8ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ السَّرَّاجِ قَالَ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَقَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو حَمْزَةَ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي قَالَ وَقَالَ لِي الأصْبَغُ بْنُ نُبَاتَةَ وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَأَرَانِي الأسْطُوَانَةَ السَّابِعَةَ فَقَالَ هَذَا مَقَامُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَالَ وَكَانَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (عَلَيْهِما الْسَّلام) يُصَلِّي عِنْدَ الْخَامِسَةِ فَإِذَا غَابَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) صَلَّى فِيهَا الْحَسَنُ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) وَهِيَ مِنْ بَابِ كِنْدَةَ.

Published English translation

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Isma’il ibn Bazi‘a from Abu Isma’il al- Sarraj who has said the following: “Mu‘awiyah ibn Wahab, holding my hand, said to me, ‘Abu Hamzah holding my hand said to me, “Asbagh ibn Nubatah holding my hand showed me the seventh pillar and said, ‘This is the station of ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) He (the narrator) has said, ‘Al-Hasan ibn Ali (a.s.), would perform Salah (prayer) near the fifth pillar. When ’Amir al-Mu’minin passed away, al-Hasan (a.s.), performed Salah (prayer) at that place and it is from the side of Kindah door.’”
