And through this chain of narrators, from Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from Abu ‘Ali al-Ash‘ari, from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar, from ‘Abdullah al-Hajjal, from Tha‘labah ibn Maymun, from Zurarah: He said: I asked Abu ‘Abdullah عليه السلام about how many people should enter the grave. Imam عليه السلام said: "That is up to the guardian (Wali). If he wishes, he may have an odd number of people enter, and if he wishes, he may have an even number enter."
