Hadith 381

(The book) ‘Uyoon Al Mojizaat’ – From Abu Hashim who said, ‘I entered to see Abu Muhammad-asws, and he-asws was writing a letter. The beginning of the time of Salat came up, so he-asws placed down the letter from his-asws hand and stood up to pray the Salat. I saw the pen moving upon the remainder of the paper of the letter and write, until it ended to its end. I fell down in Sajdah. When he-asws left from the Salat he-asws took the pen in his-asws hand and permitted for the people (to visit)’’. [110]
And it is narrated to me by Abu Al Tuhaf Al Misry, raising the Hadeeth by his men up to Abu Yaqoub Is’haq Bin Aban who said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws used to send messages to his-asws companions and his-asws Shias: ‘Go to such and such place, and to the house of so and so, son of so and so for dinner, and in the evening during such and such night, for you will be finding me-asws over there’. And the ones allocated with him-asws were not separating from the door of the place in which he-asws was imprisoned, night and day, and during every five days, Al-Mutawakkil would remove (them) and place others in charge after renewing upon them the bequest of guarding him-asws and being available to stay by his-asws door. His-asws companions and his-asws Shias were coming to the place, and he-asws would have preceded them to it. They would raise their needs to him-asws, and he-asws would fulfil these for them based upon their status, and their layers, and they would leave to go to their places with the signs and the miracles, while he-asws in the prison of the adversaries’’.
