Original Arabic text

15ـ سَهْلٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ كَانَ عَلَى قَبْرِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ابْنِ رَسُولِ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) عَذْقٌ يُظِلُّهُ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ يَدُورُ حَيْثُ دَارَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَلَمَّا يَبِسَ الْعَذْقُ دَرَسَ الْقَبْرُ فَلَمْ يُعْلَمْ مَكَانُهُ.

Published English translation

15. Sahl has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman from ‘Amir ibn ‘Abd Allah who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘On the gravesite of Ibrahim, son of the Messenger of Allah, there was a palm tree that provided shadow and it would turn as the sun moved to provide shadow for the site but when it dried up, the gravesite became old and indistinguishable.’”
