Hadith 317

(The books) ‘Al Manaqib of Ibn Shehr Ashub, (and) ‘Al Kharaij Wa Al Jaraih’ –
‘Hammad Bin Isa asked Al-Sadiq-asws to supplicate for him, for Allah-azwj to Grace him what he could perform many Hajj with it, and to Grace him a good estate, and a good house, and get him married to the people of righteous Households, and righteous children. Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Grace Hammad Bin Isa what he can perform fifty Hajj with it, and Grace him an estate and a good house, and a righteous wife from an honourable people, and righteous children! ’
One from the ones present said, ‘After years, I entered to see Hammad Bin Isa in his house at Al-Basra. He said to me, ‘Do you remember the supplication of Al-Sadiq-asws for me? ’ I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘This is my house. There isn’t any like of it in the city, and my estate is the best of the estates, and my wife is one whom you know as being from the honourable people, and my children you know that, and I have performed forty-eight Hajj’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Hammad performed two (more) Hajj after that. When he was performing the fifty first Hajj, and arrive to Al-Juhfa, and wanted to wear Ihraam, he went to a valley and wore it. The torrent seized him and went away with him. His servants pursued him and extracted him from the water as dead. So Hammad was named as ‘Drowned at Al-Juhfa’’. [153]
