Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Salma ibn al-Khattab from ‘Abdallah ibn Muhammad from ‘Abdallah ibn al-Qasim from ‘Isa Shalqan who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) say, ‘Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) had maternal nephews in tribe of descendant of Makhzum and a young man from them came to him (Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) and said, “Uncle, my brother has died and I am very sad because of his death.” The narrator has said that he asked him, “Do you want to see him?” He said, “Yes, I want to see him.” He said, “show me his grave.” The narrator has said that he (Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) came out with him with the gown of the Messenger of Allah on him and when he reached the grave he moved his lips and knocked his grave with his foot and he came of his grave speaking in Persian language. Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) asked, “Did you not die as a Arab man?” He said, "Yes, but we died on the tradition of so and so son of so and so then our language changed.”
