The cause of love is cheerfulness.
Imam Ali (a)
Ghurar al-Hikam
There is not enough space in this book to mention a part of the story of Imam al-Husayn’s martyrdom; therefore, the complete event can be read in the books specified for this respect. These books are called al-Maqtal.
Ibn ‘Abbas is reported to have said, “When I accompanied Imam Ali(عليه السلام) in Dhi-Qar, he took out a paper comprising the dictations of the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) and handwritten by Imam Ali(عليه السلام) himself. He read some segments of that paper and I heard. It contained the story of Imam al-Husayn’s martyrdom with full details of the way he would be killed, the person who would kill him, those who would support him, and those who would be martyred with him. Imam Ali(عليه السلام) then wept heavily and caused me to weep.”

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الَّذِي لا اَرْجُو اِلاّ فَضْلَهُ وَ لا اَخْشَى اِلاّ عَدْلَهُ وَ لا اَعْتَمِدُ اِلاّ قَوْلَهُ وَ لا اُمْسِكُ اِلاّ بِحَبْلِهِ بِكَ اَسْتَجِيرُ يَا ذَا الْعَفْوِ وَ الرِّضْوَانِ مِنَ الظُّلْمِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ وَ مِنْ غِيَرِ الزَّمَانِ وَ تَوَاتُرِ الْاَحْزَانِ وَ طَوَارِقِ الْحَدَثَانِ وَ مِنِ انْقِضَاءِ الْمُدَّةِ قَبْلَ التَّاَهُّبِ وَ الْعُدَّةِ وَ اِيَّاكَ اَسْتَرْشِدُ لِمَا فِيهِ الصَّلاحُ وَ الْاِصْلاحُ وَ بِكَ اَسْتَعِينُ فِيمَا يَقْتَرِنُ بِهِ النَّجَاحُ وَ الْاِنْجَاحُ وَ اِيَّاكَ اَرْغَبُ فِي لِبَاسِ الْعَافِيَةِ وَ تَمَامِهَا وَ شُمُولِ السَّلامَةِ وَ دَوَامِهَا وَ اَعُوذُ بِكَ يَا رَبِّ مِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَ اَحْتَرِزُ بِسُلْطَانِكَ مِنْ جَوْرِ السَّلاطِينِ، فَتَقَبَّلْ مَا كَانَ مِنْ صَلاتِي وَ صَوْمِي وَ اجْعَلْ غَدِي وَ مَا بَعْدَهُ اَفْضَلَ مِنْ سَاعَتِي وَ يَوْمِي وَ اَعِزَّنِي فِي عَشِيرَتِي وَ قَوْمِي وَ احْفَظْنِي فِي يَقَظَتِي وَ نَوْمِي فَاَنْتَ اللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حَافِظاً وَ اَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ اَللَّهُمَّ اِنِّي اَبْرَاُ اِلَيْكَ فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا وَ مَا بَعْدَهُ مِنَ الْآحَادِ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ وَ الْاِلْحَادِ وَ اُخْلِصُ لَكَ دُعَائِي تَعَرُّضاً لِلْاِجَابَةِ وَ اُقِيمُ عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ رَجَاءً لِلْاِثَابَةِ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ خَيْرِ خَلْقِكَ الدَّاعِي اِلَى حَقِّكَ وَ اَعِزَّنِي بِعِزِّكَ الَّذِي لا يُضَامُ وَ احْفَظْنِي بِعَيْنِكَ الَّتِي لا تَنَامُ وَ اخْتِمْ بِالاِنْقِطَاعِ اِلَيْكَ اَمْرِي وَ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ عُمْرِي اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ.Ziyarah according to another narration:
