Text:Ziyarah Text of Imam Muhammad b. 'Ali al-Jawad (a)

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.	بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ الرَّ‌حِيمِ
Peace be upon you, O Abu Ja'far Muhammad the son of Ali, the righteous, pious, and faithful leader. Peace be upon you, O pleased and pure. Peace be upon you, O Allah’s intimate servant. Peace be upon you, O confidentially talked by Allah. Peace be upon you, O Allah’s emissary. Peace be upon you, O Allah’s secret. Peace be upon you, O Allah’s brightness. Peace be upon you, O Allah’s brilliance. Peace be upon you, O Allah’s Word. Peace be upon you, O Allah’s mercy.	السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ الْبَرَّ التَّقِيَّ الْإِمَامَ الْوَفِيَّ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّضِيُّ الزَّكِيُ‏ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا نَجِيَّ اللَّهِ‏ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا سَفِيرَ اللَّهِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا سِرَّ اللَّهِ (سِتْرَ اللَّهِ) السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ضِيَاءَ اللَّهِ‏ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا سَنَاءَ اللَّهِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا كَلِمَةَ اللَّهِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ‏
Peace be upon you, O shining light. Peace be upon you, O rising full moon. Peace be upon you, O pure who is the descendant of the pure ones. Peace be upon you, O immaculate who is the descendant of the the immaculate ones. Peace be upon you, O greatest sign. Peace be upon you, O grandest argument. Peace be upon you, O purified from slips. Peace be upon you, O deemed above unforgivable failings. Peace be upon you, O raised high against imperfect traits.	السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النُّورُ السَّاطِعُ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْبَدْرُ الطَّالِعُ‏ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الطَّيِّبُ مِنَ الطَّيِّبِينَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الطَّاهِرُ مِنَ الْمُطَهَّرِينَ‏ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْآيَةُ الْعُظْمَى السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْحُجَّةُ الْكُبْرَى‏ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْمُطَهَّرُ مِنَ الزَّلاَّتِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْمُنَزَّهُ عَنِ الْمُعْضِلاَتِ (الْمُعْظِلاَتِ) السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الْعَلِيُّ عَنْ نَقْصِ الْأَوْصَافِ‏
Peace be upon you, O pleased in the sight of the honorable ones. Peace be upon you, O pillar of the religion. I bear witness that you are the intimate servant of Allah, the argument of Him in His lands, the side of Allah, the best in the view of Allah, the store of the knowledge of Allah and the knowledge of the Prophets, the cornerstone of faith, and the interpreter of the Qur'an. I also bear witness that whoever follows you has been on the right and true guidance but whoever denies you and incurs your animosity has been on deviation and perdition. I repudiate these in the presence of Allah and you in this world and in the Hereafter. Peace be upon you as long as I am existent and as long as there are day and night.	السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّضِيُّ عِنْدَ الْأَشْرَافِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا عَمُودَ الدِّينِ‏ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ وَ حُجَّتُهُ فِي أَرْضِهِ وَ أَنَّكَ جَنْبُ اللَّهِ وَ خِيَرَةُ اللَّهِ‏ وَ مُسْتَوْدَعُ عِلْمِ اللَّهِ وَ عِلْمِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ رُكْنُ الْإِيمَانِ وَ تَرْجُمَانُ الْقُرْآنِ‏ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَ الْهُدَى وَ أَنَّ مَنْ أَنْكَرَكَ وَ نَصَبَ لَكَ الْعَدَاوَةَ عَلَى الضَّلاَلَةِ وَ الرَّدَى‏ أَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ مَا بَقِيتُ وَ بَقِيَ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ

O Allah, (please) send blessings upon Muhammad and his Household, send blessings upon Muhammad the son of Ali the pure, the pious, the righteous, the faithful, the refined, the bright, the guide of the nation, the inheritor of the Imams, the treasurer of mercy, the spring of wisdom, the leader of blessing, the match of the Qur'an in obedience, the distinctive among the Successors in sincerity and worship, Your premier argument, Your highest example, Your most excellent Word, the caller to You, and the director towards You, whom You have appointed as signpost for Your servants, interpreter of Your Book, expounder of Your commands, supporter of Your religion, argument against Your creatures, radiance through whom darkness is penetrated, excellent example through whom true guidance is hit, and intercessor through whom Paradise is won.	اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الزَّكِيِّ التَّقِيِ‏ وَ الْبَرِّ الْوَفِيِّ وَ الْمُهَذَّبِ النَّقِيِّ هَادِي الْأُمَّةِ وَ وَارِثِ الْأَئِمَّةِ وَ خَازِنِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ يَنْبُوعِ الْحِكْمَةِ وَ قَائِدِ الْبَرَكَةِ وَ عَدِيلِ الْقُرْآنِ فِي الطَّاعَةِ وَ وَاحِدِ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ فِي الْإِخْلاَصِ وَ الْعِبَادَةِ وَ حُجَّتِكَ الْعُلْيَا وَ مَثَلِكَ الْأَعْلَى وَ كَلِمَتِكَ الْحُسْنَى الدَّاعِي إِلَيْكَ وَ الدَّالِّ عَلَيْكَ‏ الَّذِي نَصَبْتَهُ عَلَماً لِعِبَادِكَ وَ مُتَرْجِماً لِكِتَابِكَ وَ صَادِعاً بِأَمْرِكَ وَ نَاصِراً لِدِينِكَ‏ وَ حُجَّةً عَلَى خَلْقِكَ وَ نُوراً تَخْرُقُ بِهِ الظُّلَمَ وَ قُدْوَةً تُدْرَكُ بِهَا الْهِدَايَةُ وَ شَفِيعاً تُنَالُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةُ
O Allah, just as he took his share of reverence for You and received completely his portion of fear of You, so (please) bless him with many folds of blessings that You have ever poured down on an intimate servant of You whose obedience to You has been approved of by You and whose servitude has been admitted by You. Convey to him greetings and salutations from us, and give us - from You on account of our loyalty to him - favors, kindness, forgiveness, and pleasure. You are verily the Lord of eternal favoring and nice pardoning.	اللَّهُمَّ وَ كَمَا أَخَذَ فِي خُشُوعِهِ لَكَ حَظَّهُ وَ اسْتَوْفَى مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ نَصِيبَهُ‏ فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ أَضْعَافَ مَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى وَلِيًّ ارْتَضَيْتَ طَاعَتَهُ وَ قَبِلْتَ خِدْمَتَهُ‏ وَ بَلِّغْهُ مِنَّا تَحِيَّةً وَ سَلاَماً وَ آتِنَا فِي مُوَالاَتِهِ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ فَضْلاً وَ إِحْسَاناً وَ مَغْفِرَةً وَ رِضْوَاناً إِنَّكَ ذُو الْمَنِّ الْقَدِيمِ وَ الصَّفْحِ الْجَمِيلِ‏
You may then offer the two-unit prayer of ziyarah.
