Hadith 485
۞
H 270 - It is narrated from a group from Abu Abdullah Husain bin Ali bin Musa bin Babawayh that he said: A group of my associates, who were in Baghdad in the year in which the Karamathians raided the pilgrims of Mecca, and the year in which meteoroids fell, narrated that my father (a.s) wrote to Shaykh Abul Qasim Husain Ibn Rauh, may Allah sanctify his tomb, seeking permission to go for Hajj. Reply came, “Don’t go this year.” My father returned a reply, saying
“It is an obligatory pledge. Is it permissible for me not to go? The answer came, “If you must perform, then be in the last caravan.” My father traveled with the last caravan and his life was saved. All the people in other caravans ahead of him were killed.
270- وأخبرني جماعة، عن أبي عبد الله الحسين بن علي بن الحسين بن موسى بن بابويه، قال: حدثني جماعة من أهل بلدنا المقيمين
كانوا ببغداد في السنة التي خرجت القرامطة على الحاج، وهي سنة (تنأثر) الكواكب أن والدي رضي الله عنه كتب إلى الشيخ أبي القاسم الحسين بن روح رضي الله عنه يستأذن في الخروج إلى الحج. فخرج في الجواب: لا تخرج في هذه السنة. فأعاد فقال: هو نذر واجب أفيجوز لي القعود عنه؟ فخرج الجواب: إن كان لابد فكن في القافلة الأخيرة. فكان في القافلة الأخيرة فسلم بنفسه وقتل من تقدمه في القوافل الاخر.
