Hajj of the Prophets ‘Alayhim al-Salam

قَالَ لِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع‌ إِنَّ سَفِينَةَ نُوحٍ كَانَتْ مَأْمُورَةً طَافَتْ بِالْبَيْتِ حَيْثُ غَرِقَتِ الْأَرْضُ ثُمَّ أَتَتْ مِنًى فِي أَيَّامِهَا ثُمَّ رَجَعَتِ السَّفِينَةُ وَ كَانَتْ مَأْمُورَةً وَ طَافَتْ بِالْبَيْتِ طَوَافَ النِّسَاءِ.

“Abu al-Hassan (a.s.), once said to me, ‘Noah’s Ark was commanded to perform Tawaf around the House as the land was submerged in water; then it went to Mina during its days, then it returned back and it was commanded to perform Tawaf around the House in the form of Tawaf of women.’”

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يُحَدِّثُ عَطَاءً قَالَ: كَانَ طُولُ سَفِينَةِ نُوحٍ أَلْفَ ذِرَاعٍ وَ مِائَتَيْ ذِرَاعٍ وَ عَرْضُهَا ثَمَانَمِائَةِ ذِرَاعٍ وَ طُولُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ مِائَتَيْنِ ذِرَاعاً وَ طَافَتْ‌ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ سَعَتْ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ ثُمَ‌ اسْتَوَتْ عَلَى الْجُودِيِ‌.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub, from al-Hassan ibn Salih who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘I heard abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, when speaking to ‘Ata’ say, “The length of the Ark of Noah was one thousand two hundred yards, its width was eight hun

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ‌ مَرَّ مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ فِي سَبْعِينَ نَبِيّاً عَلَى فِجَاجِ الرَّوْحَاءِ[1] عَلَيْهِمُ الْعَبَاءُ الْقَطَوَانِيَّةُ يَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ عَبْدُكَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ.

“I once heard abu Ja‘far (a.s.), say, ‘Moses, son of ‘Imran, passed by the wide road in al- Rawha’ (a place between al-Madinah and Makkah), along with seventy prophets dressed with gowns made in al-Qatwan, near al-Kufa, Iraq, saying, “Here I am to obey Your command O Lord, Your servant, son of Your servant.’””

مَرَّ مُوسَى النَّبِيُّ ع بِصِفَاحِ الرَّوْحَاءِ[2] عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ خِطَامُهُ مِنْ لِيفٍ عَلَيْهِ عَبَاءَتَانِ قَطَوَانِيَّتَانِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ- لَبَّيْكَ يَا كَرِيمُ لَبَّيْكَ قَالَ وَ مَرَّ يُونُسُ بْنُ مَتَّى بِصِفَاحِ الرَّوْحَاءِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ- لَبَّيْكَ كَشَّافَ الْكُرَبِ الْعِظَامِ لَبَّيْكَ قَالَ وَ مَرَّ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ بِصِفَاحِ الرَّوْحَاءِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ عَبْدُكَ ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ ل

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that Moses, the prophet, passed on his way to Makkah over the hillsides of al-Rawha’ on a red camel harnessed with fibers. He had two gowns, made in al- Qatwan and said, ‘Here I am, O Gracious Lord, to obey Your command; here I am.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yunus ibn Mathew passed over the

أَحْرَمَ مُوسَى ع مِنْ رَمْلَةِ مِصْرَ[3] قَالَ وَ مَرَّ بِصِفَاحِ الرَّوْحَاءِ مُحْرِماً يَقُودُ نَاقَتَهُ بِخِطَامٍ مِنْ لِيفٍ عَلَيْهِ عَبَاءَتَانِ قَطَوَانِيَّتَانِ يُلَبِّي وَ تُجِيبُهُ الْجِبَالُ.

“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘Moses (a.s.), dressed himself up for Ihram (one of the acts for Hajj) at Ramlah of Misr, (name of a city).’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘He passed over the hillsides of al-Rawha’ on his way to Makkah, in the state of Ihram, driving his camel with a harness made of fiber and having two gowns

أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ فِي الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ الطَّيْرِ وَ الرِّيَاحِ وَ كَسَا الْبَيْتَ الْقَبَاطِيَ‌[4].

‘Sulayman son of Dawud (Solomon son of David) performed Hajj along with Jinn, man, bird and wind, wearing a Coptic gown.’”

صَلَّى فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ سَبْعُمِائَةِ نَبِيٍّ وَ إِنَّ مَا بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَ الْمَقَامِ لَمَشْحُونٌ مِنْ قُبُورِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ إِنَّ آدَمَ لَفِي حَرَمِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.

“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘Seven hundred prophets said salat (prayer) in the Masjid of al-Khif, in Mina. The area between the corner and al-Maqam (the station of Ibrahim) is full of the graves of prophets; and Adam is in the Sacred place of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious.”

حَجَّ مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ ع وَ مَعَهُ سَبْعُونَ نَبِيّاً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ خُطُمُ‌[2] إِبِلِهِمْ مِنْ لِيفٍ يُلَبُّونَ وَ تُجِيبُهُمُ الْجِبَالُ وَ عَلَى مُوسَى عَبَاءَتَانِ قَطَوَانِيَّتَانِ يَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ عَبْدُكَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ.

“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘Moses along with seventy Israelite prophets performed Hajj. They harnessed their camels with fiber. (Everyone) said, “Here I am, O Lord, to obey Your command,” and the hills responded along with them. Moses had two gowns which were made in Qatwan and he said, “Here I am, O Lord, to obey Y

رَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع دَخَلَ الْحِجْرَ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْبَابِ فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى قَدْرِ ذِرَاعَيْنِ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَداً مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ يُصَلِّي بِحِيَالِ الْمِيزَابِ فَقَالَ هَذَا مُصَلَّى شَبَّرَ وَ شَبِيرٍ ابْنَيْ هَارُونَ.

“I saw abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), enter al-Hijr from the side of the door. He stood up to say salat (prayer) at a distance of two yards from the House and I said to him, ‘I have not seen anyone from your family pray under al-Mizab.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘This is the place where Shabbar and Shabir, sons of Harun said their s

دُفِنَ مَا بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ الْيَمَانِيِّ وَ الْحَجَرِ الْأَسْوَدِ سَبْعُونَ نَبِيّاً أَمَاتَهُمُ اللَّهُ جُوعاً وَ ضُرّاً.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that between al-Yamaniy corner and Black Stone seventy prophets are buried; Allah caused them to die because of hunger and hardships.”

إِنَّ دَاوُدَ لَمَّا وَقَفَ الْمَوْقِفَ بِعَرَفَةَ نَظَرَ إِلَى النَّاسِ وَ كَثْرَتِهِمْ فَصَعِدَ الْجَبَلَ فَأَقْبَلَ يَدْعُو فَلَمَّا قَضَى نُسُكَهُ أَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا دَاوُدُ يَقُولُ لَكَ رَبُّكَ لِمَ صَعِدْتَ الْجَبَلَ ظَنَنْتَ أَنَّهُ يَخْفَى عَلَيَّ صَوْتُ مَنْ صَوَّتَ ثُمَّ مَضَى بِهِ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ إِلَى جُدَّةَ فَرَسَبَ بِهِ فِي الْمَاءِ مَسِيرَةَ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحاً فِي الْبَرِّ فَإِذَ

11. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Kufiy from Ali ibn Mahziyar from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from ibn Muskan from those whom he has mentioned who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that Dawud (David) stayed at the station in ‘Arafat and looked at the people who seemed of great
