4. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Sulayman from Ziyad al-Qandiy from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from Dharih al-Muharibiy who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah , Allah has commanded me in His book and I love to obey that command. He (the Imam) asked, ‘What is that commandment?’ I replied, ‘It is the words of Allah. “Then spruce up and comply with your vows.’” He (the Imam) said, ‘Spruce up’ means visit your Imam, ‘comply with your vows’ means perform the acts of al-Hajj.’ ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan has said, ‘I visited abu ‘Abd Allah , and asked, “I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause. What is the meaning of the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘Spruce up and comply with your vows?”” He (the Imam) replied, ‘It means trimming one’s mustache and nails, and so on.’ I (the narrator) then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause. Dharih al-Muharibiy narrated to me that you have said to him, “Spruce up” means visiting the Imam, “comply with your vows” means performing acts of al-Hajj.’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Dharih has spoken the truth and you have spoken the truth. Al-Quran has apparent and hidden meanings. Who is he to bear what Dharih is able to bear?””
