{{main|Ziyara Texts}}

Besides giving certain instructions for the ziyara, also some texts are taught in Shi'a traditon and hadithes to be recited during the ziyara of Imam's tombs. Ziyara 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|Ziyara al-Jami'a al-kabira]], [[Ziyara Amin Allah]], [[Ziyara Warith]], [[Ziyara Al Yasin]] and [[Ziyara Jami'a A'immat al-Mu'minin]].

The importance of ziyara and great range of its manners has made the discussion of Ziyara text 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]]'', [[Ibn al-Mashhadi]]'s ''[[al-Mazar al-kabir]]'', [[al-Allama al-Majlisi]]'s ''[[Tuhfat al-za'ir]]'' and [[Shaykh 'Abbas Qummi]]'s ''[[Mafatih al-jinan]]''.
