31ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ خَرَجَ نَهْيٌ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ مَقَابِرِ قُرَيْشٍ وَالْحَيْرِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ أَشْهُرٍ دَعَا الْوَزِيرُ الْبَاقَطَائِيَّ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْقَ بَنِي الْفُرَاتِ وَالْبُرْسِيِّينَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ لا يَزُورُوا مَقَابِرَ قُرَيْشٍ فَقَدْ أَمَرَ الْخَلِيفَةُ أَنْ يُتَفَقَّدَ كُلُّ مَنْ زَارَ فَيُقْبَضَ عَلَيْهِ.

31. Ali ibn Muhammad has said the following. “A prohibition to visit the Quryash cemetery and al-Hira (Karbala) came out of the holy location (office of Imam al-Mahdi (a.s.). After a few months the Vizier (abu al-Fath Ja‘far ibn Furat) summoned al-Baqtia, and said to him, “Meet the clan of bnu Furat and al-Bursiyin and tell them not to visit Quraysh cemetery because the Caliph has decide to see all those who would visit these places be arrested.”
