My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Abī Nasr, who said: I asked Imam Riďā (a.s.) about the location of the grave of the Commander of the Believers (a.s.). He told me that it was in Gharī. I asked, “May I sacrifice myself for you! Some people say that he is buried in Ruḥbah.” Imam (a.s.) replied, “No. Some people (even) believe that he is buried in the Mosque (of Kūfah).”
