سَأَلَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْجَهْمِ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) لِابْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ فَقَالَ مَا تَرَى لَهُ وَ ابْنُ أَسْبَاطٍ حَاضِرٌ وَ نَحْنُ جَمِيعاً يَرْكَبُ الْبَرَّ أَوِ الْبَحْرَ إِلَى مِصْرَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِخَيْرِ طَرِيقِ الْبَرِّ فَقَالَ الْبَرُّ وَ ائْتِ الْمَسْجِدَ فِي غَيْرِ وَقْتِ صَلَاةِ الْفَرِيضَةِ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ اسْتَخِرِ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ انْظُرْ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ يَقَعُ فِي قَلْبِكَ فَاعْمَلْ بِهِ وَ قَالَ لَهُ الْحَسَنُ الْبَرُّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ لَهُ قَالَ وَ إِلَيَّ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal who said, ‘Al-Hassan Bin Al-Jahm asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> for Ibn Asbaat, so he said, ‘What is your<sup>asws</sup> view for him’, and Ibn Asbaat was present with all of us, ‘if he were to ride the land or (sail) the sea to Egypt, so inform him with the best road by land’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The land, and go over to the Masjid (of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>) in other than a time for the Obligatory <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>. So you should pray two Rak’at of <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> and leave the choice to Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, one hundred times, then look at which thing occurs in your heart, so act upon it’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘And the superiority of the land is more beloved to me<sup>asws</sup>, for him’. He said, ‘And to me’.
