I was with that honorable man on a trip to Samarra. He had a chamber where he slept alone, and I had a chamber connected to his. I serviced him with care day and at night, people used to gather in his presence until late at night. One night, he sat down as usual and people gathered around him, but I saw that he seemed to be averse to staying in the gatherings and liked there to be deserted.
He was the family of the honorable scholar and the great and pious unique worshiper, Shaykh Huá¹£ayn Najaf, who was then the ImÄm of the Congregation [the clergyman for congregation] in Hindiyah Mosque of Najaf is Ashraf and in piety, goodness and grace acceptable to the people.
Also, Sheykh al-KulaynÄ«Â has narrated a story as follow, ‘ZakarÄ«yyÄ b. IbrÄhÄ«m was a Christian who had converted to Islam, and performed Ḥajj. One time, he went to the service of His Majesty al-á¹¢Ädiq (pbuh) and said, ‘My parents and my family all are Christian, and my mother is blind and I live with her, and eat from his plate .
Even though he was in exile and cut off from his family and relatives, he was extremely generous and granted the things a lot. He didn’t pay attention to the large number of expenses and the increase in expenses.
Anyway, once I had nothing with me for the whole day. And I explained the situation to Sayyid, that there are a lot of expenses and nothing in hand.
When I came back from visiting the Holy Shrine of His Majesty AbÅ« Ê¿Abd AllÄh (pbuh), I was going to Najaf by the Euphrates. I sat in a small boat ; roaing from Karbala to Tawiraj (Hindiyah).
People in the boat we all from Hillah. The way of Hillah was parted from Najaf at Tawiraj . Yet, I saw the people began reveling and joking, except one man who was with them and didn’t join their activity.
‘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. Â
There was an old friendship and companionship between one of the Twelver Shi’a scholars whose name was Abu al- QÄsim ibn Muḥammad ibn AbÄ« al- QÄsim ḤasemÄ«, and one Sunni scholar, called RafÄ«Ê¿ al-DÄ«n Ḥusayn. They had a partnership in their properties and were together in most situations and on trips. But, none of them hid his religion or his belief from the other. Abu al- QÄsim used to call RafÄ«Ê¿ al-DÄ«n NÄá¹£ibÄ«, as humor, and on the other hand, RafÄ«Ê¿called Abu al- QÄsim as RÄfiá¸ah
One day, the evil vizier entered before the sovereign with a pomegranate and handed it to him. The sovereign had a look at it, it was written on it, “There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and Abubakr, Ummer, ʻUthman, and Ali are the successors of the Messenger of Allah
A crowd of the people from Najaf informed me, that a KÄshÄnÄ« man came to Najaf Ashraf in order to go on Ḥajj to Bayt al HarÄm. But he became disabled there, because of a serious disease. It was so serious that he had still legs, and he couldn’t walk!
There was a ruler in Ḥillah who they called him ‘Marjan Saghir’, and he was a NÄá¹£ibÄ«. [Once]They told him that AbÅ«-Rajeh always curses á¹¢aḥÄba.
So that wicked [ruler] ordered to bring him to his present. When he was taken there, the ruler ordered them to beat him. And they beat him so much that he was about to die. They beat him all over his body, even his face so hard that he lost his teeth.
