2686. ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Yaʿqūb related to us; Yūsuf ibn Shuʿayb narrated to us; Mūsā ibn Naṣr narrated to us; Jarīr narrated to us, from Muḥammad ibn ʿUbayd Allāh al-ʿAzramī, who said:

A mount was brought for Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib so that he might ride it, but he could not do so. We therefore lifted him until he was seated upon it. He then prayed, “O Allah, disgrace a people who allege and say that I can go to Kūfah in one night and return the same night.”
