Indication of the Location of the Grave of the Commander of the Believers عليه السلام
5 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَتِّيلٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْخَزَّازِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي الْفَرَجِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) فَمَرَّ بِظَهْرِ الْكُوفَةِ فَنَزَلَ وَ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ- ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ قَلِيلًا فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَارَ قَلِيلًا فَنَزَلَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا مَوْضِعُ قَبْرِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَمَا الْمَوْضِعَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ صَلَّيْتَ فِيهِمَا قَالَ مَوْضِعُ رَأْسِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) وَ مَوْضِعُ مِنْبَرِ الْقَائِمِ ع
5. My father and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan both narrated to me from Ḥasan ibn Mattīl, from Sahl ibn Ziyād, from Ibrāhīm ibn ‘Uqbah, from Ḥasan Al-Khazzāz Al-Washā, from Abil Faraj, from Abān ibn Taghlib, who said: I was with Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) when he passed through (the area) behind Kūfah. He stopped there and prayed two Rak’ah. Then he moved forward a little and prayed another two Rak’ah. Then he moved forward a little further and prayed another two Rak’ah. Then he said, “This is the location of the grave of the Commander of the Believers عليه السلام.” “May I sacrifice myself for you! What were the other two locations on which you prayed?” I asked. “The location of the head of Ḥusain عليه السلام and the location of the pulpit of the Qā`im عليه السلام,” Imam عليه السلام replied.
