The birth of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali  عليه السلام — report 5

5. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Safwan al-Jammal who has said the following. “Once I, ‘Amir and ‘Abdallah ibn Judha'a al-’Azdi were in the presence of abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام . The narrator has said that ‘Amir said to The Imam عليه السلام , "May I be sacrificed for you, people think that Amir al-Mu’minin عليه السلام was buried in al-Rahba (an open space near the mosque of Kufa).” He عليه السلام responded, “No (he was not buried there).” He then asked, “Where was he buried?” He عليه السلام said, “When he died, al-Hassan عليه السلام carried him towards the outskirts of al-Kufa, near al-Najaf, towards the left of al-Ghariyyah, and the right of al-Hira. He buried him among the small dunes of white sands.” Later on I went to the place and I thought of one place as being it. I then returned and informed him عليه السلام about it. So he عليه السلام said, “You found it, may Allah have mercy on you.” three times.
