3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Kufiy from Ali ibn Mahziyar who has said the following: “I saw Abu Ja`far, the second ‘Alayhi al-Salam, in the year 225 Hijriy, say farewell to the House after sunrise. He performed Tawaf around the House, touched al-Yemaniy corner every time he walked around the House. During the seventh, the last shawt (walking around the House) he touched that corner and the Black Stone. He touched with his hand and then wiped his hand over his face. He then went behind al-Maqam (station of Ibrahim  ) then performed two Rak £ at salat (prayer). He then went behind al-Ka £ bah to al-Multazam. He kept his belly, without any covering, attached to the wall of the House. He then stood up for a long time, praying. He then went out through the door of al-Hannatin and turned his face to the House. I had seen him in the year 217 Hijriy saying farewell to the House during the night. He touched al-Yemaniy corner and the Black Stone every time he walked around the House. During the seventh shawt, he kept himself very close to the House at its backside near al-Yemaniy corner over the rectangular stone. He kept his belly attached to the wall of al-Ka‘bah without any covering. He then went to the Black Stone, kissed it, touched it and then went behind al-Maqam of Ibrahim  and performed two Rak £ at salat (prayer). He then left and did not return to the House. His standing near al-Multazam was for such a long time as some of our people’s walking seven times and others’ eight times around the Ka £ bah.’”
