رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع وَدَّعَ الْبَيْتَ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنْ بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ خَرَّ سَاجِداً ثُمَّ قَامَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ فَقَالَ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى أَلَّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ[3].
‘O Allah, I go back with my affirmation that no one deserves worship except You.’”
رَأَيْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِيَ ع فِي سَنَةِ خَمْسٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ مِائَتَيْنِ وَدَّعَ الْبَيْتَ[1] بَعْدَ ارْتِفَاعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ يَسْتَلِمُ الرُّكْنَ الْيَمَانِيَّ فِي كُلِّ شَوْطٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الشَّوْطِ السَّابِعِ اسْتَلَمَهُ وَ اسْتَلَمَ الْحَجَرَ وَ مَسَحَ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْمَقَامَ فَصَلَّى خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى دُبُرِ الْكَعْبَ
“I saw Abu Ja`far, the second ‘Alayhi al-Salam, in the year 225 Hijriy, say farewell to the House after sunrise. He performed Tawaf around the House, touched al-Yemaniy corner every time he walked around the House. During the seventh, the last shawt (walking around the House) he touched that corner and the Black Stone.
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع هُوَ ذَا أَخْرُجُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ أُوَدِّعُ الْبَيْتَ قَالَ تَأْتِي الْمُسْتَجَارَ بَيْنَ الْحَجَرِ وَ الْبَابِ فَتُوَدِّعُهُ مِنْ ثَمَّ ثُمَّ تَخْرُجُ فَتَشْرَبُ مِنْ زَمْزَمَ ثُمَّ تَمْضِي فَقُلْتُ أَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِي فَقَالَ لَا تَقْرَبِ الصَّبَّ.
“I once asked Abu `Abd Allah (a.s.), £ I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I am about to leave. Wherefrom should I say farewell to the House?’ He (the Imam) said, £ Go to al-Mustajar, between the door and the Black Stone, and say farewell from there, then leave and drink water from Zamzam then mo
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّكَ لَتُدْمِنُ الْحَجَّ قُلْتُ أَجَلْ- قَالَ فَلْيَكُنْ آخِرُ عَهْدِكَ بِالْبَيْتِ أَنْ تَضَعَ يَدَكَ عَلَى الْبَابِ وَ تَقُولَ الْمِسْكِينُ عَلَى بَابِكَ فَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْهِ بِالْجَنَّةِ.
Do you perform al-Hajj very often?’ I replied, £ Yes, I do so.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘During your last farewell of the House, you should place your hand at the door and say, “The destitute is standing at Your door. Give him paradise as charity.’””
