Al-Kafi 6850

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Naar Bin Suweyd, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘The Hajj was mentioned to Rasool-Allah^saww, so he^saww to the ones to whom his^saww letter reached, from the ones who had entered into Al-Islam, that Rasool-Allah^saww intended the Hajj, proclaiming with that, the one who can bear the Hajj should perform the Hajj. So the people came over. So when he^saww encamped at Al-Shajara, he^saww ordered the people with the plucking of the armpit (hairs), and shaving the pubic (hair), and the bathing, and the stripping off their trousers and wearing of a cloak, or a loin cloth and a turban, placing it upon his shoulders for the one who does not happen to have a cloak for him. And he^asws mentioned that when he^saww exclaimed Talbiyya, said, ‘Here I^saww am O Allah^azwj! Here I^saww am! Here I^saww am! There is no associate for You^azwj! Here I^saww am! The Praise, and the Bounties are for You^azwj, and the Kingdom! There is no associate for You^azwj!’ And Rasool-Allah^saww would frequent in saying: ‘O the One with the Loftiness!’ And he^saww would exclaim Talbiyya every time he^saww met a rider, or ascend a high ground or go down a valley, and at the end of the night, and after the Prayers. So when he^saww entered Makkah, he^saww entered from its high ground, from Al-Aqaba, and when he^saww went out, went from Zi-Tuwwa (a low ground). So when he^saww ended up to the door of the (Sacred) Masjid, faced the Kabah’. And Ibn Sinan (the narrator) mentioned that it is (now where) the door of the Clan of Shayba is. So he^saww Praised Allah^azwj and Extolled upon Him^azwj, and sent Blessings upon his^saww father^as Ibrahim^as. Then he^saww went over to the (Black) Stone. So when he^saww circumambulated with the House (Kabah), Prayed two Cycles behind the Standing Place of Ibrahim^as. And he^azwj entered Zamzam, so he^saww drank from it, then said: ‘O Allah^azwj! I^saww ask You^azwj for beneficial knowledge, and extensive sustenance, and a healing from every disease and sickness’. So he^saww went on saying that, and he^saww was facing the Kabah. Then he^saww said to his^saww companions: ‘Let the last of your promised with the Kabah be the submission to the Black) Stone, therefore submit to it’. Then he^saww went out to Al-Safa, then said: ‘I^saww begin with what Allah^azwj Began with’. Then he^saww ascended upon Al-Safa. So he^saww stayed upon it of a measurement of what it takes the human being to recite Surah Al-Baqarah’.
