6- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ نَذَرَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ فَمَرَّ بِمَعْبَرٍ قَالَ فَلْيَقُمْ فِي الْمِعْبَرِ قَائِماً حَتَّى يَجُوزَ.
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that ’ Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali, Alayhi al-Salam, was asked about a man who made a vow and commitment to walk to the house and he arrived on a crossing. He (the Imam) said, ’He must remain standing until there is room to cross the crossing.’”
