1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Yahya ibn Zakariya from Yazid ibn ‘Umar ibn Talhah who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah , once said to me, when he was in al-Hirah, ’Do you want to have what I had promised you?’ I said, ‘Yes, I do want to have it,’ meaning visiting the gravesite of ’Amir al-Mu’minin. He (the narrator) has said, ‘He, Isma‘il and I embarked with them and we moved until we passed al-Thuwayyah (a place near al-Kufah). Between al-Hirah and al-Najaf there were white pieces of stones. He (the Imam) disembarked so also did Isma‘il and I. He (the Imam) performed salat (prayer) so also did Isma‘il and I also performed salat (prayer). He (the Imam) said to Isma‘il, ‘Stand up and offer al-Salam to your great grandfather, al-Husayn  .’ I then asked, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, is not al-Husayn , in Karbala 5 ?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘That is true but when they were taking his head to al-Sham one of our friends stealthily took the head away from them and buried it beside ’Amir al-Mu’minin .’”
