+Besides giving certain instructions for the ziyarah, also some texts are taught in Shi'a traditon and hadithes to be recited during the ziyarah of Imam's tombs. Ziyarah texts received from the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] mostly have content rich with authentic Islamic beliefs and teachings. Some of such Ziayarah texts have found more importance and fame due to their special content or reference; such as [[Ziyarh 'Ashura]], [[Ziyara Jami’a Kabira|Ziyarah al-Jami'a al-kabira]], [[Ziyarah Amin Allah]], [[Ziyarah Warith]], [[Ziyarah Al Yasin]] and [[Ziyarah Jami'a A'immat al-Mu'minin]].
 The importance of ziyarah and great range of its manners has made the discussion of Ziyarat text (Farsi:{{ia| زیارت نامه}}, Ziyrat nameh) or Mazar (Arabic:{{ia| مزار}}, lit.: visiting) as an important religious issue, to be the subject for many works.<ref>See: Āqā Buzurg, ''al-Dharīʿa'', vol. 12, p. 77-80.</ref> [[Ibn Qulawayh al-Qummi]]'s ''[[Kamil al-Ziyarat]]'' is among the most authentic such references. Other such works are [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]]'s ''[[al-Mazar]]'', [[al-Shaykh al-Tusi]]'s ''[[Misbah al-mutahajjid]]'', [[Sayyid b. Tawus]]'s ''[[Muhaj al-da'awat]]'', [[Shaykh Baha'i]]'s ''[[al-Mazar al-kabir]]'', [[al-Allama al-Majlisi]]'s ''[[Tuhfat al-za'ir]]'' and [[Shaykh 'Abbas Qummi]]'s ''[[Mafatih al-jinan]]''.
-Ziyarah texts received from the [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]] mostly have content rich with authentic Islamic beliefs and teachings. Some of such Ziayarah texts have found more importance and fame due to their special content or reference; such as [[Ziyarh 'Ashura]], [[Ziyara Jami’a Kabira|Ziyarah al-Jami'a al-kabira]], [[Ziyarah Amin Allah]], [[Ziyarah Warith]], [[Ziyarah Al Yasin]] and [[Ziyarah Jami'a A'immat al-Mu'minin]].
-=== Content ===
-Ziyarah texts received from [[Imams (a)]] are two types; some are special to one Imam (a) and some are common and they can be recited upon visiting every Imam (a). Some issues can be found common in all or most of ziyarah texts:
-* Teaching divine and religious teachings: In ziyarah texts, [[God]] and [[Divine Attributes|His attributes]] are correctly introduced; also the [[Wilaya]] of [[the Prophet (s)]] and Imams (a) are explained and this is a kind of teaching correct beliefs and teachings to Shi'a.
-* There are points teaching the visitor what to say, what to ask and how.
-* Saying that, "I have sought refuge before you from the burden of my sins"
-* Wishing the company of Imam (a)
-* Making [[Du'a]] to benefit from [[intercession]] of Imam (a)
-* Explaining virtues and vices: In ziyarah texts, the principles of correct decision-making are mentioned as virtue (in describing Imams (a)) and vices (in describing the enemies of Imams (a)) so that the right path is known from the wrong path. Some of such values are mentioned below:
-:* Establishing [[prayer]]; "I attest that you have established prayer"
-:* [[Zakat]]; "I attest that you have given Zakat"
-:* [[Enjoining to the good and forbidding the evil]]; "I attest that you have enjoined to the good and have forbidden the evil"
-:* Making [[Jihad]] on the way of God; "I attest that you have made Jihad"
-:* Following the conduct of the Prophet (s); "you have followed the conducts of your prophet"
-:* Inviting to God; "Peace be with the inviters to God"
-:Some vices mentioned in the ziyarah 'Ashura are:
-:* Oppressing the Ahl al-Bayt (a); helping those who oppressed the Ahl al-Bayt (a) and even being satisfied with making oppression towards the Ahl al-Bayt (a)
-:* Accompanying and associating with the enemies of the Ahl al-Bayt (a)
