The Rituals of (Hajj)
، إكمال الدين الْمُظَفَّرُ الْعَلَوِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ الْعَيَّاشِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ إِنَّ الْخَضِرَ شَرِبَ مِنْ مَاءِ الْحَيَاةِ فَهُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ حَتَّى يُنْفَخَ فِي الصُّورِ وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَأْتِينَا فَيُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْنَا فَنَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ وَ لَا نَرَى شَخْصَهُ
(The book) ‘Ikmal Al-Deen’ – Al Muzaffar Al Alawy, from Ibn Al Ayyashi, from his father, from Ja’far Bin Ahmad, from Ibn Fazzal,
From Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘Al-Khizr-as drank from the water of life, so he-as is alive and will not be dying until the Trumpet is blown into, and he-as tends to come to us-asws and greets us-asws. We-asws hear his-as voice and do not see his-as person.
وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَحْضُرُ حَيْثُ ذُكِرَ فَمَنْ ذَكَرَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَحْضُرُ الْمَوَاسِمَ فَيَقْضِي جَمِيعَ الْمَنَاسِكِ وَ يَقِفُ بِعَرَفَةَ فَيُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى دُعَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ سَيُؤْنِسُ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَحْشَةَ قَائِمِنَا ع فِي غَيْبَتِهِ وَ يَصِلُ بِهِ وَحْدَتَهُ
And he-as presents where he-as is mentioned. So the one from you who mentions him-as, let him greet unto him-as, and he-as tends to attend the seasons (of Hajj). He-as fulfils entirety of ‘الْمَنَاسِكِ’ the rituals and pauses at Arafaat. He-as says ‘Ameen’ upon the supplications of the Momineen, and Allah-azwj Comforts the loneliness of our-asws Qaim-ajfj by him-as during his-ajfj occultation and connects with him-ajfj in his-ajfj loneliness’.[1]
