كَانَ بِمَكَّةَ رَجُلٌ مَوْلًى لِبَنِي أُمَيَّةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ لَهُ عِنَادَةٌ وَ كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَوْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَشْيَاخِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( عليهم السلام ) يَعْبَثُ بِهِ وَ إِنَّهُ أَتَى أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ هُوَ فِي الطَّوَافِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي اسْتِلَامِ الْحَجَرِ فَقَالَ اسْتَلَمَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا أَرَاكَ اسْتَلَمْتَهُ قَالَ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُوذِيَ ضَعِيفاً أَوْ أَتَأَذَّى قَالَ فَقَالَ قَدْ زَعَمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) اسْتَلَمَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ لَكِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا رَأَوْهُ عَرَفُوا لَهُ حَقَّهُ وَ أَنَا فَلَا يَعْرِفُونَ لِي حَقِّي .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, or someone else from Mhammad Bin Usman who said, ‘There was a man in Makkah who was a slave of the Clan of Umayya called Ibn Abu Awana who had obstinacy for him, and whenever Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> or any one from the Sheykhs<sup>as</sup> of the Progeny<sup>asws</sup> of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> entered Makkah, he would abuse them<sup>as</sup>. And he came to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> while he<sup>asws</sup> was in the <span class="iTxt">Tawaaf</span>, and he said, ‘O Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>! What are you<sup>asws</sup> saying regarding touching the (Black) Stone?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> touched it’. So he said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I did not see you<sup>asws</sup> touching it’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> disliked that I<sup>asws</sup> should hurt the weak ones or be hurt (due to congestion)’. So he said, ‘But you<sup>asws</sup> have claimed that Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> touched it’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, but it was so that whenever Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> was seen, they recognised his<sup>saww</sup> right for him<sup>saww</sup> (and made way for him<sup>saww</sup>), and as for me<sup>asws</sup>, they are not recognising my<sup>asws</sup> right for me<sup>asws</sup>’.
