سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ مَشْيِ الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) مِنْ مَكَّةَ أَوْ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ إِذَا زُرْتُ الْبَيْتَ أَرْكَبُ أَوْ أَمْشِي فَقَالَ كَانَ الْحَسَنُ ( عليه السلام ) يَزُورُ رَاكِباً وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرُّكُوبُ أَفْضَلُ أَوِ الْمَشْيُ فَقَالَ الرُّكُوبُ قُلْتُ الرُّكُوبُ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْمَشْيِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) رَكِبَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Rafa’at who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the walking of Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> (was it) from Makkah or from Al-Medina. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘From Makkah’. And I asked him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘When I visit the House (Kabah), should I ride or walk?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> used to visit riding’. And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the riding, whether it is superior, or the walking?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The riding’. I said, ‘The riding is superior than walking?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, because Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> rode’.
