Chapter: The Clay of the Grave of Ĥusain (a.s.): A Cure and Protection 1 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَ جَ٠َاعَةٌ ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ ٠َّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (ع) ٠ِنْ خُرَاسَانَ ثِيَابَ رِزَ٠ٍ وَ كَانَ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ طِينٌ فَقُلْتُ لِلرَّسُولِ ٠َا هَذَا قَالَ طِينُ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) ٠َا كَانَ يُوَجِّهُ شَيْئاً ٠ِنَ الثِّيَابِ وَ لَا غَيْرِهِ إِلَّا وَ يَجْعَلُ فِيهِ الطِّينَ وَ كَانَ يَقُولُ هُوَ أَ٠َانٌ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ 1.

My father and a group narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā, from someone, who said: Abul Ḥasan (Imam Riďā (a.s.)) sent me some clothes that were wrapped up, in the middle of which there was some clay. I asked the person who had brought the clothes about this clay. He said, “It is the clay of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.).

He (Imam Riďā (a.s.)) does not send clothes or anything else to anyone without putting some of this clay within it and he says, ‘It is protection with the permission of Allāh.”
