السَّلامُ عَلَيكُما يا وَلِيَّي اللهِ السَّلامُ عَلَيكُما يا حُجَّتَي اللهِ السَّلامُ عَلَيكُما يا نُورَي اللهِ في ظُلُماتِ الأرضِ، أشهَدُ أنَّكُما قَد بَلَّغتُما عَنِ اللهِ ما حَمَّلَكُما وَحَفِظتُما ما استُودِعتُما وَحَلَّلتُما حَلالَ اللهِ وَحَرَّمتُما حَرامَ اللهِ وَأقَمتُما حُدُودَ اللهِ وَتَلَوتُما كِتابَ اللهِ وَصَبَرتُما عَلى الأذى في جَنبِ اللهِ مُحتَسِبينَ حَتّى أتاكما اليَقِينُ، أبرَأُ إلى اللهِ مِن أعدائِكُما وَأتَقَرَّبُ إلى اللهِ بِوِلايَتِكُما، أتَيتُكُما زائِراً عارِفاً بِحَقِّكُما مُوالياً لأوليائِكُما مُعادياً لأعدائِكُما مُستَبصِراً بِالهُدى الَّذي أنتُما عَلَيهِ عارِفاً بِضَلالَةِ مَن خالَفَكُما، فَاشفَعا لي عِندَ رَبِّكُما فَإنَّ لَكُما عِندَ اللهِ جاهاً عَظِيماً وَمَقاماً مَحمُوداً.
اَلسَّلامُ عَلَيْكُما يا حُجَّتَيِ اللهِ في اَرْضِهِ وَسَمائِهِ، عَبْدُكُما وَوَلِيُّكُما زائِرُكُما مُتَقَرِّباً اِلَى اللهِ بِزِيارَتِكُما، اَللّـهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لي لِسانَ صِدْق في اَوْلِيائِكَ الْمُصْطَفَيْنَ، وَحَبِّبْ اِلَيَّ مَشاهِدَهُمْ وَاجْعَلْني مَعَهُمْ في الدُّنْيا وَالاْخِرَةِ يا اَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمينَ
