Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 3|Chapter 123
14ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَطُوفُ فَكَانَ لا يَمُرُّ فِي طَوَافٍ مِنْ طَوَافِهِ بِالرُّكْنِ الْيَمَانِيِّ إِلاَّ اسْتَلَمَهُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللهمَّ تُبْ عَلَيَّ حَتَّى أَتُوبَ وَاعْصِمْنِي حَتَّى لا أَعُودَ.
14. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn al-Nu’man from Ibrahim ibn Sinan from abu Maryam who has said the following: “I once was performing Tawaf with abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, and in every Tawaf on reaching al- Yemaniy corner he would touch it and say, ‘O Lord, forgive and turn to me so I repent and protect me so I will not repeat.’” NOTE:This Hadith is best explained through the Fatwas.
