Ziyara Amin Allah: Difference between revisions

'''Zīyāra Amīn Allāh''' ({{iarabic|زيارة أمين الله}}) is a [[ziyara-text]] recited by [[Imam al-Sajjad (a)]] when visiting the holy shrine of [[Imam Ali (a)]]. This ziyara-text is regarded credible in terms of the text, content, and chain of transmission; and has been reported in authentic [[Shia]] sources. Ziyara Amin Allah is the special ziyara-text for Imam Ali (a) to be recited on the [[Eid al-Ghadir]] and also one of the general ziyara-texts that can be recited near the shrine of any of the [[Imams]].

This ziyarah text has been reported through different chains of transmission. Nearly all of them share the same content while there are slight differences in some phrases. The famous account that has been reported in ''[[Mafatih al-jinan]]'', is from [[Jabir b. Yazid al-Ju'fi]] from [[Imam al-Baqir (a)]] who says: "[[Imam al-Sajjad (a)]] went to ziyarah of [[Imam 'Ali (a)]], stood by his tomb, recited these words while he was crying."<ref>Qummī, ''Mafātīḥ al-jinān'', Under the Zīyāra Amīn Allāh.</ref> According to the report, Imam al-Sajjad (a) recited this ziyarah in two positions near the [[Shrine of Imam 'Ali (a)|tomb of Imam Ali (a)]]:

Imam al-Baqir (a) says about the significance of this ziyarah: "whoever among the Shia recites this ziyarah text near the tomb of [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] or near the tomb of any of the Imams, Allah, Exalted is He, takes this ziyarah and supplication to heaven in an envelope of light and signs it with the seal of [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]] and it will be preserved till the time it is given to [[al-Qa'im]] from the progeny of Muhammad (a), and then he welcomes its owner with glad tidings, greetings and honor."<ref>Qummī, ''Mafātīḥ al-jinān'', Under the Zīyāra Amīn Allāh.</ref>

This ziyarah is both a special ziyarah of Imam 'Ali (a) on the Eid al-Ghadir and one of the general ziyarahs that can be recited near the shrines of all Imams.<ref>Qummī, ''Mafātīḥ al-jinān'', Under the Zīyāra Amīn Allāh.</ref>

In ''[[Mafatih al-jinan]]'', [[Shaykh 'Abbas Qummi]] lists this ziyarah as the second ziyarah text of Imam Ali (a) and says: the second ziyarah, famously known as the ziyarah Amin Allah, is of the utmost authenticity and has been narrated in all ziyarah and supplication sources. Al-'Allama al-Majlisi has stated that it is the best ziyarah, and it is highly credible in terms of the text and chain of transmission, it must be recited in all holy shrines.<ref>Qummī, ''Mafātīḥ al-jinān'', Under the Zīyāra Amīn Allāh.</ref>

In ''[[Bihar al-anwar]]'', [[al-Majlisi]] writes: we have narrated this ziyarah and repeated it for some reasons, 1- in terms of the differences of the text 2- and also, in terms of the chain of transmission, this ziyarah is one of the most authentic ones. 3- In terms of the wide range of places and situations in which this ziyarah can be recited, it is the most comprehensive one, and can be recited in all holy shrines.

# A remarkable portion of the ziyarah has been dedicated to making requests from God, supplications for human happiness and perfection.

# There are some educative teachings in this ziyarah.<ref>Rasūlī Maḥallātī, ''Zīyārat Amīn Allāh'', p. 15.</ref>
