عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اَلنَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« مَنْ دَخَلَ اَلْقَبْرَ فَلاَ يَخْرُجْ مِنْهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ قِبَلِ اَلرِّجْلَيْنِ».

Ali ibn Ibrahim narrated from his father, from al-Nawfali, from al-Sakuni, from Imam Ja’far Al Sadiq , from his father Imam Al Baqir : Imam said: "Whoever enters the grave should not exit from it except from the side of the feet."
