5. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Safwan al-Jammal who has said the following.
“Once I, ‘Amir and ‘Abdallah ibn Judha'a al-’Azdi were in the presence of abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.). The narrator has said that ‘Amir said to The Imam (a.s.), "May I be sacrificed for you, people think that Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) was buried in al-Rahba (an open space near the mosque of Kufa).” He (a.s.) responded, “No (he was not buried there).” He then asked, “Where was he buried?” He (a.s.) said, “When he died, al-Hassan (a.s.) carried him towards the outskirts of al-Kufa, near al-Najaf, towards the left of al-Ghariyyah, and the right of al-Hira. He buried him among the small dunes of white sands.” Later on I went to the place and I thought of one place as being it. I then returned and informed him (a.s.) about it. So he (a.s.) said, “You found it, may Allah have mercy on you.” three times.
5ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ قَالَ
كُنْتُ أَنَا وَعَامِرٌ وَعَبْدُ الله بْنُ جُذَاعَةَ الازْدِيُّ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَامِرٌ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) دُفِنَ بِالرَّحْبَةِ قَالَ لا قَالَ فَأَيْنَ دُفِنَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَمَّا مَاتَ احْتَمَلَهُ الْحَسَنُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَأَتَى بِهِ ظَهْرَ الْكُوفَةِ قَرِيباً مِنَ النَّجَفِ يَسْرَةً عَنِ الْغَرِيِّ يَمْنَةً عَنِ الْحِيرَةِ فَدَفَنَهُ بَيْنَ رَكَوَاتٍ بِيضٍ قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدُ ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ فَتَوَهَّمْتُ مَوْضِعاً مِنْهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي أَصَبْتَ رَحِمَكَ الله ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ.
