Al-Kafi 8002

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Kufy, from Ali Bin Mahziyar who said, ‘I saw Abu Ja’far^asws the 2^nd in the year two hundred and twenty five, bidding farewell to the House (Kabah) after the rising of the sun, and performing <span class="iTxt">Tawaaf</span> of the House Kabah, touching Al-Yamani corner during each circuit. So when it was the seventh circuit, he^asws touched it and touched the (Black) Stone, and wiped it with his^asws hand, then wiped his^asws face with his^asws hand. Then he^asws went to the Standing Place (of Ibrahim^as), so he performed <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> behind it, by two Cycles. Then he^asws went out to the back of the Kabah, to Al-Multazam, so he^asws adhered to the House, and uncovered the cloth from his^asws belly, then paused upon it for a long time, supplicating. Then he^asws went out from the door of Al-Hannatayn and faced it. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I (also) saw him^asws in the year two hundred and seventeen bidding farewell to the House (Kabah) at night, touching Al-Yamani corner, and the Black Stone during each circuit. So when he^asws was in the seventh circuit, he^asws adhered to the House at the back of the Kabah, near to the Yamani corner, and above the (Black) Stone by the rectangular stone, and uncovered the cloth from his belly. Then he went to the (Black) Stone), so he^asws kissed it, and wiped it, and went to the Standing Place (of Ibrahim^as), and he^asws performed <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> behind it. Then he^asws went and did not return to the House (Kabah), and it was his^asws pausing at Al-Multazam of a measurement of what some of our companions take to perform <span class="iTxt">Tawaaf</span> of seven circuits, and some of them eight’.
