Hadith 65

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the Sheykh Al Tusi – A group, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Abu Al Lays Muhammad Bin Muaz, from Ahmad Bin Al Munzir, from Abdul Wahab Bin Hammam, from his father Hammam Bin Nafie, from Hammam Bin Munabbih, from Hujr, meaning Al Mazry who said, ‘I arrive at Makkah and at it was Abu Al-Zarr-ra, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him-ra, Jundab Bin Junada, and Umar Bin Al Khattab had arrived during that year to perform Hajj and with him were a party from the Emigrants and the Helpers, and among them was Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws. While I was in the Sacred Masjid with Abu Al-Zarr-ra when Ali-asws passed by us, and he-asws paused and prayed Salat parallel to us. Abu Al-Zarr-ra shot at him-asws with his-ra sight (kept looking at him-asws). I said, ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on you-ra, Abu Zarr-ra! You are looking at Ali-asws, so what will you-ra achieve from it? ’
He-ra said, ‘I-ra am doing that, for I-asws have hear Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘The looking at Ali‑asws Bin Abu Talib-asws is (an act of) worship, and the looking at the parent with kindness and mercy is (an act of) worship, and the looking at the Parchment, meaning Parchment of the Quran is (an act of) worship, and the looking at the Kabah is (an act of) worship’’.
