Al-Ḥasan dispatched Muḥammad ibn Nūḥ and Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl to see to a need of his brother, telling them, “Pass by Thābit al-Bunānī and bring him along with you.” When they came to Thābit, he said, “I am in iʿtikāf (spiritual retreat).” Ḥumayd then returned to al-Ḥasan and informed him of Thābit’s reply. ⦗130⦘ Al-Ḥasan said, “Go back to him and say, ‘O ʿUmaysh, do you not know that walking to fulfill your Muslim brother’s need is better for you than ḥajj after ḥajj?’”
