I asked him about the family of Abu Muhammad-asws. He said, ‘O my brother! You are asking about a mighty matter. I have performed Hajj twenty times, all of which I was seeking with it to see the Imam-ajfj, but I could not find any way to that. While I was sleeping at night in my bed when I saw a speaker saying, ‘O Ali Bin Ibrahim! Allah-azwj has Permitted for me regarding the Hajj! ’ I did not understand during my night until I came to the morning. I was thinking regarding my matter watching the season (Hajj) in my night and my day. When it was the time of the season (Hajj), I corrected my affairs and went out heading towards Al-Medina. I did not cease to be like that until I entered Yasrib. I asked about the family of Abu Muhammad-asws, but I could not find any trace nor heard any news for it. I paused thinking regarding my affair until I went out from Al-Medina intending Makkah. I entered Al-Johfa and stayed at it for a day, and I went out from it heading towards Al-Ghadeer, and it is upon four miles from Al-Johfa. When I entered the Masjid, I prayed Salat, and was excessive, and struggled regarding the supplication and beseeched to Allah-azwj for them, and I went out intending Usfahan. I did not cease to be like that until I entered Makkah. I stayed at it for days performing Tawaaf of the House (Kabah), and I performed Itikaaf (seclusion in the Masjid). While I was in performing the Tawaaf at night, there I was with a youth of handsome face, pleasant aroma, confident in his walk, performing Tawaaf around the House (Kabah). My heart felt him. I stood up to go towards him. I told him. He said to me: ‘From where is the man? ’ I said, ‘From the people of Al-Iraq’. He said to me: ‘From which (part of) Al-Iraq? ’ I said, ‘Al-Ahwaz’ (now in Iran). He (said to me: ‘Do you know Ibn Al-Khazeyb at it? ’ I said, ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on him! He was Called (by Allah-azwj) and he answered’. He said: ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on him! How long were his nights, and frequent were his invocations, and the flowing of his tears. Do you know Ali Bin Ibrahim Al-Maziyar? ’ I said, ‘I am Ali Bin Ibrahim’. He said: ‘May Allah-azwj Keep you alive, Abu Al-Hassan! What happened to the sign which was between you and Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws? ’ I said, ‘It is with me’. He said: ‘Bring it out! ’ I inserted my hand in my pocket and brought it out. When he saw it, he could not control his eyes
