5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Mahziyar from who has said the following: “Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Umar al-Hamadaniy once wrote to abu Ja‘far , and asked, ‘I performed al-Hajj and I was against ’A’immah, and it was my first al-Hajj; so I entered Makkah with al-‘Umrah for al-Hajj. He (the Imam) wrote to him the answer,

‘Do your al-Hajj again.”’
