6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَأَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) إِذَا دَخَلْتَ مِنَ الْبَابِ الثَّانِي فِي مَيْمَنَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَعُدَّ خَمْسَ أَسَاطِينَ ثِنْتَيْنِ مِنْهَا فِي الظِّلاَلِ وَثَلاَثَةً فِي الصَّحْنِ فَعِنْدَ الثَّالِثَةِ مُصَلَّى إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) وَهِيَ الْخَامِسَةُ مِنَ الْحَائِطِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ أَيَّامُ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ دَخَلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) مِنْ بَابِ الْفِيلِ فَتَيَاسَرَ حِينَ دَخَلَ مِنَ الْبَابِ فَصَلَّى عِنْدَ الأسْطُوَانَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ وَهِيَ بِحِذَاءِ الْخَامِسَةِ فَقُلْتُ أَ فَتِلْكَ أُسْطُوَانَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فَقَالَ لِي نَعَمْ.
6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Isma’il and Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sufyan al- Simt who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘When you enter the Masjid through the second door on the right of the Masjid, count five pillars, two in shadow and three in the open compound, near the third is the station of Ibrahim, Allah has granted him peace. It is the fifth from the wall.’ He (narrator) has said, ‘During the rule of abu al-‘Abbas, abu ‘Abd Allah, entered through al-fil door, bore to the left on entering the door and performed Salah (prayer) near the fourth pillar which is opposite to the fifth pillar.’ I then asked, ‘Is this the pillar of Ibrahim?’ He replied, ‘Yes, it is.’”
