قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع أَ تَدْرِي لِمَ سُمِّيَتِ الطَّائِفَ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع لَمَّا دَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنْ يَرْزُقَ أَهْلَهُ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ قَطَعَ لَهُمْ قِطْعَةً مِنَ الْأُرْدُنِ- فَأَقْبَلَتْ حَتَّى طَافَتْ بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعاً ثُمَّ أَقَرَّهَا اللَّهُ فِي مَوْضِعِهَا وَ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَتِ الطَّائِفَ لِلطَّوَافِ بِالْبَيْتِ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
7. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad who has said the following: “Once abu al-Hassan (a.s.), asked me, ‘Why is the name al-Ta’if?’ I (the narrator) replied, ‘No, I do not know.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘When Ibrahim (a.s.), prayed to his Lord to provide his family with sustenance, Allah cut a piece of land from ’ Adan (a mountain in al-Sham). It came and performed Tawaf around the House seven times then Allah set it in its place and it is called al-Ta’if because of its performing Tawaf around the House.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar·Thaqalayn link·The Arabic above is the original.
