1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِذَا بَعُدَتْ بِأَحَدِكُمُ الشُّقَّةُ وَنَأَتْ بِهِ الدَّارُ فَلْيَعْلُ أَعْلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَلْيُومِ بِالسَّلامِ إِلَى قُبُورِنَا فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يَصِلُ إِلَيْنَا.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from those narrated to him who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘If the location of one of you is far away and your home is at a distant place, you then should climb on the roof of your house. You should perform two Rak‘at salat (prayer) and then turn, for offering your greeting of peace, to our graves; we receive such offering of greeting of peace.’”
