Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Yahya Bin Zakariyya, from Yazeed Bin Umar Bin Talha who said, ‘Abu Abdullah^asws said to me, and he^asws was at Al-Hira: ‘Do you want what I^asws have promised you?’ I said, ‘Yes’ – meaning the going to the grave of Amir Al-Momineen^asws. He (the narrator) said, ‘So he^asws rode, and Ismail rode, and I rode with the two of them until when Al-Sawaiyya was exceeded, and it was between Al-Hira and Al-Najaf, by the white stones, he^asws descended, and Ismail descended, and I descended along with them. So he^asws Prayed <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span>, and Ismail Prayed <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> and I Prayed <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> along with them. So he^asws said to Ismail: ‘Arise and greet your grandfather Al-Husayn^asws’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! Is not Al-Husayn^asws at Karbala?’ So he^asws said: ‘Yes, but when his^asws head was carried to Syria, a friend of ours^asws took it away for us^asws. So we^asws buried it by the side of Amir Al-Momineen^asws’.
