(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub, (and) ‘Basaair Al Darajaat’ – From Sa’ad Al Qummy. Abu Al Fazl Bin Zukeyn said, ‘It is narrated to me by Muhammad Bin Rashid, from his father, from his grandfather who said, ‘I asked Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws for a sign. He-asws said: ‘Ask me-asws whatever you so desire to, I-asws shall inform you, if Allah-azwj so Desires’. I said, ‘There is a brother of mine who is sleeping among these graves (dead).

Ibn Abu Hamza said, ‘The youth returned with us to Al-Kufa. He did not leave anything upon the surface of the earth except he extracted from it to the extent of his clothes which were upon his body’.
