Al-Kafi 5715

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Abu Dawood, from Abdullah Bin Aban who said, ‘We went over to Abu Abdullah^asws, so he^asws asked us: ‘Is there anyone among you who has knowledge with him of my^asws uncle Ziyad Bin Ali?’ So a man from the group said, ‘I do. With me is knowledge from the knowledge of your^asws uncle. We were with him one night by the door of Muawiya Bin Is’haq Al-Ansary when he said, ‘Come with me so that we pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in Masjid Al-Sahla’. So Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘And did he?’ So he said, ‘No. A matter came up, so it pre-occupied him from the going’. So he^asws said: ‘But, by Allah^azwj! Had he sought refuge with Allah^azwj with it for a year, He^azwj would have Sheltered him. But, do you not know that it is the place of the house of Idrees^as the Prophet^as, and in which he^as used to sew? And from it did Ibrahim^as go to Al-Yemen with Al-Amaaliqa, and from it did Dawood^as go against Goliath; and that in it is the green stone in which is a resemblance of every Prophet^as; and it is from beneath that very stone the clay of every Prophet^as was taken, and it is a disembarkation of the rider’. It was said, ‘And who is the rider?’ He^asws said: ‘Al-Khizr^as’.
