Muslims and on you, if you belonged to them! If you want to vie in glory (with me), by Allah, the
polytheists from among my people did not regard the Muslims from among your people as their
equals when they said: “Muhammed, let our equals from Quraysh meet us (in battle)! Leave the
reins of my mount!
Nafee‘ went away while he was unable to see his way out of shame and disgrace with which the
Imam branded him.[1]
2. With al‐Fedl b. al‐Rabi‘
Harun al‐Rashid paid a visitation to the tomb of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family.
So Imam Musa, peace be on him, met him. When the meeting was over, the Imam came out and
passed by Muhammed al‐Ameen, son of (Harun) al‐Rashid, who turned to al‐Fedl b. al‐Rabi‘ and
commanded him: “Admonish this!” So al‐Rabi‘ arose and asked the Imam: ‐What! Is this the
animal on which you meet the Commander of the faithful? If you were seeking (something) on it,
you would not obtain it and if you were being sought (while you were on it), you would not
escape.
‐It is beneath the vanity of horses and above the lowliness of asses and the best of matters are
those that are moderate.[2]
The Imam left him and went away. Confusion, tiredness, and incapability appeared on al‐Fedl’s
face.
3. With Abu Yousif
Harun al‐Rashid ordered Abu Yousif[3] to ask Imam Musa in his presence, that incapability might
appear on him and he would use it as a means to degrade his dignity. When the Imam, peace be
on him, met them, Abu Yousif asked him: ‐ What do you say about making shade (from the sun)
for the person consecrated as (muhrim)? ‐ It is not permitted.
‐ Shall he pitch a tent and enter it?
‐ Yes.
‐ What is the difference between the two places?
‐ What do you say about a menstruating woman‐does she compensate the prayer?
‐ No.
‐ Does she compensate the fasting?
‐ Yes.
‐ Why?
