Al-Kafi 6900

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Umar Bin Hafs, from Saeed Bin Yasar who said, ‘Abu Abdullah^asws, said during an evening from the evenings, when we were in Mina, and he^asws was encouraging me upon the Hajj and making me desirous with regards to it: ‘O Saeed! Whichever servant is Graced by Allah^azwj with sustenance from His^azwj Sustenances, so he takes that sustenance and spends it upon himself and upon his dependents. Then he takes them out, having exposed them to the sun until he proceeds with them to an evening of Arafat, to the Pausing Stop. Do you see relief to be over there in a vacant spot, and there is no one in it?’ So I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you^asws’. So he^asws said: ‘He comes with them, having exposed them (to the sun) until he fills with them that relief, so Allah^azwj Blessed and High, there being no associates for Him^azwj, would be Saying: “My^azwj servant, I^azwj Graced him from My^azwj Sustenance, so he took that sustenance and spent it, exposing himself and his dependents by it (to the hot sun), then he came over with them until he filled with them this relief, seeking My^azwj Forgiveness. I^azwj hereby Forgive his sins for him, and Suffice him for whatever worries him, and Sustain him’. Saeed (the narrator) said, ‘Along with the things which he^asws said, there were approximately ten’.
