Al Moamino Farmaataa Hai woh Saiyede Abraar
Ek Baar Ziyarat ko meri Karta Hai Zawwar
Mar Jaata Hai jab voh to main Hotaa hoon azadar
Jaata hoon Lahadme Shabe Awwalko main so Baar
Marte Hai jo Zawwar Meri raahmein Aake
Detaa hoon unhe ghusl o Kafan aap mein aake
Preface By Printer & Publisher
With Due respects to our respected brothers-in-faith this humble man Haji Gulam Ali Ismail, (Printer & Publisher) submits that by the grace of Allah Almighty and with the blessings of Hazrat Imam Raza (A.S.) Dawood Haji Nasser Haji Mavji of Bombay was fortunate to get the great benefit to present himself in the Haram Mubarak of Hazrat (A.S.) and to recite Ziyarat there. In order to commemorate the great event he has written a detailed description of his pilgrimage and named it BOMBAY TO MASHHAD. He got 1500 copies printed at my Press and gifted the same to brothers-in-faith so that it can serve as a guide for those who may intend to go for Ziyarat.
May ALLAH ALMIGHTY bestow upon this brother the best rewards in both this world and in the hereafter Ameen

Reward of Ziyarat of Imame Raza (A.S.)
This Imam-e-gareebul guraba is our eighth Imam. Accordingly below published are eight ahadis to encourage the faithful to undertake his Ziyarat. These Ahadis have been taken from the farsi book Tohfatur Razviyyah:--
1. Janaab Shaikh Tusi (A.M.) in Tehzeebul Ahkaam and Janaab Saduq in Oyunul Akhbaare Raza (A.S.) have narrated that Imaame Moosiye Kaazim (A.S.) said : Whoever will perform the Ziyarat of my son Ali will get the Sawaab of Seventy Haj from Allah Taala! The narrator inquired : Seventy Haj? He said Yes rather Seventy Thousand Haj. There are Haj Pilgrimages that are not accepted by Allah but the Haj mentioned by me are those that are accepted. Thereafter he said : Whomsoever performs the Ziyarat of my son and stays there overnight will be like the one who makes the Ziyarat of Allah on arsh. Becoming more astonished ,the narrator asked : Oh Hazrat : How is it possible to make a Ziyarat of Allah on arsh? He replied On Qiyaamat Allah Taala will call four great men from the former and four from the latter on his Arsh; The former Four will be 1.Hazrat Nooh 2.Hazrat Ebrahim 3.Hazrat Moosa and 4.Hazrat Isa, whereas the latter four will be 1.Hazrat Mohammed (SAWA) 2.Hazrat Ali (A.S.) 3.Hazrat Hasan (A.S.) and 4.Hazrat Husain (A.S). May peace and mercy of Allah be upon all of them. A dining cloth will be spread for their feast and eatables will be put thereon. The aimma-e-Tahereen (rest of the Imams) as well as their Zawwars will also be invited there (All of them will have a feast).This is the Ziyarat of Allah. The highest in rank of all the Zawwars will be the Zawwars of Imam Raza (A.S) and they will be deserving the best of rewards.
2. It is proved by these traditions that the sawaab (reward) of Ziyarat of Imam Raza (A.S.) is more than any other Ziyarat. Specially the sawaab of Imam Huseins (A.S.) Ziyarat is very great. About it there is a separate book NAJAATUL KHAFEKAYAN FI ZIYARATIL HUSAIN which contains about 300 ahaadees regarding the sawaab of Ziyarat. The details regarding the time and date etc. are also mentioned therein to such an extent that some ulemaas consider this Ziyarat Waajib (compulsory).Yet I did not find any tradition that shows any Ziyarat, Sawaab of which is like sawaab of Imam Raza (A.S.)s. Many wise people wonder how much esteem Hazrat has before God that his zawaars sins will be forgiven even if they are more than all men and Jinns.(ALLAHUMMA SALLE ALAA MOHAMMED VA AALE MOHAMMED)
3. Hazrat Rasool-e-Khuda has said : Shortly one of my limbs will be buried in Khorasaans soil, so if any grief-stricken performs his Ziyarat Allah will relieve his grief and also forgive all his sins.
4. Hazrat Ameerul Moameneen said : one of my progeny will be martyred through persecution and poisoning on the earth of the Khorasaan. He will have my name. His fathers name will be the same as Imrans son Moosa. Be it known that those who will go so far and perform his Ziyarat, Allah will forgive his sins gone by and those to come be they as many in number as the stars and raindrops and the tree leaves.
