كُنْتُ أَتَوَضَّأُ فِي مِيضَاةِ الْكُوفَةِ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَدْ جَاءَ فَوَضَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ وَ وَضَعَ دِرَّتَهُ فَوْقَهَا ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَوَضَّأَ مَعِي فَزَحَمْتُهُ فَوَقَعَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَقَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ ضَرَبَ رَأْسِي بِالدِّرَّةِ ثَلَاثاً ثُمَّ قَالَ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَدْفَعَ فَتَكْسِرَ فَتُغَرَّمَ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا فَقَالُوا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَذَهَبْتُ أَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْهِ فَمَضَى وَ لَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ.

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Washa, from Aban, from Ali Bin Ismail, from Amro Bin Abu Al Maqdam, from a man, from Razeyn who said, ‘I was performing ablution in the washing facilities of Al-Kufa, so there was a man who had come over. So he took-off his shoes, and placed his whip upon it. Then he approached me, so he performed ablution along with me. So I bumped him, and he fell upon his hands. So he arose and performed ablution. So when he was free, he struck my head with the whip, three times, then said: ‘Beware of bumping, so if you break (somebody’s bone), you will (have to pay) compensation’. So I said, ‘Who is this?’ So they (people) said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen asws ’. So I went to offer my excuses, but he asws went and did not turn towards me’.
