سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْحِجْرِ أَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ هُوَ أَوْ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَا قُلَامَةُ ظُفُرٍ وَ لَكِنْ إِسْمَاعِيلُ دَفَنَ أُمَّهُ فِيهِ فَكَرِهَ أَنْ تُوطَأَ فَحَجَّرَ عَلَيْهِ حِجْراً وَ فِيهِ قُبُورُ أَنْبِيَاءَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about Al-Hijr, is it from the House (Kaaba), or is there something (else) in it, from the House (Kaaba)?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, not even (the size of) a nail clipping. But, Ismail<sup>as</sup> buried his<sup>as</sup> mother in it, and he<sup>as</sup> disliked that it should be trampled upon. So he<sup>as</sup> built a chamber upon it, and therein are the graves of the Prophets<sup>as</sup>’.
