قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَا سَيِّدِي إِنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ أَصُومَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ تَصُومُ بِهَا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ قُلْتُ وَ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ خُرُوجُنَا فِي عَشْرٍ مِنْ شَوَّالٍ وَ قَدْ عَوَّدَ اللَّهُ زِيَارَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ زِيَارَتَكَ فَرُبَّمَا حَجَجْتُ عَنْ أَبِيكَ وَ رُبَّمَا حَجَجْتُ عَنْ أَبِي وَ رُبَّمَا حَجَجْتُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ مِنْ إِخْوَانِي وَ رُبَّمَا حَجَجْتُ عَنْ نَفْسِي فَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعْ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي مُقِيمٌ بِمَكَّةَ مُنْذُ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعْ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Musa Bin Al Qasim Al Bajaly who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘O my Master<sup>asws</sup>! I hope to be Fasting in Al-Medina in a month of Ramazan’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You will Fast in it, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Willing’. I said, ‘And I am hoping that our exit takes place in the 10<sup>th</sup> of Shawwal, and I would have visited Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, and the People<sup>asws</sup> of his<sup>saww</sup> Household, and visited you<sup>asws</sup>. So, sometimes I perform Hajj on behalf of your<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup>, and sometimes I perform Hajj on behalf of my father, and sometimes I perform Hajj on behalf of the man from my brethren, and sometimes I perform Hajj for myself. So how should I be doing it?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘<span class="iTxt">Tamatto</span>’. So I said, ‘I am staying in Makkah since the last ten years’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘<span class="iTxt">Tamatto</span>’.
