The addressee of second-person plural pronouns is the Ahl al-Bayt (a) and the addressee of second-person singular pronoun is Imam al-Husayn (a). In the Ziyara Ashura, the long-standing injustice done toward Shi'a has been counted with two forms of second-person singular and plural pronouns. This is both vocal and practical respect toward those who followed the Imam and sacrificed their souls for the sake of Imama. The start and end, greeting, and farewell of this Ziyara express salutation to Imam al-Husayn (s) and the souls resting near him. Ziyara Ashura starts with expressing salutation to Imam al-Husayn (a) and continues to express salutation to those who sacrificed themselves for him. 'Alqama, a narrator of the ziyara Ashura', asked Imam al-Baqir (a): "What is the reward for one who lives in a city far from Karbala and cannot go there on such a day, but visits the shrine from a distance?" The Imam (a) replied: I guarantee that if one visits Imam al-Husayn (a) from a distance on this day, then they will be rewarded like someone who visited the shrine directly. Ali (a) since he has been martyred, would as well be written for you." 'Alqama continues: "When the Imam finished reciting the ziyara, he said me 'O 'Alqama, if you can recite this ziyara every day during your lifetime, do it and all its reward will be yours." Ziyarah from Distance The Imam said: O 'Alqama, after you direct salutation toward him, perform a two-rak'a prayer, and after that, recite this ziyara-text, by reciting this ziyara you have truly called him in the way that angels call him when they want to address him, and Allah gives you thousand thousand (one million) rewards and forgives thousand thousand sins of yours and elevates your status thousand thousand levels, and you will be considered as one of those who were martyred along him and you even share their status and the rewards of the Prophets, Apostles and all those who have visited al-Husayn b. Muhammad al-Hadrami says: I requested Imam al-Baqir (a) to "teach me something so that I can recite it when I visit him ( Imam al-Husayn (a)) from nearby on this day (day of Ashura): and teach me something so that I can recite it when I want to direct my salutation toward him from regions far from Karbala and my home.
