Reciting this ziarat is a part of rituals [[Jaʿfar al-Sadiq|Imam al-Sadiq]] taught Safwan al-Jammal for pilgrimage of Imam al-Hussain. According to some sources, it is recommended to recite this text during Eid al-Adha, and the day and night of Arafa. However, according to narrations it may be practiced any time with the intention of pilgrimage of Imam al-Hussain. | ||

Similarly, the supplication on the first of Rajab conveys this expression of loyalty to the one who stood up in Karbala on the day of [[Ashura]] inviting mankind to God, to strive against the forces that were rebellious towards Him and break their arrogance and direct them to serve God alone. It reads: “At your service, O inviter towards God! If my body did not respond to you when you sought help [on the day of Ashura] or my tongue when you called for support, surely my heart responds to you”. | Similarly, the supplication on the first of Rajab conveys this expression of loyalty to the one who stood up in Karbala on the day of [[Ashura]] inviting mankind to God, to strive against the forces that were rebellious towards Him and break their arrogance and direct them to serve God alone.

It is obvious from this text that the three accursed groups are: the group which fought Hussain, the group which helped and supported the first, the group which forsook Hussain and neither answered his call nor helped him. Indeed, the battle of Al-Taff was a real one that had ideological, political and cultural dimensions and as such, it required real stances in terms of loyalty and repudiation, both before and now. It does not accept a position of reluctance and indifference today just as it rejected that in the past; it deems such an attitude to be no better than the hostile stand. | It is obvious from this text that the three accursed groups are: the group which fought Hussain, the group which helped and supported the first, the group which forsook Hussain and neither answered his call nor helped him.
