Abstract
The al-Warith Ziarat-Text in favor of Imam al-Husayn contains the names of certain pre-Islamic prophets. They are mentioned as noteworthy dignitaries whose influence can be discerned in the sublime personality and career of Imam al-Husayn. Being merely a selection, such influential personalities are not limited to those whose names are listed. Rather, Imam al-Husayn received noble traits of all the Divine prophets plus those of his parents, ie, Imam Ali and Fatimah al-Zahra, and his elder brother al-Hasan.
