Text:Ziyara of Lady Fatima al-Ma'suma (s)

Allama al-Majlisi narrates in Bihar al-Anwar: I saw in some books of Ziyara that Ali b. Ibrahim, from his father, who from Sa'd, who from Imam al-Rida (a), narrated the following:

• “O Sa'd! There is a grave of one of us among you.”
• I said, “May I be your ransom! Do you mean the grave of Fatima, daughter of Imam al-Kazim (a)?”
• He replied, “Yes. Whoever visits her while being aware of her rightful status, Paradise will be theirs.”
• Then he said, “When you reach her grave, stand at her head, facing the qibla, and: Say Allahu Akbar 34 times, Say Subhan Allah 33 times, Say Alhamdulillah 33 times. Then recite this Ziyara:”
