١١ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ جَمَاعَةُ مَشَايِخِي رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ مَرَّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (ع) بِكَرْبَلَاءَ فِي أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَلَمَّا مَرَّ بِهَا اغْرَوْرَقَتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِالْبُكَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا مُنَاخُ رِكَابِهِمْ وَ هَذَا مُلْقَى رِحَالِهِمْ- وَ هُنَا تُهْرَقُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ طُوبَى لَكِ مِنْ تُرْبَةٍ عَلَيْكِ تُهْرَقُ دِمَاءُ الْأَحِبَّةِ
11. My father and Muĥammad ibn Ĥasan both narrated to me from Ĥasan ibn Mattǐl, from Sahl ibn Ziyād, from ‘Ali ibn Asbāť, from Muĥammad ibn Sinān, from someone who narrated to him, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ) said: The Commander of the Believers, ‘Ali , was traveling with some people and when they were at the distance of one or two miles before Karbalā, the Commander of the Believers  went ahead of them. When he reached the place of the martyrdom of the martyrs (of Karbalā) he said, “Two hundred prophets, two hundred successors, and two hundred of the grandsons of the prophets have died here and all of them and all of their followers were martyrs.” Then the Commander of the Believers  circulated that land on his mule with his legs withdrawn from the stirrups and said, “This is where they will descend from their sumpters and this is where the martyrs will be killed. No one from the past has preceded them in rank and no one in the future will (ever) attain their rank.”
