Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nadr ibn al-Suwayd, from al-Qasim ibn Sulayman from ‘Abd al-Hamid ibn abu Ja‘far al-Farra’ who has said the following: “Once, one of the teeth of abu Ja‘far (a.s.), came off. He placed it on his palm and then said, ‘All praise belongs to Allah.’ Then he said, ‘O Ja‘far, when I die and you bury me, bury this also with me.’ After a while another tooth came off. He placed it on his palm and said, ‘All praise belongs to Allah.

O Ja‘far, when I die, then bury this with me.’” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (4/266))
