3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Safwan ibn Yahya from Sayf al- Tammar who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), that I arrived near the Black Stone and found people crowded. I did not find anyone of our people except one man. I asked him and he said that it is necessary to touch the Black Stone. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, if you find it free of the crowd; otherwise, salute it from a distant place.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
