Helping the lost people
The seventeenth’s narration was, visiting the Excellency (mgehr) by Sheykh QÄsem:
The knowledgeable and grand Sayyid, Sayyid Ê¿AlÄ« Khan al-ḤuwayzÄ« has narrated that, a man from the believers, in our town who was called Sheykh QÄsem and was going to Hajj many times, said,
‘Once I got tired of walking, so I slept beneath a tree, but it lasted too much and the pilgrims passed me and got far away from me. When I woke up, I was not aware of the time; how long I have slept.
Since pilgrims got away from me, I didn’t know where I should head to. So, I made my way toward a direction and called loudly, ‘O’ AbÄ SÄleh (mgehr),’ And kept saying it. Just as ibn ṬÄwÅ«s mentioned in the book “AmÄnâ€, in the description of what should be said at the time of getting lost. Then, while I was crying out, I saw a rider on a camel, in the cloth of the primitive Arabs.
When he saw me, he asked, ‘Did you miss [groups of] Hajjis?!’ I replied, ‘Yes!’ He stated, ‘Get on the horse, behind me, and I will take you to the crowd.’ So, I got on his back and in less than one hour, we reach the caravan.
As we got near, he helped me dismount the horse and stated, ‘Go get your work done!’. I told him I had been suffering from thirst.’ Then he took a waterskin out of the saddle of his camel, and watered me.
I swear by God, it was the tastiest and pleasant water that I had ever drunk. After that, I kept on my way, till I joint the Hajjis. But when I looked for him, I didn’t see him! And I hadn’t ever seen such person among the Hajjis; both before and after the event.
