١٢ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الْحَطِيمِ فَقَالَ هُوَ مَا بَيْنَ الْحَجَرِ الأَسْوَدِ وَبَيْنَ الْبَابِ وَسَأَلْتُهُ لِمَ سُمِّيَ الْحَطِيمَ فَقَالَ لأَنَّ النَّاسَ يَحْطِمُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً هُنَاكَ. 
12. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from ibn Faddal from Tha’labah from Mu‘awiyah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about al-Hatim as to why it is called al-Hatim (clashing). He (the Imam) said, ‘It is because people there collide against each other.’”
