Hadith 156

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, or someone else, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al-Husayn Bin Umar Bin Yazeed who said, ‘I went over to Al-Reza-asws, and I, in those days, was a Waqifiite, and it was so that my father had asked his-asws father-asws about seven questions and he-asws hand answered six and withheld from the seventh. I said (to myself), ‘By Allah-azwj! I shall ask him-asws about what my father asked his-asws father-asws. If he-asws were to answer with the like of the answer of his-asws father, it would be proof’. I asked him-asws, and he-asws answered with like the answer of his-asws father-asws to my father regarding the six questions, and he-asws did not increase in the answer with neither a (letter) ‘Waw’ nor a (letter) ‘Ya’, and he-asws withheld from the seventh. And my father had said to his-asws father-asws, ‘I shall argue against you-asws in the Presence of Allah-azwj on the Day of Judgment. You-asws are claiming that Abdullah does not happen to be the Imam’. He-asws had placed his-asws hand upon his neck, then said to him: ‘Yes, argue against me-asws with that on the Day of Judgment in the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic. Whatever was in it from a sin, so it would be upon my-asws neck. When I bade him-asws farewell, he-asws said: ‘There isn’t anyone from our-asws Shias who is afflicted with an affliction or a complaint, so he is patient upon that, except that Allah-azwj would Write to him the Recompense of a thousand martyrs’. I said within myself, ‘By Allah-azwj! There was no mention of this! ’
When I went and was in one of the streets, a leg vein came out with me (swelled) and I faced intense (pain) from it. So when it was from the next year, I performed Hajj, and I went over to him-asws, and there had (still) remained some pain from my pains. I complained to him-asws, and I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! My leg is hurting’ and I extended it in front of him-asws. He-asws said to me: ‘There is nothing wrong upon this leg of yours but show me-asws your correct leg’. I extended it in front of him-asws and he-asws sought Refuge (with Allah-azwj) for it. When I left, I did not wait except for a little while until the vein swelled with me, and it was of a little pain’’. [173]
