عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اَلنَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« مَنْ دَخَلَ اَلْقَبْرَ فَلاَ يَخْرُجْ مِنْهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ قِبَلِ اَلرِّجْلَيْنِ».
Ali ibn Ibrahim narrated from his father, from al-Nawfali, from al-Sakuni, from Imam Ja’far Al Sadiq عليه السلام, from his father Imam Al Baqir عليه السلام: Imam عليه السلام said: "Whoever enters the grave should not exit from it except from the side of the feet."
