سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ وَضْعِ الرَّجُلِ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ مَا هُوَ وَ لِمَ صَنَعَ فَقَالَ صَنَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَلَى ابْنِهِ بَعْدَ النَّضْحِ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ كَيْفَ أَضَعُ يَدِي عَلَى قُبُورِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ وَضَعَهَا عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ رَفَعَهَا وَ هُوَ مُقَابِلُ الْقِبْلَةِ .
Translation
Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at, from someone else, from Aban, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Abdullah who said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man placing hishand upon the grace, what is it, and why is it done?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> did it upon his<sup>asws</sup> son<sup>as</sup> after sprinkling of the water’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about how I should be placing myhand upon the graves of the Muslims. So he<sup>asws</sup> gestured by his<sup>asws</sup> hand to the ground and placed it upon it, then raised it, and he<sup>asws</sup> was facing the Qiblah’.
