٢ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى وَابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كُنْتُ أَطُوفُ وَسُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ قَرِيبٌ مِنِّي فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الله كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَصْنَعُ بِالْحَجَرِ إِذَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ كَانَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَسْتَلِمُهُ فِي كُلِّ طَوَافِ فَرِيضَةٍ وَنَافِلَةٍ قَالَ فَتَخَلَّفَ عَنِّي قَلِيلاً فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى الْحَجَرِ جُزْتُ وَمَشَيْتُ فَلَمْ أَسْتَلِمْهُ فَلَحِقَنِي فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الله أَ لَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) كَانَ يَسْتَلِمُ الْحَجَرَ فِي كُلِّ طَوَافِ فَرِيضَةٍ وَنَافِلَةٍ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَقَدْ مَرَرْتَ بِهِ فَلَمْ تَسْتَلِمْ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَ لِرَسُولِ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَا لا يَرَوْنَ لِي وَكَانَ إِذَا انْتَهَى إِلَى الْحَجَرِ أَفْرَجُوا لَهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَلِمَهُ وَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ الزِّحَامَ.
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from af-Fadf ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Abd af- Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘I was performing Tawaf and Sufyan al-Thawriy was nearby. He asked, “O ‘Abd Allah, what would the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, do when he arrived there?” I replied, “He (the Messenger of Allah), O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, would touch it in each Tawaf, obligatory or optional.’” He (the Imam) has said, ‘He kept behind slightly from me and when I arrived near the Black Stone, I passed and walked and did not touch it. He (Sufyan) approached me and said, “O abu ‘Abd Allah, did you not tell me that the Messenger of Allah would touch the Black Stone in each Tawaf obligatory or optional?” I replied, “Yes, I did say so.” He then said, “You just passed and did not touch.” I said, “What people would see with the Messenger of Allah, they do not see with me. When he (the Messenger of Allah) would arrive near the Black Stone people would make room for him, and I do not like congestion.’””
