Al-Kafi 7908

Translation

Abu Ali Al Ash’ary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj who said, ‘There was a birth for Abu Al Hassan^asws in Mina, so he^asws sent across to us, on the day of the sacrifice, porridge wherein was saffron, and we had shaved off (our heads). Abdul Rahman said, ‘So I ate, but Al-Kahily and Murazam both refused to eat and said, ‘We have yet to visit the House (Kabah)’. So Abu Al Hassan^asws heard of our speech, and he^asws said to Musadif, and he was the messenger who had come to us with it: ‘Regarding which thing were they speaking?’ He said, ‘Abdul Rahman ate, and the others refused, and they both said, ‘We have not visited the House (Kabah) yet’. So he^asws said: ‘Abdul Rahman is right’. Then he^asws said: ‘But, does he not remember that they came to us^asws with it in a day similar to this, so I^asws ate from it, and Abdullah, my^asws brother, refused to eat from it. So when my^asws father^asws came over, he provoked him^asws against me^asws saying, ‘O father^asws! Musa^asws ate the porridge wherein was saffron, and has not visited the House (Kabah)’. So my^asws father^asws said: ‘He^asws is of a more understanding than you are. Is it not so that you have shaved off your heads?’
