The Sufficient (Vol 4) · Hadith 2185 (#Ḥadīth #4)

4ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله قَالَ إِنَّ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) لَتُرْبَةً حَمْرَاءَ فِيهَا شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلاَّ السَّامَ قَالَ فَأَتَيْنَا الْقَبْرَ بَعْدَ مَا سَمِعْنَا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَاحْتَفَرْنَا عِنْدَ رَأْسِ الْقَبْرِ فَلَمَّا حَفَرْنَا قَدْرَ ذِرَاعٍ ابْتَدَرَتْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ رَأْسِ الْقَبْرِ مِثْلُ السِّهْلَةِ حَمْرَاءَ قَدْرَ الدِّرْهَمِ فَحَمَلْنَاهَا إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ فَمَزَجْنَاهُ وَأَقْبَلْنَا نُعْطِي النَّاسَ يَتَدَاوَوْنَ بِهَا.

4. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Al-Husayn ibn Ali from Yunus ibn al-Rabi’ who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that near the head of al-Husayn , there is red soil. It is cure for all kinds of illnesses except al-Sam. He (the narrator) has said, ‘We then went to the grave after hearing this Hadith. We dug near the head about a yard from the head of the grave and some red sand appeared. It was of the size of a dirham. We took it to al-Kufa and mixed it with other soil. We would give to people who used it as curing medicine.’”
