Ibn Qawlawayh, in his book titled ‘al-Mazar’ records the following on the authority of Safwan:

I asked Imam Sadiq (A.S), peace be upon him, to permit me to visit (the holy tomb of) my master Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, and also asked him to guide me what to do. The Imam said to me:

 عن كتاب المزار لابن قولويه قال: استأذنت الإمام الصادق، عليه السلام، لزيارة مولاي الحسين، عليه السلام، وسألته أن يعرّفني ما أعمل عليه، فقال

“O Safwan, before you begin your journey to visit the tomb of Imam Hussein, you should fast for three days and, on the third day, wash yourself, gather your family members, and recite (the Dua’a): O Allah, I keep with you… etc." 

 يا صفوان؛ صم ثلاثة أيام قبل خروجك واغتسل في اليوم الثالث، ثم اجمع إليك أهلك ثم قل: اللهم إني استودعك… الخ

Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, then taught Safwan a Dua’a to be recited near the River Euphrates.

 ثم علمه دعاءً يدعو به إذا أتى الفرات

“He, peace be upon him, then said: “Wash yourself in the River Euphrates, for my father, on the authority of his fathers, narrated that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his family, said:

 ثم قال: ثم اغتسل من الفرات فإن أبي حدثني عن آبائه عليهم السلام قال: قال رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وآله
