6ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ أَتَانِي عُمَرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ فَقَالَ لِي ارْكَبْ فَرَكِبْتُ مَعَهُ فَمَضَيْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا مَنْزِلَ حَفْصٍ الْكُنَاسِيِّ فَاسْتَخْرَجْتُهُ فَرَكِبَ مَعَنَا ثُمَّ مَضَيْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْغَرِيَّ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى قَبْرٍ فَقَالَ انْزِلُوا هَذَا قَبْرُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَقُلْنَا مِنْ أَيْنَ عَلِمْتَ فَقَالَ أَتَيْتُهُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) حَيْثُ كَانَ بِالْحِيرَةِ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ وَخَبَّرَنِي أَنَّهُ قَبْرُهُ.
6. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from ‘Abdallah ibn Sinan who has said the following. “Once ‘Umar ibn yazid came to me and said, “Ride with us and rode with them and went until we came to the house of Hafs al-Kunasi. He took him also with us and we continued the journey until we arrived at al-Ghari and to the grave. He said, “dismount, this is the grave of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali عليه السلام.” We asked him, “How did you find out?” He said, “I have come here several times with abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام when he was in al-Hira and he told me that this is his (Amir al-Mu’minin Ali عليه السلام grave.”
