Hadith #97

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلْوَالِدُ لاَ يَنْزِلُ فِي قَبْرِ وَلَدِهِ وَ اَلْوَلَدُ يَنْزِلُ فِي قَبْرِ وَالِدِهِ».

Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id narrated from Fadalah, from Aban ibn ‘Uthman, from ‘Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid, from Abu ‘Abdullah : Imam said: "The father should not descend into the grave of his child, but the child may descend into the grave of his father."
