to the desert and performs a long prostration to the extent that birds come and sit on him, for they think that he is a garment or a rag. Wild animals graze around him; they are not afraid of him, for they are intimate with him. When the armed paupers come to attack the people or fight against them, they flee in the world out of fear of his person.'" Al-Fayd said: "I thought that this man was in the first time. Shortly after that, while I was sitting with my father, may Allah have mercy on him, in the estate of al-Rabï', a handsome old man came wearing a yellowish shirt and cloak and greenish sandals. He greeted my father and he got up for him, greeted him, and magnified him. When he wanted to go to Ibn Abu'Umayr, I asked (my father): 'Who is this old man?.' 'This is al-Hasan b. 'Ali b. Fadda`l,' replied (my father). 'Is he the meritorious worshipful?' I asked. 'Yes, he is,' answered (my father). 'Isn't he on the mountain?' I asked. 'Yes he is,' answered (my father), 'what heedless your reason is , boy!' I told him about what I heard from the people concerning him and he said: 'That is true.' After that he came constantly to my father. Then I went to him in Kufa and heard from him the book of Ibn AbuBukayr and traditions other than it. He carried his book, came to al-Hijjra, and recited it for me. When the son-in-law of Ta`hir b. al-Husayn performed the hajj, the people magnified him because of his money and his important position with the Sultan (ruler). He (al-Husayn) was described for him, but he did not go to him. He (the son-in-law of Tahir b. al-Husayn) sent for him asking his coming. He (al-Husayn) said: 'I have no kinship; there is no work between them and me.' After that I knew that his coming to me was for his religion. As for his place of praying, it was near the pillar called
al-Sabi'a (the Seventh) or the Pillar of Ibrahïm, peace be on him, in the mosque of Kufa. He, AbuMohammed, and 'Ali b. Asbat met. Al-Hajjal claimed theology; he was the best of the people in theology. Ibn Faddal ascribed me to him concerning theology and knowledge. He loved me very much. Al-Hasan was famous for that throughout his lifetime until death came to him, and he died. He believed in the True Religion, may Allah have mercy on him."

Al-Husayn hurried to say: "Will I look at Allah, the Great and Almighty?"
"Yes, by Allah," he, peace be on him, replied.
After that al-Husayn was sure that Imam al-Ka`zim died, and Imam al-Rida was the Imam after him.
The Imam, peace be on him, turned to him and said: "I did not want to permit you (to come in), for the affair is critical¾that is because of the observation imposed on him by the 'Abba`sid authority. However, I have known your affair (i.e. that you belong to the Waqifiya)."
