Kulaini has narrated through authentic chains of narrators from Imam

Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) and Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) that when the

Messenger of Allah (S) came to the grave of his son, Ibrahim he sat down

at it facing the Qiblah and told them to place Ibrahim, head first into

Sadiq (a.s.) that Ibrahim passed away from the world and the Prophet

wept saying: “The eyes weep and the heart is full of grief, but we don’t

say anything which may displease the Almighty Allah.” Then addressing

Ibrahim said: “We are sorrowful because of your death.” Then he noticed

a hole in the grave and he closed it saying: “If anyone of you does

something he should complete it.”

Then he said: “O Ibrahim, join your pious ancestor, Uthman bin Mazun.”

And it is mentioned in another report that when the Holy Prophet (S)

became sorrowful for Ibrahim, companions remarked: “O Allah’s Messenger,

you are also weeping?” His Eminence replied: “This weeping is not by way

of complaint. It is due to the sadness and mercy of the heart. If a

(a.s.) that a date palm grew over Ibrahim’s grave shading the tomb. And

as the sun went around the grave the tree used to turn in its direction

so that no sunlight ever fell on the grave. So much so that the tree

that he told his companion: “When you visit Medina, you must also visit

the chambers of the mother of Ibrahim, because it was home of the

Prophet and a place of his prayers.”
