18ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ (عَلَيْهِم السَّلاَم) أَنَّ عَلِيّاً صَلَوَاتُ الله عَلَيْهِ سُئِلَ كَيْفَ يَسْتَلِمُ الأَقْطَعُ الْحَجَرَ قَالَ يَسْتَلِمُ الْحَجَرَ مِنْ حَيْثُ الْقَطْعِ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ مَقْطُوعَةً مِنَ الْمِرْفَقِ اسْتَلَمَ الْحَجَرَ بِشِمَالِهِ.
18. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from af-Nawfafiy from af-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, has said that Ali عليه السلام, was asked about a man whose hand was cut, how he could touch the Black Stone. He (the Imam) said, ‘He touches with the part that is cut, but if it is cut from the elbow, he then touches with his left hand.’”
