اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ مُصَادِفٍ قَالَ: خَرَجَ بِي دُمَّلٌ فَكُنْتُ أَسْجُدُ عَلَى جَانِبٍ فَرَأَى أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَثَرَهُ فَقَالَ« مَا هَذَا» فَقُلْتُ لاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَسْجُدَ مِنْ أَجْلِ اَلدُّمَّلِ فَإِنَّمَا أَسْجُدُ مُنْحَرِفاً فَقَالَ لِي« لاَ تَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ اِحْفِرْ حَفِيرَةً وَ اِجْعَلِ اَلدُّمَّلَ فِي اَلْحَفِيرَةِ حَتَّى تَضَعَ جَبْهَتَكَ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Safwan ibn Yahya, from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar, from one of his companions, from Musadif, who said:
A boil had appeared on me (forehead), so I was prostrating on one side. Abu Abdillah عليه السلام saw its mark and said: “What is this?” I said: “I cannot prostrate because of the boil, so I prostrate while turned to the side.” Imam عليه السلام said to me: “Do not do that. Dig a small pit and place the boil into the pit so that you may place your forehead on the ground.”
