There was an elderly Egyptian man who filled his pockets with sand which he had collected from the Baqee' graveyard. A student of knowledge informed him that this is not permissible, that this is a graveyard, etc. He said my wife is ill and I'm looking for a cure for her, and this sand here is blessed. Seeing as explaining the impermissiblity of this act based on textual evidences was meaningless, the student told him: do you know that the heads of the hypocrites, like 'Abdullah ibn Abi Salool, were also buried here? So perhaps the sand you've collected is from their remains! Upon this he poured the sand out of his pockets and quickly washed his hands.
