Hadith 25

eneath the spout (of the Kabah) and with him-asws was a group, when an old man came. He greeted, then said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! I love you-asws all, People-asws of the Household, and I disavow from your-asws enemies, and I am afflicted severe afflictions and I have come to the House (Kabah) seeking Refuge with it from what I feel! ’
Then he cried and devoted to Abu Abdullah-asws kissing his-asws head and his-asws legs, and Abu Abdullah-asws went on to step aside from him. He-asws pitied him and wept, then said: ‘This is your brother and he has come to you seeking refuge with you all, so raise your hands! ’ Abu Abdullah-asws raised his-asws hands, and we raised our hands. Then he-asws said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Surely You-azwj Created this soul from clay You-azwj had Purified and Made from it Your-azwj, and friends of Your-azwj friends, and if You-azwj Desire, You-azwj can Remove the afflictions from them, Do so! O Allah-azwj! And he has sought Refuge with Your-azwj House which is a security for all things, and he has sought Refuge through us-asws! O One Who is Veiled from His-azwj creatures by His‑azwj Noor! I-asws ask You-azwj by Muhammad-saww, and Ali-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws! O Ultimate for every grief-stricken, and troubles, and distressed, and desperate afflicted! Secure him through our-asws security from what he is feeling, and Delete from his clay whatever dirt of affliction there is upon it, and Relieve his stress, O most Merciful of the merciful ones! ’
When he-asws was free from the supplication, the man went away. When he reached door of the Masjid, he returned and cried, then said: ‘Allah-azwj is more Knowing of where to Keep His‑azwj Message! By Allah-azwj! I had not reached door of the Masjid, and there is neither little nor more of what I feel! ’ Then he turned away’’. [36]
