بَيْنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عِيسَى فِي دَارِهِ الَّتِي فِي الْمَسْعَى يُشْرِفُ عَلَى الْمَسْعَى إِذْ رَأَى أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى‌ ع مُقْبِلًا مِنَ الْمَرْوَةِ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ فَأَمَرَ ابْنَ هَيَّاجٍ رَجُلًا مِنْ هَمْدَانَ مُنْقَطِعاً إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّقَ بِلِجَامِهِ وَ يَدَّعِيَ الْبَغْلَةَ فَأَتَاهُ فَتَعَلَّقَ بِاللِّجَامِ وَ ادَّعَى الْبَغْلَةَ فَثَنَى أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع رِجْلَهُ فَنَزَلَ عَنْهَا وَ قَالَ لِغِلْمَانِه

‘Musa Bin Isa was in his house which was in the place of Sa’ee (nearby the Kaaba), overlooking it when he saw Abu Al-Hassan Musa (asws) coming from Al-Marwa upon his (asws) mule. So he ordered Ibn Hayyaaj, a man from Hamdaan who was very close to him (asws) to go and hold on to the reins and make a claim for the mule.
