Ziarat in ArabicEdit
سَلامُ اللهِ الْعَظیمِ وَصَلَواتُهُ عَلَیْکَ یا هانِیَ بْنَ عُرْوَةَ،
اَلسَّلامُ عَلَیْکَ اَیُّهَا الْعَبْدُ الصّالِحُ النّاصِحُ للهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلاَِمیرِ الْمُؤْمِنینَ وَالْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَیْنِ عَلَیْهِمُ السَّلامُ
اَشْهَدُ اَنَّکَ قُتِلْتَ مَظْلُوماً، فَلَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ قَتَلَکَ وَاسْتَحَلَّ دَمَکَ، وَحَشى قُبُورَهُمْ ناراً،
اَشْهَدُ اَنَّکَ لَقِیْتَ اللهَ وَهُوَ راض عَنْکَ بِما فَعَلْتَ وَنَصَحْتَ،
وَاَشْهَدُ اَنَّکَ قَدْ بَلَغْتَ دَرَجَةَ الشُّهَداءِ وَجَعَلَ رُوحَکَ مَعَ اَرْواحِ السُّعَداءِ بِما نَصَحْتَ للهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ مُجْتَهِداً،
وَبَذَلْتَ نَفْسَکَ فی ذاتِ اللهِ وَمَرْضاتِهِ، فَرَحِمَکَ اللهُ وَرَضِیَ عَنْکَ وَحَشَرَکَ مَعَ مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ الطّاهِرینَ،
وَجَمَعَنا وَاِیّاکُمْ مَعَهُمْ فی دارِ النَّعیمِ، وَسَلامٌ عَلَیْکَ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَکاتُهُ
