The Imam (a.s.) has said that the camel came after he passed away and we were not aware but we noticed only when one of the servants or slaves came and said, 'The she camel has went out all the way to the grave of Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) and sat on the grave. She rubs her neck against the grave and moans. I then asked them to quickly get to her before they would know about her or see her.

The Imam (a.s.) has said, 'She had never seen the grave before.'” وثق صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (8/6)) صحيح - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi (1/53))
