2. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn al-Fadhal from ibn Bukayr from Zurara who has said the following.
“I heard Abu Ja‘far (a.s.) say, ‘Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) had a she camel. He had taken this camel twenty two times to Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) and had not used the whip against not even once. The Imam (a.s.) has said that the camel came after he passed away and we were not aware but we noticed only when one of the servants or slaves came and said, 'The she camel has went out all the way to the grave of Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) and sat on the grave. She rubs her neck against the grave and moans. I then asked them to quickly get to her before they would know about her or see her. The Imam (a.s.) has said, 'She had never seen the grave before.'”
2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ كَانَ لِعَلِيِّ بن الحسين (عَلَيْهما السَّلام) نَاقَةٌ حَجَّ عَلَيْهَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ حَجَّةً مَا قَرَعَهَا قَرْعَةً قَطُّ قَالَ فَجَاءَتْ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَمَا شَعَرْنَا بِهَا إِلا وَقَدْ جَاءَنِي بَعْضُ خَدَمِنَا أَوْ بَعْضُ الْمَوَالِي فَقَالَ إِنَّ النَّاقَةَ قَدْ خَرَجَتْ فَأَتَتْ قَبْرَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ فَانْبَرَكَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَدَلَكَتْ بِجِرَانِهَا الْقَبْرَ وَهِيَ تَرْغُو فَقُلْتُ أَدْرِكُوهَا أَدْرِكُوهَا وَجِيئُونِي بِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَعْلَمُوا بِهَا أَوْ يَرَوْهَا قَالَ وَمَا كَانَتْ رَأَتِ الْقَبْرَ قَطُّ.
