Translation

Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Aasimy, from Ali Bin Al Husayn Al Sulmy, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Balaad or Abullah Bin Jundab who said, ‘I was in the Pausing Station, so when I departed I met Ibrahim Bin Shuayb. So I greeted to him, and he was blinded by one of his eyes, and his other healthy eye was red, as if blood had been thrown at it. So I said to him, ‘You are blinded with one of your eyes, and I, by Allah^azwj, am scared upon the other one. If only you would reduce from the wailing by a little?’ So he said, ‘By Allah^azwj, O Abu Muhammad! I did not supplicate for myself today with a (single) supplication’. So I said, ‘So for whom did you supplicate?’ He said, ‘I supplicated for my brethren because I heard Abu Abdullah^asws saying: ‘The one who supplicates for his brother in his absence, Allah^azwj would Allocate and Angel with him saying: ‘And for you is the like of it’. Therefore, I wanted to, rather be supplicating for my brethren, and the Angel would become supplicating for me, because I am in doubt from my own supplication for myself, and I am not in doubt from the supplication of the Angel for me’.
