1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from a man from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘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. ‘“
