Hadith 73
۞
1. My father, my brother, ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain, and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan all narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Abī Khalaf, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from ‘Ali ibn Ḥakam, from Safwān Al-Jammāl, who said
‘Āmir ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Judhā’ah Al-Azdi and I were with Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) when ‘Āmir said to the Imam (a.s.), “People believe that the Commander of the Believers (a.s.) was buried in Ruḥbah.” “No,” Imam (a.s.) replied. “So where was he buried?” ‘Āmir asked. Imam (a.s.) replied: After the death of the Commander of the Believers (a.s.), Ḥasan (a.s.) carried him (to an area which is located) behind Kūfah, close to (the sea of) Najaf, to the left side of Gharī, and on the right side of Ḥīrah. He buried (the Commander of the Believers (a.s.)) in some white-coloured gravel. After some time, I (Safwān Al-Jammāl) went to the location (which the Imam (a.s.) had described), and I thought I had found the grave. When I returned, I told the Imam (a.s.) about the location (that I had thought to be the grave of the Commander of the Believers (a.s.)). Imam (a.s.) responded, “You were right! You were right! You were right! May Allāh have mercy on you.”
1 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ أَخِي وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ جَمِيعاً عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ قَالَ
كُنْتُ وَ عَامِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُذَاعَةَ الْأَزْدِيُّ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) فَقَالَ لَهُ عَامِرٌ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (ع) دُفِنَ بِالرَّحْبَةِ فَقَالَ لَا قَالَ فَأَيْنَ دُفِنَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَمَّا مَاتَ حَمَلَهُ الْحَسَنُ (ع) فَأَتَى بِهِ ظَهْرَ الْكُوفَةِ قَرِيباً مِنَ النَّجَفِ يَسْرَةً عَنِ الْغَرِيِّ يَمْنَةً عَنِ الْحِيرَةِ فَدُفِنَ بَيْنَ ذَكَوَاتٍ بِيضٍ قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدُ ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ فَتَوَهَّمْتُ مَوْضِعاً مِنْهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَصَبْتَ أَصَبْتَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ [أَصَبْتَ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ]
