٦ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنِ الْمَمَرِّ فِي مُؤَخَّرِ مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَلا أُسَلِّمُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَقَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ فَيَدْخُلُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَيُسَلِّمُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ لا يَدْنُو مِنَ الْقَبْرِ فَقَالَ لا قَالَ سَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ حِينَ تَدْخُلُ وَحِينَ تَخْرُجُ وَمِنْ بَعِيدٍ.
6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Safwan ibn Yahya who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan , about passing behind the Masjid of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, without offering al-Salam to the Holy Prophet. He (the Imam) replied, ’Abu al-Hassan , would not do so.’ I then asked, ’Would he enter the Masjid and offer al-Salam without approaching the grave?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘No, he, however, would offer al-Salam when entering and when leaving (the Masjid) from a distance.’”
