Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 3|Chapter 169
1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) الرَّجُلُ الأَعْجَمِيُّ وَالْمَرْأَةُ الضَّعِيفَةُ يَكُونَانِ مَعَ الْجَمَّالِ الأَعْرَابِيِّ فَإِذَا أَفَاضَ بِهِمْ مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ مَرَّ بِهِمْ كَمَا مَرَّ بِهِمْ إِلَى مِنًى وَلَمْ يَنْزِلْ بِهِمْ جَمْعاً فَقَالَ أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ صَلَّوْا بِهَا فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَهُمْ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُصَلُّوا بِهَا قَالَ ذَكَرُوا الله فِيهَا فَإِنْ كَانُوا ذَكَرُوا الله فِيهَا فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَهُمْ.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman from Muhammad ibn al-Hakim who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who is a non- Arab with a weak woman and an Arab camel man who takes them to leave ’Arafat and pass along with them through al-Jam‘ (place of assembly al-Muzdalifah) to Mina’, without allowing them to disembark in al-Jam‘. He (the Imam) said, ’Had they been able to perform one Salat (prayer) in it (al-Jam‘) it would have been sufficient for them.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if they cannot perform one Salat (prayer) there ? 5 He (the Imam) said, ‘They can speak of Allah; if they say Dhikr of Allah (speak of Allah), it is sufficient for them. ‘“
