كَانَ أَبِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقِفُ عَلَى قَبْرِ النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَيُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ وَ يَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِالْبَلَاغِ وَ يَدْعُو بِمَا حَضَرَهُ ثُمَّ يُسْنِدُ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى الْمَرْوَةِ الْخَضْرَاءِ الدَّقِيقَةِ الْعَرْضِ مِمَّا يَلِي الْقَبْرَ وَ يَلْتَزِقُ بِالْقَبْرِ وَ يُسْنِدُ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ يَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ أَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي وَ إِلَى قَبْرِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ أَسْنَدْتُ ظَهْرِي وَ الْقِبْلَةَ الَّتِي رَضِيتَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) اسْتَقْبَلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ لَا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي خَيْرَ مَا أَرْجُو وَ لَا أَدْفَعُ عَنْهَا شَرَّ مَا أَحْذَرُ عَلَيْهَا وَ أَصْبَحَتِ الْأُمُورُ بِيَدِكَ فَلَا فَقِيرَ أَفْقَرُ مِنِّي إِنِّي لِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ اللَّهُمَّ ارْدُدْنِي مِنْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَإِنَّهُ لَا رَادَّ لِفَضْلِكَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ تُبَدِّلَ اسْمِي أَوْ تُغَيِّرَ جِسْمِي أَوْ تُزِيلَ نِعْمَتَكَ عَنِّي اللَّهُمَّ كَرِّمْنِي بِالتَّقْوَى وَ جَمِّلْنِي بِالنِّعَمِ وَ اغْمُرْنِي بِالْعَافِيَةِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي شُكْرَ الْعَافِيَةِ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Al Husayn Bin Ali Al Kufy, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, (It has been narrated) from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Usman Bin Ali, son of Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> son of Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Abu Talib<sup>asws</sup>, from his brother Al-Hassan Bin Musa<sup>asws</sup>, from his<sup>asws</sup> brother, from his grandfather<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘My<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> Ali<sup>asws</sup> Bin Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup> would pause at the grave of the Prophet<sup>saww</sup>, so he<sup>asws</sup> would greet upon him<sup>saww</sup>, and he<sup>asws</sup> would testify to him<sup>saww</sup> with the delivery (of the Message), and supplicate with what presented to him<sup>asws</sup>. Then he<sup>asws</sup> would incline his<sup>asws</sup> back towards the green rock displayed on the ground from what follows the grave, and he<sup>asws</sup> would incline his<sup>asws</sup> back towards the grave, and he<sup>asws</sup> would face the Qiblah and he<sup>asws</sup> was saying: ‘To You<sup>azwj</sup> I<sup>asws</sup> I seek Support of my<sup>asws</sup> back, and to the grave of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> Your<sup>azwj</sup> servant, and Your<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup>. I<sup>asws</sup> incline my<sup>asws</sup> back and the Qiblah which Your<sup>azwj</sup> were Pleased with Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> have I<sup>asws</sup> turned towards. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I<sup>asws</sup> have become such that I<sup>asws</sup> do not possess good for myself<sup>asws</sup> what I<sup>asws</sup> hope for, nor repelling evil what I<sup>asws</sup> am cautious over, and the affairs have come to be in Your<sup>azwj</sup> Hands. Thus, there is no poor one poorer than I<sup>asws</sup> am. <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:28#h24"><a href="/books/quran:28#h24">[28:24]</a></a> Surely I stand in need of whatever good You may Send down upon me</span>. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I<sup>asws</sup> intend to be Returned from You<sup>azwj</sup> with goodness, for there is none who can repel Your<sup>azwj</sup> Grace. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I<sup>asws</sup> seek Refuge from my<sup>asws</sup> name being changed, or my<sup>asws</sup> body being altered, or Your<sup>azwj</sup> Bounties to decline from me<sup>asws</sup>. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Be Generous on me<sup>asws</sup> with the piety, and Load upon me<sup>asws</sup> with the Bounties, and Immerse me<sup>asws</sup> in the good health, and Grace me<sup>asws</sup> the thankfulness for the good health’’.
