31ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ خَرَجَ نَهْيٌ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ مَقَابِرِ قُرَيْشٍ وَالْحَيْرِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ أَشْهُرٍ دَعَا الْوَزِيرُ الْبَاقَطَائِيَّ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْقَ بَنِي الْفُرَاتِ وَالْبُرْسِيِّينَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ لا يَزُورُوا مَقَابِرَ قُرَيْشٍ فَقَدْ أَمَرَ الْخَلِيفَةُ أَنْ يُتَفَقَّدَ كُلُّ مَنْ زَارَ فَيُقْبَضَ عَلَيْهِ.
