Bishr and Bashir, two sons of Ghalib al-Asadi, have narrated that: during the last hours of 'Arafah, we were with Imam al-Hussain (A.S). Among a group of his family members, relatives and his Shi'a, the Imam (A.S) came out of the tent, and with the utmost humility and obeisance, he stood on the left side of the mountain, turned his face toward the direction of Ka'bah, raised his hands toward the sky in front of his face and started this supplication. (Ref: Sheikh Abbas al-Qummi, Mafatih al-Jinan, page 363)
