سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ قَالَ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْمَوْقِفِ وَ النَّاسُ فِيهِ كَثِيرٌ فَدَنَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْمَوْقِفِ لَكَثِيرٌ قَالَ فَصَرَفَ بِبَصَرِهِ فَأَدَارَهُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ ادْنُ مِنِّي يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ غُثَاءٌ يَأْتِي بِهِ الْمَوْجُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا الْحَجُّ إِلَّا لَكُمْ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا يَتَقَبَّلُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا مِنْكُمْ.
318. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Hammaad Bin Abu Talha, from Muaz Bin Kaseer who said: I looked towards the pausing station (during the Pilgrimage) and there were a lot of people in it. So I approached Abu Abdullah  and said to him  that, ‘The people at the Pausing station are so many (in numbers)’. He  look around and pondered over them, then said: ‘Come closer to me , O Abu Abdullah, this is scum which the waves have brought from every place. No, by Allah (azwj)! There is no Pilgrimage except for you all. By Allah (azwj), Allah (azwj) will not Accept except from you’.
