5 وَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مَتٍّ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) كَيْفَ أَضَعُ يَدِي عَلَى قُبُورِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَوَضَعَهَا عَلَيْهَا وَ هُوَ مُقَابِلُ الْقِبْلَةِ

5. Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Mat Al-Jawhari narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad, from ‘Ali ibn Ismā’īl, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Amr, from Abān (ibn ‘Uthmān), from ‘Abdil Raḥmān ibn Abī ‘Abdillāh, who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s)), “How should I place my hand on the graves of the believers?” Imam (a.s) faced the Qiblah, pointed toward the earth, and then placed his hand on it.
