Ash-hadu an-Laa Ilaaha Wah'dahoo Laa Shareeka Lahoo wa Ash-hadu Anna Muh'ammadan 'Abduhoo Wa-Rasooluhoo wa Anna 'Allyyan Waliyyu'l-Laah.
"In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful. In the name of God and by God and to the nation of God's Prophet: God's blessings be upon him and his Household (MGB). I bear witness that there is no god but God. He is One and He has no partners. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His Servant and His Messenger. And I bear witness that Ali is God's friend."
Then walk until you stop at his tomb. Then face him by turning your back towards the Qibla (prayer direction) and say: Ash-hadu An Laa Ilaaha Illal-Laahu Wah'dahoo Laa Shareeka Lahoo wa-Ash-hadu Anna Muh'ammadan 'Abduhoo wa Rasooluhoo wa-Annahoo Sayyidu'l-Awwaleena wal-Aakhireena.wa-Annahoo Sayyidul-Anbiyaa 'I wa'l-Mursaleen.
I bear witness that there is no god but God, the One; and there are no partners for Him. I bear witness that Muhammad is His Servant and His Messenger. Verily, he is the Master of all those of old and those of later times. Verily, he is the Master of the Prophets and the Messengers.
O God! God's Blessings be upon Muhammad-Thy Servant; Thy Messenger, Thy Prophet and the Master of all Thy creatures-blessings that no one but Thee can measure.

Then you sit near the position of his head and say:
As-Salaamu 'Alayka Yaa Waliyyal-Laahi, As-Salaamu 'Alayka Yaa H'uliatal-Laahi, As-Salaamu 'Alayka Yaa Nooral-Laahi Fee Z'ulumaatil-Ard'i, As-Salaamu 'Alayka Yaa 'Amoodad Deen.O the friend of God! Peace be upon you! O the proof of God! Peace be upon you! O the light of God in the darkness of the Earth! Peace be upon you! O the pillar of the religion!
As-Salaamu 'Alayka Yaa Waaritha Aadama S'afwatil-Laahi, As-Salaamu 'Alayka Yaa Waaritha Nooh'in Nabiyyil-Laahi, As Salaamu 'Alayka Yaa Waaritha Ibraaheema Khaleelil-Laahi, As-Salaamu 'Alayka Yaa Waaritha Ismaa'eela Dhabeeh'il-Laah, Peace be upon you! O the inheritor of Adam - chosen by God! Peace be upon you! O the inheritor of Noah - the Prophet of God! Peace be upon you! O the inheritor of Abraham - the friend of God! Peace be upon you! O the inheritor of Ishmael - the offering to God! As-Salaamu 'Alayka Yaa Waaritha Moosaa Kaleemil-Laahi, As Salaamu 'Alayka Yaa Waaritha Eesaa Rooh'il-Laahi, As Salaamu 'Alayka Yaa Waaritha Muh'ammadin Rasoolil-Laah.I bear witness that it was indeed you who established prayers, paid the alms-tax, commanded to do right, admonished against doing wrong and sincerely served God until what is sure to come happened to you. O Abal Hassan (Imam Reza (MGB))! Peace be upon you! And the grace of God and His blessings be upon you, For He is indeed worthy of all praise, full of all glory!
May God's curse be upon the people who murdered you! May God's curse be upon the people who oppressed you! May God's curse be upon the people who established the foundations of oppression, tyranny and innovation against you-members of the Household (of the Prophet) (MGB)!"
Then you touch the tomb and say: Allaahumma Ilayka S'amadtu Min Ard'ee Wa-Qat'a'tul-Bilaada Rajaa'a Rah'matika Falaa Tukhayyibnee wa-Laa Taruddanee Bi-Ghayri Qad'aa'i H'aajatee Warh'am Taqallubee 'Alaa Qabrib-Ni Akhee Rasoolika S'alawaatuka 'Alayhi wa-Aalih."O God! I set out towards Thee from my homeland, and passed through many towns with the hope of receiving Thy mercy. Please do not disappoint me, and do not send me back without having my needs fulfilled. Have mercy upon my turning towards the tomb of the son of Thy Messenger's brother. May Thy blessings be upon him and his Household (MGB).
O my Master! May my parents be your ransom! I have come to visit you and I have arrived. I seek refuge in you from whatever crimes I have committed against myself - the burden of which I carry on my back. Then (please) intercede with God on my behalf on the Day of my poverty and destitution as you enjoy an especial praiseworthy position in the presence of God. He considers you to be an eminent man.
Then you raise your right hand up and extend your left hand towards the tomb and say:
Allaahumma Innee Ataqarrabu Ilayka Bi-H'ubbihim wa Biwilaayatihim, Atawallaa Aakhirahum Bimaa Tawallaytu Bihee Awwalahum wa-Abra'u Min Kulli Waleejatin Doonahum.O God! I seek Thy nearness through my love and friendship for them.1 I love the last one of them as much as I love the first one, and avoid any intimate friendship with anyone but them.2

