1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Ri’ab from Zurarah who has said the following
“Once I was in the presence of abu Ja’far (a.s.), in a funeral procession of one of his relatives. When he completed the prayer for a deceased, the guardian of the deceased said to abu Ja’far (a.s.), ’Please return home. May Allah grant you the reward. Please do not become tired. You are not strong enough to walk. 5 I then said to abu Ja’far (a.s.), ’He has given you permission to return. I am in need of something and I want to ask you about it.’ Abu Ja’far,
1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ
كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فِي جِنَازَةٍ لِبَعْضِ قَرَابَتِهِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ قَالَ وَلِيُّهُ لأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) ارْجِعْ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ مَأْجُوراً وَلاَ تَعَنَّى لأَنَّكَ تَضْعُفُ عَنِ الْمَشْيِ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا لأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَدْ أَذِنَ لَكَ فِي الرُّجُوعِ فَارْجِعْ وَلِيَ حَاجَةٌ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) إِنَّمَا هُوَ فَضْلٌ وَأَجْرٌ فَبِقَدْرِ مَا يَمْشِي مَعَ الْجَنَازَةِ يُؤْجَرُ الَّذِي يَتْبَعُهَا فَأَمَّا بِإِذْنِهِ فَلَيْسَ بِإِذْنِهِ جِئْنَا وَلاَ بِإِذْنِهِ نَرْجِعُ.
