Hadith.3195 - Safwan ibn Mehran al-Jammal has narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as): He was traveling, and
I was with him in al-Qadisiyyah until he overlooked the Najaf. Imam (as) said: "This is the mountain to which my grandfather Noah (as) sought refuge when he said, ‘I will take refuge on a mountain that will protect me from the water.’ Allah (swt), the Mighty and Exalted, revealed to him, ‘O mountain, can anyone seek refuge from Me in you?’ So it sank into the earth and broke apart, extending to the Levant." Then Imam (as) said: "Turn us toward the side." I turned with him, and Imam (as) continued traveling until he arrived at al-Ghariyy. Imam (as) stood by the grave and sent peace and blessings, beginning with Adam, and then every prophet (as) one by one. I joined him in sending blessings until he reached the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family. Then Imam (as) fell to the ground at the grave, saluted it, and began to weep loudly. Afterward, Imam (as) stood up and prayed four units of prayer (in another narration, six units), and I prayed with him. I then asked: "O son of the Messenger of Allah (swt), whose grave is this?" Imam (as) replied: "This is the grave of my grandfather, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him."

سَارَ وَ أَنَا مَعَهُ فِي اَلْقَادِسِيَّةِ حَتَّى أَشْرَفَ عَلَى اَلنَّجَفِ فَقَالَ «هُوَ اَلْجَبَلُ اَلَّذِي اِعْتَصَمَ بِهِ اِبْنُ جَدِّي نُوحٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ «سَآوِي إِلىٰ جَبَلٍ يَعْصِمُنِي مِنَ اَلْمٰاءِ» فَأَوْحَى اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ يَا جَبَلُ أَ يَعْتَصِمُ بِكَ مِنِّي أَحَدٌ فَغَارَ فِي اَلْأَرْضِ وَ تَقَطَّعَ إِلَى اَلشَّامِ » ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «اِعْدِلْ بِنَا» قَالَ فَعَدَلْتُ بِهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ سَائِراً حَتَّى أَتَى اَلْغَرِيَّ فَوَقَفَ عَلَى اَلْقَبْرِ فَسَاقَ اَلسَّلاَمَ مِنْ آدَمَ عَلَى نَبِيٍّ نَبِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَنَا أَسُوقُ اَلسَّلاَمَ مَعَهُ حَتَّى وَصَلَ اَلسَّلاَمَ إِلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَّ عَلَى اَلْقَبْرِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلاَ نَحِيبُهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ يَا اِبْنَ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ مَا هَذَا اَلْقَبْرُ قَالَ «هَذَا اَلْقَبْرُ قَبْرُ جَدِّي عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ ».
