33ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قُلْتُ نَكُونُ بِمَكَّةَ أَوْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَوِ الْحِيرَةِ أَوِ الْمَوَاضِعِ الَّتِي يُرْجَى فِيهَا الْفَضْلُ فَرُبَّمَا خَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيَجِيءُ آخَرُ فَيَصِيرُ مَكَانَهُ قَالَ مَنْ سَبَقَ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ يَوْمَهُ وَلَيْلَتَهُ.
33. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from certain individuals of his people who have said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘We may happen to be in Makkah or al-Madinah or al-Hirah, or in such places where there is hope that there is a degree of excellence for being there. If one goes out for Wudu’, can, in such case, another person come and occupy his place?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If one finds a place he is more deserving of it for a day and night than others.’”
