in the death of Hamza, the prophet’s ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) uncle. The prophet ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) then ordered all muslim women to weep Hamzah in their memorial gatherings. Muslims [the Sah?bah] even took some of his grave soil in order to seek blessings by prostrating themselves on and making rosaries of its pebbles, as is stated in “Al-’Ard wat Turbah Al-Husainiyyah” [The land and soil of Al-Husain]. The prophet’s ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) companions - among whom were many Fuqah?’ - indeed did that’. (1)

“Al-’Ard wat Turbah Al-Husainiyyah” is one of the Sh?‘ah books which is full of forged facts and fabrications about the prophet ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) one of which is that he ( - صلى الله عليه وسلم -) was the first one to prostrate himself on a stone of the Karbul?’ land.

This T?bi‘i used to take a brick of the Mad?nah land to prostrate on when doing Sal?t in his journeys!! as is related by the eminent had?th narrator Ab? Bakr Ibn Ab? Shaibah in his “Musannaf” (vol. 2) chapter, “carrying something to prostrate on in