Allaahumma Innee Ataqarrabu Ilayka bil-La'nati 'Alayhim wal Baraasati Minhum Fid-Dunyaa wal-Aakhirati Yaa Rah'maan.
My God! (Please) curse those who altered Thy blessings, accused Thy Prophet, denied Thy verses, mocked Thy appointed leader, 1 and placed the burden of the people upon the shoulders of the members of the Household of Muhammad (MGB). O God! I seek Thy nearness by cursing them (your enemies), and by staying away from them in this world and in the Hereafter, O the Beneficent!
Then you turn towards the position of his feet and say: S'allal-Laahu 'Alayka Yaa Abal-H'asani, S'allal-Laahu 'Alaa Rooh'ika wa-Badanika, S'abarta wa-Antas'-S'aadiqul Mus'addaqu Qatalal-Laahu Man Qatalaka bil-Aydee wal-Alsun.O Abal Hassan! May God's blessings be upon you! May God's blessings be upon your spirit and your body! You persevered. You were truthful and your truthfulness has been confirmed. May God curse whoever martyred you with his hands and tongue.2

2 Who orderd that you be martyreda and who carried out this order
O Master! O the son of my Master! Peace be upon you! And may the grace of God and His blessings be upon you. You are the armour against the Punishment for us. And now it is time for me to leave you if you permit me. I am neither willing to depart from you, nor to choose anyone else and substitute him for you. And I do not abstain from being near you.
Waqad Jirtu Bi-Nafsee Lil-H'adathaani wa-Taraktul-Ahla wal Awlaada wal-Awt'aana Fakun Lee Shaafi 'an Yawma H'aajatee wa-Faqree wa-Faaqatee, Yawma Laa Yughnee 'Annee
Indeed I made an effort for what came to pass. Indeed I left my family, children and hometown. Then intercede on my behalf on the Day of my need, poverty and destitution: The Day when neither my friends nor strangers can avail me anything at all. The Day when neither my father nor my mother can avail me anything at all.
As'alul-Laahal-Ladhee Qaddara 'Alayya Rah'eelee Ilayka An Yunaffisa Bika Kurbatee, wa- As'alul-Laahal-Ladhee Qaddara 'Alayya Firaaqa Makaanika Anlaa Yaj'alahoo Aakhiral-(Ahdi Min Ziyaaratee Laka wa-Rujoo'ee Ilayka.
I ask God, who destined it for me to make pilgrimage to you, to remove my sorrow by you. And I ask God who destined it for me to depart from your place not to let this be the last time I make pilgrimage to your tomb and visit your shrine, and I ask God to return me to you.
Wa- As'alul-Laahal-Ladhee Araanee Makaanaka wa-Hadaanee Lit-Tasleemi 'Alayka wa-Ziyaaratee Iyyaaka An Yooridanee H'awd'akum wa-Yarzuqanee Min Muraafaqatikum fil-Jinaan.
I ask God to make me cry over you so that He may establish it as a means for me and as a savings. And I ask God to show me your place, and to guide me towards submission to you,
As-Salaamu 'Alayka Yaa S'afwatal-Laahi, As-Salaamu 'Alaa Ameeril-Mu'mineena wa-Wasjyyi Rasooli Rabbil-(Aalameena wa-Qaa'idil-Ghurril-Muh'ajjaleena, As-Salaamu 'Alal-H'asani wal-H'usayni Sayyiday Shabaabi Ahlil-Jannati, As-Salaamu O the one chosen by God! Peace be upon you. Peace be upon the Commander of the Faithful, and the Testamentary Trustee of the Messenger of the Lord of the two worlds, and the leader of the lustrous ones.(I) Peace be upon al-Hassan and al-Hussein - the Masters of Youth in Heaven. Peace be upon the Immaculate Imams...
And you call them by name one by one ...Wa-Rah'matul-Laahi Wa-Barakaatuh. As-Salaamu 'Alaa God's Prophet (MGB) said that God the Exalted the High revealed to him on the night of his ascension three things about Ali: that he is the Master of the believers, the Leader of the pious ones, and the Leader of those with white-foreheads or "Qa'ed al-Ghurr-HMuhajjelin" - those who are proud of their deeds. Some have interpreted this to refer to those whose hands, feet and foreheads are white due to prolonged prostrations.
