20. Muhammad ibn Yahya and others have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from Yahya ibn al-Mubarak from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl who has said the following: “I once said to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I had a healthy sheep for offering as a sacrifice. When I placed it on the ground to slaughter, it looked at me and it moved me emotionally but I slaughtered it.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘I would not have liked for you to do that. Do not bring up something like that to slaughter afterwards.’”

A man owed me a certain amount of money and I was afraid of losing it. I complained before him about it. He said, ‘When you go to Makkah you should perform Tawaf on behalf of ‘Abd al-Muttalib, then you should perform two Rak‘at salat (prayer), and then perform Tawaf on behalf of abu Talib and two Rak‘at salat (prayer). You then should perform Tawaf on behalf of ‘Abd Allah, then two Rak‘at salat (prayer), perform Tawaf on behalf of Aminah, then two Rak‘at salat (prayer), perform Tawaf on behalf of Fatimah bint Asad, then two Rak‘at salat (prayer). Then pray for the return of your money.’ He (the narrator) has said, ‘I followed the instruction. Then I was leaving through the door of al-Safa’ and I saw my borrower standing, who said, ‘O Dawud, you kept me here for so long. Come and get your money.’”
