9ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ مَنْ أَقَامَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ شَهْراً وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ فِي غَيْرِ طَرِيقِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّذِي يَأْخُذُونَهُ فَلْيَكُنْ إِحْرَامُهُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ سِتَّةِ أَمْيَالٍ فَيَكُونُ حِذَاءَ الشَّجَرَةِ مِنَ الْبَيْدَاءِ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى يُحْرِمُ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ أَيَّ طَرِيقٍ شَاءَ.
9. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Fiassan ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘One who stays in al-Madinah for one month, then wants to perform al-Hajj; but he decides to travel from a road other than the road of the people of al- Madinah, his Ihram is from a distance of six miles, parallel to al-Shajarah in al-Bayda’. In another Hadith it says that one assumes the state of Ihram from al-Shajarah and travels whichever way he wants.’”
