3ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَقُولُ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) لَيَنْقَطِعُ رِكَابُهُ فِي طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ فَيَشُدُّهُ بِخُوصَةٍ لِيُهَوِّنَ الْحَجَّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ.
3. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Rib’iy ibn ‘Abd Allah who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘On his way to al-Hajj, ’Amir al-Muminin (a.s.), would mend a damaged stirrup of his transportation animal with palm tree fibers to make al-Hajj easier for him. ‘“
