“I once went to see abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.). My color had changed and he (the Imam) asked, ‘From where did you assume the state of Ihram?’ I replied, ‘From such and such place.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘There are many who seek goodness but their feet slip.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Will it make you happy to perform four Rak‘at for al-Zuhr Salat (prayer) on a journey?’ I replied, ‘No, it does not make me happy.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘This (your assuming the state of Ihram) by Allah is like that (four Rak‘at on a journey).”’
