اَلسَّلامُ عَلى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلى أَميرِالْمُؤْمِنينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبي طالِبٍ ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلى خَديجَةَ الْكُبْرى ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلى فاطِمَةَ الزَّهْراءِ ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلى عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ.

    اَلسَّلامُ عَلى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلى جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلى مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلى عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسى ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلى عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْمَهْدِيِّ صاحِبِ الزَّمانِ.

    اَلسَّلامُ عَلَيْكَ يا عُثْمانَ بْنَ سَعيدٍ ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ بابُ الْمَوْلى ، أَدَّيْتَ عَنْهُ وَأَدَّيْتَ إِلَيْهِ ، ما خالَفْتَهُ وَلا خالَفْتَ عَلَيْهِ ، قُمْتَ خاصّاً ، وَانْصَرَفْتَ سابِقاً ، جِئْتُكَ عارِفاً بِالْحَقِّ الَّذي أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَنَّكَ ما خُنْتَ فِي التَّأْدِيَةِ وَالسِّفارَةِ.

    اَلسَّلامُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ بابٍ ما أَوْسَعَكَ ، وَمِنْ سَفيرٍ ما آمَنَكَ ، وَمِنْ ثِقَةٍ ما أَمْكَنَكَ ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ اخْتَصَّكَ بِنُورِهِ حَتَّى عايَنْتَ الشَّخْصَ ، فَأَدَّيْتَ عَنْهُ وَأَدَّيْتَ إِلَيْهِ.

Peace be upon the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon the commander of the faithful, Ali son of Abi Talib, peace be upon Khadjah Al-Kubrah, peace be upon Fatimah Zahra, peace be upon Al-Hasan son of Ali, peace be upon Al-Husein son of Ali, peace be upon Ali son of Al-Husein, peace be upon Muhammad son of Ali, peace be upon Ja'afar son of Muhammad.

Peace  be upon Musa son of Ja'afar, peace be upon Ali son of Musa, peace be upon Muhammad son of Ali, peace be upon Ali son of Muhammad, peace be upon Al-Hasan son of Ali, peace be upon Muhammad son of Al-Hasan Al-Mahdi, the leader of the time.

Peace be upon you, O' Uthman son of Sayeed, I testify that you are the gate to my master, you receive and take issues to him, you are not in contrary with him nor with those that send you to him, you specifically stood up  and has previously devoted yourself. I have come to you knowing the right you possess and testifying that you did not contravene in carrying out your duty and ambassadorship.

Peace be upon you the source of well-being whose gate is wide, and from the ambassadorship that was entrusted to you, and the trustworthiness that was empowered to you, I testify that Allah has chosen you with His light till you are viewed as person, and you convey from him and to him.

Then you repeat the salutation to the Prophet and the Imam (May Allah's blessing be upon them) till the salutation to the leader of the time, may Allah's blessing be upon him and say the following:

جِئْتُكَ مُخْلِصاً بِتَوْحيدِ اللَّهِ وَمُوالاةِ أَوْلِيائِهِ، وَالْبَراءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدائِهِمْ وَمِنَ الَّذينَ خالَفُوكَ، يا حُجَّةَ الْمَوْلى، وَبِكَ اللَّهُمَّ تَوَجُّهي، وَبِهِمْ إِلَيْكَ تَوَسُّلي.

I sincerely came to you through the oneness of Allah and allegiance to His saints, and denunciation from their enemies and those that are in contrary to you. O' the proof of the Master, O' Allah I concentrated to you, and through them I seek means towards You.

Then you supplicate and tender your request before Allah the Most High. You can also visit the other deputies with the same Ziyarah but you mention their names in the place of Uthman bn Sayeed.^[1]
