Ziyarat from a distance

Bismilla-heer-Rahmaneer-Raheem

Imām Ja'far ibn Muḥammad al-Sādiq (a.s.) said:

O Sadir! How difficult is it for you to perform the Ziyarat of Imām Husain (a.s.) five times every Friday and once every day?

I replied, “May I be sacrificed on you, there is a great distance between us.”

Imām (a.s.) said: Ascend to the roof of your house, look to the right and left, raise your head to the sky and then tryto face the direction of the grave of Imām Husain (a.s.) and say:

As Salamo Alayka Ya Aba Abdullah, As-Salamo Alayka Wa Rahmatullahe Wa Barakatahu

Translation: Peace be on you, Abu Abdullah. Peace be on you and Allāh’s mercy and blessings be on you.”
