Ali ibn al-Husayn’s AS visiting his Father AS

363. Ali Bin Muhammad, from Salih Bin Abu Hammaad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Abu Hamza who said: The first time I recognised Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام Bin Al-Husayn عليه الصلاة والسلام was when I saw a man enter from the Door of ‘Al-Feel’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام Prayed four cycles. So I followed him عليه الصلاة والسلام until he عليه الصلاة والسلام came to the well of Al-Zakat, and it was in the house of Salih Bin Ali, and there were two she-camels with whom was a black slave. So I said to him, ‘Who is this one?’ He said, ‘This is Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام Bin Al-Husayn عليه الصلاة والسلام. So I approached him عليه الصلاة والسلام. I greeted him عليه الصلاة والسلام and said to him عليه الصلاة والسلام, ‘What is the reason that you عليه الصلاة والسلام have walked into the city in which your عليه الصلاة والسلام father عليه الصلاة والسلام, and your عليه الصلاة والسلام grandfather were killed?’ So he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘I عليه الصلاة والسلام visited (Ziyarat) my عليه الصلاة والسلام father, and Prayed in this Masjid’. Then said: ‘This is where I عليه الصلاة والسلام have turned my عليه الصلاة والسلام attention to. May Allah عز وجل Send Greetings upon him عليه الصلاة والسلام’.
