Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad and others narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Mūsā ibn ‘Umar, from Sāliḥ ibn Sindi Al-Jammāl, from someone who was from Raqqah, whose name was Abul Maďā, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) asked me, “Do you go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain (a.s.))?” I replied, “Yes.” Imam (a.s.) asked, “Do you take different kinds of food with you?” I replied, “Yes.” Imam (a.s.) said, “Verily if you were going to the graves of your own fathers and mothers, you would not have done this.” I asked, “Then what should we eat?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Bread and milk.” Abul Maďā (the narrator) added: Kirām (‘Abdul Karīm ibn ‘Amr Al-Khath’ami) narrated that he said to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)), “May I sacrifice myself for you! Some people who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) take tasty foods with them.” Imam (a.s.) said, “Verily if they were going to the graves of their own fathers and mothers, they would not have done this.”
