Chapter: Saying Farewell to the House 4ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ ٠َّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْ٠َاعِيلَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) هُوَ ذَا أَخْرُجُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَ٠ِنْ أَيْنَ أُوَدِّعُ الْبَيْتَ قَالَ تَأْتِي الْ٠ُسْتَجَارَ بَيْنَ الْحَجَرِ وَالْبَابِ فَتُوَدِّعُهُ ٠َّ تَخْرُجُ فَتَشْرَبُ ٠ْضِي فَقُلْتُ أَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِي فَقَالَ لا تَقْرَبِ الصَّبَّ.

Wherefrom should I say farewell to the House?’ He (the Imam) said, £ Go to al-Mustajar, between the door and the Black Stone, and say farewell from there, then leave and drink water from Zamzam then move on.’ I then asked, £ Can I pour water on my head?’ He (the Imam) said, Do not get near pouring.’” NOTE: Fatwa best explains Hadith 4 of this Chapter. شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (18/230))
