[13] What Should Be Recited Before Eating the Dust of the Grave of Al-Hussain -asws : ‏حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ره وَ جَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبَصْرِيِّ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ‏ طِينُ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ وَ إِذَا أَكَلْتَهُ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً وَ عِلْماً نَافِعاً وَ شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِنَّكَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ My father narrated to me from Sad ibn ‘Abdillah, from Mohammed ibn Isa ibn ‘Ubayd, from Mohammed ibn Isma’il Al-Basri, from some of his scholars, who said: Abi’ Abdillah (Imam Sadiq -asws ) said: ‘The clay of the grave of Hussain -asws is a cure for every disease.

When you eat it, recite (the following):’ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً وَ عِلْماً نَافِعاً وَ شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِنَّكَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ (I start) in the name of Allah -azwj and by Allah -azwj . O Allah -azwj ! Make it (the cause of) extensive sustenance and beneficial knowledge (for me) and make it my cure from every disease. Verily, You -azwj have power all things.
