Ziarat Of Lady Fatimah Al-Zahra (As)

While standing in the area between the Holy Prophet’s tomb and minbar (i.e. Garden of Paradise – Rawzah), you may visit the tomb of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (A).
There is disagreement about the place of the tomb of Lady Fatimah (A); some say that she was buried in the Rawzah. Others say that she was buried at her house. Others say that she was buried in the Baqi` Cemetery.
However, the majority of our scholars agree that she must be visited from the Rawzah, although to visit her at these three places is more preferable.
When you stand for the ziarat of Lady Fatimah Al-Zahra’s (A) tomb, you may say the following:

يَا مُمْتَحَنَةُ امْتَحَنَكِ اللّٰهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَكِ فَوَجَدَكِ لِمَا امْتَحَنَكِ صابِرَةً ، وَزَعَمْنا أَنَّا لَكِ أَوْلِياءٌ وَ مُصَدِّقُونَ وَصابِرُونَ لِكُلِّ مَا أَتَانَا بِهِ أَبُوكِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ ، وَأَتىٰ [أَتَانَا] بِهِ وَصِيُّهُ ، فَإِنّا نَسْأَلُكِ إِنْ كُنَّا صَدَّقْناكِ إِلّا أَلْحَقْتِنَا بِتَصْدِيقِنَا لَهُما لِنُبَشِّرَ أَنْفُسَنا بِأَنَّا قَدْ طَهُرْنا بِوِلايَتِكِ. 

 O carefully examined (lady): Allah Who created you had tried you before He created you (for this worldly life), and thus He found you successfully enduring in that trial. We claim being loyalists to you, believers in you, and tolerant as regards all that which has been conveyed to us by your father, peace of Allah be upon him and his Household, and all that which his Successor has brought to us. We, thus, ask you, if we have really believed you, that you may include us with those who believe in both of them (i.e. the Holy Prophet and Imam Ali), so that we may feel happy that we have been purified on account of our loyalty to you.  

It is recommended to add the following: 

السَّلامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ ، السَّلامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ نَبِيِّ اللّٰهِ ، السَّلامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ حَبِيبِ اللّٰهِ ، السَّلامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ خَلِيلِ اللّٰهِ ، السَّلامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ صَفِيِّ اللّٰهِ ، السَّلامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ أَمِينِ اللّٰهِ ، السَّلامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ خَيْرِ خَلْقِ اللّٰهِ ، السَّلامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ أَفْضَلِ أَنْبِياءِ اللّٰهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَمَلائِكَتِهِ ، السَّلامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ خَيْرِ الْبَرِيَّةِ ، السَّلامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا سَيِّدَةَ نِساءِ الْعالَمِينَ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ ، السَّلامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا زَوْجَةَ وَلِيِّ اللّٰهِ وَخَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ.

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكِ مَضَيْتِ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكِ ، وَأَنَّ مَنْ سَرَّكِ فَقَدْ سَرَّ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ ، وَمَنْ جَفَاكِ فَقَدْ جَفَا رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ ، وَمَنْ آذاكِ فَقَدْ آذىٰ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ ، وَمَنْ وَصَلَكِ فَقَدْ وَصَلَ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَمَنْ قَطَعَكِ فَقَدْ قَطَعَ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ لِأَنَّكِ بِضْعَةٌ مِنْهُ وَرُوحُهُ الَّذِي بَيْنَ جَنْبَيْهِ ، أُشْهِدُ اللّٰهَ وَرُسُلَهُ وَمَلائِكَتَهُ أَنِّي راضٍ عَمَّنْ رَضِيتِ عَنْهُ ، ساخِطٌ عَلَىٰ مَنْ سَخِطْتِ عَلَيْهِ ، مَتَبَرِّئٌ مِمَّنْ تَبَرَّأْتِ مِنْهُ ، مُوَالٍ لِمَنْ وَالَيْتِ ، مُعادٍ لِمَنْ عادَيْتِ ، مُبْغِضٌ لِمَنْ أَبْغَضْتِ ، مُحِبٌّ لِمَنْ أَحْبَبْتِ ، وَكَفَىٰ بِاللّٰهِ شَهِيداً وَحَسِيباً وَجازِياً وَمُثِيباً. 

I bear witness that you have spent your life with full awareness of your duty towards your Lord and (I bear witness) that he who pleases you will have pleased the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household, and he who displeases you will have displeased the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household, and he who harms you will have harmed the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household, and he who respects you will have respected the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household, and he who disrespects you will have disrespected the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household. This is because you are an inseparable part of him (i.e. the Holy Prophet), and you are his soul with which he lives. I ask Allah, His Messengers, and His angels to be the witnesses that I am verily pleased with him whomever you accept, I am displeased with him whomever you detest, I disavow him whomever you disavow, I am loyal to him whomever you support, I am the enemy of him whomever you betake as enemy, I am hateful to him whomever you hate, and I like him whomever you like. Verily, Allah is Sufficient as Witness, Reckoner, Punisher, and Rewarder. 

You may then invoke almighty Allah's blessing upon the holy prophet and imams.
