Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām 2, narration 20

Translation

Sa‘d ibn Abdillah narrated from Ya‘qub ibn Yazid from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal from Harun ibn Muslim from al-Hasan ibn Musa al-Hannat. He said: We went out, I (Musa al-Hannat), Jamil ibn Darraj, and ‘A’idh al-Ahmasi, for Hajj. And ‘A’idh would often say to us on the way, “I have a need I wish to ask Abu Abdillah (a.s), about.” And I (Musa al-Hannat) would say to him (‘A’idh), “Wait until we meet Him (a.s).” So when we entered upon Him (a.s), we greeted Him (a.s) and sat down. He (a.s) turned his face toward us and began by saying: “Whoever comes to Allah (swt) with what He (swt) has made obligatory upon him, Allah (swt) will not ask him about anything beyond that.” Then ‘A’idh gestured to us. When we stood up, we said to him, “What was your need?” He (‘A’idh) said: “What you just heard.” We said: “How was that your need?” He (‘A’idh) said: “I am a man who cannot endure standing at night in prayer, so I feared that I would be held accountable for it and destroyed.”
