\n And I was standing one day by the head of my father...

\n And I was standing one day by the head of my father, and it was a day of his gathering to the people, when his guards entered to see him. They said to him, \u2018The son -asws of Al-Reza -asws is at the door\u2019. He said in a loud voice, \u2018Permit for him -asws !\u2019 There entered a brown man of excellent stature, handsome face, good physique, young age. There was majesty and awe for him -asws .

\n When my father looked at him -asws , he stood up walking some steps towards him -asws , and I had not known him to do this with anyone from the clan of Hashim -asws , nor with the leaders, nor with the prices.

When he was near him -asws , he hugged him -asws , and kissed his -asws face and his -asws shoulders, and held his -asws hand, and seated him -asws upon his -asws prayer mat which he had been upon, and he seated to his -asws side facing towards him -asws with his face and went on to speak to him -asws , referring to him -asws by his -asws teknonym, and ransoming (saying, \u2018May I be sacrificed for you -asws \u2019), with himself and his fathers.

\n And I was surprised from what I had seen from him when the guards entered. They said, \u2018Al-Muwafaq is coming!\u2019 (Brother of caliph Al-Mu\u2019tamid and commander of his army). And Al-Muwaffaq, whenever he came and entered to see my father, his guards and his special leaders would precede him. They would stand between the gathering of my father and between the door of the house in two rows until he would enter and exit.

\n My father did not cease to face towards him, discussing with him, until he looked at the special servants. On that day he said, \u2018Whenever you -asws so desire, you -asws can stand (to go).

May Allah -azwj Make me to be sacrificed for you -asws , O Abu Muhammad -asws !\u2019 \n Then he said to his servants, \u2018Take him -asws to be behind the two rows lest the commander sees him -asws !\u2019 \u2013 meaning Al-Muwaffaq, and my father stood up and hugged him -asws and kissed his -asws face and went. \n I said to the guards and his servants, \u2018Woe be unto you all!

Who is this one whom my father has done this with him -asws ?\u2019 They said, \u2018He -asws is a man from the Alawites call Al-Hassan -asws Bin Ali -asws , known as \u2018Son -asws of Al-Reza -asws \u2019\u2019.
