The main source of the ziyarah is [[Sayyid b. Tawus]]’s book, ''[[Iqbal al-a'mal]]''. He has cited the ziyarah without mentioning any chains of transmitters. In his book, ''[[Bihar al-anwar]]'', [['Allama Majlisi]] mentions books of [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]] and Sayyid b. Tawus as sources of the ziyarah, but he does not mention the title of al-Shaykh al-Mufid’s book. Some people speculate that Sayyid b. Tawus might have written this ziyarah on his own.

Some people in this part are not among the Martyrs of Karbala, such as [['Uqba b. Sam'an]]. In the present version of the ziyarah, [[Hurr b. Yazid al-Riyahi]] is mentioned twice. But in ''Bihar al-anwar''’s version, in one of these two cases Jurayr b. Ziyad al-Riyahi is mentioned instead.

There are some common as well as different names in the less-known [[Ziyara al-Nahiya al-Muqaddasa]] (or “Ziyara al-Shuhada”) which also contains the names of the Martyrs of Karbala (63 names). In his book, ''Ansar al-Husayn'', Muhammad Mahdi Shams al-Din takes Ziyara al-Nahiya to be more reliable than al-Ziyara al-Rajabiyya, criticizing the additional names of Imam al-Husayn’s (a) companions in the latter.
