9ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَدْ دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ ثُمَّ أَرَادَ بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهِ فَصَلَّى دُونَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَمَضَى حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ.
9. It is narrated from him (narrator of previous Hadith) from ibn Faddal from Yunus ibn Ya’qub who has said the following: “I saw abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, enter al-Ka‘bah and he (the Imam) wanted between the two pillars; but could not get there, he (the Imam) then performed Salat (prayer) nearby, then went out and continued walking until he left the Masjid.”
