2. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad and others narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Mūsā ibn ‘Umar, from Sāliḥ ibn Sindi Al-Jammāl, from someone who was from Raqqah, whose name was Abul Maďā, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) asked me, “Do you go to (the Ziyārah of) the grave of Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Ḥusain (a.s.))?” I replied, “Yes.” Imam (a.s.) asked, “Do you take different kinds of food with you?” I replied, “Yes.” Imam (a.s.) said, “Verily if you were going to the graves of your own fathers and mothers, you would not have done this.” I asked, “Then what should we eat?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Bread and milk.” Abul Maďā (the narrator) added: Kirām (‘Abdul Karīm ibn ‘Amr Al-Khath’ami) narrated that he said to Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)), “May I sacrifice myself for you! Some people who go to the Ziyārah of the grave of Ḥusain (a.s.) take tasty foods with them.” Imam (a.s.) said, “Verily if they were going to the graves of their own fathers and mothers, they would not have done this.”

3. Ḥukaym ibn Dāwūd narrated to me from Salamah ibn Khaťťāb, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad (ibn ‘Isā), from ‘Ali ibn Ḥakam, from some of our companions, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) said: I have been informed that some people go to the Ziyārah of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.) carrying different kinds of food with them, including Akhbisah and other similar deserts. Verily if they had gone to the graves of their loved ones, they would not have taken such things with them.
