Hadith 43

(The book) ‘Al Kharaij Wa Al Jaraih’ –
‘It is reported that Abu Muhammad Al-Da’lajy had two sons for him, and he was from the good ones of our companions, and he had heard Ahadeeth. And one of his sons was upon the straight path, and he is Abu Al-Hassan. He was washing the deceased. And the other son travelled the path of the youths in the crimes. A Hajj was handed to Abu Muhammad to perform on behalf of Master-ajfj of the Time, and that was a norm of the Shias of that time. He handed over something from it (Hajj rituals) to his son, mentioned with the corruption, and he went out to Hajj. When he returned, he narrated that he had been standing at the pausing station and he saw a youth by its side, being of handsome face, brown colour, with two (pony) tails (of head gear), concentrating upon his-ajfj pre-occupation in the invoking and the supplicating and the beseeching, and good deeds. When a number of people approached, he-ajfj turned towards me and said: ‘O Sheikh! Are you not ashamed? ’ I said, ‘From which thing, O my Master-ajfj? ’ He-ajfj said: ‘A Hajj was handed over to you to be performed on behalf of the one you know, but you handed (part) of it to a mischief-maker who drinks the wine. No doubt, this eye of yours would go away! ’ – and he-ajfj gestured to my eye. And as for me, I am upon dread and fear up to now’. And Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Al-Numan heard that. He said, ‘Forty days did not pass after his arrival, until a sore came out in his eye which he-ajfj had gestured to, and it went (blind)’’. [55]
