5ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ قُثَمَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنَّكَ لَتُدْمِنُ الْحَجَّ قُلْتُ أَجَلْ قَالَ فَلْيَكُنْ آخِرُ عَهْدِكَ بِالْبَيْتِ أَنْ تَضَعَ يَدَكَ عَلَى الْبَابِ وَتَقُولَ الْمِسْكِينُ عَلَى بَابِكَ فَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْهِ بِالْجَنَّةِ.
5. Af-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ai-Nahdiy from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from ‘Abd Affah ibn Jabalah from Qutham ibn Ka‘b who has said the foilowing: “Abu `Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, £ Do you perform al-Hajj very often?’ I replied, £ Yes, I do so.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘During your last farewell of the House, you should place your hand at the door and say, “The destitute is standing at Your door. Give him paradise as charity.’””
