A meditation on Ziyārat Al-Jāmeat Al-Kabirat

In the great heritage of the Prophet''s Houshold (Ahl al-Bait) –peace be upon them- there isvaluable treasure. The name of this spiritual treasure is Ziyarat Al-Jame''at Al-Kabirat. The lovers of metaphysics and beyond natural realm try to reach the treasure by making a relation with an axial point in genetic guardianship. Consequently، in addition to connection through the heart، pronunciation of the words which is appropriate for the states and positions of persons is important and necessary too. Undoubtedly، one of the most important and comprehensive texts thatcan carry this burden is Ziyarat Al-Jame''at Al-Kabirat، narrated from Imam Hadi، the content of which has deep، spiritual، elegant، political، moral، and epistemic meanings، and may lead the lovers and pilgrims to the highest summit of knowledge in the realm of knowing Imam. Deferent hadith sources of Shia، from Saduq''sUyun in the fourth century to Meshkini''sMisbah in the fifteenth century have narrated this supplication. Its eloquent text، along with the Holy Quran and other texts of supplication، is recited in the houses of Shi''iteson different occasions. On the other hand، some scholars، like Mohaddith-e Nuri، claim some parts of the text have been omitted during the history. In this article، the whole text is studied and I reply to those who claim the omission; rather، those who claim the distortion of the text of Ziyarat Al-Jame''at Al-Kabirat. In conclusion، it is insisted that no change، addition or omission have been occurred forthe famous textof this supplication.
