5. Muĥammad ibn Ĥusain ibn Mat Al-Jawhari narrated to me from Muĥammad ibn Aĥmad, from ‘Ali ibn Ismā’ǐl, from Muĥammad ibn ‘Amr, from Abān (ibn ‘Uthmān), from ‘Abdil Raĥmān ibn Abǐ ‘Abdillāh, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ), “How should I place my hand on the graves of the believers?” Imam  faced the Qiblah, pointed toward the earth, and then placed his hand on it.
