Hadith 22

(The book) ‘Ikmal Al Deen’ – Al Daqqaq, and Ibn Isam, and al Warraq, altogether from Al Kulayni, from Ali Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad and Al-Husayn, two sons of Ali Bin Ibrahim (meaning Ali Bin Ibrahim son of Musa Bin Ja’far-asws), during the year two hundred and seventy-nine. They said, ‘It is narrated to us by muhammad Bin Ali Bin Abdul Rahman Al Abdy, from Abd Qays, from Zaw Bin Ali Al Ijaly, from a man from the people of Persia, he named him, said, ‘I came to Surmanray and adhered with the door of Abu Muhammad-asws. He-asws called out to me from without my seeking permission (to enter). When I entered and greeted, he-asws said to me: ‘O son of so and so! How are you? ’
Then he-asws said to me: ‘Take a seat, O so and so! ’ Then he-asws asked me about men and women from my family. Then he-asws said to me: ‘What is that which made you arrive? ’ I said, ‘Desire in serving you-asws’. He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws said to me: ‘Adhere with the house! ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘I was in the house with the servants, then I went to buy some needed items for them from the market, and I used to enter without permission whenever there were (other) men in the house. One day I entered to see him in the house of men. I heard movement in the room. He-asws called out to me: ‘Stay in your place, do not depart! ’
I did not have the audacity to enter nor exit. A maid came out to me and there was something covered with her. Then he-asws called out to me: ‘Enter! ’ I entered, and he-asws called out at the maid. She returned. He-asws said to her: ‘Uncover from what is with you! ’ She uncovered from a fair boy, handsome of face, and he-asws uncovered from his-asws belly, and there were green hair from his-ajfj chest to the navel, not being with blackness. He-asws said: ‘This is your Master-ajfj! ’ Then he-asws ordered her. She carried him-ajfj. I did not see him-ajfj after that until Abu Muhammad-asws passed away’. Zou Bin Ali said, ‘I said to the Persian, ‘How much do you estimate would be his-ajfj age? ’ He said, ‘Two years’. I said to Zou, ‘How much do you estimate would be for him-ajfj in this time of ours? ’ He said, ‘Fourteen years’. Abu Ali-asws and Abu Abdullah said, ‘And we are estimating there being twenty-one years for him-ajfj’’. [29]
