٥ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ وَ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْيَسَعِ قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) وَ أَنَا أَسْمَعُ عَنِ الْغُسْلِ إِذَا أَتَى قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) قَالَ أَجْعَلُهُ قِبْلَةً إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ قَالَ تَنَحَّ هَكَذَا نَاحِيَةً قَالَ آخُذُ مِنْ طِينِ قَبْرِهِ وَ يَكُونُ عِنْدِي أَطْلُبُ بَرَكَتَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَوْ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ
5. Muĥammad ibn Ja’far narrated to me from Muĥammad ibn Ĥusain, from Ayyūb ibn Nūĥ, and from others, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Mughǐrah, from Abil Yasa’, who said: I heard a man ask Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ) about performing Ghusl before going to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Ĥusain . Then he asked, “Can I pray toward Qiblah facing the grave?” Imam  replied, “Move to the side a little.” The man asked, “Can I take some of the clay of the grave of Ĥusain  and keep it to seek blessings from it?” Imam  replied, “Yes – or he said – there is nothing wrong with doing so.”
