قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ رَجُلًا اسْتَشَارَنِي فِي الْحَجِّ وَ كَانَ ضَعِيفَ الْحَالِ فَأَشَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَحُجَّ فَقَالَ مَا أَخْلَقَكَ‌[4] أَنْ تَمْرَضَ سَنَةً قَالَ فَمَرِضْتُ سَنَةً.

“I once said to abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘A man asked for my advice about performing al- Hajj, and he was in a weak condition; so I hinted for him not go for al-Hajj. He (the Imam) said, ‘What can protect you from living ill for a whole year!’ He (the narrator) has said, ‘I suffered from illness for a whole year. ‘“
