Hadith 69-3

حَدَّثَنا أَبُو نَصْرٍ أَحمَد بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الضَّبِّيُّ وَمَا لَقِيتُ أَنْصَبَ مِنْهُ وَبَلَغَ مِنْ نَصْبِهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد فَرْداً وَامْتَنَعَ مِنَ الصَّلاةِ عَلَى آلِهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الْحَمَّامِيَّ الْفَرَّاءَ فِي سِكَّةِ حَرْبٍ بِنَيْسَابُورَ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْحَدِيثِ يَقُولُ أَوْدَعَنِي بَعْضُ النَّاسِ وَدِيعَةً فَدَفَنْتُهَا وَنَسِيتُ مَوْضِعَهَا فَلَمَّا أَتَى عَلَى ذَلِكَ مُدَّةٌ جَاءَنِي صَاحِبُ الْوَدِيعَةِ يُطَالِبُنِي بِهَا فَلَمْ أَعْرِفْ مَوْضِعَهَا وَتَحَيَّرْتُ وَاتَّهَمَنِي صَاحِبُ الْوَدِيعَةِ فَخَرَجْتُ مِنْ بَيْتِي مَغْمُوماً مُتَحَيِّراً وَرَأَيْتُ جَمَاعَةً مِنَ النَّاسِ يَتَوَجَّهُونَ إِلَى مَشْهَدِ الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَشْهَدِ وَزُرْتُ وَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُبَيِّنَ لِي مَوْضِعَ الْوَدِيعَةِ فَرَأَيْتُ هُنَاكَ فِيَما يَرَى النَّائِمُ كَأَنْ آتٍ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ لِي دَفَنْتَ الْوَدِيعَةَ فِي مَوْضِعِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى صَاحِبِ الْوَدِيعَةِ فَأَرْشَدْتُهُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ فِي الْمَنَامِ وَأَنَا غَيْرُ مُصَدِّقٍ بِمَا رَأَيْتُ فَقَصَدَ صَاحِبُ الْوَدِيعَةِ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانَ فَحَفَرَهُ وَاسْتَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ الْوَدِيعَةَ بِخَتْمِ صَاحِبِهَا فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَيَحُثُّهُمْ عَلَى زِيَارَةِ هَذَا الْمَشْهَدِ عَلَى سَاكَنِهِ التَّحِيَّةُ وَالسَّلامُ.

Abu Nasr Ahmad ibn Al-Husayn al-Dhabbi was a Nasibite [1] . He was extremely biased and I had never met anyone more biased than him before. He used to say, “O God! Blessings be upon Muhammad (a.s.) alone.” He refused to send blessings upon the Members of the Prophet’s Holy Household. He narrated that he had heard from Aba Bakr al-Hammamy al-Farra’ - one of the tradition narrators - in a place called Sekkat el-Harb in Neishaboor in Khorasasn - the following, “Someone had entrusted me with some property which I buried in the ground. Later on, I forgot where I had buried that property. I was confused and did not know what to do. The property’s owner accused me of having stolen it. Then I left my house in grief wondering what to do. I saw a group of people who were traveling towards the Shrine of Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.). Then I went to Mashhad along with them, and prayed to God the Honorable the Exalted to help me remember where I had buried what was entrusted to my care. Then when I was there I had a dream. I saw someone come and tell me, “You buried what you were entrusted with in such and such a location.” Then I returned to the property owner and directed him towards the location I had seen in my dream, while I did not myself believe in what I had dreamt. Then the property owner set out for that location, dug up the ground, and found his property still sealed up as he had done so when he had given it to me. From then on, the owner of the property used to express this experience to the people and encourage them to visit the Shrine in Mashhad - may greetings and peace be upon its resident (Imam Ridha’).
