Hadith record

Hadith.5173 - In the narration of Ibrahim ibn Abi Al-Bilad from someone who mentioned it from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), that he said: "During the time of the Commander of the Faithful (as), there was a truthful woman known as Umm Fattan. A man from the companions of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) came to her and greeted her, finding her distressed. He asked her: 'Why do I see you worried?' She replied: 'A female servant of mine passed away, and I buried her, but the earth rejected her twice.' The man went to the Commander of the Faithful (as) and informed him of this. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: 'Indeed, the earth accepts the Jew and the Christian, so why would it reject her unless she was being punished by Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic?' Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) then said: 'If soil from the grave of a Muslim man were taken and scattered over her grave, the earth would settle.'" The man returned to Umm Fattan and informed her of this. She took soil from the grave of a Muslim man and scattered it over her servant's grave, and the earth accepted her. When he inquired about the servant's deeds, it was said: 'She had an intense love for men, and whenever she gave birth, she would throw her child into the oven.'"
