A scholar writes, ‘I used to be very tense and strained with my domestic problems and difficulties. There seemed no solution for my problems and I did not know what to do. One day I chanced upon a copy of the book, Ziyarat Ashura wa Asare Shaguff (Ziyarat Ashura and its wondrous effects) when I read about the immense, miraculous benefits of this Ziyarat, I decided to resolve my calamities with its recitation.
I began recitation of Ziyarat on the 1st of Safar 1412 A.H. I used to recite Ziyarat with a hundred curses and salam along with the dua Alqamah. On the 34th day, it being Eid al-Zahra, I could not recite this Ziyarat.(Eid al-Zahra is celebrated on 9th Rabiul Awwal and marks the end of the mourning period of the Shias, which commences from 1st Muharram. It is the day when Umar was killed. This day also marks the commencement of Imam Zamana’s Imamat).
A few days later, I saw a dream wherein I observed that, that there was a gathering in my mother’s house. A lot of people had assembled to collect their rewards. But the person, who was to recite the Dua, had not turned up. Someone suggested that I should recite dua. I was amazed at this strange dream. In order to learn about its interpretation. I phoned a very great scholar of Isfahan. I narrated my dream.
He explained, ‘There are three important aspects to your dream. The most important being Ziyarat Ashura, that you abandoned midway. If you resume its recitation all your difficulties will be solved.’ As advised by the scholar, I resumed the recitation. On the day of Arabeen (Forty days, after martyrdom) of Imam Husayn (a.s.) by Asr (late afternoon) all difficulties had been solved. Then after some time, I was again afflicted with some adverse domestic problems. Once again I resorted to Ziyarat Ashura. Within three days I gained relief from that adversity.
Today, by the grace of Allah I lead a very comfortable life.
