Another person is Rashid Abul Abbas bin Maimoon Wasiti, who told us on way to Samarrah that his grandfather, Shaykh Warraam bin Abu Faras (q.s.) being tired of hostilities, left Hilla and stayed in Kazmain shrine for seven weeks. So I set out from Wasit towards Surre man raa. It was winter season and I met him in Kazmain shrine. When I told him of my intentions, he said: I want to write a plea for you, which you should tie in the corner of your garment, and when you reach Samarrah, you should enter the shrine in the evening and stay there. When all leave after performing the Ziyarat, you should come out last and cast this slip near the dome; and if it is missing the following day, you should not say anything to anyone.
The narrator says: I did as instructed and the next morning that slip was missing. Now, I began to visit my family and that Shaykh, whose slip I had carried, had returned home before me. When I met him at his residence, he told me that the purpose for which he had written it was fulfilled.
Abul Abbas says: Thirty years have passed after the death of that Shaykh, but I have never narrated this story to anyone before. This is the first time I am narrating it.
The author says: This Shaykh Warraam was a very religious scholar and a well known jurist of his time. He was a descendant of Malik Ashtar and is the author of Tanbiyatul Khatir, more popular as Majmua Warraam. He was the maternal grandfather of Ibne Taaoos and his mother was the daughter of Shaykh Toosi and the mother of this daughter and another daughter of the Shaykh, who is also the mother of Ibne Idris, is the daughter of Masud Warraam and all three of them were noted scholars having permission to narrate traditions and that Masud Warraam is mistaken to be this Warraam and many books on this topic a strange error has occurred in the translation of Ibne Taaoos and Ibne Idrees, to mention which is not appropriate here. So much so that some have considered these two to be sons of maternal aunts, which is a blatant error and is not concealed from those who are cognizant of the categories of scholars.
