٩ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الْفَضْلِ قَالَ كُنْتُ مُجَاوِراً بِمَكَّةَ فَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مِنْ أَيْنَ أُحْرِمُ بِالْحَجِّ فَقَالَ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَحْرَمَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مِنَ الْجِعْرَانَةِ أَتَاهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ فُتُوحٌ فَتْحُ الطَّائِفِ وَفَتْحُ خَيْبَرَ وَالْفَتْحُ فَقُلْتُ مَتَى أَخْرُجُ قَالَ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَرُورَةً فَإِذَا مَضَى مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ يَوْمٌ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ حَجَجْتَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا مَضَى مِنَ الشَّهْرِ خَمْسٌ.
9. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Safwan from abu al-Fadl who has said the following: “I resided in Makkah and I asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about wherefrom should I assume the state of Ihram for al-Hajj. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must assume the state of Ihram from where the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, did which is al-Ja‘ranah, which is the place where victory came to him several times like the victory of Ta’if, Khaybar and the Victory.’ I then asked, ‘When should I go out?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If it is your first al-Hajj, you can go out on the second day of Dhu al-Hajj ah, but if it is not your first al-Hajj, then you can go out on fifth of Dhu al-Hajj ah.’”
