حدثنا بشر بن خالد، حدثنا شبابة بن سوار، عن نعيم بن حكيم، عن أبي مريم، قال ‏:‏ إن كان ذلك المخدج لمعنا يومئذ في المسجد نجالسه بالليل والنهار، وكان فقيرا ورأيته مع المساكين يشهد طعام علي عليه السلام مع الناس وقد كسوته برنسا لي ‏.‏ قال أبو مريم ‏:‏ وكان المخدج يسمى نافعا ذا الثدية، وكان في يده مثل ثدى المرأة على رأسه حلمة مثل حلمة الثدى عليه شعيرات مثل سبالة السنور ‏.‏ قال أبو داود ‏:‏ وهو عند الناس اسمه حرقوس ‏.‏

ABU MARYAM SAID: THIS MAN WITH THE CRIPPLED HAND WAS ON THAT DAY WITH US IN THE MOSQUE. WE WOULD SIT WITH HIM BY DAY AND BY NIGHT, AND HE WAS A POOR MAN. I SAW HIM ATTENDING THE MEALS OF ‘ALI(ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH HIM) WHICH HE TOOK WITH THE PEOPLE, AND I CLOTHED HIM WITH A CLOAK OF MINE.Abu Maryam said: The man with the crippled hand was called Nafi' Dhu al-Thadyah (Nafi', man of nipple). He had in his hand something like a female breast with a nipple at it ends like the nipple of the female breast. If had some hair on it like the whiskers of cat.Abu Dawud said: Hw was known among the people by the name of Harqus.
