Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hassan from Ali ibn Ibrahim al-‘Aqili, in a marfu‘ manner, (yarfa‘uhu) has said the following: “When Ibn Muljam injured Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) he (Ali) said to al-Hassan (a.s.), 'My son, If I will die, kill Ibn Muljam, dig the ground for him in al-Kunasa (name of a place) and throw him therein.

(According to ‘Aqili’s description al-Kunasa is at the gate called ‘Taq al-Mahamil’ where people cook animals’ legs and heads for food) It is a valley of the valleys of Hell.” يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi) رفوع - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (3/304))
