Hadith 173

And from the (afore) mentioned book, from Muhammad Bin Ali Al Sowfy who said, ‘Ibrahim the cameleer, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, sought permission to see Abu Al-Hassan Ali Bin Yaqteen, the minister, but he barred him. Ali Bin Yaqteen performed Hajj during that year. He sought permission to see our Master Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws. He-asws barred him, and he saw him-asws on his second day. Ali Bin Yaqteen said, ‘O my Master-asws! What is my sin (fault)? ’ He-asws said: ‘I-asws barred you (yesterday) because you had barred your brother Ibrahim the cameleer, and Allah-azwj has Refused to Thank your striving, or (if) Ibrahim the cameleer were to forgive you’. I said, ‘My Chief and my Master-asws! How can there be for me with Ibrahim the cameleer in this time, and I am at Al-Medina, and he is at Al-Kufa? ’
He said, ‘When it will be the night, then go to Al-Baqie (graveyard) alone, from without letting anyone of from your companions know of you, and ride noble horse over there, saddled’. He (the narrator) said, ‘He arrived at Al-Baqie and rode the noble horse, and it was not long before he rested it at the door of Ibrahim the cameleer at Al-Kufa. He knocked the door and said, ‘I am Ali Bin Yaqteen! ’ Ibrahim the cameleer said from inside the house, ‘What work does Ali Bin Yaqteen have at my door? ’
Ali Bin Yazteen said, ‘O you! My matter is mighty! ’ And he insisted upon him that he give permission to him. When he entered, he said, ‘O Ibrahim! The Master-asws refuses to accept me or unless you forgive me’. He said, ‘May Allah-azwj Forgive you’. Ali Bin Yaqteen insisted upon Ibrahim that he should tread upon his cheek, but Ibrahim refused from that. He insisted upon him secondly, and he did so. Ibrahim did not cease to tread his cheek, and Ali Bin Yaqteen was saying, ‘O Allah-azwj! Be Witness! ’
Then he left and rode the noble horse and rested it in his night at the door of the Master Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws at Al-Medina. He-asws permitted for him, and he entered to see him-asws. He-asws accepted him’’. [196]
