3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Mahziyar from who has said the following
“I once saw abu Ja‘far, the 2nd (a.s.), in the night of Ziyarat perform Tawaf al-Nisa’. He (the Imam) performed Salat (prayer) behind Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam, then went in Zamzam, took water with his hand with the bucket which is next to al-Hajar, drank from it and poured on certain parts of his body. He (the Imam) then looked into Zamzam twice. Certain persons of our people have narrated to me that they had seen him next year doing the same way.” (Fatwa best explains the rest of the above Chapter)
3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ
رَأَيْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِيَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) لَيْلَةَ الزِّيَارَةِ طَافَ طَوَافَ النِّسَاءِ وَصَلَّى خَلْفَ الْمَقَامِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ زَمْزَمَ فَاسْتَقَى مِنْهَا بِيَدِهِ بِالدَّلْوِ الَّذِي يَلِي الْحَجَرَ وَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ وَصَبَّ عَلَى بَعْضِ جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ اطَّلَعَ فِي زَمْزَمَ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَأَخْبَرَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا أَنَّهُ رَآهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِسَنَةٍ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ.
