Ziyarat Jamia Saghira
The Minor Comprehensive Form of Ziyarah
Imam al-Ridha (peace be upon him) was once asked about the way of visiting Imam Musa Kadhim (peace be upon him). He answered, "You may pray in the mosques surrounding his tomb. It is however acceptable to say the following (form of ziyarah) at all shrines."
