Al-Kafi 6893

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shaan, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘Two men from the Helpers and one man from Saqeef came over to the Prophet^saww, so the Saqifite said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! I need your^saww help’. So he^saww said: ‘Your brother, the Helper, preceded you’. So he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! I am upon the back of a journey and I am in a hurry’. And the Helper said, ‘I have permitted him (to be first)’. So he^saww said: ‘If you like, you can ask me^saww, and if you like I^saww can tell you’. So he said, ‘Clarify it for me, O Rasool-Allah^saww!’. So he^saww said: ‘You came to ask me^asws about the Prayer, and about the ablution, and about the Prostrations’. So the man said, ‘Yes, by the One^azwj Who Sent you^saww with the Truth’. So he^saww said: ‘Perfect the ablution and fill your hands from your two knees, and spray your forehead in the dust, and Pray a farewell Prayer’. And the Helper said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! My need’. So he^saww said: ‘If you like, you can ask me^saww, and if you like I^saww can tell you’. So he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! Clarify to me’. He^as said: ‘You came to ask me^asws about the Hajj, and about the circumambulation with the House (Kabah), and the Sa’ee between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa, and pelting of the rocks, and shaving of the head, and the day of Arafat’. So the man said, ‘Yes, by the One^azwj Whom Sent you^saww with the Truth’. He^saww said: ‘Your she-camel will not raise a foot except that Allah^azwj would Write a good deed for you, due to it, nor would it place a foot except a sin would be deleted from you, due to it. And circumambulating with the House (Kabah), and performing Sa’ee between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa, would cleanse you from the sins to be just as you were when your mother gave brith to you; and pelting of the rocks would be a hoard of treasure on the Day of Judgement; and shaving of the head, there would be for you, for each hair of yours (shaved off), a Light on the Day of Judgement; and the day of Arafat is a day Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Boasts with to the Angels. So if you were to be present on that day with sins (of the number of) the grains of sand, and drops of the sky (rain), and days of the year, it would be Forgiven on that day’. And in another Hadeeth of his^asws, (he^asws said): ‘With each step he steps towards it, a good deed would be Written for him and a sin would be deleted from him, and a Level would be raised for him’.
