'''Ziarat-Ashura''' can be recited at the tomb of [[Hussain ibn Ali|Imam al-Hussain]] and also from far distance. The following is the elaborate report of this form of ziarat, as has been narrated by Shaykh Abu-Ja’far al-Tusi in his book of al-Misbah: "Muhammad ibn Isma’il ibn Buzaygh has reported on the authority of Salih ibn ‘Aqabah on the authority of his father on the authority of Imam [[Muhammad al-Baqir]] who said, “Whoever visits al-Hussain ibn Ali on the tenth of [[Muharram]] (the [[Ashura]] Day) and remains there weeping, will meet Almighty Allah on the day of meeting Him having the reward of two thousand times of going on hajj, two thousand times of going on umra, as well as the reward of one who has participated with the Holy Messenger of Allah and with the Holy Imams in two thousand campaigns.” | '''Ziarat-Ashura''' can be recited at the tomb of [[Hussain ibn Ali|Imam al-Hussain]] and also from far distance.

== Main Themes of Ziarat Ashura == | |||
The crux of Ziarat Ashura revolves around two major issues: | |||
First is the the sending of La’ana and curse on the killers and the dhalimeen, oppressors. Second is the expression of love and allegiance to Imam Hussain and his Ashaab (companions). | |||
It should be noted that La’ana is not using abusive language; rather it is the prayer to Allah that He should cut off His Special Mercy to those people who are transgressors and unjust ones. As the Zaeer sends this La’ana, he should realize that he is expressing hatred and dislike towards the actions of such people and therefore he is also trying to remove traces of similar actions from his own life. | |||
Having recited this La’ana for 100 times and thereby having cleansed his soul from the evil characters the Zaeer then sends his salaams a 100 times upon Imam Hussain and on his Ashaab, thereby expressing ones conformity, obedience, allegiance and love to Imam Hussain, the cause for which he fought and the supreme values embodied in the teachings of Islam. | |||
==Authenticity== | |||
The main sources which has narrated Ziarat Ashura are [[Kamil al-ziarat]] by Ibn Qulawayh al-Qummi (d 369/980) and Misbah al-mutahajjid by [[al-Shaykh al-Tusi]] (d. 460/1067). Misbah al-mutahajjid reposts Ziarat Ashura through this chain of transmission: Muhammad b. Isma'il b. Buzay' from Salih b. 'Aqaba from his father from [[Mohammad al-Baqir|Imam Baqir]]. | |||
The contemporary venerated jurisconsult, Ayatullah Sayyid al-Shubayri al-Zanjani was asked about the authenticity of Ziarat Ashura and he responded saying: | |||
بغض النظر عن التأييدات الغيبية الواردة بطرق معتبرة حول زيارة عاشوراء والتي برأسها دليل على اعتبار هذه الزيارة الشريفة، فإنَّ السند المذكور في مصباح المتهجد في ذيل هذه الزيارة سند صحيح. | |||
Disregarding what has been narrated from reliable sources about its endorsement from the unseen realm (''al-ta’yidat al-ghaybiyya''), which in itself suffices as a proof of the authenticity of this sacred ''Ziarat'', the chain of narration mentioned in ''Misbah al-Mutahajjid'' after this ''Ziarat'' is veracious. | |||
