6 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْخَيْبَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي وَلَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ مَرِيضاً مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَعْرِفُ حَقَّ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ حُرْمَتَهُ وَ وَلَايَتَهُ أُخِذَ لَهُ مِنْ طِينِ قَبْرِهِ عَلَى رَأْسِ مِيلٍ كَانَ لَهُ دَوَاءً وَ شِفَاءً

6. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from Muḥammad ibn Ismā’īl, from Al-Khaybari, from Abī Wallād, from Abī Bakr Al-Ḥaďrami, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: If a believer, who suffers from an illness and who believes in the rights of Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain (a.s.)) and believes in his sanctity and divine authority, uses some of the clay of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), he will be treated and cured by it even if the clay is collected from a distance of one mile away (from the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)).

1 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 Yazīd, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali, from Yūnus ibn Rafī’ (Rabī’), who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said, “There is some red dust next to the head of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) which is the cure for every disease except death.” After we heard this Ḥadīth, we went to the Grave (of Ḥusain (a.s.)) 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.

2 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ره وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رِزْقِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو السَّرَّاجِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ يُؤْخَذُ طِينُ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) مِنْ عِنْدِ الْقَبْرِ عَلَى قَدْرِ سَبْعِينَ بَاعاً

2. My father, Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan, and ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain all narrated to me from Sa’d, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Rizqillāh ibn ‘Alā, from Sulaymān ibn ‘Amr Al-Sarrāj, from some of our companions, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: The clay of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) can be collected from up to a distance of seventy fathoms from the grave.

3 حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ النَّهَاوَنْدِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ إِذَا تَنَاوَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ طِينِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَلْيَقُلْ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ الْمَلَكِ الَّذِي تَنَاوَلَهُ- وَ الرَّسُولِ الَّذِي بَوَّأَهُ وَ الْوَصِيِّ الَّذِي ضُمِّنَ فِيهِ أَنْ تَجْعَلَهُ شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ يُسَمِّي ذَلِكَ الدَّاءَ

3. ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain narrated to me from ‘Ali ibn Ibrāhīm, from Ibrāhīm ibn Isḥāq Al-Nahāwandi, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ḥammād Al-Ansāri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Sinān, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: When one of you holds the clay of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), you should recite (the following): O Allāh! I ask You through the right of the angel who picked it, and the Messenger who appointed it, and the Successor who is lying within it to make it the cure from every disease (and from this disease) – mention the name of the disease.

4 حَدَّثَنِي حَكِيمُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الرَّيَّانِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَسَدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مَصْقَلَةَ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْمَوْصِلِيِّ أَنَّ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ إِذَا أَخَذْتَ طِينَ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ فَقُلْ اللَّهُمَّ بِحَقِّ هَذِهِ التُّرْبَةِ وَ بِحَقِّ الْمَلَكِ الْمُوَكَّلِ بِهَا وَ الْمَلَكِ الَّذِي كَرَبَهَا وَ بِحَقِّ الْوَصِيِّ الَّذِي هُوَ فِيهَا صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْ هَذَا الطِّينَ شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ وَ أَمَاناً مِنْ كُلِّ خَوْفٍ فَإِنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ حَتْماً شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ وَ أَمَاناً مِنْ كُلِّ خَوْفٍ

4. Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd narrated to me from Salamah, from ‘Ali ibn Rayyān ibn Salt, from Ḥusain ibn Asad, from Aḥmad ibn Musqalah, from his uncle, from Abī Ja’far Al-Mūsili, who said: Abū Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)) said: When you take from the clay of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), you should say: O Allāh! I ask You through the right of this dust, through the right of the angel who is dedicated to it and the angel who dug it, and through the right of the Successor who is (lying) in it to send Your blessing on Muḥammad and the family of Muḥammad and to make this clay the cure from every disease and the protection against any fear. If you do this, then this clay will definitely be a cure for you from every disease and protection against any fear.

5. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār narrated to me from his grandfather ‘Ali ibn Mahziyār, from Ḥasan ibn Sa’īd, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān Al-Asam, from Abī ‘Amr – a scholar from Kūfah, from Abī Ḥamzah Al-Thumāli, who said: I was in Makkah when I said to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)), “May I sacrifice myself for you! I have seen some of our companions take some of the clay of the Ḥā`ir and seek cure with it. Does it contain any cure like they say it does?” Imam (a.s.) replied: It can be used as a cure even if it is collected from the distance of four miles away from the Grave (of Ḥusain (a.s.)). The same applies to the grave of my grandfather, the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.), and the same applies to the clay of the graves of Ḥasan (a.s.), ‘Ali (Imam Sajjād (a.s.)), and Muḥammad (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)). Take some of it (the clay of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.)), for verily it is a cure for every disease and a shield against any fearful matter. Nothing else from among that which is used to cure (an ailment) can be compared to it except supplication. However, the containers in which it is (often) kept and the lack of certainty of those who treat themselves with it spoils it. Those who are certain that if they treat themselves with it, they will be cured, (will find that) it will suffice them with the permission of Allāh from having to use any other medicine. The devils and the disbeliever Jinns also spoil it by rubbing themselves against it. Nothing passes by it without smelling it. As for the devils and the disbeliever Jinns, they envy humans because of it so they rub themselves against it and all of its fragrance vanishes. An innumerable number from among them (the devils and the disbeliever Jinns) prepare themselves as soon as the clay leaves the Ḥā`ir – for they cannot enter the Ḥā`ir because of the angels (who guard it) – and they rub themselves against the clay while it is in the hands of the person who is carrying it. If any part of this dust remained intact and was used to treat any patient, he would be cured immediately. So when you take from this clay, keep it hidden and mention Allāh, the Exalted, increasingly on it. I have been informed that some of the people who take from the dust belittle it so much that some of them even place it in the feedbag of their camels, mules and donkeys, or in their own food containers, or in the handkerchiefs which are used to wipe the hands after eating, or in their saddlebags!!! How can a person who dishonours it in this way seek cure with it?!!! (Verily) the uncertain hearts of those who belittle that which leads to their righteousness will ruin its effect.

6. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Rizqillāh ibn ‘Alā, from Sulaymān ibn ‘Amr Al-Sarrāj, from some of our companions, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: The clay of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) can be collected from up to (a radius of) seventy fathoms by seventy fathoms from the grave.

7 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ الْخَتْمُ عَلَى طِينِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) أَنْ يُقْرَأَ عَلَيْهِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ

7. Muḥammad ibn Ya’qūb narrated to me from ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad, who narrated that: He said: In order to seal the clay of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) one should recite (the chapter of) Innā Anzalnāh on it.

8 وَ رُوِيَ إِذَا أَخَذْتَهُ فَقُلْ اللَّهُمَّ بِحَقِّ هَذِهِ التُّرْبَةِ الطَّاهِرَةِ وَ بِحَقِّ الْبُقْعَةِ الطَّيِّبَةِ وَ بِحَقِّ الْوَصِيِّ الَّذِي تُوَارِيهِ وَ بِحَقِّ جَدِّهِ وَ أَبِيهِ وَ أُمِّهِ وَ أَخِيهِ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الَّذِينَ يَحُفُّونَ بِهِ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْعُكُوفِ عَلَى قَبْرِ وَلِيِّكَ- يَنْتَظِرُونَ نَصْرَهُ (صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ) وَ اجْعَلْ لِي فِيهِ شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ وَ أَمَاناً مِنْ كُلِّ خَوْفٍ وَ غِنًى مِنْ كُلِّ فَقْرٍ وَ عِزّاً مِنْ كُلِّ ذُلٍّ وَ أَوْسِعْ بِهِ عَلَيَّ فِي رِزْقِي وَ أَصِحَّ بِهِ جِسْمِي

8. It is narrated that: When one takes from the clay of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.), he should recite (the following): O Allāh! I ask You through the right of this purified dust, through the right of the blessed spot, through the right of the Successor who is buried in it, and through the right of his grandfather, his father, his mother, his brother, the angels who surround him, and the angels who have devoted themselves to the grave of Your Walī awaiting (the day of) his support – may Allāh’s blessing be upon all of them – to place my cure against every disease in it, to make it my protection against any fear, to make it my wealth at the time of need, to make it my honour against any disgraceful matter, to increase my sustenance through it, and to keep my body healthy through it.

9. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from his father, from ‘Ali ibn Muḥammad ibn Sālim, from Muḥammad ibn Khālid, from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ḥammād Al-Basri, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān Al-Asam, from someone from Kūfah, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: The sacred boundaries of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) are one parasang by one parasang by one parasang by one parasang.
