma inni law wajadtu shufa`a'a aqraba ilayka min muhammadin wa ahli baytihi al-akhyari al-a'immati al-abrari
O Allah, had I known interceders that are closer to You than Muhammad and his Household the virtuous and pious Imams,
لَجَعَلْتُهُمْ شُفَعَائِي فَبِحَقِّهِمُ ٱلَّذِي أَوْجَبْتَ لَهُمْ عَلَيْكَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُدْخِلَنِي فِي جُمْلَةِ ٱلْعَارِفِينَ بِهِمْ وَبِحَقِّهِمْ
laja`altuhum shufa`a'i fabihaqqihim alladhi awjabta lahum `alayka as'aluka an tudkhilani fi jumlati al`arifina bihim wa bihaqqihim
I would have chosen them as my intercessors. So, [I beseech You] in the name of their Right that You have made obligatory upon You, (please) include me with the group of those who recognize their Right and them
وَفِي زُمْرَةِ ٱلْمَرْحُومِينَ بِشَفَاعَتِهِمْ إِنَّكَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ
wa fi zumrati almarhumina bishafa`atihim innaka arhamu alrrahimina
and with the assembly of those who are shown mercy owing to their (i.e. Muhammad and his Household) intercession. Verily, You are the most merciful of all those who show mercy.
وَصَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ ٱلطَّاهِرينَ وَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً كَثِيراً وَحَسْبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ ٱلْوَكِيلُ
wa salla allahu `ala muhammadin wa alihi alttahirina wa sallama tasliman kathiran wa hasbuna allahu wa ni`ma alwakilu
May Allah send blessings upon Muhammad and his immaculate Household and send His thorough peace upon them. Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust.
