Late Haji Mu’min, from whom stories 33 to 43 were narrated, states:

Once a respected lady, who never missed the Friday Prayers led by Late Aga Sayyid Hashim in Masjid Sardzak, informed me:

I managed to procure genuine clay of Imam Husayn's grave, the size of a gram and placed it in my shroud. Every year, on Ashura Day, it becomes red like blood and its wetness is transferred to the shroud. After that it dries up.

Late Hajj Mu’min said: I said: I would like to visit your place on Ashura Day and see it. So I reached her place on the appointed day and she brought the bundle of her shroud. When she untied it, I saw a spot of blood and then saw the clay as well. It was wet and blood smeared as she had described. Moreover, it was trembling.

Seeing this scene and imagining the calamity of Imam Husayn (‘a) I swooned in grief.

A similar incident is narrated from Abd ul-Husayn Kwansari in Dar us-Salam of Iraqi. Aga Sayyid Mahdi, son of Aga Sayyid Ali author of Sharh Kabir, fell ill. He sent two prominent and just scholars Shaykh Muhammad Husayn Sahab Fusul and Hajj Mulla Ja 'far Astarabadi to perform the ritual bath and wear Ihram dress and enter the cellar of holy grave and from there bring out the clay of the holy grave of Imam Husayn ('a) in the prescribed manner. And both of them should testify that it is genuine, so that the Sayyid may eat from it to the extent equal to a gram.

Thus, the two gentlemen went there according to the directions and picked up some clay from the holy grave and came out. They also gave some of it to sincere persons, including a herb seller. When I went to visit him in his terminal illness, he gave it to me fearing that it might reach into wrong hands. I brought it and placed it in the shroud of my mother.

By chance, I glanced at the bundle of that shroud on Ashura Day and felt some wetness in it. When I picked it up, I saw pieces of clay in a purse and the clay was damp and its wetness was transferred to the shroud. I replaced it and checked it again on eleventh Muharram and found it dry, although its color was transferred to the shroud. Thus, I concluded that wherever the clay of the holy grave is kept, it becomes blood smeared on Ashura Day.

According to reliable persons m India there are rosaries with beads of the dust of Imam Husayn's ('a) grave and Maulana Sayyid Muhammad Shakir Amrohi, Principal of Jamia Nazimiya, Lucknow told me that Sayyid Ghazanfar Ali Sahab, chief of Guzri locality, Amroha, Moradabad owned such a rosary and it is presently in the possession of his sons: Sayyid Muhammad Baqir and Sayyid Muhajir Husayn. On Ashura Day the redness increases with increase in mourning and one bead remains red on other days as well.

According to Sayyid Muhammad Raahim Zaidpuri, former lecturer, Mahatma Gandhi Inter College, Malihabad, District Lucknow, Chaowdhrana, Malihabad: Wife of Aarif ul-Malik has a rosary whose beads turn red on Ashura Day and Dr. Wali ul-Haqq Ansari Firangi Mahali, former dean of Department of Persian, Lucknow University reported that Maulana Jalaluddin Abd ul-Mateen Firangi Mahali has some beads of the rosary, which turn red on Ashura Day and he has seen this miracle directly.
