رَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جُنْدَبٍ فِي الْمَوْقِفِ فَلَمْ أَرَ مَوْقِفاً كَانَ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ مَوْقِفِهِ مَا زَالَ مَادّاً يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ دُمُوعُهُ تَسِيلُ عَلَى خَدَّيْهِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ الْأَرْضَ فَلَمَّا صَدَرَ النَّاسُ قُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَا رَأَيْتُ مَوْقِفاً قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ مَوْقِفِكَ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا دَعَوْتُ إِلَّا لِإِخْوَانِي وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ مَنْ دَعَا لِأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ نُودِيَ مِنَ الْعَرْشِ وَ لَكَ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ ضِعْفٍ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَدَعَ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ مَضْمُونَةٍ لِوَاحِدَةٍ لَا أَدْرِي تُسْتَجَابُ أَمْ لَا .
Translation
Ali, from his father who said, ‘I saw Abdullah Bin Jundab in the pausing stop (at Arafaat during Hajj), so I had not seen a pausing which was better than his pausing. He did not cease extending his hands towards the sky, and his tears were flowing upon his cheeks to the extent that they reached the ground. So when the people dispersed, I said to him, ‘O Abu Muhammad! I have not see such a pausing better than your pausing at all’. He said, ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I did not supplicate except for my brethren, and that is because Abu Al-Hassan Musa<sup>asws</sup> informed me that the one who supplicates for his brother in his absence, a Call would come from the Throne: “And for you is the like of a hundred thousand multiple”. Therefore, I disliked that I should leave the guaranteed one hundred thousand for the sake of one which I do not know whether it would be Answered or not’.
