How to Establish Prayers Next to the Grave of Ĥusain عليه السلام

5. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Ayyūb ibn Nūḥ, and from others, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Mughīrah, from Abil Yasa’, who said: I heard a man ask Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) about performing Ghusl before going to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ḥusain عليه السلام. Then he asked, “Can I pray toward Qiblah facing the grave?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “Move to the side a little.” The man asked, “Can I take some of the clay of the grave of Ḥusain عليه السلام and keep it to seek blessings from it?” Imam عليه السلام replied, “Yes – or he said – there is nothing wrong with doing so.”
