It is a simple but highly recommended ritual to express "salaam" on several occasions. One such occasion is after drinking water. Granted that the Umayyads and many ‘Abbasid rulers tried to prevent people from going on pilgrimage to the tomb of Imam al-Husayn at Karbala, Iraq, the Infallible Imams did their best to encourage people to go on pilgrimage and express their ardent feelings and enact the pilgrimage rituals by the tomb of Imam al-Husayn. Hence, a formulaic sentence that expresses such sincere feelings in
such prayer-like "ziarat-texts" is as "May salaam be bestowed upon/ unto you, O Aba ‘Abd Allah!". |
