3ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ كَرَّامٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَأْخُذُ الإِنْسَانُ مِنْ طِينِ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَيَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ وَيَأْخُذُ غَيْرُهُ وَلا يَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ فَقَالَ لا وَالله الَّذِي لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ مَا يَأْخُذُهُ أَحَدٌ وَهُوَ يَرَى أَنَّ الله يَنْفَعُهُ بِهِ إِلاَّ نَفَعَهُ بِهِ.

3. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from ibn Faddal from Karram from ibn abu Ya’fur who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah , ‘How is it that certain people take some soil from the gravesite of al-Husayn , and benefit thereby, but others do not benefit thereby?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, by Allah, beside whom no one deserves worship, that is not the case. If one takes such soil with belief that Allah will benefit him thereby, He will certainly benefit him thereby.’”
