Al-Kafi 6765

Translation

Muhammad Bin Aqeel Bin Al Hassan Bin Al Husayn, from Ali Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hassan, from Muhammad Bin Yazeed Al Rafa’iy, (It has been narrated) raising it that Amir Al-Momineen^asws was asked about the pausing by the mountain, how come it did not happen to be in ‘الْحَرَمِ’ the Sanctuary? So he^asws said: ‘Because the Kabah is His^azwj House and the الْحَرَمِ is its door. So when the delegations come over, He^azwj Pauses them by the door, supplicating’. It was said to him^asws, ‘So why have the Signs of ‘الْحَرَمِ’ (Al-Harram) the Sanctuary) come to be inside the Al-Harram?’ He^asws said: ‘Because when Permission was Granted to them with the entry, they were Paused by the second Veil. So when their supplication were prolonged at it, Permission was Granted to them with the offering of the sacrifice. So when they fulfilled their rituals, they were purified by it from the sins which were an obstacle between them and Him^azwj, He^azwj Permitted them with the visitation upon the purity’. It was said to him^asws, ‘So why are the Fasts Prohibited during the days of Al-Tashreek (11^th, 12^th, and 13^th of Zilhajj)?’ He^asws said: ‘Because the people are visitors of Allah^azwj, and they are among His^azwj guests, and it is not Commendable for the Host that He^azwj would Make His^azwj guests to Fast’. It was said to him^asws, ‘So the attachment with the curtains of the Kabah, for which meaning is it?’ He^asws said: ‘Like a man who has a felony with another and a sin, so he hangs on to his clothes, beseeching to him, and humbling himself to him that he would overlook from his sins’.
