مَرَّ بِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا فِي الشَّوْطِ الْخَامِسِ مِنَ الطَّوَافِ فَقَالَ لِي انْطَلِقْ حَتَّى نَعُودَ هَاهُنَا رَجُلًا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّمَا أَنَا فِي خَمْسَةِ أَشْوَاطٍ فَأُتِمُّ أُسْبُوعِي قَالَ اقْطَعْهُ وَ احْفَظْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ تَقْطَعُ حَتَّى تَعُودَ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي قَطَعْتَ مِنْهُ فَتَبْنِيَ عَلَيْهِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ali Bin Abdul Aziz, from Abu Azza who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> passed by me, and I was in the fifth circuit from the <span class="iTxt">Tawaaf</span>’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Go, until we bid farewell to a man over there’. So I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘But rather, I am in the fifth circuit, so I should complete by seven’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Cut it, and memorise it from where you have cut until you return to the place which you cut if off from, and build upon it’.
