 6. A number of our people has narrated from al-Husayn ibn al-Hassan ibn Yazid from Badr from his father who has said that Salam abu Ali al-Khurasani narrated to me from Salam ibn Sa‘id al-Makhzumi who has said the following. “Once I was in the presence of abu ‘Abdallah  that ‘Abbad ibn Kathir, the devoted worshipper of Basra, and Shurayh, the Faqih, (scholar of law) of the people of Makka came to see The Imam . In the presence of abu ‘Abdallah  already there was Maymun al-Qaddah, the slave of abu Ja‘far . ‘Abbad ibn Kathir then asked abu ‘Abdallah , “O abu ‘Abdallah, how many pieces of cloths were used to shroud the Holy Prophet (s.a)?” The Imam  said, “With three pieces. Two of them were Suhari (made in Suhar, Yemen) and one Hibara (made in Hibara, Yemen). Burd (fabric made in Yemen) was rare to find. ‘Abbad seemed frowning (as if he did not believe in the rarity of the fabric) at this. The Imam  said, “The palm tree of (from which) Mary was ‘Ajwa (a kind of palm tree) and it had come from the heavens. Whatever grew from its roots they were also ‘Ajwa and whatever grew from its date-stones it became of lower quality.” When they left The Imam  ‘Abbad ibn Kathir said to ibn Shurayh, “By Allah, I did not understand his simile that abu ‘Abdallah put forward to me.” Ibn Shurayh then said, “ Ask this boy (Maymun al-Qaddah). He will explain it to you because he is from them.” He then ask the boy and he said, “ Is it true that you did not understand what he said to you?”. He ‘Abbad said, “No, by Allah, I did not understand.” The boy, Maymun al-Qaddah, then said, “The refers to his own self. He informed you that he is one of the children of the Messenger of Allah and the knowledge of the Messenger of Allah is with them. Whatever knowledge would come from them is true and correct and whatever comes from other sources are not genuine.”
