Hadith 6

Go to your riding animal and be upon readiness from your affairs until when the night wears its apparel and its darkness immerses the people, go to the mountain pass of the clan of Aamir, for you shall meet me over there! ’
I went to my house. When I sensed the time, I corrected my riding animal and proceeded to my riding animal, and wrapped it tightly, and I carried and went in its road, and I went diligently in the travel until I arrived at the mountain pass, and there I was with the youth standing, calling out to me: ‘O Abu Al-Hassan! To me! ’
I did not cease to go towards him. When I was near, he initiated me with the greeting and said: ‘Travel with, O brother! ’ He did not cease discussing with me until we went over mount Arafaat and we travelled to mount Mina, and the first dawn broke and we were in the middle of mountain Al-Taif.
