5 - Abū al-Ṭufayl said: "The angel of rain sought permission to greet the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam)..." I said: He mentioned it similar to the previous ḥadīth of Anas. Al-Haythamī said (9/190): "It was narrated by al-Ṭabarānī and its isnād is good." 6 - Ḥajjāj ibn Naṣīr narrates: Qurrāh ibn Khālid told us, ʿĀmir ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid narrated from Abū al-Ḍuḥā from Ibn ʿAbbās (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) who said: "We never doubted, while the members of the household were numerous, that al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī would be killed at (al-Ṭaff)." It was recorded by al-Ḥākim (3/179) and he remained silent about it, and al-Dhahabī critiqued it by saying: "I said: Ḥajjāj is abandoned." I said: In summary, the aforementioned ḥadīth and its subject are authentic when considering all these chains, even though each individual chain may have some weakness, but it is slight, especially since some have been deemed good by al-Haythamī, and Allāh knows best. (Note) The ḥadīths of ʿĀʾishah and ʿAlī were attributed by al-Suyūṭī (Fatḥ 1/55 and 56) to Ibn Saʿd in "al-Ṭabaqāt," but I did not find them there, so perhaps they are in the section that has not been printed, and Allāh knows best. Benefit: None of these ḥadīths indicate the sanctity of Karbalāʾ or the virtue of prostrating on its soil or the recommendation to make a disc from it to prostrate on during prayer as the Shīʿah do today. If that were recommended, it would be more fitting to take from the soil of the two noble mosques in Mecca and Medina. However, it is among the innovations of the Shīʿah and their exaggeration in venerating the family of the Prophet and their relics. Among their oddities is that they consider reason as a source of legislation for them, and thus they speak of rational good and evil, yet they narrate in the virtue of prostrating on the soil of Karbalāʾ ḥadīths that sound reason testifies to their falsehood evidently. I came across a treatise by one of them, the so-called Sayyid ʿAbd al-Riḍā (!) al-Marʿashī al-Shahristānī, titled "Prostration on the Ḥusaynī Soil." Among what is mentioned in it (p. 15): "It is reported that prostrating on it is better due to its honor, sanctity, and the purity of those buried in it."
