١ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ رَفِيعٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ إِنَّ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ (ع) لَتُرْبَةً حَمْرَاءَ فِيهَا شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلَّا السَّامَ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ الْقَبْرَ بَعْدَ مَا سَمِعْنَا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَاحْتَفَرْنَا عِنْدَ رَأْسِ الْقَبْرِ فَلَمَّا حَفَرْنَا قَدْرَ ذِرَاعٍ انْحَدَرَتْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ رَأْسِ الْقَبْرِ مِثْلُ السَّهْلَةِ حَمْرَاءَ قَدْرَ دِرْهَمٍ فَحَمَلْنَاهُ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ فَمَزَجْنَاهُ وَ خَبَيْنَاهُ فَأَقْبَلْنَا نُعْطِي النَّاسَ يَتَدَاوَوْنَ بِهِ
1. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ya’qūb ibn Yazǐd, from Ĥasan ibn ‘Ali, from Yūnus ibn Rafǐ’ (Rabǐ’), who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ) said, “There is some red dust next to the head of Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali  which is the cure for every disease except death.” After we heard this Ĥadǐth, we went to the Grave (of Ĥusain ) and started digging (the area) next to the head of the grave. After digging an ell, about one dirham of red dust which looked like sand started to flow down from the direction of the head. We took it to Kūfah, mixed it (with water), and covered it. Then we started distributing it to people to cure their diseases.
