217 / 1 - حدثنا الشيخ الجليل أبو جعفر محمد بن علي بن الحسين بن موسى ابن بابويه القمي (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا أبي (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي، عن أبيه محمد بن خالد، عن أبي البختري وهب ابن وهب، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن آبائه (عليهم السلام). عن أم سلمة (رضي الله عنها)، أنها أصبحت يوما تبكي، فقيل لها: مالك؟ فقالت: لقد قتل ابني الحسين (عليه السلام)، وما رأيت رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) منذ مات إلا الليلة، فقلت: بأبي أنت وأمي، ما لي أراك شاحبا! فقال: لم أزل منذ الليلة أحفر قبر الحسين وقبور أصحابه (1).

The venerable Shaykh Abu Ja`far Muhammad b. `Ali b. al-Husayn b. Musa b. Babuwayh al-Qummi narrated to us. He said: My father narrated to us. He said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us. He said: Ahmad b. Abu `Abdillah al-Barqi narrated to us from his father Muhammad b. Khalid from Abu’l Bakhtari Wahab b. Wahab from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad from his father from his forefathers from Umm Salama (ra): that she started crying one day. So, she was asked: What’s the matter with you? She said: My son, al-Husayn has been killed and I haven’t seen the Messenger of Allah (s) since he died save this night. So, I said: May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you! Why is it that I see you so looking so haggard and pale? He said: I have been digging the grave of al-Husayn and the graves of his companions since this night.
