Hadith 2143
۞
3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from abu Hashim al-Ja’fariy who has said the following
“Once, abu al-Hassan (a.s.), during his illness, called me and Muhammad ibn Hamzah. Muhammad ibn Hamzah went to him before me. Muhammad told me that he (the Imam) still says, ‘You must send someone to al-Hayr (shrine of Imam al-Husayn) to pray there so I get well soon.’ I then asked Muhammad, ‘Did you not tell him (the Imam) that I am going to al-Hayr?’ I then went to the Imam and said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I am going to al-Hayr.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘You must consider it properly.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Muhammad does not possess the secret (belief in the divine authority of Imam) from Zayd ibn Ali, (his father) and I do not like that he hears this.’ He (the narrator) has said that he mentioned this to Ali ibn Bilal. He said, ‘What does he (Imam) want from al-Hayr (shrine of Imam al-Hassan)? He himself is al-Hayr.’ I then went to the army camp near his home. He (the Imam) said, ‘Sit down’, when I wanted to stand up to leave. When I found that he was comfortable with me, I then mentioned to him the words of Ali ibn Bilal. He (the Imam) said to me, ‘Why did you not tell him that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, would perform Tawaf around the House and kiss the Black Stone? The greatness of the prophet and believers is greater than the greatness of the House. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, commanded him to stay in ‘Arafah. Allah loves wherein He loves to be spoken of. I love that prayer is made for me before Allah wherein Allah loves prayers that are made before Him.’ He (the narrator) has said that he mentioned certain things from the Imam that I did not save from him. He (the Imam) said, ‘These are places wherein Allah loves that He is worshipped. I thus love that prayers be made for me wherein Allah loves to be worshipped. Why did you not say so and so to him.’ He, abu Hashim has said that I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause. Could I do as good as this (what you said), I would not bring the matter before you.’ These are the words of abu Hashim, not the words of Imam.”
3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ
