Hadith 1496
۞
3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Safwan ibn Yahya from Sayf al- Tammar who has said the following
“I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), that I arrived near the Black Stone and found people crowded. I did not find anyone of our people except one man. I asked him and he said that it is necessary to touch the Black Stone. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, if you find it free of the crowd; otherwise, salute it from a distant place.’”
3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ سَيْفٍ التَّمَّارِ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَتَيْتُ الْحَجَرَ الأَسْوَدَ فَوَجَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ زِحَاماً فَلَمْ أَلْقَ إِلاَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ لا بُدَّ مِنِ اسْتِلامِهِ فَقَالَ إِنْ وَجَدْتَهُ خَالِياً وَإِلاَّ فَسَلِّمْ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ.
