كُنْتُ أَسِيرُ مَعَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي بَعْضِ أَطْرَافِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِذْ ثَنَى رِجْلَهُ عَنْ دَابَّتِهِ فَخَرَّ سَاجِداً فَأَطَالَ وَ أَطَالَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَ رَكِبَ دَابَّتَهُ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَدْ أَطَلْتَ السُّجُودَ فَقَالَ إِنَّنِي ذَكَرْتُ نِعْمَةً أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيَّ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ رَبِّي .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ali Bin Atiyya, from Hisham Bin Ahmar who said, ‘I was travelling along with Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> in one of the outskirts of Al-Medina when he<sup>asws</sup> joined his<sup>asws</sup> legs from his animal and he<sup>asws</sup> fell into <span class="iTxt">Sajadah</span> (prostration). So he<sup>asws</sup> prolonged, and I prolonged. Then he<sup>asws</sup> raised his<sup>asws</sup> head and rode his<sup>asws</sup> animal. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! You<sup>asws</sup> had prolonged the <span class="iTxt">Sajadah</span>’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> remembered a Bounty of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> He<sup>azwj</sup> had Favoured upon me with, so I<sup>asws</sup> loved that I<sup>asws</sup> should thank my<sup>asws</sup> Lord<sup>azwj</sup>’.
