Walking Faster (Running Slowly) in Muhassar Valley

2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ بِوَادِي مُحَسِّرٍ فَأَمَرَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) بَعْدَ الانْصِرَافِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فَيَسْعَى.
2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hajjal from certain persons of our people who has said the following: “A man passed by Wadiy Muhassar and abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, after his arriving in Makkah commanded him to go back to perform Sa‘y (running slowly).”’ (Fatwa best explains Hadith 1-2 of this Chapter)
