Hadith 632
۞
1. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ya’qūb ibn Yazīd, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali, from Yūnus ibn Rafī’ (Rabī’), who said
Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said, “There is some red dust next to the head of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) which is the cure for every disease except death.” After we heard this Ḥadīth, we went to the Grave (of Ḥusain (a.s.)) and started digging (the area) next to the head of the grave. After digging an ell, about one dirham of red dust which looked like sand started to flow down from the direction of the head. We took it to Kūfah, mixed it (with water), and covered it. Then we started distributing it to people to cure their diseases.
1 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ رَفِيعٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ
إِنَّ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) لَتُرْبَةً حَمْرَاءَ فِيهَا شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلَّا السَّامَ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ الْقَبْرَ بَعْدَ مَا سَمِعْنَا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَاحْتَفَرْنَا عِنْدَ رَأْسِ الْقَبْرِ فَلَمَّا حَفَرْنَا قَدْرَ ذِرَاعٍ انْحَدَرَتْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ رَأْسِ الْقَبْرِ مِثْلُ السَّهْلَةِ حَمْرَاءَ قَدْرَ دِرْهَمٍ فَحَمَلْنَاهُ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ فَمَزَجْنَاهُ وَ خَبَيْنَاهُ فَأَقْبَلْنَا نُعْطِي النَّاسَ يَتَدَاوَوْنَ بِهِ
