18. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from Aban from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far , has said, ‘Up to the time of ‘Adnan ibn ’Udad, descendents of Isma‘il were the caretakers of the House. They showed people how to perform the acts of Hajj and taught them religious matters, one generation after the other. After such a long time, their hearts became hard and they became corrupt and invented false issues. Certain ones among them expelled others from the city. A group of them moved away in search for living. Others moved away for their dislike of fighting and they still had a great deal of straightforward teaching of Ibrahim, like unlawfulness of marriage with mothers and daughters and things that Allah has made unlawful in marriage, except that they considered fathers’ wives, daughters of sisters and to marry two sisters at the same time as lawful. They practiced Hajj, Talbiyah and taking showers after carnal relations, except the things that they had invented in their Talbiyah and paganism issues in their Hajj. Moses lived between the time of Isma‘il and ‘Adnan ibn ’Udad.’”
