The Sufficient (Vol 4) · Hadith 1618 (#Ḥadīth #4)

4ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ بَابِ الصَّفَا قُلْتُ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا قَدِ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ بَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُ الَّذِي يَلِي السِّقَايَةَ وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُ الَّذِي يَلِي الْحَجَرَ فَقَالَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَلِي السِّقَايَةَ مُحْدَثٌ صَنَعَهُ دَاوُدُ وَفَتَحَهُ دَاوُدُ.

4. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Servants (of Allah) al-Hamid ibn Sa‘id who has said the following: “I asked abu Ibrahim , about the door of al-Safa’ saying, ‘Our people have differences about it. Certain ones among them say, “It is in front of the water fountain and others say that it is in front of the Black Stone.’” He (the Imam) said, ‘It is the one which is in front of the water fountain. Dawud initiated it and Dawud was the one who opened it.’”
