شَهِدْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ هُوَ يُطَافُ بِهِ حَوْلَ الْكَعْبَةِ فِي مَحْمِلٍ وَ هُوَ شَدِيدُ الْمَرَضِ فَكَانَ كُلَّمَا بَلَغَ الرُّكْنَ الْيَمَانِيَّ أَمَرَهُمْ فَوَضَعُوهُ بِالْأَرْضِ فَأَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ مِنْ كَوَّةِ الْمَحْمِلِ حَتَّى يَجُرَّهَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ ارْفَعُونِي فَلَمَّا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مِرَاراً فِي كُلِّ شَوْطٍ قُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا يَشُقُّ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ لِيَشْهَدُوا مَنافِعَ لَهُمْ فَقُلْتُ مَنَافِعَ الدُّنْيَا أَوْ مَنَافِعَ الْآخِرَةِ فَقَالَ الْكُلَّ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Al Fyzayl, from Al Rabie Bin Khushaym who said, ‘ I witnessed Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, and he<sup>asws</sup> was being performed <span class="iTxt">Tawaaf</span> with around the Kaaba in a carriage, and he<sup>asws</sup> was extremely ill. So it was such that every time he<sup>asws</sup> reached the (Yamani) corner, he<sup>asws</sup> ordered them, so they placed him<sup>asws</sup> by the ground. Then he<sup>asws</sup> extracted his<sup>asws</sup> hand out from the opening of the carriage until he<sup>asws</sup> dragged it upon the ground, then he<sup>asws</sup> was saying: ‘Raise me<sup>asws</sup>’. So when he<sup>asws</sup> did that repeatedly during each circuit, I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>, O son<sup>asws</sup> of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! This is difficult upon you<sup>asws</sup>’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> heard Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic saying <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:22#h28"><a href="/books/quran:22#h28">[22:28]</a></a> That they may witness benefits for them</span>’. So I said, ‘Benefits of the world or benefits of the Hereafter?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘All’.
