“One of the two Imam, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ’From whatever soil one is created in that soil one is buried also.’”
1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عَلَيْهِما الْسَّلام) قَالَ
مَنْ خُلِقَ مِنْ تُرْبَةٍ دُفِنَ فِيهَا.

Hadith 774
2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Hajjal from ibn Bukayr from abu Minhal from al-Harith ibn al- Mughirah who has said the following
“I once heard abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘When al-Nutfah (seed, sperm) falls in the womb Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, sends an angel who takes from the soil in which he is to be buried and dissolves it into the al-Nutfah. His heart continues yearning for that place until he is buried therein.’”
2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَجَّالِ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي مِنْهَالٍ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ النُّطْفَةَ إِذَا وَقَعَتْ فِي الرَّحِمِ بَعَثَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَلَكاً فَأَخَذَ مِنَ التُّرْبَةِ الَّتِي يُدْفَنُ فِيهَا فَمَاثَهَا فِي النُّطْفَةِ فَلاَ يَزَالُ قَلْبُهُ يَحِنُّ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى يُدْفَنَ فِيهَا.
