1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr and Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from af-Fadf ibn Shadhan from ibn abu ‘Umayr and Safwan ibn Yahya from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that one must walk seven times around the Ka £ bah. During Tawaf, one should say, ‘O Allah, I appeal before You through Your name by which one walks on water just as one walks on hard land. I appeal before You through Your name for which Your Throne vibrates. I appeal before You through Your name for which the feet of Your angels shake. I appeal before You through Your name by which Moses called You from the side of Mount Tur. You answered his call and placed on him love from Yourself. I appeal before You through Your name because of which You granted forgiveness to Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, for his past and future Dhanb (shortcomings) and completed for him Your favors, grant my so and so wishes. Ask for whatever you wish.’ After you arrive near the door of al-Ka £ bah say, £ 0 Allah, grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause).’ Between the corner of al- Yemaniy and the Black Stone say, £ Our Lord, grant us good in this world and in the next life and protect us from hellfire.’ During your Tawaf (walking around the Ka £ bah) say, £ 0 Allah, I need You and I am afraid. I seek protection. Do not change my body and do not change my name.”’

Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Salih who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said. ‘Once I was performing Tawaf when I heard a man say, “Why is it that these two corners are touched and these two are not touched?” I said, “The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, touched these two and did not bother about those ones. So do not bother about what the Messenger of Allah did not do.’” Jamil has said, ‘I saw abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, touch all the corners.’

When he reached al-Yemaniy corner he held it (with his hands). I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, how is it that you touch the Black Stone and hold al-Yemaniy corner? He replied, ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “Whenever I would reach al-Yemaniy corner I would find Jibril arrive before me to hold al-Yemaniy corner.’””

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from al-‘ Ala’ ibn al-Muq‘ad who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, say, ‘There is an angel assigned on al-Yemaniy corner from the time Allah created the heavens and the earth. This angel has no Hijjir except saying, ‘Amen’ for your prayers, so a servant of Allah should consider what to appeal for in his prayer.’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘What is al-Hijjir?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is the expression of Arabs, meaning he has nothing to do but to do so and so. In another Hadith it says, ‘He (the angel) has no other task but that (saying Amen)”’

Allah has not closed it from the day He opened it.” In another Hadith it says, “It is our door to paradise through which we enter.”

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from abu al-Faraj al-Sindiy who has said the following: “I once was performing Tawaf along with abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and he said, ‘Which of these has a greater importance?’ I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause; you know better than I do.’ He (the Imam) repeated his question to me. I then said, ‘Inside the House has more importance.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Al-Yemaniy corner is a door of the doors of paradise which is open for the Shi`a of the family of Muhammad, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, and is closed to others. Whoever of the believing people prays near this (corner), his prayer climbs up until it attaches to the Throne. There is no barrier between it (prayer) and Allah.’”

16. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hafs ibn al-Bakhtariy who has said the following: “In this place, - when passing al-Yemaniy corner -, there is an angel who is given the hearing of the inhabitants of earth; thus, whoever says, ‘O Allah, grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause)’ when reaching this place he (the angel) conveys it to him (the Messenger of Allah).”’

17ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ كَانَ بِمَكَّةَ رَجُلٌ مَوْلىً لِبَنِي أُمَيَّةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ لَهُ عِنَادَةٌ وَكَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَوْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَشْيَاخِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِم السَّلاَم) يَعْبَثُ بِهِ وَإِنَّهُ أَتَى أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) وَهُوَ فِي الطَّوَافِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الله مَا تَقُولُ فِي اسْتِلامِ الْحَجَرِ فَقَالَ اسْتَلَمَهُ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا أَرَاكَ اسْتَلَمْتَهُ قَالَ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُوذِيَ ضَعِيفاً أَوْ أَتَأَذَّى قَالَ فَقَالَ قَدْ زَعَمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) اسْتَلَمَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَكِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِذَا رَأَوْهُ عَرَفُوا لَهُ حَقَّهُ وَأَنَا فَلا يَعْرِفُونَ لِي حَقِّي.

17. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali or others from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman who has said the following: “In Makkah there was a man of the friends of Banu ‘Umayyah called ibn abu ‘Awanah who had hostility. Whenever abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, or any shaykh from the family of Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, entered Makkah, he mocked. He came to abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, during his performing Tawaf and said, ‘O abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, what do you say about touching the Black Stone?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The Messenger of Allah touched it.’ He said, ‘But I do not see you touching it.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘I do not like to disturb weak people or be disturbed.’ He then said, ‘But you believe that the Messenger of Allah would touch it.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, but when people would see the Messenger of Allah they recognize his rights and in my case they do not recognize it.’”

18ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ (عَلَيْهِم السَّلاَم) أَنَّ عَلِيّاً صَلَوَاتُ الله عَلَيْهِ سُئِلَ كَيْفَ يَسْتَلِمُ الأَقْطَعُ الْحَجَرَ قَالَ يَسْتَلِمُ الْحَجَرَ مِنْ حَيْثُ الْقَطْعِ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ مَقْطُوعَةً مِنَ الْمِرْفَقِ اسْتَلَمَ الْحَجَرَ بِشِمَالِهِ.

18. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from af-Nawfafiy from af-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that Ali, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, was asked about a man whose hand was cut, how he could touch the Black Stone. He (the Imam) said, ‘He touches with the part that is cut, but if it is cut from the elbow, he then touches with his left hand.’”

19ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) طَافَ بِالْكَعْبَةِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ الرُّكْنَ الْيَمَانِيَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي شَرَّفَكِ وَعَظَّمَكِ وَالْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي نَبِيّاً وَجَعَلَ عَلِيّاً إِمَاماً اللهمَّ أَهْدِ لَهُ خِيَارَ خَلْقِكَ وَجَنِّبْهُ شِرَارَ خَلْقِكَ.

19. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from those whom he has mentioned (in his book) from Muhammad ibn Ja’far al-Nawfaliy from Ibrahim ibn ‘Isa from his father from abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, performed Tawaf around al-Ka‘bah until he reached al-Yemaniy corner. He then raised his head toward al-Ka‘bah and said, ‘All praise belongs to Allah who has given you (al- Ka’bah) distinction and greatness. All praise belongs to Allah who has sent me as a prophet and has made Ali an Imam. O Allah, guide through him Your best creatures and keep the evil ones of Your creatures away from him.’”
